Flame Kick!
With a sharp sonic boom, Fang Cheng exhaled and unleashed a close-range whip kick.

bang——

The kick landed squarely on Jiang Chen's lower back.

The dull, deafening sound of flesh colliding was like a clap of thunder in spring.

Jiang Chen's bronze armor, which had remained intact for two thousand years, shattered into countless sharp metal fragments the moment it came into contact with the metal, shooting out in all directions.

An overwhelming force pierced through his torso, causing Jiang Chen's massive body to lean slightly forward, losing his balance.

Golden flames, following the gaps in the broken armor plates, penetrated deep into his withered flesh, hissing and burning the chilling corpse energy.

Jiang Chen let out a low growl, and the bone spurs on his back suddenly retracted.

Two spear-like blades retaliated and stabbed at Fang Cheng, while the other two tried to pierce the ground to stabilize their center of gravity.

But how could Fang Cheng possibly give him a chance to adjust and counterattack?

Using the force of the rebound from his whip kick, he slammed his left foot into the ground.

He stepped through the stone slab on the spot, and his figure instantly rose from the ground.

Fang Cheng twisted his waist and hips, his spine exerting force inch by inch, causing his body to rotate 360 ​​degrees rapidly in the instant he was suspended in mid-air.

Using this violent centrifugal force, his right leg tore through the air, unleashing a fiery storm in mid-air.

Whirlwind Kick!
The true fire of the sun compressed rapidly on the shadow of the leg, and the golden light briefly illuminated half of the night sky.

This volley almost drained Fang Cheng of all his muscle power and energy.

In terms of sheer destructive power, it is in no way inferior to a charged strike using the Qilin Arm.

boom!
The foot, carrying an aura of destruction, slammed into Jiang Chen's back right in the center.

The powerful force, like a raging torrent bursting its banks, surged into Jiang Chen's body, sending his massive frame flying.

Jiang Chen was like a cannonball launched by a heavy hammer, flying rapidly backwards close to the ground.

Four bone spikes scraped against the stone slab, creating a series of dazzling sparks and carving several deep furrows into the road surface.

Boom—

He crashed heavily into the main hall of the ancestral hall, breaking several load-bearing wooden pillars that were as thick as a person's embrace.

With a sickening cracking sound, the majestic roof of the main hall collapsed.

Broken bricks, beams, and tiles rained down, instantly burying the once-arrogant zombie king beneath the ruins.

Just then, Xu Hao, who had been thrown backward, fell from mid-air along with the stake.

"Holy crap!"

He crashed heavily into the mud in the distance.

The violent impact of the fall shattered the wooden stake into pieces, and the thick hemp rope binding him snapped as well.

Xu Hao reacted extremely quickly, using the momentum to roll around in the mud several times to dissipate the force.

He didn't even bother to wipe the mud from his eyes. He scrambled to his feet and craned his neck to look eagerly toward the main hall.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Xu Hao's eyes widened, his mouth slowly opened wide, and he even forgot to breathe.

The entire courtyard of the ancestral hall fell into a deathly silence.

Manager Wu's previously composed face became completely distorted.

He stared blankly at the charred ravine emitting wisps of smoke, his mind a complete blank.

Qian Dongming lay on the ground, his whole body shaking violently like a sieve.

His cloudy old eyes revealed unprecedented terror, and a gurgling sound came from his throat, as if someone had choked him.

That was the king they worshipped as a god and prayed to for eternal life!

At this moment, it was kicked into the pile of ruins like a tattered sack.

The villagers in the corner were paralyzed on the ground, staring in horror at the collapsed main hall.

The scene of Jiang Chen being defeated just now completely shattered their remaining understanding.

Aside from instinctively trembling, he could do nothing else.

As the wind subsided, Fang Cheng stood still, exhaling a long breath of scorching white air, and the boiling golden flames on his body gradually subsided.

He then rotated his right ankle, and the bones made a few crisp popping sounds.

He calmly gazed at the ruins ahead, where billowing smoke and dust rose.

The power of this fiery whirlwind kick far exceeds the limits of ordinary people's understanding.

With Fang Cheng's terrifying agility and strength attributes, combined with the enhancement of true qi, and the centrifugal force from the 360-degree spin in the air, he could achieve a powerful attack.

The impact force released at the moment of impact is probably close to 100 tons.

Let alone flesh and blood, even a heavy armored vehicle standing in front of it would be dented and destroyed by this terrifying force, and would be sent flying.

Jiang Chen managed to withstand the blow and wasn't instantly killed.

All I can say is that the zombie body, forged through more than two thousand years of cultivation, is quite formidable.

For an ordinary ability user, their spine and internal organs would have been shattered into a pile of minced meat the moment of impact.

Thick smoke billowed above the collapsed ancestral hall, and dull cracking sounds of wood breaking could be heard from the gaps between the shattered tiles.

"Hehehe..."

A low, chilling laugh suddenly came from deep within the pile of stones.

Fang Cheng raised an eyebrow, his hands, which had been hanging at his sides, suddenly clenched, and his gaze immediately locked onto the direction from which the sound came.

"king!"

Upon hearing this commotion, Manager Wu, who was hiding in the distance, grasped at a lifeline and exclaimed with delight.

Upon hearing this, Qian Dongming, who was standing to the side, felt a glimmer of hope appear in his eyes, which were filled with fear.

"boom!"

The pile of rocks suddenly exploded, sending large fragments of rock flying in all directions like bullets.

A dark blue claw emerged from the smoke and dust, gripped the edge of the broken wall, and crushed the bricks.

Jiang Chen rose from the ruins.

The bronze armor that had accompanied him in his slumber for a thousand years was already damaged in several places, with broken pieces of armor hanging on his body making a clanging noise.

At this moment, the ancient corpse was torn in many places, and the right shoulder was even more horribly dented, with several white bone fragments piercing through the flesh and exposed to the air.

However, before anyone could feel alarmed, a series of rapid bone-connecting sounds came from his body.

Countless dark red granulation tissues, like densely packed nematodes, intertwined and wriggled wildly at the wound site.

In just two breaths, the severely collapsed scapula swelled up and returned to its original shape as if it had been inflated.

Xu Hao, hiding in the distance, swallowed hard and gritted his teeth as he witnessed this scene.
"This old monster's regenerative abilities are simply unreasonable. I wonder if our boss can withstand it..."

"That kid surnamed Fang..."

Jiang Chen slowly twisted his neck, and his cervical spine made a sickening cracking sound.

Those eyes, glowing with an eerie green light, were fixed on the young man before them, their tone cold and condescending:
"I did underestimate you just now. To have tempered your body to this extent, you are already qualified to witness the terrifying power of my true form—"

Before he finished speaking, the air where Jiang Chen stood suddenly rippled like water, and his massive body vanished into thin air.

Without any hesitation, Fang Cheng slammed his right foot into the ground, his leg muscles bulged instantly, and he pushed off backward with force.

The instant he left his spot, the stone slabs where he had just stood roared. Four jagged bone spikes, like heavy pile drivers, plunged down from the void.

The ground collapsed on the spot, creating a huge pit several meters in diameter and seemingly bottomless, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly in all directions.

The attack missed its mark, and half of Jiang Chen's body emerged from the ripples in the air, a hint of ferocity flashing across his stiff face.

Seeing that this human reacted as quickly as a flea, he managed to dodge the deadly attack once again.

He snorted coldly, and the space around him rippled again as he continued to use Instant Step to pursue.

This time, Fang Cheng did not choose to back down.

His heel slammed into the floor tiles, his waist and hips sank, and he crashed into the black afterimage that came flying through the air without flinching.

Two violent forces collided violently in mid-air.

The air was compressed and exploded instantly, creating a visible white shockwave.

The sweeping gale flattened the remaining walls of the courtyard, and the rubble was lifted into the air and then crushed into dust by the surging force.

At the center of the shockwave, Fang Cheng's arm muscles bulged, and his palms gripped the two bone spikes that were thrusting towards him like iron clamps.

At the same time, a dazzling golden halo appeared on his body, blocking the other two bone spurs that were attacking from the side.

The sharp tips of the bone spurs rubbed violently against the protective aura, sending up a shower of dazzling sparks.

"How was it? How was my speed? Not worse than yours, right?"

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a cruel sneer as he tried to overwhelm his opponent with even greater force.

Fang Cheng had no intention of responding; his eyes were cold, and he used the twisting force of his waist and abdomen to support his right leg.

With a "snap," it shot up, tearing through the air, and kicked directly at Jiang Chen's wide-open abdomen.

The image of being kicked away and looking disheveled flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

His eyelids twitched, and he dared not accept the offer.

The bone spur snapped back, and using the force, it swung backward, its body once again merging into the spatial ripples, creating distance as if by teleportation.

On the edge of the battlefield, the survivors felt their scalps tingle and were filled with indescribable fear.

With their limited perspective, they were no longer able to grasp the direction of the situation.

This battle seems to have no physical form at all.

Only a golden streak of light and a dark blue-green mass collided wildly in mid-air.

Sometimes it appears, sometimes it disappears, sometimes it flies into the air, and sometimes it falls to the ground.

With each collision, the overflowing gale, like sharp blades, cut crisscrossing cracks into the surrounding walls.

The continuous, deafening roars sounded like heavy artillery bombarding the entire area.

The tremor caused the remaining roof tiles of the ancestral hall to fall off in a flurry, and the entire building teetered on the brink of collapse.

Xu Hao lay prone in a corner of the ruins, covering his ears with his hands.

Even so, the high-frequency sonic booms still made his eardrums ache.

Manager Wu helped Qian Dongming up, and the two of them scrambled to the back of the broken wall, where they curled up into a tight ball.

A piece of gravel, propelled by the blast wave, whistled past Qian Dongming's ear and blasted half of the head off the stone lion behind him.

Gravel splattered all over his face, startling Qian Dongming into letting out a distorted scream.

Not only them, but the surviving villagers also frantically searched for shelter, hoping to survive this catastrophe-like battle.

In mid-air, Jiang Chen used the spatial ripples to conceal his figure once again.

The next instant, a sense of impending death exploded behind Fang Cheng.

Four sharp bone spikes tore through the air with a piercing whistle, aimed directly at the back of his unsuspecting head.

This attack was completely hidden in a blind spot, and the timing was extremely cunning and insidious.

Even if many top athletes can react in time, the inertia of their bodies will never allow them to complete an evasive maneuver in mid-air.

However, while suspended in mid-air, Fang Cheng defied the laws of physics and forcibly twisted himself at an unbelievable angle.

Instead of dodging, he lowered his shoulders and pulled his elbows back, causing the muscles in his entire right arm to tighten like steel cables and expand rapidly.

The force of up to 80 points was transmitted from the waist and hips, segment by segment of the spine, and then thrust backward like a volcanic eruption from the fist.

Boom!
A powerful spinning punch landed squarely on the point where the bone spikes from Jiang Chen's sudden thrust met.

The violent impact traveled straight through his bones and into his internal organs, sending Jiang Chen's massive body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Fang Cheng used the "Falcon somersault" move, but was also thrown backward by the enormous reaction force.

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, shattering the blue bricks, and his whole body once again transformed into a cannonball, soaring into the sky and heading straight for the flying Jiang Chen.

It seems that no buffer or adjustment time is needed at all.

Jiang Chen, who was still flying backwards in mid-air, looked slightly surprised upon seeing this, and then a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Are we going to have to compete in speed?

With a thought, he immediately activated Instant Step, and his body vanished into thin air in an instant.

Seeing that his target had disappeared, Fang Cheng did not immediately rush in empty-handed.

At the peak speed of breaking the sound barrier, he forcefully stepped on a broken support column, twisting his ankle and abruptly changing his sprint trajectory.

Instead of tracking down where Jiang Chen disappeared, he swung his fist and delivered a powerful punch to an open space a dozen meters to his right.

The moment the fist tore through the air, a tiny ripple appeared in that void.

Jiang Chen, who had just finished his Instant Step and whose figure was only half revealed, hadn't even seen his surroundings clearly before he was headed straight for the iron fist that was carrying terrifying kinetic energy.

when--

The fist slammed into the bone spikes that Jiang Chen had hastily crossed to block, producing a loud sound like a morning bell and evening drum.

This time, Jiang Chen was forcibly smashed out of the void.

His body swayed violently, his feet plowing two deep furrows in the ground, and he finally managed to stop his retreat by crushing seven or eight bricks.

For the first time, an undisguised look of horror appeared on that face that had been frozen in place for two thousand years:

"You understand spatial manipulation? You can even predict where my Instant Step will land?!"

Fang Cheng landed steadily, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the rising golden flames burned away the trace of corpse energy clinging to his knuckles.

Is it difficult to predict where you'll land?

Jiang Chen stared intently at him, trying to find traces of spatial fluctuations on him.

Fang Cheng grinned:
"I have to thank Cheng Jiashu for telling me the truth about the activation principle and the defects of your Cheng family's bloodline ability."

Upon hearing this, the green fire in Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly flared up, and his withered face twitched violently with anger.

"This treacherous descendant who betrays his own family, once I catch him, I will surely tear his soul apart and refine his spirit!"

Jiang Chen roared to the sky, and the surrounding air vibrated with the sound waves.

Fang Cheng was calm and fearless, his arm muscles bulging as he assumed a tight fighting stance.

Be prepared to face a new round of head-on confrontation.

Meanwhile, in the ancient locust village outside the inner world.

A tall, slender figure in a white suit slowly walked in and appeared at the village entrance. (End of Chapter)
