What appeared before them was a single hand!

"Hmph!"

Yu Gu snorted. His body took on a golden sheen, as if coated in lacquer, making him resemble a temple’s Golden Arhat. He then moved to meet the palm strike.

"CLANG!"

The sound was like a bell tolling in a thousand-year-old temple.

Their strike was not just a clash of surging True Essence, but also a contest of physical bodies and Qi and Blood. As their palms collided, both Chen Che and Yu Gu sank into the ground beneath their feet. The earth caved in, forming a large, bowl-shaped depression.

BANG BANG!

Neither man retreated a single step, exchanging dozens of palm strikes in an instant.

The tremendous noise echoed for dozens of miles through the mountains, sounding like a colossal hammer striking a steel anvil.

Yu Gu slammed a fist into Chen Che’s chest.

The robes on Chen Che’s chest exploded. He instantly spat out a mist of blood as a fist-shaped indentation appeared on his back. At the same moment, he retaliated with a palm strike of his own.

"BAM!"

Yu Gu didn’t move from his spot.

Chen Che’s body shuddered, and he was sent sliding backward several steps. His feet gouged two deep furrows in the earth.

"Brother Yu!"

Liu Jiafeng was overjoyed at the sight, but his delight froze on his face a moment later. He watched as Yu Gu trembled, his body suddenly covered in cracks like shattered porcelain. With a final ’CRACK,’ he exploded inch by inch, dissipating into motes of golden light.

As it turned out, in the instant they had exchanged blows, Chen Che had unleashed the full power of his Nine Shocking Ape Strikes.

"It’s done!"

Just then, Tang Youliang’s Array was also finally complete.

Chen Che looked up.

The sky was thick with fiery clouds, which slowly swirled into a vortex. A colossal Fire Dragon poked its head down from above. Its head alone was hundreds of yards wide. The moment it formed, Tang Youliang thrust his hand downward!

"ROAR!"

The dragon’s roar shook the heavens.

The Red Dragon twisted in mid-air as if wrenching itself free from the clouds. Its body spun once before it dove ferociously downward.

Beneath this Red Dragon, even the entire volcano looked like a tiny toy, and Chen Che was nothing more than a speck of dust in its sight.

However, just as it descended, a brilliant light erupted from between Chen Che’s brows. A leaf-shaped Flying Sword flew out from his forehead.

SHING!

A crisp sword cry rang out.

A beam of sword light bloomed in an instant, soaring to meet the Red Dragon. The beam stretched from heaven to earth, and no words could possibly describe its sharp edge. The descending Red Dragon was vast and mighty, seemingly unmatched in all the world.

And yet, a single strike from this sword cleaved it in two.

At almost the same time, the twenty-four Array Banners exploded, and even the crimson clouds that stretched for dozens of miles were instantly ripped asunder.

"This..."

In less time than it takes to burn half a stick of incense, Chen Che had slain four Foundation Establishment Cultivators and shattered the Grand Array. This utterly astonishing sight made Liu Jiafeng’s and Tang Youliang’s hair stand on end, their faces twisting in terror.

"Run!"

Without a second thought, Liu Jiafeng wrapped his robes around himself, transformed into an Escape Light, and shot into the distance.

Tang Youliang coughed up blood. He shot Chen Che a venomous glare, then stamped his foot in frustration and took flight as well.

’Trying to run?’

Chen Che’s eyes narrowed slightly.

However, just as he was about to act, an explosion erupted behind him. The Sealing Grand Array shattered with a loud bang. The crimson barrier broke apart like glass, and a figure resembling an enraged lion shot out. In a flash, he was hovering above Liu Jiafeng.

Then, he brought his foot down with brutal force.

"THUD!"

This kick contained Meng Changtu’s endless fury. Liu Jiafeng hadn’t even had time to react before he was stomped into a bloody pulp on the spot!

"Haha!"

Seeing this, the corners of Chen Che’s mouth lifted slightly.

’My father-in-law is free!’
