Rakshasa Palm

Bai Cangshu's heart skipped a beat. A terrifying sense of crisis descended in an instant, and his pupils contracted from the intense stimulus surging up from his nerve endings.

This strike would kill him!

An overwhelming sense of death flooded Bai Cangshu's nerves in an instant.

The Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm was likewise a martial arts technique from the Kengan World. It used violent, twisted force to erupt in an instant, directly tearing apart the struck person's muscles and even internal organs.

It was an utterly terrifying Killing Move.

As Bai Cangshu's pupils contracted violently, his heart suddenly began pounding at dozens of times its normal rate. That abrupt, frenzied heartbeat caused his entire body to flush red in an instant.

Countless fine capillaries burst and bled under the blood pumped through them by his excessively powerful heart.

At the same time, the enormous amount of oxygen made Bai Cangshu's mind seem to enter slow motion.

Delicate sensations from every sense came flooding in. Normally, the human body could not process such a massive amount of information and would simply ignore those sensations, but at this moment, Bai Cangshu took every perception fully into his mind.

Evans's palm, twisted to the extreme, struck with terrifying force, then rapidly twisted in the opposite direction, warping and accelerating its own power.

This was the so-called Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm.

The muscles all over Bai Cangshu's body swelled, making him several centimeters taller in an instant. But he had charged in with the explosive force of the Blazing Fire Footwork, and his momentum could not be changed. The Rakshasa Palm landed almost instantly on his chest.

At that instant, Bai Cangshu could clearly see Evans's pupils dilating and the unconscious curve rising at the corners of his mouth.

Li Chenchen had suddenly unleashed his secret technique, the Rakshasa Palm. Sure enough, Bai Cangshu had been completely unprepared and had charged straight into it.

His heart began racing uncontrollably. The instant his palm struck Bai Cangshu's chest, Li Chenchen even wondered whether he should tell the Throne of Illusion and Reality about that Tarot Card.

Bang!

The terrifying palm strike landed, its force pouring out in an instant.

Boom!

Bai Cangshu spiraled through the air, smashing through the basement door with a crash and getting sent flying straight into the bar's hallway.

The sound of the door exploding was terrifying. Even the music in the bar fell silent in an instant.

"Ah!"

"What happened? Did the gas explode?!"

Quite a few people saw Bai Cangshu crash into the wall and fall to the ground.

Bai Cangshu looked utterly miserable now. The clothes on his upper body had been shredded by the twisted force, while the muscles on his left chest and shoulder had visibly warped completely.

The spiral-like distortion made it easy to imagine that those muscles had been completely strained or even torn apart.

Furthermore, the impact of being sent flying more than ten meters and smashing into the wall had left blood streaming from Bai Cangshu's mouth and nose.

As if he felt nothing, he climbed up from the ground and walked step by step back to the basement entrance.

A Chao had been howling in agony because his Achilles tendon had been cut, but when he suddenly saw Bai Cangshu walking over covered in blood, he instinctively stopped crying out.

"B-Brother Bai, I... Ah!"

His body suddenly felt light. Bai Cangshu grabbed him by the collar with one hand, then flung him out of the basement with a backhanded throw.

This was the first time since reaching adulthood that A Chao had felt so light.

"Tell the people outside that there was a gas explosion. Make everyone get the hell away."

A Chao had followed Xiao Ning and dealt with Bai Cangshu a few times before, but he had never seen Bai Cangshu in this state. Brother Bai's voice alone was so low that it was terrifying.

That expression truly did not look human at all...

A Chao stood frozen in place. Then, suddenly, he saw Bai Cangshu turn back to look at him from inside the basement. Only then did he see that Bai Cangshu's eyes were completely blank.

A chill rose abruptly from the soles of his feet. Ignoring the pain in his ankle, A Chao crawled outward through the hallway while shouting.

"There was a gas explosion! Everyone get out first! Gas explosion!"

Cries of alarm rang out as the crowd rushed outside in a panic. Not a single person had the time to look at what was happening in the basement.

The delight on Li Chenchen's face gradually faded. He frowned as he looked at Bai Cangshu's current state.

"What is this... some kind of Transformation Jutsu?"

There were countless abilities in the Infinite Dimensional Space. Li Chenchen prided himself on knowing anime, novels, and movies quite well, yet he still could not determine what ability Bai Cangshu had activated.

He saw the obvious twisting of Bai Cangshu's chest muscles and understood that his Rakshasa Palm had indeed struck the other man solidly.

A newcomer who had just entered the Reincarnation Space, after taking his Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm—shouldn't even his heart have been twisted apart in an instant...?

Yet he could still stand up. No, it was not just that he could stand—the other man even looked like he still wanted to fight...

What kind of joke was this?!

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai... let us leave first... please!"

Xiao Ning endured the pain as he pulled the Tarot Card from the back of his hand. Seeing Bai Cangshu reveal this monster's true form again, scene after scene from the past surged into his mind.

He did not dare stay here any longer.

But neither Bai Cangshu nor Li Chenchen reacted to his words.

Neither of them paid any attention at all to Xiao Ning, Sister Hong, or the two people unconscious on the floor.

"Second round... Evans."

Bai Cangshu suddenly raised his left leg high. The movement was so large that it looked nothing like the opening stance of the Niko Style: Fire Heaven Form - Blazing Fire.

The Fire Heaven Form of the Niko Style mostly consisted of various footwork techniques, emphasizing the use of the body's ultimate explosive power to allow a Martial Artist to move explosively.

Even so, every movement was still kept subtle to prevent the enemy from seeing through it in advance.

No matter how powerful a technique was, once it was seen through beforehand, it became meaningless.

Just like the Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm Li Chenchen had used earlier. Its power was terrifying, but to increase its destructive force, it had to excessively twist the user's arm and muscles, making the signs of the move extremely obvious.

In actual combat, it could almost only be used by entering the enemy's blind spot with ultra-fast footwork and unleashing it suddenly.

Bai Cangshu had been struck earlier because his unmastered Blazing Fire Rush had been seen through by Li Chenchen, allowing him to prepare and land a single decisive blow.

Looking at Bai Cangshu's raised left leg, Li Chenchen could not understand his intention for a moment. But he could see that the newcomer Reincarnator named Bai Cangshu was smiling...

Boom!

Bai Cangshu stomped down fiercely. The floor shook violently, then collapsed with a thunderous crash a moment later.

Amid Xiao Ning and Sister Hong's piercing screams, Li Chenchen's heart clenched.

It was still the Niko Style: Fire Heaven Form - Blazing Fire!

Li Chenchen instinctively turned around, but a fierce gust of wind was already howling behind him.

The air in the basement was stirred up in an instant, as though a miniature hurricane had risen indoors.

As Li Chenchen's pupils trembled, all he saw was a completely twisted right arm spinning as it came smashing toward him.

He instinctively wanted to tense his muscles and activate the fierce Niko Style: Adamantine Form: Indestructible for defense, but that palm had already struck in an instant.

Pfft!

Bai Cangshu's palm struck Li Chenchen between the chest and abdomen as he half-turned. A grim smile hung on Bai Cangshu's face, with scarlet blood still staining his lips and teeth.

Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm!
