"Uncle-Master!"
He Chongxu couldn't help but let out a wail, almost rushing forward.
If he hadn't been beaten by Ying Chen before and developed muscle memory, he would have already charged forward.
Of course, the result would have been another beating.
Li Fengcheng's eye muscles twitched violently as well.
He didn't care about the life or death of Daoist Yinlong, but he cared about the outcome of this battle!
Daoist Yinlong was punched through by Ying Chen, didn't that pre-emptively announce the end?
Could Daoist Yinlong even survive like this?
"It's over, it's over..." Li Fengcheng was extremely panicked.
He had even gambled his life with Ying Chen!
After dealing with Daoist Yinlong, the next person Ying Chen would kill would be him!
Li Fengcheng instinctively shrank back into the crowd, then pressed a switch on a communicator under his collar.
"Jackal, Jackal, are you there?"
"Things have changed, begin the operation early! Once you spot that kid descending the mountain, kill him immediately without hesitation! It doesn't matter if there are accidental killings or injuries!"
"Anyway, you're fleeing overseas after this job, so you won't be held responsible. It would be best if you also shot me in the arm or leg during the cleanup. Otherwise, others will get suspicious."
After saying this, Li Fengcheng silently waited for a response from the communicator.
Only after a long moment did a hoarse voice come from the communicator: "Understood."
Li Fengcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan!
Otherwise, he would have failed here this time!
However, just as Li Fengcheng finished making arrangements, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
Daoist Yinlong, whose chest cavity was half caved in by Ying Chen, was actually not dead!
Instead, Daoist Yinlong's eyes were sharp, staring at Ying Chen.
"Shattering the Dingfeng Banner with a single punch, you are no ordinary martial arts master!"
"Who are you?"
"With such strength, let alone ordinary outlaws, even those ancient martial arts sects can't find many! State your sect's origin, and I can spare your life!"
"Otherwise, I will turn you into ashes today!"
Hearing Daoist Yinlong's threat, Ying Chen couldn't help but scoff.
"Look at your current state, you want to turn me into ashes? On what grounds?"
Daoist Yinlong wasn't angry, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he replied calmly, "On what grounds, you will know soon."
"You think that by punching through my body, I'm already defeated?"
"Heh, it can only be said that you are still too young! You have no idea that the so-called body is merely a vessel in the eyes of a true术法 (shu fa) master. At critical moments, it can not only be abandoned but also 'shu hua'!"
Shu hua?
Hearing this unfamiliar term, everyone present showed a look of bewilderment.
Even the few feng shui masters who had been knocked unconscious by the Dingfeng Banner and had just woken up looked confused.
They had never heard of such a term in the Xuanmen arts.
They also had no idea what 'body shu hua' was.
It was Ying Chen, however, who seemed to recall something, narrowing his eyes at Daoist Yinlong.
Suddenly, he flicked his wrist and tossed Daoist Yinlong aside.
"I thought you had some trump card, but it turns out to be 'shu hua'. Then show me your 'shu hua' and let me see how much you've learned!"
It seemed that Ying Chen, who was not from the Xuanmen, knew more about 'shu hua' than the feng shui masters present!
"Hmm?" Hearing Ying Chen's words, Daoist Yinlong's brow immediately furrowed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
If Ying Chen truly knew what 'shu hua' was, did that mean Ying Chen also knew how to deal with it?
However, in the next second, Daoist Yinlong seemed to see through Ying Chen's lie and sneered, "Hmph, you're trying to bluff me?"
"How could you, a martial arts master, know something that so many Xuanmen masters don't?"
"Since you want to see 'shu hua' so badly, I'll satisfy you!"
With that, Daoist Yinlong suddenly shook his entire body!
It was as if some power within him had spread out.
At the same time, a clear cracking sound could be heard by everyone.
It was like the sound of a seed breaking out of its shell.
As everyone wondered why they were hearing this sound, they saw Daoist Yinlong's body rapidly changing.
His collapsed chest cavity quickly puffed up and stretched, and his muscles and bones all grew wildly outwards like branches.
Daoist Yinlong's robes, along with the contortion of his body, tore into strips and hung on him.
In the blink of an eye, Daoist Yinlong had grown more than twice his original size!
A normal human of about 1.7 meters had directly become a giant over 3 meters tall!
If he were just a giant, it would be fine. The key was that Daoist Yinlong's muscles and bones had undergone bizarre changes.
His muscle fibers were like a hundred-year-old vine, dry and tough, twisted together like intertwined roots.
His bones were like the trunk of a large tree, some forming gnarled knots protruding from the surface.
Most bizarre was Daoist Yinlong's face.
It had directly transformed into a terrifying, wrinkled, orange-peel monster!
His face stretched infinitely long, with tree-like textures faintly visible. His narrow eyes glinted with venomous light, and his mouth was open, filled with teeth like sharp blades!
Hiss!
Everyone collectively gasped.
They instantly understood what 'shu hua' was!
It turned out to be treating the body as a magical artifact or tool, transforming into a monster-like existence!
"Is that all?"
Ying Chen scoffed as he looked at the 'shu hua'-ed Daoist Yinlong.
He thought Daoist Yinlong had truly inherited something, but it turned out to be just some minor trick of the ancient Nanyue tribes.
When Ying Chen campaigned in Nanyue back then, the local indigenous shamans were skilled in using 'shu hua'.
However, the 'shu hua' used by Nanyue shamans was not only horrifying in appearance but also possessed terrifying lethality.
Daoist Yinlong's 'shu hua' was far inferior.
Not only did he 'shu hua' his body into a monstrosity, but it also lacked any real lethality.
In Ying Chen's opinion, Daoist Yinlong should have at least 'shu hua'-ed his arms into bone blades, his feet into elephantine hooves that could stomp the ground, and his body surface into large bone spikes that could be fired at will to be considered barely acceptable.
What was the use of simply 'shu hua'-ing into a withered old tree?
Was he going to scare enemies to death with his ugly appearance?
Seeing Ying Chen's disdain, Daoist Yinlong became instantly enraged.
He thought Ying Chen would be terrified and beg for mercy upon seeing this.
Who would have thought that Ying Chen not only refused to beg but also let out piercing laughter!
Unbearable!
Daoist Yinlong let out a sudden roar, and his arms, with their dry, vine-like muscles, suddenly elongated and darted towards Ying Chen.
The air was pierced, creating tiny ripples, indicating the immense power of this strike!
Just as Ying Chen was about to be pierced through the body by this strike.
But in the next second, everyone was stunned.
Ying Chen stood there motionless.
He neither dodged nor resisted, allowing Daoist Yinlong to strike his body.
But in the end, it was Daoist Yinlong who was injured, not Ying Chen!
Daoist Yinlong's elongated muscle let out a grating sound that made one's teeth ache, like brittle branches hitting steel, shattering with each segment!
"Impossible!"
Daoist Yinlong's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed.
Ying Chen glanced at Daoist Yinlong calmly and said, "The impossible is yet to come."
With that, Ying Chen suddenly took a step forward!
Dong!
With Ying Chen's step, the entire Nine Dragon Mountain peak trembled.
It was as if Ying Chen were not human but an ancient thunder god descending upon the mortal realm, walking among mortals.
With each step he took, the entire earth would shake.
Daoist Yinlong's huge body also swayed from the tremor.
And in this instant, Ying Chen suddenly exhaled and threw a punch!
The violent airflow, like a rampaging dragon, instantly reached Daoist Yinlong's body.
Before Daoist Yinlong could react, the airflow had already torn through his intertwined muscles and entered his body!
Daoist Yinlong let out a pained roar.
Then his body shook again.
But this shake was more than ten times more violent than before.
So much so that parts of Daoist Yinlong's muscle began to show hairline fractures from the shaking!
Looking at Daoist Yinlong's back, a hole the size of a water vat appeared.
It occupied nearly two-thirds of Daoist Yinlong's back!
The scene was exceptionally horrifying!
Everyone present was dumbfounded and chilled to the bone.
Ying Chen's punch had actually produced the cavitation effect of a bullet!
That is, when shot from the front, the wound appears small, but when the bullet penetrates the body and exits from the back, it creates a bowl-sized wound!
This is because after entering the body, the bullet does not travel in a straight line but tumbles forward, continuously destroying human tissue and eventually creating an ever-widening cavity!
To what degree had Ying Chen's boxing skills reached to produce such a bullet-like effect?
"Terrifying, truly terrifying..."
The onlookers were all filled with dread.
Daoist Yinlong's eyes were also filled with horror and fear.
He finally realized that Ying Chen was definitely not as easy to deal with as He Chongxu had said!
At this point, he had already used his ultimate skills and magical artifacts.
If the initial 'Five Ghosts Soul Locking' was nothing special.
Then the later 'Nine Dragons Suppressing Killing', Dingfeng Banner, and 'shu hua' were all his last resort techniques that Daoist Yinlong would not easily use!
But even so, they had not harmed Ying Chen in the slightest, and instead, they had been repeatedly slapped in the face by Ying Chen!
Daoist Yinlong's heart slowly sank, and he felt a sense of foreboding.
He finally dared not underestimate Ying Chen anymore, and he dared not hold back any longer.
He decided to put an end to everything and completely eliminate Ying Chen!
He couldn't imagine what other tricks Ying Chen would come up with if he delayed any longer!
"This is the end!"
"I have decided not to give you any more chances!"
"To force me to use this move, you can consider yourself to have died a worthy death, and it is an honor!"
"Now, enjoy the pleasure of death brought by this move!"
Daoist Yinlong looked down at Ying Chen and said in a deep voice.
His voice came from above, like a divine oracle, filled with irrefutable authority.
As his voice fell, Daoist Yinlong, high above, cast a pitying glance at Ying Chen.
Then his Adam's apple rolled, and though he didn't speak, he emitted a strange syllable that was neither human nor beast.
"Beneath the dragon's neck lies an inverted scale; touch it in anger and it will kill!"
"Thousand Eyes—Inverse Scale!"
