Fang Chen was determined to kill Song Donglai, who was hailed as the number one of the younger generation in the Great Zhao Kingdom. Without uttering a word, his pale hand shot out, and a surge of dark energy swirled in his palm, transforming into a vast expanse of Qi Energy that shot into the air. It quickly morphed into an illusory Black Giant Palm, crashing down towards Song Donglai's crown, releasing a chilling aura that spread instantly.
At that moment, he held nothing back, unleashing his full combat power. As the illusory Black Giant Palm descended upon Song Donglai, shadows flickered beneath Fang Chen's feet. Simultaneously, clouds and mist swirled around him, making him appear like a deity.
With each step he took, the ground trembled slightly, a terrifying and mysterious rhythm rising beneath him, causing many hearts to race as if they might leap from their chests, accompanied by a thunderous roar echoing in their minds.
Puff, puff, puff...
In that instant, the crowd surrounding Fang Chen was drawn in by this mysterious rhythm. Many turned pale and suddenly spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Bang! Not far from the crowd where Azure Vine and his companions stood, a cloud of blood mist erupted. Azure Vine, already severely injured and on the brink of collapse, was completely obliterated by Fang Chen's indiscriminate wave of power, showering Qin Bai and Chu Zonghe beside him with dark red blood.
"How terrifying! Is this his true power?" Someone murmured in awe as they watched Fang Chen advance with an unparalleled presence.
"Since you seek death, I shall grant it," Song Donglai replied coldly in response to Fang Chen's overwhelming attack.
He was the foremost figure among the younger generation of the Great Zhao Kingdom, regarded as a mythical existence with exceptional combat prowess.
With a flick of his sleeve, he seemed to descend from the heavens like an immortal. An inexplicable aura surged around him as he transformed into a streak of blue light, swiftly surpassing the limits of the Body Refinement Realm just in time to evade Fang Chen's Black Giant Palm.
"You run fast; weren't you going to make me take my own life? Can you only talk big?" Fang Chen sneered, using words to provoke Song Donglai.
While speaking, he did not remain idle; stepping forward, he instantly appeared beside Song Donglai, who had just narrowly avoided the Black Giant Palm.
"So this is what they call the number one of the younger generation? Ignorant, arrogant, dismissive—are you really self-proclaimed?" Fang Chen said lightly as he pointed at him without any embellishment.
"Ignorance breeds fearlessness," Song Donglai replied with a cold smile. He admitted that under Fang Chen's continuous taunts, he had become angry. Accustomed to being revered and looked up to by others, it had been a long time since he felt such mockery.
His palm trembled slightly as severe Qi Energy erupted from it, transforming into small serpents that danced around his hand. The hissing of these serpents echoed through the air.
"This is... Thousand Serpent Palm!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
This was an extremely powerful and sinister palm technique not found in Qixiao Sect's martial arts. It was said that Song Donglai had acquired it after slaying an evil martial artist during his travels. Once someone was struck by the Qi Energy of Thousand Serpent Palm, they would endure pain akin to being bitten by a thousand snakes. Clearly enraged, Song Donglai intended to give Fang Chen a proper welcome.
At that moment, Song Donglai's expression changed, and a destructive aura suddenly enveloped him. Fang Chen's fingertip seemed to transform into an incredibly sharp weapon, and the chilling atmosphere in the air seemed to converge into that single finger. The closer one got, the more terrifying the power of that finger became.
"What kind of combat technique is this?!" A rare look of shock appeared on Song Donglai's otherwise calm face.
The illusory Black Giant Palm, akin to a divine being's supreme movement technique, along with this current finger technique. In just a few breaths, this person who had suddenly emerged from a remote area within the Great Zhao Kingdom had displayed three powerful combat techniques in succession, each one more formidable than the last, and all of which he had never seen before!
"This is the combat technique meant to kill you," Fang Chen replied coldly.
He certainly could not tell Song Donglai that these were powerful techniques he had mastered in his previous life, most of which he had acquired during his quest for revenge from the mysterious Rivals of the Fang Family. Such techniques were extremely rare within the Great Zhao Kingdom and might not have even appeared until now.
"Chirp chirp..."
A faint sound echoed as Fang Chen's fingertip sliced through the air, causing the serpentine Severe Qi Energy swirling in Song Donglai's palm to begin collapsing one by one.
Before Fang Chen's fingers even reached him, his Thousand Serpent Palm was already starting to disintegrate, and a sharp pain was beginning to radiate from his palm.
"This strike cannot be taken head-on; retreat!" Song Donglai stomped heavily on the ground to halt his advance and attempted to back away.
However, having unleashed all his power from the start and directly employing three combat techniques, how could he allow his carefully planned strike to go to waste?
"Trying to escape? Impossible!" Fang Chen shouted coldly. With a flip of his hand, he sent a massive tombstone flying out to block Song Donglai's retreat.
Multitasking, with one hand executing a powerful combat technique, Fang Chen once again redefined what it meant to be a Freak in everyone's minds.
The tombstone temporarily obstructed Song Donglai's retreating figure. At the same time, Fang Chen's extremely Severe sword energy heavily struck Song Donglai's Thousand Serpent Palm.
"Ding!"
Though it was a collision between two forces, it produced a sound like metal clashing. The impact forced Song Donglai to crash through the tombstone behind him and stagger backward.
From Fang Chen extending the illusory Black Giant Palm to now forcing Song Donglai back, everything happened too quickly. Onlookers were left bewildered and unable to keep up with their speed. After the initial moments, they could only see two figures moving rapidly without distinguishing who was who until now when Song Donglai was pushed back by Fang Chen.
"Impossible! He... he actually forced my senior brother back?" Qin Bai's face was filled with disbelief as he murmured to himself, feeling as if a myth in his heart was slowly crumbling.
"Is this guy's strength really at this level?" Li Tian's gaze was fixed on Fang Chen, his face filled with deep shock.
Having fought against Song Donglai, he knew exactly what kind of monster the latter was! Even with five Human Powers, they could only barely contend with him; driving him back was out of the question. Yet now, Fang Chen had actually managed to achieve this with just one Human Power.
Is this guy even human?
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
As everyone was stunned, a faint sound suddenly broke the silence.
Hiss... The sound of people gasping filled the air as they watched blood dripping from Song Donglai's right hand, which hung at his waist.
"I actually got injured." He raised his hand and looked at a wound the size of a fingernail that nearly penetrated his entire palm, murmuring to himself.
He couldn't remember the last time he had been injured. And this time, it was from someone who was at the same level as him and even a few years younger, a guy who seemed to have popped up from some small corner.
This is intolerable!
"Very well, since you've made me feel what it's like to be injured again, I will use all my strength to completely annihilate you," Song Donglai said calmly, a hint of indifference appearing on his exceptionally handsome face.
Indifference represented absolute confidence.
Until now, he hadn't used all of his power!
"I told you Fang Chen couldn't possibly drive Brother back; it turns out Brother hasn't even used his full strength yet. That guy is doomed now," Qin Bai said excitedly.
"Is he going to use that thing?" Li Tian's eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement on his otherwise grim face.
"Truly worthy of being the number one; he hasn't even unleashed his full power until now. It seems Fang Chen is in danger," someone in the crowd remarked.
Many people's gazes flickered as they began to retreat further. To them, Fang Chen and Song Donglai seemed to belong to entirely different realms. The disparity in their powers was so extreme that even the residual waves from their clash were enough to instill fear in them.
"Next, I will show you what true terror is," Song Donglai said calmly. His pure black eyes suddenly began to swirl. A terrifying aura gradually spread from him; the once celestial presence now felt as if it were transforming into something demonic!
"You're really full of nonsense," Fang Chen replied coldly.
However, on his stern face, a hint of seriousness suddenly emerged at that moment, as he remained cautious and vigilant. Regarding the person before him, who had swept through the younger generation of the Great Zhao Kingdom and was hailed as a mythical figure, he felt no fear but also did not underestimate him, for that would be an extremely foolish thing to do.
"I hope you can remain this cold-hearted later," Song Donglai said with a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.
As soon as his words fell, two intense bursts of Black Radiance suddenly erupted from his pupils. The Black Radiance did not shoot towards Fang Chen; instead, it circled around Song Donglai's body before colliding together in front and behind him.
Boom!
The two bursts of Black Radiance collided with each other, unleashing an unparalleled darkness that instantly engulfed both Song Donglai and Fang Chen.
Seeing the current Mutation, Lian Yiyue's expression changed as she suddenly recalled a certain rumor. She fixed her gaze on the massive darkness that enveloped the direction where Fang Chen and Song Donglai had disappeared.
"This is... the Eye of the Netherworld!"
