Free Web NovelChapter 68: Chapter 68: Stop, My Ass! We Agreed to a Life-and-Death Battle
A powerful, scorching aura swirled around Chen Xuan. His muscles bulged and veins popped, making him look like a fiery demon. His sharp gaze, like twin blades, was fixed on Li Canghai.
Everyone in the courtyard wore looks of shock and disbelief.
’What is this man saying?’
’He wants to challenge Elder Li?’
’Elder Li is a genuine Gang Energy Realm elder.’
’He holds a high position and wields immense power!’
’What gives him the nerve to provoke a Gang Energy master?’
"You little bastard, it seems I’ve underestimated you!"
Li Canghai laughed in fury. "I thought you only dared to challenge me in the great hall because you had Li Changsheng backing you. I never imagined you’d have such a death wish, still daring to challenge me now. You little bastard, if I don’t show you a glimpse of my true power, you’ll actually think I’m afraid of you, won’t you?"
"Enough nonsense. A duel to the death between you and me, with no one held accountable. Do you dare?" Chen Xuan said coldly.
"Since you’re so determined to die, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself!"
Li Canghai’s tone was glacial. He suddenly turned to the crowd in the courtyard and bellowed, "Listen up! I am about to engage Chen Xuan in a duel to the death. No matter who dies, no one is to be held accountable. You will all be my witnesses."
"Elder Li, Chen Xuan is just young and reckless. Please, don’t stoop to his level." Xu Bao from the Merit Hall, his face pale, hurriedly stepped forward to plead.
’No matter how you looked at it, this whole incident started because of the Thundercloud Grass.’
’If someone died and the Alliance Leader investigated, he, the head of the Merit Hall, would surely be unable to escape the blame.’
"Get lost!"
Li Canghai flicked his sleeve, completely ignoring him. His gaze remained locked on Chen Xuan as he said icily, "Do you truly not understand what Gang Energy means? If Li Changsheng wasn’t protecting you, I could have killed you with a single palm strike back in the great hall!"
BOOM!
A layer of brilliant white Gang Qi erupted from his body, illuminating his entire face. This Gang Qi enveloped him tightly like a perfectly round bubble, not only possessing astonishing defensive power but also radiating waves of unimaginably strong energy.
Sand and stones were kicked up around his feet, rustling audibly.
Tiny pebbles on the ground trembled rapidly.
Everyone panicked, trembling uncontrollably. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The head of the Merit Hall, Xu Bao, looked utterly terrified. Without a second thought, he fled the scene to notify Li Changsheng.
’If this goes wrong, someone is really going to die.’
’And if someone died, he would be implicated.’
"Little bastard, get ready!"
A sinister, savage grin spread across Li Canghai’s face.
WHOOSH!
His body shot toward Chen Xuan in an instant, carrying a violent and terrifying aura. The horrifying Gang Energy erupted forth like an indestructible, sacred blade, threatening to slice everything in the world to pieces.
However, in the next moment!
BOOM!!
An explosive sound erupted as countless streams of Qi Energy blasted in all directions.
It was as if dozens of cannonballs had exploded in mid-air.
An ultimate will of the Martial Dao surged out in all directions.
The powerful impact actually sent Li Canghai flying backward like a kite with a snapped string, crashing heavily dozens of meters away.
Everyone in the courtyard stared in terror at the figure that had been sent flying...
’A dignified Gang Energy Realm elder... sent flying by a single punch?’
’What the fuck...’
’Is this a joke!’
’Chen Xuan is actually this strong!’
BANG!
Li Canghai landed steadily on his feet but couldn’t stop himself from stumbling back two more steps, the ground crumbling under his feet and leaving two deep imprints. His face was a mask of shock and fury, his expression one of disbelief. A sharp pain shot through his trembling palm as he looked toward Chen Xuan.
He saw Chen Xuan, wreathed in fiery Qi Energy, his clothes flapping and his gaze burning. His body was like a furnace, and his fist was still clenched in the posture of a punch as he stared intently at him.
That dense will of the Martial Dao had almost solidified into something tangible.
It was as if an ultimate, terrifying deity was awakening within him.
"Fist Intent!"
Li Canghai’s heart trembled in disbelief.
’A prodigy!’
’This is a true prodigy!’
’He actually cultivated the legendary Fist Intent?’
"You..."
BOOM!
Suddenly, Li Canghai’s scalp went numb. That powerful, terrifyingly scorching aura had appeared before him in an instant, moving at an incredible speed.
’Fast!’
’Too fast!’
’Even faster than before.’
’It was practically teleportation.’
Even the worldly and experienced Li Canghai was shocked to his core, completely unable to react.
’What kind of speed is that?’
BANG!
Chen Xuan had already condensed an ultimate punch, empowered by his terrifying will of the Martial Dao, his Innate Divine Strength, his Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, and numerous Mysteries of Martial Arts, and smashed it fiercely toward Li Canghai.
Li Canghai had only just managed to gather his Gang Energy.
But that layer of Gang Energy popped like a bubble under Chen Xuan’s fist. The terrifying, unstoppable punch slammed directly into Li Canghai’s chest.
BANG!
Li Canghai spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed in pain. His body was knocked backward, his old face a mask of pure horror.
’His opponent’s speed was simply inhuman.’
’Even as a dignified Gang Energy master, he could only catch a glimpse of an afterimage.’
’How the fuck is that possible?’
’How could a mere Transforming Force cultivator be a match for someone in the Gang Energy Realm?’
But Chen Xuan’s body, leaving a trail of blurry, eerie afterimages, stuck to him like a shadow, relentlessly bombarding Li Canghai’s body with punch after punch.
’Thunderlight Shadow Step!’
At this speed, Li Canghai couldn’t react at all; he could only see a myriad of afterimages.
On top of that, Chen Xuan’s punches were far too powerful, nothing like what a Transforming Force cultivator should possess.
If someone told him Chen Xuan was in the Gang Energy Realm, Li Canghai would have believed them.
He roared, fighting as if his life depended on it. He frantically struck out with both hands, unleashing a dense torrent of surging Gang Energy that swept forward like a rainstorm.
’Since he couldn’t see Chen Xuan’s figure, he would just attack in every direction.’
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
A series of continuous explosions rang out.
Li Canghai’s body was being pushed back frantically...
To be precise, he wasn’t retreating voluntarily; he was being completely suppressed by Chen Xuan and forced backward.
From the very beginning, he had been at a complete disadvantage.
One step back led to another, and another.
Under the suppression of Chen Xuan’s terrifying Fist Intent, a piercing pain shot through the bones in his fists and arms, making them feel as if they no longer belonged to him...
Even the Gang Energy he rapidly blasted out was quickly crumbling.
Li Canghai’s heart was completely overwhelmed by an unprecedented terror. freewebnøvel.coɱ
’This guy is a monster!’
"Chen Xuan, what do you think you’re doing? This is insubordination! Are you trying to murder an elder? Stop this at once!"
Li Canghai roared in terror.
He could feel that he truly couldn’t take it anymore.
’A dignified Gang Energy master was about to be beaten to death by a Transforming Force cultivator!’
"Stop? My ass!"
Chen Xuan roared, his voice deafening. "We agreed to a duel to the death! Now die!"
BOOM!
The will of the Martial Dao erupting from his body surged explosively like a volcano, letting out a sound like a tsunami. His two fists, terrifyingly powerful, flew like meteors.
Blazing Sun’s Core!
He smashed both fists down, forcefully blasting open Li Canghai’s guard. With a sickening CRACK, he shattered the elder’s arms, a look of sheer terror spreading across his old face.
"Chen Xuan, no! I’m an elder!"
"And I’m your daddy!"
The moment he broke through Li Canghai’s guard, Chen Xuan’s two fiery, clay-pot-sized fists smashed down on the elder’s shoulders with unparalleled force. CRACK! Li Canghai let out a bloodcurdling scream as his two Gang Qi-wreathed shoulders were instantly shattered. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and his arms were nearly torn from their sockets.
His face twisted in extreme agony. Just as he opened his mouth to scream, Chen Xuan’s massive fist was already swinging down, smashing violently onto the crown of his head.
SPLAT!
Blood and brain matter splattered.
His neck seemed to shrink by three inches.
Li Canghai’s entire body was smashed into the ground, planting him there with a CRACK that shattered the floor tiles beneath him.
His eyes bulged, blood streamed from all seven of his facial orifices, and then he was still.
He was brutally, utterly dead.
