Chapter 2659: Chapter 2679: Like playing close combat, huh? Come on, keep playing!

The barbarian warrior swung his giant battle axe and leapt forward, chopping down towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened; this mode of combat was quite novel.

Close-quarters combat, indeed worthy of the name warrior!

Barbarians naturally possess divine spirit, but their soul strength tends to be weak, which causes them to be at a disadvantage if their realms are the same and they confront each other with magical artifacts. Therefore, barbarian warriors prefer to fight hand-to-hand, and their magical treasures are mostly immensely heavy weapons like battle axes, iron rods, and hammers. Enhanced by their divine strength, their destructive power is terrifying.

Facing such an attack, the best strategy naturally would be to bring out the Linglong Tower, using its unbreakable properties to defend; however, considering they might be watched by spectators and fearing someone would recognize the Linglong Tower and bring disaster, Lin Chen decided not to use it.

With a wave of his hand, the Star Cloud Sword flew into his palm. His body erupted with fierce Sword Qi that surged into the Star Cloud Sword as he slashed out with it.

He employed the Sky Sword Five Moves; with his current strength, using the Sky Sword Five Moves was effortless and tremendously powerful.

The Sword Qi tore through the air, meeting the battle axe as it descended with the splitting wind and striking it hard.

Sword Qi ripped through the sky, the battle axe cleaved through the air, and a fierce explosion ensued.

Like an unstoppable river, the Sword Qi surged forward, while the battle axe stood like a boulder in its path, splintering the flow and sending water spraying across the sky.

Lin Chen’s Sky-Cleaving Sword Qi was shattered, and the battle axe plummeted, the barbarian warrior’s body flashing with radiance, like a War God.

This axe seemed as if it could split the human world in two.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow; the warrior was quite strong, probably a Middle-Grade Great Luo True Immortal, which is to say, in the Carp Dragon Realm, one realm higher than myself.

It seems the Carp Dragon Realm isn’t so easy to breach after all!

As the axe fell, countless streams of Sword Qi burst forth from Lin Chen, like flocks of birds returning to the forest, slamming into the battle axe while the Star Cloud Sword transformed into myriad points of light that continuously struck the axe.

The battle axe, as if caught in a quagmire of Sword Qi, slowed rapidly. When it was three feet from Lin Chen, the Star Cloud Sword met it head-on, stopping it completely.

It sounds long in description, but it all happened in an instant.

The battle axe fell, cleaving through the Sword Qi, and was then halted by the Star Cloud Sword.

The barbarian warrior was shocked. The opponent didn’t use a Divine Power Magical Treasure, yet just with a sword, blocked his battle axe!

This fighting style is very barbarian-like!

The other barbarian warriors also brandished their battle axes, joining the fray.

Sword Qi surged like an ocean from Lin Chen, as he sneered, "Two against one, ganging up on the solitary one?"

The first barbarian warrior scoffed, "This is the Blood Killing Formation, a life-and-death struggle, not a contest of skill. If you can, summon a few people to join you!"

Lin Chen grinned, "Alright then!"

As Lin Chen spoke, a flicker of Golden Light shot from him into the sky dome, quickly taking shape and coalescing into a towering Eight-Armed Arhat with eight arms grasping magical artifacts, enshrouded by fog, like eight dragons among the clouds.

The barbarian warriors’ eyes widened, "A Phenomenon! You are an Innate Dao Body!"

Lin Chen spoke calmly, "You like close combat, right? Come on, let’s continue to play!"

The Eight-Armed Arhat swung the magical artifacts down from midair with a thunderous crash.

No fancy moves, just one action.

Smash!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Every strike that landed felt like a small asteroid hitting the ground, fracturing the earth, shattering mountains and rivers.

The two barbarian warriors had no idea that Lin Chen would have such a powerful Phenomenon; they instantly became like red-hot iron pieces placed upon an anvil, hammered down upon relentlessly, sparks flying.

Lin Chen, now not far from the Carp Dragon Realm, with a Phenomenon whose Strength was naturally one realm higher, still completely dominated the two Carp Dragon Realm barbarian warriors in a head-on confrontation.

The two barbarian warriors, originally hoping for an easy win, found they had kicked an Iron Plate instead, vomiting blood after a round of heavy hammering.

The two, embarrassed and in pain, exchanged glances and simultaneously shouted, "Go!"

If you can’t win, run!

The two turned and fled in different directions, trying to scatter the Phenomenon’s attacks.

Lin Chen smirked coldly, thinking of escape, are you?

Lin Chen stepped forward, instantly disappearing into the void, vanishing from sight. The next second, he appeared in front of the fleeing barbarian warrior, blocking his path.

The barbarian warrior’s eyes turned red as he raised his axe and chopped down at Lin Chen.

He didn’t intend to hurt Lin Chen, only to force him back so that he could escape.

"Get out of my way!"

Lin Chen didn’t move aside; instead, he stretched out his left arm, meeting the descending giant axe and grabbing it directly.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the Sky Dome.

The barbarian warrior stared in disbelief at Lin Chen’s hand, which had grabbed the blade of the battle axe, his face a picture of incredulity.

He had actually caught the axe with his hand!

And that hand was completely unharmed!

Was his body made of iron?

No, even steel couldn’t withstand his axe; how did he manage it?
