Watching Chen Taisheng lift the blazing sun and candle light, Ji Shu's scarlet pupils at the center of his brow contracted sharply, and streams of elemental energy scattered from his pupils.
Ji Shu clenched his fists tightly and sneered, "Chen Taisheng, times have changed. It's time for you and your Tiangang Sect to disappear from the land of Wu Kingdom along with the Jianmen!"
After speaking, Ji Shu stepped into the void, his fists erupting with scarlet elemental energy as he traversed the air rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he arrived above the blazing sun and candle light. Ji Shu abruptly pulled in his abdomen and bent his waist, gathering all his strength in his fists.
"Die for me!"
With a thunderous roar, his body bent backward violently, and his fists swung down furiously, stirring up a gale.
The majestic fist wind swept out, and Chen Taisheng spat out a mouthful of black blood. Already poisoned, he now massively wielded elemental energy, allowing the potent poison to seep into his internal organs. Scarlet maggots spread from his arm to his entire body.
Chen Taisheng endured the piercing pain, his brows furrowed. At the same level of cultivation, the seventh layer of the Grandmaster realm, he felt a threat of death, something that was previously impossible.
Ji Shu's fists pounded violently against the blazing sun and candle light. The Golden Light Seal, situated at the center of the golden radiance, cracked.
Chen Taisheng, unable to resist, slightly shifted his body, bringing the blazing sun and candle light to evade the ferocious fist shadows.
Boom!
Several streams of fist light smashed down, leaving several deep pits behind Chen Taisheng.
Chen Taisheng suddenly propelled himself through the air, his feet darting back and forth in the void. With extreme speed, he instantly appeared behind Ji Shu. The blazing inferno, burning fiercely, descended like Mount Tai, smashing towards the back of Ji Shu's head.
The intense flames scorched Ji Shu's hair, igniting sparks. The invisible scarlet maggots instantly dissipated.
The intense burning at the back of his head stung Ji Shu's nerves. Facing the sudden attack, Ji Shu showed no panic; instead, a hint of a sneer appeared on his lips.
Ji Shu swung his right fist directly backward, smashing into the blazing sun and candle light, stirring up waves of flames.
Roar!
A scarlet maggot, five feet in size, instantly appeared from Ji Shu's back, baring its fangs and lunging towards Chen Taisheng's chest.
Bang!
Chen Taisheng's right foot came flying, smashing onto the forehead of the scarlet maggot.
Buzz!
With a deafening roar, the scarlet maggot shuddered, and the intense pain made it roar furiously, baring its fangs.
Swish!
Ji Shu's fists smashed down on the blazing sun and candle light, chipping off a corner of the golden seal. His fists slammed into Chen Taisheng's chest.
Bang bang bang!
The fierce fist force sent Chen Taisheng flying dozens of steps away. The immense impact tore through the air, whistling and howling!
Ji Shu withdrew his fists, looking condescendingly at the disheveled Chen Taisheng. The weak scarlet maggots burrowed into Ji Shu's chest, recovering from the injuries inflicted by Chen Taisheng.
"Heh heh heh, Chen Taisheng, is this all you've got?"
Ji Shu sneered at the weakened Chen Taisheng, his eyes scanning the golden seal behind Chen Taisheng's head: "Tsk tsk tsk, look, even your weapon has a corner chipped off."
Ji Shu shook his head and said, "The Tianmen uprising! Hahaha, Chen Taisheng, in my eyes, it's just a cheap trick."
"Chen Taisheng, if this is all you're capable of, then hand over the throne of the foremost in Wu Kingdom, and also offer your heart's blood!"
Chen Taisheng slowly shed the heavy fist force and shakily stood up. Several ribs protruded from his sunken chest, piercing the flesh and blood.
Chen Taisheng cupped his right palm over his bleeding chest, his gaze fixed coldly on Ji Shu. The golden seal behind him slowly rose, emitting a faint radiance.
"Hahaha, Ji Shu, do you think you can act with impunity in Wu Kingdom just because you obtained the inheritance of the Refining Soul Palace?"
"Do you think you've won the world by destroying my Tiangang Sect? Hahaha!"
Suddenly, the void centered around Chen Taisheng began to shake violently. The surrounding elemental energy compressed towards Chen Taisheng, and the fluctuations of heaven and earth energy intensified.
"What, are you in such a hurry to offer me your heart's blood?"
Ji Shu furrowed his brows, staring intently at the heavens and earth, his spirit exceptionally tense. He dared not underestimate Chen Taisheng, even though their strength was currently equal.
But once he lost the initiative, he might not be able to bear the consequences!
Hiss hiss!
Streams of scarlet poisonous gas coiled around Ji Shu's palms, and countless tiny scarlet maggots covered Ji Shu's fists.
Ji Shu's expression was grim as he stepped slowly through the void, approaching Chen Taisheng with clenched fists.
"Chen Taisheng, your heart's blood, I will have it!"
Ji Shu stomped fiercely in the void, raising his fist high above his head, like Titan hammering the earth, stirring up waves!
His fists swung out, shattering layers of golden light. Chen Taisheng, at the center, revealed himself. Ji Shu's eyes were scarlet, and bloodlust dripped from his lips!
In an instant, hundreds of fist shadows were flung out, smashing towards Chen Taisheng.
"Suppress!"
Chen Taisheng's tightly shut eyes suddenly flew open. A single word burst forth, and the entire space instantly seemed to descend with thousands of mountain peaks. Immense pressure instantly shattered Ji Shu's upper garment.
On his exposed chest, a scar reaching deep into his heart coiled, and a scarlet maggot, five feet in size, greedily sucked Ji Shu's heart's blood.
As Chen Taisheng uttered the word, the golden seal soared into the sky, instantly enveloping Ji Shu from above. Terrifying elemental energy erupted explosively, and the world instantly lost its color as countless golden rays poured into the golden seal.
Boom boom boom!
The golden seal expanded hundreds of times in an instant, smashing Ji Shu, who stood in the void, into the ground.
Rumble!
Dust and smoke billowed!
Roar!
A roar echoed from the depths of the earth as a scarlet light instantly pierced Chen Taisheng's chest.
Screech screech!
The sounds of frenzied gnawing, accompanied by the tearing of flesh and blood, shook the assembled forces on the ground.
Ah!
A shout erupted in the void. In the sight of everyone, the man who stood at the pinnacle of Wu Kingdom silently vanished!
Only a withered skeleton remained, crashing to the ground!
"Sect Master!"
Su Hu parried an attack from a sword shadow and shot towards Chen Taisheng's skeletal remains.
Sword Shadow stared at the scene in horror, unable to believe that Ji Shu, whom he had followed his entire life, had become this way.
As the dust settled, a bloodied Ji Shu slowly emerged from the deep pit. The scarlet maggots instantly returned from Chen Taisheng's corpse to Ji Shu's chest.
Hissing!
Thud thud thud!
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves echoed from the north of the distant fortress. A ten-thousand-strong army appeared at the horizon.
A figure stepped into the void and rapidly approached the battlefield.
