Chapter 417: Chapter 278: The Zombie God is the Strongest! Bullshit Three Prohibitions

But this only stirred Yang An’s will to fight.

Although he had only recently broken through to the Zombie God realm, he had yet to meet a true opponent. Facing such a formidable enemy, Yang An didn’t think for a moment that he would lose.

It just went to show that whoever was sent to guard the Round Gate Four Pavilions was no pushover.

"Bei Zhen!"

An angry roar echoed out. Yang An looked up to see Qing Sha leaping high into the air, the Stone Stele with him. His feet had merged with the stele, and he was now plummeting toward Yang An at incredible speed.

BOOM!

But just before the impact, a flash of light flared around Yang An as he easily dodged with his Light and Shadow Escape Technique.

The Stone Stele slammed into the ground, instantly creating a massive, deep crater. From beneath the earth, endless black qi erupted like a volcano.

"Fist Dragon!"

Another roar came from within the erupting black qi. A massive dragon formed of the dark energy suddenly shot out, charging straight for Yang An.

Yang An didn’t dodge. He had already left a Qi Seal on Qing Sha, and its position told him that his opponent wasn’t inside the black qi. So, he threw a counter-punch.

The punch shattered the black qi dragon, causing it to burst apart.

The moment the black qi touched the Dust covering Yang An’s body, it disintegrated on contact.

"Buddhist Flourishing!"

The next moment, countless Sanskrit characters appeared above the roiling black qi. They rapidly condensed into the image of a Buddha wielding a Magic Staff. The staff, seeming to weigh a million pounds, swept violently toward him.

Yang An dug his feet into the ground for leverage, meeting the sweeping Magic Staff with both palms in a sudden, powerful shove.

SCRAPE...

His feet carved long trenches in the ground as the massive Magic Staff pushed him back dozens of meters before he finally halted, having scraped out a wide arc on the earth.

The Magic Staff stopped just before Yang An. But he immediately threw another punch, shattering it completely. At the same time, a countless swarm of Dust shot out from his body, following the staff’s trajectory straight toward Qing Sha’s position. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

’You’ve had your turn. Now it’s mine!’

The Dust was the perfect counter to the black qi; any wisp that touched it instantly dissipated. Yang An shot forward again, using the Dust to clear a path, parting the endless black qi. In the blink of an eye, he plunged into the heart of the eruption.

Everything around him had been pitch black, but the arrival of the Dust brought with it the light.

Qing Sha was still brewing his next attack under the cover of the black qi when Yang An appeared right in front of him. A single, sudden punch sent him flying out of the roiling darkness.

The Dust exploded outward in a storm, like a burst of countless stars in the darkness, tearing the vast black curtain to shreds.

Qing Sha hit the ground, and the Stone Stele crashed down beside him, leaving yet another massive crater. His eyes were filled with utter shock.

He was stunned by the power Yang An had displayed. He never expected Yang An’s Body Refining to be so formidable.

He could tell that Yang An had only mastered the refinement and physical transformation of a single type of Dust, yet the power he wielded was enough to completely suppress him.

’Although I’ve never witnessed the true power of the Jade Kala Vajra Body, this doesn’t match what I’ve heard. Can the combat power of the Jade Kala Vajra Body, using only a single type of Dust, really be this strong?’

WHOOSH!

The sound of something cutting through the air arrived as two massive boulders hurtled toward Qing Sha. He simply raised a hand and shattered them into dust.

But in that same instant, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

"Is this the strongest a Zombie God can be, according to you?"

A disdainful smile appeared on Yang An’s face as he threw another punch.

Golden Dust swirled around his fist. If Qing Sha dared to take this punch, the Dust would invade his body, and the outcome would be sealed.

Qing Sha snorted. It was true he had underestimated Yang An’s strength. But so what?

"Such arrogance! Did you know that you’re only fighting one-fourth of my body? If you have the guts, do you dare fight me inside the Stone Stele?"

As he spoke, he suddenly caught Yang An’s fist with one hand, stopping the blow dead in its tracks. Then, without a moment’s hesitation, he tore off his own arm that held the fist and flashed several dozen meters away.

In the instant he retreated, the Dust had already invaded the severed arm. Unfortunately for Yang An, Qing Sha had acted just in time. By decisively sacrificing his arm, he prevented the Dust from entering his main body.

A new arm sprouted from his severed shoulder. He then waited for Yang An’s answer.

’One-fourth of his body?’

Yang An raised an eyebrow, a realization dawning on him.

’There are four Round Gate Four Pavilions. He said this is only one-fourth of his body... Could it be that he has three other bodies, each guarding a Stone Stele?’

’The guardian of the Round Gate Four Pavilions... is a single person?’

"Do you dare fight me inside the Stone Stele? This isn’t my true strength. Even if you manage to kill me, I’ll just reappear. That is, unless you can kill all of my bodies.

So? Are you sure you’re up to the task? To face my true, complete self!"

For some reason, Qing Sha suddenly seemed rather smug, as if he were deliberately goading Yang An, trying to provoke his desire for a fight.

"Why would I do that? And... what are you smirking about? So what if this isn’t your complete form? I’ll just destroy this body, then spread the word that I defeated you. Everyone will think I’m stronger than you. Heh.
