Chapter 532 - 232: Wanna Act Tough? I’ll Smash Your Ass!

Chapter 532: Chapter 232: Wanna Act Tough? I’ll Smash Your Ass!

Anyone who dared shake his hand would die without even knowing what hit them.

However, Chen Xuan was utterly fearless. He stepped forward and firmly gripped the other man’s hand.

A savage smile flashed across Venerable Black Wood’s face.

His five fingers transformed into something like a dragon’s claw as he suddenly squeezed. He activated the power of his formidable physique, and a raging black flame seemed to ignite within his flesh, suffusing it with an immeasurable strength.

"You little brat, do you even know your place?"

Elder Black Wood’s face twisted into a savage grin. "A mere ant from the shallow darkness dares to show its face here! Kneel for me!"

CRACK!

BANG!

A loud crunch echoed out as blood splattered and bone shattered.

Broad smiles spread across the faces of the crowd.

Venerable Black Wood was truly living up to his name.

The strength of his physical body was truly unparalleled.

He had blown the man’s hand apart and crushed his arm in a single move.

Such power was astounding.

But soon, their expressions changed drastically as they realized something was wrong.

"AHHH!"

An unusually blood-curdling scream erupted, echoing throughout the area.

Venerable Black Wood’s face was contorted in agony and his voice was wretched. His entire hand, like rotted wood, was exploding inch by inch. Stark white bone was exposed as blood gushed madly.

Terror filled him, and he frantically tried to retreat. But the instant his hand was crushed, Chen Xuan grabbed him by the broken wrist, yanked him forward, and clamped a large hand over his forehead.

In that single moment, Elder Black Wood felt as though an ancient, savage beast had seized his skull. His skin and bones ached with a piercing pain, and an immense terror swelled in his heart.

"We can talk..."

CRUNCH!!

With a sickening squelch, flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

Venerable Black Wood, renowned for his powerful physique, had his skull crushed on the spot by Chen Xuan, unable to withstand a single blow. Then, Unwarranted Heart Fire and the lightning of the Five Thunders instantly surged into his corpse, obliterating every last trace of his life force.

[...Retribution points +150,000!]

Chen Xuan casually tossed the corpse aside.

"Worthless. You couldn’t even manage a proper handshake. And here I thought you were supposed to be strong."

Chen Xuan’s tone was dismissive.

The onlookers stared in shock, their minds reeling as if struck by tidal waves.

’How is this possible?’

’Venerable Black Wood...’

’Crushed to death so easily, just like that?’

’Is this some kind of joke?’

’Is he really from the shallow darkness?’

"And the rest of you," Chen Xuan continued, "don’t you want a piece of me too? I’m right here. Every last one of you can come at me. No more excuses, no more bullshit. Just fight."

Chen Xuan’s cold gaze swept over the remaining crowd. "That’s right, I’m from the shallow darkness. You’re all high-and-mighty celestials, and I’m just a rock in the mud. I know you can’t stand the sight of me, so come on. Make your move. Why the hypocrisy? What good does it do you? I’ll even let you all attack at once. Come on, kill me! Grind me into the dirt! Show me that superiority and pride you’re so famous for. Come here and end me!"

He gestured scornfully at the crowd.

’And I thought they were supposed to be strong.’

’They’re all just trash on the same level as Lu Chenzhou.’

’I could easily crush Lu Chenzhou back when I was only at the Dharma Seventh Layer.’

’Not to mention I’m now at the Half-Step Grotto Heaven realm.’

’I expected the experts here to be formidable, but it turns out they’re all useless.’

’As for the Grotto Heaven Realm masters that guy mentioned earlier, I haven’t seen a single one.’

’This is a nice pile of retribution points waiting to be harvested.’

’And I’m going to reap every last one!’

"..."

The faces of the crowd darkened, and an icy chill filled their hearts.

’He’s courting death!’

They were so angry they almost had to laugh.

’Just listen to him. Just fucking listen to him.’

’A mere nobody from the shallow darkness dares to speak to them like that?’

’He’s even more arrogant than Feng Wuji was back in his day!’

’Feng Wuji could afford to be arrogant back then because he had his master, Gu Yuntian, watching his back.’

’But what right do you fucking have?’

’Feng Wuji’s master has long been trapped in the depths of the darkness; he’s as good as dead.’

’Even Feng Wuji doesn’t dare to be arrogant anymore, yet you still do?’

They felt like their entire worldview was being turned upside down.

’Does everyone from this shallow darkness have such balls?’

’First, there was Gu Yuntian!’

’Then came Feng Wuji!’

’And now some other nobody pops up!’

’Who the fuck are you?’

"Feng Wuji, who in the world is he? Out of respect for our past dealings, we won’t make things difficult for you. If you just kneel down and personally apologize to us, we can let you leave."

The speaker, a figure in a blue robe, suddenly let out a sneer. He fixed his gaze on Chen Xuan and said, "However, you can’t take this person with you. He’s a dead man. I guarantee it!"

"How about I’m your daddy?"

Chen Xuan whipped his head around, his eyes sweeping over the man. "If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you asking your daddy for permission?" he said coldly. "What’s a piece of trash like you got left besides that mouth?! You say *I’m* a dead man? Is your own daddy dead yet?"

"You’re courting death!"

The blue-robed figure’s face flushed with anger.

To the side, Chu Shanhe broke out in an uncontrollable cold sweat.

’He was realizing that Chen Xuan’s sharp tongue was truly merciless when he had the upper hand.’

’He was like this back in the True Essence Realm.’

’And he was still the same now that he’d reached the Peak of Dharma.’

’He hadn’t fucking changed one bit.’

’The only thing that had changed was his strength.’

’I can’t keep up with Chen Xuan’s growth anymore.’

Feng Wuji, however, suddenly chuckled. Seemingly throwing all caution to the wind, he laughed lightly and said, "Zhuo Yunsheng, if you’re going to make a move, then make a move. Why ask so many questions? Didn’t you hear my friend? He said he’s your daddy. Are you happy now?"

"Feng Wuji, you’re fucking courting death too!"

The blue-robed figure roared in fury.

"Enough! Stop wasting words on them! Both Feng Wuji and this young man must die!"
