Chapter 1274: Chapter 1360: Unmatched Divine Power

The copper hammer as thick as a water jar looked terrifying enough, let alone when wielded by Shi Fanzhen, who stood three meters tall; it was truly daunting.

Speaking of which, Chen Nan blocked the big hammer with one fist, provoking Shi Fanzhen’s fury to swing the other big hammer down.

The void thundered, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder; the big hammer pressed down like a giant mountain onto the other hammer above. Why strike the other hammer instead of directly aiming at Chen Nan?

The reason is simple!

Think about it, the hammer was as big as a water jar. The previous strike had already completely obscured Chen Nan’s body.

From Shi Fanzhen’s angle, he could no longer see Chen Nan below, only the big hammer in his hand. Hence, this second strike aimed at the previous one, intending to pass the force down to crush Chen Nan.

But who is Chen Nan? How could he be so easily pressured?

His cultivated Inner Strength is supremely powerful and masculine, inherently a forceful Martial Artist; he has never lost in a head-on contest of strength among his peers.

Heaven Breaking Kill!

Demonic Qi whirled around, condensing into a spiral force. With a loud shout, Chen Nan thrust his other fist skyward, the spiral force piercing the heavens. A thunderous “clang” echoed as it struck the massive copper hammer.

Shi Fanzhen felt a tingling in his household registration; the hammer pressing down on Chen Nan jumped upward from the impact.

Simultaneously, his approaching second hammer collided with the rebounding hammer, sending a tingling sensation through his arms. An immense wave of air erupted, forcing him back three steps, cracking the ground beneath his feet.

“Amazing! Truly Divine Power!”

The surrounding spectators cheered, finding the close combat of Martial Artists much more thrilling than the distant attacks of those cultivating Taoist Skills.

The arena was paved with stone bricks. But now, beneath both Chen Nan and the bulky Shi Fanzhen, the ground had cracked, and the stone bricks were shattered.

“Good lad! Among our peers, you’re the first who can withstand two of my hammer strikes without getting overwhelmed!” Shi Fanzhen’s eyes bulged comically, the fierce expression giving him an almost amusing appearance. He clashed his twin hammers together and charged at Chen Nan again: “Kid, bring out your weapon!”

Chen Nan frowned. Even now, exerting four times his usual strength, fighting barehanded made winning difficult.

Every master hides their true power; Chen Nan wasn’t about to reveal his hand with Dragon Transformation so soon.

“If that’s the case, then as you wish.”

In Chen Nan’s hand, a golden light flickered, presenting the Phoenix Wing Gold-Plated Mace. Calmly, he watched Shi Fanzhen charge in.

The big guy noticed Chen Nan’s mace, a typical strength-type weapon, and his face lit with wild excitement. He exclaimed, “Alright, let’s see who’s stronger, you or me!”

“You’ve got a head like a mountain, but your strength is as weak as a girl’s. Today, I’ll smash you until your guts spill!” Chen Nan swung his Phoenix Wing Mace, leapt, and charged toward Shi Fanzhen, aiming a Shattering Heaven and Earth strike right at him.

“Wah yah yah yah, how dare you call me a girl!”

The big guy was enraged, raising his hammer high. When it collided with Chen Nan’s mace, a thunderous clang erupted, sparks shooting everywhere like Divine Thunder descending, ripping apart floor tiles upon impact.

The center of the arena formed an enormous open pit from the explosion.

Everyone below went pale; the match between the two was truly a clash of equals, astonishing them all.

Even the Kuang Clan elder on the stage frowned, performing a series of Dharma Seals to create a barrier around the arena, preventing the Inner Strength from harming bystanders.

“Wah yah yah yah, again!”

Shi Fanzhen shouted, shaking his hammer free from Chen Nan’s mace, stepping forward, and bringing another hammer down on Chen Nan’s head.

Chen Nan positioned his Phoenix Wing Mace in front, and the hammer crashed onto its handle.

A resounding clang echoed, sending Chen Nan reeling back several steps, while Shi Fanzhen also stumbled back.

Where they moved, the ground bore deep footprints, but the dissipating Inner Strength was all blocked by the Kuang Clan leader’s barrier.

Onlookers were left speechless.

Even Yun Chen and Tao Zui showed surprise in their gazes.

“Wah yah yah yah, this is fun, kid! Come at me again, I’ll smash you to death!” Shi Fanzhen was exhilarated, laughing heartily while swinging his hammer.

Chen Nan realized that although Shi Fanzhen’s cultivation was strong, his intellect seemed quite lacking.

If so, why not use strategy to win instead of recklessly exhausting my strength?

Chen Nan understood based on their current display of strength; without Dragon Transformation, he couldn’t win within 300 moves. But with some strategy, victory was within reach.

The two charged at each other, exchanging blows once more.

This time, Chen Nan deliberately used less strength, allowing himself to be pushed back over ten meters, leaving fractured footprints on the ground.

“Haha, kid, you’re done for!”

Shi Fanzhen was delighted, swinging his hammer to attack once more.

Chen Nan avoided direct confrontation, continuously dodging and occasionally using clever moves to create an impression of waning strength.

Shi Fanzhen thought victory was near, but after fifty moves, Chen Nan remained consistent, frustrating the big oaf to no end.

Then, Chen Nan suddenly backed several yards away, saying, “Shi Fanzhen, if we continue like this, it’ll be hard to determine a winner. Why don’t we take turns striking? I’ll smash you three times with my mace, then you do the same with your hammer, to see who’s truly stronger.”

The big oaf scratched his head, thinking, you’re already running out of strength, but still dare to challenge me? Court death!

“Alright, no problem, you go ahead!” The big oaf agreed.

“Take my mace!”

Chen Nan leapt into the air, swinging his mace at Shi Fanzhen, who raised his hammer to block.

“Clang…”

Chen Nan deliberately held back his strength with this strike.

Upon impact, he was sent flying back, his body swaying before falling to the ground.

Shi Fanzhen laughed, “Kid, you’re done, come, two more maces to go!”

Chen Nan approached again, this second strike even lighter than the first, as if completely drained, not using any strength.

Shi Fanzhen was overjoyed, thinking the kid was utterly out of strength, relaxed his guard, planning to easily take another hit. Then it would be his turn, with three hammer strikes; he’d crack open this kid’s head!

At this moment, Chen Nan swung his Phoenix Wing Mace, launching the third attack.

This time, he unleashed his full strength. Unprepared, Shi Fanzhen had completely let his guard down.
