Chapter 384: Chapter 188: Monstrous Sins
With a mere thought from him, an even more terrifying roar erupted.
Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield—Buddhist Thunder Sound!
Any attack converted into Formless Sound Gang would be returned manifold in the form of the Buddhist Thunder Sound.
This was the most unreasonable aspect of the technique.
’Not only can you not break my defense, I can even reflect it back...’
Zhao Wuji’s saber strike had led to this outcome. He was seething with uncontrollable rage, sinking into a deep pit of self-doubt.
But then he saw it—an unstoppable force, far more turbulent and terrifying than his own attack, rushing straight for him.
Fortunately, Zhao Wuji’s attack wasn’t based on speed. It relied on its overwhelming presence and terrifying saber intent to pin down an opponent.
Thus, even when amplified by the Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield, the speed of the Buddhist Thunder Sound didn’t completely surpass Zhao Wuji’s ability to react.
With a twist of his feet, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
But a wretched scream rang out!
Although Zhao Wuji had evaded the brunt of the attack, he hadn’t managed to dodge it completely.
One of his arms was instantly pulverized by the Buddhist Thunder Sound.
As blood flew, he subconsciously glanced back, only to see the terrifying rebounding force plowing a path straight ahead.
Buildings shattered and deep fissures tore through the streets. The force rampaged onward. Though it lacked the unstoppable sharpness of the Seven Emotions and Seven Sins Heaven-Slaying Saber, its power was so immense that it ran rampant, blasting out of Cold Valley Town in one go and crashing into some unknown destination.
Zhao Wuji’s pupils shrank. He turned back again, only to see a fist already in his face.
BANG!
Zhao Wuji was sent flying into the air.
Fang Shuwen didn’t let up. He unleashed a flurry of attacks, alternating between the Great Black Heaven God Palm and the Sea-Shaking Divine Fist. Each fist and palm struck Zhao Wuji, forcing him backward through the air, completely unable to touch the ground.
However, Fang Shuwen was deliberately controlling his power, as he didn’t want to kill Zhao Wuji outright.
After all, he still had questions for him.
Zhao Wuji roared in fury, trying to escape the predicament with his one remaining arm.
But the moment he extended it, Fang Shuwen caught it. The Plum Blossom Scattering Hand already contained clever grappling techniques, and in Fang Shuwen’s hands, the art had been elevated to a whole new level.
During his time with the Fourfold Comprehension buff, he had also gone through one major battle after another.
All of it had become nourishment for this martial art.
In truth, his Plum Blossom Scattering Hand had long since transcended its original boundaries. It was countless times more profound than the version Zheng Sihai had first taught him.
With a thought from Fang Shuwen, a series of sickening CRACKS echoed from the right arm of Zhao Wuji, who had already lost his left.
In a single moment, Fang Shuwen’s power had surged through his arm and shattered every bone within it.
Zhao Wuji let out another wretched scream. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes glaring at Fang Shuwen, filled with an all-consuming rage.
And yet... he was utterly powerless.
Fang Shuwen casually grabbed his head and delivered two swift kicks. THUD! THUD!
He had shattered the bones in Zhao Wuji’s legs.
Then, he simply dragged him back to Long Qingzhi’s side.
Long Qingzhi was already completely dumbfounded.
She had known throughout their journey just how skilled Fang Shuwen was in Martial Arts.
But even so, she had never imagined his skills could be *this* profound.
In the instant the Seven Emotions and Seven Sins Heaven-Slaying Saber descended, she had thought she was dead for sure.
But before she could even begin to hate herself for leading Fang Shuwen into such a death trap, the entire situation had been turned on its head.
That world-shaking strike, aside from bringing apocalyptic disaster to Cold Valley Town, hadn’t caused them a single scratch.
Instead, the once-unstoppably powerful Zhao Wuji had been dragged back by Fang Shuwen in a matter of moments, just like a dead dog.
Fang Shuwen hopped onto Fang Dabao’s back in a single step and called out to Long Qingzhi.
"Let’s go."
Long Qingzhi froze for a second, then clambered up without a moment’s hesitation.
Fang Dabao let out a beastly roar. Its body unfurled, and like a black-and-white bolt of lightning, it vanished in the blink of an eye.
It was naturally very fast, but Fang Shuwen hadn’t let it travel at full speed during their journey.
Now that it was finally allowed to cut loose, Fang Dabao felt utterly content. After they were dozens of miles from Cold Valley Town, it even turned its head to give Fang Shuwen a smug look.
Fang Shuwen swatted it on the head in annoyance.
"Don’t get cocky. Stop here, this is far enough."
Fang Dabao stopped in its tracks. Fang Shuwen told Long Qingzhi to wait there while he dragged Zhao Wuji off into the distance.
Just then, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
’Did I forget something?’
But after a glance at the captive Zhao Wuji, he shook his head. ’The most important thing right now is getting the information I want out of him.’
He had no idea that dozens of miles away in Cold Valley Town, Zhao Ziying was watching helplessly as Fang Shuwen rode off on Fang Dabao at lightning speed.
He subconsciously took a few steps in pursuit.
"W-w-wait... I’m not... You left me behind!"
But it was no use. Fang Dabao was too fast for him to catch up, and Fang Shuwen’s mind was completely preoccupied with an old feud.
If he hadn’t chosen to move away at that moment, if he had stayed by Fang Shuwen’s side, he might not have been forgotten.
Alas... it was too late now.
Figures began to appear before Zhao Ziying, one after another.
Zhao Ziying sighed and turned to face the other members of his clan.
