However, the dark-red power armor on Shi Dang’s body erupted with an ominous Spiritual Shield, managing to block Qin Feng’s fatal attack!
"This is..."
For the first time, Qin Feng’s brow furrowed.
He realized.
What Shi Dang was wearing wasn’t the Empire’s Standard Power Armor at all!
It was a true Level 9 Chaos Power Armor, a fusion of Chaos Spiritual Technology and Demon Flesh!
Meanwhile, his own [Destroyer I] was merely Sixth-Level Standard Equipment!
This massive gap in equipment allowed Shi Dang to narrowly escape his kill-shots time and time again!
"Hahaha! Qin Feng! You can’t kill me!"
Shi Dang roared like a madman, "My Blood God Armor was a gift from the great Blood God! How can that hunk of scrap you’re wearing possibly compare to a divine creation?!"
"Is that so?"
Qin Feng’s gaze grew even colder.
He stopped holding back. The Top-grade Primordial Acupoints in his body began to spin furiously!
The battle between them grew even more ferocious.
This Chaos Battleship, already on the verge of disintegrating, became the most fragile of arenas beneath their feet.
With every collision, tens of thousands of tons of the metal structure were torn asunder and melted.
With every exchange, kilometers-long sections of the hull were blasted into cosmic dust by the terrifying Energy Aftermath.
「Half an hour later.」
When Qin Feng once again blasted Shi Dang away with a vicious [Qian Yuan], the [Raging Tide] Long Spear in his hand finally gave out. Unable to withstand the endless, terrifying impacts, it let out a mournful cry and shattered inch by inch.
Qin Feng casually tossed aside the broken shaft and retrieved the sixth-level alloy staff, [Demon Subduer], from his Subspace Storage Unit.
However, after just a few more clashes, this equally sturdy staff met the same fate as the [Raging Tide], cleaved in two by Shi Dang’s Chaos War Axe.
His weapons were gone.
"You’re out of weapons! Let’s see you fight me now!"
Seeing this, Shi Dang burst into crazed laughter.
However, his laughter died in his throat.
Because the now bare-fisted Qin Feng didn’t retreat. Instead, he charged forward again with even greater, relentless momentum!
He clenched his fists, the muscles on his arms swelling like coiled dragons.
He was actually using his fists to execute spear techniques!
A straight punch carried the mountain-shattering force of a [Heavy Spear]!
A sweeping hook unleashed the relentless power of [Stacking Waves]!
A storm of fist-shadows completely enveloped Shi Dang!
Freed from the constraints of a weapon, his attacks became even more fluid, even more lethal!
Shi Dang was completely stunned!
All he could do was watch as those mountain-heavy fists broke through his defenses time and time again, smashing viciously against his Blood God Armor!
Although the power armor was still keeping him alive, the terrifying shockwaves that penetrated it made his internal organs feel as if they were being pulverized. The pain was excruciating.
Despite the massive disparity in their equipment, Qin Feng was relentlessly overwhelming Shi Dang with absolute, brute force!
-----------------
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Amid the wreckage of the Chaos Battleship—now nothing more than a heap of burning scrap—the clash between the two figures reached a fever pitch.
Every one of Qin Feng’s punches was a display of the most primal, violent aesthetic.
With a life force index of 108,000 as his foundation, his Top-grade Primordial Acupoints as his power source, and a physique comparable to a Starry Sky Giant Beast as his vessel, he had transformed his body into the most terrifying weapon of war in the cosmos.
He pushed the Fist Intent of his *Hundred Barges, Struggle Stream* to its absolute limit!
With one punch, a thousand techniques followed.
The Blood God Armor on Shi Dang was facing the most severe test since its creation.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
A dense, terrifying cacophony of muffled impacts rang out ceaselessly, like thousands of Divine Mountains colliding at once.
The dark-red Spiritual Shield covering the surface of the Ninth-Level Divine Weapon—forged from Chaos Spiritual Technology and Demon Flesh—rippled violently under Qin Feng’s brutally overwhelming fists, looking as if it would shatter at any moment.
’Impossible... This is impossible!’
Shi Dang’s Will roared frantically from within the power armor.
He couldn’t understand, nor could he accept, the absurd scene playing out before him.
’We have the same life force index, and I have the overwhelming advantage of my Level 9 Blood God Armor.’
’So why... Why am I being beaten like a stray dog by some bare-fisted brawler?!’
’Why!’
’I threw my lot in with the Blood God! My power grew by leaps and bounds! In less than a century, I was on the verge of ascending to the Planetary-grade, and I still can’t beat Qin Feng?!’
CRACK—
In the instant that Shi Dang’s concentration wavered, a crisp sound, like shattering glass, echoed clearly in his ears.
He looked down in horror.
There, on the heart-guard at the very center of his chest plate—the one engraved with a seal of slaughter—a fine crack had appeared.
Then, like a lit fuse, the crack spread with visible speed, branching out in all directions across the entire suit of power armor!
"No—!"
Shi Dang let out a desperate roar.
But Qin Feng’s gaze only grew colder.
He seized this golden opportunity, pouring all of his strength, all of his Will, and all of his killing intent into his right fist.
[Qian Yuan]!
This was his ultimate killing blow, delivered with his fist.
"Now... SHATTER!"
He threw the punch.
BOOM—!!!!!
It was as if time itself stood still.
