Pneumatic Nine Heavens

"What?" Even the nobles could not sit still. After Long Chen unleashed his Aura, seven Qi cyclones could be vaguely seen floating behind him.

"He is actually only at the 7th Heaven of Qi Gathering?"

Long Chen had fought others several times, but had never revealed his cultivation level. Some secretly guessed that Long Chen had long since entered the Blood Condensation realm, but had simply been hiding it.

However, the Aura Long Chen was erupting with at this moment was clearly just that of the 7th Heaven of Qi Gathering.

"However, how can the Aura of the 7th Heaven be this powerful?"

Someone was the first to notice something wrong; the Aura Long Chen unleashed was too terrifying, and it didn't look like the Aura of the 7th Heaven at all.

Wei Cang, Xia Changfeng, and the others were also shocked. They had heard of such a thing for the first time.

"Bang!" A loud explosion sounded from beneath Long Chen's feet. The sturdy arena shook, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward Huang Shang.

He threw a punch, the force of the wind exploding and filling the heavens and earth, like a giant hammer smashing toward Huang Shang.

Huang Shang snorted coldly, his body trembling as his Qi and blood surged, causing the space to twist slightly. He also threw a punch.

"Boom!" With a deafening explosion, the two fists collided fiercely, and the waves of Qi overlapped, sweeping across the four directions.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Long Chen's fists were like mountains, unleashing three punches in rapid succession like a violent storm. Huang Shang's expression changed, and he roared, meeting them head-on with all his strength.

"Rumblings!" With an explosive sound, the arena, which spanned a hundred zhang, could not withstand the power of the two and shattered apart. Wood splinters flew everywhere, causing a gasp from the crowd.

"Boom!" Another explosion sounded, and the two appeared on the collapsed arena, staring fixedly at each other.

"Unexpected. You really have some skills." Huang Shang gently wiped the corner of his mouth, cleaning away the bloodstain there.

The current Long Chen was simply a Demonic Beast in human form, with terrifyingly great strength. Caught off guard, Huang Shang had actually sustained a minor injury.

"There are many things you wouldn't expect. And I don't just have 'some skills.' You shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't have, used my close female friend and brothers to anger me. That makes me go crazy. Once I go crazy, even I am afraid of myself," Long Chen said coldly.

"Hahaha, you are talking big. Do you really think I only have this much capability? Today, I will let you, a frog at the bottom of a well, see what true strength is."

"Bang!" Huang Shang let out a fierce shout, and his Aura surged upward. The Aura he had originally displayed, which was only at the 4th Heaven of Blood Condensation, began to soar rapidly.

"5th Heaven." "6th Heaven." "7th Heaven."

Great Master Yun Qi's expression changed. He hadn't expected that this Huang Shang had actually hidden his cultivation, and was surprisingly an expert in the Late Stage of Blood Condensation.

The 3rd Heaven and 4th Heaven of the Blood Condensation realm were a huge hurdle, and the same was true for the 6th Heaven and 7th Heaven.

Once this barrier was crossed, combat power would see a huge increase. That was why, after the Blood Condensation realm, strength was basically calculated by Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage.

At this moment, Huang Shang unleashed the strength of the 7th Heaven of Blood Condensation. His entire body's blood energy surged like a tide, making people feel suppressed.

"Kid, accept your fate. Your death day has arrived."

Huang Shang let out a fierce shout, a ferocious look appearing on his face. With a spread of his large hand, he drifted before Long Chen and struck down with a palm.

Long Chen's heart tightened. Sure enough, his intuition was correct. This Huang Shang had hidden his cultivation; only now was the real battle beginning.

Originally, Long Chen didn't want to fight Huang Shang right now, but Long Chen was already about to be driven mad by anger. If he didn't fight back, he wouldn't be able to get past that hurdle in his heart.

Seeing Huang Shang strike with a palm, a look of disdain still hanging on his face as if he were looking at an ant, Long Chen's anger flared. He operated the seven Qi cyclones in his Dantian with full force and threw a punch.

"Boom!" With an explosive sound, Long Chen felt a great force strike him, as if he had been hit by a rapidly charging wild bull, and he flew backward instantly.

"Bang!" The arena boards behind him that had been broken, solid wood over a foot thick, were smashed through by Long Chen. He flew several zhang away before falling to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

"Such strong power. The difference between the Middle Stage and the Late Stage is actually this huge?"

Long Chen stood up from the ground, his heart filled with shock. When he first saw Huang Shang, he had only revealed the cultivation of the 4th Heaven of Blood Condensation.

At that time, Long Chen had already discovered that he simply couldn't resist him. He was very astonished by the gap between the Early Stage and the Middle Stage.

When he held the Eight-Character Eyebrows man at the Juying Building, the man had absolutely no room to resist. One had to know that the Eight-Character Eyebrows man was an expert in the Early Stage of Blood Condensation.

Now, Long Chen had condensed seven Qi cyclones, and his combat power was much stronger than back then, but in front of Huang Shang, who was in the Late Stage of Blood Condensation, he was still completely suppressed.

"A piece of trash, yet you dare to brazenly challenge me to a duel? You dare to stand up for others? You dare to have a toad wanting to eat swan meat? It's truly laughable."

Huang Shang walked slowly toward Long Chen, a look of disdain on his face: "A person like you is not worthy of living in this world with me. Let me end you."

"No!" Seeing this, Chu Yao let out a scream and was about to rush out.

"Do not be presumptuous. In a life-and-death duel, no one can intervene!" The Empress Dowager's expression darkened, and she shouted sternly.

At the same time, dozens of guards appeared in front of Chu Yao. Those guards were all experts; Chu Yao absolutely could not break through.

"Child, sit down first. You cannot stop it," Great Master Yun Qi said slowly.

"Great Master, I beg you, please save Long Chen," Chu Yao pleaded with tears streaming down her face.

"Rest assured. Even if I have to throw away this old face of mine, I will save Long Chen," Great Master Yun Qi smiled slightly and said in a low voice.

Hearing Great Master Yun Qi say this, Chu Yao couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Great Master Yun Qi continued: "Let us watch first. Long Chen is not a reckless person; he should have his own trump card."

Chu Yao nodded. Although they hadn't known each other for long, in her impression, Long Chen was always very reliable. However, she didn't know why her heart had suddenly become chaotic.

Thinking of her actions just now, which had fallen into the eyes of everyone, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red.

Xia Changfeng, who had originally seen that Long Chen was sure to die and whose mood had calmed down a lot, suddenly saw Chu Yao so concerned about Long Chen and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fire rise. He shouted loudly: "Huang Shang, stop talking nonsense. Finish him!"

Hearing Xia Changfeng's order, Huang Shang, who had already walked up to Long Chen, sighed and said: "Kid, before you die, I will give you one piece of advice. In your next life, see your own strength clearly. There are some people you cannot afford to offend."

After speaking, Huang Shang sneered and struck down at Long Chen with a palm. However, this palm was silent, and a yellow, earthy color appeared in his palm. It was clearly an Advanced battle skill.

Everyone present was stunned. That Huang Shang was an expert in the Late Stage of Blood Condensation. Even without using a battle skill, his combat power was already boundless. With this palm strike, Long Chen would surely die.

Some young girls had already painfully closed their eyes, not wanting to see the scene of Long Chen's blood splattering on the spot.

However, Long Chen did not have a trace of panic. He said calmly: "When a person is about to die, his words are good. You are right. See your own strength clearly. There are some people you cannot afford to offend."

"Whoosh!" Seeing Huang Shang strike with a palm, Long Chen met it with a punch. At the very moment Long Chen threw his punch, the Fengfu Star beneath his feet operated rapidly, sending a faint stream of energy into his Dantian.

The seven Qi cyclones, which were originally operating slowly, instantly expanded tenfold and simultaneously operated rapidly like windmills.

At that moment, endless energy instantly swept through his entire body like a vast ocean.

"Boom!" As the fist and palm met, waves of Qi rolled out, the sound shaking in all directions. The entire plaza was shaken by it, and the terrifying power swept out, surging toward the surroundings.

The whistling wind blew so hard that the people nearby couldn't even stand steadily and retreated one after another. The faces of those young men and women were filled with shock.

Such a terrifying battle—they had never seen it before, and hadn't even thought about it. Was this really the power of a human?

When the dust and smoke raised by the wind gradually dissipated, the originally broken arena could no longer be seen in its original form, with broken wood scattered everywhere.

In the middle, after the wind passed, a blank space appeared. On the blank plaza ground, the originally sturdy stone slabs were already full of spiderweb-like cracks.

There, two figures stood still, their fists and palms still meeting. Long Chen's eyes were like lightning, staring fixedly at Huang Shang.

At this moment, Huang Shang's face was full of shock. His full-strength strike just now had actually failed to shake Long Chen.

Feeling the power continuously coming from Long Chen's fist, like a raging sea and wild waves, it was simply endless.

Huang Shang had already unleashed all of his power, yet he was still unable to kill Long Chen. Long Chen's power was like a bottomless pit, making him feel a trace of fear for the first time.

At this time, Xia Changfeng and Wei Cang stood up abruptly, their faces full of shock. Long Chen's combat power was completely beyond their expectations.

"How is this possible?"

Xia Changfeng's expression changed. How could a kid at the 7th Heaven of Qi Gathering unleash such terrifying power, actually able to rival an expert in the Late Stage of Blood Condensation?

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Great Master Yun Qi, who was always calm, had a look of shock in his eyes.

Chu Yao's pretty face was filled with pleasant surprise. Looking at that figure who seemed like a Heavenly God descending to earth, her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness.

Fatty Yu and the others were trembling with excitement. Although they had been stubborn just now, when facing an expert in the Late Stage of Blood Condensation, they really thought that Long Chen was going to fall today.

"Brother Long, too cool!"

At this time, Shi Feng, who had originally fallen into a coma, had already woken up with the help of Long Chen's Medicinal Pill. However, he had multiple fractures all over his body and could not move, so he was being supported by Monkey.

Watching Long Chen in the middle of the field with Killing Intent overflowing from his eyes, like a bloodthirsty God of Slaughter, he felt a wave of emotion in his heart, and at the same time, he felt incomparably ashamed.

Even if he were stupid, he could see that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy aimed at Long Chen. The opponent had used him to successfully lure Long Chen into a carefully laid trap.

And Long Chen knew clearly that this was a trap with nine deaths and one life, yet he still jumped in without hesitation, making Shi Feng, this iron-willed man, unable to help but have moist eyes.

"Bang!" With an explosive sound, Long Chen let out a fierce shout, and an irresistible force pushed Huang Shang back a zhang.

"Huang Shang, if I cannot make your blood splatter five steps today, I, Long Chen, will not see tomorrow's sun."

Long Chen's voice was like it came from the Nine Nether Hell, his undisguised Killing Intent causing the wind and clouds to change color and people's hearts to tremble.

"Hmph, although your strength is very strong, killing doesn't just rely on strength," Huang Shang put away the shock on his face and sneered, "However, there is one point you are right about: you will not see tomorrow's sun, because tonight, you will surely die."

Huang Shang's words finally made everyone realize: their battle was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but clearly a conspiracy aimed at Long Chen.

Long Chen took a deep breath and slowly extended a fist. His entire body moved without wind, his robes fluttered, and his black hair danced, as if a God of War had possessed him.

"Then let's try and see who exactly won't see tomorrow's sun."
