Chapter 473: Chapter 215: Chance Encounter with Xu Gongtong, Tier Four Exotic Poison
"What!"
The Blue Robe Cultivator’s eyes widened. "An Instantaneous True Essence Secret Technique?"
’How is this possible?’
The Xu Family also possessed True Essence Secret Techniques, which could multiply the power of their Magic.
But as a trade-off, not only did it consume a multiple of the normal Magical Power, but each multiplication of power required additional preparation time.
Xiao Chen had just been using a Spiritual Artifact; he couldn’t have had time to prepare.
’So why was he able to summon such a powerful Fire Dragon instantly?’
In comparison, the Ice Phoenix he had struggled to form was only eight hundred zhang long, less than half the size.
With no time to think, the Blue Robe Cultivator commanded his Ice Phoenix to charge forward, attempting to rescue the Black-robed Cultivator.
At the same time, he pulled out a Jade Talisman, bit his finger, and activated it with his blood.
BOOM!
Pure Gold Geng Metal Divine Thunder immediately surged forth, instantly reaching Xiao Chen and engulfing him.
In that moment, a full twenty-four layers of Fire Lotus were torn to shreds.
Fortunately, thanks to the Augment’s enhancement, the Jade Platform Fire Lotus had a total of one hundred layers, leaving seventy-six still intact.
The Blue Robe Cultivator stared at the scene in disbelief, wondering if he had bought a fake.
’A Geng Metal Divine Thunder, comparable to a full-power strike from a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator, enhanced by my family’s Blood Seal Secret Technique... and it did nothing?’
"A Celestial Level technique!"
After setting up the blockade according to plan, Ge Dongyan was shocked to realize that Xiao Chen had no intention of running.
He was even more astonished that not even the Geng Metal Divine Thunder could break through Xiao Chen’s Body Protection Technique.
He immediately looked at the Cyan Robe Cultivator below. "Something’s not right! Attack together!"
At this point, however, Xiao Chen actually relaxed.
In the heat of battle, everyone’s auras were fully exposed. He registered that the Black-robed Cultivator, as well as the other three, were all Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivators.
The only Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator present, Xu Gongtong, hadn’t even had a chance to make a move.
This meant that, for all intents and purposes, the outcome of the battle was already decided.
’No wonder they resorted to a petty trick like poison in the beginning. They’re just a bunch of scrubs.’
Of course, objectively speaking, Xu Gongtong couldn’t be blamed. Even if two other Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators had been lured here today, there was a 99% chance they would have died here together in a normal Magical Combat.
Superiority in numbers was, in fact, very important, not to mention that Xu Gongtong and his nephew both knew True Essence Secret Techniques.
Logically, they should have been able to make even an opponent like Red Peony flee in panic.
But he had the misfortune of running into Xiao Chen. Not only did the carefully prepared Exotic Poison fail to have its intended effect, but it also caused him to lower his guard and enter a dangerous range.
That would have been one thing. Normally, even if a Body Cultivator got close, he had plenty of ways to counter them.
The problem was, only Xu Gongtong, who was there to witness it, knew how absurd it was to shatter a Spiritual Robe and a Body-Protecting Spirit Jade with a direct blow from a golden mace.
This was ten times more absurd than the Instantaneous True Essence Secret Technique.
Xu Gongtong could swear to the heavens that in all his life, he had not only never seen such a thing, but had never even heard of it.
He watched helplessly as his maternal nephew and his paternal nephew were reduced to ash one after another in the Fire Dragon.
He watched his fourth brother get entangled by the Magic Soul Puppet, then torn apart by the golden mace.
Ge Dongyan saw things were going badly and tried to flee, but it wasn’t long before a shrill scream echoed from the distance.
Tears streamed down Xu Gongtong’s face, his heart filled with regret.
’If I had known, I never should have gotten close to Xiao Chen.’
If he hadn’t been ambushed, with his strength as the greatest Combat Power anchoring them, how could they have ended up like this?
Seeing Xiao Chen turn back towards him, he struggled to his feet. "Golden Light Taoist, please wait."
"A man is about to die, I have..."
SHLICK!
The Donghua Wind Sword flashed past, cleaving him in two.
Unless the situation was special, Xiao Chen wasn’t in the habit of chatting with his enemies.
BOOM!
An exceptionally violent explosion erupted from where Xu Gongtong had been standing, causing the entire island to shake three times.
The fierce shockwave, even from hundreds of zhang away, shredded twenty-two layers of the protective Fire Lotus.
"Not good!"
Xiao Chen’s expression changed. "My Storage Ring!"
He hurriedly rushed into the sea of fire, braving the raging flames to begin his search.
Fortunately, although the Storage Ring had been at the center of the explosion and was now charred black and deformed, its Restriction was still intact.
