190: This thing is so powerful, how can it not die?

Shen Bei slowly raised his right hand above his head, as if plucking the moon and stars, and the True Qi in his body, like a surging river, converged into his palm.

A fiery and vast True Qi, like a wild torrent breaking out of its cocoon, surged forth with thunderous force, rising powerfully into the sky.

Under the impact of this True Qi, the surrounding air was instantly compressed and distorted, forming visible ripples that spread outwards.

The once calm sky was stirred by this sudden power, the weather changed dramatically, dark clouds rolled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if the entire world trembled.

At this moment, the stars twinkling in the night sky seemed to connect with Shen Bei.

Thousands of starlights instantly condensed, forming a dazzling and brilliant pillar of light that shot down from the vast sky. This scene was like a galaxy pouring down, the Milky Way hanging upside down.

Rumble...

The giant hand, constructed from starlight, descended rapidly from the sky like a meteorite, carrying destructive power and the majesty of endless stars, smashing violently towards the ground with an unstoppable force.

Every ray of starlight left a dazzling trajectory in the air, and the power it displayed was enough to shake mountains and make the earth tremble.

"Starfall!"

Shen Bei slammed his palm down.

The gigantic hand descending from the sky, following Shen Bei's gesture, suddenly erupted with a fierce, colossal pure white Qi wave, like a raging tide, crashing down on Stone Heart's head with the force of a tidal wave striking the shore!

This scene made Stone Heart, who was already in his distorted form, feel his heart pound, and his eyes filled with deep dread and horror.

His face twisted in an intense struggle, as if he was enduring immense pain!

There was no hint of ease in his eyes, but rather a deep heaviness: "What Martial Skill is this! How could... how could..."

Shen Bei smiled faintly, his smile filled with endless grimness and mystery: "You should feel very honored; this is the first time I've used this Martial Skill."

Stone Heart looked up at the giant palm descending from the sky, as if the sky itself was collapsing!

Deafening gales and monstrous waves of air rushed towards him, like the grinning of Death!

Stone Heart's wildly grinning face froze, and his scalp instantly tingled with fear!

Who is this person!

Suffocating, materialized gale winds rushed towards him, and seeing such a terrifying display, Stone Heart's heart felt as if it was being fiercely squeezed by a large hand. His previous arrogance and perversity vanished, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of terror filling his heart.

If he couldn't block this palm, he would surely die!

"Ah!"

In an instant, with no time to counterattack, Stone Heart roared wildly, black light surging through his entire body into his arms. He abruptly crossed his arms above his head, using his hardest, bone-spiked elbows to raise them like a defensive cauldron, attempting to block Shen Bei's terrifying palm!

Then.

Boom!!!

The giant palm of Starfall struck down like a meteorite.

Where palm and elbow met, the ground within a thirty-meter radius instantly cracked and collapsed!

Whether it was the dirty dirt road or the brick-built houses, everything shattered under this destructive force.

And under this terrifying shockwave, the streets and alleys, extending to the entire gathering of Rainbow Light, all the ground and buildings vibrated wildly, looking as if a magnitude seven or eight earthquake had occurred!

Crackling!

And Stone Heart, who took Shen Bei's palm head-on, felt a rapid series of explosions throughout his body, like firecrackers. His snake-like eyes bulged suddenly, and he felt as if he had been hit by an steel aircraft carrier.

Heavy, heavy, heavy!

Pain, pain, pain!

Under Shen Bei's earth-shattering palm, the overwhelming force, carrying extreme pressure and extreme pain, snapped Stone Heart's steel-like muscle fibers and rebar-like bones, directly slamming into his spirit. Then, his two-meter-tall monstrous body couldn't even stand for half a second before collapsing to his knees!

As he knelt, blood mist sprayed from Stone Heart's seven orifices, until black blood seeped from every pore, and in the blink of an eye, he completely transformed into a blood-soaked figure.

The earth trembled violently, and rumbling sounds came from deep underground, as large amounts of dust were stirred up in layers.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah—!"

Kneeling on the ground, with both arms raised to brace against Shen Bei's palm, Stone Heart's eye sockets cracked, his face was extremely distorted, and he couldn't even speak, letting out a silent roar in his heart.

He never imagined that Shen Bei, a Third-Rank Martial Artist he hadn't even considered, would possess such terrifying power!

Even after transforming into an inhuman monster, he couldn't even withstand this single palm strike!

One must know, he had consumed the blood of something called "Black Emperor" from the Catacombs!

The power of distortion was not something Super-Modified Adrenaline could compare to.

Simply consuming it required extremely high personal conditions!

Puff!

However, the next moment, amidst extreme terror, pain, disbelief, and a will on the verge of collapse, Stone Heart felt a sudden chill in his chest.

He slowly lowered his head.

What he saw was a hand brutally piercing through his chest!

"You...!"

Stone Heart's snake-like vertical pupils froze, his mouth slightly agape, and he suddenly felt an extreme pain and powerlessness, as if something was leaving his body.

With a soft 'hiss' sound, he then watched in abject horror as the hand was abruptly pulled out from his chest, clutching a black, bloody object in its palm.

"So it's black."

Shen Bei clicked his tongue, glancing at it with disdain.

Then... he put his heart back: "I'm giving it back to you."

Stone Heart: !!!

Shen Bei looked down from above at Stone Heart, who was kneeling before him, his gaze filled with brutality, cruelty, and ruthlessness:

"I'll tell you a secret: your employer, Wu Jue, is a member of the Apocalypse Cult. You were sold out by him, and you even counted his money for him."

In Shen Bei's opinion, this Stone Heart was somewhat lacking in intelligence.

The relationship between the Apocalypse Cult and the Headhunter Tribe was very tense.

Mutual hatred and even deadly clashes were not uncommon.

But Stone Heart took money to do a job without investigating Wu Jue's identity; he was truly foolish.

Shen Bei then thought, perhaps it wasn't Stone Heart's fault for being a scapegoat.

Wu Jue's identity was definitely very well hidden.

No one would have guessed he was a member of the Apocalypse Cult.

Shen Bei speculated that Wu Jue's idea was simple.

If Stone Heart retrieved the dual blades and killed him, everything would be Perfection.

If he couldn't retrieve them, Stone Heart's death was irrelevant, and others wouldn't be able to trace the employer.

But the problem lay with Red Bro.

This guy also came along.

Perhaps Wu Jue never imagined that Red Bro and he had a conflict.

Through Zhao Long's introduction, Shen Bei already knew that Red Bro's boss was Wu Jue.

Following the clues, it was almost openly revealed that Wu Jue was an Apocalypse Cult member.

At this moment.

Stone Heart's distorted form allowed him to survive even without a heart, not dying immediately.

However, upon hearing Shen Bei's words, his face instantly turned pale, his expression twisted in shock, and he gritted his teeth.

His already near-death state, his life force plummeted even more dramatically.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

If... if Shen Bei hadn't delivered that final psychological blow.

Even with his heart gouged out, given time, he could have fully healed.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Black Emperor!

But now, the mental trauma was even more severe than the physical injuries.

"Apocalypse... Apocalypse Cult."

Stone Heart's heart was churning with tumultuous waves, his eyes filled only with extreme shock, horror, and disbelief, as he roared almost losing control: "I... how is that possible!"

This was simply an insult!

When had the Headhunter Tribe ever fought for the Apocalypse Cult!

Shen Bei slowly pressed down on his head: "You've said 'how is that possible' too many times. Is that your final last word?"

Stone Heart was about to speak.

Shen Bei shushed him: "How about you tell me what kind of blood you drank, your heart is gone, yet you can still last this long. How about I leave you a complete corpse?"

Ptooey!

Stone Heart spat a mouthful of black blood at Shen Bei.

Shen Bei tilted his head, dodging it, his face somewhat annoyed: "Then your death will be worthless."

As soon as his words fell.

Shen Bei's palm suddenly exerted force, as if crushing an egg.

He directly crushed Stone Heart's head!

This time, Stone Heart's life force completely dissipated.

He slumped softly by the roadside.

Shen Bei took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the grime from his palm.

His gaze was fixed on the glass tube left on the ground.

Shen Bei was somewhat displeased; this blood that could cause Martial Artists to distort was truly remarkable.

From Stone Heart's state, it was evident that his attributes had definitely increased significantly, possibly not weaker than Super-Modified Adrenaline.

Although the distorted form was unsightly, the effects it brought were very obvious.

Stone Heart didn't die even after his heart was gouged out.

Wouldn't this mean that Martial Artists in close combat no longer had to worry about injuries, having no weaknesses?

"It's truly suitable for me..." Shen Bei sighed, regretting and muttering to himself: "But I didn't get the intel."

However, Shen Bei still picked up the bottle, holding it steadily between his fingers, and paused for a moment.

The small amount of blood clinging to the wall of the bottle eventually, under gravity, gathered at the bottom, forming a tiny drop.

Shen Bei's face broke into a smile of surprise, and he quickly sealed the rubber stopper to prevent the blood from evaporating naturally.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly.

A warning shout came from behind Shen Bei:

"Hands up!"

"Hands behind your back!"

"Stand still."

"Squat down for me!"

Shen Bei: ...
