One more catty, one more attribute point

Boom!

Xie Linyuan's furious strike was steadily caught by Su Heng with one hand.

A massive air explosion burst between them, the shock waves spilling wildly in all directions.

Two "meat lanterns" hanging from the ceiling swayed violently, their light flickering, and despite their mouths being sewn shut, anguished screams and low growls could be heard!

"Give up,"

The smile on Su Heng's face gradually faded, turning cold as he spoke calmly, "You are no match for me, and to continue struggling will only bring more despair. Those who make enemies of me often end up in a very miserable state."

"Kid! Who the fuck do you think you're talking to!"

Xie Linyuan was furious to the extreme, his eyes bloodshot and his face covered with twisting, terrifying veins.

Ever since he had entered the Heavenly Deceit Realm, he had never encountered such a death-defying creature.

"I usually kill people with one blow, but this time might be an exception," Xie Linyuan activated the Super Sensory State unique to the warriors of the Heavenly Deceit Realm. His figure blurred, gradually disappearing from Su Heng's field of vision and perception, but his cold and terrifying voice still continuously came from all directions.

"You deserve to be sliced to pieces a thousand times over!"

Xie Linyuan brought his palms together like a knife, with ghastly pale sharpness in his qi, and slashed toward Su Heng's neck.

Bang!

Su Heng raised his left arm, blocking on the side.

A large amount of airflow instantly exploded, forming a white jet in all directions.

On the battlefield, Su Heng's towering stature stood steady as a mountain, unmoved. Even as a warrior of the Heavenly Deceit Realm, it was not easy for Xie Linyuan to break through Su Heng's defense and truly injure him. But one feature of warriors in this realm was their speed.

If one attempt didn't work, then they would try ten more times, a hundred times.

Repeatedly attacking the weak point, a constant drip wears away the stone, will eventually cause a qualitative change.

Bang!

While blocking Xie Linyuan,

Su Heng's right hand, like a heavy cannon, fired off, slamming into the air in front of him.

Just in the nick of time, Xie Linyuan, with his extraordinary reaction speed, dodged it. A terrifying airflow came from behind; using his peripheral vision, Xie Linyuan was shocked to discover that the wall behind him, built of luminous stones, had been pierced through, bright moonlight spilling into the tower from outside.

"Such formidable physique!" Xie Linyuan's heart tightened, "But it's useless if you can't hit me!"

"Secret Technique·Golem True Martial!"

Xie Linyuan took a deep breath, his chest expanded, then burst out with a terrifying roar like an ancient behemoth. At the same time, his body swelled, with his Achilles tendons getting thicker, and a robust force enveloped his body, forming an armor.

Empowered by the True Martial, Xie Linyuan's already swift speed increased by another thirty percent in an instant.

In Su Heng's vision, it seemed as if seven identical Xie Linyuans suddenly appeared around his body. This was not some sorcery or secret technique, but purely due to Xie Linyuan's speed reaching the extreme, even surpassing the limits of Su Heng's reactions and causing a visual disorientation effect.

"So this is the Heavenly Deceit Realm," Su Heng thought, as many realizations sprung to mind.

He had already gained a certain understanding of this profound realm thanks to the information passed down within the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Reading about it in documents was one thing,

But actually feeling it in battle was something else entirely.

Bang!

Xie Linyuan threw a direct punch toward Su Heng's face.

Su Heng reached to grab it but was dodged by Xie Linyuan's sidestep.

Then, in less than a heartbeat, bang, bang, bang, three punches landed on Su Heng's back heart, left upper arm, and abdomen respectively. The three dull impacts overlapped as if Su Heng had only been struck once, but at three different spots, his clothes burst open at once.

In the beginning, Su Heng made a token attempt to defend,

But as his robes gradually got shredded and ruined, he tossed aside the idea altogether and simply gave up.

Xie Linyuan's attacks seemed ferocious,

But the damage they did to Su Heng was truly negligible.

Even using all his strength and secret techniques to leave a slight scratch on Su Heng's Copper Skin and Iron Bones was quite an accomplishment. The various forces carried in the punches were even absorbed the moment they entered Su Heng's body.

After hundreds of punches, Xie Linyuan fought more and more fiercely, but Su Heng was gradually losing patience.

"The Heavenly Deceit Realm, now that I have a basic understanding of this realm," he closed his eyes, then reopened them.

A flash of golden lightning crossed his pupils, "Then it's time to end this!"

Roar!

A terrifying roar.

It was as if an ancient dragon had reappeared in the world, the horrifying Dragon Power surged like tidal waves.

Wherever the Dragon Power went, the whole universe turned into black and white. In front of Su Heng, everything seemed to freeze.

The sound wave layered upon layer, and the Dragon Power stacked repeatedly.

Inside the Demon Suppression Tower,

The sole recipient of this fearsome roar, Xie Linyuan, felt his head hammering as if it were struck by a mace.

For a moment, Xie Linyuan's consciousness went blank.

His heart was struck with terror, and he broke into a cold sweat.

Hastily, he stomped down heavily with the tip of his toe, turning over in a somersault, leaping backward more than ten meters. He landed on the ground, stumbling and in disarray, then looked uncertainly towards Su Heng.

Su Heng's clothes were torn and tattered from the recent exchange, hanging like rags over his robust and well-built body. He looked a bit ragged, but when Su Heng ripped open and tossed aside his robe with a ripping noise, his muscular and bulging limbs showed no sign of injury whatsoever!

"Too weak, compared to a death-level Demon Lord, human martial artists of the same realm are indeed quite inferior." Su Heng's gaze had been exceedingly calm from start to finish, yet now it held a slight disappointment as he looked toward Xie Linyuan.

Such a look.

It was like a sharp blade, deeply piercing into Xie Linyuan's chest.

The fierce blow damaged his pride as a powerhouse of the Heavenly Deceit Realm!

"Big talk is cheap! Not having reached Heavenly Deceit, not having unleashed sensory mutations, you and I might as well be in two completely different spaces with entirely different flows of time. I might not be able to easily harm you, but you can't catch me either. What can you do to me!?"

Xie Linyuan sneered coldly, "We, the people of the demonic sect, act without prohibitions."

"Indeed you are formidable, but not necessarily without weak spots. Moreover, let's say you truly have the body of invulnerability. What about your family, your friends? You can't possibly carry them with you twenty-four hours a day."

As he said this, Xie Linyuan wore a look of pride.

Unfortunately, after hearing these words, Su Heng did not show the expected anger, but continued to look at him with an expressionless face. It was only that his gaze became colder, as if he were looking at a lifeless corpse without any warmth!

"The last one who dared speak these words in front of me now no longer has a family."

"What, do you want to follow in their footsteps?"

Suddenly, Su Heng let out a 'heh' noise, then shook his head and said with a cold laugh, "Moreover, you know far too little about me. I can kill a Demon Lord; crushing a denizen of the Heavenly Deceit Realm is even less worthy of mention—how do you know I don't have other methods to catch you!?"

"You—!" Xie Linyuan was just about to retort with scorn.

But in an instant, a strong sense of crisis, like a mountainous tsunami, came crashing toward him.

His head exploded with a bang, and his expression showed sheer terror. Although he didn't know what was happening, Xie Linyuan did not hesitate. He trusted his intuition implicitly, and without any second thoughts, turned around and ran towards the damaged wall, seeking to leave the battlefield.

Behind him, within the blood-red chamber.

Bang bang!

Two explosive sounds.

The lanterns fashioned from Pang Shan and Lian Qing burst open.

Amidst the splatter of blood, the remaining two demonic corpses flew out, to be absorbed and merged into Su Heng's body!

"Devour the Sun!"

Su Heng's face twisted, and his eyes flickered with a tyrannical red light.

He reached out his hand, and as if a black hole suddenly appeared in his palm, a terrifying gravitational force emerged on the battlefield.

The air outside rushed into the Demon Suppression Tower, driving a stream of white air that produced a 'whooshing' sound.

Xie Linyuan's face was filled with terror.

The skin on his face and the clothes on his body fluttered wildly under this force.

While the demonic corpse's divine skills of a death-level Demon Lord were powerful, relying solely on this force to stop a fighter of the Heavenly Deceit Realm was rather unlikely.

But that didn't matter.

Su Heng hadn't counted on this alone to deliver a fatal blow.

As long as he could slow down Xie Linyuan's speed with the gravitational force generated by "Devour the Sun," then he would pose no threat. In Su Heng's eyes, he was no different from a piece of garbage.

Boom!

The ground beneath Su Heng's feet burst open.

His massive frame, like a pitch-black raging dragon, tore directly through the wall.

Under the bright moonlight, amidst the dust raised from the shattered wall, an exaggeratedly ferocious punch came crashing down onto Xie Linyuan's head.

In mid-air—

Xie Linyuan changed direction and locked eyes with Su Heng.

In an instant, he felt as if his entire vision was filled with that exaggeratedly dominating punch, with no room to dodge or withstand it. With a roaring cry, he funneled all the strength in his body into his arms and lunged forward to block.

Boom!

The massive iron fist struck Xie Linyuan like a meteor, exploding on impact.

A clear blood-colored shockwave ring was visible between them, and the tremendous force of the impact, coupled with the robust energy derived from practicing the Secret Technique·Domineering Dragon Thirteen Forms, surged in all at once, shattering and destroying Xie Linyuan's protective energies.

His body flew backward like a plaything.

And in mid-air.

Su Heng delivered another strike from above.

His thick, imposing leg descended with the ruthless force of a god's axe, striking unmercifully in the middle of Xie Linyuan's lower abdomen.

Bang!

The immense power crushed bones and internal organs.

Xie Linyuan's body nearly folded in two under the force of the brutal blow, as his head and ankles snapped together with a crack.

He spewed out a mouthful of old blood, his eyeballs bulging as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

The trajectory of his flight shifted from horizontal to a vertical fall.

Finally, with a "boom," he crashed heavily to the ground.

The newly repaired plaza once again caved in and exploded, even shaking the Demon Suppression Tower noticeably.

Amidst the dust, Su Heng's steps were heavy and steady as he walked toward the crater formed by the fall, "I've said it before, no matter how you struggle, the outcome will be the same."

"—If you don't want to die with dignity, then I can only help you die without it."
