414: Chapter 414 The Power of Upgraded Palm Technique: Tearing Through Armor

At an altitude of over three hundred meters, the gale howled, and the torrential rain poured down like a waterfall.

Innumerable shattered glass fragments converged here, forming a deadly tornado spinning at high speed around the building.

Sharp fragments rolled and collided within it, emitting a teeth-gritting grinding sound.

Every time it brushed past the curtain wall, large areas of tempered glass shattered in response, and countless debris splashed outward.

But before they could fall, they were pulled by an invisible force, merging into the storm and making this destructive vortex grow even larger.

A figure wearing a white yaksha mask shuttled and leaped continuously within this death zone.

Using his hands locked onto the external wall's horizontal keel as an axis, the muscle groups in his shoulders and back bulged and exerted force.

His entire body bounced upward, drawing an arc in the air as he tried to jump to another support point ten meters away.

However.

That glass storm followed him like a shadow, as if it could anticipate his every landing point.

Before he reached the target, countless fragments had already turned into a dense barrage of bullets, piercingly shrieking as they shot toward him.

The Masked Man forcibly twisted his body mid-air, dodging most of the attacks at an unbelievable angle.

Then, relying on his astonishing finger strength, his five fingers, like steel hooks, inserted into the gaps of the exposed alloy load-bearing pillars.

Zizizi——

Sparks flew everywhere, and his fingers frictioned against the metal with a piercing screech.

His figure paused abruptly under the impact force, then firmly locked onto this almost completely vertical facade.

Fang Cheng adhered firmly to the outer wall of the skyscraper like a gecko.

Beneath his feet were brightly lit streets.

Overhead were rolling and roaring dark clouds.

The torrential rain poured down, soaking his entire body, and raindrops continuously slid down his knife-carved muscle lines.

Not far ahead of him, Minister Luo Lie floated in mid-air.

The tornado formed by the glass was like a docile guard, surrounding his body and completely isolating the raging wind and rain.

It was as if this high altitude intertwined with wind and rain was his true home turf.

Seeing that the attacks were ineffective, he stood with his hands hanging down, stepping on the air with both feet, and looked down condescendingly at Fang Cheng.

"Do you really think that with that bit of brute force, you can contend with me?"

Minister Luo Lie's voice was torn apart by the wind, carrying a hint of contempt in his words.

At this moment, although his suit was tattered, his face was pale, and a trace of blood still hung at the corner of his mouth, his expression appeared unhurried instead.

Gone was the embarrassment of only being able to passively counterattack inside the building previously.

Fang Cheng hung on the wall with one hand, casually wiping his rainwater-soaked bald head with the other.

The corners of his mouth behind the mask hooked into an arc:

"If you have the guts, let's go into the building and fight again."

The huge LED on the opposite tall building cast bizarre reflections on the wet glass curtain wall.

Under the reflection of the neon lights, his naked body presented a bronze luster, with every muscle distinct and angular, full of an indescribable masculine aesthetic.

Even while being on the outer wall of a building hundreds of meters high, a slight slip could lead to smashing into pieces.

Fang Cheng's tone remained relaxed, as if he were playing around in an amusement park.

That calmness stemmed from absolute self-confidence in his own strength.

After all, nearly 1,000 single-finger Pull-ups every day were not practiced in vain.

Minister Luo Lie's expression froze upon hearing this.

He now grasped air supremacy, able to advance to attack and retreat to defend, which could be said to occupy an undefeatable position.

Only a fool would give up this excellent advantage and return to the narrow interior to play close-quarters combat with this monster.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The psychokinetic coat enveloping his body flickered slightly with light, much dimmer than before.

Minister Luo Lie had always thought that White Owl had used some kind of secret technique to forcibly burn his vitality, which could not last for a long time.

As long as he relied on the power of his Domain, gritted his teeth and persisted, he could wear the other party to death.

However, White Owl's state at this moment was completely opposite to his expectations.

This fellow not only had astonishing explosive power, but his physical stamina was also unimaginably abundant.

Just now in the Inner World, his defense was almost completely beaten down by the other party's machine-gun-like high-speed combo punches.

Fortunately, he finally broke away from that ghost place, and heaven and earth became vast.

Now he could come and go freely, and it was also easier to execute psychokinesis and control surrounding objects.

Woo-woo——Woo-woo——

A harsh siren came from below.

Minister Luo Lie overlooked the street beneath his feet.

More and more onlookers gathered, dense enough to form a colorful sea of umbrellas.

Police personnel arrived here successively, maintaining order.

Perhaps the experts of the Special Investigation Team would arrive soon...

Thinking of this, Minister Luo Lie's eyes narrowed slightly.

To be honest, he could completely turn around and leave right now, withdrawing leisurely.

As for the guy clinging to the wall like a gecko, he could only stare blankly and be completely helpless.

But Minister Luo Lie was unwilling to just leave like this!

He was a dignified S-rank expert and a member of the Board of Directors of the Noah Organization; how could he be scared away by a guy who only knew how to use brute force?

The dignity of a powerhouse did not allow him to retreat like this.

Otherwise, if there were a stain in his state of mind, his future path would definitely be difficult, and there would even be the risk of Qi Deviation.

Minister Luo Lie gritted his teeth secretly.

Right now, he could just take advantage of the regained situation to seize the time to recover his Mental Energy.

Then, using his most powerful fatal move, he would hack this monster in front of him into pieces and blast him into slag to vent the hatred in his heart.

The rain threads were blown obliquely by the high-altitude turbulent wind, weaving an endless gray curtain net.

The two of them confronted each other at the top of the building like this, both secretly recovering.

Creak——

A teeth-gritting sound of metal twisting rang out, as if a pair of pliers were snapping steel bars.

Minister Luo Lie's pupils shrank sharply, and an extremely dangerous aura made all the hair on his body stand on end.

Fang Cheng, hanging on the outer wall, saw his five fingers slowly tighten, and the muscles all over his body tensed up in a visible way.

The robust Qi and blood inside the opponent's body began to burn once again at this moment.

Bang!

Before he could react, Fang Cheng exerted sudden force with both legs.

The alloy load-bearing pillar beneath his feet was kicked inward, twisting and concave by him, and large areas of tempered glass instantly shattered into powder.

Centered on his landing point, the cracks on the entire glass curtain wall spread rapidly like a spiderweb, unexpectedly forming a huge circular impact crater.

Borrowing this terrifying reaction force, his entire body was like a cannonball leaving the chamber, tearing through the rain screen and shooting violently toward Minister Luo Lie, who was floating in the air.

"You're courting death!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Minister Luo Lie's eyes, which was immediately replaced by wild joy.

A Mortal who could not fly actually dared to voluntarily abandon his foothold and rush into the air.

This was simply walking right into a trap!

With a thought in his mind, the speed of the glass storm surrounding his body soared instantly.

Then, carrying a piercing screech, it closed in from all directions, completely sealing off all of Fang Cheng's retreats.

It transformed into a net of death, vowing to cut him into countless pieces.

In mid-air, Fang Cheng did not dodge or evade. The skin of his right arm instantly turned crimson, and the air in front of his fist was violently compressed, making a sonic boom.

Invisible flames burned all over his body, resembling a missile whistling across the night sky.

Boom!

He abruptly blasted open a pathway in the glass storm with his fist.

Countless fragments were shattered by the wind of his fist, but even more fragments still brushed across his body, leaving behind bloodstains of varying depths.

The excruciating pain did not make him retreat; instead, it made the crimson eyes behind the mask even more fervent.

Under their eye contact, a scene of their initial clash inside the building instantly emerged in Minister Luo Lie's mind.

He had been sent flying backward with a single punch, smashing through several walls consecutively.

That peerless power made his heart beat wildly, and he quickly brought his hands together, further urging his psychokinesis.

The raging glass storm suddenly shrank, turning into a thick shield to block in front of him.

However, Fang Cheng's fist still rampaged forward with unstoppable force.

With a loud boom!

The Iron Fist smashed into the shield without any fancy tricks, and the glass shield compressed by psychokinesis only supported for half a second before completely shattering.

That peerless impact force was like a high-speed train pushing against Minister Luo Lie, causing him to float backward uncontrollably.

"You think this can get close to my body? Naive!"

Minister Luo Lie roared sternly.

Just as if confirming his words, the impact force of the fist began to weaken rapidly after shattering the shield.

The distance was too far after all, and the kinetic energy of this leap also had its limits.

Fang Cheng's fist edge was firmly blocked by a layer of invisible psychokinetic coat less than two centimeters away from Minister Luo Lie's skin.

At the same time, gravity began to take effect, and the momentum of Fang Cheng's charge was exhausted, about to start falling.

Minister Luo Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly:

"An insect without wings can only fall downward in the end..."

Before his words fell, his pupils shrank sharply into a needle tip.

He saw that Fang Cheng did not fall.

Actually... just like him, stepping on the air with both feet, floating in the sky.

Minister Luo Lie's brain crashed instantly, not knowing how the opponent accomplished this.

Could it be that White Owl actually had Flight ability as well, and had just been playing with him all along?

"This is the moment!"

Fang Cheng's eyes lit up, and all the pores on his body opened abruptly.

Accompanied by thunder-like sounds, a visible white steam sprayed out from them.

These high-temperature steams formed a powerful recoil force behind him.

Allowing his entire body, without any leverage point, to erupt once again like a jet airplane, rushing straight toward Minister Luo Lie who was close at hand.

The moment a person is most self-righteous is the moment when their defense is most lax.

Just now hanging on the outer wall of the building, Fang Cheng accumulated strength with one hand and unleashed the Qilin Arm precisely to smoothly get close.

And now, it was time to decide the victory!

Fang Cheng took a deep breath, and the True Qi within his Dantian operated majestically.

He quickly changed from a fist to a palm. The five fingers of his right hand merged like a Knife-hand, and a layer of azure light lit up on the edge, stabbing straight at Minister Luo Lie's chest.

Spiral Energy!

The highly compressed True Qi formed a rapidly rotating air vortex at his fingertips, specializing in breaking solid defenses.

Chi——

Under this Knife-hand, Minister Luo Lie's psychokinetic coat was actually like a steel plate drilled by a high-speed drill, instantly pierced with a hole.

He only felt a pain in his chest, and in terror, he flew back rapidly, wanting to shake off the opponent.

But Fang Cheng's left hand had already followed up, his five fingers spread open like an eagle's claw, grabbing firmly onto the torn opening.

Silk-Reeling Energy!

The True Qi penetrated in like a spiderweb. Once it contacted the target, it wrapped around layer by layer, locking everything down.

A viscous and tenacious force instantly blocked the psychokinetic coat that wanted to repair itself, attaching to the opponent's body surface.

Minister Luo Lie only felt that his chest was wrapped by countless invisible steel wires, unable to move.

Fang Cheng stuck to his front like a shadow, exerting force with both arms and tearing violently to both sides.

"No!"

Minister Luo Lie felt the tingling pain coming from his skin.

That was a dangerous signal that the psychokinetic coat was being forcibly torn apart, and even the skin and flesh suffered trauma.

He burst out all his psychokinesis in panic. Taking himself as the center, an invisible aura suddenly expanded.

Within the Domain, the air became viscous and heavy.

Fang Cheng only felt a terrifying oppressive force attacking from all directions.

It was as if countless hands were tearing and squeezing his body, making every inch of his bones groan.

Just at this moment, the muscles, tendons, and bones of Fang Cheng's entire body instantly vibrated at an extremely high frequency.

That oppressive force from all directions was actually instantly shattered by this single move.

It even transmitted to the palms, further deepening the intensity of tearing the psychokinetic coat.

Elastic Shaking Energy!

Accumulating the strength of the whole body in an instant and then erupting can neutralize impacts and also shatter restraints.

This was the true advantage of the Palm Technique!

Fists pursued ultimate impact and destruction, while palms had endless changes.

Piercing, tearing, grabbing, and oscillating—in the current close-quarters combat at high altitude where leverage could not be found, they were far more threatening and destructive than mere fists.

After the Palm Technique skill was upgraded to the expert level, Fang Cheng's application of Qi energy had reached a Realm of doing whatever he wanted and executing a fatal move upon striking.

Minister Luo Lie fell into complete panic. He crazily urged his psychokinesis and executed his Domain in an attempt to throw Fang Cheng off.

The two began to rotate at high speed in the air like an out-of-control top.

The surrounding rain and gale were also stirred into a huge vortex.

Minister Luo Lie's psychokinetic coat flickered brightly and dimly, flashing rapidly.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound rang out, and that defense, which was like individual powered armor, was finally completely torn apart.

"Ah!"

His brain felt a piercing pain like steel needles, and a mouthful of blood spewed out.

At the last moment, he bit the tip of his tongue and used the remaining psychokinesis to control several high-pressure Qi blades, slashing toward Fang Cheng's neck.

Cold light mixed with the fierce wind struck.

Fang Cheng felt a fatal threat and had to temporarily let go to dodge.

Yet his body was still slashed with several wounds deep enough to see bone.

The two entangled in the air separated instantly.

The huge kinetic energy of high-speed rotation made the two like two cannonballs, slamming fiercely into the two skyscrapers facing each other across the street.

Bang! Bang!

At almost the same moment, two muffled loud bangs exploded at high altitude.

Concrete dust mixed with glass fragments, like two gray fireworks, suddenly exploded from the outer walls of the buildings.

On the street, everyone raised their heads, watching this extraordinary scene with shock all over their faces.

"They... crashed into the building!"

Xiaosa's heart leaped into his throat.

Gao Jin had also just arrived downstairs at the Noah Building at this moment.

He looked up at the two pitch-black holes, his expression solemn to the extreme.

A moment later.

Opposite the Noah Building, at the gap knocked out of the office building, a figure wearing a white yaksha mask slowly appeared.

He stood at the edge of the breach over three hundred meters high, glanced at the crowd below as tiny as ants, and suddenly leaped forward!

"Ah——"

The exclamations below merged into one piece.

However, that figure did not fall as expected.

Mid-air, his body suddenly unfolded like a huge pterodactyl, actually gliding against the howling gale and torrential rain.

He accurately glided across a block of hundreds of meters, landing steadily into the breach of the opposite Noah Building.

That was precisely the gap knocked out by Minister Luo Lie earlier.

On the street, all the exclamations stopped abruptly, as if time had been pressed the pause button.

People all raised their heads with their mouths wide open, but could not make any sound, letting the rainwater fall into their mouths.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Noah Building, it was pitch black.

Only sharp alarm sounds echoed in the empty corridors.

Minister Luo Lie covered his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The immense impact force almost shattered his internal organs, and every breath carried a bloody smell.

The excruciating pain of broken ribs made his vision turn black in bursts.

But he still ran forward desperately.

Ahead was the experimental area.

"Almost there, almost there..."

Minister Luo Lie muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of desire besides panic.

Right at this moment, at the end of the darkness in the far distance, a trace of red light flashed without warning.

That light was very small, yet like a branding iron, it scorched Minister Luo Lie's retina.

His heart tightened, and ignoring the excruciating pain, he crazily accelerated his steps.

crimson eye!
