Chapter 694: Chapter 693: Sending You to the West!

BOOM!

A fist and a palm collided.

A thunderous roar echoed between heaven and earth.

But this roar seemed to ring only in the minds of Yang Xiao and Nangong Xinghui. The world outside, in contrast, was eerily silent, without the slightest disturbance.

All that could be seen were countless cracks appearing in the void.

Like a dense web of black lightning, they spread out between Yang Xiao’s and Nangong Xinghui’s fist and palm.

It was a terrifying sight.

However,

the standoff lasted but a brief moment.

Perhaps not even that long.

An overwhelming force invaded Nangong Xinghui’s body, forcing him back several steps, each one making the earth tremble violently.

Only then did he manage to stabilize himself.

“Impossible! What is this Fist Technique? How can it contend with my Great Star Dominating Body? Could it be… the Flame Domain Divine King’s Flame Demon Emperor Fist?”

Nangong Xinghui roared.

His face was a mask of disbelief.

But Yang Xiao offered no response.

He simply raised his hand and sent another fist blasting toward Nangong Xinghui.

Seeing this,

Nangong Xinghui instantly understood that this bastard in front of him had no intention of letting him go.

He could no longer afford to ponder where this bastard had obtained an Emperor Realm Divine Technique.

He gritted his teeth, having apparently made a decision.

The aura around him intensified once more, but Yang Xiao still regarded it as nothing. At this moment, Nangong Xinghui’s power had barely scraped into the Divine Venerable Level.

While using the Flame Emperor Divine Fist, even without unleashing his full power,

Yang Xiao was absolutely certain he could defeat this guy in one fell swoop.

However, Nangong Xinghui was clearly unaware of this.

Or perhaps he refused to believe it.

As his aura grew stronger, a hint of confidence returned to his face. He, too, threw a punch.

Starlight gathered around his body.

That punch was like a star falling from the sky.

It smashed toward Yang Xiao’s incoming fist.

He snorted coldly. “Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me! Great Star Dominating Body, Celestial Star Divine Fist—kill!”

Amidst his furious roar,

the force of his fist seemed to grow even stronger.

A pity.

This strike, one delivered with all his might, was still defeated when it met Yang Xiao’s Flame Emperor Divine Fist.

He was once again sent flying by Yang Xiao.

Moreover,

this time was even more pathetic.

He was smashed straight into the ground by Yang Xiao.

The aura around his entire body instantly weakened by a full thirty percent.

Coupled with the threat from Yang Xiao

and the stench of death drawing near,

the will of the Star Emperor within Nangong Xinghui’s body was on the verge of awakening.

But at that very moment,

Nangong Xinghui forcibly suppressed it.

‘No, I can’t let Father’s will emerge! If it does, he’ll blame me for everything. Besides, I refuse to let him see me made into a laughingstock!’

he roared in his heart.

Nangong Xinghui forcefully pushed down the Great Emperor’s will inside him.

At the same time, he burst from the ground and walked out.

And at this time,

Yang Xiao’s third punch

arrived.

Seeing that terrifying fist, which showed not a shred of mercy,

hatred burned intensely in Nangong Xinghui’s heart.

‘This damn bastard isn’t giving me a moment’s rest! If I survive this, I’ll tear him limb from limb, no matter the cost!’

Nangong Xinghui gritted his teeth.

But he also knew.

He was likely no match for this guy.

Though his heart seethed with unwillingness,

he ultimately retained some of his reason.

After a quick calculation,

he knew his best way out was to flee.

However,

in order to come and kill Yang Xiao,

he had paid a great price to obtain a Breath Transformation Talisman. Moreover, to avoid being recognized, he hadn’t brought any of his usual items.

He didn’t even have a familiar Divine Soldier on hand.

Let alone a Jade Talisman for teleportation.

Ever since Nangong Xinghui had become a True God, he had always refined those items himself. Their destination was also his own residence on the Divine Land Continent: the Star Emperor Palace.

If he had dared to bring such an item and used it,

other Great Emperors might not have been able to trace it, but his own father, the Star Emperor, could have easily tracked him down.

Furthermore, a Teleportation Jade Talisman needed to be aimed and activated.

Not only would it easily leave a trail, but it also required time, making it unsuitable for use in a crisis.

Naturally, it wasn’t as straightforward as tearing open the void and escaping directly.

Therefore, Nangong Xinghui hadn’t brought a Teleportation Jade Talisman at all this time.

Because there was no need.

But now…

he truly wished he had a Jade Talisman that could teleport him away.

If he had a High-Tier Teleportation Talisman, while it would still require time to activate, it would also generate a protective barrier to block enemy attacks.

And such a High-Tier Teleportation Talisman…

would be incredibly difficult for an ordinary person to obtain, but for Nangong Xinghui, it was nothing.

With his status, he could easily get a Teleportation Jade Talisman refined by a High-tier Divine King, a common Great Emperor, or even the Star Emperor himself.

In that case,

this guy in front of him would surely be unable to kill him.

But now…

‘One wrong step leads to another. I misjudged this brat’s strength. Now, I can only rely on myself.’

With a thought,

Nangong Xinghui once again erupted with his full power,

and met Yang Xiao’s third incoming punch.

This punch was still powerful, seemingly aimed at taking Yang Xiao down with him in mutual destruction.

But in reality,

Nangong Xinghui had already planned his escape route.

‘As soon as this punch connects, I’ll use the momentum to fly backward. While he’s distracted, I’ll tear open the void and escape. It’ll look pathetic, but it’s my only option right now.’

With this thought in mind,

the power in Nangong Xinghui’s strike became somewhat illusory and unfocused.

But its momentum was still immense.

But could such a feint really fool Yang Xiao?

If he were merely an ordinary Divine General Peak existence, even a genius, there would be a ninety-nine percent chance he wouldn’t see through it at this moment.

But this man was a peerless monster who had lived for three lifetimes.

His Combat Power in his first life was unrivaled; the strength of a Tier Seventeen Ultimate Divine King was no joke.

Otherwise,

how could he have dared, as a mere Divine King, to call himself the Flame Emperor?

Even if he dared,

would the other Great Emperors have accepted it?

Would they not have wanted to kill him?

After all, Great Emperor and Divine King are two different levels.

Dragons do not dwell with snakes.

Yet, in his first life, Yang Xiao was able to call himself the Flame Emperor without incurring the dissatisfaction of other Great Emperors.

This was because,

though he was a Divine King, he was also a supreme True Dragon.

He was not a snake to be looked down upon.

Of course, even if he were a snake,

he would be a colossal serpent capable of devouring heavens and eating dragons.

How could his eyes fail to see through Nangong Xinghui’s ploy?

Instantly, he let out a cold sneer.

The power in his hand intensified.

“Since you’re looking for death, this fist of mine will send you to your grave!”
