A thunderous boom.
Luo Xiu and the Bandaged Man collided their fists, and instantly triggered a land-cracking mountain-collapsing effect!
On the worn-out plaza, Lin Xiyue, who was repairing the array with spirit stones, was dumbfounded at the sight.
"Is this... the battle of a Venerable One?"
Even though she was inside the barrier, she could feel the ground trembling intensely.
The terrifying power in the air made her find it difficult to breathe.
She gritted her teeth abruptly, no longer watching the battle on Luo Xiu's side, and began to concentrate on repairing the array.
...
At this moment.
Luo Xiu and the Bandaged Man both stood in a crossed stance, unmoving.
Between their fists, the booming sounds reverberated through the sky dome, and the boundless earth seemed torn apart like a ripped pancake.
As the ground leapt, dense forests flipped and sank, strange peaks and mountains fell into abyssal crevices...
But at this moment, Luo Xiu seemed to have stepped into a no-man's land, his eyes staring straight at the Bandaged Man, wholly focused, punching at his fastest speed!
Because of his extreme speed, he appeared to be immobilized, in a stationary crossed stance, with only lightning frantically surging ahead driven by the wind of his fists!
After using the "Nine Suns Creation Technique" to absorb the spiritual medicine of the entire Luo Star, and recuperating for two days, Luo Xiu was now in peak condition!
However.
Even at peak condition, in the face of this immensely strong, seemingly never-fatigued "Living Bone Body," Luo Xiu was merely holding his ground.
In a matter of breaths, Luo Xiu had delivered eighty-nine thousand punches!
The cracks spreading like a spiderweb over a thousand miles of the boundless earth were shocking. Under the vibration of enormous power, the cracks were now tens of thousands of meters deep, nearly reaching the Star Core!
As time briefly passed, Luo Xiu's mood grew heavier.
In the brief exchange of fists with the Bandaged Man, he was shocked to discover that every inch of the Bandaged Man's flesh seemed to contain profound truths.
From being overwhelmed by Luo Xiu's thunderous punches at first, the Bandaged Man gradually became evenly matched, and now was completely at ease!
The Bandaged Man was not only mimicking Luo Xiu's combat moves, but even matching Luo Xiu's speed!
Luo Xiu knew continuing like this would be futile. Facing the unwearied Bandaged Man, a swift victory was the only strategy!
He suddenly pulled back his fists and retreated, spreading his wings to fly to the sky.
The Bandaged Man leaped fiercely, pursuing closely, like maggots on the bone!
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Luo Xiu suddenly swooped down, kicking directly at the Bandaged Man's head.
"Get down!"
A loud bang.
Pushed by the immense force, the Bandaged Man shot toward the ground like a falling meteor, but before landing, he suddenly slapped the Void with one hand, unleashing a terrifying explosion, leveraging himself to bounce back up, and immediately adjusted his stance in the Void, running toward Luo Xiu.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu's heart was shocked.
Walking on water, or leaving no trace on snow, anyone could do that, but running leveraging the air required incredibly terrifying physical strength!
Even though Luo Xiu had refined himself to honor, he couldn't walk on air with just his physical body.
In an instant, the Bandaged Man ran to Luo Xiu, raising his hand for a clean punch!
Luo Xiu's expression remained unchanged, his gaze sharp, suddenly bursting with wild energy, his black hair growing rapidly, as he instantly entered Grim Reaper Form.
"Great Fate Without Calamity!"
Suddenly, Luo Xiu's aura doubled.
With only his bursting aura, he sent the Bandaged Man flying.
During those two days of recuperation, Luo Xiu had memorized the Ma Family Secret Method "Great Fate Without Calamity" given by Ma Yanran and comprehended it.
"Time is short, must resolve this swiftly."
Luo Xiu endured the tumbling blood within him, looking down at his trembling hands, suddenly spreading his wings as if teleporting behind the Bandaged Man, delivering a whip-leg kick to send him flying.
At this moment, Luo Xiu could clearly feel his power had doubled.
He had absolute confidence, even if facing a Heavenly Emperor now, in a direct fight, he wouldn't be defeated!
This Ma Family Secret Method was truly a masterpiece!
But in the world, everything comes at a price.
Luo Xiu gained great power through this secret method, but the price he had to pay was burning his life.
Burning life is naturally different from burning essence blood.
Burning essence blood can be deadly, but as long as it's controlled so the essence blood isn't exhausted, it can be restored with nurturing afterward.
But once life is burned, it's truly burned.
...
The Bandaged Man flew straight back, like a meteor crossing the night sky.
He flew hundreds of miles and finally crashed into the sea.
Luo Xiu spread his wings and followed closely, stepping onto the shore, suddenly punching forward.
"Luo Tian Yu Xuan."
"Five Styles."
"Suppressing the Wilderness!"
A line of punches straightly extended a thousand miles, splitting the rolling ocean waves into two with the groove created by the punch wind, revealing the seabed several thousand meters deep, like a parted hairstyle.
At this moment.
Under the sea.
The Bandaged Man lay on the rocks. Under the terrifying pressure of the punches, he was unable to move at all.
On the coast.
Luo Xiu breathed slowly, his mouth and nose spewing hot air, like flames released from a furnace.
After using "Suppressing the Wilderness" to create punch pressure and lock down the Bandaged Man, Luo Xiu's eyes flashed coldly, and three thousand thunderclaps exploded over the ocean, revealing three thousand spatial rifts.
Three thousand Luo Xius appeared simultaneously, then simultaneously unleashed three thousand Heavenly Vermilion Sword of Ten Thousand Prisons!
Holy Blasphemy combined with Three Thousand Green Lotus Petals was a strategy he frequently used without failure.
Flame Giant Swords rained down frantically from his hands toward the depths of the ocean!
As the three thousand Flame Giant Swords descended, he suddenly withdrew the punch pressure, causing the split ocean to merge violently, delivering another terrifying hit to the Bandaged Man!
"Even a Heavenly Emperor couldn't handle this move."
On the shore, Luo Xiu's body swayed weakly, half-kneeling on the ground, terminating "Great Fate Without Calamity."
If burned for too long, if the Bandaged Man wasn't taken down, he himself would succumb to the flames.
"Boomββ!"
An earth-shattering explosion suddenly rang out.
In the distance, the sea surface suddenly erupted with a thousand-fathom tsunami!
Luo Xiu immediately flew to the sky to avoid the tsunami, calmly watching the awe-inspiring scene.
Beneath the rolling ocean waves, it was now entirely red, as if the entire ocean was burning.
Using Divine Sense, Luo Xiu sensed that the continental plates at the seabed were fracturing and breaking apart, scattering wide.
Deeper underground, ancient lava gushed out.
Billowing dust broke through the ocean surface, steam rushing into the sky dome, forming an overcast sky full of thunder, resembling an apocalyptic scene.
Luo Xiu's eyes sharp, suddenly invigorated, urgently flying in the direction of Lin Xiyue.
Just moments ago, his Divine Sense detected the Bandaged Man going through the cracks deep in the ground to Lin Xiyue's side!
...
At this moment.
Lin Xiyue was repairing the Teleportation Array attentively.
All the earth-shaking commotion seemed unable to affect her.
Suddenly, a silhouette flew out from a crack outside the plaza, and directly punched toward the Teleportation Plaza.
Lin Xiyue's eyes widened, her heart momentarily filled with despair.
With the Bandaged Man's power, this punch would surely turn her and the entire Teleportation Plaza to ashes.
"Boomββ!"
However, to Lin Xiyue's surprise, the Glazed Thunder Barrier previously set by Luo Xiu firmly took the Bandaged Man's punch.
But she also became uneasy.
Because cracks appeared on the barrier.
"Boom!"
The Bandaged Man punched again.
The barrier trembled greatly, a large hole opened.
The Bandaged Man entered the barrier through the large hole, stepping onto the Teleportation Plaza, striding swiftly toward Lin Xiyue.
