Chapter 50 Zhang Fan Arrives
Mentor Yang pulled Su Wan behind him in one swift motion, his internal energy surging wildly as he prepared for a desperate, final stand!
But he knew that facing this terrifying entity, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow!
Yet, on the scene, besides him, there was no one left who could block this terrifying beast.
Just then.
"Hum!"
A low, deep humming sound echoed from afar, rapidly approaching!
A streak of black light tore through the air from the far distance!
"Thud!"
That streak of black light was, in fact, a heavy hammer—the mystic heavy mountain-collapsing hammer!
The heavy hammer slammed heavily into the ground in front of the King-level Ferocious Beast, causing the beast to be slightly stunned, its forward charge pausing for a fleeting moment.
Subsequently, Zhang Fan's figure arrived with a whistling sound like wind and thunder; he gripped the heavy hammer and hoisted it back onto his shoulder.
Zhang Fan had arrived!
"Zhang Fan!"
Su Wan saw Zhang Fan, and her eyes instantly erupted with a gleam of joyful surprise, but she immediately urged, "Be careful! Retreat quickly! This King-level is too strong! Shen Xiao was... the moment they clashed!"
Mentor Yang and Zhu Chi also noticed Zhang Fan, and while struggling to block the Atomic Giant Lizard's strikes, they urgently shouted, "Zhang Fan, this beast has passed its growth phase and reached maturity! Its strength is approaching the second stage of breaking limits!"
Their meaning was clear: it would be a stroke of luck just to drive this King-level away! To kill it, they would likely have to wait for stronger reinforcements!
Zhang Fan's gaze swept across the battlefield, finally landing on the Atomic Giant Lizard's hideous head, which was covered in bone armor and radiating atomic radiation.
Feeling the vast, ocean-like energy within the opponent, carrying an aura of destruction, the corners of his mouth actually curved upward slightly.
"A mature-stage King-level, eh... Perfect, I can test my current strength against it."
He looked at Mentor Yang and Zhu Chi, "Mentor Yang, Commander Zhu, please help me by guarding the flanks to prevent it from escaping. I'll take the lead and give it a try."
Mentor Yang and Zhu Chi were both stunned.
They could feel the aura radiating from Zhang Fan, which was completely different from before—more profound, more restrained, yet containing a heart-trembling, massive power!
The two exchanged a glance, seeing in each other's eyes shock, suspicion, and a hint of... an unbelievable guess!
Could it be that he... had broken through again?!
"Alright! You be careful!" Mentor Yang gritted his teeth, exchanged a look with Zhu Chi, and shifted the battle formation to move to the flanks for containment.
Zhang Fan said no more; gripping the mystic heavy mountain-collapsing hammer, he stepped forward.
With every step he took, as the Dragon Elephant Source Fetus Technique circulated, his figure seemed to grow heavier and heavier, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The Atomic Giant Lizard's scarlet vertical pupils instantly locked onto this "little bug" who dared to walk toward it alone.
It felt a hint of threat, but more than that, it felt a furious rage at being provoked by an ant!
"Roar!"
It let out an impatient roar, and its massive tail, as thick as a steel pillar, whistled through the air, whipping toward Zhang Fan's waist like lightning!
This strike was the exact same move that had sent four Bawu Hall elders flying with a single tail lash just moments ago!
"Careful!" Su Wan exclaimed in alarm.
In the distance, Shen Xiao, who had just been woken up and had swallowed healing medicine, saw this scene with a flash of terror in his eyes, then waited to see Zhang Fan get swatted away just the same.
However, Zhang Fan moved his feet slightly.
Shenxiao Movement Technique!
His figure seemed to blur for a moment, leaving a faint afterimage in place. The giant tail grazed his clothes and slammed heavily into the ground, leaving a deep pit as dust and smoke billowed into the sky!
Yet, Zhang Fan's true form had appeared directly above the Atomic Giant Lizard's head!
"So fast!" Mentor Yang's pupils constricted; this movement technique was more exquisite than any he had ever seen!
The Atomic Giant Lizard, having missed its strike, grew even more furious. It threw its head back and let out a heaven-shaking roar, opening its giant maw as points of destructive white light gathered frantically deep in its throat!
The surrounding air distorted due to the intense heat!
A terrifying energy that made one's soul tremble was brewing!
"Atomic Breath! Get out of the way!" Zhu Chi shouted sternly, "The energy intensity of this strike has definitely reached the second stage of breaking limits!"
Just then,
Zhang Fan slammed the mystic heavy mountain-collapsing hammer in his hand downward! His target was the connection point of a piece of bone armor where its mandible met its neck!
"Clang!!" An incredibly dull, earth-shaking sound!
The immense force penetrated through the bone, forcibly slamming the Atomic Giant Lizard's half-open, bloodthirsty maw shut!
"Guh!"
The Atomic Giant Lizard let out a strange, forced-interruption whimper. The half-gathered Atomic Breath energy lost control within its forcibly closed mouth and exploded violently!
"Boom!!" A muffled sound erupted from the giant beast's mouth. Its massive head was blown backward, the scales at the corners of its mouth shattered, and dark red blood tainted with radiation oozed out—it had clearly suffered significant internal injuries!
Utilizing the recoil from the hammer, Zhang Fan's figure elegantly spun half a circle in the air. The mystic heavy mountain-collapsing hammer traced a perfect arc, gathering power once more, and slammed fiercely toward the top of the Atomic Giant Lizard's head with even more violent force!
"Thud!!" This hammer blow landed solidly on the hard skull!
The Atomic Giant Lizard let out a roar mixed with pain and anger, its massive body swaying as it experienced a brief moment of dizziness!
"Roar!!"
It went completely mad, its massive body rearing up on its hind legs, its spine covered in bone spurs arching violently in an attempt to fling Zhang Fan, who was standing on its head, away!
But Zhang Fan's feet were as if rooted! Looking closely, he had channeled his full strength into his feet, even faintly carrying the vibrating force of his hammer technique, forcibly crushing the surface bone armor and sinking his ankles into the gaps of the bone armor, firmly anchoring his figure!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Without waiting for the Atomic Giant Lizard to make its next move, Zhang Fan's arm muscles bulged. The power of the Dragon Elephant Body Refining Art and the Collapsing Star Hammer Technique erupted from within him, and in three consecutive strikes, like forging iron, he slammed heavily into the exact same spot!
Three loud bangs, each one duller than the last!
The Atomic Giant Lizard's indestructible skull was actually smashed into a depression, with cracks spreading! Dark red blood sprayed out from the fissures!
"Whimper..."
The Atomic Giant Lizard let out a sound that was no longer a roar of rage, but a whimper filled with pain and even a hint of a whine! It was like a stray dog that had been beaten into submission!
This sound clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Mentor Yang, Zhu Chi, Wang Qiang, Su Wan... everyone was dumbfounded, their minds blank.
This... was this really the sound made by that King-level Ferocious Beast that had just crushed Shen Xiao and forced them into a desperate struggle for survival?
Zhang Fan... was actually beating it like a dog?
Shen Xiao, who had just been waiting to watch the joke, now had his mouth wide open, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, his face full of absurdity! The beast that he couldn't even withstand a single move from despite giving his all, was it really this pathetic under Zhang Fan's hands?
In agony, the Atomic Giant Lizard twisted its massive body frantically, and several of the thickest pieces of bone armor on its back even actively detached, shooting toward Zhang Fan above its head like flying knives in an attempt to force him to retreat.
Zhang Fan's figure flickered, easily dodging them.
Then he landed not far away, holding the blood-dripping heavy hammer, and looked at the giant beast.
