544: Destroy with overwhelming force

Boom!

The violent tremor startled both Duolunsi and Mengduo, who were about to clash.

They turned their heads in confusion, only to find Wang Chen alone in the field, with no trace of Afuna.

Instead, there was a deep, dark, human-shaped pit in the ground, its depth unknown.

What happened?

Could it be that Afuna was struck into the ground by this boy?

Upon seeing this, Duolunsi's heart was filled with immense shock, his expression so gloomy it seemed water would drip from it.

Mengduo, standing by, felt the same.

Having been unexpectedly injured by Wang Chen earlier, he knew this boy's strength was not weak.

But it was only 'not weak'.

After all, he hadn't used his full strength then, and the boy had only injured him because he was unprepared.

However, now, that 'not weak' needed to be put in quotation marks.

In just a few breaths, Afuna was at a disadvantage, blasted into the ground.

Mengduo felt that even if he had gone up against him, his performance might not have been much better than Afuna's.

"Where did this formidable person come from?"

"I've never heard of such a person near Gods Sigh Mountain!"

Mengduo's mind was racing with thoughts, and his gaze towards Wang Chen was already filled with deep apprehension.

"Cough... cough..."

At this moment, a painful coughing sound emerged, and accompanying it, Afuna, covered in blood and extremely disheveled, crawled out of the pit.

At this point, there wasn't a single good piece of flesh left on her body; her fair skin was covered in open wounds where flesh was torn, and her chest and shoulders showed clear indentations.

Clearly, after enduring Wang Chen's Double Fist Rapid Strike, Afuna was essentially crippled.

"Are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Duolunsi, disregarding the need to restrain Mengduo, quickly went to Afuna's side and poured a bottle of potion down her throat.

"Cough cough!"

After drinking the medicine, Afuna's complexion improved slightly, but her eyes still held lingering shock.

Wang Chen's previous attack had directly shattered her psychological defenses.

One move!

Just one move had directly inflicted severe injuries upon her!

Now, in Afuna's eyes, the black-clad figure not far away, hiding his face, definitely possessed the strength of a Top-level Saint.

However, what Afuna didn't know was that the beating she received was merely Wang Chen's performance in his normal state.

If he had activated his full power, she wouldn't just be severely injured now; she would have been directly blasted into dust by his fists.

"Duolunsi."

"We are no match for this guy. Let's retreat; we don't need that treasure anymore."

Grabbing Duolunsi's clothes, Afuna said urgently.

"This..."

Duolunsi hesitated upon hearing this, but seeing his companion's fearful eyes and injuries, he finally nodded.

But unfortunately.

They wanted to retreat, but Wang Chen had no intention of letting them go.

"Trying to run? It's not that easy."

"All of you will stay today."

Wang Chen looked at the three of them with indifferent eyes, approaching step by step.

The brief exchange earlier had thoroughly ignited his interest in battle; now, a surging Battle Intent emanated from his entire body.

A terrifying Aura enveloped an area of several hundred meters, making it difficult for Duolunsi and Mengduo to breathe.

"Your Excellency, why be so aggressive?"

"We will withdraw from the treasure hunt. If Your Excellency shows mercy today, we will repay you in the future."

Feeling Wang Chen's god-like Aura, Duolunsi's face was so gloomy it seemed water would drip from it. He gritted his teeth and said:

"You should know, it's good to leave a line for future encounters."

"Oh?"

"Are you cursing me to die?"

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, his eyes like lightning falling upon Duolunsi.

What the Hell is 'leaving a line for future encounters'?

If you all die and go to Hell, wouldn't I have to go to Hell to see you?

Duolunsi hadn't yet understood what Wang Chen meant, but being stared at by that fierce gaze, his body involuntarily trembled.

That gaze contained undisguised killing intent.

Clearly, this guy had no intention of letting them go.

"Mengduo, this boy wants to keep us all here."

"If you don't want to die, join forces with me."

"Even if he is a Top-level Saint, I refuse to believe he can defeat the two of us."

Placing Afuna on the ground, Duolunsi nervously looked at Wang Chen, speaking to Mengduo without turning his head.

Hearing him, Mengduo's expression became somewhat uncertain.

By joining forces with Duolunsi, they could indeed contend with a Top-level Saint, but Mengduo was afraid of being tricked!

Duolunsi was notoriously cunning, and he had been taken advantage of before.

"I won't join this excitement."

"You two continue; I have matters to attend to at home."

After a moment of contemplation, Mengduo took a step back, slowly retreating. He no longer intended to get involved in this messy situation.

However.

After just two steps back, he stopped, simultaneously gripping his greatsword tightly.

A pair of indifferent eyes had fallen upon him.

"...Your Excellency, we have no grievances or grudges; there's no need for a life-and-death struggle, is there?"

"I am willing to pay a price and make friends with Your Excellency."

Mengduo swallowed, a chrysanthemum-like smile appearing on his aged face, as he carefully looked at Wang Chen.

"Heh heh!"

However, Wang Chen merely scoffed disdainfully at his words:

"You just tried to kill and rob; now you have the nerve to say we have no grievances or grudges?"

"Besides, if I kill you, everything on you will be mine. Why bother making this friend?"

Staring at Mengduo with a mocking gaze, Wang Chen moved his feet, transforming into a bolt of lightning and charging forward.

The next second, he appeared directly in front of Mengduo.

Upon seeing this, Mengduo was greatly alarmed and quickly brought his greatsword across his body.

"Heh heh!"

"Charged Strike!"

Wang Chen sneered, his already primed fist smashing out without hesitation.

Boom!

The violent force slammed into the greatsword, instantly causing Mengduo's body to sink, his feet digging into the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards around him.

Moreover, the power of Wang Chen's punch at this moment was even stronger than his previous Double Fist Rapid Strike. Even though Mengduo blocked it, his entire arm holding the sword instantly became engorged with blood, and with a 'pfft', his capillaries burst, dyeing him crimson.

"Let's talk this out, Your Excellency; we truly don't need to fight to the death."

Feeling the mountain-like weight of that punch, Mengduo quickly pleaded for mercy.

One punch had almost crippled his arm; this strength far exceeded his own.

Forget about joining forces with Duolunsi; even if Afuna were added, the three of them together might not be a match for the black-clad man before them.

At this moment, Mengduo only regretted how greedy he had been, getting involved in this mess for no reason.

However, Wang Chen paid no attention to his pleas for mercy.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Seeing Mengduo block his punch, he pressed his advantage relentlessly, continuing to throw punches.
