Chapter 737: Chapter 377: Shock and Awe!

The Ultimate Technique Level Martial Technique, Second Burst, is a move they also know. However, precisely because they are familiar with it, they understand how terrifying it is. Even though Lu Fanchen made some modifications to throw out the light mass, the power remains unchanged, especially after achieving the Heavenly Human Realm and activating Energy Burst.

This move could destroy a city, or even clear hundreds of kilometers, almost effortlessly.

Yet their task is to capture Huang Jiu, while Lu Fanchen seems intent on killing Huang Jiu.

"You!"

Huang Jiu, seeing Lu Fanchen take action, was first surprised, not expecting another top-tier expert nearing the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm. Then came fear.

Ultimate Technique Level Martial Technique!

Clearly a do-or-die type of technique, this isn’t just battle–this is desperation!

Facing Lu Fanchen’s desperate strike, Huang Jiu instinctively used the Demigod Ultimate Technique Flame Fluctuation that he mastered.

In an instant, the illusion of qi and blood surrounding Huang Jiu turned into a mass of burning fire. The fire was constantly compressed into a scorching white flame, which shot a beam off the Canglan Star, enveloping hundreds of kilometers in dazzling light.

As the beam and glow faded, the formerly continuous mountains turned into an abyss stretching dozens of kilometers. Meanwhile, in the sky, Huang Jiu coughed blood, with multiple parts of his limbs and body missing, maintaining his shape only through condensed qi and blood.

As for Lu Fanchen, who executed the Second Burst, his chest was pierced with a fist-sized hole, also heavily injured. But for a Great Grandmaster, this counts as a severe injury. For Lu Fanchen, it was only a minor wound, with flesh visibly regenerating before the eyes.

"A monster?" Huang Jiu, seeing Lu Fanchen’s chest merely pierced, couldn’t believe it.

His Flame Fluctuation, although it pierced part of the light mass before hitting Lu Fanchen, shouldn’t be something a Half-step Divine Fusion Realm expert could endure, it should evaporate the person instantly.

Yet his move only created a fist-sized hole in Lu Fanchen’s body. He seriously doubted whether Lu Fanchen was human at all.

"To pierce through my ultimate technique with one move and injure me, a half-step Divine Fusion Realm is indeed powerful." Lu Fanchen, looking at his pierced chest, couldn’t help but exclaim.

He felt his body was extremely strong, which gave him the confidence to use the Second Burst, without risking everything. And indeed, the aftermath of the Second Burst didn’t cause him much harm, aside from feeling whole-body pain and skin scorching.

Yet he hadn’t anticipated Huang Jiu being so formidable, injuring him in one move. His wound, despite his formidable recovery power, was healing unusually slowly. He might not even match up one-on-one.

As for Luo Wushang and Ye Qinglu, they managed to evade in time and have sturdy bodies, sustaining the lightest injuries.

On the battlefield, compared to Huang Jiu, Lu Fanchen, and others, Hu Jin and his people were in dire straits. All ordinary Grandmasters perished, not even ash remained, and the three Hu Jin guards had multiple missing parts all over. Had they not intervened immediately or had Huang Jiu not dispersed the Second Burst, they would have perished.

"How could this be?"

"Why does the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have so many top-tier experts nearing the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm?"

The heavily wounded Hu Jin trio watched Lu Fanchen and his companions above in bewilderment, unable to comprehend why the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had three top-tier experts in the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm. Even Prison Dragon Star doesn’t have this many. How could a hall rising in Mist Mountain Domain City muster three?

Before Hu Jin’s trio could recover from shock and surprise, Ye Qinglu unleashed an Ultimate Technique Level Martial Technique, Three Thousand Worlds, towards Huang Jiu, who countered with the Ultimate Technique Flame Fluctuation. Just as Ye Qinglu was vanquished by the Flame Fluctuation, Luo Wushang already moved beside Huang Jiu, wielding a newly alloy-crafted longsword, slashing at the recently Flame Fluctuation-utilizing Huang Jiu.

Advanced Martial Art Disorder Star!

Dozens of sword lights flashed instantaneously, swift beyond measure. Even Huang Jiu, in the Realm of All Things, couldn’t respond in time, barely managing to block a few strikes before being completely decapitated and sliced into hundreds of pieces.

Luo Wushang seized Huang Jiu’s head and executed the complementary Dark Light Step, transforming into a stream of light, vanishing from the battlefield, leaving Lu Fanchen—who was about to attempt a second Second Burst—utterly dumbfounded.

"Damn it! Got my kill stolen like that!" Lu Fanchen, seeing Luo Wushang disappearing, couldn’t help but curse.

"Still not strong enough." With half a life remaining, Ye Qinglu sighed.

As Luo Wushang and her companions concluded the battle with the three Domain Cities, with the news of Huang Jiu’s capture, it spread across the Canglan Star like wildfire.
