Leave the secret token behind, and I will spare you a whole corpse!
An ancient, hoarse voice, yet brimming with icy killing intent, reverberated through the heavens and the earth.
Fatty Wang was pressed to the point of near suffocation by that terrifying domain, his plump face turning purple. A... a peak King realm expert?! We are in trouble!
The gray-robed elder slowly lifted his eyelids. His cloudy gaze swept over the three of them and finally landed on Fatty Wang. His voice was as scratchy as two grinding stones rubbing together, yet it carried an apathy akin to passing judgment on the fate of all living beings.
Hand over... the Seven Stars Secret Token... and everything you know... about the clues to the Elixir of Immortality... This old man... can let you... die... a bit more painlessly...
He spoke very slowly, but with an absolute power. Every word was like a heavy hammer striking the minds of the three!
You must be daydreaming!
Xiao Ruobai abruptly raised his head. There was not a shred of fear in his eyes; instead, a raging fire of battle ignited within them. The corners of his mouth curled into an untamed, rebellious smirk. His voice was loud and clear, carrying unconcealed mockery as he directly interrupted the elder's condescending judgment!
As soon as these words came out, the world seemed to fall dead silent!
Even Fatty Wang, who was beside him and tense to the point of suffocating, was dumbfounded. His plump face twitched, and he almost passed out. B... Big brother! Take... take it easy!
The gray-robed elder, Venerable Withered Bone, suddenly narrowed his cloudy eyes, as if a massive boulder had been thrown into a pool of stagnant water that had lain still for ten thousand years!
Having lived to this day, when had anyone ever dared to speak to him like this? And a junior at that!
You are courting death!
Venerable Withered Bone's hoarse voice suddenly pitched higher, carrying a trace of the furious wrath of one provoked by an ant! He spoke no more. His right hand, as thin as a withered branch, abruptly raised and ruthlessly pressed down toward where the three stood!
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, but the space within a hundred-zhang radius instantly solidified like a plate of iron!
An unimaginably heavy and majestic force, seemingly gathering the weight of a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers, transformed into a massive, invisible hand that covered the sky. Carrying a destructive aura that could crush everything, it crashed down!
Bring it on!
Facing this terrifying strike that would make an ordinary King realm expert pale in fear, Xiao Ruobai not only showed no fear, but his eyes also erupted with a battle intent as scorching as the blazing sun!
He had waited for such an opponent for far too long!
His previous battle with Master Yuji, although a victory, ultimately failed to fully satisfy him.
The veteran King realm expert before him, who had accumulated power for a millennium, was the perfect whetstone for him to test his own breakthrough and temper his Dao of the God of War!
Baiyi! Xiao Ruobai's voice was steady. Leave this person to me! Protect Fatty Wang and keep an eye on the surroundings. Beware of any scoundrels launching a sneak attack!
Fang Hanyu's eyes flashed as he instantly understood Xiao Ruobai's intentions.
He gave a slight nod. Although the Absolute Beginning Sword was not fully unsheathed, its chaotic sword intent had already permeated the air like invisible water, firmly protecting Fatty Wang in the center. At the same time, his divine sense acted like the most precise net, quietly scanning the restless undercurrents lurking nearby.
He understood that his big brother needed a hearty and exhilarating duel!
Big brother! You... you be careful!
Fatty Wang was so nervous that his plump face turned pale, but he still forced himself to shout out, while frantically pulling out a few crumpled defensive talismans and slapping them onto his own body.
Don't worry!
Xiao Ruobai let out a ringing laugh, his heroism reaching the clouds.
He took a step forward, and the golden battle aura around his body erupted into the sky like a volcano! His entire being seemed to transform into a blazing sun walking among mortals, scorching, domineering, and pressing forward with indomitable will!
Junior, your courage is commendable, but... you are merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
The gray-robed elder, Venerable Withered Bone, flashed a trace of surprise in his cloudy eyes, which then turned into an icy indifference.
He did not underestimate his opponent just because he was a junior. Instead, because of Xiao Ruobai's pure and majestic battle intent, he mustered a hint of seriousness. He slowly raised his withered hand and delivered another seemingly effortless downward press.
However, this press was completely different from the one he used to block their path earlier!
The spiritual energy in the world seemed to be instantly drained, compressed, and solidified! An invisible giant hand, even more corporeal and heavier than before, as if forged from billions of tons of black iron, descended with a terrifying power capable of crushing stars and collapsing the void!
The space let out a wail, unable to bear the burden, as streaks of black rifts spread out with the giant hand at the center!
Excellent! Nine Tribulations of the War God—Army Breaker!
Xiao Ruobai let out a wild roar, advancing instead of retreating!
The Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd unleashed an earth-shattering dragon roar. The halberd's body radiated a brilliant golden light, and an extremely condensed golden halberd glow, seemingly capable of piercing through heaven and earth, fiercely thrust toward the crushing invisible giant hand like a comet striking the moon!
There were no tricks and no dodging, only the purest, most direct collision of power!
Boom!!!!!
A terrifying explosion shook the universe! The golden halberd glow and the invisible giant hand crashed into each other ruthlessly! A destructive shockwave of energy frantically expanded outward in a ring, shaving several more zhang off the already devastated mountain range below! Dust and smoke shot into the sky, blotting out the sun!
As the light dissipated, Xiao Ruobai's figure swayed slightly. He took a half-step back, his arm holding the halberd feeling slightly numb, but his eyes grew increasingly bright!
He had blocked it! Relying on his cultivation at the early stages of the Celestial realm, he forcibly withstood an angry strike from this veteran peak King realm expert!
What?!
Venerable Withered Bone's cloudy eyes suddenly shrank, revealing a look of disbelief for the first time! Although he had not used his full strength in this strike, he had used seventy percent of his power, which was enough to easily annihilate an ordinary early-stage King realm expert!
Yet the junior before him had only taken a half-step back?! This physical strength and this level of condensed battle aura were simply unimaginable!
Take another strike from my halberd! Nine Tribulations of the War God—Immortal Slaughterer!
Xiao Ruobai pressed his advantage without showing any mercy, his battle intent boiling to its peak!
His figure moved like lightning as he actively launched an attack! The Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd transformed into a sky full of golden halberd shadows. Each shadow contained a terrifying killing intent capable of tearing the firmament and slaughtering gods and immortals, enveloping Venerable Withered Bone like a violent storm!
Hmph! Arrogant junior!
Venerable Withered Bone was also provoked into true anger. Having lived for a millennium, when had he ever been actively attacked by a junior like this?
He thrust out both palms simultaneously. His withered hands seemed to contain the power to move mountains and fill seas. Wherever his palm wind passed, space twisted and laws wailed, shattering the sky full of halberd shadows one by one!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The two engaged in an earth-shattering close-quarters combat in midair!
Golden light and gray shadows intertwined, while halberd glows and palm winds collided. Every clash erupted with a deafening blast and a destructive energy storm! The aftershocks of the battle turned a radius of several dozen miles into a dead zone!
Those hiding in the dark surroundings, who had originally planned to wait for an opportunity to strike, were now all staring dumbfounded, their minds completely shaken!
Is... is this Battle Asura a monster?! Clashing head-on with Venerable Withered Bone with a Celestial realm cultivation and not losing?
It is far more than just not losing! Look at his offensive, it is simply like a mad demon! He actually forced Venerable Withered Bone to take him seriously!
What kind of monstrous genius has been nurtured here!
Fortunately, we did not act rashly just now...
The whispers were filled with shock and lingering fear. The terrifying combat prowess displayed by Xiao Ruobai had completely overturned their understanding of realm disparities!
Fang Hanyu protected Fatty Wang, calmly watching the battlefield while keeping a vigilant watch on their surroundings.
He could sense several powerful auras hidden in the shadows fluctuating violently in response to Xiao Ruobai's explosive outburst, but for the time being, they were all completely deterred.
Fatty Wang's jaw dropped. Dazzled by the spectacle, he murmured, "Mother of mercy... Big Bro is... way too fierce..."
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry...

"Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
