Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 58 Life-or-Death Battle, A Clumsy but Unadorned Blade [Seeking First Subscription]

"Well said! It's a pity you ran into me."

Yashin shook his head regretfully, looking at Sadie's beautiful figure in the nearby audience, his eyes filled with determination.

"I'm not just looking for freedom, I'm looking for true love! And you're blocking my way. I'm sorry, but I'll give you a quick death, so you won't suffer too much."

"True love?"

Jiang Chen smiled wryly: "Then it seems that someone will be saddened and heartbroken today because of your passing."

"The duel is officially beginning! Please get ready."

The host had already left the arena and was standing outside, giving the order to begin the duel.

Then the entire arena was enveloped by an energy barrier, blocking out the noise from the audience and preventing the two sides from escaping.

Once you step into the arena, there are only two possible outcomes.

It's either one of them dies or both die; there's no third possibility.

Yaxin's expression turned serious as he entered battle mode. He drew his broadsword from his waist and unfurled his white wings, which spanned over five meters, creating a fierce hurricane as he flew towards Jiang Chen.

"Swift sword style."

Jiang Chen also drew his first-tier standard Force Battle Blade, equipped by the Giant Axe Arena. It was as fast as lightning, flashing light and shadow, and unleashed hundreds of blade beams, each with a power amplitude of ten times.

Long swords and broadswords clashed together, producing a metallic clang, before twisting and separating.

Jiang Chen felt a tremendous force impact him and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Now he has suppressed his life genes, which are a hundred times greater than his own, to the level of an ordinary life form. Like Yaxin opposite him, he is an ordinary second-tier planetary life form.

Therefore, it will not be so easy for Jiang Chen to deal with Ya Xin.

However, this was the result he wanted; only in this way could he better hone his swordsmanship skills.

"Heavenly Slaughter Style, Second Form: Consecutive Sword Stance."

Jiang Chen slightly bent his knees and suddenly leaped forward. The blade light spread from a point to a surface, forming a continuous expanse, its power surpassing that of the past, reaching a power amplitude of twenty times.

Yashin's expression turned slightly solemn. His white wings rustled behind him, and feathers shot out with astonishing speed and unparalleled sharpness.

Ding ding ding!

The feathers struck Jiang Chen's battle blade, making a crackling sound like raindrops hitting banana leaves.

"If this is all the strength you have, then this battle should end!"

Yashin gripped the double-edged broadsword with both hands and uttered a soft shout: "Splitting the mountain with one strike!"

With overwhelming power, its amplitude reaching twenty-eight times the normal force, and carrying the acceleration from the flapping of its white wings, it slashed towards Jiang Chen like a cannonball.

"Is this your true ability? How disappointing."

Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed softly. His rapidly swung battle blade suddenly stopped, and his genetic force surged forth.

The third move of the Heavenly Slaughter Style, the Stop-Sword Style, is unleashed.

With a power amplitude of thirty times, under the exquisite swordsmanship, it was as undetectable as a gazelle hanging its horns.

In a flash, a white wing on Yaxin's back suddenly broke off and flew out, spilling crimson blood onto the arena.

"Thirty times the force amplitude? How is that possible?!"

Feeling a burning pain in her back, Yaxin looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Generally speaking, for a planetary-level martial artist, being able to achieve a power amplitude intensity of twenty times is already considered quite remarkable.

With a power amplitude of twenty-eight times, someone like him is already considered one of the best at the planetary level.

Under normal circumstances, one could win hundreds of matches in the Giant Axe Arena.

But he didn't expect that the amplitude of the force on the other side was actually higher than his.

The power amplitude is thirty times greater than his, which is twice as high. The resulting difference in power is undoubtedly enormous.

"I can't lose!"

Sensing the threat of death, Yashin hardened his heart and used his most powerful sword technique to try and turn the tide.

"One sword cleaves the sea."

The broadsword echoed with the roar of the waves, powerful yet gentle.

Although the amplitude of the force exerted by this move is still twenty-eight times, the killing power of the sword move has increased several times compared to the original.

"That move is not bad. In that case, let me show you my newly created technique."

Jiang Chen remained calm and composed, gripping his battle blade and slashing and cutting with the same unassuming, ancient style, as if he were a beginner in swordsmanship.

Yet this seemingly ordinary swordsmanship possesses astonishing power, with each strike having a force amplitude of forty times.

And every move and every style is so powerful that it is hard to defend against, like thunder in silence, and life and death in the ordinary.

"The Fourth Form of the Heavenly Slaughter Style: The Clumsy Knife Style!"

Jiang Chen murmured softly, and as his battle blade struck, Ya Xin, who was rushing towards him, was instantly torn to pieces.

"Am I going to die?"

Blood flowed like a spring, and Yashin, with only half of his body remaining, recalled all the past scenes in his final moments.

The scenery of his hometown was like a dream; he was very young then.

The dense jungle was his playground where he could play freely.

He spread his white wings and moved through the forest, the sunlight shining on his white wings, making him look very holy and beautiful.

When the Kite People's neighbors saw him, they would always invite him to their homes and offer him some sweet fruit.

When the butterfly children saw him, they would always circle around him, and he would dance with them in the wind, playing happily.

Oh, and there's that little girl who's also from the White Wing Clan, always following him around excitedly, calling him "brother."

Back then, he was always very impatient and wanted to leave the little girl behind so he could play by himself.

Looking back now, I really regret it.

If he had spent more time with her back then, perhaps that little girl wouldn't have kept calling his name when she died, causing him constant, lingering pain.

pain?

Yashin recalled the catastrophe that had befallen the planet.

Spaceships and warships hovered high in the sky, while the figures above looked down with sinister grins, like the most terrifying demons in legend.

Various railguns and space-based weapons were deployed and displayed, their roars sounding like the end of the world.

A raging fire broke out in the dense jungle, but he survived thanks to his parents' protection.

But they also lost the White Winged Clan's most precious possession: freedom.

Fortunately, he found true love, which he considered more precious than freedom.

With his last ounce of strength, Yashin turned his head to look at Sadie's figure in the crowd of spectators.

When Yashin saw Sadie looking at him, he was taken aback.

Because that gaze was so unfamiliar, neither as tender and affectionate as before, nor as sorrowful and grief-stricken as he was about to die.

Instead, it was an aloof, indifferent, and cold expression.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Yashin suddenly remembered those who had destroyed his home.

Their gazes seemed to be exactly the same as Sadie's at this moment.

"How could I forget that Sadie's father was one of the slave leaders who destroyed my hometown?"

"He actually wants to be with his daughter? How ridiculous!"

In the end, Yashin breathed his last, a mocking smile on his lips.

"Although we have no grudges against each other, we are forced to face each other in life and death."

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, pieced Ya Xin's broken body back together, and closed his eyes.

"What a wonderful match! I never expected that Yashin, whom we all favored, would lose."

"And Eurico is the victor of this battle!"

The energy barrier opened again, and the host's excited voice rang out.

The shouts and cheers from the audience were continuous.

Originally, it was thought that Yashin had a sure win in this match, but unexpectedly, a dark horse emerged and defeated Yashin.

"What a piece of trash!"

Sadie looked at the dead Yashin, a glint of malice in her eyes: "I was hoping to play with you a little longer, but I didn't expect you to lose so quickly."

"Someone come here!"

"What is it, Miss?"

Two guards approached.

"Go and find out where this Olico came from."

Sadie looked at Jiang Chen standing in the arena with intense interest in her eyes.

……

"Little guy, I never expected you to win your first match against Yashin. It's truly amazing!"

The elegant office was filled with a faint fragrance. Sophie, the fox-eared woman, looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of curiosity.

"Please arrange my next match."

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, spoke directly.

"You've just been through a major battle, don't you need to rest?"

Sophie couldn't help but ask.

"The battle just now wasn't a major battle; it was just a warm-up."

Jiang Chen chuckled slightly: "What's wrong? As the manager of the Giant Axe Arena, are you really that surprised?"

"You little rascal, you really don't know what's good for you."

Sophie rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, exuding charm: "Alright, I'll make the arrangements for you. I hope to see you come back alive next time."

"You won't just see me at the next show, you'll see me all the time."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and turned to leave.

"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting little guy."

Sophie smiled and said, "I hope to go far in the Giant Axe Arena."

Two hours later, Sophie was surprised to see Jiang Chen come to the office again.

"You mean you want to participate in another life-or-death duel?"

"This opponent is not as good as Yashin, whom I encountered the first time. He is too weak. Please arrange a strong opponent for me next time."

Jiang Chen said with some dissatisfaction.

"The opponents in the Giant Axe Arena are randomly matched by the system; I have no say in that."

Sophie shook her head and arranged another match for Jiang Chen.

In this way, Jiang Chen fought over a hundred battles without stopping, defeating his opponents with overwhelming strength and achieving victory in every one.

This also attracted a lot of attention to him, and his fame skyrocketed, making him a hot star player in the Giant Axe Arena of the Dragon Star.

"This is a room specially arranged for you; you can rest here."

Sophie handed Jiang Chen a black crystal card, teasingly saying with a smile, "I thought you never got tired!"

"It's just that the opponent was too weak, so I didn't have to use much strength and therefore didn't get tired."

Jiang Chen took the card. "Then I'll go back and rest first. I'll come back to continue the life-or-death duel when I'm back to my best condition."

"You really are a battle maniac, but as the manager of the Giant Axe Arena, I'm happy to see someone like you arrive."

Sophie watched Jiang Chen leave the room.
