Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 762 Aren’t You Afraid of Old Monster?

At this thought, Nangong He had decided to burn his bridges and put all efforts into a final struggle, instantly pushing his cultivation power to its limit and striking out in a flash. He clung to the slim hope that Li Deming, despite his breakthrough, had not reached the level of the Old Monster. If he could only injure Li Deming first, then it might be possible to control the situation that followed; otherwise, the Nangong Family would truly be without hope.

Nangong He moved like lightning, covering dozens of meters in an instant. His fist, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, carried an overwhelmingly domineering momentum towards Li Deming. The sheer force of the punch stirred up layers of spinning air around Nangong He, and his fist even started to produce phantom images, showing the terrifying power behind the punch...

This punch was the Nangong Family’s signature technique, known as the Shocking Dragon Divine Fist. Nearly every strong member of the Nangong Family could execute it, but from Nangong He’s hand, it was of an entirely different realm. The air seemed to solidify around it, carrying an aura of absolute suppression. It made the people of the Li Family feel as though they were facing a real dragon’s roar, an unstoppable momentum. Even the three S-rank experts from the Li Family had to elevate their cultivation power to resist this indescribable pressure.

In just an instant, Nangong He had charged up to Li Deming, his powerful fist extended flatly as though a roaring flood dragon, with a thunderous rumble aiming for Li Deming’s chest.

"Courting death!" Seeing Nangong He’s sudden move, Li Deming didn’t care in the slightest and uttered a cold rebuke. At the same time, his aura burst forth, his True Qi blowing about and scattering a wave of energy around him like a War God. He met Nangong He’s fist with what seemed like a gentle punch, devoid of any extravagant momentum, seemingly thrown casually, yet it went directly against Nangong He’s exaggerated punch.

In Li Deming’s view, having successfully advanced to the late S stage, this transformation was something he had personally experienced. His own strength had increased by no small amount compared to before. Hence, he didn’t take Nangong He’s ultimate technique too seriously. Nangong He had never been his match before and was even less so now. It wasn’t necessary to use all his strength against Nangong He, but Li Deming wasn’t careless, either. Although his punch was made with ease, the seventy percent strength he used was sufficient to defeat Nangong He without a problem.

Seeing Li Deming like this only made Nangong He inwardly smile. Although his strength was far less than Li Deming’s, how could the Nangong Clan, with its centuries of foundation, not have some hidden techniques up its sleeve? Today’s choice to use the Shocking Dragon Divine Fist was not without reason—it was to make Li Deming drop his guard. The Shocking Dragon Divine Fist, mixed with a skill unknown to others from the Nangong Clan—the God-Annihilating Strike—an ancient skill passed down from antiquity. When these two techniques were combined, the resulting power was capable of exceeding his current abilities.

The most important point was the concealability of the God-Annihilating Strike. It was a special technique for compressing True Qi, and outsiders could not see it. This was his sole reliance on being confident in injuring Li Deming. As long as he could meet Li Deming’s fist head-on, everything should proceed in the direction he anticipated. Once Li Deming was injured, perhaps the Nangong Clan could really be saved today.

At this thought, Nangong He compressed his True Qi to the extreme within his body, resolved to bet everything on this single punch. There was only this one chance—if this punch succeeded, then all his efforts would not have been in vain. If he did not succeed, he would accept his fate; the Nangong Family no longer had a way back...

"Bang!"

The collision of the two fists was unquestionable, sending a heaven-shattering boom. All the others present felt as if their eardrums might burst from the impact. The resulting airstream from the point of contact created a devastating shockwave that blasted across the ground, covering a radius of several hundred meters. Everyone’s clothes fluttered in the blast, and even some of the weaker AAA-ranking experts were shaken to the core, feeling pain in their internal organs!

Everyone instinctively shut their eyes at that moment and covered them with their hands, shocked at the power of the shockwave that far exceeded everyone’s expectations; their minds were completely stunned, losing the ability to think...

When people opened their eyes again, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.

At the spot where the fists had collided, the bluestone-paved road had been shattered into a cracked pattern by the sheer force of the impact, forming a crater about ten meters in diameter and nearly one meter deep. Keep in mind that this was made of half-meter squared bluestones laid on the ground, and to see such damage caused one to refrain from even imagining what normal earth would look like!

What shocked them even more was that the Ancestor of Li Family was also flung into the crowd of the Li Family, knocking over several members before stopping. The Old Monster from the Nangong Clan was thrown over fifty meters away, crashing into the crowd of the Nangong Family.

Heaven!

Is... Is this the true strength of a master?

It’s really too exaggerated, how could there be such power...

...

Everyone present, including the S-class experts from both the Li Family and the Nangong Family, were all stunned by the incredibly powerful punch, they knew the Ancestor of Li Family and the Ancestor of Nangong Family were true super masters whose strength was far beyond theirs and anticipated that the collision of their fists would be extravagant; but they could never imagine it being to such an extent. The mere shockwaves produced by the fists colliding already possessed such might, then... if one were to be hit by such a punch, even an average S-class expert might die instantly!

It’s really too amazing. This is the true master! This is the true peak master!

The hearts of the crowd were immensely shaken by the scene before them, and it was in this moment that they came to realize just what level the Ancestor of Li Family and the Ancestor of Nangong Family had reached, a level they couldn’t even begin to comprehend!

"Good, Nangong He, I didn’t expect you to injure me, but do you think that’s enough?" Li Deming stood up, his face now an iron-like solemn green. He truly hadn’t expected Nangong He to possess such strength. Had he not detected something peculiar in Nangong He’s fist at the moment of impact, prompting him to make some adjustments, he could have very well been at a disadvantage under Nangong He’s hands today.

Even so, Li Deming discovered a problem, his right hand was now temporarily unusable. The arm had suffered a severe injury from that fierce punch, leaving his entire hand feeling extremely weak and sending waves of intense pain through him. This enraged Li Deming even further; he had thought that defeating Nangong He would be effortless after his breakthrough, and had never dreamed he would be injured by him, which felt like a tremendous humiliation!

At this point, Li Deming was thoroughly infuriated and didn’t wish to hold back any longer. As he rose from the ground, he roared at Nangong He, determined to cripple him here today and take over the Nangong Family, or else his injury would have been for nothing!

"Li Deming, you... no need to frighten anyone here, your... your one hand is already... already immobilized." Nangong He had been helped up by the Nangong Family, speaking to Li Deming in a tone neither light nor heavy. However, his face had turned deathly pale, the sleeve of his right arm was gone, and blood was seeping out from the entire limb, covered in fresh red. Even the corner of Nangong He’s mouth was dripping with blood.

That strike had been with all of Nangong He’s might, and only he knew how terrifying Li Deming’s strength was. Managing to injure Li Deming’s arm under such circumstances was already the best outcome possible. Not only was Nangong He externally wounded, but he had also sustained serious internal injuries and was in unbearable pain throughout his body. However, at this critical moment, as the mainstay of the Nangong Family, he could not fall, or the Nangong Family would be truly finished.

Hearing Li Deming’s roar, Nangong He had no choice but to respond. Right now, let alone fighting with Li Deming, if it weren’t for sheer determination holding him up, he might have already lain down. Li Deming’s strength was just too terrifying. According to Nangong He’s estimation, even if there was a gap between Li Deming and the Old Monster, it wasn’t far off. He never expected Li Deming to be so formidable, leaving Nangong He at a loss for words.

But as the Ancestor of the Nangong Family, he had to take responsibility, so he could only endure the pain and find a way to preserve the Nangong Family!

"With you in this condition, who else could be my match? It doesn’t matter if one arm is out of commission; I still have another hand. To deal with the rest of your Nangong Family, one hand is more than enough!" Li Deming looked at Nangong He’s wounds, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth. Nangong He was the only one deemed a worthy opponent; now that Nangong He was injured and in such a state, one hand would be sufficient to handle the rest!

"You... aren’t you afraid that the Old Monster will find out about this and come after you?" Nangong He spoke feebly, but in order to protect the Nangong Family, he had to drive Li Deming away no matter what, so now he could only invoke the Old Monster, hoping it would intimidate Li Deming.

"The Old Monster, what a joke. That old undead only loiters around Capital City, and who has seen him? Everyone who has is already dead. Don’t try to scare me with him. I’ll deal with you now and see how the Old Monster will come to help you." Li Deming, upon hearing Nangong He bring up the Old Monster, felt amused. Everyone knew the Old Monster wouldn’t leave Capital City, and he was not someone ordinary people could meet. Li Deming had encountered the Old Monster just once decades ago, and now, no one even knows whether the Old Monster is dead or alive.
