Chapter 552: 549: Forced Helplessness_1
Now that the God Piercing Nail had lost its usefulness, Yang Chen could only let out a heavy sigh: “It seems I have no choice but to use the Five Thunder Righteous Method.”
Originally, he wasn’t planning to use the Five Thunder Righteous Method in such a hurry, as the current situation was not suitable for its use. Without dealing with the miscellaneous Fire Essence Beasts first, the full power of his Five Thunder Righteous Method could not be unleashed.
If he was only facing a single Fire Essence Beast of Yuan Meng, it would be simple. He could use his Five Thunder Righteous Method without any qualms, and even if he couldn’t kill Yuan Meng, he could still injure him. At that time, any resolution would have been acceptable. However, now, once he played his hidden card, he could either eliminate the miscellaneous Fire Essence Beasts or severely wound Yuan Meng.
But all of these were meaningless. No matter what he did, the Five Thunder Righteous Method was his only way to defeat the Eighth Layer of Elemental Martial Realm at the moment.
Apart from the Five Thunder Righteous Method, he had no other means.
No, to be precise, the Starfire could also be used, but he couldn’t use it.
“There’s no time to think now. I must immediately gather the power of the Five Thunder and blast these miscellaneous Elemental Martial Realm creatures to death first. It’ll be difficult to deal with this Eighth Layer Elemental Martial Realm Fire Essence Beast without killing him first.” Yang Chen murmured in his heart.
With that thought in mind, he quickly began to gather the power of the Heavenly Thunder.
Meanwhile, Yuan Meng in the high altitude of the outside world was also in a hurry, repeatedly trying to use his Shapeshifting Liquid Fire to fight against the Stone Generals summoned by Yang Chen. Unfortunately, the four Stone Generals were perfectly protected, and the unstoppable power of his Shapeshifting Liquid Fire was unable to shake Yang Chen’s Stone Generals’ protection at all.
At the moment when Yuan Meng was at a loss, a Fire Essence Beast flew over, holding Elder Yang’s unconscious body: “Captain, we still have this old man. If Yang Chen doesn’t come out, we’ll kill him. Yang Chen and him are intimately related, aren’t they? Let’s see how Yang Chen chooses.”
Yuan Meng’s eyes lit up: “How could I forget this? Go and threaten Yang Chen with Elder Yang!”
Immediately, the Fire Essence Beast next to him pinched Elder Yang’s body like a chicken and sneered, “Yang Chen, take a good look. If you want your respected Elder Yang to live, come out of the Stone General. Of course, you can also turtle up in there for a lifetime, but in that case, I wouldn’t mind taking Elder Yang’s life, heh heh! I’ll give you five counts to think about it!”
“Five!”
No movement from within the Stone General!
“Four!”
“Three!”
Still no movement from the Stone General!
“Two!”
“One!”
At the moment when this “one” fell, the Stone General loosened, and then Yang Chen stepped out.
The moment the Fire Essence Beast saw Yang Chen come out, it laughed: “Yang Chen, it seems you really care about Elder Yang’s life.”
“Do you know what I hate the most in my life?” Yang Chen’s face was cold as ice, and his tone was like the cold ice from an ice cave.
“What?” The Fire Essence Beast sneered.
Yang Chen said coldly, “It’s when someone threatens me with my family.”
“Hahahaha!”
“Yang Chen, you really know how to joke. Forced to be a shrinking turtle, what’s the point of saying these things now? Your fate is only death.” Yuan Meng said in a deep voice, his words filled with anger and killing intent towards Yang Chen.
It thought Yang Chen was doomed.
But at the next moment, Yang Chen’s hand suddenly squeezed tightly.
Following that, a sudden thunderbolt fell, and the Fire Essence Beast, who was holding Elder Yang’s body, was struck with charred black all over its body and died on the spot.
Yang Chen quickly retrieved Elder Yang’s body with the Shapeshifting Liquid Fire and saved him. Then, he retreated explosively and clenched his fist again. Immediately, the second thunder fell.
Afterwards, the third thunder, the fourth thunder, and the fifth thunder!
Five consecutive thunders fell, and the trees in the Beast Mountain Inner Circle were in a mess, looking like a barren land after a heavenly disaster and earthly calamity. And Yuan Meng, in an almost unbelievable way, watched as the surrounding environment changed; not interested in the changes, it was shocked and furious that the few Fire Essence Beasts it managed to save had also died.
Yang Chen’s Five Thunder Righteous Method, five consecutive thunders, killed one with each strike!
This made Yuan Meng let out an earth-shaking roar that echoed throughout the Beast Mountain Inner Circle.
Its eyes were bloodshot, and as it screamed, it controlled the Transforming Demon Fire to spread out, directly attacking Yang Chen.
Yang Chen felt goosebumps, placed Elder Yang in the Stone General’s protection, and flew out alone, also displaying the Transforming Demon Fire!
However, upon comparison, his Transforming Demon Fire was just too weak. Yang Chen had no choice but to use the Thunderbolt Style. But after using the Five Thunder Righteous Method, the power of his Thunderbolt Style was greatly reduced. Even combined with the Shapeshifting Liquid Fire, he could not make up for the gap in Martial Arts Cultivation!
“I’ll be at a disadvantage if this goes on.” Yang Chen was horrified.
He had never thought that the Eighth Layer Elemental Martial Realm Fire Essence Beast would be this powerful.
Yang Chen knew clearly that he had to be more decisive, and he opened his mouth to let out a loud roar.
Naturally, it was the Mountain God Roar.
With this roar, the soundwaves spread out and fell into Yuan Meng’s ears, causing his body to waver slightly, and the Shapeshifting Liquid Fire from him paused for a moment. However, it only took a moment for Yuan Meng to regain his senses.
“The Mountain God Roar only affected him for a moment?” Yang Chen gritted his teeth.
As he lamented, looking at the Transforming Liquid Fire all over the mountain, he knew that the Divine Soul attack was pointless.
Even if he allowed Yun Lu to use Divine Soul Power to interfere with Yuan Meng, it would be useless because he couldn’t break through the line of defense of the Transforming Demon Fire, and no matter what he said, he wouldn’t be able to hurt the opponent.
As Yang Chen struggled in his mind, he launched the God Piercing Nail, aiming at Yuan Meng, and it flew out with a whoosh.
Still, this move did not have the desired effect.
That is because Yuan Meng’s Liquid Fire not only attacked but also protected itself. Although Yang Chen’s God Piercing Nail infiltrated the Liquid Fire, it had hardly caused any damage to Yuan Meng!
Seeing Yang Chen using one move after another, Yuan Meng roared angrily, “Yang Chen, no matter what technique you use today, you will die.”
Yang Chen saw that even the Thunderbolt Style combined with the Transforming Demon Fire couldn’t hold up, and for a while, he sighed: “Is there really no way? It seems that I have to use this method.”
He knew very well that once he played this hand, he would face big trouble afterwards. For the Fire Essence Beast, the birth of each Strange Fire was like the appearance of a lifeline!
As the thought fell, Yang Chen soared into the air and shouted, “Yuan Meng, you want to play with fire, right? Then I’ll play with you to the end!”
As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand, and in an instant, the entire Beast Mountain Inner Area was filled with Flourishing Stars. Bunches of quiet, star-like flames suddenly appeared in every corner of the Beast Mountain Inner Circle. Then, the flames gathered together and attacked fiercely!
Upon comparison, Yuan Meng’s Shapeshifting Liquid Fire was immediately on the retreat.
What Yang Chen used was none other than the Starfire.
