Chapter 990: The Line Between Victory and Defeat
Chen Chuanben was moving forward, but suddenly he felt a repulsive force pushing him out.
This force not only came from the opposite side, but also from himself. The two huge sky-like force fields were actually swirling around each other at this moment. The harder he exerted, the faster he would separate from the enemy.
If he withdraws the force field, the overall strength may be insufficient, so he cannot restrain the opponent at this point and can only let the opponent withdraw.
This time, Zhao Zhenye relied purely on his own skills and combat intuition. He used only the characteristics of his punch to break Chen Chuan's previous efforts. However, his ability to capture the opportunity and the exquisite use of strength were extremely amazing.
Chen Chuan stared at the opponent who was gradually moving away. Although the opponent did take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but... he stretched out his hand, grabbed the Xuejun Sword that was still in the air, and slashed it straight ahead!
In an instant, a bright light flashed across.
Even though he was repelled by the force, he had the Xuejun Knife in his hand, which just made up the distance at the moment. He swung the knife, and Zhao Zhenye was just within the reach of the blade!
He didn't know that the other party could use the characteristics of the Great Sky Style to make such a change, but in the simulation, he foresaw such a possibility, so he made arrangements for the attack in advance, and even had more than one backup plan.
For Zhao Zhenye, this battle was an encounter. The opponent was opaque, but for him, it was a prepared surprise attack based on certain information he had learned in advance!
Zhao Zhenye had just pushed and repelled each other, but no matter how perfect the timing of the attack was, or how exquisite the force was, he had used a certain amount of strength. At this moment, he was in a state of emptiness after the force was gone, and he still had not had enough breathing space to adjust. When the knife light fell, he could only raise his elbow and mobilize the spiritual fire that had not yet been replenished in his body to resist. When the two sides collided, light and fire flew, and the light that had been weakened several times was shattered again.
What's more crucial is that even though he made a brilliant break, he still couldn't break away from Chen Chuan's attack rhythm, and the fundamental situation didn't improve. At this moment, Chen Chuan chopped him down again.
He had no choice but to retreat and block at the same time, but his spiritual fire was constantly weakened when he was fighting with his bare hands. Now that he was fighting with his bare hands against weapons, the momentum of his spiritual fire faded even faster.
After several more strikes, the two sides' external figures on top collided with each other, and countless spiritual lights scattered down from above. After repeated collisions and weakening, only a thin layer of spiritual fire remained on his body.
Judging from the situation, he has been forced into a situation where he can no longer continue. With three or four more strikes, the spirit above may be able to completely break his layer of protection before experiencing another collision.
But at this moment, when the silver-white light seemed to be going out, a spiritual fire suddenly fell from the spiritual image above like a waterfall. The spiritual light and fire that had already fallen into a low state suddenly became bright again after this help!
The spiritual form is originally one with the self, and after reaching the realm of Changshengguan and connecting to the sky bridge, the two are almost indistinguishable from each other. Although he cannot mobilize the internal power, he can borrow some of the spiritual fire that already exists in the spiritual form.
Although his spiritual form was also restrained by the spiritual form on the opposite side, he could feel that the pressure Chen Chuan could exert on the spiritual form was far less than that of the main body. There should be no consistency between the two, and the strengths could be said to be uneven. In this way, the power of the spiritual form could be drawn over first. Even if the spiritual form above was temporarily out of strength, it would not be unable to hold on within a few moves.
This period of time is enough for them to exchange dozens of moves. Once he regains his rhythm, he can return in time and make up for the above losses before Lingxiang can no longer hold on.
With his excellent observation skills and combat intuition, he once again found a loophole in a seemingly impeccable situation and reversed the situation that was impossible to reverse!
When Chen Chuan saw this scene, a light flashed in his eyes. He did not show any frustration at this moment, nor did he relax his offensive. He continued to kill with a sword.
Even if the opponent has recovered the protection of the spiritual fire, he is still in his rhythm at the moment, and it is just another fight!
Zhao Zhenye was replenished, but it was not as simple as simply recovering strength. This meant that he had sufficient defense and did not have to pay special attention to a particular attack. He could take advantage of this gap to draw out more power from inside his body.
He couldn't do this just now because he was restricted when he started fighting. Now he would not do so again, but just when he wanted to do so, a buzzing sound came from the sea below.
However, it was the heart-knocking pillar thrown below that made a sound at this time. As long as a spiritual imprint was left on this thing and it was within a certain range, it could be activated by just calling out in the heart.
Since Chen Chuan had drawn up a plan to defeat the enemy, how could he not take his own weaknesses into consideration? Some things were meant to be used at such critical moments. He had to ensure absolute dominance over his opponent.
Zhao Zhenye narrowed his eyes slightly under his bangs. Just now, when he saw Chen Chuan coming over with the familiar box, he had guessed in his heart that the latter might have met Mr. Zhuan and brought the Heart-Knocking Pillar with him. However, this thing had a loophole, which was that it must ensure that the body could feel it in order to work. At this moment, he was spreading outside the field and noticed some movements first.
So he quickly retreated. As long as he ensured that his speed was faster than the transmission of the sound, he would naturally avoid its effect after reaching a certain distance, and then he could still dispatch his strength calmly.
Chen Chuan immediately followed with his knife, a flash of blade slashing across his face. It looked like the same move as before, and Zhao Zhenye was about to block it, but as he moved his body, something seemed to affect him. His body and the spirit above him faltered slightly.
At this time, Chen Chuan used another lost item - the Cold Claw!
The effect of this lost object is to hinder the fighter's movements. He knew that relying solely on the Heart-Knocking Pillar would hardly affect Zhao Zhenye again after he suffered a loss once, so he used this object to cooperate.
The effect of the Cold Claw on Changshengguan fighters like Zhao Zhenye is actually limited. If used alone, it may not be of much use. However, in such a high-intensity confrontation, both sides cannot allow any mistakes. A slight delay or lag may result in a fatal flaw.
But he was well prepared, and a knife came down on his head in an instant. Zhao Zhenye's posture, which should have been in place, slowed down at this moment, resulting in insufficient angle and strength to block. The knife hit his body directly, causing his body to shake violently, and his retreat was doubly hindered. The next few knives followed swiftly and relentlessly, which made him stop there.
At this moment, the sound from the pier finally arrived, brushing past the two of them, but this time the effect was only to make both of them lose their hearing. This was nothing to either of them, and it could be said that it had almost no effect at all.
Chen Chuan had considered this situation in advance. He could not control the effect of the heart-knocking punch, so it was not feasible to completely rely on it to decide the outcome, because it was entirely a gamble on luck.
Fortunately, there is more than one fallen object on the scene at this moment, and the effect of the cold claws is not instantaneous, but will have a continuous impact.
However, the opponent is a fighter at the Changshengguan realm, so this time may not be too long. He must completely suppress the opponent at this moment and wait for the next sound of the heart-knocking pier to arrive.
Zhao Zhenye had enough support from the spiritual fire. Even though he hadn't been able to turn over at this moment, he was able to resist for a while. The effect of the cold claws did exist, but he was adapting to it very quickly.
But at this moment, a problem arose that he could not ignore.
Because the spiritual image above had withdrawn some of the spiritual fire, it was inevitably at a disadvantage in the frontal fight. Although it could also use the force-unloading technique, the gap caused by the withdrawal of the spiritual fire could not be filled in time. In the fierce fight, it would become weaker and weaker, so both sides were in a dilemma for a while.
Chen Chuan also felt it at this moment. At this point, the chance of victory had already appeared. His momentum naturally became stronger and stronger, and every sword he struck would shock the opponent.
After several more slashes, the spirit image above Zhao Zhenye became shaky in the collision, and he himself was oppressed and had no way to escape.
The sound of knocking on the heart pier sounded again at this moment, and this time it took away the vision of two people.
Chen Chuan said that there is a second me here, and Zhao Zhenye inevitably forgot the perception of his eyes. Even the spiritual image above was inevitably plunged into darkness.
However, in addition to the five senses, fighters also have spirit and field, so this impact is actually not that big.
Chen Chuan was not affected by the unsatisfactory results. Since it still didn't work this time, he would wait another time. The key point was that after continuous attacks, the spiritual fire that Zhao Zhenye replenished was weakened again.
Zhao Zhenye sensed the danger. He had not expected that Chen Chuan could force him to this point. The previous two heart-knocking attacks had not had much impact on him, but this was an extremely dangerous and uncertain thing. If he forgot the spiritual fire next time, he would be defeated in an instant.
During the resistance, he tried several times to use the power of the Great Sky to push each other away in order to get rid of it. However, after learning a lesson from him, Chen Chuan never gave him the corresponding opportunity again. If he was on the offensive, he could still force it, but if he was on the defensive, it was almost impossible to do it.
It seemed that he had no chance of recovering from the defeat, but at this moment he suddenly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light in them.
The forgotten eyes returned.
He raised his hand to block the knife light. Although his body inevitably trembled, the impact he suffered was not that great this time.
What he mastered was the "Fuming Jin", one of the three secrets of the Pure School. Just now, his spirit image and himself had been hit by so many powerful attacks from the opponent that he had gradually become familiar with and adapted to it. In a while, it would lose its effect on him.
