Chapter 106 · Volume 1

Fierce Battle (1)

Dust and smoke billowed at the center of the massive crater where the explosion had occurred.
Standing there was a monster, its clothes completely vaporized and its body covered in black blood.
The monster stood three meters tall. It was humanoid, with pure red skin, yellow eyes, and shoulder-length red hair, its muscular physique built to extreme proportions.
Pfft!
Its mouth forced open, hacking up a large mouthful of black blood.
Yu Shuanghua stared at the desolate crater around him. The Earth Priests he had brought with him had been completely vaporized.
His internal organs were completely ruptured; all he could do now was wait for his body to regenerate.
“Who the hell ambushed me?!” Yu Shuanghua roared toward the sky once his body had mostly regenerated.
A translucent shockwave of sound rippled outward, dispersing the dust clouds above with his roar.
“Water, lightning, fire,” a calm voice suddenly echoed.
Water materialized out of thin air, drenching Yu Shuanghua before he could even react.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning crashed down. The water and electricity, both manifested from spiritual power, actually triggered a physical reaction at that moment.
A dual spiritual strike hit him instantly.
“Ahhh!!!” Wracked by intense spiritual agony, Yu Shuanghua couldn't help but scream in rage.
Tap, tap, tap!
As he shrieked, the sound of footsteps approached, followed by a harsh curse: “Shut the fuck up! You're going to suffer a lot more in a moment!”
An invisible force swept through, clearing the remaining dust.
Hearing the voice, Yu Shuanghua looked over and saw a six-eyed, middle-aged man appearing alongside a young man.
The youth glared at him, his eyes burning with hatred.
Buzz!
The water and electricity vanished, replaced by flames that erupted across his body. This triple spiritual strike made Yu Shuanghua's massive frame totter.
His expression twisted in agony and disbelief. How can there be someone this strong in Yangcheng? Zhang Yi didn't say a word about this! Did that hypocrite intend to get me killed?!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Yu Shuanghua cursed Zhang Yi in his mind, the sound of rushing air echoed from above, and he gritted his teeth against the burning spiritual pain.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
He raised both fists, unleashing a flurry of red afterimages toward the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crows were blasted apart by his fists, exploding into mists of blood and black feathers before him.
Knowing how powerful his enemies were, he held nothing back, throwing thousands of punches in a single second to obliterate the incoming crows.
Seeing this, the remaining crows stopped their assault, swirling over the ground a dozen meters away before dissipating.
Under the cover of night, a young man with slicked-back hair wearing a suit stepped forward.
Tang Yongyun looked at Liu Wen. “Elder Liu, how about we team up to get rid of this disgusting thing first before we fight over the item? After all, they did kill your son.”
Liu Wen glanced at Tang Yongyun. He had once been wary of this young man, but after evolving once in Ningcheng thanks to Zhao Jin's reward, he no longer feared him.
“You played a part in my son's death as well, but some grudges take priority. Let's do this,” Liu Wen said expressionlessly.
Suddenly, Liu Wen looked into the distance. In the sky, Zhang Yi was rapidly flying toward them, his body also radiating spiritual power.
“Another one? He dares to show off his spiritual power in front of me? I'll leave this heavily injured one to you!” Supported by his spiritual power, Liu Wen rose into the air and flew toward Zhang Yi.
“Fine,” Tang Yongyun replied casually.
Hearing the two of them casually deciding his fate, Yu Shuanghua stood in place, the red veins all over his body bulging as he gritted his teeth and roared, “You want to kill me? You two pieces of trash aren't enough!”
Although the Earth Mother had not granted him the talent to absorb thirteen different abilities like Zhang Yi,
she had still bestowed two abilities upon him based on his strengths.
【Divine Physique】: Extreme strength and speed!
【Flesh Regeneration】: No matter how severe the injury, as long as he was not dead, he would fully recover within a single second!
Tang Yongyun looked at him without speaking, but the disdain in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.
Yu Shuanghua had reached his absolute limit. First the explosion, then the spiritual attacks, and now being traded off like some object.
To someone who valued his face and pride above all else, this was a fate worse than death.
“Come on! I'll make you realize who the strongest existence beneath the Earth Mother is!” Yu Shuanghua bellowed, raising his fists in front of his face.
His body began to sway as he lightly bounced on his feet, adopting a boxer's stance.
Tang Yongyun walked toward him, his tone calm. “The strongest beneath the Earth Mother? How laughable.”
In the next instant, Yu Shuanghua moved.
Swish!
His body blurred into an afterimage, appearing five meters to the front-left in a single stride. With his next step, another afterimage flashed to the front-right, bringing him right before Tang Yongyun.
“Say whatever you want, but in my eyes, you're already a dead man!” His body swayed violently as he drew his right fist back, his muscles swelling. With full power behind it, he threw a ferocious punch straight at Tang Yongyun.
Bang!
The punch shattered the air in front of him, reaching Tang Yongyun's face in an instant, the sheer wind from the fist blowing his hair straight back.
Slap!
Tang Yongyun's right hand moved suddenly, blurring as he slapped the side of Yu Shuanghua's fist.
The punch that should have shattered his head was deflected, striking the empty ground behind him.
Bang!
The ground two meters behind Tang Yongyun exploded from the shockwave of the punch, carving out a crater.
Yu Shuanghua's eyes widened. “Deflection?!”
“Deflection? No, it's a killing technique!” Tang Yongyun sneered as his left hand suddenly vanished.
He had mastered these skills since childhood, but as his status rose, he hadn't needed to use them for a long time.
Pfft!
So fast! Yu Shuanghua was startled by the speed of the hand that had vanished from his sight.
In the next split second, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Tang Yongyun's left hand had pierced straight through his throat, black blood instantly staining Tang Yongyun's hand and sleeve.
