Chapter 454 - 419: The Base Person Engulfed in Flames, No Mercy for the Fallen!
In the fleeting moment between countless collisions, he drew his fists to his waist.The surface of [Bridge of Helplessness Moon] emerged, manifesting as a black whirlwind-like tangible scene.
This was the manifestation of Meng Chuan condensing his will to kill.
The surging Qi Blood formed rivers under his skin, merging with the momentum of the Eight Extremes to become a spiral-shaped column of energy shooting skyward!
All of this came naturally, and it wasn’t difficult for Meng Chuan.
The will to kill fueled stronger willpower, Meng Chuan punched out, and the embryonic form of the scene appeared!
"Chen Xuan"’s gilded pupils shrank sharply, gathering his eight arms at his chest attempting to intercept.
But the stance of Meng Chuan’s punch had already undergone a qualitative change!
The crescent moon like a hook, shaking the Eight Extremes of the river—Raging Waves Hammer!
The sound of crashing waves roared, the air rolling with roaring waves.
As if the ocean had descended into reality at this moment, creating towering waves!
The spirit of the Liu family’s ancestor striking waves at the shore was fully demonstrated at this time.
Meng Chuan fully comprehended its true meaning, combining will, Qi Blood, and Spiritual Power to the limit, and punched out!
At this moment, Meng Chuan’s ten-meter-tall figure continued to rise in momentum, becoming incomparably majestic.
In the eyes of others, he was akin to the legendary [Sea King], needing only a trident and a crown.
"Chen Xuan" noticed this scene, frantically mobilizing eight arms and the Four-Grade True Martial, along with the surrounding Celestial Demon Position, forming countless layers of protection to block the chest.
Boom!!!
The eight arms shattered inch by inch at the moment they collided with the Bridge of Helplessness Moon!
"Chen Xuan" steeled his heart and burned all the incense power.
The eight arms instantly transformed into red molten streams, all injected into the [Inverted] sword.
In an instant, the Four-Grade True Martial seemingly came alive, transforming into a fire dragon, its claws and scales glittering brightly.
The sword handle transformed into the dragon’s tail, sweeping through flames to become a river, with the sword body as dragon claws, spraying golden flame from gaps, and the sword’s edge roaring with a massive mouth, with an overwhelming might!
[Transmute magnetic fields with heart’s intent, alter reality with intentional scenery.]
At this moment, Meng Chuan gained a deeper understanding of this phrase.
The essence of Martial Arts Intent is the interference of spirit with reality, when will, Qi Blood, and spirit fuse as one, material limits can be temporarily broken.
Lacking the power of two limits, make the will to kill as sharp as a blade to cut through this shackle...
At this moment, with a punch he blasted out, his Heart Spirit was determined to create monstrous waves from thin air!
Meanwhile, the Water Attribute stance and the Eight Extremes stance perfectly combined, jointly pushing the power of this punch to climb higher.
Where the punch reached, the illusion of the raging waves condensed into substance, forcibly pressing back the fire dragon’s golden flames into the sword!
Meng Chuan’s eyes were cold, the Heart Fire’s energy instantly mobilized, and the next punch followed closely!
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, the flame surged from his chest like a volcano erupting and flowed through his meridians. The joined ten fingers burst with molten, flowing brilliance.
In the next instant, his figure soared into the air.
Along with the outstretched release of his two arms, the incandescent light clung to his arms like eternally burning wings!
The tyrannical pressure again gathered with the Fire Attribute stance, the Martial Arts Momentum suddenly flaring like a raging blaze, the red halo exploded outwards from Meng Chuan as the center, spreading in all directions.
He lifted his right fist swiftly!
Molten Core Flame Burst Fist—Setting Sun Strike!
"Die!"
A booming voice came from the sky!
With the dragon’s protection lost, the fire wrapped around "Chen Xuan", and the flames poured into the gilded pupils like a waterfall.
"Chen Xuan" resisted desperately, but the seductive demonic sound from its mouth was crushed into sparking embers!
The depraved encircled in flames, the fallen are unforgivable!
The Celestial Demon possessing Chen Xuan emitted a high-pitched shriek, but it was strangled under the dual slaughter of the embryonic Intent and the will to kill.
Like a thin mist under a blazing sun, it eventually vaporized and dispersed!
The flames, like a torrent, continued to scour, the Celestial Demon’s shriek was abruptly cut off!
Chen Xuan’s body fell heavily to the ground, his eyes restored to clarity.
Aside from the charred blackness all over his body, his face was as pale as paper, clearly severely injured.
Meng Chuan’s ten-meter-tall bronze body slowly shrank, the surrounding black arcs consolidating into substance.
This black arc was the manifestation of his killing will.
Now, this state represents that the first stage—[Condensation] is complete.
The next stage [Entanglement], including "killing intent", is the method for the Martial Arts family to further utilize willpower.
His master spoke to him about it earlier:
Without the true power of the intentional scene, it is impossible to achieve the step of will entanglement, advising him not to aim too high.
The golden-red light in the cracks of the armor gradually dimmed, and Meng Chuan exhaled a long breath.
White mist steamed, his muscles buzzing with fatigue.
Today’s fights were consuming to the fullest.
But the benefits were many, not only comprehending the embryonic form of the Intent but also learning the method of combining two Martial Arts Momentums in actual combat.
This time, a great improvement!
Meng Chuan walked to Chen Xuan’s side, thought a while, and still fed him a Cloud Water Pill.
Being possessed by a conceptual Celestial Demon mainly damages the spirit, and the effect of the Cloud Water Pill suits this.
"You owe me 8 million, remember to pay it back."
At this moment, Chen Xuan couldn’t speak, his eyes moved, showing gratitude.
When he was possessed, he just couldn’t move.
The entire battle process, he just watched helplessly as if a useless husband tied up aside...
He saw Meng Chuan’s performance clearly, it was shockingly wild.
It turns out that when the three previously competed on Lishan Mountain, Meng Chuan was just playing around...
If Meng Chuan weren’t present today, he would have been dead for sure.
Therefore, even if Chen Xuan was socially awkward, the gratitude in his heart was obvious.
In the distance, Zheng Chengcheng and the sergeant were dumbfounded, taking a long time to regain themselves.
Zheng Chengcheng swallowed, looking at Meng Chuan’s back as he searched for spoils, with only one thought in mind...
"The strong... are always strong..."
The truly invincible individuals at the same level will only rely on their own advantages to continuously accumulate more resources, thus gradually expanding their gap with others like a snowball.
Just like Meng Chuan at this moment, who has only just entered the second limit.
He can actually kill the nearly invincible [Concept Demon] within the upper rank.
This kind of ability is unheard of, unimaginable.
At this moment in his heart, he was completely convinced.
Zheng Chengcheng sincerely believed that Meng Chuan was truly the unparalleled number one of his generation...
...
The Concept Demon, being formless and without substance, also lacks a core or True Spirit.
After searching for a long time, there were no resources whatsoever.
Meng Chuan felt as if he had killed a mass of air...
He was a bit annoyed, feeling inexplicably at a loss...
But fortunately, thinking of the special military merits from completing the mission, which could exchange for a century-old snow lotus for his master, he smiled knowingly.
Moreover, the regular military merit reward for killing a Concept Demon is ten times that of a demon of the same level.
This round could also earn nearly a thousand points, which counts as some consolation.
There’s also the crystal ball from Pei Shan, the use of which is unknown, which is also considered a "trophy"...
...
In the meeting room of the Fucheng Police Bureau.
This was Meng Chuan’s first summary speech after completing a mission, sitting at the head seat.
At the moment, he wasn’t quite sure what to say...
On his left, the chief coughed awkwardly and whispered:
"Leader Xiaomeng, just summarize the process and gains and losses of the mission, and our clerk will record it for the archives..."
Meng Chuan frowned, thinking hard about what to say.
This was to be kept on record in the national police system archives.
He certainly couldn’t "mess around" like in his previous school speeches...
Forget it, this task isn’t for him.
He stood up and let the chief take his place.
"You do it, I’ll just listen."
"..."
...
Chen Xuan was subsequently sent to the Martial Artist Hospital in Yong’an City, where his psychological trauma could receive better treatment.
Meng Chuan and Zheng Chengcheng hadn’t left yet, as soldiers claiming to be from the San Qin Defense Army came to the police station.
The other party was a fourth-limit Grandmaster, the adjutant of Commander Qin:
"Please wait a moment, Commander Qin is currently arranging tasks in Fucheng to collect Lv Zu statues from residents’ homes, and wants to meet you later."
Meng Chuan nodded to express his understanding, not in a hurry.
Commander Qin was not the defense commander of Fucheng, but the highest military leader in the entire San Qin region.
Moreover, his strength had reached the level of Five Limit Venerable, so face must be given.
...
Two hours later, in the Defense Army camp outside the city.
He was a middle-aged man, exuding righteousness.
He wore gilded crimson armor similar to that of an ancient general, with a robust and sturdy build.
His sharp eyes sized up the two people in front of him, primarily focusing on Meng Chuan.
"Greetings, Commander Qin."
Qin Yue nodded, having just understood from the police bureau Meng Chuan’s performance throughout the national mission.
He was very satisfied.
Especially killing Pei Shan and then the demon, his combat prowess was explosive.
Seeing the half-missing corpse of Pei Shan, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth...
However, he evaluated it as a job well done...
He thought to himself:
"If this child joins the army, he will certainly be a national blade!"
He also remembered Lu Zhenshou’s attitude towards this child, with a look of dignity in his eyes and a smiling face:
"You’ve completed the mission well, Xiaomeng. Is there anything you’re curious about since it’s your first time on a national assignment? Feel free to ask."
Meng Chuan and Zheng Chengcheng sat down, with soldiers bringing them two cans of cola.
One could tell they were specially chilled, with frost on the can tops.
Seeing the surprise in their eyes, Qin Yue laughed:
"Hahaha, I don’t like drinking hot tea, so most of the soldiers in my camp follow me and prefer carbonated drinks."
"It’s fine, Commander Qin... I like drinking it too."
Meng Chuan took a big sip, grateful for Commander Qin’s willingness to answer questions, as he had some doubts about the Lv Zu statue:
"Commander Qin, what if residents refuse to turn in statues, or hide them deep, and some slip through during searches?"
Hearing Meng Chuan’s words, Qin Yue nodded secretly, thinking to himself:
"This child, although having a tendency to kill, cares for the people and conducts himself thoroughly, truly a talent for leadership."
After a pause, he thought about it and calmly explained:
"No worries, the ’source’ you retrieved from Shen Da Martial Hall is the aggregation point linking the faith power of these statues.
By severing the source, even if they quietly continue ’worshipping,’ there will be no faith power supplied to the demon behind the scenes.
The reason we confiscate them is that these statues have already been contaminated by the demon’s means.
Without the Martial Arts aura, ordinary people, after prolonged contact, will still suffer slight mental impacts.
Those who refuse to cooperate and hide them may only wake up after a serious illness.
Therefore, as long as we do our best, everything in the end is the harm caused to ordinary people by the Celestial Demon and the Demon Path."
