Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 883: Chapter 883: The Battle of the Golden Core (Part 2)

“Eh!”

Just as Wang Chen freed himself, a figure suddenly appeared near his original location.

The man was dressed in a white robe, his expression cold and emotionless, appearing to be in his forties or fifties.

However, a cultivator’s age often did not match their appearance, and one could only broadly judge it by sensing their aura; this one’s aura had astonishingly reached the High-Order Golden Core tier!

He hovered in midair and said to Wang Chen with a deep voice, “I am Lv Hongye, and I have a small matter to discuss with you.”

A small matter? Discuss?

A trace of blue crossed Wang Chen’s face.

A high-ranked Golden Core True Person, actually ambushing him, a mere Primary Tier Golden Core, and having the shamelessness to do so!

“Lv?”

But anger did not cloud Wang Chen’s reasoning, and he immediately sensed something was amiss, “What relation are you to Lv Yanqing?”

“My son, Yanqing, previously acted presumptuously, please forgive him.”

Lv Hongye said calmly, “He has taken a liking to your maid and hopes you will grant his wish.”

He paused, then added, “Consider it a favor owed by the Lv family to you.”

“Ha!”

Wang Chen laughed in anger, “What if I say no?”

The other party clearly held no regard for him, the tone of negotiation, the arrogant demeanor, as if offering up Su Ziling was his honor!

“I spoke kindly to you, out of respect for Jingyun.”

Lv Hongye revealed a cold smile, “Young man, don’t be unappreciative and overestimate yourself!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered, and he disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, the sky changed color, and a fierce wind raged around Wang Chen, with countless sharp Wind Blades sweeping toward him.

This High-Order True Person made his move, once again putting Wang Chen in a highly unfavorable situation.

Every Wind Blade was infused with terrifying power, coming from all directions, sealing off any space Wang Chen had to dodge.

He could not even use “Wanli Free” to break out of it, because facing these Wind Blades head-on was unimaginable!

“Wanli Free” was not omnipotent, and Lv Hongye’s cultivation level was far beyond Wang Chen’s.

This battle between Golden Cores was not what Wang Chen wanted, but he had no choice but to confront this unreasonable and powerful enemy!

“Ha!”

Unable to dodge, Wang Chen swung his palms, confronting the incoming Wind Blades with consecutive strikes.

His palms emitted a faint golden color, his skin bulged slightly, resembling metallic texture.

The robust force of his palms surged out, continuously blocking more than a dozen highly lethal Wind Blades.

Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!

This technique was contained within the sixth tier of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method, only accessible at this level of the Divine Body Refining Technique, a field in which Wang Chen had already reached the seventh tier realm.

Naturally, he could unleash the most potent power of this palm technique!

However, as Wang Chen’s cultivation level had increased, he relied more on spells and magical treasures to achieve victory, seldom resorting to such close-quarters combat.

But in fact, Wang Chen’s strongest skill was still his Body Refinement Techniques!

Using just his bare palms, he had forcefully broken through Lv Hongye’s killer move, creating space for himself to maneuver.

The next moment, Wang Chen stepped forward, instantly escaping several miles away.

Wang Chen was well aware that despite his achieving First Grade of Golden Cores, he was not yet qualified to stand on equal footing with this High-Order Golden Core; continuing the fight would certainly not be advantageous.

A wise man avenges his wrongs at the opportune time, even if it takes ten years. Since he couldn’t compete, Wang Chen wouldn’t risk his life out of stubborn pride!

“Hmm?”

Lv Hongye was once again taken aback.

Although the “Wind Over Myriad Peaks” was not his strongest move, it was more than sufficient to deal with a junior Golden Core cultivator.

Lv Hongye did not intend to kill Wang Chen; he planned to give the latter a painfully unforgettable lesson. As long as Wang Chen kneeled and bowed to him, offering his maidservants obediently, Lv would then mercifully let him go.

But now, Lv Hongye had changed his mind!

A mere Primary Tier Golden Core had managed to block “Wind Over Myriad Peaks” with just his fleshy palm, clearly indicating that his Body Refinement Techniques had reached an exceptionally high level.

Such a brilliantly talented young man, once allowed to grow, would doom the Lv family in the future!

Consequently, Lv Hongye was overcome with the intent to kill.

Wang Chen had to die!

His Divine Sense had firmly locked onto Wang Chen and upon seeing him fleeing, Lv immediately launched a pursuit.

This high-order cultivator also employed “Wanli Free,” his speed and reactions in no way inferior to Wang Chen’s!

Wang Chen, in one breath, executed “Wanli Free” five times, instantly escaping dozens of miles away.

However, he was still unable to shake off Lv Hongye.

Like a bone-burrowing maggot, the latter was relentlessly chasing him. If it were not for Wang Chen’s several changes in direction, he might have already been intercepted.

This could not continue!

Wang Chen knew that in the game of cat and mouse, the cat could afford countless mistakes, but the mouse is doomed if it makes even one!

He was now the mouse.

What should he do?

In a moment of lightning-fast thought, Wang Chen reached for a Jade Token.

If it weren’t absolutely necessary, Wang Chen truly did not want to use this item.

This Jade Token was a life-saving treasure given to him by Hu Jiaojiao through the Fox Empress when he left Green Hill after completing his Core Formation!

It was also the token of their Nascent Soul pact.

Wang Chen initially planned to keep it as a keepsake until they could reunite.

However, the current situation was as precarious as a stack of eggs, leaving him no choice but to use this last resort!

“Order!”

Wang Chen crushed the Jade Token in his hand in an instant.

At that moment, Lv Hongye flashed near him, the distance between them merely twenty to thirty steps.

The high-order Golden Core thought Wang Chen had drained his True Yuan and promptly extended his right palm, reaching out through the air towards Wang Chen.

His palm dramatically swelled in the wind, momentarily eclipsing the sky, and descended like a mountain with a terrifying and awe-inspiring oppressive aura!

However, suddenly a massive White Fox materialized behind Wang Chen, it raised its head and shrieked, its long fox tail fiercely whipping forward, striking precisely Lv Hongye’s capturing palm.

Bang!

A blood mist exploded in the air, and Lv Hongye’s right palm was shattered into powder by the fox tail.

The momentum unabated, it then heavily struck the chest of the high-order Golden Core.

A muffled sound was heard, a clear, gleaming Spiritual Light flashing briefly over Lv Hongye’s chest as if something had burst.

The high-order cultivator flew backward like a kite with its string cut, spewing blood wildly, coughing up many fragments of his internal organs.

Before Wang Chen could pursue, Lv Hongye transformed into a stream of light and fled far away, his speed unbelievably fast!

Wang Chen could only watch as he escaped.

Using his trump card had not managed to hold back this high-order Golden Core, leaving him somewhat regretful, but it was an unavoidable situation. How could a figure like Lv Hongye not have his own trump cards!
