Chapter 252.1
At this moment, Lin Beifan notices something unusual on the battlefield through the Empire Sandbox.
Huh? There is a Grandmaster hidden in the mountains?
The person appears on a green mountain not far from where the Great Xia and the Great Pin Kingdom are waging war.
The man has a resolute face, slightly gray hair, eyes like lightning, and is dressed in tight black clothes.
He stands firmly on a pine tree on the green mountain, gently swaying with the wind and watching the distant battlefield from a moderate distance.
This is Dugu Yifang, a Grandmaster from the Great Hong Dynasty. What is he doing here? Lin Beifan recognizes the man and narrows his eyes.
The Great Hong Dynasty is a large dynasty to the south of the Hengduan Mountain Range, with a territory of over 4 million square li, a total population of over 30 million people, a military force of over 4 million, more than 30 Innates, and a Grandmaster in its helm.
The distance is not far away. If Great Xia continues to expand southward, they will encounter the Great Hong Dynasty after another 500 li.
As the Grandmaster of the Great Hong Dynasty, secretly appearing here makes it hard not to stir up speculation.
Lin Beifan quietly watches Dugu Yifang.
Dugu Yifang, in turn, quietly watches the distant battlefield, with his gaze mainly focused on the Innates of Great Xia.
After a long time, he sighs: I really do not wish to bully the weak, but your Emperor is too ambitious, relentlessly marching southward! For the sake of Great Hong, I had no choice but to make a move in the shadows!
His target is the Innate masters of Great Xia.
They will soon reach his nation because Great Xia is ambitious and relentlessly moving southward.
The Great Xia Empire is strong and well-armed, and the Great Hong is no match for them.
Therefore, he must strike first to protect his own country.
Thats why Great Hong Emperor requested his intervention, asking that he eliminate all the Innates and generals of Great Xia, ensuring the army would be doomed to defeat.
Although he was reluctant to bully the weak, he had no choice for the sake of his own nation.
After mentally preparing himself, he pulled out a black silk scarf and covered his face with it, even hiding his hair, leaving only his eyes visible.
In this way, no one could recognize him, nor would they associate the deed with Great Hong.
Even if they were suspicious, they had no evidence and thus no means to act.
Dont blame me for being ruthless! Dugu Yifang muttered to himself before preparing to use his movement skills to strike the battlefield.
But just then, he sensed a fatal danger.
Looking up, he saw a giant palm bathed in Buddhas light appearing in the sky!
The palm was terrifyingly huge, covering an area within a radius of three hundred zhang!
To put it into perspective, even with all his might, his palm strike could only cover an area within a radius of one hundred zhang. The difference was more than threefold.
It means it was at least nine times greater, nearly a tenfold difference!
(TLN: Probably nine times because using an area of a circle. r2, 100 zhang radius=10000 (pi) 300 zhang=90000)
Moreover, this giant palm arrived so suddenly and swiftly!
It was almost without any buildup that it was unleashed, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, the opponents strength must far surpass his own.
Without time to think further, Dugu Yifang immediately exerted all his strength and his ultimate skill to confront this palm.
Ten Thousand Waves Sky-Shocking Palm!
Dugu Yifang let out a low shout and instantly unleashed a continuous series of palm shadows.
This was the palm technique he was most proud of!
The technique was extremely profound; each palms power was not particularly strong, but the force of the technique was cumulative, like waves, one after another, each palm adding to the last, gradually increasing in strength.
After stacking thirty palms, the power was comparable to a full-force strike from a Grandmaster.
After stacking one hundred palms, the power was enough to severely injure a Grandmaster.
The technique could be stacked indefinitely in principle, but it required time.
The more time he had, the stronger the technique became.
On his most impressive occasion, he had unleashed three hundred consecutive palms, shattering a small mountain with a circumference of five hundred zhang.
He believed that even a Great Grandmaster would be injured, if not killed, under this technique.
At this moment, he had used all his strength to instantly release one hundred palms, followed by another hundred!
Two hundred palms were the limit of his body, comparable to a peak Grandmasters full strike!
If he had time to recover his strength, he could unleash several hundred more palms, but the giant palm above did not afford him that time.
So, he bit into a pill hidden between his teeth, quickly regaining his strength, and released another two hundred palms!
This was the limit of his power, the strongest strike of his lifetime!
However, these four hundred stacked palms of the Ten Thousand Waves Sky-Shocking Palm only managed to stall the descending giant palm for a moment before it continued to press down on him with undiminished force.
Dugu Yifang felt a chill down his spine!
His strongest strike, fueled by all his strength and enhanced by the pill, had only managed to pause the opponents move for a moment!
The palm was too terrifying, and the person behind it was too fearsome!
A dreadful thought surged in his mindcould the person behind this be
a Great Grandmaster?
What merit or ability does he have to provoke a Great Grandmaster?
Is he asking for a death wish?
As the palm strike was about to land, Dugu Yifang instantly ignited his life force and, with the speed of lightning, made a swift escape.
But the giant palm still came crashing down.
Dugu Yifangs face showed utter despair: Noo!!!
Boom!
The entire mountain collapsed!
The ground trembled, and the massive disturbance spread in all directions!
The soldiers of the two warring nations panicked!
Whats happening?
Why is the ground moving? Is the earth dragon turning over?
And that huge noise, where is it coming from? Whats going on?
No one could explain it clearly.
Only the Innate masters present, as if by some unspoken agreement, looked towards a tall mountain 30 li away.
That mountain seemed to collapse like an avalanche.
Thats Gusong Mountain, why did it suddenly collapse?
The mountain body of Gusong Mountain has always been solid, how could it have a landslide?
Is there some kind of unexpected event?
The experts from both nations exchanged glances, sensing that this was no ordinary event, and unanimously ceased fighting to investigate.
In less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, they arrived at Gusong Mountain and were stunned by the scene before them.
Beneath their feet was a gigantic pit, 300 zhang wide, and it even bore the shape of a five-fingered palm print.
The stones inside the pit had all been pulverized into dust, still emitting heat.
Which powerful being struck down this palm here?
Scary as hell!!!
The news of this event spread rapidly throughout the world!
Have you heard? A mysterious powerful being struck down a palm at Gusong Mountain in the Great Ze Kingdom!
That palm was too terrifying, 300 zhang wide and 20 zhang deep, it blew up the entire mountain!
Hisss! Is there really such a terrifying palm technique? Is there really such a terrifying person? Its said that a normal Grandmaster can only produce a palm technique with a radius of a hundred zhang, and only those with exceptional talent and profound strength could possibly reach 200 zhang!
I find it hard to believe too, but the rumors are so detailed. Why not go and see for ourselves?
Thats true, lets go!
Many powerful beings went there out of curiosity.
