Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 442: Chapter 223: Pursuing a Beaten Enemy

During the earlier battle, Shen Qingyao had used the Ice Soul Jade Marrow to unleash her Frost Snow Realm, clashing head-on with the Earth Defect Old Monster’s Yin Evil Realm several times. The mountaintop had been enveloped in both icy and Yin Evil Qi, and the Beast-Attracting Incense had long since been extinguished.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang fled in a panic, and after another chase and skirmish with the Earth Defect Old Monster, they had reached the forest at the foot of the mountain.

Afterward, an unknown expert ambushed the Earth Defect Old Monster with Saber Intent, but the two sisters still dared not stop.

They fled for another several hundred yards, hiding themselves on a densely wooded slope, only then daring to turn their heads and watch from afar.

When they looked, they saw the terrifying scene of the Earth Defect Old Monster combining his Primordial Gang True Force and Yin Evil Realm, unleashing an earth-shattering power.

The two sisters’ faces turned pale with shock, and a lingering fear crept into their hearts.

They had clearly underestimated the Earth Defect Old Monster’s strength.

The move the Earth Defect Old Monster had unleashed was an indiscriminate attack, blanketing an area dozens of yards in radius with Primordial Gang True Force and Yin Evil Qi.

If they had been caught within that range, they would have found it difficult to resist, even if they had forcibly stimulated all their Qi Blood Power and combined their strength to unleash the Frost Snow Realm in opposition.

Even if they could have resisted, they would have been severely injured, making it nearly impossible to escape from the Earth Defect Old Monster’s clutches. They would have been completely at his mercy.

The two sisters’ eyes were filled with deep apprehension and worry.

The Earth Defect Old Monster was truly worthy of being an Organ Refining Realm Martial Artist. Even in his twilight years, with his Qi Blood failing, his true combat strength was still so terrifying!

Forget the two of them; even their patriarch, Shen Mingyuan, a martial artist at Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection, would likely struggle to contend with the Earth Defect Old Monster if he were here.

"Should we go back and use the Frost Snow Realm to lend that senior a hand?"

Shen Qingyao asked with some hesitation.

’The Frost Snow Realm poses little threat to the Earth Defect Old Monster, but if used to assist this Saber Intent expert, it should be quite effective.’

Shen Qingshuang shook her head. "Our Frost Snow Realm can certainly slow down the Earth Defect Old Monster.

But when we unleash the Frost Snow Realm, we’ll inevitably injure the senior by mistake.

Even if we cast it carefully, the icy aura will affect the senior’s Body Technique and speed. We’d just be getting in the way."

Shen Qingyao said anxiously, "Then what should we do? We can’t just do nothing, can we?

That senior’s Saber Intent is formidable, but it clearly can’t break through the Earth Defect Old Monster’s Primordial Gang True Force. I’m afraid he won’t be able to win.

His life might even be in danger!"

Shen Qingshuang said, "Let’s watch a little longer. If the situation turns bad, our only option is to retreat first."

"Sigh... I just hope that senior was fast enough to dodge and didn’t get hurt!" Shen Qingyao sighed.

She understood Shen Qingshuang’s meaning. Since they couldn’t help, the only thing they could do was avoid getting in the way.

They also had to prepare for the worst and prioritize their own survival. Only then would they not be letting down the Saber Intent senior who had come to their aid.

This was undoubtedly the wise course of action!

The Earth Defect Old Monster’s immensely powerful move made the entire mountain forest tremble.

The many Demon Beasts that had rushed to the area sensed this terrifying power and stopped in their tracks, trembling with fear.

The weaker Demon Beasts were so frightened they even prostrated themselves on the ground, letting out whimpers that sounded like pleas for mercy.

"The Saber Intent senior isn’t hurt!"

Shen Qingshuang suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

After the earth-shattering commotion died down, a figure suddenly flashed out from several yards away, appearing behind the Earth Defect Old Monster in an instant.

The Long Saber in his hand, wrapped in an incomparably sharp Saber Intent, came slashing down.

"You dare, whelp!" the Earth Defect Old Monster roared, sweeping a claw wreathed in Primordial Gang True Force behind him in a backhanded strike.

But he had just unleashed a massive burst of energy and was in a weakened state. The Primordial Gang True Force in this claw strike was clearly insufficient.

BOOM!

The Saber Intent and Primordial Gang True Force collided, erupting in a violent roar.

Both the Earth Defect Old Monster and the saber-wielding figure were sent flying several yards away.

The "Saber Intent senior" the two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, spoke of was, of course, Chen Cheng.

Having mastered the Beginner Level Concealment Secret Skill, Chen Cheng’s Perception naturally far surpassed that of Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang.

The Earth Defect Old Monster’s strength was indeed formidable, far surpassing that of a Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection Martial Artist.

But he was not invincible.

The first time Shen Qingyao used her Frost Snow Realm, the Earth Defect Old Monster broke through it with his Yin Evil Realm.

When Shen Qingyao used the Frost Snow Realm a second time, the Earth Defect Old Monster again met it head-on with his Yin Evil Realm.

After using his Yin Evil Realm twice in a row, the Earth Defect Old Monster had consumed more than half of his Yin Evil Qi, and his attacks grew weaker each time.

By the third time, the Earth Defect Old Monster could no longer contend with Shen Qingyao’s Frost Snow Realm using only his Yin Evil Realm, which was why he had to stimulate his Qi Blood Power to unleash his Primordial Gang True Force.

He hadn’t used his Primordial Gang True Force from the start, undoubtedly because he was afraid that doing so would consume a massive amount of his Qi Blood Power and damage his body’s Innate Origin.

The Earth Defect Old Monster had another weakness. Because he lacked both feet, he had to constantly channel his Primordial Gang True Force to generate a wind Momentum to move.

Chen Cheng had keenly identified the Earth Defect Old Monster’s weaknesses, and when he struck, his main goal was to wear him down.

He used his Great Power Realm to pin down the Earth Defect Old Monster and keep him guessing about his true strength.

He then combined it with his Qingfeng Saber Intent to constantly harass him.

The Earth Defect Old Monster was clearly wary of the Qingfeng Saber Intent. Every time he attacked, he stimulated all his Qi Blood Power and responded with Primordial Gang True Force.

He even went so far as to expend all his Qi Blood Power, combining his Primordial Gang True Force and Yin Evil Realm to unleash a devastating final move in an attempt to end the fight quickly.

Chen Cheng had anticipated this as well, using the wind Momentum to retreat and dodge early on.

’Only in a true life-and-death battle did I finally experience the incredible power of the Concealment Secret Skill to anticipate an enemy’s moves. I have to admit, it feels truly exhilarating.’

Chen Cheng took advantage of the moment after the Earth Defect Old Monster had unleashed his ultimate move and was left without momentum. He forced him back with a single slash and once again perceived that the old monster’s Qi Blood had weakened even further.
