46: Chapter 46 One Punch Splits the Heavens: The Terrifying Power of a Pure Yang Body

Zhao Ruoan's figure flickered as he continuously shuttled between the edge of the poisonous mist and the ape's fist shadows, searching for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

His movements looked perilous, yet he was always able to evade fatal attacks at the most crucial moments.

After clashing for over a dozen rounds,

Zhao Ruoan had completely figured out the attack rhythm of these two Yao Beasts.

He no longer dodged.

As the black ape's heavy fist smashed down once more, Zhao Ruoan advanced instead of retreating, closing in against the fist wind.

An abstruse and bizarre fluctuation spread outward with him at the center.

Fifth-Order Sword Intent, prototype of a Domain!

The huge body of the black ape, which was in the midst of charging, abruptly stalled.

It felt as though it had fallen into a sticky quagmire, every movement of its body becoming incomparably difficult, and even its thoughts slowing down by half a beat.

"Now!"

In the split second of the black ape's sluggishness, Zhao Ruoan's figure crossed paths with it.

Two streams of sword radiance, one golden and one cyan, flashed past the black ape's thick neck like crossing scissors.

"Pfft!"

The giant ape's head soared into the sky.

Black blood gushed out wildly from the severed neck.

"Thump!"

The black ape's mountain-like headless corpse crashed heavily onto the ground, producing a loud noise and kicking up dust all over the sky.

A guardian Yao Beast at the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm perished on the spot.

The remaining giant python at the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm completely fell into a frenzy.

It abandoned the long-range harassment of spitting poisonous mist.

On its massive serpent body, demonic power frantically condensed at an unprecedented speed.

A demonic power light orb the size of a human head, pitch-black throughout and exuding a destructive Aura, rapidly took shape in its bloody, gaping maw.

Zhao Ruoan did not give it the chance to fully charge its power.

With his left hand, he formed an abstruse sword formula.

Jingxian Sword Canon, Second Form, Illusory God.

An intangible fluctuation, faster than sound and more arcane than light, acted directly upon the giant python's Divine Soul.

The giant python, which was just about to spit out the demonic power light orb, suddenly stiffened its massive body.

In its perception, everything around it had changed.

The original underground space vanished, replaced by an endless crimson purgatory.

Countless resentful Souls and malicious ghosts crawled out from the ground, extending sharp claws to frantically tear at its body and Soul.

The intense pain and the terror originating from the depths of its Divine Soul caused it to emit a silent roar.

The demonic power light orb condensed to its limit in its mouth also suddenly collapsed due to the loss of mental composure, and the violent energy exploded inside its mouth.

"Rumble!"

The giant python's lower jaw was blown into a bloody mess, charred black all over.

Zhao Ruoan's figure had long since closed in on the giant python's seven-inch fatal spot at the exact same time he cast the illusion.

The Great Dao Scripture and his self-created sword Cultivation Technique circulated once again.

The gold-cyan dual-colored sword radiance lit up for the third time.

This time, the two streams of sword radiance were no longer connected back-to-back, but instead bizarrely merged into one.

The volume of the sword radiance shrank several times, but it became even more condensed. The sharpness contained within it caused the surrounding space to ripple.

"Slash."

Zhao Ruoan spat out a single icy syllable.

The fused sword radiance precisely pierced into the hard scales at the giant python's seven-inch spot.

"Pfft!"

Without the slightest obstruction.

The sword radiance pierced straight through the body, coming out from the other side of the giant python.

The giant python's massive body trembled violently. In its scarlet pupils, all the madness and tyranny rapidly receded, replaced by dead silence.

It didn't even have time to let out a miserable scream.

The crashing snake body smashed a huge shallow pit into the ground, and the stirred-up dust and smoke proclaimed the complete end of the second Peak Spirit Sea Realm Yao Beast.

From the moment Zhao Ruoan made his move to the execution of the two Peak great yaos, the entire process took less than the time it took to burn an incense stick.

On the other side, Lin Bingyao's battle situation had fallen into a stalemate.

Her figure was graceful, her longsword spinning blooming scarlet sword flowers in her hand. Fierce flame Sword Qi crisscrossed, firmly pinning down two Late Stage Spirit Sea Realm Yao Beasts.

Her swordsmanship was exquisite, integrating offense and defense.

Every time she swung her sword, she could precisely force back the Yao Beasts' fierce attacks or leave a charred wound on their bodies.

However, the Physical Body of the Late Stage Spirit Sea Realm Yao Beasts was simply too formidable, and their vitality was also extremely tenacious.

These injuries were simply not enough to be fatal.

Instead, it stimulated their ferocity.

"Roar!"

When the Auras of their two Peak companions completely vanished, the remaining black ape and ink python went completely mad.

They no longer conducted any defense.

It was entirely a fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries and risking their lives for lives.

The black ape abandoned its clumsy fists, spreading its ten fingers. Its knife-sharp nails gleamed with a cold light as it unleashed a tempestuous tearing assault on Lin Bingyao.

The ink python coiled its body, launching fearless impacts over and over again with its huge head.

The sudden shift in battle rhythm caused Lin Bingyao's pressure to soar abruptly.

Failing to dodge in time, the sleeve of her left arm was slashed open by the ape's sharp claws, leaving five shallow bloodstains on her snowy-white skin.

A heart-piercing pain washed over her.

Just at the instant her mind was slightly disturbed, the black ape seized the opportunity.

With a roar, its massive body leaped high into the air, and a fist larger than a human gathered all its demonic power, smashing down fiercely toward the top of Lin Bingyao's head!

If this punch were to hit solidly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

For the first time, paleness surfaced on Lin Bingyao's face.

She wanted to dodge, but her body's reaction couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed.

At the critical moment of hanging by a thread,

a figure appeared before her without warning.

It was Zhao Ruoan.

He raised his right fist and punched straight up to meet that giant ape's fist.

Compared to the black ape's mountain-like size, his fist appeared so minuscule.

"Bang——!!!"

A loud bang echoed throughout the entire space.

Lin Bingyao only felt a violent wave of air rushing toward her face, blowing her long hair into disarray and making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.

As the air wave dispersed,

she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

Zhao Ruoan stood in place, his figure as steady as Mount Tai, not even the corner of his clothes fluttering.

Meanwhile, that aggressive Late Stage Spirit Sea Realm black ape was like being hit head-on by a flying mountain.

Its thick arm was twisted at a bizarre angle, and the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible.

Its massive body was blasted flying dozens of meters away by the terrifying force contained in this punch, crashing heavily against the distant stone wall with a loud bang, and then sliding to the ground like a puddle of mud, twitching a few times before losing all breath.

A single punch.

Merely a single punch.

A powerful Late Stage Spirit Sea Realm Yao Beast was beaten to death alive by pure Physical Body strength.

Lin Bingyao felt her brain was running a bit short on capacity.

"This guy... is he even human?"

The remaining Late Stage Spirit Sea Realm ink python was also frightened out of its wits by this bloody and brutal scene.

How could it dare to have any lingering Battle Intent? Twisting its massive body, it wanted to flee toward the shadows from whence it came.

Zhao Ruoan did not give it this opportunity.

He formed his fingers into a sword and casually waved them.

A cyan sword radiance pierced through the void, arriving later yet reaching first, instantly catching up to the fleeing ink python and passing straight through the middle of its head.

The ink python's fleeing figure came to an abrupt halt, then it heavily crashed onto the ground with no more breath.

At this point, all four guardian Yao Beasts were completely wiped out.

The entire underground space restored its previous tranquility.

Zhao Ruoan shook his fist and turned to look at Lin Bingyao, who was still stunned in place.

"Are you alright?" he asked casually.

Lin Bingyao opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

She looked at Zhao Ruoan.

The two Yao Beasts that she had exhausted all her strength and even ended up in a somewhat disheveled state to barely hold back—

in this man's hands, it was one punch per beast.

The gap was simply too huge, wasn't it?

She even began to doubt whether her proud talent and cultivation were a joke.

"You... just what kind of monster are you..."

After a long while, Lin Bingyao squeezed these words out from between her teeth.

"Routine operation."

Zhao Ruoan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
