Chapter 1519 - 1505: Explosive Combat Power

Lin Chuan knows how much pain Qin Fang is in now, and Lin Chuan also knows Qin Zhengxiong's feelings at the moment. It's a pity that both of them and I are on opposing sides. If it weren't like this, with such deeply touching emotions, Lin Chuan would have actively helped Qin Fang.

Qin Fang is truly risking his life, the light around him burning like flames. After all, Qin Fang is handling attacks from three people, and these are attacks made in desperation for survival, naturally with considerable power.

Qin Zhengxiong can't help Qin Fang now but sees Qin Fang's resolute gaze. Qin Zhengxiong knows that what he has to do is quickly finish his ritual so he no longer has to witness Qin Fang's painful appearance.

Qin Zhengxiong's body continues to expand, but the speed is slowing down, clearly reaching a critical point.

Lin Chuan thought of something, quickly ran back to Hema's trio, bowed his head, and said to them, "You can't stay here now. I don't want what just happened to happen again, and I can't save you again. If you want me to return alive, you need to leave immediately.

At that moment, Lin Chuan's mind was divided into two thoughts: the first was to take the opportunity to attack Qin Zhengxiong, possibly breaking his ritual. The second was to let Hema's trio, whom he was concerned about, leave, so that he could fight without any distractions. After much deliberation, Lin Chuan chose the second option, because he didn't know what kind of trick Qin Zhengxiong was using. If he didn't break it and instead played into Qin Zhengxiong's hands, it would be disastrous.

Lin Chuan was right; since Qin Zhengxiong dared to use this move in front of Lin Chuan, he intended for Lin Chuan to approach him so that the ritual sacrifice would not be those people, but Lin Chuan instead.

"We won't leave, don't think we're so easily deceived!" said Xiao Han, "Even if it means dying together, because Lin Chuan's acting is just too terrible, even Xiao Han can see through it.

"Death!" Song Hui didn't take death seriously; instead, he maintained a fiery aura towards death, as if hoping for it!

Lin Chuan was very annoyed with Song Hui's expression, surprised that there were still people in this world who longed for death! He hit Song Hui on the head and said, "Why are you so unambitious? Who longs for death like this?" Song Hui chuckled foolishly and said, "Since the captain doesn't like death either, we must survive, regardless of life or death, I will be by your side!" Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, realizing he had been tricked by Xiao Han—they ultimately wanted him to survive, hoping everyone would come out alive.

"Rest assured! It won't be us who die, your captain here is full of miracles!" Lin Chuan looked towards Qin Zhengxiong, his eyes full of battle intent.

Qin Zhengxiong was almost completed, his skin starting to crack open, revealing bright red blood flowing inside. Surprisingly, the blood did not spill due to the skin's splitting, maintaining a human shape with no directional flow.

Skin quickly peeled off, and now Qin Zhengxiong's appearance was quite terrifying—nothing but blood, forming a red mass in the air, fear as far as the eye could see.

"Finally succeeded! Those people thought they could deceive me into believing that this move required others' help to use, but am I so easily tricked?" Qin Zhengxiong's voice seemed to descend from the sky, no mouth visible, "Blood Sacrifice... Blood Fusion!"

Lin Chuan witnessed this ability changing the weather for the first time; though not very noticeable, indeed the sky became gloomy due to Qin Zhengxiong's power.

Only now does Lin Chuan feel worried, realizing Qin Zhengxiong's ace is far stronger than imagined. He had been confident about defeating Qin Zhengxiong; now Lin Chuan questions where such confidence even stemmed from.

Qin Fang also noticed Qin Zhengxiong's transformation, something Qin Fang had seen before multiple times, but never with such an overwhelming presence capable of altering weather—is this really a power human beings can possess?

Blood in the air flew towards the prison made of plants surrounding Qin Fang; since it wasn't solid, Qin Zhengxiong could enter effortlessly, followed by agonizing screams echoing from within, resembling the sounds of despair at the sight of a demon—indeed, Qin Zhengxiong was scarier than any demon now.

After absorbing the trio's power, Qin Zhengxiong finally obtained immense strength, surprisingly finding exhilarating joy in the absorption.

Lin Chuan didn't attempt to stop it; he knew it would be too late, understanding Qin Zhengxiong's ultimate target was himself, specifically aiming for the terrifying power from Lin Chuan's earlier experience.

Seconds later, plants slowly returned to their original shape, revealing the inside—a person standing quietly, no bloodshed nor horror, only Qin Zhengxiong standing there!

Lin Chuan knows everything is an illusion, that Qin Zhengxiong is merely calm for now, but once he moves, ordinary people like himself won't be able to handle it!

The first sensation towards Lin Chuan was a mild breeze, leaving him puzzled by such little effect following such grandiose displays. Yet, the next moment, Lin Chuan realized being wrong as an enormous storm uprooted nearby trees effortlessly, sweeping Lin Chuan up unknowingly, flying tens of meters before halting—not because the wind stopped, but because Lin Chuan grabbed onto a large tree tightly, preventing further displacement.

Lin Chuan didn't hesitate, shouted fiercely: "Blue Amber."

The light of Blue Amber suddenly appeared, swiftly rushing towards Qin Zhengxiong like lightning, transforming into a massive blue brilliance, slashing down on Qin Zhengxiong ruthlessly.

"What a formidable battle!" Hema's trio was relatively lucky, as they fell into a low-lying area initially. Witnessing the shockwave above, Xiao Han lost confidence in his weapon for the first time, questioning human power—is this really human strength? Despite hiding here, the pressure alone was causing unbearable pain; if struck directly, survival was impossible—they knew even Lin Chuan stood no chance. Luckily the enemy wasn't targeting them!

As Blue Amber descended, Qin Zhengxiong, with his abilities, had every chance to dodge but instead appeared beside Qin Fang, shielding the unconscious Qin Fang with his body. The purple True Qi wrapping around him sought to protect Qin Fang. When the shockwave dispersed completely, Qin Zhengxiong had transformed into an egg—a purple egg indeed.

Under immense impact, even the light forcefully struck this egg, creating a scene akin to the proverbial egg striking stone.

The gap between Lin Chuan and Qin Zhengxiong was negligible. Lin Chuan understood that in his current state, he couldn't withstand Qin Zhengxiong's full-strength attack, necessitating finding a way to evade, yet Qin Zhengxiong taught him a lesson—that nothing in this world is impossible.

The eggshell cracked but perfectly preserved the person within. As it cracked, it dissolved like melted snow in spring, with Qin Zhengxiong still holding Qin Fang. Even in sleep, Qin Fang wore a smile, Lin Chuan could see from afar that Qin Zhengxiong's once pale face now resembled parched paper.

Lin Chuan quietly observed Qin Zhengxiong, his outward calm demeanor belying internal upheaval yet unable to pause, coldly saying, "Qin Zhengxiong, today you've impressed me. I'll grant you quick satisfaction, out of respect!"

Qin Zhengxiong laughed heartily and said, "Lin Chuan, do you think you can defeat me like this?"

...

Jiangbei City, Hongyuan Building.

At this moment, everyone's eyes focused on the man who just entered.

The others didn't recognize Fu Xi, but Lai Xiaole did, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Human King Fu Xi."

Zhang Wenhui and Song Xiaojia, hearing Lai Xiaole utter "Fu Xi," were immediately surprised. The man before them, seemingly in his thirties, had a refined aura, appearing perfectly commonplace.

The Master of Shadows also focused on Fu Xi, his expression hidden behind a mask.

"Master of Shadows, cease your actions," Fu Xi looked at him, his face expressionless, speaking softly.

The Master of Shadows sneered, responding, "You? What power do you have to make me stop?"

Fu Xi shook his head, saying, "Still unreconciled now? Very well, it seems I must discipline you on behalf of Xu Yuan."

Lai Xiaole and Song Xiaojia hadn't heard of Xu Yuan, but Zhang Wenhui, as Ksitigarbha, recognized it.

Upon hearing this name, the Master of Shadows trembled, his voice changing: "Just who are you? How do you know my master?"

Fu Xi, still expressionless, smiled faintly and said, "Xu Yuan was truly blind to accept you as a disciple, causing his own demise…"

Fu Xi's words were interrupted by the Master of Shadows' loud cry: "Shut up!"
