Chapter 1691: The Frightening Tianfu Divine Lord! (1/2)
The most crucial thing was that the Tianfu Divine Lord was simply too fast, his movement technique several times faster than the Greater Void Step and completely untraceable. One had to realize that the Greater Void Step was already powerful enough to be considered a legendary martial art, but the Tianfu Divine Lord unbelievably had an even faster technique.
Wang Chong had never imagined that such a powerful martial art or martial artist could exist!
Even if Wang Chong could sense the existence of the Southern Dipper Star Awl, the man was so fast that the awl seemed to be present at every possible position.
It was impossible to locate the Star Awl's true position!
Too powerful!
Wang Chong tried his best to calm his breathing. The more urgent the situation was, the more important it was to not panic. Wang Chong was well aware of how grim his situation was. The Tianfu Divine Lord was unbelievably powerful, and the slightest mistake while fighting him would lead to death.
”Heh, killing the Goat, Deer, and Tiger, and forcing this god to personally come and kill you is already quite decent! Alas, you still must die.”
The Tianfu Divine Lord's body was floating in the air, his robes drifting in the wind, and there was a smirk on his face. As he spoke, light and shadow twisted around him, coalescing once more into that massive, glassy star.
At this moment, Wang Chong suddenly realized that the star that had earlier been manifested had not disappeared.
Wang Chong seemed to realize something, but he still wasn't too sure.
Swish!
On the other end, the Tianfu Divine Lord attacked again.
Wang Chong was mentally prepared this time. The Tianfu Divine Lord had just vanished like he was an illusion when Wang Chong jumped forward, using the Greater Void Step to disappear. Boom! There was a metallic clattering as Wang Chong's Stellar Energy erupted from his body. This time, Wang Chong had decided to use the fortress-like Origin Barrier.
Wang Chong had relied on the Origin Barrier to block the attacks of nearly one hundred men in black. Not only had he emerged entirely unharmed, he had been able to knock back all his foes.
”It's useless! My Southern Dipper Star Awl is unstoppable and can pierce through all the defensive arts and Stellar Energy techniques in the world!” the Tianfu Divine Lord said coldly. A moment later, there was a sharp whistle as the awl's tip tore through the Origin Barrier like it was made of paper.
”Ah!”
Wang Chong called out in alarm, his body staggering out of the void. And on the Tiandu point on his back, a third crystalline awl had been thrust.
In front of the Tianfu Divine Lord's supreme advantage in speed, all of Wang Chong's struggles were meaningless. He had not been able to dodge these Star Awls even once.
To think that not even the Origin barrier could block his Star Awl…!
Cold sweat streaked down Wang Chong's forehead as intense pain tore at his nerves. Even worse was that with the penetration of the third awl, Wang Chong could see the Origin barrier around him dimming.
He wants to use this method to restrain and weaken my strength!
Wang Chong finally understood what was going on. Whether it was those three Immortals or this Tianfu Divine Lord, they were all afraid of death. While he might have been weaker than the Tianfu Divine Lord, he was still a Subtle realm expert. The Tianfu Divine Lord was planning to weaken Wang Chong first, and then kill him in a single blow. This would prevent any last-ditch struggles.
Understanding this, Wang Chong knew that his situation was not as dangerous as it first seemed. But if he couldn't think of a way to escape this predicament, death was still inevitable. And given the Tianfu Divine Lord's speed, there wasn't much time.
”What? Still thinking of a plan?!”
Seeing that Wang Chong was remaining silent, the Tianfu Divine Lord seemed to understand what he was thinking. Coldly chuckling, he took out the fourth Star Awl, which whistled into the Shanhuan point on Wang Chong's right chest.
Even though Wang Chong was ready, he still failed to dodge it.
The fifth and sixth awls came in quick succession, and one by one, Wang Chong's critical acupuncture points were struck. In short order, Wang Chong was greatly weakened, and it wouldn't be long before he fell from the Subtle realm. Not only that, Wang Chong had noticed that the Tianfu Divine Lord's Star Awls had a special ability that could sever one's connections to the higher dimension from which the energy of the Subtle realm sprung.
At the start, Wang Chong had been able to pull energy from this higher dimension, but now, Wang Chong felt as if there was a thin gauze between him and that dimension that loosened his connection.
The situation was getting worse and worse. Once he fell out of the Subtle realm, the Tianfu Divine Lord would deal the fatal blow.
What do I do? If this continues, I'm finished!
The intense pain continued to tear away at Wang Chong, and his clothes were damp with sweat. But Wang Chong remained calm and collected, his mind moving at one hundred times its normal speed.
Every martial art has a flaw. There's no such thing as an invincible art. As long as I can find the flaw in his art, I can find his true self and defeat him!
As Wang Chong's mind turned, he subconsciously glanced at the walls of the residence.
