Chapter 57

On the stage.

Tanggu faced the terrifying punch from "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo, and his heart was also greatly shaken.

In the previous battles, his consecutive victories made him think that the inner courtyard disciples were nothing special. However, facing this punch from "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo, he realized that there were no undeserving reputations.

The top three in the inner courtyard were on a completely different level from the other disciples.

The terrifying wind from the punch blew his hair backward, and Tanggu felt as if he was about to suffocate. The snake-like hisses in the thunder caused his soul to ache.

The other disciples were already in such a state, and he, being on the stage and directly in the line of fire, suffered even more.

"Bad, soul crystal, suppress!"

With a loud shout, a pale black, murky crystal in Tanggu's mind began to spin rapidly, and a powerful soul fluctuation suddenly emerged from his mind.

"Poof!"

All the snake-like hisses that were transmitted to his mind instantly dissipated. Tanggu's eyes brightened, but on the surface, he seemed to have lost his soul, completely devoid of energy, and could only take the beating.

"Retreat!"

Tanggu spun his body and retreated step by step. Seeing this, "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo sneered coldly.

"You are indeed trash. I really don't know how you managed to defeat Cousin Du and reach this point."

As he spoke, his aura surged, and his footsteps shook the stage with each step, making a loud clanging sound. He looked like a ferocious beast, charging at Tanggu with lightning and thunder surrounding his body.

Closer, even closer...

Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps...

Nine steps, eight steps, seven steps...

Seven steps away!

At this moment, Tanggu, who had been looking down as if he had lost his soul, suddenly raised his head again, his eyes calm and composed as always.

"Do you really think you can defeat me like this?"

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, no longer retreating. Instead, he charged forward, heading straight for "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo.

As he moved, the Dark Cloud Iron Sword on his back "zinged" and broke free from its sheath, transforming into a black sword beam that cut through the air with a whistling sound, rushing straight at "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo.

At such a close distance and such high speed, the two were like two trains colliding head-on, unstoppable!

In "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo's horrified eyes, the purple fist glowing with lightning and the Dark Cloud Iron Sword, which had turned into a dark black light and was rapidly expanding in his pupils, collided in mid-air.

With a deafening "boom," the entire stage shook. The defensive barrier set up by the green-robed elder on the periphery creaked and almost tore apart, but it managed to hold on after swaying.

On the stage, dust rose, and "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo's eyes were obscured by the dust. However, just before the fist and sword met, Tanggu's legs, which had been moving rapidly, suddenly bent flat.

In the next moment, he flattened himself like a piece of paper, sliding past the most terrifying impact of the collision, ending up behind "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo.

Tanggu's body folded like a piece of paper again, and without blinking, he delivered a powerful punch to "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo's back.

With a dull "thud," the unprepared "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo felt a violent shock in his back, and the impact almost sent him flying.

Caught between two attacks, he was thrown into the air with a "boom." His chest and back simultaneously made a "crack" sound as bones shattered, piercing his organs.

In the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning red from the impact.

Enduring the pain, a purple light flashed, and "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo appeared on the other side of the stage, far from the explosion's center. However, Tanggu did not chase after him, making his hasty retreat seem like a joke.

After a moment, the dust settled, and the stage became quiet again. "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo's face was twisted with rage as he looked at the shattered black fabric on his chest, his eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.

"Good, you have successfully angered me. I didn't expect you to be able to injure me... Today, not for the Du family, but for Fang Jingshuo, I swear to kill you!"

"Boom!"

His eyes moved, and "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo's body made a "crack" sound as his bones wriggled, producing a series of popping sounds. In the next moment, his body grew taller, and his aura continued to increase!

Originally, he was a top-tier figure at the mid-stage of the Qi Dao Fourth Level, but now he had directly broken through to the late stage of the Qi Dao Fourth Level!

"Bad, this is the forbidden secret technique, Thousand Bamboo Bone Explosion!"

Someone in the audience cried out in shock.

However, in contrast, seeing the chaos on the stage, which looked like the end of the world, and comparing it to the calm and composed Tanggu, as well as the "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo with his torn clothes and blackened face, everyone had mixed feelings, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

The situation was completely different from when he confidently declared that he would defeat Tanggu in ten moves and make him roll off the stage.

However, more people were worried about "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo's current state, especially "Ice Maiden" Li Youxue and "Blazing Sun Fist" Yan Shan, who were extremely concerned about Tanggu.

Unfortunately, even though they wanted to call him off the stage, the stage was completely sealed, and even they could not enter.

On the stage, the battle continued. The transformation in "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo's body lasted for a full minute before it finally stopped. His eyes were like those of a thunder god, and his body like that of a devil. He took large steps toward Tanggu, his eyes filled with lightning and thunder.

"It's you who forced me. I didn't want to use this move, but now... let me show you the secret technique of the Fang family—Nine Fire Thunder God Technique!"

With a loud shout, he raised his head to the sky and spread his arms. Instantly, his bones made a series of popping sounds.

Then, one by one, large, black, and terrifyingly purple lightning balls, each as big as a square, slowly emerged from his 108 acupoints, forming a long, ancient, and massive sword shape in the air!

"Nine Heavens Thunder God Sword—One Slash to Split the Mountains and Rivers!"

"Boom!"

"Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo took a step forward and swung his right arm. In the air, the massive purple sword composed of 108 black lightning balls slashed down.

The entire stage could no longer hold, making a terrible "crack" sound as it split in two, and sand and rocks rolled down!

The white light barrier on the side also flashed and turned into a cluster of pale white light points, disappearing into the air.

"Ah!"

At this moment, everyone, both on and off the stage, including the inner courtyard elder who was the referee, had their faces change dramatically.
