Chapter 231: Martial Dao Intent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The demon lord is very powerful and grasps the power of law. We have to be careful.” Compared to Zhou Chen’s fearlessness, Vera seemed to be a little pessimistic. At the same time, she shared some information about the demon lord.
“The power of law? Looks like he’s a good opponent.” Knowing that the other party was very strong, Zhou Chen was not afraid at all. Instead, he stepped on the ground and instantly flew towards the black dot in the sky like a cannonball.
He was not being rash, but because the Berserk passive skill was still stacked. It would disappear in a few seconds. He had to enter the battle as soon as possible to refresh the duration of the berserk state.
Under this stacked berserk state, his strength, speed, and regenerative ability were greatly enhanced. This was the time when his combat strength was the strongest.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen arrived in the distant sky. He approached the demon lord that was flying over and punched its face.
The appearance of the demon lord was not special. It looked similar to the humanoid demons with scales that Zhou Chen had killed earlier. However, those demons were basically blood-red, while the body of the demon lord was a light golden color, and it was slightly larger. Only its eyes were the color of
blood.
Zhou Chen ruthlessly hit its face and sent it flying thousands of meters away.
He immediately followed, preparing to kill this enemy in one go.
But just as he approached the enemy who was still maintaining a surprised expression after being knocked flying by him, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on his back. His entire body was beaten to the ground and sunk into the red abyss ground.
“What’s going on? Is there more than one enemy?”
Zhou Chen was not seriously injured. He still maintained a high level of combat strength, but he was very puzzled. He had clearly seen the enemy in front of him, but he had been attacked from behind. It made him feel that someone had hidden behind him and launched a surprise attack.
Zhou Chen quickly jumped out of the ground and observed the situation outside. He saw at a glance that the tall, light golden demon lord that he had sent flying was standing in midair, looking down at him with its blood-red eyes.
“Human, you are the only one who was able to hit me in this thousand years. Not bad.” The demon lord in the sky looked at Zhou Chen. Its face covered in the visor moved, as if it was smiling. Its voice was strange, and its tone was low and grating, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together. ‘T’ll give
you a chance to choose your own death.”
Zhou Chen ignored it and carefully sensed his surroundings, wanting to understand the abnormality just now.
However, he did not notice anything. The enemy was standing steadily in midair. The strength of its aura was the same as before. Its face was intact, and there was no trace of his attack.
“Human, if you don’t answer, I’ll help you choose.” The demon lord was a little happy as it thought that Zhou Chen was stunned because of it.
Zhou Chen also understood that it was not beneficial for him to remain dazed, so he replied with his actions.
His figure instantly circled behind the demon lord and kicked it.
He felt like he hit the target with this kick, but in the next moment, his back suffered a heavy blow. He was knocked into the ground again.
“What’s going on? There was clearly only one enemy around me just now. Who attacked me from behind?”
Zhou Chen felt that the bones in his back had almost broken. Fortunately, his recovery speed was astonishing, and this injury was not a problem, but the strangeness of the attack made him feel frustrated.
Just as he was about to jump out of the ground, he felt a huge pressure on his body. Something was pressing him.
At the same time, a light and hoarse voice sounded from above. “I heard that you humans like to be buried in the ground after death. Let that be how you die then.”
As soon as the voice finished speaking, Zhou Chen felt a sharp pain in his heart! He spat out blood!
He immediately sensed that his chest had been pierced through by some powerful attack! There was a bowl-sized hole that passed through his heart!
“What’s going on, is its attack power so strong?”
Zhou Chen felt that it was unbelievable that his body was instantly pierced because his body was not something that others could compare to. He had Copper Skin Iron Bones V, Monolith V, Physique Enhancement V, Steel Body III, and Wyvern Skin II passive skills. His body could even withstand missiles,
and ordinary attacks could not break through his defense. It was already very impressive that the enemy could cause some injuries. This was the first time he had encountered an enemy who could directly penetrate his defense.
“Its methods are too strange and powerful.”
Zhou Chen felt a life and death crisis. Of course, this was only a crisis. This was because his body’s recovery speed was extremely high with the fully stacked Berserk. Moreover, there were no vital points on his body. It was okay if his heart was crushed, it would heal along with the other injured areas in
the next second.
“I can’t be afraid! If I can’t even face this enemy, how can I become a Martial Dao Human Immortal!”
As soon as the fear appeared, Zhou Chen destroyed it. Then, he erupted with all the Eight Desolates True Energy in his body and blew away the thing that was pressing on his body. Then, he charged out of the ground with his rapidly healing body and charged towards the demon lord that was attacked by
his explosive strength.
It turned out that this guy had just stepped on top of him and used some kind of huge pressure to make it difficult for him to move.
“Die!”
After struggling free, Zhou Chen, who had realized what was going on, approached the demon lord once again. He used the Eight Desolates True Energy to enhance his fist and hit its surprised face.
However, the next moment, Zhou Chen suddenly changed his move, turning around and sweeping his leg behind him.
Then, he saw that there was actually a demon lord with the same appearance behind him. Mysterious energy gathered on its claws as it attacked him!
The two collided. Zhou Chen’s leg, which was supported by various passive skills and Eight Desolates True Energy, instantly shattered! An intense pain spread throughout his body.
Zhou Chen, who had been heavily injured again, did not utter a sound. He glanced behind and saw that the target he had attacked earlier had disappeared. There was nothing there.
“This guy’s speed is fast to this extent? What’s wrong with his attack? Why is it so powerful?” Zhou Chen thought to himself as he stared at the enemy in front of him and retreated with heavy injuries.
At this moment, he felt a familiar aura approaching him. A beautiful figure approached him. It was Vera!
Vera jumped near him. Her silver hair danced in the wind as she handed a necklace to Zhou Chen. “Its law power is teleportation and destruction! Put it on quickly!”
Zhou Chen immediately caught the necklace. Without hesitation, he wore it around his neck. Then, in the next moment, he heard a painful groan.
He turned around and saw that the demon lord had appeared on Vera’s back and pierced through her body with its claws!
“No!” Zhou Chen was unable to restrain his anger after seeing Vera being attacked. He used his Eight Desolates True Energy to punch the demon lord, but the latter’s figure disappeared, making his punch miss.
Zhou Chen caught Vera, who was vomiting blood and falling.
“Don’t care about me. Run quickly. The law power on the necklace can’t hold on for long.” Vera’s face was pale, but she did not care about her condition and reminded Zhou Chen to quickly escape.
“Don’t worry, I’ll kill it.”
Zhou Chen landed on the ground with Vera in his arms and placed her on a large red stone. He took out a bottle of potion from his inventory and stuffed it into her hand. Then, his figure instantly disappeared and charged towards the demon lord who was watching the show with a mocking expression.
“Tsk tsk… This necklace with the aura of the space laws does restrain my ability, but you alone will never be able to defeat me.”
It did not fight Zhou Chen. Instead, it used that teleportation technique again and continuously dodged. At the same time, it mocked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was using the Eight Desolates True Energy’s lightning attribute and was extremely fast. However, even though he was already as fast as lightning and could barely keep up with this enemy, he was still a little lacking and could not attack the other party even once.
This situation repeated nearly a hundred times in a few seconds. The figures of the demon lord and Zhou Chen kept flashing in this blood-red world as they moved around madly.
At this moment, the killing intent in Zhou Chen’s heart was extremely strong. His original desire to fight had turned into complete killing intent, making him feel unprecedented focus.
“Just a little more! Just a little more and I can hit it!”
The speed of the demon lord’s teleportation was astonishing, but Zhou Chen was not slow either. With the lightning attribute of the Eight Desolates True Energy and the fully stacked Berserk, he could keep up with the demon lord, but there was still a short distance to go, making it impossible for him to
launch a powerful attack.
“Freeze!”
Amidst the continuous flashes, Zhou Chen acutely seized an opportunity to get closer to the other party. He turned the Eight Desolates True Energy into the lightning and ice attributes and released it in all directions.
Such an external attack was not as strong as a close combat attack, but Zhou Chen was not using it to hurt the other party. He only needed the ice attribute’s freezing effect.
Just as he had expected, the demon lord appeared within the range of his true energy explosion when it teleported and was affected by the Eight Desolates True Energy.
Although this powerful enemy was immune to the freezing effect, it was slightly affected. Its teleportation speed was slightly slower than before.
This slight change allowed Zhou Chen to find an opportunity and punch it in the face!
However, the demon lord would not take a beating for nothing. Since it could not teleport in time, it attacked Zhou Chen.
The two massive energies immediately collided, stirring up violent waves in the Abyss.
This time, Zhou Chen’s body was not shattered by the demon lord. His attack hit it firmly and sent it flying.
“The energy on the necklace has weakened.”
At the same time, Zhou Chen felt that the necklace Vera had given him had changed. The special energy used to provide protection had been spent greatly.
“Looks like I don’t have many chances to attack.”
Looking at the demon lord who had been sent flying by him, Zhou Chen knew that he did not have much chance of victory if this continued.
Because the necklace Vera gave him could not protect him many times. When the energy on it was exhausted, he would be tortured again.
“But I want to win! I have to kill it!” Zhou Chen’s killing intent was unprecedentedly firm and strong.
In the next moment, he stood in the air and closed his eyes.
“Tsk tsk, you know how weak you are now? Have you given up on struggling?” Seeing Zhou Chen’s strange behavior, the demon lord couldn’t help but mock him. He thought that Zhou Chen had already given up on this battle and accepted death.
However, Zhou Chen ignored him. He continued to stand in midair with his eyes closed.
“Die!”
The demon lord naturally would not waste this chance. It suddenly activated its teleportation ability and appeared above Zhou Chen’s head. Its sharp hooves smashed towards Zhou Chen’s head with terrifying energy.
However, what was strange was that it missed. Just as Zhou Chen was about to be hit, his figure flashed and dodged by a hair’s breadth. This time, he had not used the energy on the necklace.
“What’s going on? Has his reaction speed increased?”
This situation puzzled the demon lord. After fighting for so long, it had long understood that Zhou Chen’s reaction speed could not avoid its attack. Why had there been a sudden change?
It felt that it might be a coincidence as it teleported a few more times to feign an attack. Then, it suddenly appeared on Zhou Chen’s side and suddenly extended its claws to grab his neck.
However, Zhou Chen dodged again. It was as if he knew the location of the demon lord’s teleportation and had grasped the timing to dodge, but his eyes were still closed.
“Hehe, since you like dodging, I’l kill your woman!” Seeing Zhou Chen’s strange state, the demon lord turned to look at Vera, who was still lying on the stone on the ground, and planned to teleport to finish her.
However, before it could activate its ability, it suddenly heard Zhou Chen speak.
“So this is the Great Martial Dao Grandmaster realm… I understand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chen’s aura began to rise rapidly, as if a small flame had ignited a large tree and raised a fire that could bun mountains.
Then, he opened his eyes, and substantial killing intent shot out of them as he locked onto the demon lord who was looking at him vigilantly.
“Thank you for letting me find my martial dao intent. You can die now.” Zhou Chen punched the demon lord. His movements were neither fast nor slow, but it gave the demon lord an extremely dangerous and bizarre feeling..
