Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043
Lin Chen looked at the girl in front of him and smiled faintly, "Ashi, why are you here?"
Ashi's beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Chen, "You made such a big commotion in the Island Nation, I had to come."
Lin Chen gave an awkward smile, "I accidentally provoked an old monster."
"You fool, of all people to provoke, you had to choose him." Ashi shook her head helplessly.
"Do you know him?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, seeing Ashi's expression.
"We are from the same school." Ashi said solemnly.
"From the same school?" Lin Chen frowned.
Ashi smiled faintly, "Technically, I should call him Martial Uncle, but don't worry, my master has always been at odds with the War God, so I do wish you could defeat him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ashi flipped her wrist, and the knife in her hand stabbed toward Lin Chen like a bolt of lightning.
Ashi suddenly launched an attack, and Lin Chen's expression changed drastically.
This knife seemed ordinary, but Lin Chen felt a chilling murderous intent.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Just as the knife in Ashi's hand was only a few centimeters away from Lin Chen, a sudden change occurred.
The knife light flashed and suddenly exploded, transforming into nearly a hundred blade lights.
In almost one second, hundreds of blade lights enveloped Lin Chen.
The flashes of the blades shimmered, wood chips flew, and the several waist-thick trees behind Lin Chen were instantly chopped into several pieces.
A shadow flashed, and Lin Chen appeared several meters away.
At this time, sweat had already appeared on Lin Chen's forehead.
Just now, Ashi's seemingly ordinary knife was too strong. Even a slight delay might have resulted in Lin Chen being sliced into pieces by a hundred blade lights.
"This knife is the Apocalyptic Blade. I've now practiced it to the initial stage; one slash can transform into a hundred blades. If I'm not wrong, the War God should have practiced it to the intermediate stage, where one slash turns into a thousand blades." Ashi said casually.
"What? One slash into a thousand blades." Lin Chen's face changed drastically. It was already extremely difficult for him to dodge a hundred blades. If it were a thousand, it would be nearly impossible for Lin Chen.
Ashi continued, "The horror of the War God isn't just that. If you want to flee now, there's still time."
"Flee? Do you think I would run away?" Lin Chen said with a faint smile.
"But you'll die." Ashi stared tightly at Lin Chen, anxious.
"On the path of martial arts, there's no turning back. No progress means retreat. I have to accept this fight." Lin Chen said solemnly.
"You fool, don't you understand the gap between you and the War God? You're courting death!" Ashi said angrily.
"Not necessarily! What if I luckily win?" Lin Chen's lips curled into a smile.
"You, I'll leave you to it, dead or alive, saves me the trouble." Ashi stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.
Watching Ashi's back, a sense of heaviness flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.
Ashi, thank you. Without you, I might really have died here from that unavoidable killing move.
Lin Chen's body flickered into the Time Tower, his eyes slightly closed, "Xiaoshuai, replay Ashi's slow-motion Apocalyptic Blade for me."
"No problem, Master!"
At this moment, Ashi's Apocalyptic Blade appeared in his mind like a slowed-down movie, gradually transforming and integrating into Lin Chen's sword moves.
Throughout the night, Lin Chen didn't rest, continuously practicing Ashi's Apocalyptic Blade technique.
The Thunder Sword in Lin Chen's hand suddenly swung, a sword light flashed.
The sword light exploded in mid-air, transforming into dozens of sword lights.
"Still not enough." Looking at the exploding sword light, Lin Chen shook his head in disappointment.
As the morning light shot into the forest, the sky gradually brightened.
A figure flickered as Lin Chen returned to the forest from the Tianyan space.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, with a bit of confidence in his eyes.
"War God, I want to see just how powerful you are, the War God of the Island Nation."
The martial arts world of the Island Nation was drawn to this great battle.
The War God had once washed the Island Nation in blood, yet now a mysterious young man dared to challenge him.
In many people's eyes, Lin Chen's action was like a moth to a flame, seeking death.
Even so, martial artists from all factions of the Island Nation gathered under Mount Fuji to witness the War God's prowess.
Lin Chen returned to the villa where many people were already standing at the door.
Yamamoto, Ye Zi, Jia Xiaoqing, and top members of Yamamoto's group and Sakura society were all standing at the entrance.
There was a look of seriousness and worry on their faces.
This battle concerns not only Lin Chen's life and death but also the survival of the two major organizations.
Lin Chen, dressed in sportswear with a youthful appearance, looked more like a college student than a martial arts expert.
However, when Lin Chen approached, everyone showed a respectful look.
Daring to challenge the Island Nation's War God, regardless of victory or defeat, was enough to earn their admiration.
Lin Chen glanced over everyone and smiled faintly, "Alright, let's go!"
Lin Chen said as he got into the Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance.
These past few days, Lin Chen always felt his cultivation was only a paper-thin distance from the Intermediate Void God Realm, but he couldn't break through that layer.
Last time, through Xiaoshuai, Lin Chen had already detected that the War God's strength was at the Intermediate Void God Realm. Although there's a one-level gap, with his Five Elements attribute, he wasn't afraid of the War God at all.
Under Mount Fuji, a large crowd had already gathered, coming from various forces and schools of the Island Nation martial arts world.
The War God was a legendary figure in the hearts of many. Some even idolized him from childhood, so seeing him take action today filled them with intense anticipation.
Many were also curious about who dared have the courage to challenge the War God.
In the crowd's anticipation, more than a dozen luxury cars raced in and stopped at the foot of the mountain.
The car doors opened, and a dozen men in black suits stepped out first, parting the crowd to make a path.
Ichikuma Chida hurriedly got out of a car, came to a Lincoln, and respectfully opened the car door.
An elder in Island Nation's warrior garb slowly stepped out.
Seeing the elder emerge, the surroundings of the arena erupted in excitement.
Especially the Island Nation martial artists, one by one, they were excited, showing fervent expressions.
The War God was mythical in the Island Nation martial arts world, many young people even idolizing him.
"Oh my God, is that the War God? It's amazing, I've seen his photos, it's been forty years, and he hasn't changed a bit."
"He looks quite kind. It's hard to imagine that forty years ago, he slaughtered over a dozen factions on the Island Nation!"
"It's ridiculous, that clueless Hua Xia martial artist dares to challenge the War God, what an idiot."
The onlooking Island Nation martial artists were all thrilled, even forgetting that forty years ago, this killing demon once bathed the Island Nation in blood.
