Chapter 176 - 175: Two Hearts, Four Kidneys! Beaten to His Knees

Chapter 176: Chapter 175: Two Hearts, Four Kidneys! Beaten to His Knees

Inside the simulated imperial capital of Great Chu on Fangcun Mountain, a series of roars echoed, like a barrage of missile strikes.

Two figures unleashed their power on each other without reservation, tearing countless cracks into the earth.

Mad Barbaric Heaven-Shocking Palm!!!

Xiang Longtao roared. A terrifying power, vast as mountains and seas, surged from his body, concentrating thousands of tons of force into his arms.

As he thrust both palms forward, everything around him was torn asunder by his brute force.

At this moment, it was as if the entire world was shattering under Xiang Longtao’s palms as he sought to obliterate Fang Can with the most terrifying brute force imaginable.

’But how can this be! It’s hopeless! Impossible!!!’

"Fool! You’ve already used this move on me once. I’ve seen through everything, from your Heart Image to your techniques."

Fang Can sneered. Just like his opponent, he channeled a terrifying power like a raging tsunami into his palms and slammed them forward.

Mad Barbaric Heaven-Shocking Palm!!!

RUMBLE!!!

Where their palms met, the earth within a five-meter radius was pulverized. Both figures staggered back two steps in unison.

The collision knocked Xiang Longtao’s topknot loose. With his hair disheveled, he stared at Fang Can with savage killing intent.

"Good, good. Fang Can, I admit you are a worthy opponent. Now, I will kill you without holding anything back."

"Without holding back? Don’t tell me you were holding back just now." Fang Can scoffed, but his expression couldn’t help but turn serious.

Because he heard a powerful, forceful heartbeat coming from within Xiang Longtao’s body.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

That strong, powerful heartbeat caused Fang Can’s expression to change slightly.

Because at that moment, the sound of two hearts beating was coming from inside Xiang Longtao.

If someone could observe the state of Xiang Longtao’s body, they would discover that his anatomy was far from ordinary.

Two separate life systems existed within him; he possessed two hearts and four kidneys.

Noticing Fang Can’s expression, Xiang Longtao sneered, "It seems you’ve noticed my body is different. The truth is, eighteen years ago, twins should have been born."

"But for the great undertaking of Chu, my kin was sealed within my body by my imperial father."

"The reason I haven’t broken through to the Heaven-Ascending Road yet is partly because I’m waiting for the tournament between nations, and partly because half of my hard work goes to feeding this twin sister of mine!"

"When the time comes, we will break through to the Heaven-Ascending Road together in one body. Our spiritual lights will merge as one, and I will dominate this generation."

"I have always been reluctant to let her awaken, because this form is simply too unsightly."

"But to defeat you, I will hold nothing back!!!"

Following Xiang Longtao’s roar, a huge, fleshy tumor bulged from his ribs.

Then, two slender, fair arms ripped through his clothes, forcing their way out from under his ribs.

The moment they appeared, one of the arms immediately grabbed Xiang Longtao’s head and pushed it forcefully to the right.

On the left side of his neck, a long-haired head slowly broke through the confines of flesh and blood, violently emerging from the position of his shoulder blade.

Once everything settled, Fang Can looked at the... man?... before him.

Two heads, two hearts, four arms, four kidneys... he was a terrifying monster stitched together.

Combined with the bloodthirsty red dragon tattooed across his body, he stood amidst the ruins like a world-destroying demon god.

"My dear brother, you were finally willing to let me out." A female voice came from the newly grown head:

"I thought you were going to keep me asleep forever, only to completely erase my consciousness after you reached the First Turn."

Though the voice was flirtatious, it was thick with venomous resentment.

Clearly, she held considerable animosity toward her brother.

"Hmph. For the hegemony of Great Chu, we will join forces and kill this man before us," Xiang Longtao said coldly, only to be met with a sneer from the female voice.

"What hegemony of Great Chu? You are the heir of Great Chu. Will I get a share of the nation’s wealth in the future?"

As she spoke, the flirtatious head looked at Fang Can, her eyes immediately lighting up. "Hey, handsome. This guy can’t beat you, can he? Could you do me a favor?"

Looking at the creature before him with great interest, Fang Can smiled. "Tell me what it is first. I’ll decide based on the situation."

"It’s simple. See this dog’s head to my left?"

The female head pointed to Xiang Longtao’s head and said, "Do me a favor and chop it off. When I inherit the hegemony of Great Chu, you’ll have a share of the kingdom."

"Insolent!" Xiang Longtao snorted coldly. "I knew your nature was hard to change. Did you think I need your permission to control this body?"

As he spoke, the woman’s head was frozen in place. Xiang Longtao pointed his two right hands at Fang Can and said in a harsh tone:

"Although my power hasn’t increased significantly in this state, let’s see how you’ll deal with my two heads and four arms."

As Xiang Longtao spoke, the surrounding air churned violently. The atmosphere itself was easily torn apart as four arms pressed down from above.

BAM!

Fang Can pressed forward with both hands to block two of the arms, but then a gust of wind came from his flanks. The pale white arms were already striking with power no less than the original pair.

"Handsome, be careful! This guy can forcibly control the body! You have to win!"

Spinning around, Fang Can barely managed to dodge the combined attack of all four hands, and his brow furrowed slightly.

After this transformation, his power hadn’t changed, but he had two more limbs to attack with. He could now launch more moves simultaneously, making him much harder to parry.

’If that’s the case, then I just need to get stronger, too.’

Fang Can smiled at Xiang Longtao. "Did you really think you’re the only one with a second phase?"

As he spoke, looking at the big guy coming at him, Fang Can swung his arm and muttered, "Heaven-Supporting Skill: Augment."

As he spoke, the blood in Fang Can’s body flowed rapidly, surging into his right arm.

Empowered by the blood, his right arm swelled rapidly like a sponge soaking up water, its length exploding from its original 70cm to two meters.

Although this transformation nearly drained all the blood from his body—a change that would have killed a normal person instantly—

it wasn’t too great a burden for Fang Can, who had undergone a perfect body modification and was currently in his ’daytime’ state.

The very purpose of modifying his body was to adapt to all sorts of extreme situations and drastically increase his body’s tolerance, allowing him to perform explosive techniques like this one.

This move was precisely the second form of the Heaven-Supporting Skill he had previously envisioned: by engorging a single body part with blood, its power would increase eightfold and its defense would double.

"Get... on your knees!"

Like a divine decree, Fang Can’s two-meter-long right arm shot forward.

Amidst a series of explosions in the air, his supersonic palm, carrying a primordial force, directly grabbed Xiang Longtao’s face.

In his locally enhanced state, the terrifying force from that single arm alone was five to six thousand tons. Now, reaching across two meters, it covered Xiang Longtao’s face and, with a light press...

BOOM!

Amidst a large cloud of dust and smoke, Fang Can looked at Xiang Longtao, who was now on both knees, and smiled. "What happened to all that arrogance?"
