Strongest War Emperor

"I’ll kill you!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the Spirit Martial Realm Martial Artist to Shen Lang’s right roared. His fist, encased in a thick layer of rock, carried a sharp, Powerful Qi as it smashed toward Shen Lang’s chest!

The fierce wind was like a knife against his face, sending Shen Lang’s long hair flying.

As this man threw his punch, the other Spirit Martial Realm Martial Artist beside him also reacted, immediately launching a fierce attack of his own!

"SCREECH!"

A sharp cry like an eagle’s suddenly echoed across the area. The second man’s hand formed a claw like an eagle’s talon and lunged for Shen Lang’s throat, its Powerful Qi just as ferocious as the first man’s.

Shen Lang’s right hand shot out, instantly grabbing hold of the fist that had all but turned to solid rock.

Everyone was shocked. A punch of such unparalleled ferocity would normally be dodged even by a Martial Artist of equal strength, not blocked.

Yet Shen Lang had actually caught the fist directly?

’Isn’t he afraid his hand will be instantly destroyed by the blow?’

The next moment, Shen Lang’s gaze turned cold. Power erupted from his hand as he squeezed forcefully!

A crisp CRACK echoed as rock fragments flew everywhere. The stone shell covering the man’s fist and forearm instantly shattered into countless pieces, and his large fist was crushed and twisted out of shape by Shen Lang’s grip!

"AHHH!" A bloodcurdling scream escaped the man’s lips.

But even this terrifying sound didn’t last long.

After instantly crushing the man’s fist, Shen Lang released his right hand, shifted his body slightly to the side, and delivered a side kick with his left foot into the man’s abdomen!

The Martial Artist shot backward, his feet carving long, deep grooves into the ground before he finally slammed into a large tree...

With a muffled grunt, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Then, his massive body crashed to the ground, silent.

Shen Lang retracted his left foot like lightning, twisted his waist, turned, and whipped his right leg out high like a whip!

In a flash, Shen Lang dodged the eagle-like claw of the man on his left, and his whip-like right leg instantly lashed out, striking the man’s chest!

With a loud BANG, the man coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying through the air.

It all happened in the blink of an eye. Three Spirit Martial Realm First Heaven Martial Artists, just like that, were severely injured and knocked unconscious by Shen Lang, each with a single move...

Defeating one could be called a coincidence, a stroke of luck.

But defeating two, then three... that was no joke.

The remaining five men watched this, their hearts filled with terror. With a collective shout, they scattered, scrambling and crawling to get away!

"Hmph!"

Shen Lang snorted coldly. He opened his right palm, and the water vapor in the air immediately gathered toward it. A terrifyingly cold aura emanated from his palm, instantly forming five foot-long Ice Cones above it!

"SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING!"

The piercing sound of Breaking the Sky made the hearts of the distant, secret observers leap into their throats. The next second, five bloodcurdling screams rang out almost simultaneously.

Five Ice Cones passed through the men’s Protective Shields with perfect accuracy and then pierced through their bodies!

Each Ice Cone entered through the right shoulder. Although the attack avoided their vitals, it completely incapacitated them!

The chilling intent Shen Lang had recently absorbed from the Ice Soul Water Jade instantly paralyzed the five men’s bodies, leaving them trembling on the ground, their teeth chattering.

"Stay here quietly and don’t move. If I come back and find that someone has run off, rest assured, I’ll make them regret ever being born." Shen Lang said faintly. "When facing my enemies, I am never a merciful person."

The men on the ground shivered instinctively at his words. They all bowed their heads, not daring to look up and meet Shen Lang’s gaze.

Shen Lang looked up, his gaze locking onto Sun Hongwen on the high cliff. "Now, it’s your turn."

The previously smug Sun Hongwen was still in a daze. When he saw Shen Lang look over, he reacted as if he’d seen a ghost, letting out a loud cry before turning to flee!

"You think you can get away?"

Shen Lang shouted coldly. His body trembled, and eighteen golden needles shot out from within him, embedding themselves in the stone cliff face with a series of sharp THWIPS!

Once the Seal of the "Golden Needle Acupoint Forging Body Technique" was released, the aura around Shen Lang surged, his ferocious Momentum rocketing toward the heavens!

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground. Amidst a deafening boom—like a war drum on a battlefield, a thunderclap from a clear sky, a sudden crack of lightning—Shen Lang shot forward like a cannonball, kicking up a gale as he charged straight for the cliff face!

"THUD THUD THUD!"

With his arms outstretched for balance, Shen Lang ran straight up the sloping cliff face as if it were flat ground!

He wasn’t climbing; he was sprinting as if on a flat plain. In just a few short seconds, he had almost reached the top of the cliff!

The distant onlookers were all dumbfounded.

The five men still groaning on the ground momentarily forgot their pain, watching the scene in disbelief.

’Even a Martial Artist at the First or Second Heaven of the Spirit Martial Realm would find it impossible to run up a steep cliff like that, right?’

’It’s over, it’s over! When he revealed his aura just now, I felt it was even more terrifying than our Xuanwu Realm senior uncle’s! We’ve poked a hornet’s nest!’ 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The five men on the ground were pale with terror. Not a single one of them dared to try and escape while Shen Lang was gone; they just lay there, whimpering obediently.

Meanwhile, atop the cliff, Sun Hongwen had witnessed Shen Lang’s thunderous methods. He had not only defeated three Spirit Martial Realm Martial Artists in a few moves but had also instantly used an Ice Technique to severely injure five Qi Martial Realm Martial Artists whose Cultivation was even higher than his own. The shock nearly scared him out of his wits.

His earlier arrogance and smugness had vanished. Sun Hongwen used every ounce of his strength to scramble away, crawling and stumbling as he fled.

Although he hadn’t seen Shen Lang run straight up the cliff, in his mind, a guy who could defeat Spirit Martial Realm experts in a few moves seemed capable of anything. A mere cliff was unlikely to stop him...

Sun Hongwen’s previous injuries hadn’t yet healed. As he ran for his life, his recently set ribs began to ache with a piercing pain, causing him to clench his jaw as cold sweat streamed down his face.

’No, I have to get away faster! If he catches me this time, with new injuries on top of old ones, I’ll probably lose my life!’

Forcing himself to endure the intense pain in his chest, Sun Hongwen sprinted desperately along the mountain path.

"WHOOSH!"

A sharp sound of Breaking the Sky came from behind, and Sun Hongwen nearly started crying. "How can he be so fast..."

He spun around abruptly and, in a moment of crisis, pulled out a small black shield he had prepared, holding it in front of him.

"BAM!"

A fist-sized green stone, accompanied by a sonic boom, flew over and slammed viciously into the black Small Shield.

A ripple of Powerful Qi spread out. Sun Hongwen stumbled back five meters and fell flat on his butt!

’So much power from a tiny stone... this guy’s a monster! Running away was definitely the right choice... my only mistake was being too slow!’ Sun Hongwen stood frozen on the spot, his face ashen, not daring to move another inch.

"No matter how fast you run, I can still twist your head off. If you don’t believe me, you can try." Shen Lang’s figure slowly emerged from the darkness, his voice incomparably cold.

Sun Hongwen almost burst into tears. He was a cultivator at the Qi Martial Realm Seventh Heaven, for crying out loud! But in front of this Little Evil Star, he was like a three-year-old child, not only unable to resist but now not even daring to think of resisting!

’If I had known this Evil Star was so powerful, why did I have to volunteer to bring people here to do this?’

’I’d already been beaten by him once. I thought the bastard was only good at close combat, but I never imagined he was this powerful!’

’Great. Now I’m the only one left!’

"What do you want? I-I’m not afraid of you! You can’t touch me, or Tian Hao and the others won’t let you off!" Sun Hongwen blustered, his bravado failing as he spoke words even he didn’t believe.

Shen Lang was clearly just a teenager of sixteen or seventeen, but in Sun Hongwen’s eyes, he was like a monster from Primordial Chaos, terrifying him so much that even his voice trembled.

Shen Lang slowly approached and said faintly, "I said something before: ’Provoke me this time, and I’ll just break a few of your ribs. Provoke me again, and I’ll break your legs.’ For some reason, people never take my words seriously, and they forget easily. It really pisses me off."

"No, no, no... I forgot... No, I didn’t forget! It was Tian Hao and the others who forced me to come! It has nothing to do with me! You can’t do this to me!" Sun Hongwen’s plaintive voice echoed through the forest, startling a flock of roosting birds.

Shen Lang waved his hand and smiled. "Don’t worry. Why would I do something as bloody as breaking your legs? I’m not that cruel."

"..." Sun Hongwen’s expression was one of someone who wanted to cry but had no tears left.

’As if you haven’t done enough bloody things already?’

’You just crushed Liu Da’s fist in an instant and broke several of his ribs. Isn’t that bloody enough? Isn’t that cruel enough?’

The moment Sun Hongwen had this thought, he immediately realized he was wrong.

Breaking legs, it turned out, wasn’t cruel at all.

Compared to what came next, breaking his legs would have been an act of mercy...

Because after Shen Lang finished speaking with a smile, he struck!

He slapped a palm on Sun Hongwen’s shoulder, and an incomparably ferocious Thunder Power instantly blasted into him, leaving Sun Hongwen’s body completely numb and unable to move.

Then, Shen Lang’s hands moved together, working on Sun Hongwen’s body with incredible speed!

Sun Hongwen couldn’t see his movements clearly at all. He had just a moment of bewilderment before he began to squeal like a pig being slaughtered!

In just two or three seconds, every joint in Sun Hongwen’s body—from the smallest knuckles on his ten fingers to the larger joints of his shoulders, elbows, wrists, forearms, knees, and ankles—was dislocated!

The inhuman scream had just begun when it vanished, because with a soft CRACK, Shen Lang dislocated his jaw as well!

While Sun Hongwen could only make muffled whimpering sounds, Shen Lang gripped his cervical spine, then his lumbar spine. With a few forceful twists of his hands, he instantly misaligned most of Sun Hongwen’s entire spinal column!

Finally, Shen Lang lightly patted the top of Sun Hongwen’s head, sending a faint stream of Thunder Power into him...
