Chapter 403: Beaten into Nothingness

Chi Menshen left this world peacefully.

...

If he were given another chance, he would have never chosen to fly eastward.

No. He would not have come here today.

He wielded the legendary weapon from the Ocean Tempest Hall and sent a blood fog spreading, causing the experts from the Divine Nine and Terrestrial Ten to hesitate in action.

He then moved to the public square and was attacked by three to four seventh-realm experts.

Even as he activated the glowering Blood Vajra Warrior and fought fiercely in all directions, he remained unharmed.

Ji Lingjue shouted at him to leave, then transformed into a golden light and instantly fled westward. He used the immortal art Golden Path.

Ji Lingjue's cultivation power was already stronger than most of the seventh-realm Eminent Ones present, so when he was determined to leave, no one could stop him.

Chi Menshen's cultivation power was not weak either, and he did not linger in battle but obediently followed Ji Lingjue's command.

He immediately shouted, "Back off!"

Boom!

As he formed hand seals, the towering Blood Vajra Warrior statue exuding flames of qi exploded with a loud bang!

After the explosion, a sudden burst of blood-red light spread out. His divine blood was extremely poisonous and anyone whose cultivation level was not high enough to fight back the toxins would instantly dissolve into pus upon contact!

If this explosion were to spread, at least half of those present would die!

This was exactly the effect that Chi Menshen was trying to achieve.

He didn’t care about the number of people that might die. His only regret was not killing more!

Immediately, the Eminent Ones attacking him were intimidated. In an attempt to save the others, they all worked together and tried to stop the blood light from spreading.

But this also meant that no one was going to stop Chi Menshen from escaping.

Although he could not perform the Golden Path, he mastered a powerful Buddhist technique, Heavenly Traversing Foot, which was another top-tier divine technique.

Escaping to another direction after the misdeeds was a basic survival principle in the martial world.

Since Ji Lingjue fled westward, he took large strides to flee eastward, stepping up to the heavens! If he took a second step, he would disappear from everyone's sight and escape without a trace.

But at that moment, a blazing apparition of a divine phoenix rushed toward him from the east!

Chi Menshen instinctively thought this was someone coming to stop him. Immediately, he shouted, "Get lost!"

He swung a punch at it!

The Eminent One within the divine phoenix apparition seemed surprised. However, upon sensing Chi Menshen's diabolical qi and noticing that he not only refused to give way but also attempted to throw a punch, the Eminent One in the form of the divine phoenix saw no reason to be afraid.

So, they responded with a punch of their own!

Boom—

In his desperation to escape, Chi Menshen poured all his strength into his punch, channeling sixty years of combined cultivation from both his Buddhist and Celestial Charm Sect practices.

His right arm turned entirely blood-red, like some kind of translucent jade. He was confident that this punch could pierce through any living being in the world! The true power wasn't in the force, but in the divine blood power infused into his fist.

But...

For the first time in his life, he lost in a clash of fists.

And he lost completely.

The divine phoenix apparition raised its right claw, clenched it into a fist, and met his blow, like thunder striking the earth!

But the usual scene of bodies melting from his punch didn't occur; instead, the blood-red color on his arm evaporated wildly, leaving it completely clean in an instant. The flames surrounding his opponent's arm were similarly eroded by his divine blood.

Then it came down to a direct clash of fists.

At this moment, Chi Menshen had only one thought... was his opponent a celestial beast in human form?

In his simple understanding, no human could possess such strength.

Absolutely impossible!

Boom—

After the muffled sound of fists colliding, there was an immediate rumble as Chi Menshen was smashed into the ground, sent flying back to where he came from!

The ground of the public square cracked, and the earth groaned as the people below scattered in panic like birds and beasts.

They were fortunate. Those below the seventh realm who felt the residual force of this punch would likely have died on the spot.

The divine phoenix apparition then descended above the square and immediately saw Chu Liang standing atop the Inferno Dragon.

Chu Liang shouted in surprise and joy, "Esteemed teacher!"

The figure within the divine phoenix was, of course, Di Nufeng!

She had been chasing the Heaven-Devouring Python all the way here; although she had just caught up, it took some effort to fly from the python's tail to its head.

When Di Nufeng saw her disciple, she immediately smiled, about to speak. But before she could say anything, Chu Liang shouted, "That man is a member of the Celestial Charm Sect, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt using the Heaven-Devouring Python. Don't let him escape!"

"Hmm?" Di Nufeng frowned.

Chi Menshen, who had just been smashed into the ground by her, had regained consciousness. At that moment, he was seen attempting to flip and escape once more.

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Di Nufeng's face.

No wonder you survived my punch—turns out you are an evil member of the Celestial Charm Sect...

So you were the ones trying to harm my disciple?

If Chi Menshen knew what she was thinking, he would probably have knelt down and begged for mercy, loudly explaining that it wasn't intentional, pleading with Di Nufeng to spare his life...

He would have explained that the Heaven-Devouring Python wasn't even his pet and that the actual owner of the Heaven-Devouring Python had already escaped. He would have even offered to lead her to the owner of the Heaven-Devouring Python.

But it was too late for all that.

In the next instant, Di Nufeng had already turned into a fireball and smashed down!

Boom—

Chi Menshen had just managed to get half of his body out when he was suddenly stomped down again. Di Nufeng's foot came crashing down on his chest, driving him one zhang into the ground and creating a large pit around him!

When had this notorious figure ever been trampled like this?

The land of Giant Whale Mountain Manor had never been specially reinforced and simply could not withstand the full power of Di Nufeng's stomp.

But this was just the beginning.

Next, Di Nufeng bent over slightly. As she swung her fists, the flames around her body soared up another zhang high!

She rained punch after punch down on him!

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump—

With each punch, she hit harder, deeper, faster, and with growing enthusiasm. Gradually, her figure disappeared from view, leaving only the surging flames visible. The pit grew deeper and wider.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump—

This flurry of punches lasted for who knows how long and what felt like a moment seemed to stretch into ten years. The chaotic scene that even the repeated shouts of the Whale Gang elders couldn't bring order to suddenly fell quiet.

Everyone—whether standing, flying, or sitting—watched in stunned silence as Di Nufeng relentlessly punched and smashed Chi Menshen like a maniac.

With every punch that landed, everyone's pupils would dilate, and their eyebrows would twitch involuntarily.

The more timid ones were on the verge of tears, though they couldn't explain why; they just wanted to go home and be held by their mothers.

This was just too terrifying...

Even Chu Liang was dumbfounded, his eyelids twitching in fear. He really wanted to say... Esteemed teacher, that's enough... If you keep digging down, you'll reach the petroleum deposit.

But he didn't dare say it out loud.

Who would dare stop a rampaging Di Nufeng?

Considering how fierce she was, even an eighth-realm expert at the Heavenly Origin Realm would likely have to think twice before fighting her.

After what felt like an eternity—maybe fifteen minutes or maybe half a lifetime—the rumbling underground finally stopped. Di Nufeng then leaped back up with a satisfied expression on her face.

In all these years, Chu Liang had rarely seen his teacher so happy.

She really was a violent maniac!

Can beating someone really bring that much joy?

Everyone present who knew her thought the same thing: thank goodness for Mount Shu's education. If she'd ended up in the martial world, she'd have been a top-level wanted criminal for sure.

Whether they were from the diabolical sect or the Celestial Charm Sect, everyone would respectfully call her "Big Sis" upon seeing her.

When Di Nufeng finally approached him, Chu Liang managed force a weak smile and asked, "Esteemed teacher, are you done?"

Di Nufeng calmly waved her hand and said, "He’s been beaten into nothingness."

...

As the dust settled and the smoke cleared, no one dared to make a sound or move. All eyes were on Di Nufeng. It was clear to everyone: the only thing that can stop violence is even greater violence.

Hearing about it is one thing, but witnessing it firsthand is another.

Most of those present hadn't lived through the era when the immortal realm was in turmoil because of Di Nufeng, so they had only heard stories of a crazy woman from Mount Shu who was a fierce figure back then.

But they had no idea just how fierce she really was.

As for those who had lived through that era, the memories came rushing back all at once. Even the seventh-realm Eminent Ones trembled with fear.

After all, Chi Menshen had been able to resist the combined attack of at least four Eminent Ones.

How many opponents as powerful as Chi Menshen could Di Nufeng fight? That was unclear, but how long he could endure her relentless attacks in a one-on-one fight depended entirely on how sturdy he was.

They vaguely recalled that...Di Nufeng was strong, but they didn't remember her being this powerful.

Could it be that she had achieved a breakthrough after being in closed-door cultivation at Mount Shu for decades?

Could she have already approached the eighth realm?

She was able to beat a powerful Eminent One from the Celestial Charm Sect into nothingness... quite literally. With the repeated tempering of Samadhi True Fire and her relentless punches, his flesh became so fragile that it disintegrated.

Under the silent gaze of the entire crowd, Di Nufeng naturally stepped onto the head of the Inferno Dragon beside Chu Liang.

The previously ferocious Inferno Dragon, which no one dared to provoke, allowed her to step on it without any resistance.

Humans were not the only ones who feared her.

Between the teacher and disciple, the disciple had ridden the Inferno Dragon out from the mouth of the Heaven-Devouring Python in a grand and imposing manner, while the teacher descended from the sky, single-handedly killing Chi Menshen with a burning, murderous aura.

As they stood together, their presence radiated an aura that sent shudders of fear through everyone around them.

Di Nufeng turned around and finally noticed that no one was speaking; all eyes were on her. She frowned in confusion and said, "Why are you all staring at me? Go do what you're supposed to do."

It was was though these insects wouldn’t dare to chirp even if spring arrived, unless she had made a sound first.

"Yes, yes..." The crowd hastily turned their heads and started moving.

Whether they had something to do or not, they just started moving.

Once everyone realized their roles and positions, they began cleaning up the mess.

Surprisingly, the first to move was Jiang Shenting, who had lost an arm. Regenerating a severed limb wasn’t difficult for a sixth-realm cultivator, and for a seventh-realm Eminent, it was even less of an issue as long as the divine technique’s attack didn’t cause any additional erosion.

So, instead of tending to his wounds, he hurried over to Xu Bashan, while he himself was covered in blood, and said heavily, "Chief! You’re finally back! The brothers and I were so worried sick about you!"
