Chapter 1816: Chen Ling VS Bai Qi

Chen Ling VS Bai Qi

Chen Ling's voice was grim and terrifying.

Bai Qi looked at him coldly. With a forceful pull, his figure broke free from the rock layer on its own, landing heavily on the ground... Under the enhancement of Blood Raiment, his originally twisted and deformed back rapidly bulged up, and the bones returning to their places emitted crackling sounds.

"I didn't expect you to actually be arrogant to this degree..." Bai Qi gripped his sword with one hand, the black ribbons between his armor dancing silently in the swirling Killing Intent.

"Forcefully resisting the Killing Intent of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path while simultaneously battling me here?"

"Truly... courting death."

Bai Qi's figure was like a black swimming dragon. In an instant, he swept an arc through the shattered deep pit, and a sword energy covering the entire deep pit poured out!

Just now, Bai Qi had used this exact sword strike to instantly kill a million Slaughter Projections. And now, the target of this sword strike had become Chen Ling.

Not only that, it was as if Bai Qi had timed it perfectly. The instant this sword struck out, the Killing Intent of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path also landed on Chen Ling at the same time, shredding his figure into blood mist!

Having just completed a Negation, Chen Ling simply didn't have time to Negate this sword strike as well. He could only find a way to take this sword head-on, clashing head-to-head with Bai Qi.

Swish.

In the instant Bai Qi's sword was about to decapitate Chen Ling, Chen Ling swung his knife. The extreme destructive thread condensed from [Wall-Breaking] slashed out from the blade, colliding with Bai Qi's sword edge!

In the next moment,

A visible shockwave swept out with the two of them at the center, and the earth of the Million-Man Pit cracked rapidly amidst a booming sound!

Boom——!!!

Just the aftershocks of this knife and sword shattered the earth into countless crushed stones and dust. They soared into the sky, directly obscuring the one red and one black figure within as well.

The two afterimages swam rapidly, churning the flying sea of dust into one massive whirlpool after another.

"The fact that you were able to forcefully resist the Military Path Killing Intent to get here indeed surprises me a lot..."

"But, how much longer can you hold on?"

Bai Qi's voice rang out faintly.

Chen Ling's figure was constantly permeated with blood mist. Those were the remnants of being shredded by Killing Intent and forcefully Negated every second... For every second he was here, he needed to consume a massive amount of Spiritual Power to perform Negation. Should there be any mistake or if his Spiritual Power ran out, he would directly suffer heavy injuries.

And in front of a powerhouse at Bai Qi's level, even a momentary mistake meant death on the spot.

"You can try." Chen Ling responded coldly.

He held the Bone-Stripping Knife in one hand, while his other hand Reshaped a pitch-black Handgun from the earth. The muzzle aimed at Bai Qi, who was dancing and swimming in the dust, and pulled the trigger repeatedly!

Bang bang bang——

With every gunshot, the Rank 8 [Judgment Court] would use its extreme single-target destructive capability to seal off Bai Qi's path. Invisible bullets brushed past the other party's figure and blasted into the earth, instantly melting deep pits with a radius of tens of meters.

But even Chen Ling was unable to keep up with Bai Qi's speed. As a cloud of dust was churned up, Bai Qi's figure had already disappeared without a trace.

Chen Ling's gaze condensed.

He unleashed a Thought Storm without hesitation, sweeping in all directions. At the same time, a figure holding a sword slashing out from within the dust froze slightly.

It was this brief pause that gave Chen Ling the chance to react, abruptly raising the Bone-Stripping Knife in his hand!

[Selfless Sword]!

[Wall-Breaking]!

The knife and sword collided in the void once again. A large vacuum area was directly blasted out of the surging sea of dust. The Million-Man Pit, which was already extremely large and deep, was battered even deeper amidst the cracking of the earth...

At this moment, the youths still in the tempering area only heard deafening booms coming from the depths of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path, and the ground beneath their feet was shaking violently.

The youths stared blankly in that direction, unable to resist gulping:

"Calamity of Mockery... is it over there?"

"Who is fighting there??"

"Why are we still caring about this? While the Calamity of Mockery hasn't come to cause trouble for us, run quickly!!"

"No matter what, retreat back to the ship first! Let's go!!"

"..."

Amidst the deafening aftershocks of the battle, the youths fled out of the ancient vault in terror.

In the Million-Man Pit in the deepest part of the ancient vault, the battle between the two figures grew increasingly white-hot...

"Your movements have slowed down." Sensing Chen Ling's every action, Bai Qi spoke calmly. "If I didn't guess wrong... your Spiritual Power should be almost depleted by now, right?"

Chen Ling, whose entire body was wreathed in blood mist, didn't speak. After slashing out with a knife, his figure was once again blasted to pieces by the Killing Intent of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path. After a forced Negation, his face grew even paler.

"It's enough to kill you."

Chen Ling said this coldly. In the next moment, his entire person seemed to have gone mad. Disregarding the Killing Intent of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path, he charged straight for Bai Qi's face!

Bai Qi was already extremely sensitive to Killing Intent. Catching a change in Chen Ling's gaze, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

He instinctively slashed out with his sword, but in the next second, Chen Ling's Domain directly Negated his movement. This was the first time since the battle began that Chen Ling used the Power of Negation on Bai Qi instead of using it to resist the extreme Killing Intent of the Military Path!

Bai Qi only felt his vision blur, and Chen Ling had easily flashed right in front of his face. All preemptive defense or offense seemed to lose their meaning in front of Chen Ling. A chilling glint of the Bone-Stripping Knife, capable of cutting open everything, swept across the earth!

Bang——!!

The armor on Bai Qi's body blasted open with a bang. Beneath the splashing blood, a wound piercing from his left shoulder to his right ribs was deep enough to expose bone!

With the destructive power of Chen Ling's current [Wall-Breaking], if Bai Qi wasn't a Rank 8 [Asura], with Killing Intent protecting his body and his super strong physical fitness, this single slash would have been enough to cleave him in half... Being able to forcefully take this slash and not even having his bones completely severed was already the limit of humanity.

And at the same time, a terrifying surge of Military Path Killing Intent also blasted onto Chen Ling. Half of his body was directly blown off by this strike. Blood poured like a fountain, and his entire person was in an extremely wretched state.

But even so, Chen Ling still didn't have the intention to stop!

Gritting his teeth, he still didn't plan to use the Power of Negation to deal with the Military Path Killing Intent. Instead, he disregarded everything and continued charging at Bai Qi!

"You madman!!!" Bai Qi growled lowly.

Chen Ling made it clear that he was going to fight him to the bitter end using this method of a Pyrrhic Victory. In Chen Ling's eyes, Bai Qi saw a madness that sought mutual destruction.

Oom——!

Chen Ling once again used the Power of Negation to forcefully suppress Bai Qi's movements. Then, accompanying the Military Path Killing Intent that almost completely obliterated him, he forcefully slashed at Bai Qi with a knife!!
