Chapter 395: Who Can't Protect You

Kong Yuanba, whose face had been grim, froze.

What did he mean?

Jiang Fan hadn't used his full power yet?

Impossible!

For an outer sect disciple to cultivate his physique to this extent was already a miracle. How could he not have gone all out yet?

You Yunzi, who had been about to intervene, stopped, a hint of excitement in his eyes. He watched the fight with eager anticipation.

Gu Huaxi also began to scrutinize Jiang Fan again, her expression showing great interest.

Xue Wanzhong, on the other hand, was taken aback. He immediately felt a dangerous premonition and tried to create distance by retracting his fists. But it was already too late.

"Nine Styles of Warring Heaven!"

When combined with martial arts, his physical strength was truly unleashed!

"Mountain Collapse!""Cloud Shatter!""Thunder Shock!""Wind Break!"

For the first few moves, Xue Wanzhong was still able to withstand the blows with his physique, and even counterattack. However, as the fight progressed, the power of the moves increased, and his fists ached from the impacts. His recently healed poison wounds reopened, spurting blood. Xue Wanzhong gradually found himself only able to parry, and even that was becoming increasingly difficult!

Until Jiang Fan unleashed his final move.

"Sky Splitter!"

An immense punch, far surpassing the combined power of the previous eight moves, slammed into Xue Wanzhong's arms, which were crossed over his chest.

*CRACK!*

The sickening sound of bones snapping echoed, making one's teeth ache. The terrifying force of the punch continued unabated, pressing his broken arms violently against his chest.

*CRUNCH, CRUNCH!*

Several bones in his chest also fractured and caved in.

Unable to bear the immense power, Xue Wanzhong felt a dull ache in his chest. Then, with a gush, a large mouthful of blood spewed out! His three-meter-tall body staggered and then crashed heavily to the ground!

The delayed sensation of pain gradually set in. Only then did Xue Wanzhong feel a tearing agony, and a piercing shriek erupted from his throat.

Dust billowed across the battlefield. Just like the tumultuous waves of shock in the hearts of those present.

The second most talented disciple of the Giant Sect. The possessor of ancient giant bloodline.

Completely defeated! And defeated in a battle of physique!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it was real!

Xue Wanzhong's face turned red with pain, but what hurt more was his pride. He gritted his teeth, glaring venomously at Jiang Fan, and roared, "You wait! You just wait for me!!! I'll kill you, I'll definitely kill you! And your family and friends, your fellow disciples, I won't spare a single one! Not a single one!!!"

*SWISH!*

But his words were still hanging in the air. A chilling sword qi instantly landed on his arm. Blood immediately splattered. A massive arm flew into the air. Xue Wanzhong froze for a moment, then turned his head to see that half of his right arm was gone. Excruciating pain followed, making him scream in agony: "Argh! Argh!! My arm, my arm!!!"

Jiang Fan held the Sword of Sorrowful Frost, his eyes as cold as ice: "Who told you our fight was over? I said, I'll make you pay for blood with blood! Heaven and Earth Starfall!"

He unleashed another terrifying sword qi, giving Xue Wanzhong no chance to react!

Kong Yuanba was furious! It was bad enough that Jiang Fan had defeated his disciple in a battle of physique, shaming him as the sect leader. But he dared to commit violence right in front of him? And even try to bully his beloved disciple? Did Jiang Fan have any respect for him, the Sect Leader of the Giant Sect?

"You're asking for death!!" Kong Yuanba roared. His mighty roar directly dispersed the sword qi heading towards Xue Wanzhong! Immediately after, he moved in a blur and attacked Jiang Fan!

Jiang Fan didn't even glance at him, rubbing his hands together. The Sword of Sorrowful Frost in his palm spun rapidly. "Go!" As the single word left his lips, the Sword of Sorrowful Frost transformed into a world-shaking rainbow, piercing through the air!

"What? Sword control art?" You Yunzi and Gu Huaxi were utterly astonished. Wasn't that Xu Qingyang's unique skill from the Myriad Sword Sect?

Kong Yuanba was also startled and quickly dodged.

Seizing this opportunity, Jiang Fan decisively struck!

"Arrogant Dragon's Repentance!" The final move of the *Heavenly Maiming Finger*.

Multi-colored specks of light gathered into an incomparably powerful beam, instantly shooting towards Xue Wanzhong's neck. Xue Wanzhong's eyelids twitched in fear, and he hastily rolled over. His neck narrowly avoided the powerful finger technique. However, his shoulder was grazed by the beam, ripping off a large chunk of skin and flesh.

"Hiss!" Xue Wanzhong gasped in pain. He quickly scrambled to his feet and ran towards his master. He had never imagined that one day, when facing a peer, he would have to cry for help from his master! And in such a pathetic state.

Kong Yuanba was absolutely enraged! The moment he dodged the sword control art, Jiang Fan had injured his disciple again!

"Preposterous!" Kong Yuanba snapped. He leaped forward, shielding Xue Wanzhong behind him, his eyes blazing with intense killing intent. If not for his apprehension of You Yunzi, he would have long since killed Jiang Fan a hundred, even a thousand times over!

Xue Wanzhong's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled. With his master present, he was safe. Feeling the intense pain in his body, he poked his head out slightly and glared at Jiang Fan with hatred.

But what chilled him to the bone was that Jiang Fan showed no intention of stopping!

*THUD!*

Jiang Fan pulled off the wooden box from his back, slammed it heavily onto the ground, the chill on his face intensifying rather than diminishing. "Do you think I can't do anything to you just because your master is protecting you? Today, no one can protect you!!!"

Kong Yuanba let out an angry laugh! He had personally stepped in to protect Xue Wanzhong, yet Jiang Fan still refused to relent!

"How dare you!" Kong Yuanba snapped. "I'd like to see what you can do to my disciple!"

*CLANG!*

Jiang Fan wasted no words. He flung open the wooden box, grabbed the ivory-white guqin, pressed his five fingers onto it, and immediately began to play.

*CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!*

Sharp musical notes transformed into terrifying sound waves, like blades and swords. Centering on Jiang Fan, they swept fiercely in all directions. The ground was slashed with smoking cracks. The surrounding flowerbeds and trees shattered completely. Even You Yunzi and Gu Huaxi's expressions changed, and they activated their spiritual energy to protect themselves. Surprise showed on both their faces.

"This... isn't this the Heavenly Sound Sect's cultivation method?""No, the Heavenly Sound Sect doesn't even have such powerful musical scores!"

Kong Yuanba's face instantly paled. He suddenly felt as if countless knives were cutting into his skin, a burning pain. But it still couldn't wound his physique. However, he was fine.

Xue Wanzhong, however, couldn't endure it!

*SPLASH, SPLASH!*

In an instant, Xue Wanzhong's skin was ripped open and his flesh torn, blood spurting. In just a brief moment, he sustained over a dozen gruesome wounds.

"Argh! Hiss! Argh!!" Xue Wanzhong cried out in agony.

Kong Yuanba was greatly shocked and tried to shield him. But these sound waves were pervasive; how could he possibly shield him from them? Seeing his disciple continuously harmed right in front of him, and unable to protect him, the master was enraged. Fury immediately surged within him, and his eyes bulged as he glared at Jiang Fan: "You're seeking death!"

*WHOOSH!*

He took a step, moving with the speed of lightning. His imposing figure, like a towering mountain, slammed towards Jiang Fan!

Jiang Fan, however, decisively picked up the guqin, employing his movement technique while continuously sending out musical notes.

*BANG!*

Almost the moment Jiang Fan stepped away, Kong Yuanba stomped on the spot where he had just stood. The ground immediately cracked from the force! He turned his head to look. Jiang Fan was actually moving towards Xue Wanzhong at a speed no less than his own. This filled Kong Yuanba with a mixture of shock and rage: "Stop it!!!"
