Chapter 134 - 133: Indestructible Demon Body, Return

On the plains, the battle between Fang Can and Wang Peng raged on.

The princess's escort, which had scattered and fled, had already used their superior leg strength as Martial Artists to return to Cangren City.

When questioned by the city's defending general and the Martial Artists who had not yet dispersed, the messenger reported that the attacker was at the Profound Gate Ninth Layer and possibly part of a rebellion from an enemy nation.

Before leaving to deliver the message, they had only caught a fleeting glimpse, but they had still seen Fang Can clashing with the attacker.

In their eyes, if the attacker couldn't even take down a mere Transcendent Body like Fang Can, then at best, he was just a slightly stronger Profound Gate Ninth Layer expert.

Because of this, the massive crowd of Martial Artists who had previously gathered at the city gates began to rush over on their own accord.

Among them were even two Martial Artists from the top three hundred of the Hidden Dragon Rankings who had come to challenge Fang Can.

But as these Martial Artists approached the battlefield, the situation they perceived was completely different.

The path was littered with craters, formed by the terrifying force of their clashing fists and feet being transmitted into the earth.

Now, trapped and surrounded by a veritable army, Wang Peng showed no hesitation. Instead, his face lit up with joy as he said, "Perfect timing!"

As he spoke, he crouched down and slammed his right arm into the ground.

A terrifying wave of Gang Qi shot out. With him at the center, the ground rippled like the surface of the sea. Any Martial Artist within a ten-meter radius had their legs instantly twisted and shattered by the force.

Amidst the screams, the hearts of the remaining Martial Artists seemed to stop as they stared in terror at the now-tranquil patch of grass.

"Dammit, what kind of Martial Dao is this? An attack that hits from a distance? It's completely incomprehensible!"

Only Fang Can knew that such a technique was impossible to perform at the Transcendent Body Realm. Even Newton would have to shake his head in disbelief.

Only by reaching the illogical Heaven-Ascending Road Realm could one use an energy medium to launch such an inconceivable attack.

"Fang Can, are you really going to force my hand?"

Wang Peng roared, "If this drags on, at least a thousand people will die in the crossfire! Don't you claim to walk the righteous path? Then stop!"

Even Fang Can was stunned by the man's shamelessness. 'So I guess you didn't start this, and you're not the one killing people, huh?'

As he spoke, Wang Peng stopped trying to flee and instead began to carve a path through the ranks of Martial Artists.

Most of the Martial Artists present were below the Profound Gate Fifth Layer. Even an ordinary Profound Gate Ninth Layer expert couldn't have blocked a casual strike from Wang Peng.

With a difference of at least twenty-fold in physical constitution, these Martial Artists were barely tougher than foam.

With a dense CRACKLE of shattering bones, Wang Peng threw a single punch from a distance. A dozen or so Martial Artists were sent flying into the air amidst their screams, like plastic bags caught in a gale.

Faced with Wang Peng's accusation, Fang Can's eyes were bloodshot, but his expression remained calm as he snorted coldly:

"I possess the three collections of Mahayana Buddhist law. I can guide the deceased to the heavens, deliver the suffering from their hardships, resolve the evils of a hundred banquets, and eliminate undeserved calamities."

"These people have all died because of your sins. After I have vanquished this demon, I will naturally chant the Rebirth Spell to guide their souls."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Peng was utterly enraged.

Fang Can's meaning was obvious: the dead were Wang Peng's sin, while Fang Can would gain merit by delivering their souls.

"Do you really think these people are the only way I can threaten you?"

Wang Peng's gaze fell upon the princess's guards and her fanatically devout followers chanting scriptures in the distance. "I refuse to believe your heart is so cold that you can just sit by and watch them die here."

At his words, Fang Can's expression changed slightly, and half of his body subconsciously moved to shield the princess's guards.

The princess's guards behind him were alarmed and cried out, "Protect the princess!"

"I knew it. You do have a weakness after all." Wang Peng's lips twisted into a savage grin, thinking he had found his leverage.

The next moment, Wang Peng's body shot toward the princess's entourage in the distance like a storm.

On the grasslands, the densely packed Martial Artists watched in terror as Wang Peng charged at them, wanting to fight back.

But to Wang Peng, they weren't even obstacles. Amidst a sky-filling mist of blood, he didn't even bother to dodge, simply using his body to plow a path forward.

A series of explosive BANGS echoed out. Countless severed limbs flew everywhere as Wang Peng became a human meat grinder, tearing through the crowd with his Gang Qi-wreathed body.

Seeing Fang Can standing there with a cold expression, not dodging or evading, Wang Peng felt that victory was already in his grasp.

If Fang Can didn't dodge, he could blast him to smithereens.

If Fang Can did dodge, he could take that princess hostage and escape.

'Fang Can, I hope you don't dodge.' Wang Peng silently prayed. But in the next instant, he saw the corners of the mouth on Fang Can's half-body curl upwards.

"My dear cousin Wang Peng, your timing is perfect." A vicious glint flashed in Fang Can's eyes!

Thanks to the surrounding Martial Artists buying him time with their lives, Fang Can's body modification was beginning to show results.

[Power Module]: 45%!

[Defense Module]: 64%!

[Speed Module]: 92%!

"Indestructible Demon Body, reassemble!!!"

With a great roar, Fang Can's half-body stood its ground and raised its right arm, summoning his scattered body parts to surge toward him.

Some Martial Artists suddenly felt their scalps itch. A boneless right hand was scuttling across their heads, using its fingers as legs to rush back to the main body.

And from the churning earth, an intestine slithered through the soil, dragging a section of spine and a left foot behind it, before leaping out of the ground with a SPLAT.

At Fang Can's call, his various organs returned to him like wanderers coming home, reattaching themselves to his body.

The severed right hand reattached itself to the stump of his right arm, the spine slotted back into his torso, the brain pushed itself back into his skull, and the skeleton reassembled to support his flesh and blood.

Before Wang Peng's widened eyes, Fang Can's body became whole again in a mere instant.

Aside from the fine cracks that covered his body, he looked completely normal.

But only Fang Can himself could understand the difference.

The changes to his body's structure had increased his strength by 4.6 times, his durability by 3.6 times, and his speed by 1.7 times.

With the modification of his body, faint golden specks now shone within Fang Can's blood. His bones were not the color of steel, but of white jade. His eyes resembled translucent red gems, and his hair was streaked with white.

Judging from his cellular arrangement alone, he was no longer entirely human, but rather some kind of more perfect, Extraordinary lifeform.

Watching Wang Peng smash through countless Martial Artists in the distance, Fang Can, for the first time, did not dodge or evade, but met his charge head-on.

"Come on! Weren't you waiting for me?"

Fang Can's ruby-like eyes stared at Wang Peng as he laughed maniacally, "Fine! I won't dodge and I won't run! Let's fight until dawn!"

As he spoke, his fully restored right fist shot out like a cannonball, bypassing Wang Peng's own punch.

"BOOM!"

A violent explosion rang out as both strikes landed simultaneously. Fang Can's fist sank into Wang Peng's cheek, while his own head was shattered by his opponent's blow.
