Chapter 527: Chapter 264: This is the Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger! (12th Update, Asking for Monthly Votes)

In the wilderness, two figures stood opposite each other. Within Wang Mubai’s clearly defined black and white eyes, a sinister crimson color emerged, giving off an evil and eerie feeling. At the center of his brow, flesh wriggled as if something was growing out bit by bit.

On the other side, Shen Changqing’s eyes gradually became covered in purple. In an instant, thunderclaps appeared out of nowhere. Within the purple pupils, astonishing lightning bolts burst forth, directly striking at the person in front of him. At the same time, a vertical eye emerged from the center of Wang Mubai’s brow, spewing out a beam of cyan light that collided with the lightning. In a flash, a shocking disturbance spread across the wilderness plain, accompanied by blinding light. The surrounding darkness was instantly dispelled.

Shen Changqing took a step forward, his aura bursting forth, dispelling all fluctuations around him as his finger came down in a pressing motion. Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger! In facing a top-tier Great Demon, he held nothing back. From the moment he struck, it was his most powerful method.

Upon seeing that finger, Wang Mubai’s face underwent a great change. "Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger! You did not obtain the heritage of this world!" After the appearance of the Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger, he knew that everything had completely escaped his control. But Wang Mubai quickly steadied his mind and revealed his true Demon Evil body, thrusting a palm wrapped in endlessly cold power straight forward.

The two forces collided, causing the void to explode in an instant. The silent disturbance spread, space twisted violently, and ultimately, under Tan Tianji’s shocked gaze, everything crumbled away.

One finger attack went without effect. Shen Changqing did not stop his assault, taking a step as he employed the Shrinking Earth into Inches Divine Skill, vanishing from his original position. In the next moment, he appeared behind his opponent and struck out with a punch. Wang Mubai, already aware, turned around to strike back with a punch of his own. The two fists met, and terrifying power erupted. Shen Changqing’s Flesh shook slightly from the impact, and he took a step back.

As for Wang Mubai, the Scale Armor on his fist had shattered. Before the blood could flow from the wound, the broken Scale Armor had already fully recovered. Despite this, the shock on his face intensified. The formidability of Shen Changqing’s Flesh was such that even he was somewhat inferior. He knew that the Demon Evil Clan possessed a great advantage over the Human Clan in terms of Flesh. But from that one strike just now, Wang Mubai discovered that he was inferior to the other party in terms of Flesh.

The longer the battle went on, the greater the shock in his heart became. Originally, when coming to South Nether Prefecture, he was just testing the strength of the South Nether Prefecture Defender Envoy. In reality, he had not been very concerned. But now that they were truly engaged in battle, Wang Mubai realized the Defender Envoy’s strength was formidable, barely any weaker than his own. If one were to speak of the level of Flesh, Shen Changqing might even be stronger.

BOOM—

Another Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger was shot out; the power of Heaven and Earth descended, carrying a vast aura of destruction. Wang Mubai did not hold anything back; his vertical eye emitted intense cyan light, colliding with the Finger Gang. In an instant, the cyan light shattered. He took a step back, his Yin Evil Aura forming a terrifying Demon God phantom. When he struck out with a punch, the force overlapped with that of the Demon God phantom, displaying an earth-shattering power. Ultimately, both forces annihilated each other.

One move without result. Shen Changqing stepped forward, closing the distance once more, using the advantage of his Flesh to battle his foe. Wang Mubai, attacked successively, became irritated. Even though he was aware of his inferiority in terms of Flesh, he no longer wished to defend passively; instead, he let go of his defense to directly contend with the opponent using his Flesh.

BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM!

In the wilderness plain, two terrifying bodies collided fiercely. Each strike held the power to destroy mountains and sever rivers. The vast wilderness was engulfed by the ravaging force of destruction.

From a great distance, Tan Tianji watched the battle between the two, his eyes filled with amazement. Whether it was Wang Mubai or Shen Changqing, the power they displayed was shocking to him. It could be said that having followed Wang Mubai for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen him display such power. The extent of this being’s peak strength had always been beyond Tan Tianji’s experience. Now, his eyes were thoroughly opened. However, what shocked him even more was that Shen Changqing didn’t fall behind in the slightest against Wang Mubai. It was just a pity that the speed of their battle was too fast. Even with Tan Tianji’s strength, he couldn’t see clearly, only able to judge by vague senses that the two were evenly matched.

RUMBLE!!

Terrifying ripples spread. At the center of the battle, Wang Mubai now looked somewhat pathetic. Most of the Scale Armor on his body was shattered and broken, and even his terrifying self-healing abilities as a Great Demon couldn’t fully recover such wounds. In some places, the flesh was a bloody blur, the injuries severe. By comparison, Shen Changqing didn’t fare much better, his Flesh also torn, but protected by the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang, his wounds were not as severe. Not only that, but every one of Wang Mubai’s attacks was met with a rebound from the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang, worsening his injuries. In Wang Mubai’s view, Shen Changqing, possessed of the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang, was like a hedgehog covered in spikes – unless one could break through the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang with absolute power, punching out would still result in some backlash.

After a long period of this standoff, Wang Mubai also gradually came to his senses. He knew that the possibility of suppressing Shen Changqing was, for the moment, non-existent. If the battle raged on, both sides would only end up grievously wounded.

As the thought of retreat started to form in his mind, Shen Changqing coagulated all the power of the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang, forming it into a fist of thunder—utterly rigid, utterly yang. This unexpected surge of power caused Wang Mubai’s Flesh to rupture, and he was instantly sent flying. Immediately afterward, Shen Changqing struck with a single finger, unleashing the Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger once more. The destructive Finger Gang shattered the void; the destructive and killing aura between Heaven and Earth all coagulated.

"Not good!" Wang Mubai’s expression changed drastically. His eyes flashed with bloodlight, and from his vertical eye, cyan light bombarded forth. The red and cyan powers mixed, and in that instant, their strength surged. In the next moment, the two forces collided. The void cracked open. It didn’t take long for the blended cyan and red powers to shatter inch by inch, and the remaining momentum of the Finger Gang fell unrestrained upon Wang Mubai’s body. His Flesh was pierced through. The destructive power coagulated without dispersing.

"Explode!" he roared, tearing off an arm and hurling it towards Shen Changqing. The next instant, the severed arm exploded thunderously. Immense, terrifying fluctuations burst forth, causing even the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang to shatter under its power. At the same time, Wang Mubai turned into a streak of light, darting towards Tan Tianji. Without waiting for a reaction, he grabbed the other person’s shoulder with his remaining hand and disappeared into the wilderness in less than a breath’s time.

On the other side, the waves of the explosion subsided. The annihilation and shattering of the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang caused Shen Changqing’s Flesh to once again sustain considerable trauma. Now that the power had dissipated, the injuries on his Flesh were also repairing bit by bit. Looking at the empty wilderness, he didn’t immediately pursue. It was simple: Wang Mubai had suffered serious injuries, and Shen Changqing’s own wounds and exhaustion were also considerable. The Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger, as an even more potent Divine Skill, consumed a great deal of energy with each use. Given Shen Changqing’s foundation, using Divine Skills so frequently had already pushed him beyond his limits. Adding to that the combat with their Flesh, to be honest, he was almost at the end of his strength.

Nevertheless, Shen Changqing believed Wang Mubai couldn’t be in a much better condition than himself. Otherwise, the latter wouldn’t have resorted to severing his own arm to escape. To put it bluntly, that Great Demon did not have the confidence to retreat unscathed.

The strength of a top-tier Great Demon is indeed formidable. Without a further breakthrough, my full effort is probably around this level. That includes the inherent suppression of the Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger against Demon Evils. If not for this advantage, Wang Mubai might not have been repelled by me. If a Great Demon is already this challenging, a Demon Saint is bound to be even more powerful. With my current strength, challenging a Demon Saint is still quite far out of reach.

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly. Though these were his thoughts, his heart was quite satisfied. A Great Grandmaster is comparable to a high-ranking Demon Evil. Only the Domain Realm is equivalent to a Great Demon. At his Great Grandmaster Realm, to battle against a top-tier Great Demon like Wang Mubai without falling into disadvantage, to directly leap an entire major Realm to fight an opponent, was already quite remarkable. Clearly, it was the power of the Divine Heaven Golden Body that enabled him to do this. It’s hard to imagine how powerful this Martial Art would become if there were another fusion. But one thing Shen Changqing was certain of: when the Divine Heaven Golden Body merges again, he would have the strength to contend with a Demon Saint. However, whether he would be strong or weak among Demon Saints, that remains an uncertainty for now.

Straightaway, he thought of the preceding events. I have never spoken to anyone about the Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger, yet Wang Mubai clearly knew of its existence, suggesting that this Divine Skill has been around for quite some time. And... from what he implied, it’s very possible that this Divine Skill belonged to some powerful being. What’s more, there is certainly more than meets the eye beyond this Heaven and Earth!

Shen Changqing’s gaze was deep. A single mention of the Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger, a claim that it was not an inheritance of this world—from these, he could discern the hidden implications in Wang Mubai’s words. Shen Changqing was eager to use this opportunity to learn about what lay beyond Outer Heaven, but the other party was unlikely to reveal much to him. Therefore, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart for now.

Forget it, the boat will straighten itself at the bridgehead, and the day will come when things will become clear. Shaking his head, Shen Changqing didn’t dwell on these thoughts any longer. With sufficient strength, these matters will naturally become clear. If one is not strong enough, there’s no point in probing too much. Looking at it another way, if I had been stronger, I could have captured Wang Mubai just now for severe interrogation. If he hadn’t talked, I would have beaten him until he did, without giving him an opportunity to flee.

Gathering his thoughts, he looked towards the wilderness that had been left desolate by the turmoil of their battle. The fluctuations still lingered. For some time, the residual forces would turn this place into a forbidden land, inaccessible to ordinary people. Nevertheless, Shen Changqing had no intention of erasing the lingering power. There was no need. Given time, the residual forces would naturally dissipate without a trace; there was no reason for him to waste his energy. This wilderness itself served little purpose to begin with.

With one step forward, his figure vanished from the spot. Wang Mubai had left the wilderness, not South Nether Prefecture, nor Great Qin. In light of this, Shen Changqing naturally couldn’t afford to give his adversary a chance to catch his breath.
