Chapter 990: Chain Ocean

Wind whipped up the bottom of a jet black robe, the blood red piping along the hem of it swirling back and forth in the wind like the motion of a cobra. The ruby eyes of the lithe man showed a level of ruthless cunning that was enough to strike fear into the hearts of most who looked into them. They showed the vicious force of will that this man carried within and it was dark enough to send a quiver up the spine.

Across the windswept plateau, a man with golden eyes and a jade green robe was already in a combat stance. His right arm was wrapped in a black vine with purple thorns that were shaped like large hooked claws. Behind him there was a group of eight wearing black robes that were slit up the sides and belted around the waist. Their limbs and head were covered by a suit of dark purple padded armor, of a quilted style, the thick layers covering them from head to toe with the black robe merely draped over the top. Only their eyes were barely visible and they stared at the man facing off against the nine of them. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Surrender, Chu Shuai. Turn over the Diamond Cloud Raindrop that you owe to the Dream Dealer.

Chu Shuais lip lifted on one side and he started to lift both hands, palms up, from his sides, like he was starting to conduct a symphony. As he moved, a swirl of red flame appeared behind him, slowly spinning in a vertical disc shape. Then his hands stopped, and he looked down at his slightly curled fingers with awe, Youll be the perfect test for my new strength.

Or at least it looked like a headbutt. At the last second, the viper-shaped head of the purple aura around their body shifted. The mouth of the viper opened and exposed the face area of the person underneath. The mask on the lower half of their face tore open and revealed a serpentine lower jaw. This scaled mouth was already opened wide from the motion of breaking off the mask, but then suddenly their chin suddenly widened, the protrusions of bone showing that it split apart in the center. The lower jaw spread and swung backwards so the upper row of teeth had nothing stopping them from slamming against Shuai. Two large fangs flipped forward and then plunged into the mans shoulder like a pair of daggers, injecting a dose of venom into the mans body for just an instant before Shuai pulled away. Bleeding heavily, the four fiery red lines uncoiled from the purple armored person and swung through the air like tentacles to bat away the strikes that followed. Shuai bought some room to breathe and took a pill, consuming it to heal the injury and try to suppress the venom coursing through his body.

At the same time, this defensive action finally showed off what Shuai was using. The red lines of fire were actually Qi that had been formed into the links of a chain. The fire natured Qi and fast movements had hidden the shape but now that it was moving slowly to ward off attacks the chains could be seen clearly moving.

Except, this was only one of the nine battles that was going on at this moment. In one of the others, Shuai was being pushed back as the purple armored person was using the viper shaped aura over their hands to rapidly strike at each of the chains that swept towards them. The purple aura around their body was continuously shrinking, but the Shuai was being pushed back. The two of them seemed to be competing in a battle of Qi attrition. In another battle, the opposite was true, the purple armored person was rapidly dodging and evading a dozen different fiery red chains that were flailing around rapidly like a thresher. It formed an unending tide of attacks that came from every angle, giving the purple armored person so much pressure that they were struck multiple times every second, slowly cracking and crumbling the purple aura that covered them. Each of the fights were proceeding at a different pace and with different results, but they were incomparable to the main confrontation.

In the center of the plateau the most volatile battle was raging, causing enough disruption that the other battles were pushed away to keep from suffering an injury from their own allies.
