Chapter 666 - 620: Reaching the Peak 29 (4,000 words)
Seeing this middle-aged man, all the Evil Cultivators who had been fleeing from Tan Shuangshuang stopped and gathered around him, then as if finding a pillar to lean on, they pointed at Tan Shuangshuang with resentment and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle Master, this cultivator dared to storm into our lair, not only killing the Blood Ancestor but also many of our brothers. Uncle Master, you must kill her to avenge the Blood Ancestor and our brothers!"
The middle-aged man initially looked at the dead Evil Cultivators on the ground with an unchanged expression, appearing quite calm and cold-blooded.
But upon hearing that the Blood Ancestor had been killed, the middle-aged man’s expression suddenly changed. Gone was the previous gentle and refined aura, replaced by shock and anger with killing intent as he looked at Tan Shuangshuang. Clearly, this blood-colored worm known as the Blood Ancestor was extremely important to these Evil Cultivators!
The middle-aged man didn’t waste words, gazing sinisterly at Tan Shuangshuang and coldly snorted, filled with killing intent and resentment, "You dare to kill the Blood Ancestor! I will chop you into meat paste, extract your Divine Soul and torment it until it disintegrates, making you suffer for eternity!"
Tan Shuangshuang took a deep breath, unaffected by the middle-aged man’s words filled with venom and hatred. She raised her head, looking at him with icy cold features, her heart tense yet excited. This was the strongest enemy she had faced since her rebirth and the best opponent for her training. In her heart, the fighting spirit surged as she was eager to test herself against this foe who was a whole Great Realm higher than her.
The attack from the middle-aged man came quickly. It should be said that the middle-aged man did not take Tan Shuangshuang, a mere Warrior Level individual, seriously at all. As a martial master, crushing a Warrior Level enemy was far too easy! The middle-aged man even thought that Tan Shuangshuang wouldn’t be able to take a single blow from his attack.
Perhaps out of absolute confidence, the middle-aged man didn’t even use a weapon, charging barehanded. He struck with his palm directly towards Tan Shuangshuang’s heart position!
Tan Shuangshuang also focused fully on facing the enemy. As the middle-aged man’s attack approached, she took a deep breath and directly countered with the Overlapping Waves Fist against the incoming palm of the middle-aged man. At the moment their palm and fist met, the middle-aged man assumed he could immediately knock Tan Shuangshuang half-dead with this blow and then freely torture this audacious girl!
Unexpectedly, as their palm and fist met, the middle-aged man instantly felt a huge force transmitted from the opponent’s fist, and that force kept stacking and increasing!
The Overlapping Waves Fist evolved from the Thousand Layered Sword, with the biggest feature being that during an attack, each punch stacks upon the previous one, and with each stack, the opponent feels the force get heavier by a fold. Having spent two lifetimes honing the Thousand Layered Sword and Overlapping Waves Fist, Tan Shuangshuang was extremely proficient in this attack method.
Originally, Tan Shuangshuang was limited by her physical condition to only stack a few dozen times. Now, with a greatly improved physique, she could instantly stack her attack a few hundred times. So when the middle-aged man and Tan Shuangshuang clashed, her Overlapping Waves Fist attack instantly stacked dozens of times and continued stacking.
The moment the middle-aged man came into contact with Tan Shuangshuang, he was immediately stuck by her Overlapping Waves Fist, and within minutes, he felt the opponent’s attack power continuously increasing at an extreme speed, leaving him no time to evade.
As Tan Shuangshuang’s Overlapping Waves Fist increased to a hundredfold, the middle-aged man finally couldn’t help but let out a scream as he flew backward. When he barely managed to stand his ground, the entire arm he used to attack Tan Shuangshuang hung limply at his side.
In this exchange, all the bones in his arm were shattered by Tan Shuangshuang. The middle-aged man looked at Tan Shuangshuang with a frightened gaze. Where did this monster demon come from? She could actually challenge across levels!
Although level-crossing challenges have always been a common affair for absolute geniuses, that’s referring to surpassing small stages, and it’s not unheard of for a Warrior First Rank to challenge a Ninth Rank or a Half-step Martial Master, because after all, it’s still within one Great Realm.
Every time a cultivator advances to a Great Realm, the changes are enormous, from the toughness of the body to the capacity of meridians and the Spirit Mansion to hold Spiritual Power, even the density of Spiritual Power after entering the body differs.
This variation in difference is huge! It makes cross-level challenges not impossibly rare, but for someone to leap across a Great Realm, at least this middle-aged man, having traveled to so many places, had never heard of it!
