Chapter 1756: I Am Just Forcing You

The soil beneath the ruins shifted, and then Jiutun crawled out from within with great difficulty.

He usually paid extreme attention to his image, and his head of red hair was quite elegant, but after crawling out of the dirt, Jiutun was now covered in dust and grime; his image had long since ceased to exist.

"Bastard, bastard..." Jiutun hissed. He was a person with a cleanliness obsession; he could not endure such suffering—this was even more unbearable than killing him.

He violently shook the dust off his body, and then, with a fierce, heavy punch, he assaulted Chen Yu.

Responding to him was a heavy slap from Chen Yu, and Jiutun's figure flew out again like a kite with a broken string.

Before he could land, Chen Yu flashed, his person already a hundred meters in the air. He clenched his fist, Primordial Qi condensed around it, and then, aiming at the falling Jiutun, he smashed down with another punch.

Pure Primordial Qi, smashed down with one punch, without any flashy martial techniques. Boom—a pit several fathoms wide appeared in the ground. After a burst of dust and smoke flashed by, Jiutun appeared blankly inside the pit, looking up at the sky with a face of utter despair.

Seeing Chen Yu flash forward again, Jiutun had no choice but to forcibly muster his strength to meet Chen Yu.

Bang—another heavy punch smashed down, brushing directly against his face. Jiutun plunged headfirst into the pit, his head buried deep in the ground like a radish.

Chen Yu stood at the edge of the pit, looking down with a mocking expression as he forcibly pulled his head out of the pit and sat on the ground, covered in dust and grime.

"Continue?" Chen Yu smiled.

Jiutun shook his head; his brain was still buzzing right now. Continue? He could not continue.

Looking at his dusty and disheveled appearance, Chen Yu gave a faint smile. He flicked a palm through the air toward Jiutun in the pit. With another boom, Jiutun's body was forcibly thrown out.

He lay on the ground motionless; although he was not dead, he was already as good as dead.

He could endure the pain in his physical body, but his arrogance was now being ruthlessly trampled under Chen Yu's feet—this was what he could not stand.

"Alright, stop playing dead." Chen Yu kicked him over.

"Why... don't you just kill me?" Jiutun turned his head, glaring at Chen Yu with hatred.

He remembered that the first time he met Chen Yu, he and Chen Yu were evenly matched, and in the end, Chen Yu only won a miserable victory.

But the last time he saw Chen Yu, he already dared not act rashly, because the aura on Chen Yu's body could completely overwhelm him.

Until this time seeing Chen Yu, he was being ruthlessly tortured in the form of a one-sided beating.

He was unwilling; he did not know what secret Chen Yu had that allowed his rate of progress to be so fast, which he could not understand.

"Killing you? How boring. Aren't you self-proclaimed as a god?" Chen Yu smiled: "Although you are a fake god, you at least have the word 'god' attached to you. Isn't it very satisfying to pin someone like you to the ground and rub you into the dirt?"

"You are trampling on my dignity." Jiutun glared at Chen Yu with hatred, his face full of anger.

"That's right, I am trampling on your dignity and destroying your will. I want to let those poisoned by the Apocalypse Society see what kind of thing they worship." Chen Yu kicked toward Jiutun's face.

Boom—Jiutun was kicked into the soil again. His body's durability was quite good, and Chen Yu did not truly deal a lethal blow.

So, despite being beaten so hard, other than leaving some injuries on his face, his main body did not suffer much damage.

But Jiutun could not accept this brutal beating; he let out a miserable howl and stood up abruptly.

With a wave of his right hand, his Wine Gourd merged with him. A divine light appeared on his body, and he instantly changed into a majestic appearance; he was going to fight Chen Yu to the death.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face again. He did not last five seconds in Chen Yu's hands before being pierced through the chest by the Lichen Sword, and then he lay on the ground gasping for air violently.

His blood also turned from pale gold to bright red, and his Divine Power was rapidly draining away along with his blood.

"You are forcing me." Jiutun wiped the blood from his lips fiercely and looked up, staring fixedly at Chen Yu.

"That's right, I am indeed forcing you. I want to know what someone like you will do when in a desperate situation." Chen Yu leaned down to stare at him and then smiled: "If you have any trump cards, just bring them out. If you don't bring them out now, they will be useless later."

"I am just a clone." Jiutun stood up with difficulty: "If I forcibly extract Causality Power from my main body, what do you think will happen?"

"You shouldn't do that, right?" Chen Yu narrowed his eyes: "First, even if you extract it, with the endurance of this body of yours, you cannot drive it directly. Second, if you fail and this clone is destroyed, that is equivalent to saying your main body is also destroyed. I don't think you would take such a risk."

"Heh, that's not necessarily true." Jiutun grinned hideously: "Chen Yu, you have already forced me into a dead end. If you force me further, I will perish together with you."

"That's quite impressive." Chen Yu did not take this guy's threat seriously at all. He tilted his head and said: "Why don't you bring out your trump card and let me see it?"

"Are you really a lunatic? Are you not afraid of death? If I once activate the Source Power within my main body, you will surely die." Jiutun roared.

"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Chen Yu struck his head with a palm, and with a thud, Jiutun's head was once again smashed heavily into the ground.

"Come on, let me see your trump card. I want to know what kind of astonishing power a thing that claims to be a god can erupt with in its most desperate moment. I want to see your so-called 'perish together' tactic." Chen Yu grinned.

Jiutun dared not, because this was only a clone; if the clone died, he still had other clones and other opportunities to awaken.

But if this clone of his used the power of the main body now, it would be equivalent to forcibly awakening the main body; if he failed, he would face death in the true sense.

More importantly, even if he summoned the main body, in his current state, he had no way to activate the power of the main body; he still needed to rely on the statue that Baqi left in this world.

He could not afford to gamble, nor could he afford to fight.

However, the subsequent humiliation from Chen Yu drove him mad.

Beating him and ravaging him was one thing, but more importantly, he even spat on him. Jiutun could no longer endure it. He waved his right hand, and the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed; he had used the power of his main body.

"If you had used this power earlier, you wouldn't have been pinned to the ground and rubbed into the dirt by me for so long." Chen Yu smiled slightly, looking up at Jiutun, who had grown several times larger above him.
