Chapter 399: Chapter 193: Thousand Snows Annihilation
The highly raised fist suddenly unfurled into a palm.
A Dharma Aspect, roughly twenty feet tall with six arms, three eyes, and a wrathful expression, appeared behind Fang Shuwen without any warning.
Great Black Heaven God Palm—Mighty Virtue Demon Subduing!!
Snowflakes had already landed on Fang Shuwen.
But it was as if they had never existed...
By the time Mu Tiange realized this, confusion filled his eyes.
This was Snow Silence, the strongest, most ruthless, and most inescapable move of the Thousand Snow Annihilation Grand Art.
’But why did it have no effect on Fang Shuwen?’
Before this question could be answered, a world-shaking palm strike was already surging forward.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of violent explosions erupted.
The River of Sword Qi finally struck, but it was suppressed by the Mighty Virtue Demon Subduing technique, held less than half a foot from Fang Shuwen’s palm.
The first roar echoed the instant the two currents of Inner Strength clashed.
The massive chair carved from giant stone behind them suddenly exploded, creating the second roar.
The terrifying force propelled the River of Sword Qi, engulfing both Ye Wufeng and Mu Tiange. It drove them back relentlessly until they were slammed hard against a wall of the Sword God Pavilion—a wall over five feet thick.
It was a good thing the wall was so thick; otherwise, they would have been blasted clean out of the Sword God Pavilion.
And that was the source of the third roar.
"ARGH!!!"
Ye Wufeng let out a furious roar. With his back against the wall, the Sword Qi in his palm flowed like a surging river, rushing without end.
Mu Tiange, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, simultaneously threw out a palm strike of his own.
Endless waves of snow merged with the Sword Qi. The two immensely powerful forces and the massive Palm Seal of Mighty Virtue Demon Subduing pulled and tangled with each other in mid-air.
The overflowing Palm Power and Sword Qi, and even the drifting snowflakes, shattered the floor of the Sword God Pavilion, carving deep marks all around.
The window lattice exploded with a BANG! The nearest Coiling Dragon Pillar was left scarred and battered.
The force rocketing skyward tore the roof clean off.
As their Inner Strengths continued to spread and flow, the ground beneath their feet began to crack wildly. With the three of them at the epicenter, the heaving floor rippled outwards in all directions like ocean waves.
BOOM BOOM BOOM, BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Fierce explosions rang out one after another. The aftershocks spread, accompanied by the continuous sounds of CRACK! CRACK! Fissures crawled all over the walls of the Sword God Pavilion.
Sun Buping, who had been about to enter, saw this and quickly called for Fang Dabao to run away.
"Hurry, run! It’s going to collapse!!"
But when he turned around, Fang Dabao was already long gone.
Sun Buping was speechless; it seemed this Exotic Beast of Fang Shuwen’s understood its master better than anyone.
The turn of events was complex, but from Sun Buping’s perspective, all he saw was Fang Shuwen charging Ye Wufeng without a second word. Before Fang Shuwen’s punch had even fully landed, Mu Tiange launched a sudden sneak attack.
Immediately after, things had escalated to this, and the Sword God Pavilion began to teeter on the verge of collapse.
The entire process was unbelievably fast.
This made Sun Buping swallow whatever words he had been about to say.
He and Ye Wufeng shared a feud as deep as the sea. Logically speaking, they should have had a long talk to clear up the events of the past.
And shouldn’t Fang Shuwen have at least argued with Ye Wufeng about Ye Bai and Ye Wucheng?
But none of that happened...
The impression Sun Buping got was that Fang Shuwen hadn’t come to settle a grudge at all; he had come here purely to kill Ye Wufeng.
And yet, once Ye Wufeng was dead, the grudge would indeed be gone.
’Thinking about it that way, Fang Shuwen’s approach doesn’t seem wrong after all.’
As these chaotic thoughts ran through his mind, he heard a deafening explosion.
The teetering Sword God Pavilion, finally unable to withstand the onslaught of three of the era’s greatest masters, shattered to pieces as if in a fit of rage.
Sun Buping felt the ground shake violently beneath his feet. He immediately executed his Lightweight Technique, crossing several dozen feet in a single stride. Only after a few more steps did he turn back to look.
The Sword God Pavilion was now a pile of ruins, though not all of the eighteen Coiling Dragon Pillars had collapsed.
Fang Shuwen stood atop one of them, his hands behind his back. As snowflakes drifted down around him, he looked for all the world like a transcendent immortal.
Meanwhile, directly across from him, two figures stood side by side.
But compared to Fang Shuwen’s casual elegance, the other two looked far more disheveled.
Fang Shuwen’s palm strike had been intended to kill. Although these two top masters of the Northern Domain Martial World had managed to barely withstand it by joining forces, escaping completely unscathed was just wishful thinking.
In truth, Fang Shuwen was also quite surprised.
"You two are truly worthy of being called masters. The fact that you could take a palm strike like that has been a real eye-opener for me!"
Sun Buping grimaced when he heard that.
Fang Shuwen was from a younger generation. His opponents were the Northern Domain Sword God, a legend of the Jianghu, and Mu Tiange, the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Snow Pavilion.
If either one of them so much as stomped their foot, the entire Northern Domain would tremble.
Yet at this moment, Fang Shuwen’s words made it sound as if he didn’t see them as his equals at all.
On the contrary, he seemed rather pleased that they had managed to endure his palm strike...
That single sentence, containing not a single curse word, was more humiliating than any insult could ever be.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Ye Wufeng’s eyes turned bloodshot.
Mu Tiange was incandescent with rage.
"You... Fang! Don’t you dare be so arrogant!!"
"Hm?"
Fang Shuwen shook his head.
"Perhaps you and I are not very familiar with each other, but anyone who knows me knows that I am never arrogant."
"In fact, I am a true gentleman, well-versed in etiquette and steadfast in integrity."
"Then again, you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you..."
