Zhou Shang's pressure doubled, his arms going numb from the impact.
Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, a thought of retreat burgeoning in his heart.
This kid is strange!
I can't defeat him!
With a shift in his mind, he took Chen Duan's punch, using the force to retreat.
He was just about to disappear back into the dense True Qi fog.
He would observe and maneuver from there, regrouping his forces.
However.
Chen Duan had already predicted his move. The moment he retreated, a large hand shot out with incredible speed, grabbing his wrist.
An immense force yanked him back.
"Since you've come to my doorstep, there's no way I'm letting you escape!"
Before the words even finished.
Chira!
Two arms erupted from Chen Duan's armpits, fingers pressed together, piercing the True Qi and plunging into Zhou Shang's abdomen.
Zhou Shang was startled, ignoring the pain and struggling desperately to break free.
But then.
Pili-pala!
Bones and flesh cracked. Chen Duan's torso exploded.
Instantly, several more arms grew out!
Zhou Shang's pupils contracted, his heart filled with dread.
Although his Water Element Art was already bizarre and strange, Chen Duan's multi-armed monstrous form was probably no less so.
The next moment.
These newly grown fists rained down like a storm from all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chen Duan's arms were buried in flesh, locking Zhou Shang down tightly, while his other limbs transformed into streaks of fist shadows, relentlessly pummeling him!
The fist shadows were dense, leaving no room for escape.
From the moment Zhou Shang was forcibly pulled back by Chen Duan, the tables had turned!
Zhou Shang was completely on the defensive!
All he could do now was circulate his Water Born Flowing Cloud, constantly trying to mitigate the terrifying force.
His body contorted and caved in under the barrage of heavy blows.
His entire face was beaten into a pulp, his body like waterlogged pork, battered, loose, and tattered, a truly horrific sight.
The more Chen Duan fought, the more exhilarated he became.
He felt this punching bag was exceptionally resilient, impossible to break no matter how hard he hit, a rare find indeed!
This was a completely one-sided beating, offering no chance for resistance.
Zhou Shang found even breathing difficult, his internal organs churning.
I can't let this continue.
He seized an opening during a shift in the fist attacks, channeling his last bit of internal energy. His chest heaved violently as he opened his mouth wide.
Hualala!
All the dense True Qi, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, was instantly drawn into his abdomen.
His entire body rapidly expanded, forcefully pushing Chen Duan's arms out of his stomach.
His body was now several times larger than its original form, looking as if it would explode.
The absorbed True Qi was compressed and transformed within him!
Water Element Art's killing move—
Whale Swallows the Four Seas!
Zhou Shang's massive mouth stretched to its limit.
With a tremendous roar.
The maximally compressed True Qi transformed into a condensed pillar of pale energy, which Zhou Shang violently spewed out, blasting towards Chen Duan.
Chen Duan crossed his arms in front of him and was hit by the attack.
He was immediately sent flying backward, crashing through several walls before being buried under a pile of bricks and stones.
After the attack, Zhou Shang's bloated body rapidly deflated and shrank, returning to the appearance of a slightly plump middle-aged man.
Although he still had some strength left, he didn't dare to check if Chen Duan was dead or alive. He immediately turned and fled for his life out of the house.
If he wasn't dead from that blow, then he was someone he couldn't handle.
He moved with great speed, as if he were greased.
However, just as he was about to escape the courtyard.
A figure darted out from the side and grabbed him tightly.
It was Ji Canghai, who had been lying in wait!
He unleashed Water Has No Constant Form, entangling Zhou Shang in a bizarre posture.
Zhou Shang was startled at first, but upon seeing who it was, he instantly flew into a rage:
"Rebellious disciple! Get off your master!"
He swung his fist at Ji Canghai.
Ji Canghai, however, neither dodged nor evaded, clinging on tightly and shouting hoarsely:
"Junior Brother Chen!"
As his cry faded.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
The footsteps were like an elephant's tread.
The broken bricks on the ground were ground into powder.

Chen Duan's figure charged out of the smoke and dust.
His arm had already been withdrawn, all his strength concentrated in his right fist.
True Qi was highly compressed and condensed at the tip of his fist, forming a rapidly spinning drill.
Black Tiger Heart Extraction!
Pfft!
Flesh and blood were forcibly torn apart.
Chen Duan's right fist simultaneously pierced through both Zhou Shang and Ji Canghai's bodies.
The fist entered from Ji Canghai's back and exited from Zhou Shang's back, his five fingers gripping both hearts.
Zhou Shang's body stiffened, and blood gushed from his mouth.
In this manner, it was already a desperate situation.
He could never have imagined that he would ultimately fail at the hands of this "rebellious disciple."
He glanced with his peripheral vision at Ji Canghai's face, filled with glee.
Rebellious disciple, what a good rebellious disciple~
You're willing to drag your master to death with you, even at the cost of your own life?
Zhou Shang's eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart hardened.
Although he wasn't mature yet, there was no longer time. He was dying, so he could only make a final gamble.
He opened his mouth, his fangs elongating, and bit down on Ji Canghai's neck.
Ji Canghai's eyes widened as he realized what was happening.
"This is bad! He's going to Break Apex..."
He wanted to warn him, but before he could finish speaking.
In an instant.
His Blood Essence was completely drained by Zhou Shang, turning into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye.
This sudden turn of events startled Chen Duan.
He immediately pulled his arm out.
Zhou Shang's body, after absorbing all of Ji Canghai's Blood Essence, began to swell wildly again.
He grew larger and larger.
His heart had been gouged out, and he could still forcibly "Break Apex"?
Seeing that the situation was dire, Chen Duan naturally couldn't let the opponent have his way.
He immediately unleashed his internal energy to its fullest, his True Qi fists continuously striking the "meatball."
At this moment, Zhou Shang had no moves left, merely relying on instinct to regenerate flesh and blood.
Wherever his fist struck, flesh and blood flew.
The sight of this frenzied proliferation reminded Chen Duan of the "Gan Chi Tiger," giving him a sense of the "Strange Creature."
But Chen Duan's fists didn't stop.
He didn't know how many punches he had thrown.
The "flesh ball" convulsed and expanded to its limit.
Then.
It exploded.
Suddenly, a rain of flesh and blood fell.
Dyeing the ground red.
Afterward, everything returned to peace.
Chen Duan wiped his face.
Not far in front of him, a meat mass about half the size of a person remained.
Its surface was covered in blood vessels and nerves, like a heart, it pulsed continuously, but it no longer showed any signs of proliferation.
Chen Duan didn't deal with the thing first, but slowly turned and walked towards the corpse in the corner.
The body had become a dried husk, but its eyes were wide open.
Chen Duan squatted down and reached out to close his eyes.
Only then did Chen Duan slowly walk towards the strange meat mass.
He squatted down and examined it carefully.
The meat mass was dark red in color, with twisted textures. Apart from the regular pulsing like a heart, it showed no other movement.
After observing for a while, Chen Duan detected traces of internal energy on it.
He had to admit, this creepy thing had given Chen Duan a sense of the "Strange Creature" from the very beginning.
He wondered what exactly it was?
A trace of doubt arose in Chen Duan's heart.
But this was not the place to investigate further.
Never mind, he would study it slowly after taking it back.
After everything settled down.
Not long after.
Qi Baorui arrived in a hurry with a few people.
When Qi Baorui stepped into the place and saw the mess all over the ground, he couldn't help but gasp, as if he were in hell.
However, when he was collecting Ji Canghai's body, his expression became exceptionally complex.
Unlike Chen Duan, he knew Ji Canghai's true situation.
This person, for the sake of the sect's righteousness and to kill "Zhou Shang," had first turned himself into another "Zhou Shang."
The contradiction and struggle deep within his soul, the pain of hovering on the brink of despair, Qi Baorui could feel a fraction of it.
But he could never truly empathize.
Finally, Qi Baorui's gaze fell on Chen Duan.
"Chen Duan, we really have you to thank for this."
