Chapter 481: Chapter 224: Killing Spree on Beings of the Dark Depths! The Taboo Figures All Appear

Chen Xuan’s heart tightened. His reaction was incredibly fast; he spun around on the spot, a torrent of lightning and fire erupting from him as he slapped his palm viciously behind him.

The newcomer had approached without a sound, and stranger still, without a trace of malice.

This was completely unexpected.

Clearly, his opponent had studied him carefully and knew he could perceive malice.

That was why they had not only approached silently but had also suppressed all killing intent, hatred, and malice.

Only when they were right behind him did their aura suddenly erupt.

SMACK!

A muffled thud rang out.

Chen Xuan’s palm slammed viciously against a hand that was pale and sinister.

The next moment, a surging power of darkness erupted.

It was like a fount of pollution had suddenly burst forth—somber, foul, and immense—assaulting Chen Xuan with overwhelming force.

This strange darkness seemed capable of corroding and destroying everything in the world.

The entire area was suddenly filled with a bizarre aura that induced nausea, retching, and dizziness. Within the strange darkness, there were even countless tiny, scarlet insects, swarming so densely it was utterly sickening.

On the ground, the two men still being incinerated by the Unwarranted Heart Fire grimaced in pain, yet a savage smile spread across their faces.

’Yes! Our companion is finally back!’

’Chen Xuan is a dead man!!’

"Xiao Qian, kill him! Quickly!"

Wuu Chong cried out in agony from the ground.

The figure named Xiao Qian, his eyes cold, remained hidden within the darkness, channeling all his dark power to surge toward Chen Xuan’s palm.

Just as Chen Xuan had suspected, he had indeed arrived much earlier.

He had just been hiding in the shadows the whole time.

He was waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Die!"

He frantically channeled his dark Elemental Power, shrouding himself in the strange darkness as he charged toward Chen Xuan.

’My Elemental Power is your poison!’

’I know you can ignore darkness, that you’ve resisted its corruption before.’

’But this palm strike of mine contains more than just darkness.’

’It is also infused with a curse.’

’It’s a venomous Gu I’ve spent three hundred years cultivating.’

’Once it hits, no matter how strong you are, you will be affected.’

But soon, the expression on Xiao Qian’s face changed.

CRACK!

BANG!

With a sharp crack, his hand actually began to shatter inch by inch, completely destroyed by the force of Chen Xuan’s palm. Fingers, flesh, and bone fragments flew everywhere.

At the same time, bizarre lightning and fire rapidly surged from his shattered hand, up his arm and shoulder, and toward the rest of his body. The black membrane within him trembled frantically as it tried to resist the attack.

A cold glint appeared in Xiao Qian’s eyes, as if he had anticipated this lightning and fire.

He let out a savage grin. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"Die! My entire body is poison. You might have been fine if you hadn’t broken my flesh, but now that you have, you’ll only die faster!"

BOOM!

All the blood from his severed hand surged rapidly toward Chen Xuan.

At the same time, a vast, dense black mist swept out, blanketing everything.

But Chen Xuan, shrouded in a golden radiance, seemed completely unaffected. He broke through the assault of poisoned blood and black mist in an instant, his palm landing squarely on his opponent’s chest.

CRACK!

The blow caved in his opponent’s chest on the spot. His body flew backward like a broken sack, spraying a torrent of blood as countless bones shattered.

The so-called black membrane resisted a small portion of Chen Xuan’s power, but it was no match for its full force.

"Your whole body is poison?"

Chen Xuan’s voice was icy as a searing heat wave rolled off him. His Unity of Heaven and Man and Innate Tyrant Body abilities activated almost simultaneously.

The Unity of Heaven and Man resisted all the encroaching darkness.

Meanwhile, his Innate Tyrant Body began to rapidly recover, and the potent poison within him flickered before being continuously expelled from his body.

"What is this garbage? You actually think it amounts to anything?"

He exhaled a turbid breath, expelling all the poison that had invaded his organs. Taking a step forward, his gaze suddenly fell upon the two men on the ground being burned by the Heart Fire. "And you two," he said coldly, "what were you shouting about just now? Was I not torturing you enough?"

BOOM!

With a casual wave of his hand, he intensified the output of the Heart Fire.

Aaaah!

Xue Gui and Wuu Chong immediately let out even more wretched screams. They thrashed on the ground, slamming their heads against the dirt as if suffering the pain of a thousand cuts. It was agony beyond words.

Chen Xuan turned and walked toward Xiao Qian again.

Blood trickled from the corner of Xiao Qian’s mouth as he flipped to his feet in the distance. Not only was his arm broken, but his chest was also completely caved in.

His face was a mask of shock as he stared at Chen Xuan.

"Just what kind of creature are you?"

"Creature?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed, glinting with a dangerous light. "Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?"

WHOOSH!

His body vanished in an instant, reappearing right next to Xiao Qian in a blur of scorching heat and lightning. He swung his palm sideways at his head.

Xiao Qian’s pupils contracted. His reaction was lightning-fast, and he instantly moved to block. In a flash, a thick, black Elemental Power erupted from his body—frigid, dark, and filled with a filthy aura.

But just like before, he had underestimated Chen Xuan’s strength.

The block was completely useless.

With a CRACK, the gathered black Elemental Power was blown apart by Chen Xuan’s palm. The terrifyingly powerful strike then slammed into his arm, shattering it on the spot before continuing on to smack him across the face, sending his body flying sideways once again.

He flipped over in the distance and stood up again, his head now twisted at an unnatural angle.

But now, a strange smile crept across Xiao Qian’s face.

There was no trace of fear in him at all.

"Not bad. Your power is impressive, indeed. But unfortunately for you, you can’t kill me!"

CRACKLE! POP!

A series of cracking sounds came from his body, and in the blink of an eye, all of his injuries healed once more.

"Did you really think I’m comparable to those two weaklings? Chen Xuan, I’ve investigated you. I know your strength. But it’s a pity you have no idea what you’re up against. Every time I’m injured, my power doubles. Every time I die, it triples! Hahahahaha..."
