157: Chapter 157 One Punch Explodes
That frost dragon head had completely collapsed.
It watched the youth walking toward it step by step with a warm smile on his face, feeling its very soul tremble.
A devil!
This human was definitely a devil that had crawled out from the deepest depths of hell!
It wanted to beg for mercy.
It wanted to kneel.
It wanted to do everything possible to trade for its life.
But its pride as a high-tier demonic beast and the ferocity rooted deep in its bloodline prevented it from making such a "humiliating" move.
"Roar..."
From its throat, it let out a low wail filled with resentment and despair.
Then, it made its final and most crazed decision.
It was going to self-destruct!
It was going to detonate the energy core within its body!
It was going to use its life to defend its final shred of dignity!
It was going to perish together with this damned human who had made it suffer through so much fear and humiliation!
Buzz—!
An extremely unstable ice-blue energy, thick with the scent of destruction, began to frantically gather and compress within its body!
Its massive body began to swell uncontrollably!
The temperature of the surrounding air plummeted!
Layers of ice-blue frost rapidly spread outward from its center!
In this instant, the entire canyon seemed as if it were about to be completely dragged into an eternal ice age!
"Not good! It's going to self-destruct!"
At the other end of the canyon, Auston, the captain of the Federal First Military Academy, had his expression change drastically upon seeing this!
He let out a roar filled with horror!
"Quick! Activate the energy shields! Everyone, find cover immediately!"
The self-destruction of a Rank 6 demonic beast was definitely no less powerful than a low-yield tactical nuclear bomb!
Their current position was right within the core blast radius!
Once caught in the blast, this group of already heavily injured remnants would surely be torn to shreds by the terrifying energy storm in an instant!
On Xuanyuan University's side, Shi Lei, Lei Qian, and the others were also scared out of their wits by this sudden turn of events!
"Holy shit! Run!"
Without a second thought, Shi Lei turned to flee!
But it was already too late!
That absolute zero chill, enough to freeze even a soul, had already spread to their feet!
Their bodies began to grow stiff and sluggish!
Their blood felt as if it were about to freeze!
Despair!
An unprecedented, suffocating despair shrouded everyone's hearts!
They felt like prisoners standing on an execution platform, awaiting their death sentence!
They could only watch helplessly as the constantly expanding "sun of death" drew closer and closer!
However...
At the critical moment when everyone thought they were doomed...
The youth who had been standing at the very center of the storm moved.
He looked at the Three-Headed Demonic Dragon that was preparing to drag everyone to hell with it, and an expression of... "impatience" appeared on his face.
"You want to die?"
"Did you get my permission?"
His voice remained as calm and indifferent as ever.
It was as if the terrifying self-destruction capable of destroying everything before him was no different from a child's firecracker in his eyes.
After saying that...
He slowly raised his right hand.
Clenched his fist.
Then, toward that rapidly expanding frost dragon head emitting the aura of destruction...
He casually threw a punch!
"Starfall Flowing Light Body"!
With this punch, he no longer deliberately restrained his power as he had before.
Instead, he completely unleashed his terrifying physical strength of two thousand points, belonging to the peak of Rank 5, without reservation!
Boom—!!!
At that moment, the entire world seemed to lose all sound and color!
In everyone's eyes, only a single beam of light remained!
A silver light, brilliant and dazzling to the extreme, as if converged from billions of stars!
That light tore through space and pierced through time!
In an inconceivable manner that transcended all laws of physics!
In an instant, it appeared before that frost dragon head!
There was no world-shaking explosion.
There was no earth-shattering blast.
The moment that silver light touched the frost dragon head, it passed right through it effortlessly.
As if it had merely passed through a thin layer of void air.
The next second...
The frost dragon head that had been rapidly expanding and emitting an aura of destruction came to an abrupt halt.
In its ice-blue eyes, filled with madness and determination, the light rapidly faded.
Immediately after...
A tiny silver crack, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, slowly emerged from the center of its forehead.
Then, that crack began to spread frantically across its entire head and body at a terrifying speed!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The crisp sounds of shattering rang out continuously in the silent canyon like the death knell of the Grim Reaper!
Finally...
Under the gazes of everyone, who were already completely numb and filled with extreme horror...
The overbearing Rank 6 Three-Headed Demonic Dragon, whose size was comparable to a mountain, along with its energy core that was about to detonate...
Shattered with a bang!
Turning into countless crystalline ice-blue... specks of light.
Like a brilliant and dreamlike blizzard.
Scattering with the wind.
As if it had never existed in this world.
...
The entire canyon fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the ice-blue specks of light dancing in the sky.
They looked at the lazy youth who was slowly withdrawing his fist, without even a single wrinkle on the hem of his clothes.
Their brains had completely stopped thinking.
One punch.
Just a single punch.
And a terrifying Rank 6 demonic beast about to self-destruct was completely erased from this world?!
This... what the hell... what kind of power was this?!
Was this... really something a human could do?
They felt as if they were watching the most absurd and surreal play.
And that youth was the sole protagonist of that play.
"Cap... Captain..."
In the Xuanyuan University team, Shi Lei's voice carried an uncontrollable, violent tremble.
He looked at that back, which in his eyes had completely transformed into a "god."
He felt his legs going weak uncontrollably.
He wanted to kneel.
He wanted to prostrate himself in worship before that man.
Not just him.
Beside him, Lei Qian, Lin Zhan, Qin Wushuang...
At this moment, the same emotions of "fanaticism" and "worship" welled up in the hearts of all the Xuanyuan University team members!
Too strong!
So strong that it completely exceeded their understanding of the word "power"!
One foot crushing a dragon head!
One slap sending a dragon head flying!
And one punch directly turned a Rank 6 demonic beast about to self-destruct into a sky full of light specks!
Was this... really something their captain, who usually seemed lazy and even a bit "wretched," could do?
They felt as if they were dreaming.
A surreal dream filled with the aesthetics of violence and endless shock.
