Chapter 419: Chapter 279: Enjoying Punching the Air?
’Pay the price?’
Yang An’s mouth curved into a meaningful smile as he sized up the place.
It was dark all around. This darkness seemed to come from nowhere and lead to nowhere, boundless and infinite.
This place was like a single speck of dust in the vast ocean of the void—endless.
Qing Sha’s voice came from an unknown direction. He seemed to be everywhere, like the master of this domain.
The next moment, a swarm of dense, tadpole-like Buddhist Mantras appeared in Yang An’s vision, rapidly forming a world-spanning cage that sealed off everything around him.
WHOOSH!
Yang An activated his Light and Shadow Escape Technique, instantly moving a full two thousand meters through the deep, dark space. Yet, when he looked up, he was still within the blockade of Buddhist Mantras.
At the same time, four thick chains extended from the four corners of the cage formed by the Buddhist Mantras. They converged at the center, and an immense amount of flesh and blood was drawn from them, merging together to reveal Qing Sha’s full form.
Compared to before, he had grown taller, his face filled with a sinister aura. His entire body was covered in black Buddhist Mantras, and the four chains bound his hands and feet.
Here, his feet were free from the Stone Stele’s restraints, revealing his complete body.
"Do you feel it?"
He tugged lightly at the chains, which rattled with a CLATTER. A terrifying aura surged forth.
The chains seemed to bind him, but it was more as if they were completely suppressing his aura. Even so, they still couldn’t hold him back.
"What you faced before was merely a fraction of my power. This, now, is the real me!"
BANG!
The chains connecting to the ends of the cage snapped. Qing Sha was free, a smile on his face as he looked at Yang An.
Now that they were here, there was no escape for Yang An. He could not leave unless he killed Qing Sha.
But, kill him? Was that even possible?
The broken chains could no longer hold him. At that moment, Qing Sha’s aura reached its peak, making even this deep, dark space tremble.
A chain whipped toward Yang An like a sharp blade tearing through a black curtain, slicing everything in its path in two.
But just as the chain was about to land on Yang An, he once again used his Light and Shadow Escape Technique to easily dodge it.
"If I’m not mistaken, you only broke through to become a Zombie God with the help of this Joyful Shrine Association event. You haven’t fused with a Forbidden Artifact Fragment yet, have you?"
Qing Sha wasn’t the least bit annoyed that his attack had missed. It was as if he were just playing around.
"Although your Ultimate Skill, the Jade Kala Vajra Body, allowed you to be on par with my previous self—which is already quite strong for someone at the Early Stage of Zombie God—that’s as far as you go.
"This world has many wondrous methods. Whether it’s Cultivation Techniques, Techniques, or Body Refining Techniques, they are all just methods.
"But the Power of Rules is not a method. It is the strongest force, one that transcends all methods!"
As soon as Qing Sha finished speaking, he once again whipped a chain at Yang An. This time, however, the chain suddenly split into four as it flew, sealing Yang An in from all directions and leaving him no path of escape.
The chains instantly bound Yang An’s hands and feet, restraining him tightly and digging deep into his flesh.
Dust swirled over Yang An’s body, trying to quickly corrode the chains, but the corrosion was visibly slow. It was as if the chains were incomparably hard, impossible to affect in the slightest.
"I’ve heard that the Jade Kala Vajra Body is just a substitute for an ancient Old Technique. No one could withstand the backlash of light, so Dust was used as a replacement.
"If you think you can fight me with just the Jade Kala Vajra Body, you’re delusional!
"This is the Power of Rules! Not even a Forbidden Technique can stand against it. It’s just mere Dust. Besides that, what else do you have to fight me with?"
Seeing Yang An helpless in the chains’ grasp, Qing Sha’s face twisted into a scornful smile.
He gave a sudden tug, and the chains forcibly dragged Yang An toward him. Under the Power of Rules, Yang An’s struggles were utterly useless.
Qing Sha raised his hand, then cocked his fist. The moment Yang An was dragged before him, he could land a devastating blow.
"Though I’ve only fused with a Middle Grade Forbidden Artifact Fragment, it grants me the Power of Rules to split one into four. It will also let you experience the power of four combining into one.
"This punch... what will you use to block it?"
Qing Sha’s grin stretched from ear to ear. In his eyes, the moment he brought Yang An into this space within the stele, his fate was sealed.
’It’s just disappointing that such a strong opponent has become so pathetically weak after I’ve revealed my true power.’
The chains dragged Yang An right in front of Qing Sha. He threw a punch without hesitation, the black Buddhist Mantras all over his body pulsing as if they were about to surge out of him.
But facing this ferocious punch, Yang An showed no hint of panic. Instead, his face was a mask of impatience.
He felt a nauseating disgust, as if a swarm of flies had been stuffed into his ears.
This guy had been babbling nonstop from the very beginning.
"You really talk a lot of shit!"
BANG!
Yang An stuck out a hand and caught Qing Sha’s punch. The force that followed was indeed immense, more than ten times stronger than when he had fought Qing Sha before.
