Chapter 49 - 49: Fighting With Guards
An hour later.
Su Chen and Ye Ruxue reached the top of the mountain one after the other.
After arriving here, Su Chen appeared as calm as usual and showed no sign of fatigue.
On the other hand, Ye Ruxue’s delicate body was trembling slightly. Her smooth forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and even her face was much paler.
It was obvious that she was having a hard time walking the Self Questioning Stairs.
After all, she only brought back the memories but not the cultivation and spiritual power of her previous life after her rebirth.
“Young Master Su, on the top, there are two… Be careful!”
Ye Ruxue wanted to tell Su Chen about the dangers here.
However, before she could finish her sentence, danger had already come.
Boom!
A beam of light shot toward Su Chen.
The beam of light was like a bolt of lightning. Wherever it passed, the void would shatter, shining out with great brilliance.
“Hmm?”
Su Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. He slowly raised his palm, wanting to seize the beam of light.
Buzz…
His palm glowed with golden light. He grabbed at the beam of light and exerted force with his five fingers.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the beam of light was crushed by him.
After he took this blow, a towering bronze gate not far away slowly opened.
A man of imposing stature strode out of the hall.
His entire body emitted a fierce aura and carried a powerful sense of oppression. At a glance, one could tell that this man was extremely terrifying.
The only surprising thing was that his eyes were abnormally gray and lifeless, like a walking puppet.
“This is the guard of the hall. As long as we defeat him, we will be fine. However, there should be two guards in this hall. I don’t know where the other one is hiding…”
Ye Ruxue said quickly.
Each of these two guards was a God Altar Realm warrior.
If she still pretended not to know anything to hide the secrets of her previous life at this time, it would undoubtedly be irresponsible for her and Su Chen’s lives.
“The other one has already appeared!”
Su Chen glanced at Ye Ruxue and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and quickly came to Ye Ruxue’s side. He curled his one hand around her slender waist, clenched his other hand into a fist, and then suddenly smashed it into the air.
Boom!
Two fists collided in the air, creating a deafening sound.
The entire peak began to tremble at this moment.
A terrifying aftershock spread out.
Su Chen stood where he was and did not move at all. On the contrary, the figure in the sky retreated dozens of meters.
“This…”
Ye Ruxue had a shocked expression on her beautiful face. Her mouth was slightly agape as she stared at the scene before her and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
These two guards had their own areas of expertise.
One specialized in speed, while the other specialized in strength.
In her previous life, when she came here, she had spent a lot of time barely defeating the two of them.
But now, Su Chen actually averted the attacks of the two guards so easily!
This was simply unbelievable!
After recovering from her shock, Ye Ruxue finally realized that she was still in Su Chen’s arms.
A masculine aura rushed into her nose, causing her pretty face to blush slightly.
“Back off so 1 can protect you.”
Su Chen put Ye Ruxue down and said in a deep voice.
To fight with two God Altar Realm puppets, even Su Chen, who was invincible in his realm and could fight across realms, had to be cautious.
“Alright.”
Ye Ruxue nodded gently.
After coming out of Su Chen’s arms, she suddenly felt a sense of loss.
In her previous life, no matter what happened, she had to shoulder it all by herself.
In her two lives, this was the first time she was protected in someone’s arms.
That wonderful feeling lingered in her heart for a long time.
While she was still in a daze, Su Chen attacked again.
He took a step forward and his body swayed.
At this moment, he unleashed the full power of Phantom Moon.
Every step he took left behind an afterimage on the spot. His terrifying speed made people’s hearts jump.
Buzz…
Su Chen clenched his fist loosely, and a three-foot-long sword that was flashing with a cold light appeared in his hand.
With a slight shake, the sword immediately shone with divine light, and the terrifying sword aura magnified in an instant.
“Star Shattering Sword Art!”
Su Chen shouted.
A three-meter-tall sword aura seemed to act upon some will of heaven and earth as it slashed straight at the tall man in the front.
“Ugh!”
The man of imposing stature did not want to be outdone and let out an inhuman roar.
A small lamp appeared in his hand. The small lamp shot out a scorching light, instantly illuminating the mountaintop.
The bright light met the sword aura in Su Chen’s hand.
Boom!
The two collided, and the small lamp was instantly shattered.
After Su Chen broke through to the second level of the Qi Sea Realm, his strength reached a terrifying level.
Even if the man in front of Su Chen was a God Altar Realm warrior, he was still not Su Chen’s match.
Bang!
The man was instantly thrown away.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t strong enough, but that he was simply inferior to Su Chen.
“Whoosh!”
The sound of something slicing through the air came.
The other puppet held a long blade and slashed at the back of Su Chen’s head.
This attack was powerful and heavy. Before the blade landed, an ear-piercing sound was heard.
Not far away, Ye Ruxue had a few spirit stones in her hand. She was about to set up a formation to help Su Chen trap and kill the two guards.
However, before she could set up the formation, Su Chen turned his long sword upside down, and the terrifying sword energy clashed with the long blade with the power to destroy everything.
“Clang!”
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
The puppet wielding the long blade instantly flew off.
Su Chen crouched down and then soared into the sky, quickly chasing after him.
He was like an ancient war god that had just awakened. His black hair was loose, and his gaze was sharp. As a Level Two Qi Sea Realm cultivator, he could squash the two God Altar Realm puppets.
“What terrifying strength!”
Ye Ruxue stood in the distance and looked at Su Chen, who was fighting. She was secretly shocked.
Back when she was at the Qi Sea Realm, she didn’t even have such a powerful strength.
“No!”
Ye Ruxue’s pupils suddenly contracted as if she had thought of something. She muttered softly, “A battle across realms… Had he stepped into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm?”
It was only then that she thought of the Forbidden Stage.
“I should have thought of it earlier… If he continues like this, he will at least reach the Saint Realm in the future!”
Ye Ruxue muttered with a serious expression.
It was not impossible for him to become a supreme if he was given some opportunities!
It might be difficult for Su Chen to find some opportunities on his own but don’t forget that Ye Ruxue had memories of her previous life.
These memories contained the whereabouts of many opportunities. As long as she casually told Su Chen a few of them, it would be difficult for him not to succeed!
Perhaps, in this life, they wouldn’t be fated to be apart like the previous life.
Ye Ruxue continued to watch the battle, only to see Su Chen getting more and more aggressive.
His aptitude was completely different from his previous life!
