Chapter 529 - 161: Dao Heart Collapses, Unsettled Thoughts, What the Damn Hell!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Two massive explosions erupted from different parts of the ruins almost simultaneously!
From one location, rubble shot out like cannonballs as the monstrous Blood Shadow Sect Leader—drenched in blood and radiating a sky-high Fierce Evil Qi—charged out once more!
However, his once-enormous body had visibly shrunk, and the incomparably violent aura around him had weakened by more than a single notch!
Clearly, the effects of the Beast Transformation Pill—which traded life for power—were rapidly fading!
From the other location, a five-colored divine light shot into the sky, dazzling all who saw it!
Chu Fan’s Five Elements Cauldron spun, blasting away countless boulders and carving out an empty space in the ruins.
Immediately after, a figure cloaked in brilliant golden light leaped out of the deep crater, completely unharmed, and landed steadily on the ground!
"He’s not dead... He’s actually not dead!"
"My god! First it was Princess Zhaohua’s heaven-shaking sword strike, and now it’s this mysterious woman’s earth-shattering palm strike... He actually took another one!"
"How is that possible?! When he took that sword strike before, he activated two Defensive Techniques and even used a High-Grade Profound Weapon. But for that palm strike just now, he had no time to prepare any defenses at all!"
"A monster! Chu Fan is the real monster!"
"This kid... he’s ridiculously strong!"
"How in the world did he do it?"
The group of battle-hardened Demon Suppression Captains, who had seen their fair share of storms, stared at the lively figure, their faces filled with an indescribable mix of shock and elation. For a moment, they were utterly speechless!
Although they were still in a desperate situation, Chu Fan’s "return from the dead" was like a scorching current injected into their ice-cold hearts.
It rekindled their hope!
"ROAR!"
Though the monstrous Blood Shadow Sect Leader’s aura had weakened, his mind was still in chaos.
He glanced around randomly before locking onto the nearest Demon Suppression Captain and charging forward with a roar!
"Surround him! Kick him while he’s down!"
The other Demon Suppression Captains’ spirits soared, and they immediately rushed over.
The six of them instantly formed a battle formation, hoping to seize this golden opportunity to surround and kill the beast once and for all!
On the other side of the battlefield, the woman on the boulder revealed a look of utter disbelief for the first time!
Her gaze was fixed firmly on Chu Fan. For the first time, tumultuous waves of confusion and bewilderment surged within her placid, well-like eyes!
Though she hadn’t used her full power in that palm strike, it should have been enough to obliterate any peak Acupoint Realm expert, Divine Soul and all, into dust!
’But this boy before me... he’s only wearing a vest woven from Black Gold Silk on his upper body. He didn’t activate any Defensive Techniques, nor did he manage to summon his Five Elements Cauldron to protect himself.’
’What in the world is going on?!’
A scene this bizarre was completely beyond her comprehension!
Her Divine Sense, like an invisible net, instantly locked onto Chu Fan, sweeping over his body dozens of times, yet she still found nothing out of the ordinary.
No hidden Battle Armor, no protective Defensive Magical Treasure.
He didn’t even have a single scratch on him, and his aura was merely that of the Fifth Heaven of the Divine Power Realm.
’The Fifth Heaven of the Divine Power Realm... To me, he’s just an ant I can crush with a single finger!’
’Yet this ant took a palm strike from me that could shatter the heavens and sunder the earth!’
’This...’
The woman took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.
The longsword in her right hand trembled slightly, and a strand of light—brighter and purer than before—lit up its blade!
An aura rose from her body, several times more terrifying than that of the Celestial Punishment Sword from before!
The very Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism trembled before it, bowing in submission!
Seeing that she was about to strike again, Chu Fan reacted instantly, summoning his Five Elements Cauldron!
Five Giant Cauldrons spun overhead, the Five Elements Power flowing endlessly between them. They shone brilliantly, ready to form an impenetrable bronze wall at any moment!
But to Chu Fan’s surprise, the masked woman wasn’t looking at him this time!
Her gaze, condensed with endless killing intent, shot past the ruins and locked firmly onto Li Mubai and the others who were besieging the Blood Shadow Sect Leader!
The chill of death instantly enveloped Li Mubai and the others!
Their Divine Souls were locked on by her aura, making escape impossible!
Everyone trembled violently. No longer caring about the monster, they all retreated explosively, preparing to join forces to withstand this world-ending attack!
At this life-or-death moment, Chu Fan’s voice drifted over, laced with a hint of mockery:
"Trash!"
"Worthless!"
The two words rang out clearly, and the tense, hair-trigger atmosphere suddenly froze.
"Are you in the fourth Realm, or the fifth?"
"I’m only at the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm, the second Realm, yet you can’t even break my defense when I’m just lying here letting you hit me!"
"The Moon Worship Sect... do they only send out worthless trash like you?"
"No wonder you wear a mask. So you do have some sense of shame!"
As expected, the masked woman paused.
She slowly turned her head, her icy gaze once again falling on Chu Fan.
How could an expert of her Realm, with a will as firm as bedrock, be swayed by the taunts of a mere boy?
But Chu Fan’s words weren’t just simple insults.
He had indeed just lain there and let her strike him, and she had indeed failed to break his defense!
This was an ironclad fact before her very eyes, impossible to refute!
"Do you want to die that badly?"
The woman’s voice was no longer detached. It carried a bone-deep chill that touched upon the taboo, like a wind from the netherworld that could freeze one’s very Divine Soul!
"Why are you spouting such nonsense in front of all these Demon Suppression Captains?"
Chu Fan sneered. "It’s like I said. Even if I lie here and let you hit me, you still can’t break my defense!"
He paused, then added the most devastating line:
"Whether I want to die is one thing, but the key is... you can’t kill me!"
