CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 331: I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS! HOW DARE YOU DODGE MY GOD-LEVEL HAMMER STRIKE?

In this state, Tang Chen’s invincible heart returned. He once again shouted with an air of invincibility.

"Hahaha!! The mighty Clear Sky Hammer, the towering Clear Sky Sect! Now, I am a god!!!"

Tang Chen swung the Clear Sky Hammer, which had grown to over forty meters long, and slammed it down toward Xiao Yu with all his might.

"Hahaha!! Even a god would fall before my Clear Sky Hammer with this strike!! Xiao Yu, die!!"

Tang Chen’s maniacal laughter echoed across the heavens.

Below, Xiao Yu saw the massive hammer, as large as a small mountain, hurtling toward him.

Xiao Yu spread his dragon wings, dispelling the Holy Light Dragon armor, and dodged with the fastest speed possible.

He avoided the strike.

"Boom!!"

Instantly, after Xiao Yu dodged, Tang Chen’s Clear Sky Hammer slammed into the ground with a deafening crash.

At this moment, what Xiao Yu, Bibi Dong, and Tang Chen heard was not the ear-piercing roar of the impact but a high-pitched ringing in their ears, caused by the sheer volume of the sound!!

The power of this hammer strike was several times greater than Xiao Yu’s earlier triple dragon explosion!

The previously solid ground was now a massive crater over a hundred meters in diameter!

Even the soil and all living things within the crater were annihilated into dust, reduced to nothingness.

"Thud!!!"

After the deafening crash, an invisible shockwave swept out.

The already battered forest from Xiao Yu’s triple dragon explosion was further devastated.

Trees and grass were blown away, leaving only bare, yellow earth.

The once cloud-filled sky was now pierced by the force of Tang Chen’s hammer strike, creating a massive hole in the clouds!

It looked as if the sky itself had been torn open.

Now, hovering in mid-air, Tang Chen looked at his handiwork, his hands trembling with excitement.

Was this... the strike of a god?!

Though he wasn’t a god, the destructive power of this strike was undoubtedly god-like...

I, Tang Chen, with a semi-divine body, have unleashed a god-level strike!

Who else?! Who else can do this?!

As Tang Chen basked in his own pride and moved himself to tears, a relieved voice reached his ears.

"Whew, so this is the ultimate power of Ring Explosion? Truly terrifying. Good thing I dodged, or I’d have been blown to pieces, even with the True Dragon Nine Crowns activated..."

Now, Xiao Yu had truly witnessed the terrifying power of a god-level strike.

He also understood why Tang San, after becoming a god, was mocked for failing to break the walls of Jialing Pass with his full-powered strike.

Tang Chen, who wasn’t even a god yet, could create a crater dozens of miles wide, leaving the land barren and torn apart with a single hammer strike.

Yet Tang San, who had become a god and wielded the Sea God Trident, which was even heavier than the Clear Sky Hammer, couldn’t even break a city wall. How absurd!

Don’t talk about how he spared the innocent people in the city.

Did he think about them when he had Dugu Bo release poison later?

As Xiao Yu marveled at Tang Chen’s strike, Tang Chen, hovering in mid-air with his blood-red wings, saw that Xiao Yu had dodged instead of taking the hit head-on.

His face filled with confusion, and he shouted in disbelief, "Why? Why did you dodge?! You were supposed to take my attack head-on! Aren’t you a semi-divine being? How can you not dare to take my strike?! Why are you different from Qian Daoliu?! Are you even weaker than that old fool? You coward!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu, who had regained his composure, sneered.

"Wait, how did you even get the title ’Invincible on Land’? Who told you that your opponents can’t dodge and must take your attacks head-on?!

This is a life-and-death battle, not a game. The goal is to kill the opponent, not to worry about some so-called honor! If I need to kneel to use a soul skill to kill you, I’ll do it without hesitation!

Besides, with your Clear Sky Hammer’s painfully slow swings, who in their right mind would just stand there and take it? Are they stupid, or do you think I’m stupid?"

"How dare you! How dare you dodge?! You shouldn’t have dodged! Back when Qian Daoliu fought me on land, he didn’t dodge my Nine-Ring Explosion! Why did you?!"

Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Tang Chen flew into a rage.

His life-draining, god-level strike, meant to crush Xiao Yu in one blow, had been effortlessly dodged?!

What the hell?!

Now, Tang Chen found it increasingly hard to accept this reality.

His mental state was beginning to crumble.

Why did he dodge? He has no honor!

If he dodges, how can I claim the Clear Sky Hammer is invincible?

How can I crush him with sheer brute force?

"Ah, I finally understand how you earned the title ’Invincible on Land.’ It’s not the Clear Sky Hammer that’s invincible—it’s your ridiculously overpowered ability to make your opponents lose their minds!

I mean, why should anyone just stand there and take your hammer strikes?! Are battles in this world turn-based or something?! You hit me once, I hit you once, no dodging or blocking allowed? Then why did you dodge my formation attack earlier?"

Hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Tang Chen’s face turned red, and he was at a loss for words.

Expecting someone to stand still and take a full-powered strike was unreasonable. If they chose to do so, fine, but if they didn’t, there was nothing you could do.

It was precisely because so many people on the continent adhered to this chivalrous code, believing that strong attack types had to clash head-on to prove their manliness, that Tang Chen had come to believe he was truly invincible.

Perhaps it was because there were too many people with this chivalrous mindset that Tang Chen thought he was truly unmatched.

Honestly, even now, Xiao Yu couldn’t understand why Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu, that pair of fools, insisted on clashing head-on with the Tang family.

Were the wings granted by the Seraphim Martial Soul just for roasting when you’re hungry?!

Why not use them to fly and kite in battle instead of using a stupid sword to clash with the Tang family’s hammer?!

"..."

"Alright, since your attack is over, it’s my turn now..."
