Chapter 457: Venerable Invincible, One Fatal Punch

"Scorching Great Sun!"

But just as Shen Daoxing raised his arm, ready to bring down another heavy punch, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

Jun Wushuang had somehow appeared behind Shen Daoxing. He raised the Divine Sun Sword high, and the scorching Divine Sun Flame upon it soared into the air, transforming into a fiery dragon that charged straight for Shen Daoxing's back.

Hearing the voice, Shen Daoxing paused. He suddenly shot out a hand, grabbed Du Qingshu's fallen ankle, and used his own small frame to hoist the massive man high into the air. With a powerful swing, he hurled Du Qingshu's colossal body straight at Jun Wushuang—at his sword, at the fiery dragon coiled around its blade.

Seeing this, Jun Wushuang was so startled that he hastily retracted his sword.

BANG!

Du Qingshu and Jun Wushuang collided heavily, and both were sent flying backward.

Shen Daoxing's figure flickered and vanished, reappearing behind the two of them a moment later.

Shen Daoxing's eyes suddenly narrowed. "You think having more people makes you impressive?"

With a CRACKLE, he clenched his fists, which instantly turned a metallic black-gold, gleaming and radiating explosive power.

"Venerable Invincible, a Serious Punch!"

Suddenly, Shen Daoxing raised his arm and threw a punch, aiming directly for the backs of Jun Wushuang and Du Qingshu.

Jun Wushuang was shocked as he saw a dark red Treasure Sword slash through the sky.

CLANG!

A metallic ringing sound echoed.

The Divine Sun Sword had suddenly appeared to block the attack in front of Jun Wushuang and Du Qingshu.

However.

A brilliant light erupted from Shen Daoxing's black-gold fist. SIZZLE! Arcs of black lightning flashed.

The explosive Fist Force blasted through the Divine Sun Sword.

BANG!

With a crisp sound, the Protective Golden Light around Jun Wushuang shattered.

"Gah!"

Jun Wushuang and Du Qingshu both spat out a large mouthful of blood and were sent flying forward once more.

"Shi Ba! Aren't you going to help?!"

Du Qingshu's eyes were nearly bursting from their sockets as he let out a frantic cry.

A massive figure suddenly leaped high into the air, appearing before Shen Daoxing. It was Shi Ba, once again swinging his Treasure Sword, which was like a pillar that could hold up the heavens, bringing it down on Shen Daoxing from above.

However.

CLANG!

A sound like metal striking metal rang out.

Shen Daoxing simply thrust out a palm, effortlessly blocking Shi Ba's pillar-like Treasure Sword.

Then, he closed his five fingers and squeezed. With his small frame, he actually lifted the massive Treasure Sword, dragging Shi Ba along with it, and swung them through the air in a graceful arc.

"So, having more people makes you strong, does it?!"

Shen Daoxing roared, then suddenly leaped up, dragging Shi Ba with him.

BANG!

He viciously slammed Shi Ba down onto Du Qingshu and Jun Wushuang.

"Gah!"

Du Qingshu and Jun Wushuang each spat out another large mouthful of blood.

But Shen Daoxing wasn't finished. He leaped up again, and a brilliant white light flared in his hand. A Venerable Dharma Seal the size of a small mountain suddenly appeared on his palm.

Then, Shen Daoxing raised it high and slammed it down again with immense force. "So, having more people makes you mighty?!"

"Gah!"

"Gah!"

"Gah!"

Du Qingshu, Jun Wushuang, and Shi Ba all spat out huge mouthfuls of blood.

Even in a one-on-three fight against the three strongest disciples of the Fusang Immortal Island—three masters at the Ninth Layer of the Earth Profound Realm, just a single step away from the Refining Dust Realm—Shen Daoxing was not at a disadvantage in the slightest. He was completely suppressing them, even toying with them.

"???"

The disciples watching from above the clouds stared with wide eyes.

At that moment.

"Array Formation!"

Du Qingshu shouted through a mouthful of blood.

Jun Wushuang suddenly leaped high, tracing a graceful arc through the sky before crashing back down to the ground. He brought his hands together, and as he began to chant, a dignified voice emanated from him. His aura suddenly surged.

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE!

The Great Suns that had shattered earlier all rose into the air, floating above Jun Wushuang's head. They reformed into massive suns that distorted the very space around them.

"Divine Sun Celestial Dao, Nine Suns Linked Pearls!"

Jun Wushuang roared. The nine Great Suns above his head began to spin rapidly, tracing fiery red arcs through the sky. WHOOSH! They fell into a straight, overlapping line in front of him.

At the same time.

"Combined attack!"

Du Qingshu suddenly roared. He and Shi Ba shot up from the ground and appeared behind Jun Wushuang. They each thrust out a palm, striking Jun Wushuang's back. A torrent of power flowed from their bodies into his.

Jun Wushuang glowed with a blinding light as his aura skyrocketed once more.

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE!

The entire desert began to shake violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Divine Sun Celestial Dao, Nine Suns Linked Pearls!"

Jun Wushuang bellowed. He raised his hands and pushed forward. Instantly, the Nine Suns Linked Pearls blazed with dazzling light, erupting with countless fiery dragons. The heavens and earth changed color, the desert trembled, and the cataclysmic attack was about to sweep forward.

Seeing this, even the elders of the Four Vein Immortal Island watching from the Pengze Hall Martial Arts Arena were visibly moved.

This combined attack from Jun Wushuang, Du Qingshu, and Shi Ba—the three strongest disciples of Fusang—was so powerful that even they would have to give it a wide berth and avoid its edge.

But Shen Daoxing showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he kicked off the ground and shot high into the sky.

"Venerable Invincible, a Killing Punch!"

Without hesitation, he threw a punch.

In that instant, Shen Daoxing shone with blinding light. Dazzling rays shot toward the heavens, and his entire body turned a metallic black-gold, gleaming brightly.

The very space around him was stretched and distorted by the swing of his fist.

RUMBLE!

Shen Daoxing's punch smashed directly into the Nine Suns Linked Pearls.

For a split second, the world fell silent, as if frozen in time.

Then.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

...

A series of explosions rang out. One by one, the massive, scorching Great Suns shattered under Shen Daoxing's Fist Force, exploding like brilliant fireworks in the sky.

Then.

BANG!

Another tremendous roar.

Shen Daoxing's immense Fist Force pierced through the nine Great Suns and slammed into Jun Wushuang, Du Qingshu, and Shi Ba.

SPLURT!

Streams of bright red Blood Arrows shot high into the sky.

Without a moment's pause, the massive Golden Body Dharma Aspects of Jun Wushuang, Du Qingshu, and Shi Ba shattered like thin paper under Shen Daoxing's immense Fist Force, dissolving into motes of golden light.

Then, three blood-soaked figures were thrown high into the air. They traced a graceful arc before crashing heavily onto the ground, already covered in their own blood.

"???"

The Fusang elders.

"???"

Vice Island Master Han.

"???"

"!!!"

"!!!"

All the spectating disciples.

"!!!"

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan.
