Chapter 997: Fighting Fanni

That person was clad in ancient battle armor covered in cracks and rust.

The edges of the armor had long since peeled away, revealing shriveled, charred skin riddled with holes as if gnawed by malice, and a few strands of withered hair flowed out from beneath the corroded steel helmet.

He rested one hand on his knee, gripping a similarly broken longsword.

The blade was coated in congealed, ink-colored turbid liquid, which dripped occasionally, carving tiny, corrosive trails into the void.

As the pitch-black malice from within the void flowed into his body.

His aura also gradually became powerful and terrifying.

Until the next moment.

He slowly raised his head, his neck making 'crack-crack' sounds.

Two points of ghostly green light slowly ignited; there was no heaven-shaking pressure, only deathly stillness remained.

He looked at Zhang Huizhi:

"Who... are you?"

Zhang Huizhi's gaze was calm.

Fanni was indeed reshaping his physical body; although this body was newborn and not as powerful as the original Fanni,

the current Fanni possessed an Ancient God status that surpassed the original Bai E.

In other words, this malicious newborn entity alone was more powerful than Bai E.

Another piece of bad news was that the current Fanni had completely lost all reason.

He would not even produce a shred of self-doubt or struggle.

The other party's last bit of reason had long since dissipated on that day when he bestowed the Ancient God status upon Chen Yan.

At this moment, Fanni was a thoroughly evil crop.

The only advantage.

Was that this Fanni was not yet a complete entity; his physical body had not been fully forged.

At this time, time was life!

Zhang Huizhi raised one hand.

Boom!

A pitch-black stream of light struck from afar.

Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!

Countless pitch-black scales and a pitch-black long spear appeared; the Heavenly God Armor and the Ninth-Rank Simulation Core merged, and the Cinder-Evil Spear was held in Zhang Huizhi's hand.

Xia Hanzhou subconsciously wanted to ask what Li Zhiyi would use, but he held back.

The current Fanni was the most terrifying.

The next moment.

Boom!

Zhang Huizhi's figure flickered, appearing instantly above Fanni's head, striking out with the spear; the power of will and the power of True Martial exploded instantly.

Thud!

A low, deep roar rang out instantly, and a terrifying shockwave swept through the entire Shattered King's Court, flipping over one floating building after another.

Fanni grabbed the Cinder-Evil Spear with one hand, his dark eyes looking at Zhang Huizhi.

Zhang Huizhi's eyes trembled.

Crack-crack-crack!

Sounds of shattering rang out, and cracks spread across the Cinder-Evil Spear.

"Charge!"

Xia Zhiyang roared.

Boom-boom-boom!

Almost in an instant.

Xia Zhiyang, Xia Hanzhou, the Universe Master, and the Elemental Master rushed toward Fanni in a pincer formation.

Thud!

Space froze instantly, and terrifying malice swept through everyone's mind.

Crack!

The Cinder-Evil Spear was instantly crushed, emitting a low, mournful wail as it exploded into countless fragments.

Pfft-pfft-pfft!

The shattered fragments of the Cinder-Evil Spear splattered wildly, shooting into the bodies of Xia Hanzhou and the Elemental Master.

Almost in an instant, everyone was knocked back.

"Pfft!"

The Elemental Master spat out a mouthful of blood; a fragment of the Cinder-Evil Spear mixed with malice had entered her body.

In the blink of an eye, twisted black cracks began to appear on her physical body.

Driven by the desire to survive, the Elemental Master's next instinctive action was to rush toward Zhang Huizhi.

With a squelch!

Zhang Huizhi thrust a hand into the Elemental Master's abdomen, the power of will erupting to devour and extinguish that trace of malice.

On the other side, Xia Hanzhou's left arm had already begun to rot from the impact, and the intense malice was still flowing toward Xia Hanzhou's main trunk.

With a squelch.

Xia Hanzhou severed his arm, blood spraying out.

It was only for an instant.

The divine artifact shattered, and the two Ninth-Rankers were heavily wounded!

This is the strength of Fanni!

The next moment.

Hum!

A tall figure suddenly appeared before Xia Hanzhou.

Xia Hanzhou raised his eyes, his pupils shrinking wildly, his body trembling violently.

Boom!

The long sword swung, slashing toward Xia Hanzhou's neck like a lingering shadow.

"Kill!!!"

A low roar resounded at the same time.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Countless lasers and bullets instantly shot toward Fanni.

The Universe Lord immediately operated his mechanical body at full power, arms pressed together, mechanical parts intersecting to form tens of thousands of gun barrels, firing crazily.

In just this instant, Fanni's momentum of attack was blocked.

But the moment the bullets touched Fanni's physical body, they were instantly corroded into black smoke by malice.

At the same time.

A great sun of blue light pressed down from above Fanni's head.

Xia Zhiyang pushed the great sun of Qi and blood horizontally, smashing it directly onto Fanni's head.

Hiss!

Fanni raised one hand, and a withered claw lifted the blue light sun directly.

Boom!

The massive malice instantly surged upward, eroding the Qi and blood sun, and instantly pounced onto Xia Zhiyang.

Sizzle!

Xia Zhiyang's arms were instantly corroded; as his body flew backward, he directly severed his own arms.

"Xia Dragon Spear!"

Boom!

Xia Hanzhou spun and stepped, the long spear lashing back.

The spear tip broke the wind with a sharp whistle, carrying a galloping dragon shadow, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, stabbing directly toward Fanni's chest.

Bang!

Fanni took a step back.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Hanzhou's mouth, but the next instant he could no longer smile.

Because his long spear was being rapidly devoured and extinguished.

Hum!

A powerful suction force erupted from within Fanni's body, ten thousand paths of malice surged, and Xia Hanzhou's body flew crazily toward Fanni.

Fanni reached out a hand, grabbing toward Xia Hanzhou's neck.

"Damn it!"

Xia Hanzhou cursed.

"Ten Thousand Domain Barrier!"

A crisp female voice rang out.

The Elemental Lord pressed her palms together, and the space was instantly filled with endless chaotic elements.

Time seemed to slow down, and the speed at which Xia Hanzhou flew toward Fanni also slowed down.

Xia Hanzhou's throat choked, his neck about to make contact with Fanni.

He knew that as long as he touched Fanni, he would undoubtedly die.

He even wanted to cut off his own protruding Adam's apple right now.

"Control Decay—Holy Condensation Primordial!"

Zhang Huizhi's face was violent; all over his body, hundreds of pitch-black light orbs circulated as he charged over.

The next instant.

He slammed his palm, containing a pitch-black light orb, into Fanni's chest.

Boom!

A 【Holy Condensation Primordial】 exploded, and brilliant flowing fire splashed out from the contact surface between Zhang Huizhi's palm and Fanni's body.

The terrifying air wave blew Xia Hanzhou away.

Zhang Huizhi, however, ignored everything else and continued to throw punches at Fanni.

Boom, boom, boom!

On the surface of every fist was a 【Holy Condensation Primordial】.

This was a fighting style that treated ultimate moves as basic attacks.

Even though the True Martial Power and Willpower within Zhang Huizhi's body were vast to the extreme, he could not hold on for too long with such a fighting style.

Hiss!

Fanni was continuously beaten back.

"Fierce!"

The Universe Lord let out a low shout, and the next moment he soared into the air, his mechanical body operating crazily, his arms merging to transform into a slender gun barrel.

Hum!

At the tip of the gun, a cross-shaped flame condensed and formed.

On the retina of Yu Zhu, a torrent of numbers surged, frantically calculating the timing to fire.

The next moment.

Boom!

Fanni slammed a foot into the physical body of Zhang Huizhi.

Pfft!

The Heavenly God Armor was instantly shattered, a massive bloody wound appeared on Zhang Huizhi's abdomen, and he flew backward.

Hiss!

Fanni turned into an afterimage and lunged toward Zhang Huizhi.

At the same time.

Bang!

Yu Zhu fired!

A stream of fire instantly pierced through the bloody wound on Zhang Huizhi's abdomen and struck Fanni's forehead.

Thud!

It was as if the heavens and earth had been violently struck at this moment.

Fanni's head jerked up, a golden bullet sank into his scalp, and was instantly corroded into ash by malice.

Yu Zhu's eyes flashed wildly.

Does Fanni know how much that shot just now cost Yuzhou?

It actually only broke a sliver of skin.

At this moment, Yu Zhu witnessed the power of an Ancient God.

"Move aside!"

A low roar rang out, and Yu Zhu instantly shifted his position.

Xia Zhiyang rushed past him, Qi and blood surging violently from his severed arm, condensing into a blood-colored stone stele hundreds of meters high, which crashed down toward Fanni.

The dark green flames in Fanni's eyes flared intensely; instead of retreating, he advanced, his withered body erupting with terrifying strength as he slammed straight into the blood-colored stone stele.

A harsh cracking sound!

The stone stele was instantly covered in cracks, then shattered into a sky full of blood mist; Xia Zhiyang was sent flying by the rebounding force, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

Hiss!

A low screech resounded.

With Fanni at the center, a towering black flame instantly swirled up, and the entire land began to burn like an apocalyptic hellscape.

In the void, black cracks appeared one after another, and the next moment they transformed into eyeballs of various sizes, staring at everyone.

Zhang Huizhi and the others retreated rapidly, scraping against the ground.

But cold light erupted from every one of their eyes.

Today, not a single person will retreat!
