My gorgeous wife Chapter 2217 - 2185: Zhang Lu Battles Li Chen
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
Zhang Lu is undoubtedly a genius.
And back then, he was quite a remarkable genius, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been discovered by the strong ones in the Heaven Realm and subsequently hunted down relentlessly.
It was precisely because Zhang Lu was so exceptionally talented at the time that the strong ones of that era noticed Zhang Lu’s unique qualities, thus detecting the existence of the Doomsday Beast Soul.
What followed was a brutal chase of life and death.
Unlike the typical strong ones who are eroded by the Doomsday Beast Soul, in a sense, Zhang Lu fused with the Doomsday Beast Soul, rather than the soul fusing with him. Therefore, even though his divine soul carries the aura of the Doomsday Beast Soul, he is still Zhang Lu.
Zhang Shutong was the same.
However, it is apparent that the ancient strong ones did not think so, and this is the real culprit behind the tragedy.
Looking directly at Li Chen, Zhang Lu said softly: "I don’t need your sympathy, I will deal with my matters myself. Today, all I need is a battle. Either you kill me, or I will take revenge on the entire Heaven Realm."
Saying this, Zhang Lu glanced at the Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and the others nearby: "Though they are powerful, if I want to kill, they can’t stop me."
Li Chen’s gaze hardened: "I understand."
"So, you’re really not planning to use a Supreme Treasure?" Zhang Lu looked at Li Chen again and asked.
"No need." Li Chen shook his head calmly.
Beside him, Zhang Shutong couldn’t help but sigh.
Compared to others, he understood his fellow being more.
Though Zhang Lu claimed to be here for revenge, it felt more like he was seeking death.
Li Chen’s strength at the moment is unclear, but even Zhang Shutong had heard of Li Chen’s prowess during the three years he fought against the world two hundred years ago. And now, two hundred years later, with the Starry Universe having entered a new era, Li Chen has become even stronger.
Though Zhang Lu’s fusion with the inheritance has made him countless times stronger than before over the past two hundred years.
But has Li Chen stagnated?
"Then, let’s battle!"
With a low shout, Zhang Lu’s blood-red armor suddenly appeared, covering his entire being, with only his equally blood-red eyes exposed.
This state somewhat resembled when Li Chen activated the Red Moon potential back then, and this blood-red armor was obviously no ordinary thing.
As Zhang Lu shook his single hand, a blood-red long spear exuding cold and evil qi appeared in his hand.
Blood Armor, Blood Spear, this is Asura Blood Emperor, Zhang Lu!
Legend has it that Zhang Lu once wielded a silver armor and silver spear, but through countless slaughters, he dyed them both in blood red, and his escape and survival from the deadly traps of ancient times was earned through sheer force.
Even after so many years, the sinister evil qi hasn’t dissipated, leaving the armor and spear steeped in blood red.
Not only did it not diminish the power of both, but it further elevated Zhang Lu’s fighting spirit.
"Very well."
Seeing Zhang Lu in this state, Li Chen nodded instead. If he had any doubts before, now he could confirm that Zhang Lu at this moment was probably even stronger than the two True Realm beings who once fought him to a draw.
Only such opponents can ignite his fighting spirit.
At Li Chen’s current realm, ordinary strong beings no longer qualify to be his opponents.
"Red Moon."
With a flash of blood light, the Red Moon appeared in Li Chen’s hand.
And on Li Chen’s body, besides the Red Moon, there was nothing else.
For Li Chen, having a blade in hand was already enough.
"Kill!!"
From Zhang Lu’s mouth came a hoarse roar, and his body transformed into a streak of blood-red brilliance, charging abruptly toward Li Chen.
At this moment, numerous Martial Artists watching from the Borderland Realm widened their eyes, fearing to miss any scene.
This was the first time Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign had acted in two hundred years!
Moreover, within the Borderland Realm, there were many strong individuals who had joined in the past two hundred years, some even coming just because of the fame of Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign, yet two hundred years had passed without a chance to witness the presence of the one once hailed as the strongest in the Starry Sky.
But today, they finally had the chance to witness him, even seeing him make a move!
Zhang Lu was very strong, and without such self-confidence, he wouldn’t have come to challenge Li Chen.
Even if there was indeed a notion of seeking an end, he also believed that he was enough to battle Li Chen.
The spear techniques were like meteors, carving long streaks, tearing one mark after another in space.
With these spear marks, they encircled Li Chen completely, while the meteoric long spear launched a fierce onslaught toward Li Chen.
"Clang clang clang clang..."
A series of ripples spread around as the Blood Spear clashed with the Red Moon.
The Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and others furrowed their brows, immediately intervening to protect all those around.
The collision between the two was too terrifying, even a bit of residual impact could be catastrophic for those Martial Artists whose cultivation hadn’t reached this grade yet.
Many strong beings were initially puzzled seeing the Four Great Heavenly Sovereigns simultaneously taking action to block the residual waves.
The clash between the two didn’t seem that intense, was such action necessary?
But when they saw even the Protective Barrier set by the Four Great Heavenly Sovereigns was continuously rippled, and caught sight of some abandoned planets and meteorites around turning to dust under the sweeping ripples, they were startled to comprehend the lurking danger.
After a relentless frenzy of spear techniques, Zhang Lu flipped the long spear, one hand gripping its body, the other pressed against its base, his face cold.
"Divine Skill—Sky Dome Break!"
Amidst the Starry Sky, countless energy particles transformed into the Power of Laws, propelling the blood-red long spear.
Simultaneously, the long spear radiated intense blood light.
Silver light and blood light interwove, turning into a pair of wings on the long spear’s back, transformed into an immensely horrifying penetrating force.
At that moment, the long spear’s entire body exploded with dazzling light as bright as Lieyang, piercing toward Li Chen.
Li Chen remained calm, retreating several steps, his surroundings swept by Law-Infused Blades, directly tearing apart the spear marks enveloping him, this was the blade light of Wind Roar.
After two hundred years of fusion, many tricks, Li Chen no longer needed to prepare in advance.
Many a time, a moment of preparation might be seized by the opponent to exploit a flaw.
The stronger the combat between strong beings, the truer this is.
Facing the piercing spear coming toward him, Li Chen didn’t confront it with Red Moon head-on, instead he carried Red Moon behind him, extending a finger to point.
"Cease Spear!"
Because he already possessed the Divine Ability of Space-Time, Li Chen didn’t let Cease Spear tread the path of Divine Ability of Space-Time. Over the years, through honing, Cease Spear has transformed into another form of unique divine skill.
When Cease Spear emerges, all spears cease.
The long spear bursting with radiant light was forcibly suspended in place by a single finger from Li Chen.
