Chapter 18

[Your Floating Cloud Steps meet the upgrade conditions and reach Extreme State]

[Floating Cloud Steps (Extreme State)]

[Effect: The body is like a floating cloud and can walk in the air]

"The Floating Cloud Step has reached an extreme state. This time I should be able to get close to the Foundation Establishment Stage Magic Corpse."

Su Chen stood up and skillfully pushed open the heavy bronze door, just like he was going home.

As they had fought each other hundreds of times, he had skipped the greeting process with Ye Chenglin. The moment he opened the bronze door, he rushed towards Ye Chenglin with all his strength.

Sneak attack? Go all out; this is respect for a strong enemy!

Seeing this, Ye Chenglin, just like the previous 130 times, started to draw talismans in the air after a brief silence.

"left..."

He whispered as he turned quickly.

The next second, a thunder talisman appeared in the air on his left and passed by him.

"Up there…"

He bent down suddenly and passed by close to the ground. At the same time he bent down, another thunder talisman turned into thunder and rushed through him.

After dodging the second thunder talisman, he did not rush forward but jumped high.

"below..."

Just as he took off into the air, the ground beneath his feet suddenly softened into a muddy swamp. If he had reacted a little slower, he would have lost his balance and been at the mercy of others.

Ye Chenglin raised his head and met his eyes in the air not far away. And in Ye Chenglin's eyes, he saw a look he had never seen before. This look... is one of astonishment.

It was obvious that Ye Chenglin did not expect that Su Chen, a mere Qi gathering stage cultivator, could dodge his thunder talismans one after another. And every time it seems as if he can predict the future.

Although Ye Chenglin couldn't figure it out, he was too lazy to think about it anymore. His only remaining right arm turned into an afterimage, and in a short period, he drew dozens of thunder talismans.

After these thunder talismans appeared, they turned into black thunder and flew towards him.

Su Chen, who has not yet reached the foundation-building stage, cannot fly with a sword for the time being. But he currently does have the ability to move in the air.

Floating Cloud Steps!

Su Chen stepped into the air, and the invisible air immediately rippled like water waves. With the help of this reaction force, he kept moving in the air, shuttling between the thunder talismans.

Not long after, he, who had never been able to get close to Ye Chenglin, actually came closer to Ye Chenglin.

Su Chen held the magic sword in one hand and looked calmly at Ye Chenglin below.

"This time, it's my turn to play."

Sword technique...Water Dragon Roar!

Clang!

The crisp sound of swords resounded throughout the underground tomb cave, and the sharp sword light broke through the sky and went straight to Ye Chenglin's face.

The resounding sound of the sword at this moment carried an indescribable sense of oppression, as if a real dragon had descended with such tremendous momentum.

Su Chen originally thought that Ye Chenglin would retreat after seeing this attack. But in fact, he just stood there calmly, then stretched out one hand.

Bang!

With a burst of air explosions, his full-strength sword was caught by Ye Chenglin. The hard feeling that bounced back from the sword made him feel that he was not hitting a mortal body but a piece of hard, refined iron.

One hand can block my Perfection Level Water Dragon Roar; is this the physical strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage Magic Corpse?

Although shocked by Ye Chenglin's physical strength, he still decided in an instant. He suddenly let go of the hilt of the sword, and the spiritual power in his body transformed into ten invisible swords of air, floating in the air and pointed at Ye Chenglin, who was standing in front of him.

Ding ding ding

The extremely sharp sword power hit Ye Chenglin like waves hitting the shore. Apart from a few sparks, it was unable to hurt Ye Chenglin's body at all.

The Water Dragon Roar doesn't work, and neither does transforming Qi into a sword. Ye Chenglin's physical strength was beyond his imagination. It also made him deeply realize how big the gap between the foundation-building stage and the Qi-gathering stage is.

Su Chen fell from the air and looked silently at Ye Chenglin, two meters away. At this point, he doesn't have many options left.

Seeing that Su Chen stopped attacking, Ye Chenglin seemed to have no intention of continuing to play.

He exerted a little force, and the hard sword in his hand was easily crushed into countless metal fragments that floated in the air.

However, during this process, he still noticed the shallow wound on his palm. His sword did eventually cause some damage to Ye Chenglin, so it was not completely ineffective.

Although this injury was nothing to Ye Chenglin, it gave him hope of victory. It also made his originally desperate mood slightly improve.

As long as he can be hurt, there is still hope. Ye Chenglin looked at Su Chen, and a hint of humane admiration appeared on his rotten and horrible face.

"You...are not bad."

Hearing Ye Chenglin's praise for him, he was silent for a moment and then said, "But it's still not enough."

Ye Chenglin slowly walked up to him, looked him in the eye, and said calmly, "What a pity."

"What a pity..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He lowered his head and saw that Ye Chenglin had pierced his chest with one claw and took out his beating heart.

On his deathbed, Su Chen heard Ye Chenglin's last words.

"Unfortunately, it's still a little too weak."

The 131st challenge failed!
