There was no sheen whatsoever on the ruler; it did not even look like a magic artifact. But Jiang Shan was already furious beyond measure and paid no attention to such details. Besides, even if it was a magic artifact, he did not believe it could be all that powerful. He refused to believe Lin Chuan could produce any truly formidable artifact.
Shi Jin, who had been watching from afar, twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his face away. Using one's flesh to contend with an immortal artifact—the outcome hardly needed imagining. "So obscene, so violent. I'd better not watch!"
Xiao Heng tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.
Jiang Shan's attack was terrifying. Lin Chuan's counterattack had made him decide to kill this youth at any cost; he no longer even cared about seizing his body-tempering technique. Right now, he only wanted to kill.
Lin Chuan's response was simple as well: he frantically poured immortal chakra into the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, using the ruler's power to withstand the formidable attack of a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.
Bang!
The black Heaven-Measuring Ruler lightly struck Jiang Shan's right hand, which was condensed with a massive amount of spiritual energy. In that instant, black radiance erupted, eclipsing the golden light Jiang Shan had released from his entire body. The Heaven-Measuring Ruler also expanded in an instant, sweeping directly across half of Jiang Shan's body.
A brief cracking sound rang out. Without even looking, Shi Jin knew it was the sound of bones breaking.
"Ah..." A scream immediately followed, and blood sprayed through the air. Jiang Shan's right side instantly became a mangled mess of flesh and blood. The moment his right hand touched the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, it exploded under the blow, leaving not even a trace behind.
Terrifying
