This High Martial World is Too Crazy!!!

Chapter 196: Chapter 194: Shocking a Hundred Li (7)

”Everyone, is this really the time to be holding back?”

At the Great Zhou National Competition, Zhang Kaishan roared as he watched the figure that resembled a demon god:

”Use your abilities now! We can only survive if we work together! Do you really want to wait until the end, only to be slaughtered by this demon one by one?”

”I’ll stake my life on it! Whoever can kill Fang Can will be guaranteed a spot in the top five! So bring out your trump cards!”

’Easy for you to say. Are *you* going to fight Fang Can?’ one Martial Artist grumbled nervously to himself.

Despite his thoughts, he and the others knew Zhang Kaishan was right. Given Fang Can’s current display of power, their only chance of victory was to team up.

If they all clung to the idea of hiding their strength and just trying to survive, no one would be there to help when Fang Can’s iron fist came crashing down on their own heads.

In the very next moment, a female Martial Artist with waist-length black hair and a brocade robe inscribed with patterns of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth waved a magic wand and chanted:

”Five demons, five demons, grant me your might. By decree, Rush!”

Almost instantly, a large-scale Array spread out beneath everyone’s feet, and a layer of ethereal armor materialized on every Martial Artist’s body.

”It’s the Five Demons Sect’s First Turn ’Armor of the Immortals’ spell! We’re saved!” a knowledgeable Martial Artist exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

But in the next instant, a cold voice rang in their ears: ”Saved, my ass.”

Before they could even react, Fang Can’s iron fist shot forward.

The ground trembled as the force of his punch tore through the air, carving a massive vacuum tunnel in front of him.

Everything in the path of his fist disintegrated.

The Martial Artist who had just spoken was obliterated so completely that not even his mother would be able to find a single recognizable piece of him.

Analyzing the effect of his punch, Fang Can got a rough idea of the armor’s capability. It seemed to generate a defensive shield that could withstand about 1,000 combat power. Unfortunately for them, the gap was just too large.

But before Fang Can could continue his assault, the young woman from the Five Demons Sect began casting the armor spell again.

As Magic Arrays continually spread out beneath their feet, the Martial Artists present were soon covered in three or four layers of ethereal armor, and the number was still increasing.

’It can even stack... Is there a limit?’

All sorts of thoughts raced through Fang Can’s mind. This Five Demons Sect reminded him of the floor tiles and the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl he had seen back at the Fang family estate.

Those floor tiles and the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl could absorb kinetic energy. It seemed this Sect didn’t have a traditional legacy for the First Turn. Instead, they had developed their entire ’Light of the Mind’ into a system similar to Magic, allowing them to cast various spells.

With this in mind, Fang Can’s figure vanished in a flash.

By the time the female Martial Artist from the Five Demons Sect reacted, she saw Fang Can’s four-meter-tall form, glowing with a dense light, standing right in front of her.

The young woman gave an awkward smile, about to say something, but Fang Can slammed his hands forward in a crushing clap to both sides of her head.

”CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK...”

A series of armor-shattering sounds rang out. The young woman had clearly reinforced her own body with this armor long ago, but how could it possibly withstand the 3.9 million units of strength in Fang Can’s arms?

Roughly 100 layers of shields, each with 100,000 Defense Power, were shattered to pieces by Fang Can’s hands.

The next moment, blood sprayed everywhere. The head of the girl from the Five Demons Sect instantly exploded, and the terrifying Powerful Qi set off a chain reaction, reducing her entire body to a slurry of gore.

’It’s not just armor, there’s a recoil effect too...’

Fang Can felt an impact ripple through his body; about 10,000 attack power had struck his internal organs.

Unfortunately for them, Fang Can had long since trained his body to be as indestructible as diamond. An attack of this level was no different from being tickled.

While he was contemplating this, all sorts of weapons were already bearing down on him from behind—flying swords, golden foils, Fireballs...

In the face of a physical-type Martial Artist like Fang Can, no one dared to engage in close combat. They could only try to kill him by launching weapons from a distance.

Facing the various weapons rushing him from behind, Fang Can didn’t even think of dodging. He simply flicked his right hand backward.

With just a flick of his finger, the surging Fireballs behind him were instantly extinguished by his Powerful Qi. The flying swords were knocked off course, and the golden foils were torn apart.

But in the next instant, a premonition of death rose from the depths of his heart.

Fang Can’s superhuman intuition told him that if he didn’t dodge this attack, he would actually die!

’Some kind of instant-death legacy?’

With that thought, Fang Can turned his head to see an emerald-green poison dart steadily approaching him.

’Too slow. As long as I’ve noticed it, I can definitely dodge it,’ Fang Can assessed internally. ’It’s not even moving at the speed of sound.’

Holding this belief, Fang Can threw a full-power hand chop through the air.

A violent gale surged, instantly tearing a massive trench dozens of meters long in front of Fang Can, yet it didn’t affect the poison dart in the slightest.

’What kind of effect is this? Guaranteed hit? Ignores kinetic energy? Or is it locked onto the enemy?’ Countless theories flashed through Fang Can’s mind. With the intent to experiment, he moved his body over 100 meters away.

Sure enough, as he moved, the poison dart turned and reacquired Fang Can as its target.

’So it really is locked onto me. This negates its disadvantage in speed. And getting hit by it means certain death.’

Fang Can’s expression was cold. As he watched the slow-moving dart, a strange feeling arose within him. The poison dart seemed to have sped up.

’It’s 1% faster than when I first saw it. This dart has an acceleration effect?’

He wasn’t the least bit flustered. At this rate of acceleration, it would take at least several dozen seconds before it became too fast for him to dodge.

Fang Can’s entire thought process took less than a second, and his gaze had already locked onto a cowering Martial Artist in the distance.

’Perfect timing. I’ll just swap it for another troublesome fellow.’

As if teleporting, the ground shook violently, and Fang Can already had the Martial Artist by the neck.

’Fang Can... are you going to kill me?’

A flicker of excitement flashed in the Martial Artist’s eyes, but the moment he met Fang Can’s gaze, he sensed something ominous in the other’s playful look.

The next moment, a poison dart pierced the Martial Artist’s heart. Intense pain immediately flared up from all over his body. It was an instantly lethal poison that killed on contact with blood.

’Why isn’t my healing ability working?’ the Martial Artist struggled in agony, but a shrill scream rang in his ears: ”My Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Dart!”

’The Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Dart? You motherf...’ The moment he heard that name, a surge of fury rose in the heart of the impaled Martial Artist.

He had heard of the Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Dart before—a terrifying legacy of the Great Zhou’s Li family.

It was a terrifying one-time-use Sacrificial Artifact available after the First Turn. It had a built-in tracking effect and was instantly fatal to anyone below the Third Turn.

After being used, it required a hundred-year cooldown before the dart would regain its instant-death ability.

’No wonder my healing ability was suppressed by the poison...’ Before the thought could even finish, the impaled Martial Artist’s body dissolved into a pool of pus and blood.

’It seems the dart’s ability only works on a single Martial Artist...’

Fang Can’s gaze shifted to the Martial Artist who had just screamed.
