Chapter 510: Chapter 230: Crushing with Ease

He didn’t seem to give Sikong Cheng a second glance. After casually striking Shen Cangming away with his palm, he turned and went straight for Wen Buqi.

Wen Buqi’s name meant ’unremarkable,’ and there truly seemed to be nothing extraordinary about him.

Yet, when faced with Fang Shuwen’s palm strike, he didn’t even spare it a glance.

He simply threw a punch!

In truth, Wen Buqi’s fist and footwork were rather mediocre, utterly ordinary.

His specialty was the saber.

Unfortunately, he had no chance to draw it now.

Under the circumstances, that he could throw a punch at all was a testament to his quick reflexes.

And as that first punch flew, a second followed right behind it.

’Life and death are fated, anyway. He didn’t care if his punches landed or if he could kill his opponent...’

While standing on the edge of an abyss or treading on thin ice was perilous, for Wen Buqi, this was his natural state.

He was the type of person who fought with a death wish. His Martial Arts weren’t exceptional, but he had no fear of death.

Once he made a move, he fought to kill. It was a battle to the death, with no quarter given...

It was precisely this mindset that had earned him his reputation.

This principle—that a reckless man can intimidate a tough one, but even a reckless man fears someone with a death wish—might be effective against ordinary people.

But against Fang Shuwen, it was utterly meaningless.

Fang Shuwen had seen far too many people who weren’t afraid to die. On his journey through the Northern Domain, countless individuals had tried to take him down with them.

But all they accomplished was dying by his hand.

THUMP!!

A muffled thud seemed to penetrate straight to the heart.

This palm strike from Fang Shuwen wasn’t the Great Black Heaven God Palm, but the Heart Shattering Palm.

Once this Martial Art landed, Inner Strength would surge through the victim’s body, unerringly destroying their heart and innards.

And when unleashed by Fang Shuwen, its power was even greater.

In an instant, his Palm Power didn’t just shatter the heart to pulp; all the vital organs were affected.

The man appeared unharmed on the outside, but in reality, his internal organs had been turned into a single, indistinguishable mass.

With the man dead, his fists naturally fell limp.

But Fang Shuwen didn’t stop...

He pivoted and went after Bai Xixiang.

Fang Shuwen had come here today to kill, so his movements were lightning-fast.

At that very moment, Sikong Cheng had only just withdrawn his Palm Technique, not yet comprehending what had just happened.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhengze stepped forward, shielding Luo Shuqing and the others behind him.

Fang Shuwen had told them beforehand that once the fighting began, their job was to protect Luo Shuqing to prevent any mishaps.

While Luo Shuqing, Zuo Xuan, Zuo Hong, and the others were still reeling in shock from Sikong Cheng’s palm strike, Zhou Zhengze’s mind was clear. He thought of nothing but Fang Shuwen’s order.

’He never considered the possibility that Fang Shuwen might meet someone he couldn’t beat... After all, Chen Qi had said that Fang Shuwen’s Martial Arts were peerless and that he was the only one who could defeat the Undying Dragon Emperor.’

’Just think, if Fang Shuwen could even kill the Undying Dragon Emperor, wouldn’t the mere Island Master of Nameless Island be a piece of cake?’

Thus, this pure and somewhat simple-minded young man didn’t give the group before him a second thought.

Seeing this, Zuo Xuan and Zuo Hong also snapped out of it.

Before anyone else could even process the situation, they quickly dragged Luo Shuqing back to a corner of the hall to hide.

WHIZZ! WHIZZ! WHIZZ! WHIZZ! WHIZZ! WHIZZ!!

A mechanism clicked, followed by the sound of something shooting forth.

The sound came from Bai Xixiang.

As one of the six great masters of Nameless Island, he naturally had a few tricks up his sleeve.

Fang Shuwen had killed Wen Buqi with a single palm and was now coming for him in the blink of an eye, so of course he was ready to react.

Aside from his own Martial Arts, Bai Xixiang possessed an extraordinary Mechanical Device.

The device was called the ’Jade Hoop Waist,’ the creation of an unknown Mechanical Master.

This master had crafted a belt from jade, with a mechanism hidden inside. Extremely tough silk threads were wound around its internal structure.

To use it, one only needed to press it lightly.

And the silk threads within would shoot out.

They could shoot out in a single line, unfold into a net in mid-air, or entangle an object to obstruct an enemy.

Its applications were numerous, both complex and ingenious.

After obtaining the device, Bai Xixiang paid a considerable price to acquire Water Silk from the Celestial Water Palace.

He incorporated the Water Silk into the Jade Hoop Waist, increasing its power countless times over.

Water Silk could be used as a weapon on its own. Soft Armor woven from it was impervious to blades, would not burn in fire, and became invisible in water.

In terms of toughness, while one couldn’t call it the best in the world, it certainly ranked among the top.

Seeing Fang Shuwen’s ferocious advance, he activated the belt without hesitation.

The Water Silk shot out, unfurling in mid-air.

’Once Fang Shuwen is entangled, the others will snap out of their shock. Then we can attack him together. I refuse to believe this uninvited guest won’t die here in Sikong Villa.’

But just as Bai Xixiang was thinking this, he saw Fang Shuwen form his fingers into a claw and snatch at the air.

An ear-piercing series of CRACKS and SCREECHES immediately filled the air.

The joyful expression on Bai Xixiang’s face froze in an instant.

’Water Silk is incredibly tough. Grabbing it bare-handed is foolish; the soft threads become as sharp as razors.’

’The slightest bit of force would be enough to sever all five fingers.’

This was the source of Bai Xixiang’s delight. But just as he was certain Fang Shuwen would lose a hand, the result was... a strange, cringe-inducing sound from the friction between the Water Silk and Fang Shuwen’s fingers.

Fang Shuwen’s hand was completely unharmed. Instead, with a casual tug, the Water Silk went completely limp, its power nullified.

The color drained from Bai Xixiang’s face.

’Someone with this kind of power couldn’t possibly be an ordinary Jianghu person!’

He instinctively opened his mouth to question the man’s identity, but he suddenly lost his footing. His entire body was pulled straight toward Fang Shuwen.
