Holy Fist!

Chapter 425 It actually made me bleed, very good! (6.5k)

"stop."

A voice came from behind, sounding like heavenly music to Youjian's ears.

"Boom!"

A building in the distance had its wall smashed open, bricks and stones flying everywhere, and mist billowing. A tall figure, wrapped in rings of dark, cold chains, emerged, wisps of black smoke emanating from him, exuding an oppressive aura. His footsteps landed heavily and forcefully, the chains rubbing and clashing against each other.

It emitted a series of eerie low-frequency vibrations.

"grown ups."

"help me!"

At this moment, perhaps it was the intrusion of Dark Star that broke the previous atmosphere of fear and terror. Youjian finally broke free from his instinctive stiffness, his aura suddenly erupting, his face flushed red with exertion. He turned abruptly, his toes barely touching the ground, and he dashed away like an arrow.

They wanted to get closer to Dark Star and stay away from White Owl.

However, the Nether Sword had just taken flight.

"despair."

Suddenly, a strong, muscular hand gently pressed down on his shoulder. There was no force applied, no veins bulging, yet the full force of Youjian, a master of a Transcendent Realm sect, as he charged forward was easily suppressed. The force of that charge was probably no less than that of a rocket launch.

It was essentially a humanoid rocket, which was pressed down by White Owl with a single hand.

"Boom!"

The sword landed firmly on its feet, then rammed straight into the ground like a heavy pile driver, causing a thunderous tremor. Cracks several meters in diameter spread outwards, the soil churned like water, and the floor became uneven.

"Hiss..."

Youjian's eyes widened in horror. He stared at Lord Dark Star in the distance, yet felt utterly unsafe. The arm on his left shoulder seemed to emanate an icy, ancient chill, numbing his entire left side. Intense panic and palpitations gripped his trembling heart like a giant hand, squeezing it tightly.

In an instant, Youjian's back and forehead were soaked with cold sweat, his clothes and hair clung to his skin, and he looked as pale as a dead man.

"You're the thief from this afternoon, aren't you?"

"They actually dared to come a second time."

"Hehehe, are you looking for death?"

Behind Youjian stood a strong, burly, dark figure, his towering shadow completely enveloping him. The deep laughter, seemingly emanating from right beside Youjian's ear, made Youjian's eardrums ache, and his teeth seemed to tremble.

"Clap clap clap..."

"What a fine owner of the Dragon and Elephant Pavilion."

"No wonder you were able to defeat the White Saint Hall of the Heavenly Kingdom in the Martial Arts Tournament..."

Suddenly, applause rang out from ahead.

Dark Star clapped his hands while slightly narrowing his eyes, watching White Owl. He strode forward, seemingly completely indifferent to the lives of his men.

They walked towards Bai Xiao.

"However, don't think that defeating Roland of the White Sanctuary will make you the master of the peak sects. The gap between peak sects is sometimes greater than the gap between the Transcendent Realm and the peak. Roland of the White Sanctuary, to put it nicely, is the White Sanctuary under the Heavenly Kingdom; to put it bluntly, he's nothing more than a dog defeated and subdued by the Light Eagle, Felin! There's nothing to be proud of in defeating him. There are only a handful of truly strong individuals among the peak sects worldwide; you can count them on two hands. You're still far from that level..."

Dark Star walked slowly, exuding powerful confidence and a surging aura. He had been stationed in the Kingdom of Luca for several years, dominating the martial arts world of the country and cultivating an air of dominance. It was as if, among the few peak experts he had just mentioned, one finger represented him.

As Dark Star approached White Owl.

The surrounding area suddenly darkened, as if enveloped by an inexplicable, immense aura, like a giant star, a black hole, pressing down relentlessly. The black vortex, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, was suffocating.

He never even considered talking to Bai Xiao to ask him to let Youjian go.

Dark Star believed that as long as his terrifying aura overwhelmed them, the enemy would naturally understand the situation and make the right choice. He had always done this in the Kingdom of Luca, and it had always been successful; he had never failed.

This time, there won't be any districts either...

"Click!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Dark Star stopped in his tracks, his face stiffening.

His composed expression turned grim at a visible speed.

Only the front can be seen.

A massive, veiny hand, as large as a millstone, slowly pressed down on Youjian's trembling shoulder. Crackling sounds, like a series of firecrackers exploding, echoed as half of Youjian's body, like a balloon unable to withstand the pressure, split open with dozens of gashes, spurting blood.

It rapidly dyed the surrounding ground red.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

Youjian was speechless, only able to scream in agony. His face was contorted with pain, only his eyes looking at Anxing with hopeful eyes, like a desperate person grasping at the last straw.

"Stop!"

Dark Star's face was now completely black, and a rare glint of anger flashed in his eyes, a face that was usually cold. He suddenly took a step forward and roared.

However, his response was a crisp, clean click!
Ahead, the arm, capable of unleashing destructive power like a missile launcher, pressed down without hesitation, slamming it all the way down. The scene in that instant was like someone accidentally standing under a thousand-ton pressure press in a steel mill. With a deafening roar, flesh and bone shattered, turning into a pile of dust.

The Nether Sword was directly pressed into a flat, two-dimensional pattern by Bai Xiao.

It was firmly attached to the ground.

There was only one intact head.

Mouth agape, a silent scream, tears of blood streaming down its face.

During this process, the building's shadow enveloped Bai Xiao, obscuring the expression on the upper half of his face, leaving it completely dark. Only the lower half of his face could be seen, revealing a perpetually ferocious grin, with gleaming white teeth that sent chills down one's spine.

It was as if he was enjoying this bloody massacre.

Dark Star's pupils contracted slightly. The other person's ferocity and violence surpassed even his own. Such cruelty and indifference were rare even among the murderers of the Demon Court. He even suspected that the other person might also be a murderer who had practiced his techniques to the point of demonic possession, only well-hidden!
"Hehehe..."

Dark Star looked at his dead subordinates and let out a series of cold laughs.

"In the Kingdom of Luca, no one has ever dared to kill my Dark Star's subordinates!"

"Bai Xiao, you're very good!"

As Bai Xiao sensed the opponent's increasingly powerful aura, he expressionlessly withdrew his arm, and with a slight tremor, the blood on his surface turned into a cloud of blood mist.

He clapped his hands, remaining unmoved by the threat ahead.

"Dark Star?"

"Never even heard of it. I only know about Light Eagle, Blade Demon, Spirit King, Holy Knight, and Demon. What is Dark Star? As for the Kingdom of Luca, is it even as big as a province in the Tianxia Federation? 100,000 square kilometers, not even as big as Donghai Province..."

Bai Xiao twisted his neck, and his bones cracked.

His entire tall and powerful body seemed to be expanding at an imperceptible speed in the darkness, his terrifying muscles twitching and his blood surging.

"Hehehe."

Dark Star was so angry he laughed.

A dense, dark aura surged from his entire body, like terrifying tentacles spreading outwards in all directions. Above his head, black energy condensed, forming a dark star.

Then there is nothing more to say.

"I'll just kill you and take your mask!"

After much deliberation, Dark Star decided to resort to the simplest and most direct method. Even if a battle at the highest level might attract other forces.

"Since Youjian is dead..."

"Then you shall pay with your life!"

"Boom!"

Dark Star stomped his foot on the ground and charged forward. His strong arms swung out suddenly, and the thick, intertwined chains, manipulated by his secret martial aura, shot out like countless sharp swords.

"Zhi!"

"Zhi!"

"Zhi!"

Several straight, jet-black chains, like divine weapons, slashed heavily at Bai Xiao, and the air suddenly emitted a tearing, whistling sound.

"Ding!!!"

It's dark ahead.

A burst of intensely bright, golden light suddenly erupted and expanded, transforming into a ball of light about five meters in diameter. The chain struck the ball of light, instantly unleashing an astonishing explosion and flames, shooting out golden-red sparks.

The immense shockwave created several ring-shaped shock waves.

A chained black sword was sent flying diagonally, actually cleaving through a wall behind it and extending straight ahead at incredible speed, tearing apart more than a dozen walls and buildings inside the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School. The so-called reinforced concrete structure was utterly vulnerable, as fragile as tofu. Outside the martial arts school, with a thunderous boom, a black sword aura slashed straight out, spanning a hundred meters!
They even cut the road in the distance in half.

The backyard of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School.

"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"

Two figures, one in black and one in gold, engaged in a rapid battle. Their surging auras stirred the wind and clouds, causing the air to distort slightly, obscuring their exact shapes.

All that could be seen was a black figure, continuously wielding a chain-like black sword, transforming it into astonishing slashes. Yet, these attacks were blocked by fists imbued with golden light, forcefully blasting them back. The terrifying power even deformed the chains themselves.

"This external training..."

"This is extremely rare, even on a global scale!"

"They're almost catching up to the Paladins!"

During the intense battle, Dark Star's aura surged, his arms trembled slightly, and his hands went numb. The Dark Star chains that clung to his body were the origin of his nickname. Dark Star's core secret weapon was the Dark Annihilation Star Chains, and at his peak, he could control all 108 Dark Star chains on his body.

At this moment, Dark Star is only using one of the most basic applications of the chains, called the Black Sword. It requires only one chain to execute. Truly powerful techniques require manipulating more chains to create a terrifying, resonant, and suffocating force.

Starlink, Ghost Moon, Black Sun—these are all his terrifying killing moves.

Faced with Bai Xiao's formidable physique, there was no way to use all of his trump cards!

"boom!!!"

The center of the battlefield.

The two figures collided heavily, sending air blasts flying wildly.

Dark Star's fist, bound by cold chains, clashed with White Owl's arm, which was covered in a shimmering golden light. The chains vibrated and sparked red sparks from the friction.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Almost instantly, the chains on Dark Star's arm shot out, rapidly climbing up White Owl's body like tiny black snakes, wrapping around his shoulders and arm joints, locking him firmly. A cold glint flashed in Dark Star's eyes, and his left hand swiftly formed a blade, the chains also forming a sharp dagger shape at the edge of his palm, before suddenly bursting forth.

"Hey!"

With a single, sharp thrust, the blade slashed fiercely towards Bai Xiao's lower abdomen.

"hehe."

Ahead, the tall, golden figure let out a low laugh.

He suddenly jerked his arms outward, grabbing the dense network of black iron chains and yanking them hard, propelling Dark Star forward at an accelerated pace. Bai Xiao's entire body trembled violently with his platinum-gold aura, his terrifying blood energy coalescing like the smoke of war. Terrifying phantom images of five dragons and ten elephants flashed rapidly across his chest.

Black flames burned within his arms.

Like a Kunpeng descending, its power surges!

"Zheng!"

"Oh!"

As Dark Star stabbed White Owl in the abdomen.

Bai Xiao unleashed a palm strike, slamming it heavily towards Dark Star's head.

The airflow exploded inch by inch, creating a huge commotion like an earthquake.

"Ding ding ding..."

In mid-air, several sections of the chain shattered, the seemingly indestructible Dark Star Chains destroyed by a terrifying force. Even though Dark Star used the chains to create a defense above his head, he still groaned and staggered backward.

His gaze was fixed on Bai Xiao's lower abdomen. However, the knife had only left a faint white spot.

When attempting to break through the defenses, it was pushed aside by the phantoms of five dragons and ten elephants.

"It's my turn!"

"Oh!"

Suddenly, the white owl's figure vanished from the distance. In its place, a golden ball of light, like a meteorite, rapidly approached in the corner of my eye.

"boom!"

A massive fist imprint slammed down.

There was a loud bang.

Dark Star flew sideways, and the pitch-black chain shield that had instantly formed on the right side of his body collapsed on the spot, shaking in all directions.

That terrifying power lingered.

It even caused him to temporarily lose control of these chains.

"call out!"

Ahead, the golden figure attacked once more.

The white owl's towering body was poised to charge forward. Its two terrifyingly curved arms were slightly clenched, swollen and red, as if bearing unimaginable power and pressure. The platinum claw marks on the back of its hands shone brightly, emitting a water ripple frequency like an earthquake.

"Fifth Revolution, all celestial birds are annihilated!"

In an instant.

Behind Bai Xiao, it was as if an invisible, colossal bird of vibration descended, causing countless shockwaves to ripple around him. In the area where Dark Star was located, the earth trembled, houses collapsed, and a fist wreathed in flowing light descended.

"Excessive!"

"Dark Annihilation Starlink!"

Without hesitation, Dark Star clenched his fists, and the thirty-six metal chains wrapped around his body shot out simultaneously, gliding rapidly through the air and leaving behind a series of deadly arcs. From a distance, they looked like a chain of satellites orbiting in outer space.

"Bang!!!"

Two enormous forces exploded with a deafening roar.

It unexpectedly erupted with liquid flames resembling magma.

The terrifying shockwaves of the White Owl and the Annihilation of the Heavenly Bird simultaneously bombarded the thirty-six Dark Star Chains, causing them to vibrate wildly. However, the power of the star chains within the thirty-six Dark Star Chains was also constantly eroding the power of the Annihilation of the Heavenly Bird.

"Nice move."

Bai Xiao pressed down with one arm, his marble-like arm bulging with veins that seemed to coil like dragons. A ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Then let's try this move..."

"Sixth Revolution, Extreme Bird Burns the Sky!"

Without the slightest pause, he became like a ruthless fighting machine, his mind filled with murderous intent. Bai Xiao's pupils suddenly turned amber, extremely ferocious, revealing hideous six-lobed peacock eyes.

The poisonous demon drinks the poison, and the polar bird burns the sky!
In the blink of an eye, countless massive explosion phantoms erupted from Bai Xiao's body. An extremely intense bird cry soared into the sky, shattering everything in its path.

He suddenly raised both hands, the lines on his palms revealing neat, feather-like grooves. His five fingers came together to form a bird's beak, and his arms transformed into wings, unleashing the Nine Netherworld Burning Wind. In a trance, a gigantic demonic bird resembling a peacock appeared in the sky, its wings covered with hideous and evil patterns of withered bones.

"Oh!"

It emerged suddenly, accompanied by a fierce wind and flames.

"boom!!!"

Flames billowed and smoke raged.

"call out!"

A tall building shattered with a deafening roar, and Dark Star's body burst forth in a white gas explosion, his back bulging out. He flew almost in a straight line parallel to the ground, transforming into an extremely blurry afterimage.

He blasted down several walls along the way, creating a large crater in the ground.

The wind dispersed.

Dark Star's entire upper body was pitch black, his clothes turned to ashes, with only red-hot chains wrapped around his body. His skin bore burn marks, his muscles twitched slightly, and pain spread.

"call!"

He exhaled a heavy breath of hot air, his brow twitching slightly.

Do you really think I can't break through your defenses?

"Ding ding ding..."

In the distance, the black chain that had been dragging across the ground retracted at an extremely fast speed. At the tip of the chain, a trace of golden blood remained.

Just moments before, when Bai Xiao unleashed the Extreme Bird Burning Heaven technique, An Xing didn't stand idly by; he immediately launched a full-scale counterattack. His entire body was engulfed in a dense barrage of attacks, all concentrated in one spot, creating a terrifyingly high frequency of bombardment.

This move is one of Dark Star's most treasured techniques, specifically designed to counter enemies with strong defenses. He has even managed to pierce through a master of external martial arts.

Killed on the spot!

"Thump, thump, thump, thump."

In the distance, shrouded in mist.

A gigantic figure slowly emerged from the hole in the wall that Dark Star had just crashed into. White smoke trailed behind its shoulders, like a veil.

"It can actually make me bleed, that's great."

"But that's all."

Bai Xiao slowly lowered his head and glanced at his collarbone, where there were two tiny blood spots that had barely broken through the dermis. With a slight swipe of his right hand, the blood spots, each the size of a fingernail, disappeared instantly, healed by the Five Qi Gathering Technique.

"..."

Dark Star's pupils contracted slightly.

The injuries Bai Xiao sustained were less severe than he had imagined.

"call!"

Dark Star exhaled a long puff of white air.

He instantly activated a healing technique; black energy emanated from the wound, and flesh began to wriggle and grow. Although the injury began to heal, it was rather slow.

It is clearly no match for White Owl.

"Boom."

Bai Xiao took a step forward, and the ground trembled slightly.

"You are far inferior to the Blade Demon Light Eagle!"

"Compared to Roland of the White Church, he's only slightly better."

"Where does this person get the confidence to trespass into my Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School?!"

The deafening roar made people's eardrums ache.

Dark Star slowly raised his head, his pupils rapidly turning pure black, like a pair of obsidian stones. He seemed to be swallowed by darkness, his emotions vanishing rapidly, turning him into a cold, ruthless machine.

"I was just teasing you."

“Under normal circumstances, I can only manipulate a maximum of thirty-six Dark Star Chains, and the strongest move I can unleash is Star Chain, which is only one-third of my limit. Now, I can easily command chains that were three times my limit just now… I will show you what Dark Star truly is!”

Dark Star has completely entered that dark state, the price of which is the annihilation and devouring of emotions, which diminish with each use. Ultimately, he will be completely devoid of humanity, becoming a killing machine controlled by Dark Star's chains, killing wherever he goes. Therefore, he will only use it as a last resort.

However, faced with a formidable enemy like Bai Xiao, he had no choice but to break his vow.

"Clang! C ...

For an instant.

Dark Star raised its arms, and the chains wrapped around its body rapidly grew in mid-air, resembling a lush black tree. From a distance, it looked more like a sea urchin, with countless cold tentacles dancing in the air.

"Dark Annihilation. Primal Form!"

His cold, ruthless gaze locked onto Bai Xiao. With a single swing of his arm, all the chains binding him shot out towards Bai Xiao's arm, clanging and clattering in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, a colossal black elephant, radiating a hellish aura, galloped across the land, leaving heavy footprints in its wake. Chains as its bones, its spirit as its flesh—a primordial beast had materialized.

A deadly attack consisting of forty-nine chains slammed towards Bai Xiao.

"Boom!"

The ground ahead was shattered inch by inch, and buildings on both sides collapsed one after another.

A terrifying pressure instantly tore apart an area around Bai Xiao.

"A giant elephant?"

"Unfortunately, it has the form but lacks the spirit!"

He clasped his hands together, silently watching the massive, black elephant charging towards him. His powerful body remained motionless, like an enlightened Buddha, sacred and compassionate.

"Let me teach you."

"What truly constitutes Ganesha's world-suppressing power!"

Bai Xiao's body was imposing and majestic. All 206 bones in his body transformed into shimmering flames that emanated from his form, instantly creating a halo of light. The magnificent golden light shone like the blazing sun. He opened his eyes, their white-gold gleaming intensely. Bai Xiao calmly took a step forward.

"Oh!"

Footsteps landed.

Yet it is like Ganesha, who guards the world, and forever seals the abyss of heaven.

The entire battlefield suddenly trembled, and the ground sank in unison.

"The True Scripture of the Dragon and Elephant!"

Bai Xiao unleashed a palm strike, and a phantom of a celestial being seemed to appear around him, stomping the ground and roaring to the sky. The terrifying roar of a giant elephant swept across the entire area.

"Boom boom boom!"

In mid-air, the glass elephant god gallops and raises its trunk!
It crashed straight into the dark, primordial image formed by the chains in the distance.

"Bang!!!"

Half of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School shook violently, dust flew everywhere, and ornamental trees tilted to the side. The ground trembled violently, spreading like ripples on water.

The air suddenly became a tangible entity, with white shockwaves sweeping across the entire battlefield. The airflow surged back, engulfing all dust and debris like a whirlwind, and even knocking down the outer high walls.

"despair."

under the moonlight.

A frail, elderly figure in bright red, who had rushed over, stopped outside.

He looked toward the martial arts school from which the loud noise was coming and stopped in his tracks.

The pupils contract slightly.

At this very moment, Shenying Quyu suddenly saw it.

Three magnificent and colossal phantoms of elephant gods simultaneously suppressed a gigantic black elephant radiating demonic energy, crushing and tearing it apart inch by inch. Below the numerous divine elephants, a giant golden figure was pressing down its arm with unwavering force.

A tall, black figure, completely bound in chains, was forcefully slammed into the earth. The terrifying sound of the impact was like a thunderous explosion.

It was as if she sensed Qu Yu's gaze.

The giant golden figure suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance outside the martial arts hall.

He kept applying force with his hands, making a cracking sound.

But a smile appeared on his ferocious face, which was covered in bulging veins.

"Old man, you want to give it a try too?!"
