Chapter 93: The Butcher, Shen Hongtu

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: The Butcher, Shen Hongtu"Boom boom boom boom..." Nine sounds rang out as nine Cultivators erupted in dazzling Spiritual Power light, immediately filling the Battle Platform with vibrant colors. "Attack!" Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The leading Cultivator gave the command. Instantly, nine mid-grade Attack Profound Spirit Techniques were almost simultaneously unleashed! "Floating Shadow Finger!" "Black Tiger Fist!" "Shattering Moon Palm!" ... Nine Profound Spirit Techniques, whether finger, palm or fist prints, diverse and numerous, all bombarding towards Ling Chen. "How powerful!" Many in the crowd revealed a look of horror. With nine attacks, even an early-stage Spirit Sea Realm six-layer would not be confident to withstand them. This person, merely at the early-stage Spirit Sea Realm four-layer, could he really take them? Among those present, only Chen Mo remained utterly calm, no trace of tension on his face. He knew that if Ling Chen could defeat Bai Wentian, then these attacks would be no concern for Ling Chen at all! Everyone’s gazes were drawn to Ling Chen. They wanted to see how "Zero" would handle these nine attacks from different directions! However, to the shock of the crowd, Ling Chen seemed not to use any Profound Spirit Techniques, his hands even leisurely clasped behind his back. "Is he seeking death?" Many people’s eyes bulged with disbelief, not understanding why Ling Chen would do this. Could he be planning to use his physical body to resist these attacks? This was the only reasonable explanation people could come up with. Outside of that, they were at a loss. "What is Ling Chen doing?" At this moment, Chen Mo could not remain calm either. If these attacks landed on Ling Chen, just being severely injured would be considered light, he might even lose his life. However, since Ling Chen had signed the life-and-death agreement, even the True Martial Academy could do nothing about it. The nine Cultivators were also stunned; they had never seen a challenger who let attacks strike them like this! But there was no regret or guilt in their hearts. This was the Battlefield, where life and death were destined! Nine differently colored attacks landed on Ling Chen’s body almost at the same time, and many even closed their eyes. Not dodging, not evading, not even protecting his body with Spiritual Power, this was simply courting death! "Bang bang bang..." At that moment, nine muffled sounds emerged. Then, everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene. A black shield appeared on the surface of Ling Chen’s body, causing all nine mid-grade Profound Spirit Techniques that struck it to completely disperse. "How is this possible?" The watching Cultivators gaped with a look of seeing a ghost. Even Chen Mo was taken aback for several moments. "Defensive Profound Spirit Technique!" Chen Mo incredulously uttered these five words. Only a Defensive Profound Spirit Technique could have such formidable defensive power! "Hall Master, come quickly and take a look, something big has happened!" A Black-robed Deacon rushed into the highest floor of the Battle Holy Hall, where the Hall Master’s office was located. "What is this commotion!" A middle-aged man in brocade robe glared. "Hall Master, something big really happened! A Cultivator named Ling Chen at the early-stage of Spirit Sea Realm four-layer, he actually withstood the combined attack of nine Cultivators at the Spirit Sea Realm five-layer!" The Black-robed Deacon hastily reported. "What’s there to fuss about? Does this kid possess a Spiritual Body?" The Hall Master pondered for a moment and then smiled. Being able to battle beyond his level, it was almost certain he had some special physique. "No. He doesn’t have any special physique!" The Black-robed Deacon shook his head: "The technique he used appears to be a Defensive Profound Spirit Technique!" "Defensive Profound Spirit Technique? Is he from the Royal Capital?" The Hall Master immediately stood up. Only the Royal Family and the Eight Great Families in the Royal Capital possessed Defensive Profound Spirit Techniques. Even the True Martial Academy did not have it. "I’m not clear about his origins, just that he is an external disciple of the True Martial Academy!" The Black-robed Deacon said. "Take me to see him!" The Hall Master quickly ordered. If a genius from the Royal Family or one of the Eight Great Families were here, we definitely can’t let them get hurt here. Otherwise, with their overbearing nature, they would surely flatten our Battle Holy Hall! "Hall Master, that’s the kid!" The Black-robed Deacon pointed to the Battle Platform where Ling Chen was. "Alright, I know." The Hall Master waved his hand dismissively. On the Battle Platform. The nine Cultivators facing Ling Chen were all dumbfounded, never having seen such a bizarre situation before! Their combined attack of nine people didn’t even harm a single hair on him? Am I dreaming? "Ah!" Someone pinched their thigh hard; the familiar pain reassured him that he wasn’t dreaming. The peculiar scene before his eyes was real! "What is that black shield?" The leading Cultivator at the late stage of the fifth layer asked incredulously. It was hard to believe that a black shield could withstand the combined attack of nine people. It was really unbelievable. "You don’t deserve to know." Ling Chen smiled faintly. Of course, these people couldn’t see Ling Chen’s expression, because his face was completely hidden behind the mask, with only two eyes showing. A guy who can’t even break through his Defensive Profound Spirit Technique, what right does he have to know about the Xuanwu Shield? "Kid, you!" The leading Cultivator at the late stage of the fifth layer said coldly. But he was helpless. A nine-person combined attack couldn’t break Ling Chen’s defense, so how could they continue to fight? "We concede." In the end, he could only choose to concede. The nine people stepped down from the Battle Platform. Ling Chen smiled and said, "At least you know what’s good for you!" Everyone around was even more shocked to see that a joint attack by nine people had forced them into conceding. "Ling Chen’s twentieth opponent, Shen Hongtu of the Spirit Sea Realm, mid-sixth layer!" A voice announced. "What, the Butcher, Shen Hongtu?" Many people exclaimed. Shen Hongtu was known as the Butcher because anyone who faced him met only one fate: death, without exception! That’s why he got the nicknames of Butcher! Then, a young man in a red robe appeared on the Battle Platform. "Nonsense! Who arranged for him to go up?" The Hall Master’s face changed when he saw Shen Hongtu step up. The surrounding Stewards suddenly became silent as cicadas in winter. Now that Shen Hongtu had already taken the stage, even a substitution would be too late! "Notify Shen Hongtu not to deliver a killing blow!" The Hall Master immediately ordered. "Yes." A Steward accepted the order and left. If a gifted disciple from the Royal Family or one of the Eight Great Families died here, their Battle Holy Hall would probably be razed to the ground. Quickly, that Steward came back with a gloomy face and reported, "Hall Master, Shen Hongtu has shut off his Communication Token." "What?" The Hall Master’s complexion drastically changed. He kicked over the Steward, then roared, "What the hell are you still doing standing there, why aren’t you rushing over to the Battle Platform this instant, ready to intervene and save Ling Chen at a moment’s notice!" "Yes, yes, yes." Everyone immediately set off to carry out the order. The Hall Master rarely got angry, but today’s level of anger showed that the matter was extremely serious! On the Battle Platform. Ling Chen looked at the young man in the red robe in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly, then his eyes firmed, a trace of solemnity appearing in his gaze. The young man’s robe was originally white, but the reason it turned red was because it was dyed with blood! No wonder this man carried such a murderous aura! So that was the reason!
