Second World-Novel

Chapter 1741 Chapter 1741. Against Three Grandmasters

?Murong wasn't flustered by Long's absurd speed. She focused her mana onto her finger and thrust forward just as Long's fist arrived. The nine suns that followed behind Long rushed forward and crashed into each other. The force of those suns multiplied with each sun getting fused. When all nine suns merged, Long's fist was wrapped in an intense ball of flames.

When the intense ball of fire came at Murong, black cold energy accumulated on the tip of her finger. This black energy turned into a giant black drill that spun forward. Its sharpness made it seem as if it could pierce everything.

The energies from the Nine Yang Exploding Suns and the Nine Yin Abyssal Finger collided. Hot and cold pushed at one another. The stalemate lasted only a second. The black energy was engulfed by the scorching sun.

Despite Murong's better control of mana manipulation, Long's higher stats from his two classes and beast form still fueled his martial art with a stronger power. Long's mastery of the ancient art also didn't lose to Murong.

Murong felt as if she was slammed by a truck and burned by a flamethrower at the same time. She yelled in pain as her body was again sent flying away.

While she was in the air, the energy from the Nine Yang Exploding Fist continued to assault her. Her Nine Yin Abyssal Finger had eliminated the power from four suns, but the remaining five suns exploded one by one on her body. When a third explosion was triggered on her body, her HP was reduced to a critical state.

Domon came behind her then. He put his palm on her back, stopping her momentum. Domon used Penetrating Wave Palm. The energy from his palm pushed the remaining nine yang energy out of Murong's body. He then used Iron Wall to protect Murong and himself from the explosion.

"Tha… Thank you…," Murong uttered.

"Drink a healing potion," Domon said. "Leave him to Wong and me."

Murong didn't object. She drank a greater healing potion and used Battle Monk's Meditate to recover her HP.

Long's Beastly Speed had ended, but he was still faster than the grandmasters. Out of the three, Wong was the fastest due to his battle monk class enhanced by the Muscle Tendon Transformation. Wong also had a super rare bloodline called the Ancient Ape Bloodline. This was a bloodline that consumed essences from humanoid monsters. This bloodline gave Wong a skill called King of the Ape. This skill caused his body to become hairy but increased all his attributes and greatly increased his speed.

When Long assaulted Murong, Wong used Fist Cannon to blow the celestial lindworm away. He then rushed to Long's back while masking his presence using mana concealment.

Unfortunately, his mastery of mana concealment wasn't at the same level as Jack's. When he was about to strike Long using White Bone Claw, Long sensed the attack.

Long's fast reaction allow his shadowless kick to land on Wong's belly before Wong's claw hit. The kick caused Wong to lose his breath. Domon's glaive came with the One-word Thrust, preventing Long from performing a follow-up attack on Wong.

With the breather, Wong's hands turned into a blur. He was using his martial art, Hundred Lightning Hands, to deal with Long's unnatural speed.

Domon adjusted his rhythm with Wong. He was also using his bloodline's skill, Wrath of the Beast. He again used Soul Pursuit Hurricane. The blade of his glaive turned numerous as it covered all of Long's escape paths. New chapters are publɪshed on NovelEnglish.net

"Hahaha! Master, this is so unlike you. The master I know would never have teamed up like this, but look at you! I wouldn't be surprised if people start calling you Domon's sidekick! Hahaha!"

"…" Wong didn't respond to Long's mocking. His hands continued to strike with ferocity.

Long's speed was fast. His arms parried the attacks with iron hand technique. But against unending barrages from two grandmasters from opposite sides, some attacks still hit. The most troubling thing was each of those hits targeted his pressure points. He felt his body become heavier and his movement dulled after receiving those hits.

His body was suddenly covered by a dark purple vest. This was his Chaos Armor. This armor not only protected him but all the constraint he felt was also gone. He stopped defending and let his opponents hit him at will. While that happened, he took a stance.

"Get back!" Domon warned as he jumped back.

Long's body erupted with a powerful shockwave. He was using his Beast Warrior level 70 skill, Beast Rage. This skill caused a damaging shockwave with the knockback effect when activated. It would then enhance the damage power of the user's next attack.

Eighteen eastern dragons charged out in all directions following the shockwave. Wong tried to block the dragons while activating Battle Monk's Steel Body to protect himself. He also activated his bloodline's second skill, Ape King Vitality. This skill greatly increased his defense and HP recovery rate for a short period.

However, the power of Long's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was enhanced by the Beast Rage. Wong's hands turned numb just from blocking the first few palms heading his way. He tried dodging the rest but three palms landed on his body. The impact force sent Wong skidding back several meters.

Wong's HP was reduced to one-fourth even with the defense boost from Steel Body and Ape King Vitality. When he finally stopped skidding, he sensed an incoming attack from behind. He moved to the side just as Long's celestial lindworm charged past.

Although Wong managed to dodge the lindworm's attack, the lindworm suddenly changed direction. The lindworm's lengthy body coiled around his body, entangling him. Its head then opened wide as it attempted to bite Wong's head.

Wong's body was entangled but he had the time to reposition his arms so they weren't entangled by the lindworm. His hands caught the lindworm's claws before they hit him. He saw the lindworm's head coming then. With his hands still gripping the lindworm's claws, he pushed the claws until they squeezed the serpent's head that was about to bite him. He held both the serpent's claws and its head in that way. The two were now contesting in strength.

Domon's fast reaction let him put a distance before Long's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was unleashed, but nine of the eastern dragons chased after him. He again used Reversing Heaven and Earth to redirect the ancient art and sent the dragons hitting the ground around him.

As soon as Domon was out of danger, he sensed Long coming at him. Long used Fist Lord's Astral Fists. Long's body zoomed toward Domon while creating multiple duplicates. The duplicates came at Domon from multiple sides. It was now Domon's turn to have all his escape paths blocked.
