44: I'm laying it all out: my strength is only a tiny fraction!

Lin Chen slowly lifted his head, meeting The Asura Blood Maiden's indifferent gaze, and also meeting the gaze of Sect Master Yun Yun on the main platform, which was filled with mockery and cruelty.

On his face, all that "weakness" and "lethargy" vanished in an instant.

Replacing it was a trace of... a cold smile, like that of a god, indifferent and filled with endless majesty.

"Finally, someone who can actually fight a little has arrived."

He slowly stretched, and the bones throughout his body emitted a series of "crackling" sounds.

A monstrous surge of blood energy, a hundred times more terrifying and ten thousand times more overbearing than The Asura Blood Maiden's, awakened violently within his body, like an ancient Vicious Beast that had been sleeping for billions of years!

"The warm-up ends here."

"Next,"

"let me show you all."

"What it truly means to experience... fucking despair!"

As soon as Lin Chen's words fell!

The Asura Blood Maiden opposite him moved!

Within her dark golden pupils, there was no longer any indifference, only endless slaughter and madness!

What she hated most was a man like Lin Chen, who dared to put on an act in front of her!

"Asura Profound Truth!"

"Blood Prison Scythe Dance!"

She did not test him at all!

The moment she attacked, it was her strongest killing move, the one she relied on to become famous and slay countless powerful enemies!

The black magic scythe in her hand instantly transformed into a blood-colored death tornado!

That was not an ordinary scythe shadow!

That was a Domain of death that she had unleashed by using her [Asura Demon Body] as a catalyst, fusing all her Killing Intent and essence blood!

Within the Domain, space shattered, and all living things withered!

Countless vengeful spirits wailed within it, as if they wanted to tear a person's Soul to pieces!

"It... it's the [Blood Prison Scythe Dance]!"

On the main platform, that Grand Elder screamed again, her face filled with fear and fanaticism!

"Three years ago, The Asura Blood Maiden used this very move to forcibly drag three peak Golden Core stage Demon Kings, along with their tribes, into it and grind them into the most primitive flesh and blood powder!"

"This move has already exceeded the scope of the Golden Core! This is... a true 'God-Slaying Technique'!"

It's over!

It's completely over!

In front of that blood-colored tornado capable of shredding everything, everyone felt that the man wouldn't even leave behind a complete corpse!

On the main seat, Sect Master Yun Yun, on that cold, beautiful face, finally revealed a cruel smile of a victor.

The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably!

In her view, this farce had already ended.

That ignorant little beast was about to pay the most tragic price for his arrogance!

However!

Just at the moment when that blood-colored death tornado was about to swallow Lin Chen!

Just at the moment when everyone thought the outcome was decided!

That man who was "certain to die."

He disappeared.

Just like that, out of thin air, he vanished from everyone's sight.

The next moment!

"Ding—!"

A crisp sound of metal colliding, which seemed capable of piercing everyone's Soul, resonated throughout the entire world!

That rotating, earth-shattering, blood-colored tornado suddenly stopped!

Time seemed to be completely frozen at this moment.

The entire audience, tens of thousands of Disciples, hundreds of Elders, along with Sect Master Yun Yun on the main platform.

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened to their maximum!

On everyone's face, there appeared an expression of... seeing a ghost, stupidity, and having their worldview shattered!

What did they see?

They saw that, in the center of the Arena Platform.

Lin Chen's figure, who knows when, had already appeared in front of... The Asura Blood Maiden!

His slender and powerful hand was casually gripping the blade of that huge, terrifying magic scythe, which was burning with black demonic flames!

And his other hand.

It had long since, like an iron pincer, tightly grabbed The Asura Blood Maiden's wrist, which was frozen in mid-air due to extreme shock and disbelief!

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The whole world seemed to have lost its sound.

No one saw his movements clearly!

Even, no one knew how he appeared there!

He was like a ghost!

A phantom that transcended space, transcended time, and transcended everyone's cognition!

"You..."

The Asura Blood Maiden, that legend who was invincible below the Golden Core stage, that Asura Blood Maiden known for speed and slaughter.

She was stunned.

Completely stunned.

She stared blankly at that warm and powerful hand gripping her wrist.

Then she looked at that man who was close at hand, wearing a "kind" smile, and was absurdly handsome.

Her mind was blank.

Her... speed she was proud of... the killing move she was proud of...

In front of this man, actually... didn't even have the qualification to make him retreat half a step?!

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The entire martial arts field was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Tens of thousands of Disciples, hundreds of Elders.

Everyone was petrified.

Their brains completely crashed.

It was like seeing a scene that only appears in myths.

On the main platform.

That Grand Elder who was just bragging about the "God-Slaying Technique."

At this moment, her mouth was wide open.

Her eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

The expression on her face was frozen in extreme shock.

And on the main seat.

Sect Master Yun Yun.

The corners of her mouth that had just curled up.

Still maintained the mocking arc of a victor.

But within her majestic phoenix eyes.

They were already filled with endless horror and disbelief.

How is this possible?!

How could he catch The Asura Blood Maiden?!

Didn't he ingest the [Soft-Muscle Bone-Eroding Powder]?

Shouldn't he be unable to even stand steady?

What on earth is going on?!

On the Arena Platform.

The Asura Blood Maiden finally came back to her senses from that extreme shock.

She looked at the large hand gripping her wrist.

And looked at the man close at hand with a "kind" smile.

An unprecedented sense of humiliation and anger.

Exploded from her heart like a volcano!

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

She didn't believe it!

She absolutely didn't believe it!

Her legend of being invincible below the Golden Core stage!

Her speed and strength that she was proud of!

Would lose to a man!

A man whom everyone regarded as trash!

"Something must have gone wrong!"

"Get... away from me!!!"

She let out a shrill scream!

Her [Asura Demon Body] went completely berserk at this moment!

A surge of blood-colored Devilish Qi, several times more powerful than before, burst forth from her body!

Attempting to shake off Lin Chen's hand!

At the same time!

Her other free hand.

Instantly condensed a blood-colored short blade made of essence blood and Devilish Qi!

With the madness of wanting to perish together!

It fiercely stabbed towards Lin Chen's heart!

This was her final trump card!

The strongest strike obtained by burning her life!

Right at hand!

Unavoidable!

However!

Facing this life-risking strike capable of threatening an Early Nascent Soul Stage!

On Lin Chen's face.

That "kind" smile finally, slowly faded.

Replacing it was a trace of... coldness and indifference, as if looking at a pathetic ant.

"Do you still not understand?"

His voice.

Devoid of any emotion.

"Between you and me.

What separates us.

Is an entire dimension."

As the words fell.

His hand that was gripping The Asura Blood Maiden's wrist.

Just, slightly, exerted force.

"Crack—!!!"

A sound, so crisp that it made everyone's scalp tingle, the sound of bone breaking, resonated throughout the entire world!

The Asura Blood Maiden's gauntlet, crafted from ten-thousand-year mysterious iron.

Along with her incredibly hard wrist.

Were actually, under this one grip.

Forcibly... crushed into powder!

"Ah—!!!"

Intense pain!

Heart-drilling and bone-piercing pain!

Instantly spread throughout The Asura Blood Maiden's entire body!

Her blood-colored short blade that was stabbing towards Lin Chen's heart.

Also, in this extreme pain.

Instantly collapsed!

Transforming into blood mist filling the sky!

And Lin Chen.

It was as if he had done a trivial thing.

He let go.

Then.

On that beautiful face that was completely twisted by intense pain and fear.

With a backhand, a slap, fiercely, struck it!

"Slap—!!!"
