Black · Purple

At this moment, Wang Chuan seemed to have transformed into a pile driver.

He bombarded the head of the Titan Golden Python with a speed of several punches per second, causing the very ground to tremble.

However, it must be said that the Titan Golden Python was worthy of being a top-tier Sub-Dragon, inheriting both the bloodline of a god and the Golden Dragon bloodline that symbolized power.

Under this continuous barrage of strikes capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, it actually managed to endure.

And after being beaten for several seconds.

The dazed Titan Golden Python finally regained its senses, twisting its serpentine body to forcibly pull away from under Wang Chuan's fists.

Although the Titan Golden Python had withstood Wang Chuan's continuous beating.

It was not unscathed; at the very least, its mouth had been lacerated by its own fangs, and the fishy, sweet scent of blood permeated its oral cavity, which completely ignited its ferocity!

Driven by its predatory instincts, the Titan Golden Python, having just escaped danger, lunged at Wang Chuan once again.

But this time, it did not charge recklessly as it had before.

Instead, it avoided Wang Chuan's fist with an arc so ingenious it defied logic, then rapidly twisted its form and ferociously coiled itself around Wang Chuan's body!

A powerful force was transmitted through this constriction onto Wang Chuan, causing him to gasp in cold air.

Because this was precisely one of the two signature kill moves of the Titan Golden Python: Deadly Constriction.

Although this move shared the same "constriction" classification as the future Blue Silver Constriction of Tang San, the power of the two could not be mentioned in the same breath.

The books even recorded it explicitly.

For a thousand-year-level Titan Golden Python, even the lowest-tier one-thousand-year specimen, anyone below the level of a Spirit Emperor who was not a strength-type Spirit Master.

Would surely die!

Wang Lie was clearly aware of this record as well, and he felt a subconscious panic.

He had not expected the Titan Golden Python's body to be so flexible, allowing it to catch Wang Chuan—who had just been holding the upper hand—off guard with this move.

This was not within his calculations!

Moreover, the combat power he had spoken of was based on the attacks of mages like himself!

After all, almost every dragon-type spirit possessed elemental abilities.

And the reason Wang Lie had agreed to Wang Chuan's request for a spar was, in fact, to let Wang Chuan learn from his mistakes.

Now that the goal had been achieved, Wang Lie instinctively wanted to intervene to save Wang Chuan!

At the same time, Wang Lie prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Wang Chuan's physique was sturdy enough not to be severely injured in an instant.

But Wang Lie did not know that the moment he was caught, Wang Chuan had already activated—

Six Styles: Iron Body!

Although in One Piece, Iron Body had always been ridiculed as a move that brings harm to its users.

That was mainly because those users had employed the wrong methods.

Because they lacked intelligence, they relied solely on their physical fitness to hard-tank the attacks of powerhouses, possessing not a shred of self-awareness.

The true usage of this technique was actually as a final emergency measure when an attack could not be dodged, or to harden parts of the body during combat to assist in fighting; it could be considered a "youth version" of Armament Haki.

Time passed in a flash, and the Titan Golden Python completely covered Wang Chuan with its ten-meter-long serpentine body.

Then, after a hiss, the muscles all over its body began to exert force, starting to reveal the true terror of Deadly Constriction.

The terrifying power seemed as if it were going to crush Wang Chuan to death with muscle alone.

At this moment, Wang Lie flashed over, intending to forcibly decapitate the Titan Golden Python and drag it off Wang Chuan.

(PS: Snakes have powerful vitality; they do not die immediately even if their heads are severed.)

But Wang Chuan's voice suddenly rang out, sounding exceptionally calm.

"Don't worry, Grandfather, I'm fine."

Wang Lie's movements paused, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.

According to his original assessment, Wang Chuan should not have been able to endure it; after all, his previous evaluation of Wang Chuan had only been regarding his physical capacity to withstand spirit rings.

But Wang Chuan had relied on the physical enhancement effect of Iron Body to endure it head-on.

At this time, Wang Chuan's voice came again.

"Grandfather, please step back a bit. I'm about to counterattack; don't let yourself get splattered with blood."

Sensing the confidence in Wang Chuan's words, Wang Lie's worries were completely set aside, and he immediately retreated repeatedly.

It was at this moment that Wang Chuan, wrapped in the darkness, opened his eyes, and jet-black Armament Haki began to spread from his arms to his entire body.

This was precisely the sign that his Armament Haki was about to advance to a higher stage.

Full-Body Armament Hardening!

With Iron Body now stacked with full-body Armament Haki, Wang Chuan's defense reached a new level, and the previously stifling sense of suffocation vanished completely.

However, Wang Chuan could also clearly feel the Haki within his body being consumed at a rapid pace; if he could not break the current stalemate quickly, he would truly be in danger of dying.

Slowly releasing Iron Body and utilizing the hardening properties of Armament Haki armor for defense, Wang Chuan regained freedom of movement and immediately began to exert force.

Suddenly, the Titan Golden Python let out a shrill hiss.

This was because the nature of force is reciprocal.

When its prideful muscular constriction failed to crush Wang Chuan's strength, the backlash was bound to follow.

But Wang Chuan had no interest in playing tug-of-war with it.

The amount of Haki he possessed did not allow for it.

Therefore, Wang Chuan needed to end the battle quickly.

Having gained a small gap to move, Wang Chuan clenched his fists and slowly extended a single index finger from each.

Six Styles · Finger Pistol · Sea Urchin!

In an instant, Wang Chuan's fingers struck out rapidly, immediately piercing through the Titan Golden Python's iron-hard scale armor.

Through their previous exchange, Wang Chuan knew the Titan Golden Python had extremely high defense, so he employed this superhuman technique designed to break through surfaces with a single point.

Seeing the result was exactly as he had anticipated, he had successfully breached the Titan Golden Python's defense.

Furthermore, because its flesh had been punctured, that part of the Titan Golden Python's body began to spasm uncontrollably, and the force it could use to restrain Wang Chuan grew weaker and weaker.

Consequently, Wang Chuan struck out dozens of times in succession, as if he had truly transformed into a sea urchin, stabbing the Titan Golden Python until it was covered in wounds from the inside out.

The intense pain and loss of bodily control made the Titan Golden Python unable to hold back any longer, and it released Wang Chuan.

Its serpentine body, thrashing wildly from the agony, sprayed its blood frantically all over the surroundings.

This perfectly fulfilled the prediction Wang Chuan had made earlier about getting covered in blood.

Seeing this, a brief look of regret appeared in Wang Chuan's eyes.

He had wanted to let Golden Scale devour the Titan Golden Python after absorbing its spirit ring to fully utilize the resources, but it seemed like a waste now.

At the same time, Wang Chuan briefly reflected on how careless he had been just moments ago.

Facing a snake-like enemy for the first time, especially when he knew the opponent's moves, he should have formulated a more comprehensive battle plan.

Instead of being forced into a desperate situation like that, where he had to recklessly use a wasteful skill like full-body armament.

If not for the astonishing effect of Iron Body, he would have died from that last squeeze.

Immediately, Wang Chuan glared, locking his gaze onto the Titan Golden Python's heart, located at its seven-inch mark.

He used Shave to vanish from his spot instantly, and when Wang Chuan reappeared, he had already arrived at his target.

The Finger Pistol, wrapped in pitch-black Armament Haki, began to strike out fiercely in succession.

Finger Pistol · Lotus!

Although a snake's heart has a certain degree of mobility, under such high-intensity piercing, even the powerful heart of the Titan Golden Python was completely punctured.

During this process.

Wang Chuan felt the Titan Golden Python's spine and his eyes lit up; he increased his force for the final strike, piercing straight through the spine.

This blow had truly struck the Titan Golden Python's fatal weak point.

With a final hiss, its lower body completely lost the ability to move, and the giant snake could only crawl on the ground, making its final struggles.

As the Finger Pistol pierced through its brain, a purple halo began to slowly condense and rise.
