Chapter 330 - 327: Crushing

Chapter 330: Chapter 327: Crushing

Atop the Cloud Summit, all was silent.

The Green-winged Bat King and the nun known as "Unspeakable" were embedded in the earth and rock.

Flesh, blood, and bone—a mess of red and white—had all fused together, impossible to tell apart or separate.

While Xuanxu and the others of the righteous path were inwardly celebrating the death of a Demon Sect member, they were also secretly observing the young man’s current state.

A monstrous might billowed to the heavens. Terrifying black qi swirled around him, and his entire being emanated an incredibly oppressive aura.

This was a far cry from the young man he had been before, as if a demonic will had seeped into the very marrow of his bones.

If they couldn’t still faintly see a shadow of the youth he once was, and if he hadn’t emerged from the Qiankun Qi Bag, they probably wouldn’t have dared to recognize him.

But their silence didn’t mean the Demon Sect would fail to respond.

After a brief, stunned silence, the sight of their comrades’ remains caused an immense rage to well up in the chests of the Demon Sect’s disciples.

"You bastard, you’re asking for it!" Xie Xun roared, lunging toward Fang Can.

Her massive, sphinx-like form caused the entire summit to tremble violently with every step her paws took.

Though she was the size of a small tower, her movements shattered the air, leaving a visible white shockwave trailing behind her golden-brown mane.

As she charged, it was as if a tank was hurtling toward Fang Can at supersonic speed.

"Hmph. Since you’re so heartbroken, I might as well send you down to join her."

Fang Can snorted. Without even trying to dodge, he strode forward to meet the Golden Lion King head-on.

"Hero Fang, be careful! The Golden Lion King’s legacy is called ’Battle Heaven and Fight Earth.’ When she is near death or enraged, her power grows uncontrollably!"

Xuanxu’s warning rang out from a distance, but Fang Can paid it no mind. He actually opened his palm to meet the Golden Lion King’s charge head-on.

"Hmph! You’re asking to die!"

Seeing Fang Can’s intent, the Golden Lion King snorted, and her mammoth-sized body accelerated even further.

In the next instant, their bodies slammed into one another.

BOOM—

The moment they collided, the very air around them solidified into a visible shockwave that roared outwards, blasting away the clouds in the sky!

On one side was a colossal, sphinx-like beast. On the other, a merely well-built human.

Judging by sheer presence alone, the scene was like an ant trying to block an elephant.

But to the utter shock of everyone watching, Fang Can’s body stood its ground, immovable as a stake driven into the earth.

As Xie Xun’s face flushed red with effort, Fang Can’s open palm, like an indestructible iron ingot, pressed a half-foot-deep print into her forehead.

SWOOSH—

Just as Fang Can held back the Golden Lion King with one arm, two more figures appeared behind him.

It was none other than the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King and Vice-Envoy Yang Xiao!

Realizing that Fang Can was too strong for any one of them to face alone, they were preparing a joint attack.

In that same instant, the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King’s fingertips began to turn transparent.

Her fair skin vanished, revealing the raw flesh and blood beneath. She then formed a claw with her right hand and swiped at Fang Can’s head.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiao split into seven versions of herself.

The seven phantoms surrounded Fang Can, closing in from every direction.

They attacked Fang Can’s vital points with a variety of strikes—fists, palms, fingers, and knees.

For a moment, Fang Can felt a searing sensation on his head, as if it were being scorched by fire.

It was his intuition. It told him that if the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King’s claw landed, he would be severely injured.

Recalling her transparent fingertips, a realization dawned on Fang Can:

’Her claw strike... it deals damage like a Space Slash. Anything it touches is utterly destroyed.’

With that thought, Fang Can decided against a direct confrontation. His free right arm shot out and clamped down on the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King’s wrist.

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG—

Meanwhile, Yang Xiao’s seven phantoms struck Fang Can in sequence, targeting his temples, heart, groin, eyes, and throat with various techniques.

Yet her full-powered assault only produced the sound of metal striking metal.

Fang Can’s skin merely dented slightly under her attacks, leaving behind faint red marks.

As for his eyes, he simply closed them, using his eyelids to block her "Two Dragons Play with a Pearl" strike!

’A monster! His External Skills have reached the Transformation Realm!’ The onlookers were all thinking the same thing, awestruck.

This level of Horizontal Training was in no way inferior to Shaolin’s own Indestructible Vajra Body.

Gripping the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King’s wrist, Fang Can was about to crush it.

But then he saw that her ring and index fingers were returning to their normal color.

No, it wasn’t that they were regaining their color. Rather, those two transparent patches of skin were moving toward her wrist.

He instinctively let go. The skin on the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King’s wrist had now turned completely transparent, exposing the flesh and blood beneath.

’So that’s how it works,’ Fang Can realized. ’The transparent skin carrying that destructive power can move to different parts of her body. It doesn’t have to be concentrated in her hands.’

’The surface area of this special skin is about fifteen square centimeters. If I get touched by it, I’ll be injured.’

’It can also be dispersed for both offense and defense, though the minimum area it can be broken down into seems to be about one square centimeter.’

’So, to be safe, I shouldn’t make physical contact with her at all.’

Having spent a moment analyzing the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King’s legacy ability, Fang Can let out a cold laugh.

"So I can’t hit you directly? Does that mean I can’t hit you indirectly?"

As he sneered, the Golden Lion King let out a pained growl.

CRACK— CRACK—

Fang Can’s fingers, still embedded in the Golden Lion King’s skull, curled into a claw. Relying on sheer finger strength, he began crushing holes into her steel-like bone, like the finger holes in a bowling ball.

With a violent swing of his left arm, it was as if he had uprooted an entire mountain.

Fang Can, gripping the Golden Lion King’s skull, violently swung her body, which weighed dozens of tons.

The White-Eyebrowed Eagle King could only watch helplessly as the Golden Lion King’s entire body hurtled toward her, leaving no room to dodge.

BOOM!

With a deafening crash that shook the earth, the White-Eyebrowed Eagle King’s body was sent flying like a broken doll, smashed away by the Golden Lion King.

Her body plowed a deep trench across the ground before embedding itself several feet into the cliff face.

HOME RUN!!!

Staring at the figure standing amidst the dust and smoke, Yang Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.

’They’re all Fourth Turn, but their legacies feel pretty underwhelming.’

Fang Can clicked his tongue. They were nowhere near the level of Xiang Hongtu.

Of course, he knew this was due to this world’s peculiar rules.

Every Fourth Turn cultivator was restricted by an untold factor, and the amount of Heart Image they could use was pitifully small.

Even the Xiang Hongtu he knew would probably be unable to use "Inversion of Ignorance" even once if he were here.

In such a harsh environment, these Fourth Turn cultivators could only keep their legacies as simple as possible to minimize their consumption of Heart Image.

As Fang Can’s gaze shifted, a figure had, at some point, moved to stand in front of Yang Xiao.

It was none other than the man who had been in a daze this entire time—Dongfang Wuji!
