Chapter 904 Sixth stage (2)
Surprisingly, the next scene that followed left both Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, and even the spectating Xingyi in the distance tongue-tied, before looks of disbelief quickly covered everyone"s faces.
Shun Long was merely pushed backwards for a couple of meters before coming to a stop, directly resisting Jiang Chen"s attack!
Naturally, to an outsider watching this scene, it would seem as if Jiang Chen held a slight advantage in this clash. After all, both he and Shun Long were in the early Sixth stage of body refinement, yet he was the one who came out on top in this exchange!
However, Jiang Chen understood better than anyone else that this wasn"t the case, and the reason for that was very simple; He had actually imbued his "Dao of Darkness" in his attack, and yet Shun Long had resisted it head-on!
That"s right. He didn"t make use of his Dao of s.p.a.ce or any external treasures, and had simply taken Jiang Chen"s strike with his bare body.
Naturally, the attack of a body refinement cultivator who was merely using the strength of his physical body, and an attack that was imbued with the power of their Dao were two completely different concepts that couldn"t be compared.
In the distance, Bai Longtian who was planning on chasing after Shun Long after he used his "Dao of s.p.a.ce" to dodge was now rooted on the spot, with a look of astonishment plastered all over his face.
After all, just a moment ago, Bai Longtian had simply been putting on appearances and hadn"t really used his Dao of the Buddha when he attacked Shun Long. Since this was just a spar, he was first going to see what Shun Long was planning to use to resist his sixth stage body refinement cultivation and wasn"t going to go all-out right from the start!
However, after seeing that even Jiang Chen"s normal attacks couldn"t pierce through Shun Long"s defenses, Bai Longtian felt like he had been making a fool out of himself, before a sense of shame began to overwhelm him.
"Did I seriously think that I could fight brother Shun while holding back? I must have really grown complacent.."
As his thoughts reached this point, Bai Longtian suddenly kicked the ground beneath him without any hesitation, as he shot towards Shun Long as well, while a dense golden aura quickly covered his entire body!
This time, he wasn"t planning to hold back either!
At the same time, Shun Long lowered his head and glanced at his own hands, sensing a burning, almost corroding sensation that had already covered them. Even though Jiang Chen had already removed his "talons" from him, Shun Long could still catch a glimpse of a tiny black "flame" lingering on his skin, and could tell that this flame along with the burning sensation he was feeling both originated from Jiang Chen"s "Dao of Darkness"!
With a smile on his face, Shun Long suddenly jerked his arms outwards, forcefully dispersing the last few bits of the black-colored "flame" that were lingering on his skin, before he looked at Jiang Chen and called out
""Good job, Jiang Chen! Αgain!""
In the next moment, Jiang Chen didn"t hesitate either, his "talons" sweeping towards Shun Long directly, even targeting a few of his vital spots in the process. Although those strikes weren"t going to kill a Sixth stage body refiner, they were still going to inflict some serious damage if they landed, and the experience wasn"t going to be a pleasant one!
In a single moment, Jiang Chen had already struck more than 10 times, each of his attacks carrying lethal precision and overwhelming force, as they targeted Shun Long"s vitals! And yet, Shun Long seemed to have effortlessly blocked every single one of those claws without exception, not allowing even a single one of them to land on his body!
Nevertheless, as the two of them kept exchanging strikes, traces of black flame quickly began to appear on the surface of Shun Long"s fists once more, before the familiar burning sensation appeared once again!
This time however, it was Jiang Chen"s turn to become astonished as Shun Long"s lips suddenly curved upwards, forming a faint, yet clearly discernible smile, before the corroding black flames instantly vanished from his arms!
All of this took a while to describe, but this entire exchange had only lasted less than two breaths of time, before Bai Longtian"s figure finally appeared behind Shun Long!
In the next moment, Bai Longtian"s palm that was shrouded in a dense golden light hurled straight towards Shun Long"s unprotected back.
Watching the scene in front of him, Jiang Chen opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Shun Long immediately turned around and glanced at the incoming palm strike from Bai Longtian before he clenched his right hand tightly and sent a fist forward in response.
Boooom!
As Bai Longtian"s golden palm met Shun Long"s fist, Jiang Chen could clearly see the golden light around Bai Longtian"s palm clash with a familiar-looking, white-colored light that had already covered Shun Long"s fist, before Bai Longtian"s figure trembled, and his body was sent flying backwards for more than a dozen meters, only stopping after he was buried deep in the sand below him!
A brief moment later, Bai Longtian flew out from the ground, patting away the sand that had covered his eyes along with his face, before he quickly turned his astonished gaze towards Shun Long.
Just like Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian"s figure appeared to be devoid of injuries, yet just like Jiang Chen, he was also rooted on the spot, with a look of unconcealed shock on his face as he stared at the white-colored lightning around Shun Long"s right hand!
After a moment of hesitation, Bai Longtian took in a deep breath trying to calm down his turbulent emotions, before he looked at Shun Long and asked in a disbelieving tone
""Brother Shun... what is this white lightning? Why does it give me the same sensation as a heavenly tribulation?""
