Crushing Them All

Chapter 29

"Earth-tier! At least Earth-tier, perhaps even..."

Xu Yi's face turned pale with shock as he cried out.

When Jia Lie Bi, Ao Ba Pa, and the others truly felt the power of that palm strike, their hearts churned like stormy seas. How was this the strength of a six-star Da Dou Shi? It was already infinitely close to that of a Dou Ling expert.

It was not just them. The elite Dou Shi who had followed them here were equally dumbfounded. When had a tiny place like Wutan City ever seen such a heaven-defying Dou Technique?

"Could it be Heaven-tier?"

Yun Tianbing's calm expression finally changed! Facing the dragon-shaped phantom formed from solid green Dou Qi, he condensed his Dou Qi into armor around his body, layer upon heavy layer, like a warrior clad in holy armor!

"Boom!"

A deafening tremor rang out, like thunder shaking heaven and earth.

With that single blow, the entire ground shuddered violently, no less than in a magnitude-six earthquake. Many people swayed wildly and could barely keep their footing. Yun Tianbing, who had borne the strike head-on, trembled sharply and staggered backward as the Dou Qi armor around him shattered layer by layer.

"Kill him, quickly!" Yun Tianbing no longer cared about appearances as he roared madly.

What Earth-tier Dou Technique was this? The attack unleashed by a six-star Da Dou Shi had surpassed even a Dou Ling expert. This was absolutely a Heaven-tier Dou Technique, perhaps even high-grade Heaven-tier! Faced with such power, Yun Tianbing was afraid.

Because that one strike had already injured him!

The moment he roared, the two Dou Ling guards at his left and right attacked at once. They spread their arms like wings and leaped into the air, gripping their sabers with both hands and raising the long blades overhead before slashing down at Chen Qiye on the strength of their glide.

Two flashes of cold light appeared, illuminating the darkness!

"Teacher, be careful!" Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian shouted at the same time.

Chen Qiye had already moved. He stomped down, and the ground beneath his feet instantly caved in with a thunderous crash.

Flying Dragon in Heaven!

Chen Qiye shot into the sky like a rocket, then struck out with both palms toward the enemies on either side!

"Retreat!"

The instant the two Dou Lings looked up, they saw Chen Qiye already above them. As his palms came down, their pupils constricted sharply. An overwhelming terror surged within them, and they screamed inwardly.

Two dragon phantoms blasted from Chen Qiye's palms, howling with fierce winds.

"Impossible!"

The two Dou Lings roared. Having worked together for many years, they coordinated perfectly. They flipped their long sabers in midair, their Dou Qi intertwining around their hands as they slashed out a cross!

This strike contained the lifelong Dou Qi of two peak one-star Dou Lings. Even a two-star Dou Ling would not dare take it head-on!

Yet Chen Qiye merely gave a gentle pat, as though caressing a lover. The dragon-shaped Dou Qi swallowed the cross slash from afar, then swept over the two Dou Ling experts like a spring breeze brushing across a hill.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, followed by a thunderous explosion.

It had all happened almost in an instant. When everyone looked closely, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

Two figures fell from the sky, their clothes shredded and their skin split open with countless gashes like branching rivers. Blood flowed endlessly from their bodies. After twitching several times, their legs stiffened, and they died.

"Too strong!"

"Run! We can only run!"

As Yun Tianbing charged forward, that was his only thought. He felt that he could not remain for even another second. Ever since becoming a Dou Zhe, he had never encountered such a terrifying existence. Neither the first palm strike nor the twin palms from above was something he could handle alone.

His eyes bulged, bloodshot veins instantly filling them. He forcibly halted his forward rush, unleashing his Dou Qi without regard for the cost as he pushed Cloud Soaring Step to its limit.

Only this time, Yun Tianbing was using it to flee.

He kicked off the ground, shot backward, then immediately turned and fled.

Yun Tianbing believed that at its limit, Cloud Soaring Step could approach the speed of a three-star Dou Ling. Chen Qiye's offensive Dou Techniques might be terrifying, but he might not necessarily possess a movement technique.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Tianbing had brushed past the two clan heads and put dozens of meters between himself and Chen Qiye. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief—

A leisurely voice drifted from behind him. "Can you... get away?"

"Third Palm!"

As that voice sounded, everyone felt as though they had been dropped into an icy snowfield!

After Chen Qiye landed, he lightly pressed his palm downward, as gently as parents teasing their child.

But!

The instant that palm struck the ground, the earth cracked apart like an erupting volcano, tearing open a three-meter-wide fissure like an earth dragon rising up and rolling forth infernal flames. The people on either side of the fissure were instantly torn to pieces by the raging Dou Qi, including Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa!

A wave of blood mist surged through the air, dyeing everything red.

Organs, ribs, and blood poured down like torrential rain, splattering Mr. Xu from head to toe. Yet he stood there without moving, frozen stiff.

The aftershock from that palm had not yet subsided before it finally struck Yun Tianbing.

His body jolted violently, as though crushed by a hammer weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. A thunderous boom exploded, and Yun Tianbing burst apart in midair. Until his death, he could not believe that a Da Dou Shi had killed him!

From dozens of meters away, Chen Qiye had turned the Misty Cloud Sect's number one outer sect genius into dust with a single palm!

Everyone present found it impossible to believe—utterly unbelievable, like a fantasy!

At the Xiao Clan grounds, along the mountain gate path, severed limbs and blood covered the ground!

At that moment, everyone looking at that figure and the scene resembling a sinister Asura hell could not stop their bodies from trembling.

Only Chen Qiye withdrew his palm and clasped his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely as though the sight before him was not hell, but a picturesque paradise. His gaze swept over the elite Dou Shi of the two clans, sharp enough to seem tangible, as he said calmly:

"Are you still going to attack?"

The entire area fell silent!

Whether from the Jia Lie Clan, the Ao Ba Clan, or even the Xiao Clan, no one made a sound.

Three Dou Lings had joined forces to kill a Da Dou Shi, yet this was how it ended. The sight overturned everything they knew!

Were the ranks of Dou Zhe truly still so clearly divided?

"Ding! Emotion value from Xiao Yan +1000!"

"Ding! From..."

"Ding! Obtained 10 Master Teacher Points!"

The system's voice rang out repeatedly, but Chen Qiye paid it no heed. Letting the mountain wind carry the stench of blood toward his robes, he walked step by step toward Xu Yi.

Xu Yi's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly despairing. Even three Dou Ling experts had died. Who else could possibly be Chen Qiye's match?

Every step Chen Qiye took was like an iron hammer striking everyone's hearts.

Not one elite fighter from the Jia Lie Clan or Ao Ba Clan dared make a move. Even Yun Tianbing, who had pushed Cloud Soaring Step to its limit, had failed to escape Chen Qiye's palm. Who would dare run? Who still dared run?

They all lowered their heads, as though awaiting judgment from the god of death!

Only Xu Yi's face was deathly pale. Watching Chen Qiye slowly approach step by step, he gave a miserable smile. "Chen Qiye, are you going to kill me?"
