The Demon with Holy Radiance-Chapter 191 - 175: Shoring Up the Weakness! You Have This Function Too?

Worry immediately appeared on Wen Yin and Zhou Quan's faces.

The man clearly had no intention of letting them go. He was going to see this through to the end.

Yang An's eyes narrowed slightly.

'Bring it on!'

'This is a good chance to see how my own strength measures up against a Cultivator with such immense Physical Power.'

'If this is the Cultivation System of the Outer Continent, maybe I can even try learning it.'

'My offensive abilities are already maxed out. If I can just shore up my weakness in Physical Power, my overall strength will see a massive boost.'

"Get back! And stay far away!"

He said to Wen Yin and Zhou Quan in a low voice. The two of them were sensible enough to retreat a good distance.

But having already witnessed the man's strength, they were now even more worried for Yang An.

After all, Yang An hadn't been able to withstand a single punch from the Yellow Dragon Daoist, and the Yellow Dragon Daoist himself had fled pathetically from this man. It was clear that these Cultivators from the Outer Continent were no ordinary opponents.

'Can Senior Brother really win?'

The Mana in his body was draining rapidly. Although the Mora Buddha's Acupoint gave him an extra acupoint for storing a Magical Artifact, Yang An decided to test the waters briefly before aiming for a swift victory.

This was his fighting style, after all. If he couldn't end the battle quickly, then once his Mana was depleted, his only option would be to activate the Celestial Gnomon Body.

But the Celestial Gnomon Body wasn't a Technique that enhanced his physical body; it was one that channeled the Celestial Gnomon Light, the Power of the Sun.

Only the Qi Guang Technique could augment his physical body and strength. If his Celestial Gnomon Body couldn't get close to the enemy, he wouldn't be able to kill them.

In the next instant, Yang An pulled a line of light, appearing before the man in a flash.

Great Light Seal!

This was his most practiced Fist Technique, and it also amplified his strength!

In the blink of an eye, Yang An landed dozens of punches, each one striking the man's chest.

The man's once-muscular chest immediately caved in, leaving a depression the size of a washbasin.

But the man just sneered coldly. His body shuddered, swelled, and rapidly recovered. He threw a backhand punch at Yang An.

Two massive fists shot forward. Yang An quickly caught them, but the powerful impact instantly sent him sliding back several meters. A gale swept past him, sending sand and stones flying as a deep trench was carved into the ground.

His flesh trembled slightly and quickly recovered. Yang An's expression remained unchanged.

The man, however, lifted his hands and looked at his palms. The flesh was charred black, as if it had been roasted over a fire.

A flash of confusion crossed the man's brow.

'What kind of Technique is this?'

'My physical body is already incredibly tough. How could my palms end up like this just from touching him twice?'

'How strange!'

The charred skin fell away instantly, replaced by new flesh that grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just then, several streaks of Golden Radiance flashed, stabbing into the man's body.

However, they were stopped by his flesh and skin, penetrating only a fraction of an inch before they could go no further.

"Pathetic tricks!"

The man roared and charged at Yang An. The black patterns that had only adorned his four arms now rapidly spread to cover his entire body.

'Die!'

Four fists fell like a violent storm!

A Golden Radiance manifested, forming a barrier in front of Yang An, but it shattered in an instant.

Using that brief opening, Yang An retreated at high speed, but he hadn't expected the man to suddenly accelerate and close the distance in an instant.

'I can't escape. My only choice is to fight back!'

The two clashed in a physical collision. The dissipated energy and powerful impacts created a thunderous roar. A series of explosions echoed through the air, and the ground continuously collapsed, forming one crater after another.

The next moment, Yang An was sent flying backward, while the man was also forced back several steps.

Yang An once again crashed heavily to the ground, his hands reduced to mangled flesh, the bones within completely shattered.

As a wave of excruciating pain washed over him, his body rapidly recovered, and the pain quickly faded.

On the other side, the man's hands were also completely charred. His fingers had vanished, and the flesh was sloughing off as new tissue writhed and rapidly regenerated.

'Even the Light Absorption Form of my Qi Guang Technique is being suppressed? And this is supposed to be its strongest physical enhancement form, with all my Light Magic absorbed into my body.'

'It seems this person's physical Cultivation System is truly formidable!'

Yang An panted heavily, his chest rising and falling.

'Attacking an enemy's strength with my own weakness is not as easy as I thought.'

'But now that I've seen what he's capable of, it's time to finish him. I'll have to use my full strength!'

Celestial Gnomon Body!

His body was already filled with a splendid radiance, but now an incandescent white light mingled with it, emitting a scorching heatwave.

At this moment, Yang An's figure was completely consumed by light. His face was no longer visible; he had become a being of pure light.

At the same time, the man glared at Yang An with overflowing killing intent. His failure to kill Yang An in their successive clashes had truly enraged him.

The man's body began to tremble like a leaf in a storm. The flesh all over him quivered violently, and his frame rapidly expanded.

His already ten-foot-tall frame suddenly grew by half. The two long horns on his head grew even longer, curving down behind him.

The inscribed patterns now covered his entire body. As his flesh contorted, blood vessels began to emerge along the patterns.

The man's massive body suddenly sank. Blood seemed to surge through the vessels. A huge, deep crater abruptly appeared in the ground, and the man's figure vanished.

A sharp pain shot through his internal organs. Yang An's body shuddered as he saw the man appear before him, as if by Instant Teleportation.

"Die!"

"Die!"

The two of them roared at almost the exact same time!

As easily as a stone crushing an egg, the man's hands pierced through Yang An's body, while his other two arms struck toward Yang An's head.

But at that same moment, Yang An's hands plunged into the man's chest just as effortlessly, grabbing hold of his sternum in one practiced motion.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face.

'Feel the radiance of the light!'

CRACK!

Yang An's head shattered like a watermelon.

But at the same time, countless dazzling rays of light erupted from his body, instantly enveloping the man within.

"Run!"

Over a hundred feet away, Wen Yin and Zhou Quan's faces were filled with horror, and they immediately bolted into the distance.

From the center of the light, a blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out.

"Light Magic! This is Light Magic!"

The man's flesh was rapidly dissolving under the intense light. In just a moment, all his skin had turned to ash, and his inner flesh and organs began to melt away.

Feeling this immense power, which seemed to disintegrate and melt everything it touched, the man almost instantly recognized what kind of Technique this was.

Light Magic!

And not just one!

It was many Light Magic techniques all stacked together!

But what horrified him even more was the power of these techniques, which completely surpassed his imagination.

To be able to unleash a Technique of such power while under the suppression of the Outer Continent's Rules, one would have to be at least a Zombie God who had mastered a Forbidden Artifact Fragment.

But this guy opposite him was clearly only at the Early Stage of Corpse Transformation.

In a flash, the man seemed to realize something. Although the skin on his face had completely melted away, revealing a gruesome, fleshy countenance, it still managed to display an expression of utter horror.

"You! You're an Original Spirit!!"

Besides those above the level of a Zombie God, only an Original Spirit could be unaffected by the suppression of the Power of Rules.

And at that very moment, as the source of the radiating light, Yang An's shattered head was rapidly regenerating. This Flesh and Blood Rebirth happened at a speed that completely defied the man's imagination.

A smile formed on Yang An's face.

"Die!"

Yang An held nothing back, pouring out his Mana while tightly gripping the bones within the man's flesh.

BANG!

His arm was instantly broken by a punch, but his other hand had already followed, plunging into the man's body.

"You can't escape!"

A crazed look appeared on Yang An's face!

The man was even more frantic, attempting to sever Yang An's arms while trying to destroy his physical body as quickly as possible.

But just then, countless strands of Golden Radiance manifested, coiling around the man like ropes and burrowing into his flesh, making it impossible for him to struggle free.

One second... two seconds... three seconds...

Each time Yang An's body was shattered, it would quickly recover, maintaining its death grip on the man's body.

All the flesh on the man's body was rapidly dissolving until only some scraps clung to his skeleton. He could no longer even make a sound.

In the final second, even his bones turned completely to ash, his aura utterly annihilated!

Even so, the light persisted, only dispersing rapidly two seconds later.

Yang An gasped heavily, his chest heaving as the shattered flesh all over his body rapidly recovered.

Until the very last moment, the man had been relentlessly attacking him. Only after confirming his enemy was well and truly dead did he finally stop and disperse the light.

HAAAAAH—

"I got it! Delicious! Kid, you really gave this lady a great gift this time! I've never tasted a soul so exquisite!"

The Bow Lady's voice entered Yang An's mind, praising him generously. Apparently, she had seized the opportunity to devour the man's soul the moment he died.

Receiving the Bow Lady's confirmation, Yang An finally let out a long sigh of relief, his heart settling.

'As long as he's dead.'

This battle had forced him to use his full strength, combining the Qi Guang Technique and the Celestial Gnomon Body for the first time, even pushing him to the point of visceral agony.

And yet, even under his full power, the opponent's formidable physical body had still held on for a full several seconds before finally dissolving into ash.

This was the first time Yang An had ever witnessed a physical body that could be so powerful.

'If a mere Corpse Transformation can reach this level, how could I possibly fight if I ran into a Zombie God?'

'It seems that while I continue my search for Light Magic, it's also necessary to try cultivating my physical body.'

'I not only need to keep increasing my offensive power, but I also have to shore up my weaknesses!'

The only pity was that under his brilliant light, absolutely nothing had been left behind, giving him no way to learn about his opponent's Cultivation System.

'If not for the fact that his own belongings were imbued with his aura, and that he could control the light, he'd probably end up stark naked every time he used his Technique.'

He silently lamented the missed opportunity, but there was nothing to be done about it. Yang An calmed himself.

'I've dealt with one bizarre enemy. Next, it's time to make that Yellow Dragon Daoist pay!'

'Every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks they can plot against me! They're courting death!'

But just then, the Bow Lady's voice once again entered Yang An's mind.

"Huh? Kid! I got most of his memories from his soul. You want them?"

Yang An was just about to take off the Bow Lady to go get his revenge when he heard her words and froze.

"You can do that?!"
