Chapter 286 Crushing Sword Qi with Bare Hands!

His lightness skill was already top-notch in the martial arts world, far surpassing even ordinary innate masters, but Chen Zhan's pursuit method...
This completely overturned his understanding!

Chen Zhan was simply destroying everything. Everything he saw and touched flew away at the slightest touch, and was crushed to pieces with a single crushing blow, sweeping away thousands of troops.

"Is this some kind of light-footed skill?"

Since ancient times, "lightness skill" has been a technique for moving lightly, leaping several meters in the air and gliding across several meters in the distance, as ethereal as a fairy.

Chen Zhan's destructive power is simply outrageous!

"Die!"

King Yama gritted his teeth and turned around. His Azure Serpent Soft Sword, glowing with a rich golden light, unleashed a sword aura that slashed straight at Chen Zhan's face.

He wanted to use the moment when the sword energy blocked him to create distance and continue his escape.

Chen Zhan stared at the sword energy, neither dodging nor avoiding it, but instead met it head-on, his five fingers forming eagle claws.

He seized the sword energy as easily as an eagle catching a rabbit.

"Bang~!"

The golden sword energy couldn't withstand a moment in Chen Zhan's hand and was crushed!
My hands only felt a slight burning sensation, and there was a small cut on my palm, but no blood came out.

This scene horrified King Yama, his heart pounding wildly. What the hell was that thing? It crushed innate internal energy!
Chen Zhan snorted coldly, "I didn't tell you to leave!"

He crushed the sword energy, but his speed did not decrease. Instead, he stomped on the ground and shot out, rising several meters high. In an instant, he rushed in front of King Yama. His right hand formed a fist, carrying the power to shatter mountains and split rocks. The fist struck straight at King Yama's chest.

This punch unleashed a torrent of energy, compressing the surrounding air to produce a muffled buzzing sound.

King Yama was terrified and hurriedly drew his sword to block.

"Cang!" a crisp sound.

The Jade Serpent Soft Sword was bent into an arc by the fist, and the pale golden internal energy instantly dissipated. He felt a tremendous force surge into his body along the sword, as if his internal organs had shifted. He spat out blood and flew backward.

Chen Zhan's figure blurred as he chased after him like a shadow. In the eyes of the Wheel King, Chen Zhan was like a divine tiger descended to earth, ferocious beyond human comprehension.

Chen Zhan stepped forward, and King Yama frantically gathered his inner strength and energy in his chest.
"boom!"

Chen Zhan's immense strength clashed with the frantically condensing golden internal energy.

King Yama was kicked into the ground by Chen Zhan, leaving a large, human-shaped crater.

With his left foot, he pressed down on the Wheel King's chest, pinning him firmly to the ground. With a slight exertion of his foot, the sound of his inner force shield shattering rang out, "Crack! Crack!"

"What the hell kind of monster are you?!"

King Yama roared hoarsely, and at the same time, his innate internal energy reversed, flowing backward along his meridians, passing through his dantian and all the acupoints of his body, and frantically gathering at his Tanzhong acupoint!

"I want you dead! I want you dead!"

With a burst of fury and slight crackling sounds emanating from his acupoints, King Yama's aura surged, and internal energy erupted from every acupoint on his body, far more violent than before!

Chen Zhan felt the violent golden internal force beneath his feet and saw wisps of black energy surging from the Tanzhong acupoint of the Wheel King.

King Yama also began to change.

"This is more like it."

Chen Zhan smiled and took two steps back.

"Bang!!!"

The earth and rocks shattered, and King Yama flew out from within. His hood was shattered by Chen Zhan, and his mustache disappeared. His hair was disheveled, and black internal energy flowed continuously from his Tanzhong acupoint, swirling around his body, while the golden internal energy grew increasingly intense.

“That’s right, that’s more like it. You were too weak before, not worthy of your mysterious identity,” Chen Zhan said with a smile.

The aura surrounding King Yama was extremely unstable, a mixture of black and gold, and his inner force would leak out from time to time, crushing the surrounding dirt again.

"Very well, you forced me to push myself to the limit. It will take me at least a year to recover. You deserve to die!"

The Wheel King still had blood on the corner of his mouth and was speaking in a somewhat deranged manner.

"Don't worry, you won't have a chance to recover."

Chen Zhan made his move immediately, his figure flashing through the forest.

King Yama reacted quickly, unleashing his black and gold true energy with a roar.

"Oh!"

Two loud explosions rang out simultaneously. One person's black-gold internal energy surged like a raging torrent, while the other's blood and qi soared to the sky like a crimson glow piercing the sun.

King Yama unleashed both palms simultaneously, unleashing his inner strength at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm without reservation. The black and gold interwoven palm wind, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, struck Chen Zhan's face directly.

This palm strike gathers all the power of his reverse-flow secret technique. The internal force is as solid as steel, and it can shatter bones upon contact. It is his trump card, the "Mysterious Origin Shattering Mountain Palm", which is several times stronger than the previous "Mysterious Origin Breaking Meridian Force" and is enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Instead of retreating, Chen Zhan advanced, his blood and qi surging suddenly. His originally scabbed and charred skin turned a light red, his muscles bulged like a dragon, and every inch of his bones made a slight popping sound.

Without any fancy moves, he clenched his right fist, the force of which, carrying surging blood and qi, blasted out like a heavy cannon.

Xingyi Cannon Fist.

The moment fists and palms collided, there was no clanging of metal against metal, only a deafening roar.

A powerful shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them, snapping the surrounding trees in response. The tree trunks flew backwards and crashed into the distant rocks, shattering into dust.

The ground cracked open, creating a ravine several meters wide. Soil and rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Even the air was compressed and distorted by this enormous force.

Shen Tong watched from a distance, completely terrified. As soon as he caught up, he instinctively took a few steps back and used his arm to block the flying debris.

He could clearly feel that terrifying power, as if even the earth was trembling. This was no longer a battle that should exist in the human world. Even a master of innate cultivation could not be this terrifying.

"Pfft~!" King Yama felt a force several times stronger than before surge into his body through his arms, and his inner strength at the peak of the Innate Realm was instantly dispersed.

His metacarpal bones cracked, his palms were covered in blood, and he was sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow, crashing heavily into an ancient tree that had stood for a thousand years, denting the trunk and sending bark fragments flying everywhere.

Chen Zhan was also forced back three steps by the force of the palm strike, and the soil and rocks beneath his feet were crushed.

He shook his fist, and the scabs on his arm cracked open in two lines.

"Cough cough~"

His blood and qi were still surging, and the recoil from that palm strike had aggravated his injuries. Fortunately, his [Self-Healing] talent was still intact, and it was activated tenfold during the battle, so even minor damage was no problem.

On the contrary, the longer it drags on, the better for him.

I've tested it before; the talent can't be exploited by bugs. Only real combat can trigger ten times the self-healing. Overpowering opponents is completely ineffective.

Otherwise, Chen Zhan only needed to find a few henchmen to fight for a while each day, and he would recover in ten days or half a month.
That last burst used up 70% of his vital energy, exceeding the total amount he could muster. King Yama probably can't hold on.

King Yama struggled to his feet, blood gushing from his mouth, his hair disheveled, looking like a madman.

His palms were ruined, the bones shattered, and his internal energy flow was sluggish, but the madness in his eyes was even greater: "Impossible! I have already entered the Innate Realm, how could you possibly stop me!"

Unwilling to give up, he activated his secret technique once more, his black and gold inner energy surging wildly around him, forcibly mending the broken palm bones temporarily. His palms transformed into claws, carrying a chilling black aura, and he reached for Chen Zhan's throat.

This claw strike has no set moves, only pure killing intent and violent internal energy; it's a suicidal fighting style.

Chen Zhan swayed, his footwork reaching its peak as he dodged the claw wind. At the same time, his left hand gripped the Wheel King's wrist like an iron clamp, while his right fist clenched and thrust straight at his dantian.

The art of boxing emphasizes "grabbing, striking, seizing, and throwing," with each move targeting vital points. Although he has now broken free from the constraints of internal martial arts, this fighting style remains effective, bringing its essence to its fullest potential.

"Crack!"

Chen Zhan crushed King Yama's wrist, and he screamed in agony as intense pain shot through his dantian.

Chen Zhan's fist struck his dantian, and a surge of powerful qi and blood rushed in with the force of the punch, causing his internal energy in his dantian to become disordered, and the effect of the secret technique instantly diminished by more than half.

"what--!"

King Yama let out a shrill roar, suddenly opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of black blood mist, which flashed with phosphorescence. The blood mist was filled with deadly poison. He had crushed his poisonous fangs beforehand to absorb the poison, and then used his internal energy to unleash the poison.

He spews poisonous mist, but instead of spreading as fog, the mist condenses into poison arrows, and combined with his innate internal energy, they move at an extreme speed.

Chen Zhan's eyes turned cold. The two were too close, and he really hadn't expected this move.

He waved his hand to block, but the poisoned arrow pierced the back of his hand, frantically eroding the blood and qi in Chen Zhan's hand, melting out holes in the pale red blood and qi.

The poisoned arrow corroded, "sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~"

Even he felt some pain; the skin on the back of his hand was instantly corroded as the poisonous mist spread into his hand and eroded his meridians.

Chen Zhan's golden core spun rapidly within his dantian, his qi and blood erupting and surging into his arm with a "poof!"

The poisonous mist was suddenly forced out of his body and reflected onto King Yama's face.

"what--!!"

With his way, he also gave his body.

King Yama was enveloped in poisonous fog, and at the same time, Chen Zhan kicked out with his right foot, striking King Yama squarely in the chest.

This kick contained immense force, sending King Yama flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

As the poisonous fog dissipated, Chen Zhan slowly stepped forward, looking at the fallen King of Wheels without a trace of pity in his eyes.

King Yama lay on the ground, his dantian shattered, his inner strength completely dissipated, and the backlash from the secret technique had severed his meridians, leaving him powerless to resist.

Chen Zhan took two steps, picked up the Jade Serpent Soft Sword. The sword was entirely emerald green, long and narrow. With a shake, the long sword trembled like an emerald green snake, extremely agile.

"That sword is really nice!"

Chen Zhan couldn't help but marvel that the sword hadn't shattered despite his fierce blows, and it hadn't even chipped or cracked after several hard clashes with the Embroidered Spring Blade.

That's really good.

Approaching King Yama, he raised his longsword. King Yama was not dead yet; his innate internal energy could even nourish his life force, making his vitality strong enough.

"Wait!" King Yama suddenly shouted, "I know all the secrets of the Black Stone, the true purpose of the Buddha's Relic, and I also know Wang An's conspiracy. As long as you spare my life, I will tell you everything!"

Chen Zhan paused, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't particularly interested in the secrets of the Black Stone or Wang An's conspiracy, but he was curious about the true purpose of the Buddha Relic.

Just then, a cunning glint flashed in King Yama's eyes. Taking advantage of Chen Zhan's momentary hesitation, he suddenly pulled out a black token from his robes and infused it with his last bit of internal energy. The token instantly erupted with a powerful black light, and a dark shadow darted out from within, rushing straight for Chen Zhan's face.

"Ok?"

Chen Zhan snorted coldly, already sensing that something was wrong.

His left hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the shadowy figure by the neck. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a completely black scorpion, several times larger than an ordinary scorpion, with a bluish luster to its stinger, clearly extremely venomous.

"Pfft!"

Chen Zhan pinched the scorpion between his fingers, crushing it to pieces. Black venom splattered on the ground, making a sizzling sound and corroding small pits.

King Yama, seeing that his sneak attack had failed, was utterly desperate.

"Crack!"

The sound of his neck breaking was clearly audible. The Wheel King's screams came to an abrupt halt as a large amount of blood gushed from his mouth and his eyes gradually became unfocused.

Chen Zhan watched him die, and without the slightest hesitation, bent down, picked up the corpse of King Yama, and turned to walk towards Shen Tong.
