BXBX NOVEL Chapter 429 - I Keep Letting People Down
He went on to attack with Golden Crow Spear.
Ninth Crown Prince’s top half of his head flew clean off.
The Earth Immortals were amazed, “A slash again?”
“Yet only one?”
“He went again with the same outstanding strike. How deep does his spiritual power reserve run?”
“He not only succeeded but also split Ninth Crown Prince’s skull!”
Chen Ming was thinking about how to run off at this point. This Ninth is only so-so. This should end him, no? He never saw an Earth Immortal survive after having his head in pieces.
Yet the system lady’s notice never reached his ears. Ninth was alive!
The spear flung itself in Ninth’s hand as if returning home. The head part on the ground burned and his body did the same. They combined and the flaming Ninth Crown Prince caught Chen Ming off guard with a chest blow.
He was thrown back, with blood dripping from a gaping wound.
Chen Ming used Illustrious Casket to recover. His Dao Comprehending realm comprehension of it was insufficient however when used on himself while who was at peak Earth Immortal realm in power.
Blood flowed backward, flesh and bone knitting. Despite healing, it was leagues below Nirvana.
If it were the Earth Immortal realm Illustrious Casket, that would’ve been much different.
As for the crowd, the development was too fast and their expressions couldn’t catch up...
First came Chen Ming’s hack at Ninth’s skull, leaving them thinking this was over, then came his retaliation and soaking Chen Ming in blood.
“This battle doesn’t make sense...”
“They’re freaks, the lot of them. One keeps using a mighty art to decapitate peak Earth Immortals while the other just won’t die!”
With the battle reaching this stage, everyone was abuzz. They treated it as if it was a battle among gods!
They had no right to criticize.
Ninth howled with laughter, “Ha-ha-ha, your puny skill is useless! How was it? How do you like my spear?”
“Victory is at hand!”
Though not many comments flew about, in times like this, the cultivators couldn’t help themselves, “No matter how many times he attacks, Star Dragon Crown Prince’s move is in vain!”
“Ninth Crown Prince is undying!”
“His Nirvana art is deep and exquisite!”
“By the look of things, this fight goes to Ninth Crown Prince. Star Dragon Crown Prince’s saber art is intricate, true, putting him in the top of Earth Immortals, however, he’s left at a loss against Ninth Crown Prince.”
A mantle wearing man mocked on a low tone, “Saber art? The top of Earth Immortals? Ha-ha...”
His voice wasn’t loud in the least. None around him heard so no waves arose.
Ninth was fearless as he smiled, “Star Dragon Crown Prince is only so-so.”
He could feel victory drawing near and he would grind his enemy to dust.
Chen Ming had thought his thinking might be wrong. Maybe passing the tribulation didn’t need him beating a hundred or a thousand of them, but only one.
If he had a killing move, he could end a genius and still have energy left to spare to pass the tribulation. He’d tell the others, Now you can die.
Everyone was scared of death. If there was no hatred, would anyone be relentless under fear of death?
Sometimes killing one was enough.
Time to get serious. If I don’t, this probing fight will turn fake.
If I don’t stake it all, I’ll never know how weak I am. Just like those web novel writers, if they don’t push through they’d never know how far they can get.
Killing intent boiled from Chen Ming and drifted off in the surrounding, leaving all feeling cold.
“Ding! Sensing host’s strong killing intent. King Slayer Aura lvl 3 is enabled, the eye for slaughter has activated. As this is your first time using it, I shall point this out: stupendous, darling! Remember to give it a five-star rating.”
As for the spectators, they did not affect Chen Ming. Their battle needn’t no one’s assessment. He only wanted to experiment; winning or losing mattered little.
Fine, it’s still important. If I don’t kill a genius in one killing move, they will swarm me!
I can only fight one and must win!
Chen Ming laughed, “Wining for so long you forgot the meaning of defeat. You’re fortunate to witness as I win again.”
Ninth felt the change in his energy, the thick killing intent.
When he looked at Ninth, Chen Ming found him different. A red dot was in his Dantian, I get it. That has to be his weak point, no?
So that’s how it works. And it only works if my killing intent is high enough, though it’s still very much useful.
This so-called eye for slaughter enables massacre and can detect weak points?
Chen Ming rushed Ninth with Eight Dragon-ascending Steps.
Ninth had no fear, Why should I take it seriously? My Nirvana art is unbreakable!
He faced Chen Ming with his spear, wanting to wear him out one blow at a time.
Ninth cackled, “It’s useless! There’s nothing you can do to me!”
“Your defeat is certain, yet you’re dumb enough to charge again. What an ignorant, but this will be your undoing!”
The crowd went into another round of gossips, “He knows he lost yet insists on fighting. What an idiotic method!”
“A worthless method!”
Jin Xiangyu took it all in and left with soft steps, “There’s no point in watching. Star Dragon Crown Prince has no counter for Nirvana.”
Moon Palace’s Crown Prince turned around, “Let’s go back. The fight is over. Nothing will happen with so many fiends around. They can defend their Star Dragon.”
The fight was considered over, yet Chen Ming snickered, Yeah, it’s over alright.
Just that I’ll have to let everyone down again, uh, I always end up letting people down, actually.
