Chapter 256: The Decisive Battle at the Fang Family (Part II)

"You bitch, as a daughter-in-law of the Fang Family, you actually deceived us for so long and colluded with outsiders to murder my son. You deserve to die!"

Fang Shifeng roared: "Since you have such a good constitution, I will drain you dry right now, and then bury your corpse in the Medicine Garden as fertilizer!"

Fang Shifeng shot toward Su Xiao, unleashing all his True Qi, and threw a punch at Su Xiao's forehead; the move was fierce and ruthless, a killing blow from the very start.

Su Xiao let out a cold snort, her entire body radiating a biting chill; she tilted her head to dodge Fang Shifeng's fist and struck his chest with a palm, True Qi surging.

Fang Shifeng stumbled back several steps, the cold True Qi forming an ice flower on his chest.

"Hmph!"

Fang Shifeng shattered the ice flower with a palm and was about to strike again, but the cold Qi entered his body, causing him to stagger and nearly fall.

"You are actually a Postnatal Grandmaster?! How is this possible!"

Fang Shifeng stared fixedly at Su Xiao with a face full of astonishment, looking as if he had missed out on an unparalleled treasure.

Fang Jixian was also filled with regret and remorse; if Su Xiao's constitution could have been used to help him improve his cultivation, he probably would have broken through to the Earth Master Realm long ago!

"Fang Family and Su Family, all our new and old grudges, let's settle them together!"

Su Xiao exhaled a breath of cold air and raised one arm; in an instant, a bone-chilling cold permeated the air.

Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation was released from Su Xiao's body, and for that moment, it felt as if even time had frozen.

Crystal-like solid ice congealed on Su Xiao, turning into a suit of silver-white battle armor.

She looked at the members of the Fang Family before her, her gaze firm and profound, as she continued to slowly raise her arm, palm facing the sky.

Following her movement, the surrounding air began to rapidly condense, the temperature plummeted, and a thin layer of frost and snow quickly covered the ground.

The space around Su Xiao seemed to be distorted by some mysterious power, and the water molecules in the air were rapidly extracted, forming countless tiny ice crystals.

Under her control, these ice crystals began to rotate and gather in the air, gradually forming countless sharp Ice Spikes.

They hovered in the air, shimmering with a cold light, as if they were the brightest stars in the night sky.

The number of Ice Spikes grew, dense and bone-chilling; Su Xiao stood amidst the countless Ice Spikes, like an Ice Queen issuing commands.

A flash of resolution crossed her eyes; she took a deep breath, then suddenly pushed her arm forward.

In an instant, those hovering Ice Spikes, like released arrows, shot toward the enemies with the sound of breaking through the air.

Fang Jixian and Fang Shifeng quickly circulated their True Qi to defend, while the rest of the Fang Family suffered; they either didn't have time to defend, or their defenses were broken with ease.

Screams rang out across the Fang Family; apart from Fang Jixian and Fang Shifeng, all the other Fang Family members fell to the ground.

On the other side, the battle between Chen Che and Zhu Que was also gradually intensifying.

The figures of the two were like two flashes of lightning in the dark night, their fierce collisions emitting blinding sparks.

"Kid, you have the guts to come and kill me before your injuries have fully recovered!"

Zhu Que roared wildly, a fist of flame charging straight at Chen Che's face, the momentum surging and waves of heat rushing toward him.

Chen Che looked surprised and immediately crossed his arms to block the blow, and the two figures finally pulled apart.

Chen Che landed, shook the flames off his sleeves, and stared fixedly at Zhu Que with a fierce expression.

"In one day, your injuries have actually fully healed!"

Chen Che exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hahaha..."

Zhu Que laughed wildly toward the sky, the scorching flames gathering on his severed arm to form a flaming arm.

"You thought that by luckily severing one of my arms you could leave me with incurable wounds? You are too naive! I didn't reach the position of one of the Four Great Protectors of the Martial Arts Alliance by having a name without substance!"

Zhu Que shouted angrily, his True Qi surging and flames shooting into the sky, looking as ferocious and terrifying as a demon god of fire from hell.

Chen Che clenched his fists, a drop of cold sweat rolling down his forehead; he had miscalculated.

He had not expected Zhu Que to recover so quickly! At the same time, he wondered what this guy had relied on to recover.

Pills? No!

The side effects of pills are obvious, yet the True Qi on Zhu Que's body was not the least bit unstable; it was very solid, and there was even a trend toward breaking through to a Post-Heaven Earth Master.

Chen Che swept his gaze toward the Fang Family members on the ground and discovered that many of them had the miserable appearance of having been drained of their True Qi, and he understood in an instant.

"Absorbing the True Qi of others for your own use; so that is the reason you recovered so quickly. The style of the Martial Arts Alliance is truly as consistently base and despicable as ever."

Chen Che mocked; at the same time, True Qi surged on his body, and the Ghost Gate Needle floated around him, emitting a faint, lingering metallic hum.

"As long as one can become stronger, the methods don't matter. Come, Chen Che, today I will send you to reunite with your family!"

Zhu Que grinned hideously and shot toward Chen Che once again.

Chen Che's gaze steadied, and he met Zhu Que's figure; the muffled sound of the impact rang out across the Fang Family once more.

In the bright moonlight, the figures of Chen Che and Zhu Que appeared and disappeared.

Zhu Que was clad in crimson battle armor forged from flames, like the incarnation of fire, every step accompanied by the scorching of the ground and the withering of grass and trees.

Chen Che held nothing back, not hesitating to trigger the Great Red Sun Poison, going all out; the strength he released also reached that of a Post-Heaven Earth Master.

With the addition of Artisan Techniques, an Array Diagram appeared around his body, releasing multicolored hues.

Those represented the moisture of water, the vitality of wood, the steadiness of earth, the swiftness of thunder, and the scorching heat of fire.

"Come!"

Zhu Que roared, took a deep breath, and the surrounding air instantly became scorching hot.

He spread his arms and summoned pillars of fire; the pillars of fire were like angry giant dragons, rushing toward Chen Che with the might of ten thousand scorching flames.

The firelight illuminated the entire Fang Family, dyeing everything around it in a layer of red.

Chen Che responded calmly, formed seals with his hands, and shouted loudly: "Kan Water: Vast Ocean!"

Clear water surged from the ground, rapidly forming curtains of water.

"Bang! Bang!"

The fire pillars struck the water curtains and dissipated in an instant, their power canceled out one by one.

The collision of water and fire produced a large amount of steam, and the entire Fang Family seemed to be shrouded in a mist.

Seeing this, Zhuque did not get angry but laughed instead; the flames floating around him became even more violent, even beginning to devour the surrounding air to form a massive Flame Vortex.

The temperature at the center of the vortex was extremely high, to the point that even space itself seemed to begin to distort!

Fang Jixian, Fang Shifeng, and Su Xiao, who were currently locked in combat, all stopped their movements upon seeing this situation and dodged to the side.

Chen Che, however, was not afraid; he continued to form seals with both hands and slapped the ground with a "Clap!": "Xun Wood: All Things Grow!"

The ground began to tremble, and trees broke through the soil one after another, growing wildly with lush branches and leaves, forming a green barrier in the blink of an eye.

"Gen Earth: Rise!"

Chen Che's low shout rose again, and immediately, a rumbling sound came from the ground as thick Earth Walls rose from the earth, providing solid support for the green barrier.

Seeing this, Zhuque let out a cold snort and mocked, "Using wood and earth to defend against fire, how truly foolish!"

Zhuque continued to release True Energy, and the scale of the Flame Vortex grew larger and larger, directly destroying the Earth Walls; that green barrier was completely exposed to the flames, and it was only a matter of time before it was devoured.

Seeing this situation, Su Xiao, who was hiding to the side watching the battle, could not help but break into a cold sweat.

It was clear that both Chen Che and Zhuque were exerting their full strength; at a time like this, if either side were negligent and took a hit, it would be a fatal blow.

Furthermore, Su Xiao also noticed that Chen Che's complexion was very poor, with fine red blood vessels protruding from his skin like a spider web.

That was a sign of the Great Red Sun Poison flaring up!

This discovery caused Su Xiao's heart, which was already pounding with worry, to jump straight into her throat, fearing he might suffer the slightest mishap!
