Chapter 420 - 418: Smashed with a Single Punch
Amidst a landscape of biting wind and ice.
A blue saber gleam several hundred yards long stretched across the sky, then suddenly plummeted downward.
Beneath the saber gleam, Jiang Chen’s entire body was encased in blue ice, frozen solid.
He was like an ice sculpture.
Motionless.
He could only watch helplessly as the peerless saber gleam fell.
In Duann Shuiliu’s eyes, Jiang Chen was as good as dead.
The fusion of three Mystical Techniques made this move from Duann Shuiliu incredibly powerful, far surpassing an ordinary Celestial-Tier High-Level Martial Skill.
BOOM—
The blue saber gleam, carrying an unstoppable momentum, slashed down. In an instant, the blue light surged, converging into a raging blizzard that furiously unfurled.
Jiang Chen was at the center of the storm.
His body felt as if it were being constantly sliced apart by the blue saber storm, threatening to shred him to pieces.
The storm grew larger and wider, coalescing into a blue tornado.
WHOOSH!
The tornado shot toward the sky, uprooting surrounding buildings and tearing the earth asunder. Chunks of broken land and massive boulders were swept into the air.
There, in the biting wind, they were mercilessly torn to shreds.
They turned into a sky full of ice shards!
"Jiang Chen—is dead!" Duann Shuiliu let out a long breath, a cold smile forming on his face.
Under the power of such a terrifying attack, even a Celestial-tier Profound Weapon would be ground to pieces, let alone a body of flesh and blood.
Duann Shuiliu stood in midair with his hands clasped behind his back. He tilted his chin up slightly, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the blue tornado that seemed to connect heaven and earth.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The tornado’s rotation slowed, and it gradually shrank.
On the ground below...
Within a one-kilometer radius, not a single building remained. Everything had been razed to the ground!
A smooth layer of ice now covered the ground.
It reflected the Blazing Sun in the Celestial Vault, casting off rays of blue light, as bright as a mirror.
Duann Shuiliu scanned the area but could no longer see any sign of Jiang Chen.
The corner of his mouth lifted. He let out a soft breath, a relaxed smile on his face as he murmured to himself, "Finally, it’s over. If even my Icebound Thousand Years, the fusion of my three Mystical Techniques, couldn’t kill him, then that kid’s luck would be too damn good. But it seems he’s really dead this time!"
A triumphant smile spread across Duann Shuiliu’s face.
He glanced around nonchalantly, his gaze lingering on the sheet of ice covering the one-kilometer radius, a look of deep satisfaction on his face.
’What a beautiful sight! If I ever break through to the Human King Realm, or even the Human Emperor Realm... and use this Icebound Thousand Years again, I’m afraid I could freeze an entire city into a world of ice. Tsk, tsk, such beautiful ice... Huh? What’s that?’ As he was lost in thought, Duann Shuiliu’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the smile on his face froze.
His eyes locked onto the sheet of ice below him.
The ice was as bright as a mirror, reflecting the dome over Purple Wind City, the blue sky, the white clouds, and even himself.
But now... he discovered a black dot had suddenly appeared on the ice’s surface.
The black dot grew larger and larger as it plummeted from high above.
"What is that?"
Duann Shuiliu’s brow furrowed. He focused his gaze, and suddenly, his expression changed drastically. As the black dot drew closer, he saw a face.
A face he never would have dreamed of seeing!
Duann Shuiliu cried out in alarm, "Jiang Chen?"
He snapped his head up to look at the sky.
That black dot, falling like a shooting star—wasn’t that Jiang Chen?
At this very moment, Jiang Chen, his face an icy mask, was plummeting from the sky at incredible speed, surrounded by a turbulent, churning storm. He arrived in an instant, appearing right above Duann Shuiliu’s head and throwing a ferocious punch.
The shadow of that black fist grew larger and larger in Duann Shuiliu’s pupils.
From a black dot to something that filled his entire vision!
"N—no..."
Duann Shuiliu opened his mouth to cry out, but the force of the punch was already rushing into his throat, muffling his voice and making it unclear.
The punch landed squarely on his face!
BAM—
The Iron Fist caved in the left side of Duann Shuiliu’s face, twisting his entire expression into a hideous grimace.
A mouthful of blood and broken teeth sprayed from his mouth.
WHOOSH—
Under the force of that savage punch, Duann Shuiliu’s entire body spun rapidly like a top. He whirled through the air, then shot toward the ground like an arrow released from its bowstring.
BOOM!
Duann Shuiliu’s body slammed viciously onto the hard sheet of ice.
The ice shattered on impact, cracks spiderwebbing out in all directions. His body bounced up from the immense collision, sending up a spray of ice shards.
The moment he bounced, Jiang Chen was already in close pursuit.
He bent his knees, which were now covered in a layer of wind blades. A gale enveloped him as he aimed for Duann Shuiliu and slammed down with his knees.
BOOM—
His knees slammed directly into Duann Shuiliu’s abdomen, causing his head and feet to curl inward as his back once again smashed viciously into the ground.
RUMBLE—
The entire ground sank.
The impact gouged out a crater more than ten meters deep, as if a meteorite had crashed into the earth.
A plume of thick smoke rose from the bottom of the crater.
SWOOSH!
With a flicker, Jiang Chen shot out of the crater and landed on its edge.
His face was still dusted with a few ice shards. His eyes were incredibly sharp as he stared into the crater and said coolly, "How long are you going to play dead?"
"Cough, cough..."
Amidst a series of dry coughs, Duann Shuiliu flew out of the crater. He clutched his abdomen with his right hand, his face pale, with jarringly bright blood at the corner of his mouth. Wiping away the streak of blood, Duann Shuiliu stared at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with shock and uncertainty. "How did you escape from Icebound Thousand Years? I clearly saw you get torn apart by the storm..."
"Your attack was strong, but no match for my physical body," Jiang Chen said flatly.
His Divine Demon Tyrant Body had already reached the Peak of the Fourth Stage, making it comparable to a Profound Tier High-level Profound Weapon.
If that last attack had been unleashed by a Human King, Jiang Chen might not have been able to withstand it. But the power Duann Shuiliu wielded was clearly not enough to threaten his life!
Duann Shuiliu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head violently. "That’s impossible! How could a mere physical body withstand Icebound Thousand Years? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe you..."
"You have no choice but to believe it," Jiang Chen said coolly.
From their earlier exchange, he had understood that the most direct way to deal with Duann Shuiliu was to simply crush him with his physical strength!
’Who cares about whatever ice techniques you have...’
’I’ll just smash them with a single punch!’
’It’s more direct than anything else!’
