Chapter 619: Chapter 173: Counter-kill in the Desolate Land, the Possessing Ancestor’s Soul Shattered by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner

"Hm?"

"Zhang Ling’Er’s" expression shifted slightly. She clearly hadn’t expected Chu Fan’s archery to be so exquisite.

She had to hastily change her move. With a quick snatch of her left hand, she just barely managed to catch the two incoming Black Kite Arrows, then squeezed hard!

CRACK!

The arrows shattered on cue!

But in the instant the arrowheads broke, the "Soul-splitting Godslayer" Trait hidden within them suddenly erupted!

"AHH!"

"AHH!"

Two utterly agonizing screams overlapped, echoing throughout the entire Mirror Image Space!

One was Zhang Ling’Er’s own sharp wail, filled with pain and despair;

The other was the aged roar of the Zhang Family Ancestor, laced with endless fury and disbelief!

"Zhang Ling’Er" suddenly clutched her head with her left hand. As if dealt a heavy blow, she collapsed painfully to her knees, her body trembling uncontrollably as the black qi around her grew chaotic!

"What... what’s going on?"

Tang Yu stared at the sudden turn of events, dumbfounded and utterly incredulous.

The arrows had clearly been caught and crushed, so why was this happening?

What kind of power was on those arrows that it could even harm the Zhang Family Ancestor?

At this moment, Zhang Ling’Er looked as if she were having a schizophrenic fit, writhing in agony.

Two illusory figures writhed and tore at each other around her body. They seemed to be trying to forcibly merge into one, but had just been violently blasted apart by that archery attack against the Divine Soul, unable to come together.

The weaker of the two phantoms was Zhang Ling’Er’s own soul;

While the more solid one, which radiated an ancient aura, was the Soul Division of the Zhang Family Ancestor!

’Kick him while he’s down!’

The thought flashed through Chu Fan’s mind. He gave his opponent no chance to breathe or recover.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Three more Black Kite Arrows tore through the air, faster and more powerful than before!

Each arrow was imbued with his incomparably strong Divine Sense Power and carried the terrifying Soul-splitting Godslayer Trait, aimed at tearing his opponent’s soul to shreds!

But having suffered a great loss once, how could the Zhang Family Ancestor fall for the same trick again?

The half-dead "Zhang Ling’Er," still kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up, a flash of madness and ferocity in her eyes.

She flung out her left hand!

WHOOSH!

A violent force, far exceeding the limits of the Acupoint Realm, erupted from thin air, forming an incredibly thick black wall of qi in front of her.

The three incoming Black Kite Arrows were shattered to pieces three feet in front of her!

However, in the brief instant the three Black Kite Arrows shattered, filling the air with wood splinters and obscuring the view!

"Shadow Step!"

Chu Fan, who had been drawing his bow over a hundred feet away, suddenly moved. He vanished from his spot, reappearing behind "Zhang Ling’Er" in an instant, like a phantom!

"Twelve True Forms Fist, Bear Form—Earth-Shaking!"

His fist, containing the terrifying power of the second level of the Vajra Undying Body and infused with both Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi, slammed directly into the back of "Zhang Ling’Er’s" head with the force of a howling gale, as if it could shatter mountains!

BOOM!

The Silver Armor Zhang Ling’Er wore instantly erupted with a terrifying defensive power. It flared with a brilliant light, just barely blocking Chu Fan’s heavy, powerful punch.

Even so, the immense force contained within his punch still smashed her head directly into the hard, black stone ground!

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Pressing his advantage, Chu Fan didn’t pause for a moment. His fists, like two heavy sledgehammers carrying immense power, landed three consecutive strikes on Zhang Ling’Er’s back!

Each punch was accompanied by a dull, heavy thud, like striking tanned leather, and made the surrounding ground tremble slightly.

After three punches, the Silver Armor on Zhang Ling’Er—which had been shimmering with colorful light and could even defend its master on its own—instantly dimmed, losing its former miraculous quality!

Then, the Silver Armor let out a mournful cry as if unable to bear the strain. With a CRACK, it was forcefully shattered by his blows, covered in a web of cracks!

"Hiss..."

Tang Yu, who had been casting a spell from afar to control the Black Dragon coiling around the Profound Cyan Shield, saw this shocking scene. His eye twitched, and he sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

That Silver Armor was a protective Ancient Treasure bestowed upon Zhang Ling’Er by the Zhang Family. Although its grade was lower than the Profound Cyan Shield, its defensive power was still astonishingly high...

And Chu Fan had shattered it with just his bare fists?!

’Is this the strength of his physical body? It’s... simply unimaginable!’

The last shred of pride Tang Yu held as a Bright Heart Realm expert was utterly crushed, completely obliterated.

"You ant! How dare you court death!"

Her soul grievously wounded by Chu Fan’s "Soul-splitting Godslayer" archery, "Zhang Ling’Er" now felt the waves of searing pain from her back. She was overcome with uncontrollable rage, her killing intent soaring to the heavens!

The Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division ignored the soul-rending agony, forcibly suppressed the resistance from Zhang Ling’Er’s own soul, and took complete control of the battered body.

The force around her body surged, sweeping out like a black hurricane. She spun around abruptly, her face twisted and ferocious!

"Die for this old man!"

Along with a deafening roar, a withered, stick-thin hand shot out, carrying a terrifying aura of death.

The five fingers formed a claw, tips wreathed in black qi, and lunged straight for Chu Fan’s face with the power to tear souls asunder!

This grab was as swift as lightning. The very space around it seemed to freeze, exuding a terrifying and suffocating pressure.

"..."

Before his opponent’s palm even touched him, Chu Fan could already feel a terrifyingly immense power descend, binding the very space around him.
