However, Mu Chen had no intention of stopping. Thunder Light flickered at his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Thunder Demon, matching the speed of his backward flight. He raised his right arm again as the Red Lotus Ice Technique construct behind him shattered once more.
The Ice Crystal particles were absorbed once more, and raging, pitch-black flames erupted, swelling to more than three times their previous size. He cocked his arm back and threw a punch imbued with his full strength!
CRACK!!
A crisp crack echoed from Thunder Demon’s chest. The Thunder Gang Saber had snapped in two!
Mu Chen frowned, his eyes revealing deep surprise. The surprise wasn’t because he had broken the Thunder Gang Saber. It was because after shattering the saber, his fist had connected with the three-colored Thunder Armor, only to be met with a massive recoil! And yet, the Thunder Armor was completely undamaged!
Even so, the immense force sent Thunder Demon’s body crashing into the ground like a falling meteor!
In an instant, a massive crater over twenty meters in diameter appeared in the ground!
Thunder Demon let out two violent coughs and wiped the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with contempt. ’This Thunder Armor is a Secret Technique I chanced upon in a Secret Realm in the Outer Realm during my training years ago. The technique is divided into seven colors, and with each rise in my cultivation level, the armor gains another colored layer! I’ve already cultivated it to the third color. According to the description, not even someone a whole Small Realm above me could easily shatter it, let alone this guy who’s only a First-Ring Martial Sect!’
"Heh heh... your strength is truly beyond my imagination. But trying to break my Thunder Armor with that kind of power is nothing but a fool’s dream!"
Mu Chen, who had been deep in thought, gave a small smile upon hearing Thunder Demon’s words. "Heh... is that so?"
His tone was laced with a playful coldness. ’The more he provokes me, the more determined I am to crush him!’
CRACK...
The Red Lotus Ice Technique construct fractured again, and the third Ice Crystal Petal vanished. A chilling aura coiled around the Profound Dragon Arm, taking the shape of a giant dragon. At the dragon’s mouth, a vortex of Ice Crystals materialized from thin air. Just like with Blast Fist, Mu Chen was using the same method to channel his Level Ice Attribute!
"Profound Dragon Break!"
With a great roar, he shot downward at lightning speed—so fast that a sharp wall of wind formed around his fist!
BOOM!
With a single punch, the crater instantly expanded to fifty meters! But the Thunder Armor remained unshaken. Thunder Demon, however, spat out another mouthful of blood as his body was driven even deeper into the earth. He would have no hope of escape unless Mu Chen gave him an opening!
But that was impossible.
CRACK... CRACK...
Two more crisp cracks rang out, followed by a roar that shook the heavens. The ground collapsed completely, caving in over an area of at least six hundred meters to form a massive, deep crater!
Crrrack...
An almost inaudibly faint cracking sound reached the ears of both Mu Chen and Thunder Demon. The corner of Mu Chen’s mouth curled into a smirk as the last Ice Crystal Petal behind him silently disintegrated...
BANG!!
CRACK... CRACKLE, CRACK...!!
A series of hair-raising cracks, like a string of firecrackers going off, echoed as bones shattered.
The Thunder Armor had been shattered!
"This... How can this be..."
The short, fat man—Thunder Demon’s younger brother—stood nearby, his face deathly pale as he clutched his elbow. His mouth hung open, his pupils were unfocused, and his whole body trembled as he stared into the massive crater at Thunder Demon, whose chest had been completely caved in.
"S-Second Brother... This... this isn’t real..."
The short, fat man muttered the words over and over, his expression vacant. But just as he was about to move, a slender figure slowly floated up from the massive crater. In his hands were two dazzling objects...
A Token, and a Storage Ring...
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, the victor claims all rights from the vanquished...
