Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5397 Fighting Ye Linfeng

Ye Linfeng’s attack cas a translucent blade of energy, streaking through the air so quickly that it was nearly invisible. Those watching felt an involuntary stab of pain in their souls, as if the blade were tearing them apart from within.

The blade of energy instantly reached Long Chen’s head, but Long Chen didn’t move at all. Many experts cried out in shock as they saw it pierce his head. Tang Wan-er’s heart skipped a beat in fear. The blade seemed to go right through Long Chen’s skull.

But to everyone’s astonishment, Long Chen was completely fine.

BOOM!

Just then, the blade of energy continued past Long Chen’s head and suddenly exploded, blasting a giant hole in the wall of the heavens.

“What?” The crowd flinched. This was no illusion or fake attack. The sword had unleashed real, destructive power, which only dissipated after flying too far and succumbing to spatial resistance.

However, this fact left people dumbfounded. Just what was going on? If it was not a fake attack, why did it pass through Long Chen’s head without harming him?

“What just happened?” asked Xiao Yue.

“Long Chen dodged,” replied Tang Wan-er calmly.

“No, big brother Long Chen didn’t move...” Xiao Yue insisted, still puzzled.

“He did,” Tang Wan-er explained. “He moved so quickly and with such precision that to us, it looked like he hadn’t moved at all.”

Tang Wan-er herself had been stunned at first and was forced to piece the scenes together. It wasn’t just a matter of speed—Long Chen had likely manipulated spatial energy, making the dodge so seamless that it defied the spectators’ understanding.

“Three moves, right? Does that count as the first one?” asked Long Chen indifferently.

A faint starlight glinted in his eyes as his meridians finished warming up.

“If you want it to. In any case, it’ll only takeone move to kill you,” replied Ye Linfeng.

Though surprised by how Long Chen dodged his attack, Ye Linfeng didn’t care. He had absolute confidence in himself.

“Then letsee what that move looks like,” taunted Long Chen.

Long Chen slowly shook his head and stretched his shoulders, cracking his back. After the warm-up, his astral energy flew smoother than ever. It could reach every part of his body with a single thought.

Without warning, Long Chen moved—and almost simultaneously, another image of him appeared before Ye Linfeng. Startled cries erupted as spectators saw what seemed to be two Long Chens at once.

“It’s an afterimage!” exclaimed one of the bystanders.

In the blink of an eye, Long Chen’s fist skyrocketed at Ye Linfeng, leaving a silver arc as it moved through the air. Long Chen was as quick as lightning, his speed almost equivalent to Ye Linfeng’s earlier attack. By the tpeople reacted, Long Chen’s fist was mere inches from Ye Linfeng’s face.

BOOM!

The impact shook the heavens, and the world seemed to darken as the clash distorted the laws of ten thousand Daos. The onlookers felt a terrifying pressure grip their hearts, as though a hand were squeezing the life out of them. Many felt on the verge of spitting out blood.

Long Chen and Ye Linfeng’s power was incredibly condensed. Even without unleashing any qi waves or astral winds, their attacks almost injured the onlookers. They could now see that Long Chen’s fist had struck Ye Linfeng’s arm. The clash blew their hair back, and their powerful auras exploded into the sky.

“He blocked it!” murmured someone in awe.

When Ye Linfeng had attacked, Long Chen effortlessly dodged. Now, as Long Chen countered, Ye Linfeng matched his move, deflecting it with equal ease.

The spectators instinctively put themselves in the fighters’ shoes, considering how they might handle such techniques or block such attacks. But in the end, they knew there was only one outcfor them: instant defeat. The fighters moved so fast that there was no way the spectators could react in time.

Long Chen and Ye Linfeng remained locked in place, each trying to overpower the other. When their gazes met, their fighting spirits rose. Both sensed they had met a worthy opponent, and their fighting spirits surged. At that moment, their powers started to climb even higher, wild and unrestrained.

Long Chen’s starry sea swirled with increasing intensity, his aura roaring forth like a tidal wave. In response, Ye Linfeng’s Heavenly Fate Disk summoned a ring of ten thousand halos that ignited one by one, each ignition unleashing a volcanic surge of energy.

BOOM!

The ground beneath their feet collapsed and transformed into dust. A split second later, the void itself seemed to detonate, forming web-like cracks across the air, and the sky trembled as if about to shatter like fragile porcelain.

“Soft wind!” Tang Wan-er shouted, and the Hidden Dragon Legion immediately executed her order.

Just then, a strange sound rang out, and a wave of light exploded between Long Chen and Ye Linfeng. The shockwave expanded rapidly, shredding through space and crushing Grand Dao runes as it radiated outward.

“Run!”

Startled cries filled the air as the wave of death surged forward, catching those too slow to react. Even retreating to a safer distance was futile for many; by the tthey realized the danger, the ripple of light had already reached them, twisting space around them. Sfound themselves running in place, unable to escape, before the deadly wave consumed them, reducing them to blood mist.

Meanwhile, Long Chen and Ye Linfeng’s powers continued to escalate, their clash sending shockwaves rippling out in every direction, shaking the world itself.

Tang Wan-er and the others were in a defensive formation, like a boat floating on top of a furious sea. While they were flung away by the waves and thrown through the air, they were completely safe.

Others were not as fortunate. Weaker cultivators perished immediately in the first wave, while even the stronger ones staggered back, coughing up blood as they scrambled further away, barely holding on.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted as a violent ripple struck the Wind Domain Battlefield’s barrier. The barrier shattered into countless runes, and new layers of barriers appeared, only to be broken one after another. Amid the chaos, Tang Wan-er and her sisters caught glimpses of Ye Lingkong and the old fuckers outside the barrier.

Ye Lingkong also saw what was happening inside, and he was stunned. He had anticipated a fierce battle within, but he hadn’t expected it to escalate so quickly. That was too fast.

The Brahma Pill Valley elders and other faction leaders watching from afar were both furious and horrified as they witnessed their disciples being annihilated in the wake of the deadly shockwaves.

BOOM!

Finally, Long Chen and Ye Linfeng fell back. Tang Wan-er and her group were left speechless, their gaze fixed on Ye Linfeng.
