NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1003: Enemies on All Sides
Nie Yuan died, his body crushed into minced meat, and a head rolled out, eyes protruding, filled with terror and disbelief.
The onlookers around were also stunned at this moment.
"He actually killed Nie Yuan!"
"It's over, it's over, this guy was too impulsive, he killed Nie Yuan, there's nowhere on heaven or earth for him to hide now!"
The observing Elder Yu and the purple-skirted woman widened their eyes, gasping in shock.
They speculated that Nie Yuan and the Slaughter Blood King had teamed up against others.
But never had they expected.
The Slaughter Blood King was gravely injured, and Nie Yuan met a tragic death on the spot.
"This has pierced the heavens."
Elder Yu sighed.
"Elder, the Slaughter Blood King is severely wounded."
The purple-skirted woman stared at the Slaughter Blood King.
"Act now, take the life of the Slaughter Blood King, only then will the reputation of the Black Dragon Auction House improve."
Elder Yu immediately shouted.
Although at this moment, the Slaughter Blood King seems to be assisting Chen Yu.
But opportunities don't come twice, and once missed, will not come again.
After this incident, the Slaughter Blood King will likely hide again, making him hard to find.
...
In midair.
The Black Bone King and the Slaughter Blood King jointly attacked Chen Yu.
"Die!"
The Black Bone King had a face filled with dark fury.
He had no fondness for Nie Yuan, just a useless talent relying on his father.
But under his protection, Nie Yuan was killed, and no matter what, the Black Bone King was responsible, only by capturing Chen Yu could he reduce his culpability.
The Black Bone King was filled with deep-seated hatred for Chen Yu, striking with deadly moves.
Hiss hiss hiss...
Stretches of pitch-black finger bones, tens of feet long, traversed through the void like massive arrows, exuding a sinister aura of death.
Facing such a strong figure like the Black Bone King, Chen Yu had to tread carefully, not to mention the Slaughter Blood King beside him.
The Slaughter Blood King was also terrified at this moment, to a certain extent, Nie Yuan's death was also linked to him.
Bang!
He controlled a blood bead the size of a baby's fist, continuously shooting at Chen Yu, producing ferocious and brutal blood light storms.
Facing the combined attack of two mid-stage Condensed Star Realm figures, Chen Yu would be in danger without the Golden Mountain Tower.
At this time.
Chen Yu fought while retreating.
Plan two was to cause a big commotion to alert the Qingyun Emperor.
But it was not guaranteed; he still needed to leave himself an escape route.
If things went wrong, he must leave Chaotic Sea City immediately and flee elsewhere.
Suddenly.
Elder Yu and the purple-skirted woman flew in, attacking the Slaughter Blood King.
"Slaughter Blood King, you are exceedingly daring, robbing the goods of the Black Dragon Auction House, today we will capture you."
Elder Yu shouted.
He intended this statement to inform outsiders that he wasn't helping Chen Yu, but indeed had a deep-seated grudge against the Slaughter Blood King.
The Slaughter Blood King looked at Elder Yu and the purple-skirted woman, immediately showing a look of fear and panic.
Elder Yu was mid-stage Condensed Star, and the purple-skirted woman was the peak of early-stage Condensed Star Realm; the crucial point was that the Slaughter Blood King was injured at this moment, definitely not their match, and even his life was at risk.
"Elder Yu, please stop, it was all a misunderstanding before."
The Slaughter Blood King smiled apologetically.
"Misunderstanding? The Slaughter Blood King is truly humorous."
Elder Yu sneered, a black giant stick appearing in his hand, swinging fiercely, stirring a monstrous storm of evil light.
"Elder Yu, this is really a misunderstanding, although I robbed your Black Dragon Auction House, I didn't succeed..."
The Slaughter Blood King wore a bitter expression, slowly recounting the past events.
This matter was extremely shameful, but concerning his life, the Slaughter Blood King couldn't care less.
The participation of Elder Yu and others restrained the Slaughter Blood King, drastically reducing the pressure on Chen Yu.
Single-handedly challenging the Black Bone King, even though the latter was an old mid-stage Condensed Star Realm, with the Golden Mountain Tower, Chen Yu was fearless.
Bang!
Chen Yu slammed his palm against the Golden Mountain Tower, which suddenly expanded during its flight, crushing the Black Bone King's attack with overwhelming power.
In actual combat, Chen Yu's use of the Golden Mountain Tower became increasingly skilled.
"Black Bone Sky-breaking Finger."
The Black Bone King continuously used powerful finger techniques, but was unable to deal with Chen Yu.
One had to admit, that mid-grade Xuan artifact the Golden Mountain Tower, was indeed a huge problem.
But Chen Yu's cultivation was low, unable to fully unleash the power of the Golden Mountain Tower, while his own cultivation was vastly superior, and might offset the advantage the Xuan artifact brought to Chen Yu.
"Black Bone Binding Sky Array."
The Black Bone King raised both hands high, infinite pitch-black ghostly Qi surged into the sky.
At the moment the Golden Mountain Tower came crashing in.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the ghostly dark clouds in the sky, suddenly shot out stretches of white finger bones, each a hundred feet long, numbering nearly a hundred.
The ground white finger bones descended around the Golden Mountain Tower, forming a great array, binding the Golden Mountain Tower.
"Prepare to die!"
The Black Bone King's pale hand stretched out.
His forearm suddenly detached, soaring towards Chen Yu in a claw-shape.
The Black Bone King's hand, enveloped in infinite chilling ghost mist, expanded a hundredfold, pale as a skeletal claw.
Before it even arrived, a terrifying ghostly Qi of evil exploded into Chen Yu's mind.
Fear rose in Chen Yu's heart, his face turning cold.
Star Pattern Robe!
He activated the defensive combat technique of the Star Image Body, starlight erupted from the Star Acupoint, transforming into a star robe draping over his body.
Then, wielding the Burning Sky Demon Halberd, he fiercely stabbed out.
Boom!
The slash of the Burning Sky Demon Halberd landed on the massive skeletal claw, resulting in an astonishing explosion.
The halberd's attack was shattered, ferocious Ghost Path forces pouring towards Chen Yu, but the Star Pattern Robe's defense reduced the damage by eighty percent.
Swish swish!
Chen Yu's figure retreated several dozen feet, his body's energy surging, but he was unharmed.
Swish!
The massive hand shrank back to the Black Bone King's arm.
A tearing pain emanated from his palm, causing the Black Bone King some anger.
At this moment.
Two pillars of the utmost steel and fiery blood flame dispelled the sinister ghostly aura, stabbing toward the Black Bone King.
The quality of the [Blood Crystal Flame] improved after devouring the flame essence crystal, and the Black Bone King did not dare to underestimate it.
Bang! Bang!
The Black Bone King struck out with both palms consecutively, blasting the blood flame pillars apart, shattering them both.
However, his palms were injured, charred black, with a burning sensation.
Suddenly.
Chen Yu advanced, fiercely smashing with both fists, two massive white streams of light streaking across the night sky.
The Black Bone King was indeed formidable, but Chen Yu was not afraid.
Once in close quarters, even a seasoned mid-stage Star Condensation master like the Black Bone King would suffer a crushing defeat.
The battle drew attention from all directions.
In Chaotic Sea City, a densely populated city of cultivators, this battle was extremely captivating.
"Truly surpassing the predecessors, this person at the early stage of Star Condensing can actually wound the Black Bone King, it's a miracle."
"Such a genius is usually a top disciple of the eight great Emperor Sects, or even of the Divine Sect. How come they're appearing in the Chaotic Sea Plain?"
The discussions were intense.
In just a moment, the number of spectators doubled, though most stood at a distance, unwilling to be caught in the fray.
But there were exceptions.
"Black Bone King, I'll aid you."
A cultivator at the early stage of Star Condensing rushed into the battle.
He had once bribed the Black Bone King to do something for him, and now chose to step in to further strengthen their connection.
Soon after, another peak early-stage Star Condensation cultivator charged in.
This person had some prior acquaintance with the Black Bone King.
Not far away.
The Erosion Sun King, having left the auction house, drawn by the battle, observed curiously with a burly man.
"What's going on here?"
The burly man looked at the chaotic scene.
"Nie Yuan is dead."
The Erosion Sun King stared at Nie Yuan's head, taking a deep breath.
Though from a different race, he knew of Nie Yuan from Chaotic Sea City, he didn't expect Nie Yuan to be killed on his own turf, how absurd.
"It's someone from the VIP Pavilion No. 6."
The burly man cast his gaze towards the [Golden Mountain Tower], then shifted it to Chen Yu.
He always thought the mysterious person in VIP Pavilion No. 6 must have powerful background and strength.
As it turns out, the other party was just a young early-stage Star Condensing cultivator.
Yet, it was such a young early-stage Star Condensing cultivator who killed Nie Yuan in Chaotic Sea City, truly audacious!
"It's this person who snatched my Holy Fire Fruit and your [Golden Mountain Tower]."
The Erosion Sun King seemed to foresee Chen Yu's imminent death, feeling somewhat relieved.
"Just an early-stage Star Condensing! Damn it, how did he get so many Primordial Stones?"
The burly man was indignant, feeling he deserved the [Golden Mountain Tower].
Zoom!
The burly man shot out, nearing the battlefield of Chen Yu and the Black Bone King.
"Brother Lou, what are you doing?"
The Erosion Sun King shouted.
"Hehe, kill him, take the [Golden Mountain Tower], and then we flee."
The burly man sneered via sound transmission.
Since Chen Yu killed Nie Yuan, even if he killed Chen Yu, the human experts from the Chaotic Sea City Lord Mansion wouldn't pursue him, and might even feel grateful.
On the other side.
Elder Yu and the Slaughter Blood King and others, surprisingly resolved their grievances, choosing to attack Chen Yu.
"Never expected, the one who stole from the Black Dragon Auction House was you, kid."
"I, representing the Black Dragon Auction House, am here to reclaim what belongs to us."
Elder Yu shouted, swinging out his long staff, darkening the skies.
"Chen Yu, prepare to die at my hands!"
The Slaughter Blood King roared angrily, his body covered in wounds.
Although he convinced Elder Yu and the purple-skirted woman, in their brief exchange, he was clearly outmatched, and severely injured.
Rumble!
From all directions, powerful figures surged in.
The Black Bone King, the Slaughter Blood King, two from the Black Dragon Auction House, the burly man disguised as human, and the king aiding the Black Bone King with resources.
At this moment, Chen Yu was surrounded by foes on all sides!
The crowd seemingly envisioned his imminent tragic death, and the partitioning of benefits by the mighty.
"Indeed, plan B poses quite a challenge."
Chen Yu shook his head and sighed.
The current situation harbored immense risks.
With a resolute look, he retrieved and swallowed two stalks of precious materials from his storage space.
These two rare materials were cultivation resources he acquired at the Lingfeng Auction House, capable of enhancing cultivation levels.
"Star Rainbow Purple Essence Grass, Heavenly Essence Flower, is this kid trying to break through?"
The burly man recognized the precious herbs Chen Yu consumed, standing stunned.
"Haha, he's desperate, that's why he's resorting to such a plan. But at the level of Condensed Star Realm, how can breakthroughs happen at will?"
The Slaughter Blood King sneered repeatedly.
"Oh, is that so?"
Chen Yu smirked slightly.
His cultivation was already on the verge of a breakthrough.
At this intense moment, his potential was further squeezed.
At the same time.
He stimulated the power of his heart to accelerate the absorption of the medicinal effects.
A faint mist and purple haze arose from Chen Yu's body, the direct result of the herbs' effects.
The next moment, a massive vortex emanated from him, consuming the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from all directions.
The momentum exuding from Chen Yu gradually escalated, his eyes gleaming sharply.
"Not good, he's going to breakthrough!"
The Black Bone King was astonishingly aware that the aura within Chen Yu's body rapidly strengthened, reaching a critical point and was about to surpass it!
Boom!
Starlight burst forth from Chen Yu's body, radiantly bright, illuminating the surroundings like a deity.
"He broke through!"
The Slaughter Blood King's heart skipped a beat, staring dumbfounded.
This was too fast, he went straight to a breakthrough just like that.
