Chapter 90 The Gate of the Abyss (Fourth Update)

The alchemy demon clearly hadn't expected Chen Yue to respond in this way. Its full-force downward strike was deflected by this clever maneuver, causing it to lose its balance and the heavy alchemy furnace to involuntarily tilt to one side.

Along with its body gripping the stove handle, it was also propelled by this horizontal force, staggering a step closer to Chen Yue, and the central door instantly opened wide.

A glint flashed in Chen Yue's eyes, and his left palm, already poised to strike, was swirling with qi. Taking advantage of the moment when the alchemy ghost was unsteady, he swiftly slapped at the alchemy ghost's withered and twisted head.

The palm strike was fierce, aimed directly at his vital points!

For the first time, the alchemy demon showed a look of astonishment, but it was extremely confident in its speed.

Faced with Chen Yue's lightning-fast counterattack, the alchemy ghost let out a short, strange cry, and its dark blue-green ghost energy surged violently, causing its form to suddenly become blurry and transparent.

"roar!!!"

Another deep, majestic, and even more concentrated terrifying tiger roar burst forth from Chen Yue's throat.

This time, he compressed and condensed the power of Tiger Roar Breaking God with all his might, like a sonic spear, and blasted it all towards the alchemy ghost who was right next to him!

"Ugh!"

The alchemy ghost let out a mournful and painful howl. This tiger's roar, which was specifically designed to target the soul and intimidate the spirit, became even more powerful after being compressed and condensed, causing even greater damage to the ghost.

The alchemy ghost's already transparent and blurry figure began to twist and tremble violently. Its attempt to merge into the mist was forcibly interrupted, and its figure was pinned to the spot.

Chen Yue's left palm struck out without any resistance, its momentum even greater, and it slammed fiercely into the head of the alchemist ghost.

"ah!"

The alchemy ghost went completely mad. With nowhere to hide, it stopped trying to dodge and suddenly formed a claw with its five fingers. The dark blue ghost energy condensed into a tangible sharp light at the tip of the claw, and with a shrill whistle that tore through the air, it viciously stabbed towards Chen Yue's heart.

It's a mutually destructive fighting style!

"Bang!"

Chen Yue's left palm collided with the alchemist's left palm. The qi and the dark blue ghost qi clashed and annihilated each other, making a hissing sound.

Chen Yue swayed and took half a step back, his left palm feeling slightly numb.

The alchemy demon let out a painful howl.

Its left claw, like porcelain struck by a heavy hammer, shattered and exploded inch by inch, starting from the fingertip, turning into a churning and dissipating mass of dark blue-green ghostly energy, and the entire left hand disappeared instantly.

Clearly, having taken a full Tiger Roar God-Shattering Strike, the Alchemist Ghost's power and ghostly body were no longer as strong as Chen Yue's.

"Die! Die! Die!"

The alchemy demon roared in extreme rage, its remaining right claw gripping the furnace handle tightly, using the recoil from the collision to drag itself backward.

At its left hand, which had been shattered by Chen Yue, dark blue-black ghostly energy surged and gathered wildly, beginning to reshape itself at a visible speed, faintly re-condensing the outline of a palm.

Chen Yue's eyes narrowed. This alchemy ghost was essentially a ghost. As long as the core ghost body and yin energy did not dissipate, the injured parts could be quickly reshaped by consuming yin energy, which was much simpler and more brutal than the regeneration of severed limbs by human martial artists.

Moreover, at this moment, the sun in the sky is almost completely obscured, the yang energy in the world is suppressed to the lowest point, and the yin energy is so rich that it has reached its peak.

With the decline of one side and the rise of the other, the ghosts gained a greater advantage.

Chen Yue took a deep breath and activated the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover to its limit. His qi rose like flames on his body. With each step he took, he left a deep footprint on the bluestone ground. With unparalleled momentum, he charged towards the Alchemy Ghost once again.

Just as the alchemy ghost retreated rapidly, Chen Yue's left hand shot out like an iron clamp, his five fingers swirling with qi, and he firmly grasped the other side of the furnace.

"laugh!"

The initial sensation upon touching the metal was not the expected coldness, but rather a bone-chilling, penetrating cold, as if grasping a piece of ancient ice, with the chilling energy frantically seeping in.

However, Chen Yue's arm muscles bulged, and the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield caused his blood and qi to circulate violently, forcibly suppressing and dispelling this terrifying cold qi. His five fingers seemed to be rooted to the ground, gripping the furnace body tightly.

"you!"

The alchemist ghost froze abruptly, the ghostly green flames flickering in its eyes suddenly contracting, filled with disbelief and rage.

It never expected that Chen Yue would dare to grab its natal alchemy furnace, which had been refined with earth fire and poison, and it never expected that the other party's strength would be so great that he could forcibly stabilize the alchemy furnace, thus forcibly stopping its retreating figure.

The alchemy demon's dark blue-black ghostly aura erupted like flames, and its remaining right claw gripped the furnace handle tightly, desperately pulling backward, trying to shake off the furnace along with Chen Yue.

"roar!!!"

The third tiger roar exploded with a deafening roar!

"Ugh!"

The alchemy ghost's body trembled and twisted violently as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. The explosive momentum that had just been gathered, along with the ghost energy that was running wildly within its body, was abruptly interrupted and scattered by the tiger's roar that struck directly at the soul.

The force pulling on his right hand weakened by more than half in an instant, and he even felt momentarily unsteady due to the vibration of the ghost body.

Chen Yue suddenly exerted force with his waist, stomped his right foot on the ground, causing the bluestone to shatter. His left hand, which was gripping the alchemy furnace, burst forth with unparalleled strength. With a twist of his waist, he actually managed to drag the heavy alchemy furnace, along with the alchemy ghost clinging to the furnace handle, all at once.

A person and a ghost, a furnace and a line, instantly brought them closer.

The moment Chen Yue pulled his opponent close, his right palm, imbued with a powerful aura and terrifying force capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, struck the withered and twisted head of the alchemy ghost without any fancy moves.

The palm strike was fierce, filled with chilling killing intent!

"Kid! You think you're so great, huh?!"

The alchemy demon let out a shrill, almost piercing howl, filled with boundless resentment and madness.

Its right hand still gripped the alchemy furnace, unwilling to let go, while its shattered left hand couldn't fully recover in time. In desperation, it raised its right foot, and the ghostly energy on its foot condensed into a cone, kicking Chen Yue's lower abdomen with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.

It's still the same brute-force style of fighting that results in mutual destruction and using offense as a form of defense.

"Bang!"

Chen Yue's right palm, which was aimed at the opponent's head, landed on the alchemy ghost's raised right arm, which was trying to block. The powerful palm force caused the ghost's energy to scatter in all directions as the opponent hastily blocked the right arm, and the bones made a cracking sound as they could not bear the weight.

Chen Yue's right palm slowed down slightly before striking the junction of the left side of the neck and shoulder blade. The dark blue ghost body exploded with fine cracks, like a piece of inferior pottery.

Although the kick that the alchemy ghost delivered to Chen Yue's lower abdomen was blocked by the protective energy, the condensed yin and cold ghost energy and brute force still caused Chen Yue's blood and qi to fluctuate slightly, and his protective energy to fluctuate violently.

However, Chen Yue had already figured out the alchemist ghost's brute force-based nature, so when he struck out with this palm, he had already reserved three-tenths of his strength for variation.

Seeing that the alchemy ghost was about to make another move, Chen Yue did not retract his right palm that had struck the ghost's neck. Instead, he hooked his five fingers together, like an iron hook, and fixed the alchemy ghost's shattered shoulder blade, firmly fixing its ghostly body in place.

At the same time, he didn't use up all the force of his palm strike. At the moment of contact, he released his inner energy, turning the strike into a shockwave!

The shockwave of the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover Perfected Realm, combined with the fierce energy of the Vajra Palm, surged into the cracked ghost body of the Alchemy Ghost like a flood that had found a breach!

"boom!"

This time, it was a muffled thud as the ghost's internal structure was torn apart by the violent force. The alchemy ghost's left neck, shoulder blade, and even half of its chest exploded under Chen Yue's terrifying internal and external attack.

The sky was filled with the dissipating dark blue ghost energy and specks of cold phosphorescence. Its head was almost blown off, with only a wisp of ghost energy barely connecting it to its right half. Its aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and the ghost fire in its eyes dimmed and was about to go out.

"Heh ————·————"

The alchemy ghost let out a series of hissing sounds like it was leaking air. Its broken ghost body fell backward and crashed heavily onto the cold ground. Its only remaining right hand was still tightly gripping the handle of the alchemy furnace.

Chen Yue pressed his advantage relentlessly, and with a light step, his figure appeared beside the fallen alchemist ghost.

He raised his right foot, gathering qi on it, and stepped on the head of the alchemy ghost whose eerie green flames were flickering and about to go out!

"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!!!"

From the shattered head of the alchemy demon came a hysterical, frantic scream. Its still-intact left arm was raised to protect its head, trying to block Chen Yue's kick.

"boom!"

A cracking sound rang out, and the alchemist's left arm broke apart and shattered like rotten wood.

With no further obstruction, Chen Yue's feet continued to stomp down towards the broken skull.

However, just as Chen Yue's feet were about to touch the head of the alchemy ghost, the ghostly green eyes on the head, which had been filled with madness and resentment, suddenly calmed down.

Its gaze pierced through the shattered ghostly energy, meeting Chen Yue's downward gaze directly.

"Buzz!"

There was no sound, no impact, no light.

But the moment their eyes met, Chen Yue felt the whole world suddenly fall silent.

It wasn't the disappearance of sound, but rather as if time, space, perception, thought—everything—froze and stagnated at that moment, falling into an absolute, utter silence.

Chen Yue's foot hovered about an inch above the head of the alchemy demon, unable to fall any further.

The wind in the alleyway, the faint sounds of fighting in the distance, the howls of ghosts, even the surging blood and qi within my own body, the mind-nourishing mantra circulating in my consciousness—

Everything seemed to have been paused.

Only those calm, lifeless, ghostly eyes magnified infinitely in Chen Yue's pupils.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the mental barrier constructed by the Nourishing Heart Technique and the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield began to tremble and fluctuate violently.

All the external scenery quickly faded and blurred in Chen Yue's eyes, as if through a thick curtain of water.

Instead, a door suddenly opened before him.

The door was neither metal nor wood, but was engraved with countless twisted and painful human faces and indescribable runes, and was covered with sticky filth.

"Whoosh!"

The moment the door opened a crack, countless arms shot out wildly.

Chen Yue felt his body sinking downwards, his consciousness fading, and his connection with his physical body rapidly weakening.

"roar!!!"

A tiger's roar, far more ferocious than ever before, erupted without warning from the deepest part of Chen Yue's consciousness.
