Chapter 120: Battle
“Green Faced Demon? I think you should change your name to Green Faced Dead Man!”
Faced with the green-faced baldy who claimed to be an elder of a certain sect, Zhou Chen was not only fearless, but he also took the initiative to attack him.
His figure moved, flashing in front of this bald man, and punched him ruthlessly in the face.
The green-faced baldy continued to smile at his fast attack. He only raised his left arm to block, looking rather relaxed.
Then, there was a boom, and the surrounding air was shaken by the collision.
A faint but clear bone-cracking sound was heard. The green-faced baldy took a few steps back. The corners of his mouth were suffused with red drops, and the expression in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Chen immediately changed.
“What technique is this?!”
He asked with a dark expression.
“Old man, you have some skills. As expected of someone who calls himself an elder.”
Zhou Chen did not answer his question and only smiled at him.
He had activated the Rebound passive skill earlier and had even coincidentally triggered the Brutal Strike, so this bald old man’s expert demeanor was immediately broken. The bones in the old man’s arm directly cracked from the terrifying strength, and he even suffered internal injuries.
However, the fact that the baldy did not collapse or vomit blood after suffering such an injury already proved that his strength was not ordinary. He was the strongest enemy Zhou Chen had encountered so far.
After killing the Tiger Demon, Zhou Chen’s physique had increased greatly, and his Giant Strength passive skill had also been upgraded. This way, the damage he dealt when triggering the Brutal Strike would be much higher than before. If the Tiger Demon had been hit by this Brutal Strike, it would probably have been seriously injured. It would definitely not be able to hold on like this bald head.
“Hmm, you call yourself an elder of whatever sect, but you’re hiding in the mountains and don’t have many disciples to look after you. How miserable!”
Zhou Chen continued to provoke the old baldy, making the old man frown. His figure flashed as he charged forward again.
An ear-splitting sound similar to the collision of steel appeared in the air. This time, the green-faced baldy did not dare to be careless.
He used all his strength to fight Zhou Chen. His every punch and kick was ruthless. From time to time, he would shape his hands into claws and strike at Zhou Chen’s eyes, throat, and lower body part.
However, Zhou Chen had a lot of combat experience, and would not be easily hit. More importantly, Zhou Chen’s physique was far superior to that of ordinary people. Not only was his strength and defense astonishing, but his agility was also very high. Coupled with the Low Light Vision that could see things clearly in this environment where there was only moonlight and the Dynamic Vision that allowed him to see rapid attacks clearly, it was not difficult to deal with this bald old man’s every move.
The two of them fought for a while. Zhou Chen only suffered some light external injuries, while the bald old man’s internal injuries were worsening due to the Rebound. From time to time, he would have to endure a Brutal Strike, making his already old bones become increasingly weak.
‘This kid seems to have corpse poison in his body too. No wonder my corpse poison has no obvious effect on him.’
The more they fought, the more shocked the baldy that looked like a zombie became. This was because he realized that the style of this young enemy in front of him was quite similar to his. His physique was very powerful, his strength was terrifying, his defense was very high, and he also carried corpse poison. It made him suspect that this young man was cultivated by someone from the same sect.
“This kid’s technique seems to be similar to mine, but there are some strange aspects to it. From time to time, he erupts with extraordinary strength, and there is also the unavoidable shock to internal organs.”
The bald old man felt that he could not continue fighting like this. The zombie-like tough body that he had trampled countless enemies with did not have any advantage in front of this young man. Instead, it gradually fell into a disadvantage under the latter’s strange attacks.
Whoosh
Seizing the opportunity, the bald middle-aged man who called himself Green Faced Demon suddenly opened his purplish green lips and spat out a ball of smelly black gas.
This black gas was produced by a move in his cultivation technique. It was the poisonous corpse aura that had been brewing in his body for a long time. Mortals would immediately die if they touched it, and warriors with powerful physiques would also lose their eyesight and their bodies would ulcerate, quickly losing their combat strength and be at his mercy.
Because this mouthful of corpse aura had been accumulating for a long time, it shot out explosively. Even with Zhou Chen’s astonishing agility, he could not dodge it completely.
“Brat, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant now!”
Seeing the corpse aura he spat out enveloping the young man’s entire body, the bald man seemed to have already seen the young man’s miserable state through the black gas. He could not help but be delighted.
“Something’s wrong… Why are there no screams?”
However, the next moment, the bald old man felt that something was wrong. In the past, when he used this move to attack his opponent, even iron-blooded men would immediately cry out from the corpse aura’s torturous pain. No one could endure the pain without screaming out.
He immediately retreated and waited for the black gas to disperse.
However, just as he was retreating, Zhou Chen charged out of the black gas. He seemed to be unharmed, as if the surrounding black gas was completely useless against him.
‘This kid is too strange. Looks like I have to retreat today!’
The baldy turned and fled decisively. The zombie-like body ran quickly among the rocks, not at all showing any signs of clumsiness.
He had no choice. The cultivation technique he cultivated mainly focused on body refinement, paying attention to using a powerful physique to suppress others. There were not many tricks in terms of technique. At most, he would use corpse aura and corpse poison, but this brat’s physique was completely not inferior to his. Even corpse aura was ineffective on him, and he also knew some very strange offensive techniques. Even with his powerful body, he was quite injured, and could only choose to run.
However, less than two seconds after he ran, he felt that the kid behind him had caught up to him. At the same time, a powerful heat enveloped him.
Ah!
With a miserable cry, the baldy who called himself Green Faced Demon was swept by the flames spewed out by Zhou Chen. His body, which was already covered in external and internal injuries, suffered burns all over.
However, Zhou Chen did not care how miserable he was. When he saw that this person’s resistance to fire seemed to be low, he chased after him and kept attacking him. Once the bald man was restrained, he would immediately be rewarded with a bath of fire.
A discordant scene immediately appeared in the wilderness under the moonlight. A young man was chasing and beating a bald man whose body was charred black and emitting smoke. Once the bald man’s speed decreased, the young man would spew fire and chase after him, making him cry out miserably.
This situation lasted for about ten minutes. At the end, all the fire energy in Zhou Chen’s body was spewed out. The baldy was still not dead, so he had to punch the baldy’s head again and again until the skull caved in..
