Chapter 524: Chapter 174: The Arrogant and Domineering Ruffians! The Astonished Citizens of the Imperial City! (10,000-Word Mega Chapter, Subscription Request)_6
Boom!
When the longsword broke, the Fu Clan cultivator was stunned for a moment. During that moment, Fan Wu had already turned around and swung a punch at him.
Bang!
The punch did not send the cultivator flying.
Instead, it exploded him! Literally exploded him!
Fan Wu swung another punch.
This punch was thrown through the air, exploding a large section of the air in front of him, causing a deafening explosion and a surge of airflow, more terrifying than divine weapons.
The Fu Clan cultivators closest to Fan Wu were directly killed by the shockwave, and those further away were swept off their feet by the overwhelming currents.
Just a punch in the air created a gap in the so-called encirclement.
"Fiend! Stop your rampaging!!" An elderly Fu Clan elder with white hair took this opportunity to wield his magic artifact.
It was a large bell!
Golden inscriptions spiraled around the bell, and under the control of the white-haired elder, it charged ferociously towards where Fan Wu stood.
Fan Wu didn’t dodge the oncoming bell; in fact, he did not even avoid other opportunistic attacks.
He let every attack land on him.
With a grim smile, Fan Wu punched towards the bell that was barreling towards him!
Thump—!!!
Crack!
The melodious bell sound hadn’t lasted longer than a breath before it was replaced by a heartbreaking shattering noise. Under the incredulous gaze of the elder, the magic artifact bell crumbled into thousands of pieces from Fan Wu’s punch, with shards flying in all directions.
"Hss aaaaah!!!" Some unfortunate Fu Clan cultivators screamed miserably as they were hit by the flying debris.
Fan Wu casually grabbed a shard.
He threw it at the white-haired elder who was hiding in the crowd.
"Third Elder, be careful!!" A loyal Fu Clan cultivator wanted to use his life to shield the elder from the attack.
But when the shard of the magic artifact struck the loyal cultivator, it effortlessly pierced through his body.
The shard’s momentum was unabated, hitting the white-haired elder squarely, burying deep into his abdomen!
Blood splattered!
Fan Wu suddenly stretched out his arms, stomped fiercely on the ground, and lunged forward like a wild beast.
Whenever his arms collided with a person,
Their bodies were smashed to bits!
This barbaric charge with no technique whatsoever shattered more than a dozen Fu Clan cultivators. Another dozen or so were grazed by Fan Wu’s charge, resulting in arms shattering or legs suddenly being smashed.
The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan who had struggled to rise from the ground, suddenly thought he heard something.
He quickly turned his head, only to discover a terrifying figure standing right in front of him.
This figure was drenched in fresh blood, enveloped in a nauseating stench of gore, appearing like a ghastly demon that had crawled out of the Netherworld.
"No..." When he saw a fist swinging towards him, the Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan only managed to utter one word.
Bang!
His face, filled with terror, disintegrated into pieces, and his head was blown apart by Fan Wu’s punch.
Fan Wu suddenly slammed his fists into the ground beneath his feet.
The expensive flagstone instantly shattered under his fists, his arms plunging into the soil.
His fingers clutched tightly at the earth below.
His arm muscles bulged!
Some Fu Clan cultivators trying to rush Fan Wu felt the earth trembling beneath them, causing many to become unsteady on their feet.
"What’s going on?" A Fu Clan cultivator swallowed hard, watching the hellish, bloody scene before him, feeling the ground under his feet quivering slightly.
His heart sank with foreboding.
Then, suddenly.
A scene that no one would ever forget unveiled—Fan Wu, who was half-squatting with his fists buried in the soil, began to slowly stand up. As he steadily rose, the trembling of the earth intensified and even began to crack open with exaggerated fissures.
"The ground! He’s lifting the ground!!!" a Fu Clan cultivator screamed in horror, his eyes nearly splitting open.
Fan Wu forcefully flipped the ground right beneath his feet!
With a heave, he tossed the upturned earth skywards!
Like a giant wave rolling in the ocean, the massive patch of soil soared towards the Fu Clan cultivators confronting him, looming to envelop them!
"Run...run for it!!"
This terrifying, world-altering spectacle left no room for thoughts of resistance. After all, it was a layer of earth of unknown thickness hurtling toward them.
If they were to be covered by the lifted ground, their bodies would likely be crushed into a pulp!
Bang!!!
After the large piece of earth Fan Wu had lifted crashed down, the Fu Clan’s residence in the Imperial City, along with nearby areas, trembled continuously.
No fewer than a hundred Fu Clan cultivators failed to escape in time and were directly crushed beneath the massive sheet of earth.
In the moment they were buried, it felt as if ten thousand elephants were stampeding over them.
The pressure caused blood to spurt from all their orifices.
Their bones shattered to pieces!
In the blink of an eye, they were dead.
...
"What...what happened?" the citizens near the Fu Clan’s patriarchal residence in the Imperial City were frightened and puzzled as they looked towards the direction of the Fu Clan.
All they could see was a cloud of dust rising high from the Fu Clan’s estate.
Amidst it, there were faint screams and cries for help—and even more distinctly, many terrified voices.
"The Fu Clan... what’s happening to them? Something major must have occurred inside, right? It feels like...like they’re fighting!"
"Could it be...someone is causing trouble inside the Fu Clan residence?"
"Who knows! It’s best to keep our distance and avoid getting involved with these Great Clans. Any single one of these Great Clans in the Imperial City could wipe out our families with just a breath!"
"If someone indeed is causing a disturbance within the Fu Clan, surely they will be suppressed by the Fu Clan’s forces soon, right?"
"After all, that’s the Fu Clan of the Imperial City!"
"..."
As the citizens of the Imperial City discussed with trepidation, they suddenly caught a glimpse of something flying outwards.
Thud!
The object that flew out landed on the street, and its vivid crimson blood spread out on the ground like a large red plum blossom.
It was only then that the citizens noticed...
This was actually a corpse!
"Is this...the body of someone who was trying to intrude into the Fu Clan, someone who wanted to trouble the Fu Clan?" a city resident gulped nervously, the air thick with the stench of blood, striking fear into everyone’s heart.
"This...this..." in the crowd, a merchant dressed person stared at the face of the corpse, dumbstruck!
The sheer shock inside him made him blurt out, "This person is one of the Fu Clan’s Elders! This...this is the body of a Fu Clan Elder!!!"
As these words were uttered.
The street erupted into chaos!
