Every ten zhang height, approximately holds a force of one hundred thousand catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This giant is over thirty zhang tall, with at least a force of three hundred thousand, four hundred thousand catties not implausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparable to a four-star Body Cultivator of the True Blood Sect, and nearly immortal without fatal weaknesses.\" Immortal Master Qiao, apparently knowledgeable, exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although it’s unclear why you harbor such hatred towards me, today will mark your demise!\" Elder Wang laughed loudly, evidently confident in the Golden Armored Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sight of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Armored Giant raised its enormous palm seemingly forged from bronze and gold, pressing down rapidly towards the black-clad man below like the heavens caving in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the immense force, the air below condensed, forming a thick white mist instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing such a startling blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clad man, instead of dodging, countered fiercely with a punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he insane?’ Everyone in the City Lord’s Mansion gaped in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large hand and smaller hand collided, producing a deafeningly sharp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A visually observable ripple-like white wave formed at the point of collision, spreading violently in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a series of ’boom boom boom boom’ sounds could be heard continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white wave moved with breathtaking speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any structures, trees in the path were toppled and snapped as if struck by a catastrophic hurricane, accompanied by citizens’ screams and cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Golden Armored Giant, considered invincible as heavenly soldiers by everyone, was forced back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the recent clash of absolute strength, it was clearly at a disadvantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible!\" Those from the distant City Lord’s Mansion, all revealed unbelievable shock in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly ordinary man, indistinct from a normal person, unexpectedly repelled the Golden Armored Giant formed by a Daoist Soldier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imagery was so strikingly impactful, leaving their emotions turbulent for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\" Elder Wang’s countenance too was shaken immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their previous encounter, he could roughly gauge the Body Cultivator’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from occasional bursts releasing potential, for the most part, it seemed at around two to three hundred thousand catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time employing the Daoist Soldier was largely to guard against that Body Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to the Great Elder, the Daoist Soldier’s strength reached almost five hundred thousand catties, how could it not be its opponent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he erupted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Elder Wang quickly realized he was mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a direct clash, Lou Yi struck blow for blow, hard upon hard, once again forcing the Golden Armored Giant back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time the Golden Armored Giant retreated, it would leave a giant crater, the surrounding ground trembling violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi, under eight zhang tall, outright bullied the thirty zhang Golden Armored Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced it to retreat persistently, utterly unable to counterattack, the scene was intensely dramatic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to them, after acquiring the Wolf Bone Talent, Lou Yi’s Basic Strength had reached three hundred thousand catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the fifty percent strength booster from the Wolf Bone Talent’s active skill, it impressively reached four hundred fifty thousand catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the secondary strength stacking from the Dragon-piercing Technique, it definitely exceeded five hundred thousand catties, achieving approximately five hundred and sixty-seven thousand catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi, like a cannonball, leapt from the ground, delivering another punch that struck the Golden Armored Giant’s chest violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its chest sparkled brightly for a moment, as the Golden Armored Giant stumbled back seven or eight steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it plopped down onto a half-demolished building, flattening it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1274,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.889Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","3b61b8e7e0d9296e15e118fcf0d6e75f4e97e43c10e5128eba7ebf2243e3a449","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-421","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-419",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
