Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 238

"You dare keep glaring at me! I'll smash you!"

Wilde roared, his immense, spiked club smashing down on the emaciated man . That terrifying power made the air explode .

That emaciated man was horrified . His soul art was his most powerful attack, and he was almost unrivalled amongst the same level . But Wilde wasn't affected at all .

Space shook as that club smashed down like a mountain . That terrifying pressure told the emaciated man that this wasn't a hallucination, and he hastily fell back .

He was a Corrupt core disciple with a powerful cultivation base . His strange footwork allowed him to escape in an extremely bizarre manner . No one was able to see just how he had done it .

After dodging that attack, he put away his soul-attracting banner . Since soul attacks were useless against Wilde, he could only use a different move .

Just as he was about to take out a new weapon, the land suddenly shook . The emaciated man hadn't expected that even though he had already dodged, Wilde's attack still landed on the ground .

Cultivators would definitely not do something like that . No matter who it was, they would always leave a little bit of energy in reserve when attacking .

If they ended up missing, they would have the power to change the attack . But Wilde wasn't acting at all like a cultivator . He hadn't restrained his power at all, and his club had smashed into the earth .

That strike was too vicious . The land caved in, and the terrifying power caused the surrounding people to fly into the air, including that core disciple .

Even the distant monastery disciples stumbled and reeled from the shaking, almost falling to the ground . The Corrupt disciples who were closer were stumbling and flying through the air .

The emaciated man was horrified . It would be impossible for him to block such power . But as he was filled with shock, Wilde had already come charging out .

"Stop glaring at me!"

Shockingly, Wilde didn't need to take the slightest pause after such a powerful strike . His spiked club once more smashed out . He hadn't been affected by the shaking of the earth at all .

That spiked club was whistling over . The emaciated man was still in mid-air from being flung up, and he was unable to dodge . He was scared witless .

He quickly took out a huge shield and black mist surged out of his body, raising his defences to the limit .

That black mist formed into a barrier around him . It was covered in blood-colored runes . When those runes appeared, a mournful resentment came from it that caused people's hearts to shiver .

"Blood Rune Armor!"

The emaciated man had only just finished setting up his defences when Wilde's club smashed down .

That huge shield was like a flimsy piece of ice, shattering to pieces . In fact, it shattered before the club even touched it from just the wind force around it .

Then when the spiked club landed on that barrier formed from his black mist, people were appalled to see it immediately break apart .

Not only did his barrier break apart, but even the emaciated man within was crushed by Wilde's club, his blood filling the air .

"Nice!" Seeing Wilde defeat a Corrupt core disciple in one attack filled Gu Yang and them with excitement .

On the other hand, Long Chen was feeling a bit of pain . His first thought was that two hundred thousands points had been destroyed just like that .

"Attack all-out! There are still three other core disciples . Whoever wants them better hurry up before they're taken by others . Everyone else just keep fighting steadily!" ordered Long Chen .

Wilde was like a wolf amongst a pack of sheep . He sowed chaos in the midst of the Corrupt disciples' ranks, killing them left and right .

The Corrupt disciples' formations had already been disorganized, so now they were in a complete mess . If Long Chen didn't have misgivings about their strange soul attacks, he would already given the order to cut them all down .

From the very start, he had seen that there were four powerful core disciples . Now that Wilde had killed one, there were only three .

Following Long Chen's order, Tang Wan-er, Ye Zhiqiu, and Gu Yang rushed over to those three core disciples .

"Lei Qianshang, go keep an eye on Gu Yang," quietly said Long Chen .

Lei Qianshang had just stabbed a Corrupt disciple with his thunderforce spear . He knew Gu Yang's soul defences were his fatal weak point . He hastily rushed over closer to Gu Yang .

Both parties were fighting fiercely . But the Xuantian Monastery's disciples' morale was sky-high, and in half the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the majority of the Corrupt disciples had been killed . Less than three hundred of them remained .

"Bring the front troops back to rest . Troops at the back, move forward, five people a squad . Slaughter them!"

With victory in sight, Long Chen brought forward the disciples that had been in the rear . The ones in the vanguard were all the strongest disciples, while the ones at the back were weaker .

In other words, with them constantly pressing the advantage, the only troops fighting had been those top disciples . Those at the back had yet to have a chance . Now that they occupied an absolute superiority, he needed to let those weaker disciples experience battle .

Otherwise the elites would only get stronger, while the weaks would be thrown far off . That kind of result was not beneficial for their total battle power .

As the commander, Long Chen's main duty was to raise the total military strength of these disciples . That wasn't what he had been hoping to do during this trial .

He would prefer to charge out and fight personally, slaughtering the Corrupt disciples as much as he pleased . Unfortunately, he couldn't do that now that he needed to take care of every single person as well as pay attention to the whole battlefield .

His saber was still dancing through the air, constantly cutting through the Corrupt disciples . But his focus covered the entire battlefield .

Tang Wan-er had summoned wind blades all around her, fighting against a Corrupt core disciple with a blood-colored longsword .

Long Chen shook his head, his expression slightly ugly . He angrily shouted, "Wan-er, what are you doing?! This is a battle, not a competition!"

Tang Wan-er's only fighting experience came from the monastery's Faction Competition that was just a contest over flags . She was already too used to that . Even with her strength, she was still being overpowered by that Corrupt core disciple, falling into dangerous moments time and time again . That infuriated Long Chen completely . He had really wasted his previous words .

Tang Wan-er's heart shook . Long Chen rarely became angry . Moreover, he had never become angry with her . But this time she could see he really was infuriated .

Remembering what he had told them previously, she couldn't help blushing in shame . She didn't hold back any longer, and her aura completely exploded out . The wind blades in her hands quickly began to slash down on her opponent .

Ye Zhiqiu was doing much better than Tang Wan-er . Her ices blades danced through the air, the chilling air forcing back her Corrupt core disciple repeatedly . It wouldn't be long before she could kill him .

As for Gu Yang, runes were lit up all over his body . He roared over and over, his fists flying through the air . His Corrupt core disciple was already vomiting blood . Gu Yang's strength went without saying .

Lei Qianshang was constantly killing those ordinary Corrupt disciples, keeping a constant eye on Gu Yang .

There were finally a dozen Corrupt disciples who were unable to bear it . Being massacred by these monastery disciples who seemed more like wolves and tigers had already broken their courage, and they began to fly into the distance .

This was no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre . When they had been massacring others, they had never imagined that this day would come for them .

"You want to run? Do you think that's possible?" An icy smile appeared on Long Chen's mouth!

Tens of arrows flew out . In just an instant, those fleeing Corrupt disciples all let miserable screams as they were pierced .

Everyone looked over in shock to see man with a huge cylindrical-shaped thing on his shoulder . It was over three meters long and a foot in diameter . There were many thin holes on it which were obviously where those arrows had shot out from .

"Hehe, boss, I've finally managed to show off!" excitedly cried Guo Ran .

Back when Long Chen had been about to be sent into exile, he had given Guo Ran a warning . His talent was only ordinary, and he would need to think of an unorthodox method to make himself stronger .

Guo Ran had secluded himself and racked his brain for ideas . He really did not have a single strong point . His aptitude was only ordinary and his Spiritual Strength was also lacking . No completely amazing figures had ever appeared amongst his ancestors and he had no ancestral blood to rely on .

But then, one day, he had gone to the Xuantian pavilion to look over some of their introductions on mechanism and forging arts, and his eyes had lit up .

He greatly enjoyed those kinds of bizarre and crafty things . He had immediately asked Tang Wan-er to lend him a great deal of points to buy those tomes .

There was a saying that every person had their own path to walk . As soon as Guo Ran opened up those tomes, he had immediately become infatuated, spending every day in his immortal cave studying .

An ordinary rapid-fire crossbow didn't possess much power . But Guo Ran had improved on the spring mechanisms in this 'crossbow', making it over ten times stronger than an ordinary crossbow .

But Long Chen was also surprised to see Guo Ran really was devious . He had also made changes to the arrows .

The arrowheads were packed with Yin and Yang sulfur stones . Each arrowhead had one fingernail-sized stone of each type .

Once they encountered resistance, the two stones inside the arrowhead would collide and explode .

Of course, such a small explosion of the sulfur stones would only have a range of less than three inches and the power wasn't so high . From the outside of the body, even a Qi Condensation cultivator wouldn't die .

But those arrows would only meet resistance when they hit; in other words, when they pierced through a person's body . If these sulfur stones exploded within the body, then they even posed a fatal threat to Tendon Transformation experts .

Those dozen Corrupt disciples who had fled were instantly killed, shocking everyone .

Long Chen smiled slightly . That little fellow really did have his own talent . "Show off? How come I don't see anything amazing?"

Guo Ran laughed and didn't take anything from that . Seeing there were more people, he quickly shot out more arrows .

Another seven or eight Corrupt disciples were killed by him, their flesh exploding .

However, some arrows didn't hit their targets, instead exploding on contact with the ground .

"It's a bit wasteful . " Long Chen shook his head .

Each time he would shoot out forty to fifty arrows at once . The ones that missed were all wasted .

"Hehe, no problem . I've already prepared all the materials and I can make more at any time . Right now is just the preliminary testing . Later I'll modify them and make them even stronger . I'll become an unprecedented, unsurpassable forging master," proudly boasted Guo Ran .

Currently this was just his first test with them in battle . Having tasted success this time, he no longer even cared about not having a powerful cultivation base .

Other than those core disciples, just how many others were able to do as he had done and kill a dozen Corrupt disciples in one attack?

He also had even more ideas he hadn't tested yet . His success this time filled him with confidence . He saw a new, brilliant future for himself .

"Ten Thousand Chilling Wind!"

Suddenly a cold cry rang out and countless wind blades formed in the sky, cutting apart space .

Blood spattered .
