Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 649 - Lovesickness

Chapter 649: Chapter 649 Lovesickness

“Protect!”

Confronted with Dao’s formidable counterattack, Wang Chen suddenly uttered a true word, at the same time raising his right palm to shield himself.

An almost transparent protective shield abruptly materialized.

The Heavy Light Shield Armor, as the most commonly used body protection spell by Purple Mansion cultivators, has multiple casting effects.

It could both enhance oneself and condense into a shield.

Compared to body armor, the strength of the Magical Shield was the strongest!

...

Wang Chen had long perfected this Purple Mansion tier spell to Great Perfection. He instantaneously invoked five layers of Magical Shields, each layer condensed with robust and pure mana.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The next moment, a series of fierce Wind Blades slashed onto the surface of the shield, causing a collision of two distinct forces, which made a deep rumble.

Wang Chen’s Magical Shield vibrated violently, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.

However, upon closer observation, it was mainly the first three layers of the shield that were affected, with the fourth layer suffering less impact, and the fifth layer remaining completely undisturbed.

It was clear that Dao’s spell attack could not breach his defense.

But Dao’s true trump card was the tiger tail he swung and lashed towards Wang Chen!

Whiz~

The long tiger tail cut through the air like lightning, emitting a strange whistling sound, and brutally struck Wang Chen’s Magical Shield right after the Wind Blades.

Bang!

The force of this strike was so ferocious that even Wang Chen couldn’t fully withstand it.

The Magical Shield he held in his right-hand burst open suddenly, and he involuntarily recoiled backwards for over a dozen steps.

He only stopped when he reached the edge of the forbidden boundary!

Impressive!

Wang Chen glanced at his right palm, only to see a pale mark had appeared on it.

The base of his thumb was slightly numb.

To know that his Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method had been cultivated to the seventh tier, he had attained the Vajra Undying Body, and his Body Refinement was so strong it was comparable to a Golden Core. Even ordinary Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts would barely scratch him.

Many low-tier spells were simply ineffective against Wang Chen.

Dao’s strike was indeed very powerful!

In reality, the one truly shocked at this moment was Dao. He couldn’t imagine how a cultivator of the same tier could remain completely unharmed while taking his strike that was sure to hit.

Especially a strike with all his might after activating his ancient bloodline!

As Dao was momentarily stunned, an indifferent voice arose beside his ear, “Fellow Daoist, please take this move!”

To come without returning is not the way of hospitality!

Wang Chen’s counterattack was a sword strike, the Sword from Dragon Abyss!

A gentle Sword Light illuminated Dao’s tiger eyes in an instant.

He subconsciously widened his eyes, as if seeing something inconceivable. His eyes, originally full of fierceness, anger, and pain, suddenly softened.

The Purple Mansion cultivator who had transformed into a tiger opened his mouth weakly and uttered two words: “Chunni…”

Chunni was the pet name of Dao’s childhood sweetheart and was also the deepest secret and tenderness buried in his heart.

Since stepping onto the path of warfare, Dao thought that he, immersed in bloodlust, had erased all traces of his former innocence.

The woman he once loved the most had become a very tiny symbol in his memories.

A symbol consisting only of two words.

Yet at this moment, Dao realized he was wrong, horribly wrong.

He had never forgotten his childhood sweetheart, nor the times they had spent together.

Scenes of the past emerged before Dao’s eyes, and his expression softened, making even the scars on his face appear gentler.

Turns out, lovesickness had long since penetrated deep into the bone!

Hiss~

The pain from his throat suddenly snapped Dao back to reality.

He looked down in astonishment, only to find a long gash appeared on his throat.

Bright red blood gushed forth!

He had been struck by the sword!

Dao belatedly realized that he had lost.

“Impressive swordsmanship,”

he muttered his praise softly.

The Sword Intent contained within that strike had not only shattered his fighting spirit and killing intent, but it also stirred the deepest memories within his Divine Soul.

Dao heaved a sigh.

Bloody wounds simultaneously appeared on his chest, abdomen, and limbs.

Each wound was deep to the bone!

The blood soaked his tiger skin, painting a tragically grim picture.

Within just a few moments, Dao slumped to the ground, his once proud tiger head drooping, his gaze becoming increasingly dim.

It was clear to anyone that he was at the end of his rope.

At this time, Wang Chen, with sword in hand, did not deliver a second blow.

It was unnecessary.

Dao’s closed eyes suddenly snapped open again, and he summoned his last ounce of strength to lift his head and ask, “What do you call that sword move?”

“Lovesickness,”

Wang Chen replied, “The Lovesickness Sword.”

“I see.”

Dao closed his eyes again, murmuring to himself, “So this is what lovesickness is…”

His voice and breath grew fainter and fainter until they were unperceivable.

The blood on Dao’s body and on the ground suddenly ignited, the intense flames engulfing his half-man, half-beast form in an instant, reducing him to ashes.

“Dust to dust, earth to earth, may the departed soul return to the thick soil…”

Wang Chen recited the Rebirth Mantra in his heart.

He was a worthy opponent; if it weren’t for the deployment of the Lovesickness Sword Technique, the fight could not have ended so swiftly—Dao certainly had more tricks up his sleeve!

Indeed, Wang Chen’s mastery of the Lovesickness Sword Technique was, at present, merely at an introductory level.

This sword technique, taught to him by Chang Chun back in the day, was incredibly difficult to cultivate, taking him nearly two years to grasp even the basics.

His induction was due to his romantic fate with Xu Xinlan!

Love is unpredictable, and though Wang Chen was not heartless, he was not foolishly infatuated either—otherwise, he would not have come to the Haotian Realm alone.

Without obsession, how could one experience lovesickness?

Thus, Wang Chen’s cultivation of this sword technique was extremely challenging.

He had only recently made some headway.

Yet, even an introductory Lovesickness Sword was enough to slice away a formidable enemy’s Divine Soul and will!

After reciting the Rebirth Mantra for Dao, Wang Chen proceeded to cast several self-made Heavenly Secrets Talismans, as was his custom.

He was not afraid of destiny’s calculations; he did not need the talismans.

But using them was better, as it helped to conceal his presence even more.

Shortly after, Wang Chen recovered the bodies of Hu Qi and Zhu Jiu, plundering the Magical Treasures and wealth they had on them before setting them ablaze.

The harvest turned out to be quite substantial.

These two had been accustomed to banding together, often bullying the lowest-ranked prison guards, and extorting newcomers was as routine for them as eating—over time, they naturally accumulated a fortune.

People die for wealth, and birds die for food; cultivators are no different.

After destroying the bodies and erasing all traces, Wang Chen continued his search for a way out.

This time the Yongle Dungeon suffered a significant issue; the Forbidden Prison Department was likely in turmoil, everything below was in complete disarray.

Wang Chen searched all over, exerting great effort to clear a blocked tunnel.

That’s when he bumped into a group of prison guards who had organized themselves.

He naturally joined the group.

The subsequent events were difficult to summarize—in the process of jointly seeking a way to survive, the team was rife with arguments and complaints, no one accepted anyone else’s authority, and there was an absolute lack of camaraderie.

Luckily, the group’s luck was not too bad.
