Bang!
Just as everyone was hopeful, they saw the muscular man slam into the wooden man’s embrace.
However, the wooden man’s figure did not change in the slightest.
On the contrary, the muscular man felt as if he had crashed into a giant rock, his arms felt as if they were shattered, experiencing intense pain.
What’s going on?
The muscular man felt extreme terror in his heart.
He had just launched the first move of the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer, yet he couldn’t even shake the opponent’s figure.
In a daze, the muscular man almost believed he was facing not a person, but a heavy tank.
And just as he was stunned, the wooden man seemed to finally react.
He lifted his arms slowly, encircled the muscular man, and squeezed gently.
To outsiders, this move seemed like an adult hugging a child.
The movement was slow, the force gentle, as if afraid to hurt the child.
But a cracking sound was heard.
The muscular man’s arms instantly twisted, and he let out a piercing scream, sending chills down the spines of those who heard it. Then, the wooden man lightly pushed him, causing him to fly backward heavily, crashing into the lake’s surface.
The muscular man sank to the bottom of the lake.
Everyone watched this scene, not knowing how much pain the muscular man endured.
They thought the muscular man’s arms were merely injured, but did not understand that the true injury didn’t come from the wooden man’s hug, but from the final push.
That push not only destroyed the muscular man’s breastbone and ribs but directly crushed his heart under immense force.
Even an Immortal couldn’t save the muscular man now.
What kind of monster is this?
Liu Nuyan and others gasped in shock, their faces full of astonishment.
The muscular man was no ordinary person.
He was a martial arts lunatic, a fanatic who would endure any means to train his body.
This person was Zhou Shihuai.
He saw the elixir in Lin Beichen’s hand at the Starry Sky Association.
If Lin Beichen had collaborated with the Zhao Family, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, or other organizations to become their guest minister, Zhou Shihuai wouldn’t have dared to harbor any ill intentions.
But Lin Beichen did not do so; instead, he rejected these invitations.
Who dares to refuse things favored by the great families?
In Zhou Shihuai’s eyes, Lin Beichen was doomed to perish tonight.
Given this, Zhou Shihuai naturally tried to join in, aiming to gain more benefits.
He too came from a distinguished family, lacking nothing in terms of wealth, but Lin Beichen’s items were treasures that money couldn’t buy.
So he had to fight for them!
The elixir could enable him to break through his physical limits and become an extraordinary martial artist!
He was able to achieve numerous world honors, partly due to his father endlessly spending money to sponsor competitions and smoothing relationships for him, but also due to his own strength, capable of reaching the finals.
Yet now, such a formidable man was killed.
"No, the situation is too difficult, we must reconsider."
A killer said fearfully.
Liu Nuyan heard this, just about to rebuke, when suddenly he felt the gust of wind.
He glanced sideways, his heart spasming a few times, and his blood seemingly froze.
The wooden man was charging at him.
Liu Nuyan didn’t utter a word, escaping swiftly.
His movements were agile, and having consumed Lin Beichen’s elixir, his speed had surpassed normal humans.
Facing death, Liu Nuyan burst out non-human potential.
He saw the wooden man land instantly, causing a large pit on the ground.
The wooden man stood amidst the pit, staring coldly at the crowd.
In the night, people couldn’t see the wooden man’s expression, but his gaze was chilling.
The wooden man actually had no emotions; from start to finish, he was expressionless, numb.
Is this still a human?
How could a person possess such world-destroying power?
Liu Nuyan shivered all over.
"Don’t panic, exhaust his strength, he’s alone..."
Liu Nuyan said hastily.
His voice had barely fallen when a scream rang out.
Liu Nuyan could evade the wooden man’s impact because he got Lin Beichen’s elixir by coincidence, but others didn’t have such luck.
Their original strength matched Liu Nuyan, but Liu Nuyan had broken through his peak with the elixir, while they remained ordinary.
A series of heartrending screams echoed, turning the lakeside date spot into scenes as cruel as a meat grinder.
Blood splattered, limbs severed.
Zhao Weinan and Zhao Baiying shivered all over, almost puking and fainting.
The night reduced the brutal scene by at least ninety percent; they could only smell the thick scent of blood in the air.
Even this smell naturally evoked a sense of death from the depths of their genes.
Every hair on their bodies warned them of the ongoing slaughter in the night.
"Lin Beichen, are they all dead?"
Zhao Baiying asked excitedly.
Hearing this, Zhao Weinan was slightly stunned, looking at Zhao Baiying with some surprise.
For some reason, she sensed a hint of excitement from her sister.
Lin Beichen didn’t speak.
He was still immersed in the vast world, feeling the intriguing sensation in the air.
Ever since he returned from Japan, he always had a premonition.
Beyond the Power of the Five Elements, there is another force.
In the vast universe, humans are merely transient.
Standing in the sky, controlling the Volcanic Power, he felt one with the lava.
In the vast world, humans are but ants.
The Five Elements summarize the world’s rules, but who defines these rules?
There ought to be a force above the Five Elements.
On the lakeside during the slaughter, Lin Beichen suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.
He no longer needed to ponder the exact name of this force, nor needed to care whether this force could be scientifically explained.
It is a force that emerged simultaneously with the planet’s birth.
Or rather, it is the planet’s own force.
The Power of the Heavenly Dao? The planet’s power?
The night sky gleamed with countless stars.
A ray of moonlight shone on Lin Beichen’s face, he smiled.
So let’s call it the planet’s power.
After all, there are not just one planet in the universe...
Perhaps, someday, he could truly traverse the universe, seeking life in other star systems.
Lin Beichen remained in the vast universe, while the lakeside battle reached its climax.
The wooden man only acted when necessary, and each strike claimed a life.
The elite Zhao Family assassins, though not top-tier externally, were considered elite.
However, after a series of chaotic crashes, only a few mutilated bodies were left by the lakeside.
Though the wooden man was stained with blood, those still alive knew that the blood wasn’t his.
"A monster, this guy is simply a monster! He doesn’t know any Martial Arts at all, he’s just relying on brute force, we are fighting an idiot."
Zhao Yizhen emerged from the dense forest, with madness in his eyes.
Earlier, he thought the wooden man was a martial arts grandmaster, constantly speculating on the opponent’s martial arts techniques.
After watching for a moment, he finally realized the wooden man was just a fool not knowing any martial skills.
His immense strength was purely due to his extraordinarily strong physical abilities.
His relatively slower speed was only concerning his destructive power.
Even the world’s fastest sprinter would struggle before the wooden man.
This person was truly an unsolvable existence.
"Everyone, step back, let me try."
In the rainforest again, a sound echoed.
Upon hearing this, Liu Nuyan’s eyes flashed with excitement.
The person he was waiting for had finally arrived.
Then from the dense forest behind him, footsteps echoed, and a man clad in an Arhat robe emerged.
The Buddhist Sect has Angry-eyed Vajra and Golden Body Arhat.
This man was one of the Arhat.
His body, exuding a bronze hue, appeared as if cast from refined iron, head-to-toe.
His eyes burned with intense killing intent!
