The arm bracers shone with divine light, and a strange roar rang out, shaking peopleâs ears. A fierce and wild aura then erupted.
BOOM!
The earth collapsed and Long Chen was sent flying.
Long Chen took seven steps in the air before stabilizing. A trace of shock appeared in his eyes.
âThe soul essence of an ancient beast? Thatâs good stuff.â
Those arm bracers were priceless treasures that had the soul essence of an ancient beast sealed in them. It had even been subdued, and with essence blood, it could be awakened for immense power.
âLong Chen, these arm bracers are priceless treasures of my Chu family. For you to die in front of them is your glory. Face your death!â Chu Ganâs arms shone as he charged at Long Chen, taking the initiative to counterattack.
Long Chen sneered, âDo you think you can control its power with your weak body?â
Just like that, Long Chen spread his fingers. That arm became covered in scales and reached for Chu Ganâs fist. When the fist and palm collided, the anticipated explosion didnât occur, and there was only a muffled bang.
However, Chu Ganâs expression completely changed. He was shocked to find that the power of his bracers had vanished like a stone falling into a sea. Long Chen had actually absorbed his power.
He tried to pull back, but his fist was caught in Long Chenâs hand. Just at that moment, Long Chenâs foot landed on his armpit.
âAHH!â
Chu Gan screamed miserably as Long Chen crushed his bones and forcibly tore off his arm.
âWhat?!â
This sudden change caused everyone to jump. Just as they thought that Chu Ganâs activated Treasure items would put Long Chen at a disadvantage, Long Chen managed to land a heavy blow.
âLong Chenâs power is absolutely terrifying. Heâs actually able to absorb Chu Ganâs power and reverse it on him,â said Luo Xue, her face covered in shock.
She had clearly sensed that when Long Chenâs foot landed, it contained Chu Ganâs aura within it.
In martial study, borrowing power to attack was a very common sight. But the absolute majority of cases of this involved borrowing natural power, or perhaps using special objects like Treasure items to temporarily store the power.
Relying on your own power to reverse your opponentâs power was very rare because such a thing required your own power to be several times greater in order to not be deathly dangerous. Otherwise, the slightest slip would cause your opponentâs power to explode within your own body.
However, Long Chen easily reversed his opponentâs power. That calm and ease with which he did this shocked her. Just how much power did Long Chen have in his body? He was able to endure that power easily.
It wasnât just Luo Xue who saw the clues. Many peak experts also saw just how crazy this was, and it was precisely due to this that they were so shocked.
âThis fellow really is a monster.â Even Bai Shishi was shaken. Clearly, Long Chen didnât want to use his own power because he didnât want to expose his abilities, which was why he had borrowed his opponentsâ power.
After tearing off Chu Ganâs arm, he tossed it into the primal chaos space. As quick as lightning, his palm reached for Chu Ganâs head.
Having just lost an arm, Chu Gan was filled with pain. In the face of Long Chenâs killing blow, he instinctively raised his other arm to block.
As a result, this arm was also ripped off. Long Chenâs voice was like violent thunder as he ripped it off.
Chu Ganâs physical body was tough, but compared to Long Chenâs, there was a definite difference. That was especially true after Chu Gan had just lost an arm. His scattered Blood Qi resulted in his defensive power sharply dropping, so it hadnât required much effort to rip off his other arm.
âNice!â Long Chen tossed this arm into the primal chaos space as well. Just like that, he had obtained two Treasure items. He was a bit moved inside.
With his other arm torn off, Chu Gan felt terror. There was no way for him to condense new arms in a short time. Without his hands, he couldnât activate his tablet to even admit defeat.
Long Chen once more reached out for Chu Ganâs head. After obtaining his bracers, Long Chen no longer had any use for Chu Gan. Although those underpants might be a Treasure item, he wasnât interested in them.
Long Chenâs palm slammed into Chu Ganâs head, but just at that moment, divine light erupted above the head. Long Chenâs palm ended up smashing into that divine light, shattering it.
However, when the divine light shattered, his palm landed on nothing more than air. Chu Gan had vanished.
Long Chen was startled. Chu Gan had lost both of his arms, and his aura was in chaos. There was no way he could activate a magical art or divine ability so quickly in that situation.
Long Chen then looked around. The martial stage had returned to its original appearance. In other words, Chu Gan had admitted defeat and the match was over.
This sudden change caught even Long Chen off guard, so he remained in this posture for a long time. The crowd was silent.
Just as they thought that Chu Gan was about to be slain, such a change had occurred. This result made no sense to them.
Long Chen was sent out just then, and people immediately burst into a discussion. Luo Xue asked him, âWhat happened? He didnât have the power to activate his tablet at that time.â
They had thought that Long Chen had ripped off Chu Ganâs arms to make sure the latter couldnât admit defeat. In truth, Long Chen was more interested in the arm bracers. If Chu Gan was killed, his things would be sent out along with his corpse. Even if he died without a corpse, his things would be returned.
In any case, he had lost his arms. It made no sense for him to be able to still escape. Furthermore, the divine light that had appeared in that last moment to protect him was also inexplicable.
Long Chen muttered to himself for a moment before looking at Luo Qing. âMiss Luo Qing, you should directly admit defeat for your battle with Chu Zhen.â
âWhat?â
Everyone was startled. Luo Xue, Luo Qing, Luo Bing, and Luo Ning in particular didnât believe their ears. How could the Luo familyâs disciples admit defeat to the Chu familyâs disciples?
âDid you notice something?â In the end, it was Luo Xue who was the steadiest and asked the important question.
Long Chen nodded. âIf my guess is correct, those four fellows of the Chu family have a strange method of combining forces that isnât restricted by the martial stageâs formation. Just now, Chu Gan was saved by them.â
âBut⌠how is that possible?!â People stared at him in disbelief.
