Chapter 395 - 395 One-Punch Illusion Realm! Killing and Harvesting!
395 One-Punch Illusion Realm! Killing and Harvesting!
The eyes of the great-grandfather from the Fang family suddenly lit up with ecstatic delight. He darted toward the bronze chest in the distance. Unexpectedly, a giant tree sprouted beneath his feet, lifting him into the air.
“Could it be… Have I unknowingly deciphered the ancient scripture’s secret?” He gazed in disbelief at the enormous tree growing underneath him. With a slight flicker of thought, grass began to sprout in the sky.
“Haha! I did it! I’ve finally done it!” Riding on a bridge formed by giant wooden branches, he reached the bronze chest. With eager excitement, he unlatched the chest.
Squeak~
A sound, old and filled with decay, echoed as the chest opened. The old man’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. But then…
Boom!
An unexpected fist launched from the chest, blasting half of his head instantly.
His world crumbled. A bright white light mirrored his devastation. He could still discern his old partner’s yelling, “What are you waiting for? Fight back!” But the voice seemed distant and muffled.
“What…what just happened…” The draining life force and the loss of blood left him disoriented.
“Each flower, each grass, each tree, each punch builds the illusion realm.” Qin Huai, with a detached look, watched the old man collapsing to the ground. “You’ve been fooled.”
Fang Huo gazed in disbelief at Qin Huai, who appeared out of nowhere. He was puzzled. Why did his great-grandfather freeze in place after trading a punch with Qin Huai? He allowed Qin Huai to land another punch, reducing his head to a pulp.
“What happened…” Fang Huo murmured to himself.
The elder with the spear was also puzzled. Could it be that the old man’s time was up? It seemed the only plausible explanation for the abrupt halt of the elder from the Fang family.
“Remember, you owe me your life.” Qin Huai patted Fang Huo’s shoulder before darting toward the spear-holding old man.
Whoosh!
Qin Huai appeared in front of the elder in a split second. The sudden proximity caused the elder’s hair to stand on end. He swung his spear like a whip at Qin Huai.
But Qin Huai didn’t flinch. He flexed his muscular biceps, taking the blow head-on.
Bang!
A portion of Qin Huai’s strong flesh burst open. Nevertheless, his face remained unfazed. Seizing the spear, he took a large stride, pressing his entire body forward, closing the distance even further.
Their eyes locked. Qin Huai’s expression was as grim as the Grim Reaper. “Got you.” He released the illusion realm fist. His blood seemed to drain in an instant, his face turning pallid.
A punch, full of force, connected with the old man’s body.
Bang!
The spear-wielding old man’s eyes clouded over, and he froze in place. Qin Huai’s fist, now flashing with white light, executed the forbidden technique, poison dragon shock, slamming directly into his mouth.
Boom!
Just like that, Qin Huai had taken down the two kings, who had ruled the bronze realm for a century, with just four punches.
Whoosh!
Qin Huai stumbled, the world before him splitting into three. He quickly grabbed a nearby tree as his body and vision swayed.
The illusion realm fist could send a skilled opponent into the illusion realm he created with one punch, paralyzing them. However, it used up a lot of energy. Qin Huai’s blood, qi, and energy were depleted after just two punches. He sat on the ground, panting, his eyes still somewhat white.
“Brother Zhou, are you okay?” An anxious Fang Huo ran to Qin Huai’s side to help him up.
“I’m fine,” responded Qin Huai, perking up at the scent of blood. “I’ll treat you first.” He began to search through his beast skin attire.
“You know medicine?” Fang Huo was relieved to hear Qin Huai speaking.
“I’m skilled in poison techniques, so treating a minor injury like this shouldn’t be a problem,” Qin Huai assured him.
Minor injury? Fang Huo glanced down at his empty chest. It was a serious injury!
“I… Ah!” Before Fang Huo could protest, Qin Huai had already applied a handful of poisonous powder to his wound. He grimaced in pain, his tough face turning pale.
“Your internal organs are damaged, so it might affect your cultivation in the visceral prefecture realm. Furthermore, your vitality will decline. In the future, you’ll need to find a legendary ten-thousand-year-old medicine to restore your lost flesh and blood,” Qin Huai muttered as he continued applying the medicine.
“Is your poison really a cure? It’s burning,” Fang Huo joked to distract himself.
“If you’re skilled enough with poison, you can kill and save lives,” Qin Huai replied confidently. “This particular poison will coagulate your wounds. I also have a few medicines that can boost your qi and blood to save your life.”
Qin Huai applied the medicine faster and faster. He had used up most of his precious medicines, which could easily poison a bone pattern realm expert to death. He had never expected to use his poison to save someone’s life.
He finished treating Fang Huo in a hurry, then sat cross-legged. “Stand guard!” he instructed Fang Huo, then activated the blood heart technique.
After some time, his pale face regained some color, but his vision was still blurry. Thankfully, Fang Huo’s wound was large enough for him to apply the treatment, or else he might not have survived.
He looked into the distance where experience orbs littered the ground. He wished they were as plentiful as they appeared. Then, a thought crossed Qin Huai’s mind.
