Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent

Chapter 115: Prove

Boom! Boom!

As stifled sounds rang out, the killing moves that the two men struck out with their greatest power were overpowered.

Li Pin almost didn't pause much. With a flying pounce, he instantly appeared before Jiang Zhenhai, who had nearly lost his arm.

Before this Solar Vermillion Sect's eldest martial brother could say anything, Li Pin stretched open his palm and covered Jiang Zhenghai's face with his hand.

Then...

He pressed down hard toward the ground!

Boom!

The intense sound of collision rang out throughout the stage.

To accentuate the award recipients, the organizer had specially built a small platform and laid a layer of red carpet over it. So, when Li Pin pressed down on Jiang Zhenhai, he pushed through the entire stage, sending wood fragments hurtling and tearing the bright red carpet.

After pushing Jiang Zhenhai through the stage, Li Pin exerted force through his legs and, like a slithering dragon, instantly went after the two Core Formation martial artists.

Before the two Core Formation martial artists could unleash their Force to their peak level, Li Pin's fist force shook and dispersed one of the martial artist's Core Force. His fist force went on to collide against that person's chest without losing any momentum.

The raging impact of the collision caused the Core Formation martial artist to feel like he had been hit by a truck moving at over a hundred kilometers per hour. The impact didn't just break his ribs, it sent his over-eighty-kilogram body flying before it smashed into the two other Core Formation martial artists making their way over.

Having cleared up more space for the battle, Li Pin's left hand thrust out at lightning speed as he unfurled his fist to accurately capture the fist force that a Core Formation martial artist had thrown out.

Catching the Core Formation martial artist's fist into his open palm, Li Pin wrapped his five fingers over it and pressed down forcefully!

Crack!

Ahhh!

The crunching sounds of bones breaking rang out in the air accompanied by an agonizing cry.

At this moment, Li Pin saw, from the corner of his eyes, that a Core Formation martial artist had leaped into the air and was kicking toward him like a slithering dragon.

The force people could exert through their legs usually far surpassed what they could exert using their arms.

The assailant's clothes were flapping with the wind as he kicked out, as though he was stepping on wind and thunder.

However, Li Pin easily dodged the attack with a slight tilt of his head. That wasn't all; Li Pin proceeded to nudge his shoulder up, knocking off the balance of the Core Formation martial artist kicking out in mid-air.

Li Pin seized the opportunity to strike out his left arm like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, landing on the Core Formation martial artist's chest.

Force eruption!

An Aura Cultivation Grandmaster's every move was infused with domineering Aura Force. This strike dented the Core Formation martial artist's chest, causing it to cave in with a fist imprint.

Li Pin's raging and violent punch sent the martial artist flying until he crashed into another Core Formation martial artist who had been charging forth.

Li Pin didn't pause. He did a 180-degree spin as he lifted one of his legs off the floor, sweeping out like a big windmill.

Gao Liushui had been pouncing at Li Pin from the back when Li Pin did this. Before Gao Liushui could release his explosive attack, Li Pin used the advantage of his longer reach with his kick to hit him fiercely in the head.

"This is bad!"

Gao Liushui was a strong contender for the top ten, just like Han Li. His battle prowess was ranked right after Gu Haoran, Zhou Yuanfei, and Jiang Zhenhai, so it went without a doubt that he had very fast reactions.

Gao Liushui put his arm next to his head to defend against Li Pin's kick. However, the strength of his arm was no match to Li Pin's leg.

Boom!

Force exploded and scattered!

Gao Liushui's sleeve was torn, sending cloth fragments flying.

Faced with Li Pin's violent kick that could break even a big tree, Gao Liushui's ulna and radial bone snapped concurrently.

The power of the Force radiating from Li Pin's leg didn't reduce in power and caused Gao Liushui's arm to smash heavily against his head.

A tiger jumping into a flock of sheep!

At that moment, with the top ten experts from the Jiang Province Martial Competition jointly attacking Li Pin, everyone finally understood what it was like for a tiger to jump into a flock of sheep.

Not a single Core Formation martial artist was a match for Li Pin. They were all being dominated. Even Gu Haoran, Jiang Zhenhai, and Zhou Yuanfei, who were all ranked in the top three, fell without any exception. The moment they wanted to trade fists with Li Pin, they ended up in a world of hurt.

The over ten thousand spectators watched in shock at the dominating power displayed.

Even though Li Pin had mentioned from the start that he wanted to take on all ten participants concurrently, everyone felt his arrogance caused him to overestimate himself. Some people had even booed at him.

However, the previously doubting audience had been rendered speechless when Li Pin displayed his absolute dominating power.

In this world where martial arts prospered, everyone more or less had relevant knowledge about martial arts. However, at this moment, even the people who didn't have the slightest idea about martial arts could tell that Li Pin was on a completely different level from the contestants in the top ten.

Even when he went up against all ten of them, he still appeared as if he was bashing up a bunch of young kids, with them having no way to hold up at all.

Two fists are no match for four hands? Irregular punches kill the old master?

When the difference between the two sides was big enough, those didn't apply at all!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xiangliu's phantom image once again sent all three Core Formation martial artists flying with an engulfing Force. One of them even flew off the stage and hit hard against the ground, unable to get back up again.

At this moment, an enraged bellow rang out, "Li Pin!"

Gu Haoran was charging at Li Pin once again, no longer hesitant.

He was furious at having been humiliated!

The belief formed from such fury caused his attack to become increasingly majestic. The impactful might that seemed heavy like mountains and could cause mountains to crumble was perfectly demonstrated. The Aura Force he erupted seethed the atmosphere, forming white currents and scattered off.

Vaguely, he showed signs of the might close to that of an Aura Cultivation Grandmaster, like Qiu Chuyun. This showed how condensed his Force had become at this moment.

It was a pity that... his attempt was useless.

Li Pin's qi and blood was like a big fire furnace or a scorching sun. With just a single thought from him, flames erupted. It was as if the divine bird Bifang was flying in the air, bringing along scorching flames and heating up the world.

Boom!

The sounds of explosions reverberated in the atmosphere.

As the Aura Forces collided, the atmosphere within several meters of Li Pin and Gu Haoran was torn apart. Their punches caused raging air currents that could be seen by the naked eye to rise.

However, even though Gu Haoran had worked so hard, striking out an Aura Force attack comparable to an Aura Cultivation Grandmaster, he still couldn't escape the fate of being defeated on the spot.

Amidst the exploding and scattering air currents, Gu Haoran sensed his arm go numb. Then, he completely lost sensation in his arm, as if it was no longer within his control.

Glancing at his arm, Gu Haoran saw the blood vessels on his arm breaking as his entire arm rapidly turned bloody red at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Gu Haoran's eyes widened in shock. "My arm..."

Just at that moment, Gu Haoran's wide-open eyes allowed him to finally see from the corner of his eye a figure quickly coming for him after the Aura Force dissipated!

No! It wasn't a figure! It was a huge mountain! Li Pin seemed to have turned into a mountain, bringing with him overwhelming prowess! It was a lofty mountain so tall that its peak couldn't be seen, never to be surpassed!

Above the mountain, a destructive power pierced through void space and descended like a world-destroying thunderbolt. With it, it brought a despairing deathly aura that landed fiercely on his neck.

At that moment, Gu Haoran realized that this wasn't a world-destroying thunderbolt... but a hand. It was a hand of death that grabbed onto his neck and could easily crush it with the slightest bit of force exertion.

Chi Xingyu was so scared that his soul almost left his body. "Stop it!" he screamed.

That was Gu Haoran! He was from the Gu Family!

The Gu Family had left Gu Haoran in the hands of Lin Yuzhi for Lin Yuzhi to arrange for Gu Haoran to get the first place in Jiang Province. Both the Gu Family and Lin Yuzhi had undergone a series of agreements as well.

However, if Gu Haoran were to die in Jiang Province because they failed to protect him, the consequences would be dire!

Fearing what could happen, this martial society's deputy chairman no longer cared for fairness. He let out a fierce bellow and erupted his Force. He was like a Tyrannosaurus, pouncing to attack Li Pin with a thunderbolt-like might.

However, Chi Xingyu wasn't a Martial Saint. He wasn't even a Martial Saint who had achieved his status through connections like Qiu Chufeng, Liu Tiandao, Shu Shaoyan, and Xiao Yungfeng.

Even though Lin Yuzhi had been trying hard to make use of connections over the years, many other people were also trying to achieve Martial Saint status in other provinces and in the capital through such means. He had never gotten his chance even after three years.

However, although he was not a Martial Saint, that didn't mean Chi Xingyu was weak. He still hadn't hit fifty and was in his prime. He was also an internal Aura Force Grandmaster who could release Spirit Force in optimal condition. If he was forced into a life-or-death battle, he'd definitely be stronger than Qiu Chufeng.

Right now, he had made a move in shock and rage. Taking Li Pin very seriously and worried about the consequences should he fail to save Gu Haoran, all of his Vitality, Qi, and Spirit erupted at full force.

Therefore, the prowess of his attack wasn't any weaker than Qiu Chufeng's ultimate move—Vermillion Phoenix Rise.

Li Pin laughed. "You've come!"

He wasn't surprised that Chi Xingyu would make a move. After all, these people had precedence.

Li Pin could absolutely choose to throw out Gu Haoran to stop Chi Xingyu's pouncing attack. However... he had no intention of doing so at all.

Instead, he tossed Gu Haoran to the side.

In the next moment, his qi and blood seethed. They erupted with a boom as if sparks had come into contact with petroleum.

The Blood-Seething Secret Art!

The surging power instantly caused his skin to turn bright red, as if a layer of blood flames had formed or if he were a ferocious god that walked out from massacre and annihilation, carrying along an endless bloody pernicious aura.

As his heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen resonated concurrently, he attacked the martial society's deputy chairman who was an internal Aura Force Grandmaster in the prime of his age.

Chi Xingyu saw the blaze gleaming from Li Pin's eyes and... understood.

He understood such a gaze.

Back in the day... when he was very young, in a bid to comprehend Core Force, he had also challenged many martial halls in the small county city he was born in. He dueled over ten Transformative Force and Core Force experts. Even though he was beaten up badly till he was covered in blood, he didn't back off in the slightest.

Back then, he too had a similar gleam in his eyes. But he could never remember when he had started to lose it.

It was a pity...

However, he knew this wasn't the time to reminiscence.

Having been through a similar experience himself, Chi Xingyu knew that when he was facing such a gaze, he had no other choice. He'd have to face Li Pin with his strongest attack in order to defeat him, extinguishing the blazing flames in his eyes...

Or....

Die.
