Nasha Kingdom's Grand General Lie was locked in battle against the esoteric sect's Lord of the Charnel Ground, Jue Guo.

The surrounding streets had been pummeled into utter silence. As some of the most powerful superhumans in the current world, they could each destroy a small to medium-sized city.

Thus, in their battlefield zone, no living creature remained.

The entire battlefield was charred black, with black mist swirling everywhere.

Lie had a head of fiery red hair, and his fists burned with scorching flames. Anything struck by his fists would burst into blazing fire, then explode!

This ability gave him an immense advantage in close-quarters combat.

Even the Lord of the Charnel Ground couldn't avoid physical contact with him.

However, a layer of sacred golden light shrouded his body—that was his ability, [Indestructible Golden Body], which could shield him from damage caused by superhuman abilities.

But under Lie's relentless assault, his defenses began to show weakness, becoming unstable.

Lie looked at the small monk before him, his eyes filled with the mockery of someone staring at a bug.

"You might have some tricks, but you're still far from matching me! But I think, for such a powerful hairless rat, your meat must be very delicious!"

"Don't worry, soon you'll enter my belly and merge with me! Hahaha!"

Lie laughed loudly, but his eyes were filled with ferocity.

"Whoosh!"

He vanished instantly, reappearing behind the Lord of the Charnel Ground a moment later.

Accompanying his arrival was an endless storm of flames!

His fists, far larger than an adult's, slammed viciously toward the back of the Lord's head!

The Lord of the Charnel Ground pressed his palms together, golden light surging around him. The moment Lie appeared behind him, his beautiful peach-blossom eyes narrowed.

"Slap!"

He swung his large sleeve backhand, his palm meeting Lie's fist, blocking the powerful blow.

But blocking Lie's fist didn't mean blocking the power of [Explosive Fist].

A dense, nearly liquid red energy spread from where their hands touched, rapidly traveling up the Lord's arm, completely enveloping it.

In the Lord's shocked eyes—

Boom!!!

A violent explosion erupted instantly.

A black figure was violently hurled from the smoke of the blast.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground crashed to the ground, slightly disheveled. One arm was charred black, blood still flowing from it. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

His clothes had long been burned away, revealing his robust, youthful body.

But soon, he raised his left hand and chanted a Buddhist invocation.

A mysterious power came from the Sangha Monastery on the surface world, rapidly restoring his necrotic arm to its original state.

Deep beneath the Snowy Plateau Region, it was as if he stood in a mobile fountain—any damage he received would be quickly repaired.

Unless killed instantly, he was practically undying.

However, Lie's attacks still gave him a massive headache.

Because the Lord's primary fighting style was also close combat; he was extremely lacking in long-range attacks, so he inevitably had to make physical contact with Lie.

But he currently had no good way to break free from this forcibly transferred explosive power.

Lie watched the Lord's arm restore itself, the surprise in his eyes growing stronger, but his mockery also deepened.

Facing a meat shield that could endlessly repair itself, such a brute was naturally overjoyed.

He slammed his fists together hard, twisted his thick neck, and grinned wide.

"Let's see how long you can keep fixing yourself!"

The attack began again, endless as a storm.

All around the Lord of the Charnel Ground, Lie's blazing fists filled the air.

His fists were wrapped in dense red energy, sticky as liquid. Once physical contact occurred, it would cling like bone-gnawing maggots, impossible to shake off.

Under Lie's assault, the Lord had no choice but to constantly dodge and try to avoid physical contact.

The two chased each other from sky to ground, shattering the earth. In this process, the Lord was inevitably struck.

The explosion of that red energy was something even his golden body couldn't withstand!

He had to use the power of the Sangha Monastery to repair his body time and again.

Gradually, a look of despair appeared on the face of this supreme leader of the esoteric sect.

He had originally believed that, as the leader of the esoteric sect, the strongest in a millennium, and the reincarnation of the hero King Gesar, it was only natural that he should suppress the Demon Abyss and establish unparalleled achievements.

But why, in Nasha, couldn't he even defeat a single Grand General?

If that was the case, how could he talk about destroying the Demon Abyss and bringing eternal peace and stability to the Snowy Plateau?

The unwillingness in the Lord's eyes was fully captured by Lie, which only excited him further and deepened the mockery in his gaze.

He thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of toying with his opponent, pushing them to the brink and watching them die in agony—it was his favorite way to win.

"Hairless rat, you don't actually think you can defeat me, a dignified Grand General of the Nasha Kingdom, do you?"

"Today, I'll show you what cruelty really means! What despair really means!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

His fists hammered the Lord continuously like pile drivers, as terrifying as thousands of black iron pillars pounding a mortar.

The sheer physical strength alone was enough to shatter a mountain, let alone the delayed-explosion red superhuman energy it carried.

The Lord gritted his teeth, pushed to the limit by Lie's relentless pressure, and finally went all out.

"Since dodging is useless, let's blow each other up! Let's see who gives out first!"

His body erupted with surging golden light, every inch of him as if cast in molten gold, resembling the golden Buddha statues enshrined in temples.

Indestructible Golden Body, flesh indestructible, power limitless!

With this punch, he directly clashed head-on with Lie—two fists, one small and one large, collided. The surging power instantly swept across all directions!

Its force was so immense that even Lie's pupils contracted slightly. Both were sent flying far apart by the shockwave.

Lie twisted his arm, feeling a bit numb.

"This hairless rat... isn't so simple!"

He muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, the second-stage damage from the red explosive flame energy on the Lord's arm had arrived.

The violent explosion left him in a sorry state, now completely naked—not even a scrap of cloth left—fighting in the nude.

After all, his simple Dharma robes couldn't withstand the power of a Black Chariot-level collision.

Fortunately, within tens of miles, there were no living creatures, nor any esoteric sect disciples to witness his humiliating state.

Lie twisted his head and grinned.

"I've had a pretty good time today! Let's keep going!"
