Fang Chen followed closely, floating in mid-air, looking down at Xiong Ba.
"Fang Chen! You..."
Enraged, Xiong Ba retreated hastily, turning to flee.
He had already figured it out; with his unparalleled lightness skill, he should be able to evade those aerial monsters by maneuvering and dodging.
As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood!
"You think you can leave without leaving behind even a fraction of your original energy?"
Fang Chen sneered and shouted, "Surround them and attack their hands and feet!"
"YES!"
The numerous airmen responded with a resounding roar.
Suddenly, they split into five teams, blocking Xiong Ba's charge below. A barrage of fire suppressed the attack; Xiong Ba wielded his longsword like a wheel, but it ultimately shattered.
While the firepower wasn't fatal, there was just too much of it.
Ants can kill an elephant.
Before long, Xiong Ba collapsed to the ground, completely unable to move.
......
The swift and sudden collapse of the World Society caused a huge uproar in the martial arts world.
Martial arts masters from all walks of life arrived to confirm this momentous event.
Many people applauded and cheered.
When Xiong Ba conquered the world, his methods were cruel and ruthless. Now that Xiong Ba has been defeated, many heroes of the martial arts world are searching for his whereabouts.
In order to seek revenge.
However, they were destined to be disappointed; Xiong Ba had already become Fang Chen's prisoner.
"Xiong Ba, this is the last time I'll ask you: will you hand over the Three Absolutes and the Threefold Return to Origin Qi?!"
Fang Chen sat in the living room, a cup of fragrant tea in his hand. He slowly sipped it, calmly watching Xiong Ba, whose limbs were severed.
"Fang Chen, you... kill me!"
"I am dying," Xiong Ba said weakly.
The young man before me used all sorts of bizarre methods of torture, some even called the "Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Qing Dynasty," and others involved implanting ice shards inside the body—it was unbearably itchy, truly inhuman.
"I will kill you, but the objective hasn't been achieved."
Fang Chen stood up, waved his hand, and his inner energy surged. The tea in the teacup instantly flew into the air, transforming into dozens of ice shards that floated in the air.
"This is the last time; my patience has run out."
With a wave of his hand, Fang Chen sent all the ice shards hurtling towards Xiong Ba.
This time, they used so many Life and Death Talismans, intending to give Xiong Ba a good time all at once, and then, when he was exhausted, let Yuri take his place!
Because a Grandmaster like Xiong Ba possesses incredibly powerful mental strength, controlling his mind and making him utter the incantation for the Threefold Return to Origin Qi is virtually impossible!
We must reduce Xiong Ba to a sliver of health before using Yuri!
"Ah...!"
Xiong Ba screamed in agony, frantically clawing at his body until his clothes were torn to shreds and his flesh was a bloody mess.
His formidable dantian had been destroyed by Fang Chen; now, he could no longer stir up any trouble.
"Hmm? Something's not right!"
Fang Chen suddenly remembered that in the TV series, Xiong Ba was defeated by the combined forces of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, ultimately crippling himself. Unexpectedly, he re-cultivated the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi, further enhancing his martial arts skills.
Thinking this, Fang Chen grabbed Xiong Ba's shoulder and probed his body with his true energy, indeed discovering a faint trace of internal energy circulating within him.
This internal force is almost negligible.
However, Fang Chen's deliberate search led to his discovery.
"Xiong Ba, is this your trump card? Even if your power is destroyed, you can start over with the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi?" Fang Chen chuckled, releasing his inner force to disperse Xiong Ba's attack.
"You! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
Seeing the last glimmer of hope extinguished, a venomous glint flashed in Xiong Ba's eyes.
"Hehe..."
Fang Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Someone like you, who has done so many evil deeds, will only be reborn as an animal!"
......
Time flew by, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
As expected of a ruthless and powerful figure, even under such torment, he managed to refrain from revealing the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi.
Fang Chen sat to the side, changing the tea in his cup again and again.
Yuri, Jin, Yin, and Tie were all waiting nearby.
