Chapter 2078: Chapter 2115: Liew Bao Is Actually Dead

The battle at the front gate was also extremely fierce. The martial artists from the Skeleton Sect and Wu Family were clearly fewer in number than those from the Liew Family Alliance Army, and their strength was somewhat weaker.

The Second Elder barely managed to handle Gu Youchang, yet the Great Elder’s strength slightly surpassed that of the Patriarch of the Liew Family. The Third Elder was being chased and beaten by the Jiang Family Leader, and the situations of the Fourth Elder, Zhuge Qing, and Xue Wu were not optimistic either...

Both sides were fighting desperately, but the difference was that the morale of the Liew Family Alliance Army was sky-high, with shouts of killing resounding in the heavens. Compared to them, the morale of the Wu Family and Skeleton Sect was very low, with some even fighting half-heartedly, ready to flee at any moment, including Xue Wu.

Zhong Wushang sat outside, exerting considerable pressure on both parties even without intervening. As a young master of a Fourth Grade family ranked thirty-fifth among the strong in the Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm, his deterrent power was unbearable to ordinary people.

"Bang!"

The Great Elder released a blast of True Qi, forcing the Patriarch of the Liew Family away, then shouted towards the rear, "Wu Ren! Take action!"

In a room at the back of the castle, an Elder named Wu Ren heard the Great Elder’s roar and reluctantly took out a Medicine Pill, feeding it to a lean Elder lying on the bed.

The pill was of immeasurable value, with worth beyond money. Lying on the bed was Wu Tongtian, the Great Elder’s uncle, ranked fiftieth among the strong in the Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm, the Great Elder’s final resort.

Wu Tongtian was severely injured thirty years ago, and everyone thought he had died. However, unexpectedly, the Great Elder secretly hid him away, treating him for the past thirty years. Now, he had ingested this extraordinary Medicine Pill and might awaken.

Unfortunately...

The pill’s potency was too powerful. Given Wu Tongtian’s current condition, he couldn’t withstand it. Even if forcibly awakened, he could only launch a few attacks before ultimately dying.

But the Wu Family and Skeleton Sect were at their last stand, bound by shared destiny; the Great Elder could no longer afford to hesitate and had to forcefully awaken Wu Tongtian to contribute his remaining strength in the final battle.

"Die!"

At the rear gate of Wu Family Castle, Liew Bao roared and charged forward, weaponless, only donning a pair of Obsidian Gold Gauntlets on his hands.

His body flew over one house after another, causing them to collapse thunderously beneath his steps. Radiance sparkled between his hands, shooting towards Ding Fan like lightning, driven by rage over Ding Fan crippling Liew Bin, leaving him a ruin, fueling Liew Bao’s wrath to the pinnacle.

Liew Bao was incredibly fast. Ding Fan had just severed Liew Bin’s legs and hadn’t even had the chance to grab him before Liew Bao was already before Ding Fan.

At this moment, Liew Bao attacked Ding Fan with punches glowing brilliantly, his movement technique so peculiar it resembled a hungry leopard pouncing, attacking with his whole body, seemingly concentrating all his strength in his legs.

Indeed, Liew Bao’s skills were all in his fists; his Leopard Fist was renowned in the Tong City area. Hearing the sharp sound of the wind whipped by his punch, Ding Fan knew it wasn’t easy to withstand. A slight mistake might result in him being crushed to death by Liew Bao’s fist.

Moreover, the gauntlets were surely Divine Weapons, likely high-level ones, with spikes at both ends that could take a life if they struck a vital spot.

Liew Bao’s attack speed was surprisingly swift. Ding Fan had no time to flee. At this point, he could only brace himself, grip the axe handle tightly, and swing his Giant Axe ferociously at the incoming fists.

Clang! Clang!

Clear, crisp sounds rang out as Ding Fan’s body was driven back continuously, retreating several meters before he could stabilize himself.

Liew Bao’s body touched the ground, then utilized the force to soar again, relentlessly attacking Ding Fan like lightning, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

"How is this possible?"

Ding Fan believed his strength surpassed Liew Bao’s, yet the attack speed was too quick, forcing him into constant retreat. Amazingly, Liew Bao attacked with such speed as if it were effortless.

Ding Fan had received the legacy of Sirius. Regardless of other things, his sheer power must have reached a hundred thousand pounds. Despite Liew Bao utilizing the power of Divine Weapons, it shouldn’t have rendered him as defenseless as it did.

"Divine Skill!"

Ding Fan suddenly realized that Liew Bao must have practiced a Divine Skill boosting his strength, or perhaps his gauntlets neutralized the immense force of his Giant Axe.

"Huff~"

Liew Bao’s gauntlets magnified before Ding Fan, who dared not ponder further. In battles of this level, a single misstep could lead to an inescapable end.

Ding Fan exerted all his strength, repeatedly swinging the Giant Axe, striking Liew Bao back time and again, while his own body kept retreating.

"Go!"

Liew Bao shouted, as one fist shone fiercely against the Giant Axe. Ding Fan felt a horrifying power crash into him, sending him flying into a building, smashing a large hole in the wall.

"Poof!"

Sweetness welled in Ding Fan’s throat as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He flipped up, hearing Liew Bao attacking the building from outside, leaving no time to check his injuries as he dashed through the rear wall, bursting outside.

"Boom!"

Just as Ding Fan rushed out of the building, it collapsed under Liew Bao’s immense force. Had Ding Fan not acted swiftly, he would have been buried beneath the rubble, with Liew Bao outside, intent on entombing him alive.

"Whoosh!"

Liew Bao saw Ding Fan, rocketing towards him like a meteor. Ding Fan bitterly thought to himself, if this passive fighting continued, he’d be dragged to death by Liew Bao. His hands were trembling, and if Liew Bao kept this up, he would eventually kill Ding Fan without much effort.

"Need a plan!"

At this life-or-death juncture, Ding Fan’s mind raced, he was never one to easily give up. Even faced with desperation, he refused to abandon hope.

Given the current situation, escaping was impossible with no opportunity. The only choice seemed to be to fight to the death.

Right now, the only thing he could remember was that the Sirius in his arms had not yet made a move. But given Liew Bao’s reactions, if the Sirius showed up, wouldn’t it be kicked to death by Liew Bao in an instant!

Oh right, he still had his flying sword. Although using the flying sword would waste his true qi, it was better than having nothing. The problem was that Liew Bao kept entangling him, giving him no time to wield the flying sword.

Clang clang clang clang

Liew Bao’s attacks were becoming harsher, wave after merciless wave, like the relentless sea waves, as if he wouldn’t stop until he smashed Ding Fan to death.

"Boom!"

Once again, Ding Fan was sent flying. This time, he flew out a full dozen meters, crashing into a large tree as thick as a person’s waist, breaking the sturdy tree trunk upon impact.

"Pah..."

Ding Fan spat out the blood in his mouth, not bothering to wipe it off his lips. His eyes were full of confusion, his mind entirely occupied by Liew Bao’s cascading punches, as overwhelming as the surging waves.

"Like tides, like waves, unceasingly!"

Something clicked in Ding Fan’s heart. In this moment, he seemed to realize something. There was a Thunderwolf Fist Technique in the Sirius heritage, which he had never figured out how to use until now. He understood that the key to this divine skill was the release of true qi, which should not be used all at once but released layer by layer to achieve the desired effect.

Now, he understood that there was no need for the true qi to rush into his arms all at once; it could surge into his arms like waves, one after another.

"Zoom!"

Again came the sound of the air being broken, and although Ding Fan’s hands were still trembling and his face was still bloodied, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

"Sirius, you go hide first!"

As Ding Fan’s voice fell, a barely visible black shadow surged out from his embrace, hiding beneath a collapsed wall.

"Come on!"

Ding Fan jumped up, his legs stabilizing into a horse stance, and he swung his giant axe heavily at Liew Bao’s incoming fists. Just as it collided with the obsidian gold gauntlets, his arm suddenly expanded a size, and he continued to strike four succession times, the giant axe delivering a total of four consecutive chops in an instant.

"Boom"

This time, it wasn’t Ding Fan who was sent flying. Instead, Liew Bao’s body was slammed away, collapsing to the ground. Although Ding Fan could only chop four times, each chop was stronger than the last, with the final chop being more than five times stronger than the first. How could Liew Bao withstand such force?

"Again!"

Ding Fan exerted his legs, catapulting himself forward, swinging the giant axe down toward Liew Bao, who had just gotten to his feet.

Dazed by Ding Fan’s earlier Fourth Level waves, Liew Bao knew things were bad. Rolling his body to the side, he barely managed to dodge the axe chop.

"Sirius!"

Ding Fan called softly, as the giant axe slashed down toward Liew Bao who was continuously rolling on the ground, unable to fight back.

"Zoom...!"

Taking advantage of Liew Bao’s distraction, Sirius dashed forward, leaping onto Liew Bao’s back and biting down fiercely on his neck.

"Ah..."

With all of Liew Bao’s attention on Ding Fan’s hands, he hadn’t noticed the surging approach of Sirius from behind. By the time he reacted, Sirius had already torn a piece of flesh from his neck.

In rage, Liew Bao swung a hand to beat down on Sirius perched on his neck, forgetting he was wearing the obsidian gold gauntlets. Sirius twisted its body, slipping away from Liew Bao’s neck, resulting in Liew Bao striking his own neck with his palm!

"Ah!"

With a miserable scream, taking advantage of this moment, Ding Fan chopped downward with his axe. Liew Bao instinctively reached out to block, but there was no stopping Ding Fan’s giant axe, splitting Liew Bao in half, killing him instantly.

"Whew~"

Seeing Liew Bao finally dead, Ding Fan sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. If he hadn’t realized the way to use the "Fourth Level Wave" inner strength at the critical moment, Ding Fan could have been the one dead.

"Ah!"

From the chariot in the sky came a cry of astonishment. Zhao Xiner’s eyes flashed with a strange light. From her distance, she hadn’t seen Sirius, so she was a bit confused by the situation.

Earlier, Ding Fan had been relentlessly pursued by Liew Bao, several times almost dying at Liew Bao’s hands, yet in the blink of an eye, it was Liew Bao who was dead!

She had been convinced in her heart that Ding Fan was no match for Liew Bao, yet in the end, Liew Bao was killed by Ding Fan, which greatly surprised her. She couldn’t help but look at the armored man next to her, asking, "Uncle, did you see how he won?"

"What, I wasn’t paying attention. I wasn’t even looking that way. That kid’s something else, actually killing a master holding a divine weapon!"

He spoke the truth, as aside from Zhao Xiner, everyone’s focus was on the direction of the Great Elder’s battle, which was indeed a lot more intense. The strong were fighting over there, who would be paying attention to a battle involving a mere youth.

At that moment, a new opportunity arose in the Great Elder’s side of the battle. A shadow flashed past like lightning, swiftly reaching the battlefield, a voice roaring:

"Liew Hong, have you lived long enough? Such audacity!"
