Chapter 956: Chapter 928: Let’s Fight Together!

At the moment Yu Manfang pounced toward him, a glint flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

In his current state, Yu Manfang clearly had already exchanged blows with him before and knew of his prowess. From the very beginning, Yu Manfang showed no intention of holding back.

Facing an Earth-level expert going all out, even Li Chen found it quite headache-inducing.

However, he had no choice but to confront it.

Though with his current strength he might have been able to escape, leaving wasn’t an option for him—not while An Qin was still here.

He had to fight!

Staring at Yu Manfang rushing toward him, a hint of madness flickered through Li Chen’s eyes.

At this moment, he revealed his final trump card.

"Seal of the Blood of Heaven—released!"

Violent energy surged furiously into his meridians at that instant. At the same time, the twenty percent of True Qi he had been using to suppress the Blood of Heaven returned to his body in an instant.

The strength that had been almost completely exhausted was replenished once again.

Through gradual cultivation, Li Chen had slowly uncovered a truth.

The Blood of Heaven was not simply an uncontrollable energy capable of causing a sudden surge in power for a short time.

It was also an incredibly potent method for refining True Qi.

Because during both his usual cultivation and combat, he always had to allocate twenty percent of his True Qi to suppress the Blood of Heaven.

As a result, he could only utilize eighty percent of his True Qi.

And he had to figure out ways to unleash the maximum potential of that eighty percent.

For him, under normal circumstances, that eighty percent of True Qi represented his full strength.

Currently, Li Chen’s actual combat power was already on par with that of someone who had just stepped into the Earth level. However, under normal circumstances, he couldn’t fight at his full capacity.

Every time he fought with full strength, it was tantamount to making a gamble.

A gamble where his life was the stake.

"But this time, I’m betting everything!"

As Yu Manfang dashed forward, he too sensed something unusual about Li Chen. Yet, as an Earth-level expert, Yu Manfang carried the pride befitting his rank.

Li Chen, at this moment, was clearly a spent force. With so many onlookers present, as an Earth-level expert, he certainly couldn’t retreat—not for pride’s sake.

Yu Manfang resolved to crush Li Chen!

"Die for me!"

A thunderous roar erupted as Yu Manfang’s fist transformed into a massive seal in mid-air.

Moreover, as the distance closed between him and Li Chen, the energy of the fist seal swelled continually, as though it was determined to completely obliterate Li Chen.

"How terrifying! This must be the strength of an Earth-level expert!"

"Indeed, the Earth-level is a domain far beyond our reach."

In the rear of the battlefield, a group of observers couldn’t help but express their awe and lament as they watched the clash between the two combatants.

Meanwhile, Li Chen looked at the descending fist seal, his expression darkening.

Unlike the others, being directly under the pressure of the fist seal allowed him alone to sense just how overwhelming its force was.

Against this strike, any form of resistance felt like a futile effort, akin to standing against divine wrath.

A hopeless sense of despair began to arise in Li Chen’s heart.

"But if I don’t fight back, I’m dead for sure!" Li Chen abruptly bit his own tongue, sending a wave of sharp pain through his brain.

The jarring sensation snapped Li Chen out of his dazed state.

Staring at the descending fist seal, Li Chen raised the Red Moon blade in his hand.

"Unsheathed!"

This was the Third Blade!

The third—and final—unsheathing was triggered at this moment.

In such dire circumstances, Li Chen was left with no alternatives.

For within the terrifying fist seal, he genuinely felt the looming threat of death.

"Boom!!"

Scarlet blade light collided violently with the massive fist seal, unleashing an earth-shattering noise reminiscent of a collapsing mountain.

In that same moment, the fist seal and blade light simultaneously burst apart in the air.

The explosion painted an extraordinary scene resembling a burst of fireworks, catching even Yu Manfang off guard.

"Impossible... That punch was my most powerful strike. How...how could he block it?"

Yu Manfang was unaware that Li Chen had unintentionally tapped into an Earth-level domain before—but without knowledge of its significance, he promptly retreated from it.

Li Chen’s current state was beyond the ordinary classification of martial artists.

Half-step Earth Level!

This was the most accurate assessment of Li Chen’s power for now.

Moreover, this wasn’t a facade—he was genuinely a formidable half-step Earth-level warrior.

With the dissipating remnants of the fist seal and blade light, the battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

Even Yu Manfang, when his gaze returned to Li Chen, could only look at him with a mixture of shock and apprehension.

"How could I...fall here so easily again!" Li Chen’s eyes flashed as, in the instant the blade light and fist seal shattered, his figure moved abruptly.

Unsheathed; he could only draw three blades.

And this was under the condition of utilizing only eighty percent of his True Qi.

Drawing three blades would completely drain his True Qi.

Although he was now incapable of delivering a fourth strike, he still retained a measure of combat power.

But this time, he wasn’t rushing toward Yu Manfang. Instead, he dashed toward An Qin.

Because he saw someone stealthily approaching An Qin under the cover of his duel with Yu Manfang.

"Courting death!"

Killing intent filled Li Chen’s gaze as the figure neared An Qin. At that moment, Li Chen’s blade appeared behind the would-be assailant.

"Slash!"

A blade tip emerged before An Qin.

At the same instant, a sword tip also appeared before Li Chen.

Seeing the sword tip, Li Chen momentarily froze.

As the assailant targeting An Qin collapsed, Li Chen noticed something astonishing—An Qin’s hand was now gripping Frost tightly, though he had no idea when she had drawn it.

"You were fighting in front, I couldn’t just stand here and watch." Noticing Li Chen’s slightly stunned expression, An Qin smiled faintly.

An Qin rarely smiled—like the eternal snow and ice beneath the Holy Mountain, cold enough to never thaw.

But at this moment, she smiled.

Since leaving the Holy Mountain, An Qin realized she’d shed a burden, as though the constraints binding her had disappeared. She could finally stop pretending.

No matter how strong her power was, she was still a girl.

A girl around Li Chen’s age—perhaps even younger.

Seeing An Qin’s smile, Li Chen unconsciously mirrored her expression with a smile of his own.

"Alright, together...we fight!"

Helping An Qin to her feet, Li Chen quickly turned around. Behind them, Yu Manfang had already resumed his pursuit.
