Chapter 568 - 534 Step 6
Looking into the slightly blood-colored eyes of the other party, Chang Xueyi suddenly felt a chill rise in his heart.
This terrifying recovery power.... it’s beyond divine, surpassing worship!
No.... even ordinary worship isn’t as terrifying as he is!
You have to know, he’s using a demon weapon!!
"If there’s nothing left.... then...." Zhang Rongfang’s voice came through again.
Along with it came an overwhelmingly oppressive sensation.
Chang Xueyi felt tense in his heart, finally daring not to hold back anything.
His whole body shook, his shirt bursting apart, and his muscles rapidly expanded like inflating.
A large "Ren" character was naturally outlined in the lines of his muscles.
On his chest was "Ren," and on his back was "Yi!"
The muscle lines were dense, like a carved sculpture.
"Final Form!"
"Ziwei!!!"
With a low shout, Chang Xueyi’s entire upper body began to insanely grow larger.
His height and body width also began to swell and become gigantic.
Two meters, three meters, four meters!
As his height grew, his body width piled on top like building blocks, growing a massive cluster of muscles like a bunch of grapes.
In just one second, his entire body turned into an exaggerated, distorted shape, more than two meters wide.
Standing there, he was like a living mountain of flesh!
"Die!!"
Suddenly raising his hand, Chang Xueyi pressed his palm down on Zhang Rongfang’s head.
At this time, his hand was as large as the head of an average person.
His thick fingers were covered in twisting muscles still squirming, but this distorted physique brought an explosive speed far greater than before.
Zhang Rongfang did not dodge, not just because of the span of this move’s increase exceeded his prior estimation.
But also because he wanted to personally experience the true power of Confucian martial arts.
This was a martial arts gap he hadn’t seen before and needed to fill.
So....
’Critical State.’
He slightly raised his eyes, and his body rapidly expanded with three layers of Extreme State adding together, growing to three meters tall.
Then raised his hand, forward, a palm.
Booming!!!!
The two large hands collided suddenly, the huge explosion sounding like thunder, compressing the surrounding air to explode, forming a gust of wind blowing away the snow.
In a short time, the area within ten meters around them was void of snowflakes.
Even the falling snow powder in the sky was blown away and fell elsewhere.
Chang Xueyi only felt a numbness in his arm.
His strength did indeed have the upper hand, but.... only slightly....!
Just a bit stronger than the other party!!
"How... how is that possible!!?" He leveraged to retreat, eyes wide, staring hard at Zhang Rongfang.
He had already opened the Final Form, and yet the other party, without opening theirs, could receive his full strength palm!!?
"Where is your Interim Resolve? Why haven’t you opened it yet?" Zhang Rongfang smiled.
"..." Chang Xueyi gritted his teeth but didn’t answer.
The Interim Resolve and Final Form indeed substantially increase power, but after a little longer time, they will cause excessive spiritual consumption, must be used cautiously, or it’s easy to consume excessively and fall into unconsciousness.
Only those lunatics at the Extreme Realm can keep it open longer than most.
"Is that all?" Zhang Rongfang observed his expression and knew perhaps this state was the other’s strongest state.
From dealing with other Grandmasters, this person is indeed exceptional. His strength has already surpassed the Spirit General, Sang Lan from back then.
But the rest.... this level of power couldn’t be considered the legendary Confucian Grandmaster.
"You’re really strong... truly strong...." Chang Xueyi slowly spoke. "Seems like, without using the true killer move, it’s impossible to overcome you...."
He looked up at Zhang Rongfang, that feeling, that suffocating feeling as if being trapped in a swamp no matter how much strength or lethal move he used, was simply the most he’d seen in his life!
The other party seemed like a giant shadow elongated under candlelight, completely enveloping him, no matter how he struggled, always under its shadow.
Chang Xueyi took a deep breath, the surrounding air seemed to be drawn out in various sizes of whirlwinds with his breath.
"Since the temple master insists on keeping us.... then..."
Boom!!!
Before the words finished, a silver light instantly appeared behind Zhang Rongfang.
The silver light swept from left to right, bringing a moon-white brilliance. It was precisely the demon spear Shark Tiger who was just blasted away by a move!!
He roared furiously and his body rapidly expanded, skin manifested black and white patterns, a faint "King" character emerged at the center of his brows. His height went from nearly three meters initially, quickly grew to three and a half meters.
In the snowy terrain, he stepped forward one step at a time, countless snow powders exploded like splash, with each step creating a basin-sized round crater.
’Extreme State: Moon Tiger!’
’Extreme State: Moon Dragon!’
’Final Form! Dragon Tiger Slash!!’
Layer upon layer of explosions continuously added within his body, like bombs, detonating all his potential power.
The last step, only ten meters away from Zhang Rongfang.
Shark Tiger let out a wild roar, mouth and nose shook emitting trembling sound waves like dragons and tigers.
The invisible sound wave formed a shockwave, and with all his essence Qi and spirit gathering, faintly formed a vague unicorn dragon head, rushing eyes wide open towards Zhang Rongfang.
Ang!!!
Zhang Rongfang spun quickly, narrowing his eyes. His mind simultaneously pressed by the other’s spiritual field.
This is a mental attack only possessed by Grandmasters. Ordinary Grandmasters weaker in this aspect cannot effectively utilize it.
Yet the Shark Tiger before him was using it so explosively...
This move exploded with Final Form, whether it was power, speed, or the accumulated penetrating explosive force, all far exceeded what just happened.
At least several times more powerful!
’Worthy of the ninth on the Red List!’
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Rongfang still had time to sigh with admiration.
At the same time, behind him, Chang Xueyi’s eyes similarly dazed, arms swinging, as if countless blue-black stars flickering in motion.
A surge of similar magnitude, visible only to experts who have touched the spiritual field, radiated from him.
Yet this force was much weaker than that of the Shark Tiger. It was at most one-tenth of its strength.
However, despite its weakness, it was stealthy and silent.
’Final resolution.’
Chang Xueyi’s arms trembled.
All starlight converged into a single point, which he pushed forward, crashing straight into Zhang Rongfang’s back.
’Benevolence unparalleled!!’
In an instant, the starlight shone brightly, as he crossed his palms and struck Zhang Rongfang’s back with a deadly move.
At the same time, Shark Tiger’s devil spear was thrust straight at Zhang Rongfang’s neck; if it hit, it would surely sever his neck, a head-chop in one move!
At that moment, Zhang Rongfang raised both arms and countless blood vessels appeared in his eyes.
"Blood Lotus!"
Two blood lotuses bloomed simultaneously, blood patterns spreading, covering his entire body. In an instant, his body also grew taller and bigger.
Three and a half meters!
Four meters!
Five meters!!
"Final form: Godspeed!"
Shoo!
With a soft sound, everything around slowed down, became sluggish.
The silver demon spear in front and the dazzling black star behind, both seemed like insects frozen in amber, struggling slowly to move forward.
"It’s over."
Zhang Rongfang stepped slightly aside, pointed forward and slowly tapped Shark Tiger’s forehead.
Splat!!!
Facing the Grandmaster, Godspeed didn’t last long before collapsing.
But it was already enough.
Shark Tiger was struck as if by lightning, standing motionless in place, the magic spear in his hand lost all sharpness and became dull.
A blood hole the size of an egg pierced through his forehead, going through his brain, leaving a hole in his entire head.
At this moment, Zhang Rongfang was jolted, struck in the back by Chang Xueyi’s deadly blow.
With immense penetrating power, it went through Zhang Rongfang’s back from Chang Xueyi’s gloves, piercing through flesh and bone, then exiting from the front chest bone.
Chang Xueyi’s hands had penetrated through the middle of Zhang Rongfang’s towering five-meter body from the back.
Whoosh!!
Chang Xueyi forcefully tried to tear Zhang Rongfang apart, ripping him into pieces.
But...
His hands were stuck....
Furthermore, he was horrified to find that the flesh around the wounds of his hands had rapidly regenerated in just a second, attaching his arms entirely to Zhang Rongfang’s back!
"You... what kind of monster are you!!?" he struggled to break free.
But a large hand steadily gripped his head.
Chang Xueyi’s pupils shrank, clearly seeing a new black arm growing from Zhang Rongfang’s back.
That arm appeared even thicker, tougher, and more powerful than his regular arms.
Mental field oppression has no effect! His body seems blessed, possessing infinite recovery power!!
Most terrifying of all, magic weapons are ineffective against him!!
At this moment, Chang Xueyi seemed to return to long ago, feeling the shock in his heart when he first saw the undying bodies of Spiritual Veins.
Later, he found magic weapons and killed Spiritual Veins one by one, finally overcoming his fear.
But now.....
He felt again the overwhelming terror he once experienced...
"Is there anything you want to say?" Zhang Rongfang held Chang Xueyi’s hand, forcibly pulling it out of the wound.
He seemed to feel no pain at all.
The wound healed instantly at the moment of extraction.
".....!?" Chang Xueyi felt his final form fading, weakening.
"You didn’t worship the gods." Zhang Rongfang said softly, "Neither did I."
He turned around and gently picked up Chang Xueyi, like holding a plump pet.
His opponent tried to struggle free, but... with two crisp snaps.
Chang Xueyi’s arms were twisted and broken.
"Any last words?"
Zhang Rongfang’s five-meter body now used the third arm on his back to grip his head and hang him up.
At this moment, with his life force significantly increased, his body’s density was far stronger than before.
"I am the head of the Solitary Swan Academy! If you dare kill me, you will be hunted down by academies worldwide!" Chang Xueyi gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Have you considered joining my Human Immortal Temple?" Zhang Rongfang smiled.
This man’s power was already formidable; using Ran Xinyue as a unit, his explosive force was at least equivalent to five Ran Xinyues.
"If you are willing, you could attain an exceptional Dao foundation like mine, achieving enlightenment and immortality is not a fantasy."
"Dao basis?" Chang Xueyi recalled the terrifying performance of Zhang Rongfang, his incredible recovery power.
Also, the abnormal robustness of his body.
If on a lower level, those with weaker physical strength would be easily broken with a palm.
Even in same-level encounters, Chang Xueyi had almost never met anyone who could match their Confucian Grandmasters in terms of strength.
The Human Immortal Temple master before him was the first.
"Well? Would you like to join?" Zhang Rongfang’s voice sounded again.
"Since you think so, why didn’t you ask sooner? Why kill the Demon Spear Shark Tiger!?" Chang Xueyi asked in confusion through gritted teeth.
"Since you dare act in Wushan Prefecture, it means disrespecting me, naturally I need to take action as a warning.
As for Shark Tiger..... who said he was dead?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly laughed.
Chang Xueyi looked towards the location of Demon Spear Shark Tiger, but was shocked.
The Shark Tiger’s corpse, still standing moments ago, mysteriously disappeared.
"No need to search, he has worshipped the gods. It’s an extremely hidden worship." Zhang Rongfang said calmly.
