115: Chapter 105 One Punch

Lin Yan quickly discovered that Han Zhiyuan's shadow imitation had reached its limit; it must be that his own strength limited the shadow's growth cap.

The shadow's strength simply could not keep up with the speed at which his attributes were stacking!

The mirror shadow had only replicated Lin Yan from a few minutes ago.

But the Lin Yan of this moment had already completed a comprehensive, trans-dimensional transformation!

The gap instantly widened into an unbridgeable chasm!

[Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation: 8000 stacks, increases magic attack power: 400,000]

[Magic to Physical Conversion passive activated, converting 460,000 points of physical attack power]

Facing the identical dark mirror figure, Lin Yan's gaze was indifferent as he raised his hand to strike with his blade.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a streak of blood-colored radiance piercing through the darkness.

Shhh—!!

Precise, clean, and lethal.

The mirror shadow did not even have time to draw its blade or unleash its replicated techniques before its body was completely severed right down the middle!

The pitch-black body shattered with a boom, and the dense shadow essence trembled violently, emitting a silent wail.

Unlike ordinary shadows that shatter and dissolve in seconds.

The permanent shadow was damaged and could not be instantly reshaped!

A formidable permanent replica requires an extremely long time and a vast amount of shadow energy to slowly repair and regenerate!

Defeated in one move!

The entire canyon finally returned to deathly silence.

During the previous battle, Lin Yan had intentionally kept changing his fighting position, keeping his Blood Qi Perception fully activated, sweeping across every inch of shadow and every blind spot in the entire valley.

Yet no matter how he searched, he could never capture a shred of Han Zhiyuan's true aura.

This person's shadow concealment ability was terrifyingly extreme; he was hidden far too deeply.

Lin Yan sheathed his blade and stood still.

He lifted his gaze to sweep across the empty, gloomy canyon, his eyes remaining calm as he murmured softly:

"If I can't find you… then I won't look anymore."

No one knew that throughout the entire struggle just now, Lin Yan had never once used his full strength.

He had deliberately allowed the endless shadows to attack him in turns, merely to use them to crazily maintain the passive of [Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation] and stack the layers to the terrifying critical point of 8,000.

With the endless layers stacked, his foundation had long since climbed to a brand-new peak during this endless entanglement.

There was no longer any need to hold back.

Immediately, he unleashed his strongest strike against the canyon he was facing.

Lin Yan slowly raised his fist.

There was no stance for gathering power, no earth-shaking forewarning; the movement was as plain as a casual swing.

But the moment his fist was raised, the air in the entire canyon instantly froze!

Hum—!!

A violent physical might, indescribable in words, exploded forth!

The ultimate amplification of 8,000 layers of Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation combined with Magic to Physical Conversion was completely unleashed!

The ultimate physical destructive power instantly stacked, doubled, and went berserk!

Boom!!!!!

One punch landed!

No flashy techniques, only pure, overbearing, absolute power that crushed everything!

The deafening roar instantly tore the heavens and earth apart!

With Lin Yan as the center, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, creating dense, crisscrossing chasms thousands of feet deep!

The hard rock layers exploded, were flipped, and collapsed, layer by layer, like fragile glass!

The towering, steep canyon walls on both sides snapped directly from their foundations!

Rumble—!!!

Boulders rolled, rock layers overturned, and dust soared into the sky!

The gloomy canyon, stretching for over a thousand meters, collapsed entirely from top to bottom, from inside to out!

The sky-blocking rock walls crashed down, and every blind spot where shadows hid, every hidden shadow layer, and every dark, obscured area was completely wiped out!

The entire canyon was turned upside down, and massive waves of dust shot straight into the clouds!

The originally cold and deathly silent valley area instantly transformed into a violent, ruinous wasteland!

The few surviving Contestants behind him had their pupils dilate, their hair standing on end, and scared out of their wits, they retreated frantically!

"Quick, dodge!!"

"It… it collapsed?! The entire canyon was just shattered?!"

"Is this power that a human can unleash?!"

"It's too terrifying… this isn't even the same dimension of combat power!"

Everyone's faces were pale, their bodies could not stop trembling, and only extreme fear and shock remained in their hearts.

And deep in the canyon.

Han Zhiyuan, who had originally been hidden within the crevices of the shadows, concealed flawlessly, and using the entire darkness to mask his figure, was now completely frozen in place!

His shadow concealment domain, which he relied on to survive and dominate the battlefield, had been forcefully and completely shredded, destroyed, and leveled by this punch!

All shadow carriers had collapsed, and all hiding spots had been annihilated!

He had nowhere left to hide!

Han Zhiyuan's eyes bulged, his pupils trembled violently, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, his face full of extreme disbelief.

His body was stiff, and his mind was completely shattered!

"Ho… how is this possible?!"

"One punch… to shatter the entire canyon?!"

"What level of physical strength is this?!"

He had seen countless top-tier geniuses and monstrous talents, but he had never seen such unreasonable, cognition-shattering, terrifying combat power!

That permanent mirror shadow from just a moment ago, which had crushed the entire field, was already the limit of combat power within his cognition.

But in front of the destructive power of Lin Yan's punch, it was as fragile as a piece of paper!

His shadow, stealth, and kiting, which he was so proud of, were meaningless under this kind of absolutely violent, destructive crushing force!

At this moment, all of Han Zhiyuan's arrogance, ambition, and covetousness were completely shattered, leaving only bone-chilling terror.

Nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide.

Amidst the falling gravel and dust filling the sky, Lin Yan's figure stood steadily, not stained by a single speck of dust.

His gaze was indifferent, and his Blood Qi Perception precisely locked onto the black-clad youth revealing himself in the center of the ruins.

"Found you."

Lin Yan stepped lightly, crossing the distance of tens of meters of ruins in an instant.

Han Zhiyuan's whole body tensed up; subconsciously, he channeled all his shadow energy, wanting to control the remaining shadows to resist to the death and use shadow teleportation to escape!

But the remaining shadow power had long been depleted in the canyon's collapse; his legion had been wiped out, and his energy was completely exhausted.

His strongest reliance was gone; he had nothing left!

Lin Yan raised his hand and threw out a simple, unadorned punch.

Bang!

There was no suspense, no kiting.

All of Han Zhiyuan's defenses, all his struggles, and all his shadow enhancements shattered instantly.

His entire person was directly pierced through his combat power shield by the punch, his body shook violently, and his consciousness went blank in an instant!

[Contestant: Han Zhiyuan, eliminated!]

[Settlement Reward: Obtained 10% of the target's personal points!]

[Settlement Bounty: Claimed the full bounty value of Han Zhiyuan!]

Two system notification sounds rang out simultaneously!

In this year's Chaotic Battlefield, the top-tier genius known for becoming stronger the more he fought, Han Zhiyuan, was now completely out of the game!

The falling rocks gradually subsided.

Above the scarred canyon ruins, everyone looked at that solitary, blood-colored figure, with nothing left in their hearts but endless awe and horror.
