Sun Yu's cold-white brocade boots stepped onto the Black Stone Square.
The golden rain of light from the shattered array was still drifting down through the air.
Sun Yu stood amid the rain of light.
He released none of his true essence pressure. The Prison Suppressing Gravity, powerful enough to crush the rock strata of the abyss, was perfectly and firmly locked beneath his flesh.
He merely stood there with utter casualness, yet he seemed like a ten-thousand-zhang iron mountain that could never be crossed, crashing ruthlessly into the hearts of every survivor on the square.
The Blood Saber Gate Master, Li Xuekuang, knelt on the ground.
To maintain the array just now, he had been directly shaken by the terrifying rebound from Sun Yu's punch, fracturing the bones in both arms.
At this moment, both arms hung limply at his sides.
Li Xuekuang raised his head and stared fixedly at Sun Yu as he drew closer and closer.
Fear.
An extreme fear that seeped out from the depths of his marrow completely devoured the reason of this peak Fetal Transformation Realm sect master.
He could tear apart and swallow alive even an ancient demonic dragon in the mid-stage Divine Sea Realm, and shatter even an ancient Seal Mountain Great Array with one punch.
This was not a human at all.
This was an ancient primordial great demon wearing human skin!
Li Xuekuang turned his head and looked at Tie Zhan, the Iron Clothes Fortress Master, beside him.
The fine-steel heavy armor Tie Zhan took pride in had cracked in countless places under the backlash of the array.
He vomited mouthful after mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of his organs. His eyes were unfocused, and his body trembled violently beyond his control.
Where could they flee?
That monster was so fast he could even smash through the Sound Barrier. Turning their backs on such a monster would only leave them with a death uglier than that of swine or dogs.
Beg for mercy?
The three idiots from the Wang Household whose heads had been crushed beneath one kick had not even gone cold yet.
That monster did not listen to any nonsense.
Li Xuekuang's teeth grated loudly.
He suddenly turned around, and his gaze collided viciously with Tie Zhan's in midair.
The two had fought for half their lives.
With that single look, both understood the madness in the other's eyes—the madness of men driven into a dead end.
There was no retreat left.
They could only risk their lives!
"Tie Zhan! Let's fight!"
Li Xuekuang let out a shrill howl like a beast at death's door.
He did not pick up the supreme-grade blood saber lying on the ground.
He simply opened his mouth and bit down hard, shattering the tip of his own tongue!
"Pfft!"
A great mouthful of intensely concentrated Vital Essence Blood sprayed forth.
Li Xuekuang completely ignored his already broken arms. He forcibly drove all the remaining true essence in his dantian and poured it without reservation backward into his heart!
Burning his vital essence blood!
Burning his lifespan!
Li Xuekuang's originally burly body shriveled in an instant like a deflated ball. His flesh visibly dried up at a speed the naked eye could follow, and his hair turned deathly white in an instant.
Yet the blood-and-qi fluctuation erupting from him violently broke through the limit of Great Perfection in the Fetal Transformation Realm, with one foot stepping into the Divine Sea Realm!
"Blood Sea Asura! Sacrifice the saber!"
Li Xuekuang roared.
The skin on his broken arms exploded at once. Countless scarlet veins drilled out from beneath his flesh like tentacles and wrapped tightly around the hilt of the supreme-grade blood saber on the ground.
The blood saber gave an intensely excited hum.
Its blade instantly expanded to three zhang in length. It turned crimson from hilt to tip and radiated a thick blood aura that made one nauseous.
On the other side.
Tie Zhan likewise did not hesitate in the slightest.
With a furious roar, he abruptly slapped both hands against his temples.
"Iron Clothes Lock Soul! Burn!"
The blood and qi within Tie Zhan's body boiled to the extreme in an instant.
The skin covering his entire body turned a lifeless black. His muscle fibers were like steel cables twisted taut, locking his bones firmly in place.
He completely abandoned the protection of his internal organs and forcibly poured all his true essence into the fine-steel head he was so proud of!
Tie Zhan's head instantly lit up with an exceedingly dazzling dark-gold radiance.
That was the Meteorite Iron Golden Skull, cultivated only by the successive Fortress Masters of Iron Clothes Fortress!
Indestructible, with nothing unable to be destroyed!
"Die!!!"
Li Xuekuang and Tie Zhan erupted simultaneously.
The two abandoned all defense.
One on the left and one on the right, they were like two meteors burning to the utmost limit, charging ruthlessly toward Sun Yu with the resolve to perish together.
Li Xuekuang manipulated the three-zhang blood saber with his veins, drawing a scarlet streak across the air that seemed to tear space apart, aiming straight for the back of Sun Yu's neck!
Tie Zhan shattered the Black Stone Floor beneath his feet. His entire body was like a heavy artillery shell, that dark-gold Meteorite Iron skull radiating terrifying momentum enough to bring down a mountain as it rammed straight into Sun Yu's chest!
Two supreme experts who had dominated Great Wind Snow State for decades.
At this moment, they unleashed the most tragic strike of their lives.
The saber wind pierced to the bone.
The headbutt was like a mountain.
Sun Yu stood where he was.
His cold-white brocade robe did not flutter in the slightest amid the gale raised by the two men.
His pitch-black eyes, bearing the Dark Red Demonic Ring, did not ripple even once.
Dodge?
Retreat?
Those two words had never existed in Sun Yu's dictionary.
He did not even assume a blocking stance.
With utter casualness, he simply continued forward and took another step.
"Clang!!!"
An ear-piercing metallic explosion, powerful enough to shatter an ordinary person's eardrums outright, erupted across the Black Stone Square.
Li Xuekuang's supreme-grade blood saber, condensed from all his vital essence blood and lifespan, sharp enough to cleave even space itself—
landed solidly against the side of Sun Yu's neck.
Sparks shot wildly outward like a waterfall.
A cruel, crazed delight had just appeared on Li Xuekuang's shriveled face.
The next instant.
That delight froze stiff on his face.
He watched with his own eyes.
The blade of his supreme-grade blood saber touched the skin on the side of Sun Yu's neck.
It did not cut through flesh.
It did not sever a blood vessel.
On Sun Yu's cold-white skin, smooth as white jade, it did not even leave the faintest white mark.
Instead.
A terrifying rebound, utterly unreasonable, surged backward along the blade like a tsunami!
"Crack!"
The body of the supreme-grade blood saber suddenly bent outward into an exaggerated arc.
Immediately afterward.
"Bang!!!"
The entire three-zhang blood saber shattered inch by inch, beginning from the point where it had struck Sun Yu's neck!
The hard blade exploded into hundreds and thousands of fine iron particles, shooting wildly in every direction.
"My saber..."
Li Xuekuang's eyes widened, and an incredulous murmur was squeezed from his throat.
Sun Yu did not turn around.
He stood with his back to Li Xuekuang.
His right arm swept backward with utter casualness.
His elbow bent slightly, fist pointed behind him.
Within his dantian, the pale-golden Divine Sea suddenly churned.
Dark-red Asura Gang Qi instantly wrapped around his right fist.
Extreme, scorching destructive heat compressed to the utmost on his knuckles.
A brutally simple backhand punch blasted out without warning.
"Bang!"
Sun Yu's right fist pierced straight through Li Xuekuang's chest with unstoppable force.
No blood sprayed.
No chunks of flesh flew.
The terrifying heat of the Extreme Yang Gang Qi instantly burned Li Xuekuang's heart and organs, along with the blood around the wound, into nothingness the moment the fist passed through his body!
A massive hole appeared in Li Xuekuang's chest, transparent from front to back, its edges completely charred.
He stared wide-eyed as his life force died out entirely.
His shriveled corpse swayed twice before falling stiffly backward.
It struck the ground with a muffled thud.
The Blood Saber Gate Master was dead.
At the exact instant Sun Yu's fist punched through Li Xuekuang, ahead of him—
Tie Zhan's Meteorite Iron Golden Skull, shooting forward like a meteor, had already reached Sun Yu's chest.
It was less than half a foot away.
The violent pressure of the wind plastered Sun Yu's brocade robe tightly against his flesh.
"Die for me!!!"
Tie Zhan let out a hysterical roar.
Sun Yu's right arm, which had just swept backward, had yet to return.
Facing Tie Zhan's desperate collision, his eyes were as cold as ice.
Sun Yu slowly raised his left hand.
His five fingers spread open.
His palm extended with perfect steadiness toward that dark-gold head crashing through the air.
"Smack."
A sound of flesh striking flesh rang out, like a sandbag being slapped.
Sun Yu's left hand caught Tie Zhan's face with absolute precision.
Five slender, pale fingers clamped directly onto Tie Zhan's supposedly indestructible Meteorite Iron Golden Skull.
Tie Zhan's violent forward momentum—
came to an abrupt halt under that single-handed grab from Sun Yu!
From extreme motion to utter stillness.
There was no buffer at all.
Tie Zhan's body stopped sharply in midair. The powerful inertia nearly tore his own cervical spine apart.
His entire body hung suspended, his head held deathly tight in Sun Yu's palm.
Through the gaps between Sun Yu's fingers, Tie Zhan stared fixedly at the man before him.
Shock.
Despair.
The strongest strike he had obtained by burning his life had actually been caught single-handedly by the other man with effortless ease?!
"Iron Clothes Fortress?"
Sun Yu looked at the face in his hand, twisted from extreme congestion.
A vein on the back of his cold-white hand pulsed ever so slightly.
"Too soft."
Sun Yu's voice was flat.
The five fingers of his left hand suddenly clenched inward!
"Crack, crack, crack, crack!"
The metallic twisting and bone-shattering sounds that made the scalp crawl erupted across the Black Stone Square simultaneously.
The fine-steel skull Tie Zhan had been so proud of, which he had trained for decades—
was like a fragile walnut before the Extreme Dao Monster Force of Sun Yu's Asura Undying Body.
The hard skull caved inward.
Tie Zhan didn't even have time to scream.
"Bang!!!"
Sun Yu's five fingers closed completely.
Tie Zhan's head, along with the layer of True Qi as hard as fine steel covering it, was crushed in Sun Yu's one hand into a lump of scrap metal mixed with brain matter and bone fragments!
A sticky, red-and-white mass squeezed out between Sun Yu's fingers.
The Asura Gang Qi vaporized it in an instant.
Sun Yu lowered his left hand.
"Thud."
Tie Zhan's headless body crashed heavily onto the Black Stone Floor.
The heavy fine-steel armor on his body clanged dully.
The lord of Iron Clothes Fortress was dead.
Two moves.
Two seconds.
Two peerless experts from Great Wind Snow State had used every trump card and burned through their lives.
Before Sun Yu, they were like moths flying straight into an iron plate, dead in an instant.
Sun Yu stood between the two corpses.
He didn't look at the mangled flesh on the ground.
Nor did he wipe away blood that wasn't even on his hands.
He slowly turned his head.
His pitch-black eyes, ringed with the suffocating Dark Red Demonic Ring,
fixed directly on the man behind the bronze table ahead—
the Prefecture Lord, rigid all over and stricken with grief.
Xiao Tiannan.
