Chapter 364: Chapter 195: Engage! Engage! Engage!

"Obviously. Who else would I ask?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Ah, it’s nothing, I’m fine too."

Li Dao Yuan said hastily.

He’d also suffered internal injuries from the shockwave, but after taking a healing Holy Pill, he figured he could hold on for a little while longer.

"Alright then. You two look after each other. I’m off."

Chen Xuan turned and left.

BOOM!

He had just turned when another terrifying aura erupted from the darkness. A Northern Barbarian expert lunged at him with lightning speed, striking a palm against Chen Xuan’s chest. He sneered,

"Didn’t see that coming, did you, Yama Chen? Daring to chat during a life-and-death struggle? This is what you get!"

SQUELCH!

Chen Xuan’s response was swift and direct: his hand shot out.

His five fingers instantly locked onto the man’s face, gripping it like a watermelon. The man’s eyes widened in terror. Just as he was about to scream, there was a CRUNCH, and his face was crushed.

[...retribution points +100,000!]

Chen Xuan tossed the corpse aside and vanished, heading off to continue the slaughter elsewhere.

The chaos continued.

Fights broke out continuously, and experts were dropping like flies.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had killed four more Northern Barbarian experts. His retribution points were soaring.

...

「In another direction.」

A Northern Barbarian Outer Saint—short, skinny, and wrapped in a long green robe—had a cold, cruel expression. A bizarre, potent poison emanated from his body, blanketing everything. Wherever he walked, the ground corroded in large swathes...

The very air sizzled and blurred in his wake.

Before him, four heavily injured Outer Saints from Great Xia were in full retreat.

Even Master Fa Chan, fifth on the Heavenly Ranking, was poisoned, his face a dark, purplish black...

Seven or eight corpses lay scattered around them.

"He has the Ten Thousand Calamities Poison Body, one of the nine forbidden disaster-class constitutions! Quick, don’t engage him! Everyone fall back!"

Master Fa Chan roared.

"The Ten Thousand Calamities Poison Body?"

"Dammit! No wonder he’s so insidious!"

The other experts looked on with shock and fury.

They hadn’t even made physical contact with him, only traded blows using their True Essence, yet they were still poisoned.

It was as if the man’s poison could seep through anything.

"Fall back!"

All four Outer Saints were in a frantic retreat.

"Fall back? And where could you possibly run?"

A faint smile touched the old man’s lips. "Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you can’t escape your fate. Once my poison has touched you, I can find you no matter where you hide!"

What was a forbidden disaster-class constitution?

They were walking calamities, living apocalypses.

Every single one was terrifying beyond measure.

While their ultimate potential couldn’t match a Perfected Great Saint Body, their destructive power alone was second to none.

They were born to be harbingers of doom!

They were the mortal agents of world-ending Immortal Gods, masters of all kinds of calamities.

With a single thought, one could scorch the earth for thousands of miles; with another, one could flood the very mountains and rivers.

Or, like this man, they wielded a potent poison that turned everything in their path to ash.

"I don’t care about anyone else. But today, not one of you four is leaving here alive. It won’t matter who comes to help you."

The old man smiled as he advanced step by step. "I hear you have a prodigy on your side named Chen Xuan. He’s the one who killed Su Lun, isn’t he? I was quite looking forward to meeting him. But alas, I haven’t seen a trace of him since I arrived. I wonder if he’s deliberately avoiding me, or if fate has simply kept us apart. No matter. Once I’ve killed you four, I’ll take my time and find him."

"No need to look for me. I’m right here!"

A cold voice rang out from behind him.

The next moment, the hair on the back of the old man’s neck stood on end. A sense of dread washed over him as he instinctively felt an unseen danger.

’How is this possible?’

He instinctively sent a massive surge of poison billowing out behind him.

BAM!!

With a deafening boom, a terrifying, scorching force slammed squarely into his back. It instantly shredded his robes and punched straight through his chest. He vomited a torrent of blood as bone fragments and chunks of flesh flew in every direction.

Even his internal organs were pulverized by the impact.

His entire body was sent hurtling forward.

Before the old man could even react, Chen Xuan shot past him, wreathed in golden flames. He unleashed a barrage of countless fist-shadows, a veritable storm that rained down from above.

The old man coughed up mouthfuls of blood as he frantically unleashed his poison, sending it surging toward Chen Xuan as if it cost him nothing. He hoped to poison Chen Xuan to death, or at least slow his barrage of fists.

But it was utterly useless.

Terrifying, scorching, immense, boundless, crackling with lightning...

Wave after wave of unimaginable power crushed down on him, shattering his True Essence and breaking his bones. Chen Xuan treated his body like a ragged sack, hammering it relentlessly.

A series of bloodcurdling screams erupted from the old man’s mouth.

"AAAAHHHH..."

The pupils of Master Fa Chan and the four Outer Saints contracted as they watched the terrifying scene, their faces etched with shock.

They couldn’t believe their eyes.

"Young Hero Chen, watch out for his poison!"

Master Fa Chan shouted a warning.

But Chen Xuan seemed not to hear him at all. Surrounded by scorching golden flames, he continued to vent his terrifying power, hammering down on the old man without holding anything back.

The ground trembled violently and continued to corrode as the terrifying poison mixed with the powerful golden flames, swirling in a chaotic vortex...

[You have publicly beaten an Outer Saint Level expert to death, causing them to suffer a mental collapse and die a miserable death. Retribution points +160,000!]

A line of text appeared.

RUMBLE!

With one final boom, Chen Xuan finally came to a stop.

There was no trace of the old man left.

Under the flurry of his furious fists, the old man had been beaten into a bloody pulp, then into nothing but dust.

The potent poison swept out in all directions, an unknown amount of it boring into Chen Xuan’s body...

But his Innate Tyrant Body quickly began to take effect.
