Ruan Yingchen’s eyes bulged, his mouth slightly agape, watching helplessly as the blue-clad maid was torn in two like a rag by Fang Zhixing.
Blood spattered across the sky!
Ruan Yingchen couldn’t help but hold his breath, his eyebrows knitted tightly, his facial expression stunned.
Fang Zhixing was too fast, so fast that Ruan couldn’t stop him in time.
To be precise, he was caught off guard, completely unprepared for Fang Zhixing’s astonishing speed.
"You, you’ve enhanced not only your strength but also your agility!"
Ruan Yingchen finally came to a realization, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, "You rascal, it turns out you’re at the Two Beasts Realm! You’ve been playing the fool all along!"
Fang Zhixing scoffed disdainfully and unhurriedly pulled out the letter from his bosom, wiping the fresh blood from his hands.
Next, he tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.
It was just a blank piece of paper, not a single word written on it.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, curiously asking, "Why did you decide to kill me, yet still have me deliver a letter to Apricot Blossom Village?"
Ruan Yingchen’s lips tightened, and he snorted coldly, "There lives a madwoman in Apricot Blossom Village. I intended to use her to kill you, but I quickly realized you might have grown suspicious and wouldn’t go to Apricot Blossom Village at all."
Fang Zhixing understood, growing more curious, he asked, "Who exactly is that madwoman, and why were you so sure that she would kill me upon seeing me?"
Ruan Yingchen bared his teeth, smiling sinisterly, "Before I kill you, I’ll make sure you die understanding everything."
As he spoke, his muscles rapidly swelled, stretching his large robe, and his clothing surfaced with chunks of muscles as hard as steel.
Fang Zhixing’s gaze sharpened, noticing Ruan Yingchen’s facial and neck muscles bulge swiftly, hardening into a shell-like scale armor.
Ruan Yingchen raised both hands, and the same transformation happened to his hands, each muscle turning into turtle shell.
At a glance, Ruan Yingchen appeared to have a layer of transparent turtle shells stuck to the surface of his skin.
"Xuanwu Demon Armor!!"
Fang Zhixing’s eyes brightened as if ablaze, a strong combat spirit emerging on his face.
"Come on, let me see how strong the son of a noble family really is."
He positioned himself, beckoning Ruan Yingchen with a flick of his finger.
"Hmph, you know nothing of death."
Ruan Yingchen scornfully sneered, "All you commoners are the same, practicing a bit of martial arts, gaining a bit of power, and then arrogantly thinking you are fit to challenge a noble’s son. Ah, such ignorance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood firmly, stretching his legs straight, suddenly leaning forward nearly thirty degrees to the ground.
This movement was quite strange.
Xigou, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but be reminded of Michael Jackson’s iconic dance move.
In the next instant, Ruan Yingchen suddenly burst forward, moving incredibly fast.
Despite Xigou’s exceptional vision, he found Ruan Yingchen’s speed astonishing.
Strangely, Ruan Yingchen’s feet stuck close to the ground, legs together without any running motion, just swaying left and right as he slid forward, kicking up a trail of dust.
It was like a snake slithering on the ground!
"Burst Skill・Turtle Snake Step!"
Ruan Yingchen created a series of afterimages, swiftly charged forward, stayed low and threw a punch aiming at Fang Zhixing’s lower body.
Fang Zhixing remained stern and unflinching, waiting for Ruan Yingchen to come closer.
All at once, he opened his mouth, and from his abdomen to his throat, he powered up and let out a furious roar.
[Burst Skill・Fierce Bear Roar]
The air around vibrated with ripples, impacting on Ruan Yingchen’s body.
Ruan Yingchen groaned, his expression disordered, startled, quickly turned his head, and scurried close to the ground, brushing past Fang Zhixing’s side.
Fang Zhixing took a large step back, pressed down his body, one toe clawing the ground, his right hand clawing upward from below.
Ruan Yingchen was taken aback again, swiftly slapped the ground with his palm, twisted his waist, and jerked up from the ground.
Immediately, five claw marks appeared on the rock behind him, sending fragments flying.
Ruan Yingchen landed beside the rock, looked down at his torn collar, and squinted his eyes, "Is this the Fierce Bear Claw?!"
Fang Zhixing’s lips curved into a smile, saying, "Congratulations, you guessed right."
Ruan Yingchen took a deep breath, clicking his tongue, "Seven Evil Palm, Fierce Bear True Intent, Hongmao Blade, and a hand technique that can explode a person, you really are multi-talented."
Fang Zhixing responded coldly, "So, you better show some real skill, otherwise you’ll be dead with the next move."
Ruan Yingchen chuckled sinisterly, his expression fierce, "I was just playing with you, and you truly think you’re a big deal."
He charged aggressively, moving even faster, his head held high, he smashed a fist towards Fang Zhixing’s face.
Fang Zhixing dodged by tilting his head, instantly unleashing a Heavenly Slaughter Palm, striking out in a straight line.
Ruan Yingchen swayed his body left and right like a snake nodding rhythmically, creating a dense series of afterimages, elusive and incredibly fast.
Fang Zhixing’s palm hit the air, raising a wave of dust.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his stomach.
A sound like fireworks exploding echoed through the air.
Ruan Yingchen pounded out a punch, dispelling an afterimage, turned his head to see, Fang Zhixing had already shifted his position.
"Oh, could this be ’Heavenly Sound Burst Kill’?"
Ruan Yingchen clicked his tongue in wonder, "Who exactly are you, and why are you proficient in so many martial arts? Were you trained by the Martial Alliance?"
Fang Zhixing laughed, "Before I kill you, I’ll make sure you die understanding everything."
