Chapter 1916 - 1898: Why Did He Self-Destruct?
"You can’t kill me. I’ve been pondering this—just for your useless brother and for your so-called pride, you’ve driven yourself to such extremes to kill me. Do you think it’s all worth it?" Fang Yan looked at Fang Pu and asked calmly.
These were the words Fang Yan deliberately said. It would be easy to kill Fang Pu, but he needed everyone to understand that Fang Pu was the one who wanted to kill him. He had already done everything possible, and by observing Fang Pu’s physical state, Fang Yan gave a faint smile. He knew that Fang Pu was ready to risk everything, but even in desperation, Fang Pu had no chance.
Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, Fang Pu felt a surge of emotion. He hadn’t considered this question before, but quickly brushed it aside. It wasn’t about worth; his brother’s life, his father’s position as Clan Leader, and his own honor—all these added up, leaving him with no choice but to fight Fang Yan to the death. Therefore, there was no question of worth.
Thinking of this, Fang Pu looked at Fang Yan and said coldly, "There’s no question of worth in any of this. As a son and a brother, I must do this. Fang Yan, even if I die today, I’ll take you down with me!"
After finishing his words, a red Gang Qi suddenly erupted from Fang Pu’s body, extremely eerie. At the same time, his blackened skin began to peel off entirely, making him look like a blood-soaked man, sinister and frightening, with an overwhelming odor of blood.
"Fang Yan, you forced me to this!" With a loud shout, Fang Pu’s body began to expand rapidly, his eyes bursting in an instant, spraying two streams of blood swords directly at Fang Yan! An indescribable ferocity spread from his body...
Effortlessly dodging the two blood swords, Fang Yan frowned, puzzled by Fang Pu’s current state. However, his instincts told him something was definitely wrong. At once, Fang Yan’s Gang Qi began to circulate, the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art exploding, enveloping a hundred feet around him in flames like a raging inferno.
But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!
Fang Pu’s body had swelled to twice its previous size. Meanwhile, in mid-air, Fang Yan’s blood miraculously condensed into a blood-red long blade. Once the blood-red blade appeared, a dazzling red light covered the whole valley, turning the entire space blood-red, as if entering the legendary Hell!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, blood-red flames appeared on the blade, with an eerie red glow veiling the entire valley in darkness. In the valley, nothing was visible; not even Fang Yan’s Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art could prevent the spread of this red light, and it was engulfed instantly!
Oh heavens!
What kind of move is this!
How can it be like this...
...
Several Elders of the Fang Family were stunned by the sight in the sky. The terrifying scene was unheard of, leaving them baffled, but they could feel the absolute terror of this technique, potentially Fang Pu’s ultimate move. Under such a technique, it seemed unlikely Fang Yan could survive...
Not good!
Alarm rose within Fang Yan as his Divine Sense was blocked, unable to detect anything, and the red light thoroughly obscured his vision. In this blood-red world, Fang Yan was completely lost. It was easy to foresee that, should Fang Pu attack now, he would be utterly defenseless!
At that moment, Fang Yan felt an overwhelming pressure surging from behind. With no other option, he could only dodge forward, not knowing what it was, yet aware it couldn’t be anything good.
To Fang Yan’s astonishment, even though his speed had increased exponentially, he couldn’t outrun the attack behind him. This urgency spurred a sudden thought!
Suddenly, Fang Yan’s hands conjured a Sunburst each. Under his control, the two Sunbursts forcibly merged. Just as the invisible pressure struck, he hurled them with incredible speed!
"Boom!"
In an instant, a massive explosion occurred, dissipating much of the red light within the valley. Violent shockwaves blasted in all directions, once again turning the valley into a living Hell, with explosions everywhere and the ground trembling as if in an apocalypse!
Simultaneously, the flickering flames that had just diminished began to soar throughout the valley, plunging it once more into its previous chaotic state. If not for the fact that the valley was a closed ring, the roaring waves of molten rock might have surged outward...
"Pu!"
In an unexpected moment, even Fang Yan was affected, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. Meanwhile, in another direction, a blood-red shadow slammed directly into a mountain range like a red beam.
What on earth is happening?
Fang Yan’s face had already turned icy cold. If it weren’t for him coming up with the method to integrate Sunburst at the last moment, he might have been slain by Fang Pu. That red beam was undoubtedly Fang Pu. Fang Pu’s move was indeed formidable, not only capable of sealing one’s five senses but also hindering Divine Sense. If it weren’t for encountering him, other people might not even know how they died.
He moved with his figure shooting towards Fang Pu’s location, coldness on his face. He wanted to figure out what exactly was happening.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yan appeared beside the cave Fang Pu had smashed into, looking at the bloody and mangled Fang Pu inside, he asked calmly: "What happened just now, how are you able to use this, it’s not the Cultivation Technique of Divine Sword Sect!"
Upon hearing Fang Yan’s voice, the bloodied Fang Pu slowly raised his head, the two bloody cavities in his eyes looked extremely sinister, and the skin was already gone, blood flowing everywhere, making Fang Pu look like a demon emerging from Hell’s blood pool.
"I... I never thought even Blood Soul Termination couldn’t kill you..."
Fang Pu couldn’t finish his words, truly feeling frustrated to the point of death. In this mission, he had obtained a Secret Technique called Blood Soul Termination from a cave dwelling, which when activated exchanged one’s life force for powerful strength. To say the least, once executed, he could kill any opponent instantly. Because under Blood Soul Termination, the opponent’s five senses are lost and even Divine Sense is severely hindered, allowing him to move freely in the bloody space. It was simply not a fair fight, especially since his power skyrocketed more than twice as much after performing Blood Soul Termination!
He genuinely wasn’t content, never would have expected Fang Yan to erupt with such strength in this situation, breaking through his Blood Soul Termination, which was his final move. Now his body was completely wrecked, even if he could restore himself in time, he would never be the original Fang Pu again!
Since he wouldn’t be the original Fang Pu, what was the point of living? Thinking of this, Fang Pu suddenly laughed manically: "Hahahaha..."
Suddenly, red light emerged from Fang Pu’s body, and the red light was extremely rampant. Shortly after, numerous Gang Qi erupted, then began to infuse into Fang Pu’s body...
Not good, he’s going to self-destruct!
Seeing Fang Pu in this state, Fang Yan’s expression drastically changed. Although his current power was very strong, if Fang Pu self-destructed, he would still be severely injured. After all, Fang Pu was a late-stage Human Immortal Realm expert whose Gang Qi was terrifyingly immense. Now having performed the unknown Blood Soul Termination Secret Technique, the self-destruction’s power would be extraordinary!
There wasn’t time to contemplate too much. Instantly, Fang Yan waved a single hand, a Gang Qi resembling a giant bell shot towards Fang Pu, enveloping Fang Pu immediately. Simultaneously, Fang Yan tried to cover himself with as much Gang Qi as possible, defending against the imminent danger.
"Boom!"
A sound like tearing the sky rang out, followed by the appearance of overwhelming red light erupting from the cave and swiftly spreading, covering the entire valley in the blink of an eye. The mountain range where the cave was located couldn’t withstand this terrifying power, subsequently collapsing completely!
"Boom!"
The whole mountain range vanished instantly, a tremendous mushroom cloud mushrooming into the sky, while an utterly terrifying shockwave traveled through the prior mountain range, charging towards the distant forest. The roaring shockwave, akin to a monstrous wave, mixed with a bloody scent, ended up destroying dozens of miles of surrounding forest.
Even the aforementioned valley was now less than half remaining. The consequences were how severe the self-destruction caused by Fang Pu, thanks to Fang Yan’s quick reaction using the Gang Qi barrier to delay the self-destruction momentarily. Otherwise, Fang Yan might have been blown up by it, but even so, Fang Yan felt as if his body was subjected to a super impact, his whole body embedded into a stone wall.
"Damn it, how could he just self-destruct?"
Fang Yan said in annoyance, later stepping out of the stone wall. Truth be told, he was really vexed; originally thinking to play around with Fang Pu after breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm, unexpectedly Fang Pu could not handle it, chose to self-destruct, leaving his plan to have a proper fight in vain.
He stepped up into the air, glancing at the ruined valley and forest, privately sighed. The destructive power, luckily, was not on Earth. If the Immortal Realm army were to invade Earth, who knows what state Earth would be in.
Suddenly he remembered those Fang Family elders hiding in the shadows. Looking up, the hidden location had long since disappeared, and the elders’ aura had vanished without a trace. Undoubtedly, they were blown up by Fang Pu’s self-destruction. It was a nice way to die, saving Fang Yan from having to act.
As he thought of these matters, several beams of light suddenly shot over from a distance, surprisingly the Sect-Protecting Guard Squad of Divine Sword Sect, led by the black-faced man Fang Yan had met before.
