"I don't know where you got the courage from, but you've come to the wrong place if you think you can act recklessly!"

Yu Lie said in a deep voice, his right hand suddenly thrust out, erupting in a blazing flame, as if a fierce sun had suddenly bloomed. In the midst of the spatial compression, it directly pushed towards Chu Ming, causing the space to crack and dissolve inch by inch.

Under the oppressive momentum, Situ Lei and the Second Elder's forms were forced to retreat instantly. A hint of amazement flashed across Situ Lei's face. Although he knew he was not Yu Lie's equal, he had never imagined the gap between them to be this vast.

At the same time, he felt a burst of relief for not protecting Ku Teng earlier. Under such an assault from Yu Lie, how could Ku Teng survive? He stared at Ku Teng as if he were looking at a dead man.

Boom!

In everyone's eyes, Ku Teng's hunched figure suddenly shot up. Immediately, a terrifying palm seal descended from the sky, blotting out the sun and the sky, shrouding the entire council hall with a terrifying momentum.

Thump, thump, thump…

The ten Combat Stewards closest to Chu Ming couldn't withstand the oppressive force from the sky and immediately spewed blood as they fled in horror.

Boom!

The palm seal collided with the fierce fist, and the rapid Qi Force caused the heavens and earth to change colors. Black and red lights intertwined and clashed, bursting out with brilliant colors like the most beautiful fireworks in the world.

Rumble!

A sudden rumble sounded, and the entire council hall collapsed instantly, shattering into pieces. The dust spread everywhere, startling everyone in Lvbo City. The casual martial artists looked in the direction of the council hall in shock. The entire Lvbo City was the headquarters of the Wood Profound Sect and considered the safest place on Mukong Island. Yet, someone dared to run wild here. Were they seeking death?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures flew out from the rubble, their clothes tattered and covered in dust. Leading them was none other than Yu Lie, the Vice Sect Leader of the Wood Profound Sect, followed closely by Situ Lei and the Second Elder.

"Is he dead?"

Situ Lei stared at the rubble and slowly said, "The terror of Yu Lie's strike just now, even if it hit him, would cause serious injuries. With it hitting Ku Teng, Ku Teng is certainly dead."

"He's not dead!"

Yu Lie's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he said in surprise.

Boom!

As soon as he spoke, a terrifying black palm seal shot up into the sky from the rubble. Death Qi surged, making a howling sound, and the space instantly turned into a sea of space.

Puff, puff!

Yu Lie was fine, after all, his formidable strength and invincible physique could barely resist the corrosive power of the black palm seal. But Situ Lei and the Second Elder were not so lucky. Under the invasion of the palm seal's Death Qi, they both spewed a mouthful of blood, their faces turning extremely pale.

"How is it possible to be this strong?!"

Situ Lei's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, his figure retreating instantly. The Second Elder was no better off, his face full of shock as he looked at Ku Teng, as if seeing him for the first time.

Boom!

Chu Ming stepped out of the rubble, his expression indifferent, but his eyes were icy cold. His withered right foot stomped hard on the rubble, flattening the entire council hall ruins.

Chu Ming's figure turned into a black light, moving like a shadow with the wind. He launched a palm strike towards Yu Lie.

Boom!

Yu Lie was not afraid at all, raising his fist to meet the strike. His whole body erupted in flames, the terrifying physical power compressing continuously. Waves of power rippled, causing the void to appear like fish scales, spreading in layers.

Bang, bang, bang, bang…

A battle between immortals, mortals suffer!

The two fought fiercely, creating a terrifying momentum. White Qi waves swept wildly, forcing even Situ Lei and the Second Elder to retreat.

"Why is he so strong?!"

The sudden show of strength from Ku Teng left Situ Lei utterly bewildered. Simultaneously, he felt a vague sense of unease, finally realizing he had made a grievous mistake earlier.

The strength Ku Teng displayed was in no way inferior to Yu Lie's. If Yu Lie won, the Second Elder would become the Vice Sect Leader, making Situ Lei's life difficult. But if Yu Lie lost, given Ku Teng's dominance, the Vice Sect Leader position would surely be his, and with Situ Lei's previous attitude towards him, his life wouldn't be easy either.

However, he still hoped Ku Teng would die!

Bang, bang, bang…

Palm Seal and Fist Force intertwined, tearing and exploding in the air. Yu Lie resembled a giant engulfed in flames, every move affecting the terrifying spiritual power of heaven and earth.

"Useless, you can't possibly defeat me!"

Yu Lie said coldly, launching two waves of fire with his fists, "Though Ku Teng's strength astonished him, he had great confidence in his ability."

"How would you know without trying?"

Chu Ming smiled coldly, his skeletal face adding a sinister feel.

While avoiding using his Sword Dao Cultivation, his strength had been halved. However, his physical prowess remained unmatched. If not, he wouldn't have been able to spar with Yu Lie for so long using just the Black Wood Palm.

Boom!

"Black Wood Palm!"

Chu Ming shouted, unleashing a terrifying fist force that swirled around his fist like a black whirlpool, turning everything into decay.

This palm strike seemed to contain the power of time, bringing silence to the entire world.

Yu Lie's pupils shrunk, no longer daring to underestimate Chu Ming. Under this palm strike, he clearly sensed the scent of death.

"Punch of Ten Thousand Flames!"

Boom!

Yu Lie's black robe billowed, the Fire Elemental Power of the heavens and earth swept crazily. He looked like a fierce sun, absorbing the Fire Essence of the heavens and earth, converging it into his right fist. This punch could annihilate Situ Lei and the Second Elder. It was his full strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two figures collided in the air, the catastrophic power spreading. Countless palaces and houses collapsed, gray airflow swept wildly. Under this blow, half of Lvbo City shattered, blood splattered in the sky. Everything within a kilometer of their battleground, except Situ Lei and the Second Elder, couldn't withstand the pressure and exploded, turning into a blood mist.

"He should be dead now, right?"

Situ Lei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, silently hoping. Despite the deep-rooted prestige of Yu Lie, he still didn't believe Chu Ming could be his match.

"Die!"

In mid-air, Yu Lie's right hand suddenly turned into a claw, aiming for Chu Ming's chest. The fiery glow formed a three-inch sharp point, piercing through the air.

"Hmph!"

Chu Ming let out a cold snort, his body slightly swaying. Terrifying trembling force erupted from within, his body particles vibrating tens of millions of times, causing the space to ripple, already shattered beyond repair.

Boom!

Chu Ming stretched out his left hand, forming a black whirlpool palm, and aimed it directly at Yu Lie.
