Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 929, Second Move

"Second move!"

Before he finished speaking, Master Qian's body was already tense, like a fully drawn bow!
The urgent desire to verify his suspicions, mixed with the astonishment and doubt that Fang Yu had survived a blow, completely ignited his fighting spirit.

His body was slightly hunched, his bones made a faint creaking sound, and his posture was strange, as if he was imitating the ferocious appearance of some ancient demon.

Those bloodshot eyes, like those of a hawk locking onto its prey, were fixed on Fang Yu, scrutinizing him with an almost cruel intensity.

In the midst of that suffocating gaze, his eyelids blinked, extremely slowly.

Tick.

That blink seemed to open some forbidden gate.

A drop of thick, dark liquid slid down his cheek without warning.

The tear that slid down her cheek felt like a corrosive acid, or a spreading virus, leaving a winding, filthy black trail.

The mark was not a simple stain, but rather embedded in the skin like a brand.

It forms a mark that resembles both an ancient, sinister tattoo and a hideous scar, exuding an ominous aura.

However, the changes are only just beginning!
On Master Qian's bare hands, the veins bulged like awakened venomous snakes!

Even more horrifying was the bright red blood that had been flowing through his veins.

It was replaced by a thick, filthy black at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The dark blood flowed sluggishly, like putrid mud that had been deposited underground for thousands of years.

With each difficult advance, the dangerous aura emanating from him suddenly intensified, as if the air itself had solidified under this invisible pressure.

Fang Yu's nerves tensed instantly, and a strong, instinctive warning rushed into his mind!

However, just as the thought crossed his mind, the deep, hoarse voice of Master Qian, as if it came from the deepest hell, rang out.

"Demon...transformation!"

boom--! ! !
It was as if an invisible torrent had instantly breached the dam!
The black liquid, which had been flowing slowly like stagnant mud, suddenly became violent!

They surged wildly within the body of the Thousand Hall at an incredible speed, transforming into streaks of black light that raced ceaselessly through its network of blood vessels.

In an instant, the remaining bright red completely disappeared, and all the blood in his body turned into filthy black mud!
Such a terrifyingly high-speed blood flow would have caused the blood vessels of an ordinary martial artist to burst inch by inch, and their heart to be unable to bear the burden and explode instantly.

However, Master Qian not only withstood this violent power.

Furthermore, under the frenzied amplification of the demonic bloodline within him, wisps of black smoke, almost imperceptible, rose from his body, distorting his vision.

He was shrouded in a strange mist, making his figure appear blurry and uncertain.

"Humph……"

The voice of Master Qian came through the smoke, carrying a hint of surprise and cold mockery.

"I didn't expect things to come to this... I have to say, you ant have given me a little 'surprise'."

He paused, then his tone suddenly turned fierce, his killing intent permeating the air like a tangible force.

"To die by my move will be the greatest honor of your life!"

Seeing Qian Tangzhu's attitude of being on high alert, even going so far as to reveal his trump card prematurely, Fang Yu was almost amused by his anger.

He hasn't even gotten close to becoming a demon yet!

In order to kill him instantly by the so-called "three-move agreement", the other party even hastily used his trump card, "demonization", to save his life.
how?

He got desperate because his first move failed to crush him?
It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Fang Yu, who had initially harbored some suspicions and was testing the waters, saw how "serious" the other party was and immediately gave up on trying to probe further.

You like unleashing powerful attacks, huh? Then let's unleash them together!

"Demon...transformation!!!"

boom--! ! !
My heart felt like it was being pounded by an invisible giant hammer!

A fierce aura, even wilder and more violent than when Master Qian had previously unleashed it, surged forth.

Centered on Fang Yu, it swept outwards violently in all directions like an invisible hurricane and tsunami!
Having just completed his demon transformation and was immersed in the increase in power, Master Qian's expression suddenly changed drastically!
The terrifying aura that hit him was far more intense and oppressive than he had anticipated!
He stared intently, his pupils suddenly contracting.

All that could be seen was the white bone armor that had originally covered Fang Yu's body.

Under the influence of demonic power, it has completely transformed into a deep, withered color, like decaying wood that has weathered for thousands of years!
It was no longer a simple covering, but a symbol of the perfect fusion of demonic bloodline power and that strange technique, forming a unified whole!

This seamless integration of bloodline and martial arts technique exudes a primal and powerful aesthetic.

Even the well-informed Master Qian couldn't help but let out a low gasp of amazement.

The greed that was already present in his eyes became incredibly hot, almost burning, as if it had been doused with boiling oil!

If before he only coveted Fang Yu's peculiar and unique skill,

At this moment, his goal is crystal clear and singular.

That "Pure White Bone" technique, which can fuse with the bloodline of demons to such a high degree, giving birth to withered bone demon armor!
If one could plunder it, and then combine it with one's own powerful demonic bloodline to conduct deductions and research...

Perhaps, we might actually be able to glimpse the path to breaking through the seemingly unattainable Six Souls Realm!

The immense temptation filled Master Qian with overwhelming joy, causing him to completely overlook another possibility.

The question is whether he can truly kill this increasingly bizarre opponent within three moves.

The surprise and admiration in his eyes were more of an intense desire for the "treasure" that Fang Yu possessed, rather than the heavy pressure one would feel when facing a powerful enemy.

Fang Yu was completely underestimated.

However, Fang Yu didn't care at all.

At this moment, the raging demonic power was like surging lava.

It merged into every inch of his flesh, bones, and even the depths of his soul, perfectly blending with the withered bone armor transformed by the "Primordial Body Technique," becoming inseparable from each other.

Yuan Demon Body!
This is his true demeanor right now!
With this unprecedented form of power, his combat strength... is no longer what it used to be!

tread! ! !
Just as Fang Yu was thinking, the black smoke swirling around Master Qian's feet suddenly exploded!

Without the slightest warning, and without even a shout, Master Qian's figure had vanished!
Extremely fast!

But this time, unlike before when it was difficult to capture.

Fang Yu, having activated his Primal Demon Body, experienced a qualitative leap in his perception!
He could not only clearly "sense" the other party's presence, but he could even "see" the Thousand Hall Master tearing through the air like a ghost, rushing towards him at a speed far exceeding his previous speed!

In Fang Yu's eyes, which seemed to pierce through the void, the Thousand Hall Master's movements, though as fast as lightning, were like a slowed-down video, with every detail clearly discernible.

On the contrary, his own body's reaction seemed to be a beat slower due to the sudden increase in his senses. "Hmph!"

In the blink of an eye, their gazes collided again at extremely close range!

Although Fang Yu's precise capture of his whereabouts caused a hint of surprise to flash in Qian Tangzhu's eyes.

But instead of showing the slightest fear, he curled his lips into a cold, confident smile.

Just as they were closing in, Master Qian's right leg suddenly swelled up!

The black blood vessels covering it seemed to have been injected with violent energy, suddenly expanding and bulging to nearly twice their original size!
The black blood flowing inside his thighs accelerated instantly, almost forming a blurry dark shadow!

Fang Yu's expression changed slightly, and alarm bells rang in his mind!
boom--! ! !
A deep, guttural bang!
The figure of Master Qian vanished suddenly before Fang Yu's eyes, like a bubble!

Only a wisp of black smoke, like a smoke ring, slowly spread and twisted in place.

Disappeared? ?

Gudong!

Fang Yu's heart clenched painfully!
A chilling sensation, stemming from the instinct for death, instantly shot from my spine straight to the top of my head!
Without a second thought, relying on the extraordinary intuition brought by his Yuan Demon Body, he suddenly turned around!

dead!
A pure, suffocating, and despairing concept of "death," like tangible ice, instantly enveloped Fang Yu's entire body!
What came into view was the incredibly thick right arm of Master Qian after he had completely transformed into a demon!
The arm muscles were knotted like black rocks, covered with fine, scaly keratin.

At this moment, it is clenched into a giant, pitch-black fist that exudes an aura of destruction.

Tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, it slammed into his chest with the force of a thunderbolt!
Too fast! Too close! Too deadly!
There's no way to dodge it! There's no way to avoid it! There's simply not enough time to make an effective evasion!

The only way out... is to tough it out!
At this critical moment, Fang Yu clearly saw the increasingly intense, cold smile on the corner of Master Qian's mouth, as if he had already seen victory.

Bang—!! Crack!!!

The fist force, violent to the extreme, suddenly erupted!

The air was compressed and torn apart, pulling out hissing, black lightning-like turbulent energy flows!

The terrifying impact was like a massive hammer crashing down, and Fang Yu's seemingly indestructible wooden armor shattered and broke like rotten wood!
"die."

Master Qian silently thought to himself, "Cold and ruthless."

Just as this force, powerful enough to shatter mountains and break peaks, was about to penetrate the withered armor and strike Fang Yu's fragile body, piercing it completely and tearing it in two, the moment arrived.

A subtle, yet absolutely unsettling feeling, like a cold, venomous snake, crept into his heart.

calm.

Yes, it's so weird!
Fang Yu's reaction, or rather... his current state, was too calm!

That calm gaze, that calm demeanor, was as calm as if this fatal blow, powerful enough to pulverize steel, was... nothing to be afraid of for him.
This is impossible!

Master Qian was absolutely certain of his level of power.

Just as he had easily broken through the white bone armor before, this time he used a punch with even stronger demonic power, enough to completely shatter Fang Yu and his armor together!
This is an absolute crushing defeat in terms of strength!
He didn't believe Fang Yu had any way to turn the tide.

The three-move agreement is about to come to an end!
His second move was to secure victory!

Fang Yu's extraordinary skills were already his!
The fruits of victory are within reach!
however--

A sudden change occurred!

Because, just a fraction of a second before that destructive fist was about to touch Fang Yu's body...

Fang Yu's lips curled up in a smile!
It was an extremely subtle arc, yet at this moment it seemed incredibly glaring and incredibly mocking!

Immediately afterwards——

Glug glug glug—! ! !
It was as if a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years had suddenly erupted within Fang Yu's body!

At the broken end of the withered wood armor that had been blasted apart, countless dark, viscous substances writhed and gushed out like living creatures!

They seemed to possess life, solidifying and regenerating at a speed beyond comprehension the instant that Master Qian's pupils suddenly contracted and his expression changed drastically!
It not only instantly filled the huge gap that had been blasted into the withered wood armor.

Even the newly formed, more refined withered wood armor took the initiative and fearlessly "crashed" into Master Qian's sure-fire punch!

boom--! ! !
A deafening roar erupted once again!

The destructive force of Master Qian's punches did not disappear; they continued to strike wildly, tearing apart the newly formed withered wood armor.

However, what shocked him was that the repair speed of the withered wood armor was faster than he could comprehend!

The writhing dark matter seemed to possess endless regenerative power, and as it was torn apart, it proliferated wildly at an even faster rate!

Its repair efficiency seemed to... subtly surpass the speed of its destruction?!
"How can it be?!"

A storm raged in Master Qian's heart!

Not for any other reason, but because the scene before him completely overturned his common sense about power!

How could the opponent's defense regeneration speed be so unbelievably fast?!
This is a power that no kid of this level can possibly possess!
His power, his terrifying strength capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, was being consumed and neutralized in a maddening way by the seemingly decaying but actually terrifyingly vital withered wood armor!
boom--! ! !
In the end, the remaining force of that punch still completely impacted Fang Yu.

Like striking a cow across a mountain, the shockwave pierced through the withered wood armor, creating a terrifying hole the size of a fist with spiderweb-like cracks on the armor on Fang Yu's chest and back!
The immense force sent Fang Yu flying like a kite with a broken string.

With a muffled thud, it crashed heavily against the smoke-filled prison walls before slumping to the ground, motionless.

However, Master Qian stared intently at his fist, his face showing no joy of victory.

Instead, it was filled with an unprecedented and extremely strong sense of strangeness and absurdity!
That was a punch delivered with all one's might...

It felt as if I had struck a bottomless, rotten swamp that was constantly devouring my power!
Frustrated! Frustrated! An indescribable annoyance!

His proudest achievement was his all-out attack after his demonic transformation!

It should have been a devastating, all-consuming destruction!
But the final "result" was merely knocking the opponent away?

And then there's that terrifying, relentless healing power, like a leech clinging to a bone, driving one to despair...

What the hell is this? !
Is this really the strength this kid should have?!
Compared to the repair of the bone armor, the regeneration speed of this withered wood armor is... worlds apart!
They exist in completely different dimensions!

"The second move..."

A calm, unwavering voice came from the prone figure.

Fang Yu slowly pushed himself up from the ground, his movements so fluid that it was as if the potentially fatal blow had been nothing more than a gentle breeze.

The withered wood armor on his body, which had been blasted with two large holes, had long since been restored to its original state, without even a trace of crack, as if that earth-shattering punch had never happened.

"...Is it over?"
