Chapter 242: Sparring

After exiting Hidden Island, Chen Ansheng concealed his aura all the way.

Several days later, after passing through layers of natural barriers, Chen Ansheng returned to Chaos Island.

Just landing, Han Immortal King’s five disciples immediately locked onto Chen Ansheng with their immortal senses.

Swish, swish, swish!

Figures flickered, and the five appeared.

“Greetings, Senior Brother, Senior Sister.”

Chen Ansheng smiled and clasped his hands lightly.

Among the five, the leader, a young man in a green robe, Fang Chixu, said coldly, “Not bad, kid, you really dare to come back.”

Chen Ansheng replied, “I, Chen, keep my word. Since I promised Immortal King Han to participate in the duel, I naturally will not go back on it.”

One of the female disciples chimed in, “You should first weigh your own abilities!”

Another male disciple said, “That’s right, we agreed to compete a month ago. Now you have no excuses to back out!”

The others stared fiercely at Chen Ansheng.

Chen Ansheng glanced over them with a calm expression. “The duel is imminent; it would not be appropriate for us to bicker among ourselves, would it?”

“Less nonsense!” The female disciple angrily shouted, “You used Senior Brother Fang’s resources to cultivate, and you still want to play tricks? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson in this so-called dual cultivation of martial arts. Take this!”

Buzz!

The female disciple erupted with immortal power and directly attacked Chen Ansheng.

“Ha!”

With one palm, she struck towards Chen Ansheng’s chest.

This strike combined hardness and softness, with immortal power condensing into countless minute needles attached to the surface of her palm.

If hit by this palm, those immortal power needles could pierce the skin and enter the meridians, causing unbearable pain.

“Really vicious.”

Chen Ansheng detected this with his immortal sense.

However, he did not dodge but solidified the space in front of him to block.

Additionally, he cast the “Space Quicksand” technique to delay the female disciple’s attack.

“Hmm?”

The female disciple sensed a change immediately.

The palm strength she exerted was hindered by a soft mass of space, and its power was greatly reduced.

“Hmph!”

The female disciple snorted coldly.

“With such a close distance, even if you cast a few immortal techniques to hinder me, it would be futile!”

As she finished speaking, her body trembled violently, and powerful immortal energy transformed into countless tendrils, striking towards Chen Ansheng.

Crack, crack, crack!

Those tendrils whipped through the space, distorting it as if they were godly whips.

“Junior Sister is really something; there’s no need to use a unique skill against this kid, it’s overkill.”

One of the male disciples chuckled.

Feeling that overwhelming attack, Chen Ansheng quickly condensed an energy shield with his immortal power.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Ansheng’s energy shield was shattered.

Countless tendrils struck Chen Ansheng’s body.

Fang Chixu’s face turned pale at the sight, secretly thinking that this guy was truly no match, unable to even withstand one move from Junior Sister.

The so-called dual cultivation of techniques was really disappointing.

“Phantom!”

At that moment, the attacking female disciple exclaimed.

Only she sensed it first; Chen Ansheng had already disappeared from his original location, and all her attacks missed.

“Junior Sister, be careful!”

The watching disciples suddenly understood that Chen Ansheng had teleported away!

“This kid has some skill; he even fooled my immortal sense!”

The next moment!

Bang!

A dull sound erupted.

One of the male disciples got hit on the back and flew forward, smashing a large pit into the ground.

“You bastard, why did you sneak attack Junior Brother Wu!”

The others roared angrily at Chen Ansheng, whose figure reappeared.

Chen Ansheng responded indifferently, “I’m one against five; what’s wrong with a sneak attack?”

“Impudence!” Fang Chixu shouted, “Sly tricks don’t count as skills; you’re still so brazen. Come here!”

Rumble!

A black dragon-patterned spear suddenly appeared in Fang Chixu’s hand.

“Junior Sister, stand down, I’ll teach him a lesson!”

Fang Chixu wielded the spear, with a domineering aura of immortal energy rolling through him like a river.

“Senior Brother Fang, there’s no need for you to use your spear against this kid, right?” the female disciple transmitted secretly.

“What do you know?” Fang Chixu replied, “We are all late-stage Immortal Sages, one realm above him. If we don’t crush him with force and instead fight him evenly, wouldn’t that be shameful?”

The female disciple realized, “That’s true. If it weren’t for him being dual-culivating in techniques and martial arts, competing with a mid-stage Immortal Sage would be embarrassing enough.”

“Alright, step back and watch me defeat him in one move!”

The female disciple complied, retreating as Fang Chixu brandished the dragon-patterned spear, flames of azure engulfing his body, with dragon roars echoing out.

Chen Ansheng’s expression became a bit more serious.

The aura Fang Chixu displayed was as strong as an ancient immortal dragon, undeniably powerful.

Even compared to the two devolved celestial immortals from a month ago on the Abyssal Dragon Sea, his momentum was far superior!

After all, he was a disciple of an Immortal King, far from being comparable to an ordinary cultivator.

“This guy’s aura has peaked; he probably wants to defeat me in one move. I need to show some real skills!”

Chen Ansheng could not afford to be careless. If he lost even this internal skirmish, what would it mean to face other prodigies?

This battle must be won!

“Chen Ansheng, feel free to use any means you have, or don’t blame me for taking your life.”

Fang Chixu said coldly.

“Don’t worry, you’re not qualified to take my life.”

Chen Ansheng replied with a bland expression.

“Good! So arrogant, let’s not waste words! Azure Dragon Bows Its Head!”

Roar!

The sound of dragon roars surged forth, as if erupting from the depths of Jiu You.

Fang Chixu raised his spear, and a blue dragon phantom enveloped him.

“Kill!”

Boom!

His immortal body moved slightly, and the space erupted with explosive sounds, as if stars were crashing into the earth.

Before the spear even reached, Chen Ansheng felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on him.

If Chen Ansheng were just an average mid-stage Immortal Sage, this overwhelming “intimidation” alone would be enough to crush him and lead to his defeat.

Fortunately, Chen Ansheng quickly condensed several defensive laws to withstand that terrifying pressure.

Clang!

At the same time, Chen Ansheng formed eighteen blue sword phantoms around his immortal body, ready to strike.

“Boom!”

Fang Chixu moved!

His figure crushed forward, and the long spear covered by the blue dragon phantom rushed toward Chen Ansheng in the blink of an eye.

All the spatial spells Chen Ansheng released were crushed by that overwhelming immortal power.

This demonstrated that in the face of absolute strength, the effectiveness of spells would be greatly diminished.

“My true damage laws, combined with the Resonance Sword Sheath, might not even withstand one blow!”

Chen Ansheng knew that there was indeed a small realm disparity between him and Fang Chixu, and Fang Chixu’s immortal power and technique quality were not inferior to his own.

Simply relying on true damage sword intent and the Resonance Sword Sheath enhancement was insufficient to compete.

“Use the Time Sword Intent?”

Chen Ansheng dismissed this thought. The newly formed Time Sword Intent was his greatest trump card; he couldn’t show it easily.

So…

“Otherworld, open!”

Chen Ansheng focused and directly unfolded his Alien Immortal Realm within.
