Chapter 236 - 166: A Crushing Kill! Hollowing Out the Secret Palace Base

Chapter 236: Chapter 166: A Crushing Kill! Hollowing Out the Secret Palace Base

"This is bad!!!"

Pang Chuanshan’s expression changed drastically.

’What is this?!’

"How is this possible!!!"

A thought flashed through his mind... ’Divinity Transformation?’

’No!’

He had seen the Secret Palace’s Divinity Transformation before. In that state, a person would become frenzied, their sanity consumed, making it impossible to maintain such a composed form!

But this person before him... seemed to have achieved Divinity Transformation all the same!

"You..."

He had just opened his mouth to ask something, but Wan Ze’s fist was already upon him.

As the punch flew, it tore through the air with a piercing shriek that instantly drowned out his words!

BANG!!!

The fist smashed into Pang Chuanshan’s left arm!

"CRACK!!!!"

The sound of shattering bone was sickeningly clear. His entire left arm snapped on the spot, with ghastly white bone fragments piercing through his flesh.

But Wan Ze’s fist didn’t stop!

Its Momentum undiminished, it slammed viciously into his chest!

"BAM!!!"

His chest caved in!

Ribs shattered!

His Five Viscera and Six Bowels felt as if they were being brutally crushed by an invisible hand!

Pang Chuanshan’s eyes went wide, his face a mask of terror, horror, and disbelief... His mouth hung open as if he wanted to say something, but all that came out was a spray of fresh blood.

Then, his entire body was flung like a giant boulder, crashing to the ground more than ten meters away, never to rise again.

He was dead...

A dead silence fell over the area.

The gunmen were all dumbfounded, as if frozen in place.

"Captain... Captain Pang is dead..."

"He killed Captain Pang! How is that possible!!!"

From the moment Pang Chuanshan attacked to the moment he was killed, no more than a dozen seconds had passed.

It all happened too fast for anyone to react.

The men from the Secret Palace felt like they had just been on a roller coaster. Moments ago, they were full of confidence; now, an icy chill ran through them.

In the distance, the bald-headed man forced Zhai Jia back with a swing of his blade and glanced over his shoulder.

And the smile froze on his face.

"!!!"

"Damn it!!!!"

Witnessing Pang Chuanshan’s death, the bald-headed man roared in fury. He retreated abruptly as his vital energy surged, causing his Power to skyrocket, and sent Zhai Jia reeling with a single slash.

Sensing that the immense power from the Soldier Immortal Technique had not yet faded, Wan Ze charged toward him.

A series of explosive pops echoed through the air, and dirt flew from beneath his feet. He had no interest in wasting time.

A battle of life and death was a race against time, a fight to the finish!

"SWOOSH!"

Wan Ze threw a punch, the Fist Force tearing through the air.

The whistling sound made the bald-headed man’s scalp tingle with fear.

"Fuck! What kind of monster is this kid!"

The absurd thought that he couldn’t possibly dodge this punch crossed his mind.

With Zhai Jia watching like a tiger ready to pounce, the two martial brothers attacked in unison, like a pair of savage beasts descending on their prey.

In this life-or-death moment, he made a split-second decision.

While maintaining his rapid retreat, the bald-headed man swung his broad-bladed saber in a wide arc and slashed out!

BOOM!!!

The flash of the blade erupted, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.

The surrounding dust was kicked up into a swirling cloud by the powerful gust.

The ground beneath their feet cracked and exploded from the force of their steps, sending stone fragments flying.

The vital energy of all three erupted, pushed to its absolute peak.

The air was brutally torn apart. The bald-headed man’s slash let out a shriek like wailing ghosts and howling wolves as the blade’s light, like a bolt of white silk, chopped down toward Wan Ze’s head.

Wan Ze sidestepped, and the blade’s edge grazed past his chest, striking the tree trunk behind him.

A tree so thick it would take three people to encircle it was sliced in two at its waist. The top half crashed to the ground with a RUMBLE, sending a flurry of dry leaves into the air.

Zhai Jia lunged from the side, aiming a punch at the bald-headed man’s ribs.

Without even looking, the bald-headed man swept his saber backhanded.

"CLANG!!!"

Zhai Jia’s fist smashed against the back of the blade.

A force like a toppling mountain and overturning sea rebounded from the saber. He grunted and stumbled back several steps.

"CRACK! BAM!!!"

His shoulder shattered the tree behind him, and he immediately slammed into a second one.

"Brother Jia!"

Wan Ze’s pupils constricted. He pushed off with his feet, activating his Mysterious Shadow Step to its limit, and his entire body blurred into an afterimage as he lunged at the bald-headed man.

He aimed a punch at the man’s back, right over his heart.

The bald-headed man spun around abruptly, holding his broad-bladed saber horizontally in front of him.

"CLANG!!!"

The Fist Force slammed into the saber, setting off a visible shockwave of air!

The surrounding dry leaves were swept up by the gust, dancing wildly in the air!

The bald man didn’t retreat a single half-step. Instead, he grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellowed teeth.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

With that, he suddenly exerted his strength, knocking Wan Ze’s fist away with his saber before sweeping it back again in a backhanded slash!

Wan Ze retreated explosively. The edge of the blade grazed the tip of his nose and slashed into the ground behind him...

"SLASH!"

The earth was torn open, leaving a deep gash more than a meter long.

The bald-headed man frowned and snorted coldly. Pressing his advantage, he took a step forward, swung his saber in a great arc, and brought it chopping down once more.

Wan Ze had no time to dodge, but he had no intention of doing so anyway. He swung his arm horizontally like a hammer to meet the blade.

Rebound!

"CLANG!!!"

The shriek of metal on metal was so loud it made one’s eardrums ache!

Wan Ze was forced back continuously, the earth beneath his feet exploding with every step. The savage power poured down from the saber, pressing on him so hard his bones creaked and groaned.

But...

He had blocked it!

In contrast, the web of the bald-headed man’s thumb had split open. Ignoring the streaming blood, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, quickly replaced by an even more savage grin. "Good kid! Again!"

He drew back his saber and slashed again!

Wan Ze used his arm as a sword!

"CLANG!"

The bald brute drew back his saber and slashed again!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Each slash was faster and heavier than the last!

With every blow Wan Ze blocked, the ground beneath his feet sank a little deeper.

But he didn’t retreat a single step, holding his ground tenaciously!

The bald-headed man’s expression was grim. After every rebound, he felt as disgusted as if he’d swallowed a fly. There was something almost magical about the kid’s horizontal blocks.

’I can’t see through it!’

’It’s making me unbelievably frustrated!’

The pain from his torn hand made the bald-headed man anxious. He had thought it wouldn’t take long to kill these intruders, but not only had Pang Chuanshan died, he himself had failed to gain the upper hand.
