nChapter 157: This is What it Means to Go All Out

n

nWhen Ferraro unleashed this claw, Su Chen, Danba, and the others all grew solemn. They knew that this was the most critical moment of the battle.

n

nWang Doushan also realized this point.

n

nHe no longer hesitated. The image of a Snow Crane appeared behind him.

n

n“Snow Earthquake Explosion!”

n

nAfter expending tons of lifeforce due to his constant injuries, his strength had decreased, and the Snow Earthquake Explosion once again became Wang Doushan’s most powerful technique. The flurry of snow this technique released was also a good counter to the raging flames his opponent was using.

n

nBOOM!!

n

nThe snow and the flames clashed with each other.

n

nThe flurry of snow and ice flew through the air. A flaming claw was already raking through the air. Cold, snowy light enveloped the flames, but it couldn’t completely smother them. The flames, which had been greatly compressed, carried with it a frightening amount of momentum as it cleaved through its frosty environment. It still landed on Wang Doushan’s chest after losing about half of its momentum.

n

nBang!

n

nFlaming light scattered everywhere.

n

nAmidst the explosion, Wang Doushan flew through the air. Upon closer inspection, half of his body had been raked through by the claw, exposing his internal organs.

n

nWhat a frightening claw strike!

n

n“AHH!”

n

nSimultaneously, Ferraro let out a tragic cry.

n

nEven as he had gravely injured Wang Doushan, his entire left arm had suddenly disintegrated.

n

nSnow Thread.

n

nApart from Snow Earthquake Explosion, Wang Doushan had also used Snow Thread. However, he hadn’t used his weapon to defend but to counterattack.

n

nAfter Ferraro’s attack landed, his technique had finished, and his energy output had decreased. This was when he was the weakest, so Snow Thread had instantly fragmented his arm.

n

n“AH, YOU BASTARD!” Ferraro howled with rage.

n

nHe didn’t have a technique like Wang Doushan’s that helped him convert his fat into lifeforce to recover.

n

nIf his arm was gone, it would be gone forever.

n

nWhen he thought about the price that he had paid to kill just a single human, Ferraro was about to explode from anger.

n

nDanba sighed, “Indeed, that human was quite powerful. Even though we won this duel, you have ruined a Temple Warrior. You’ve achieved your goal.”

n

nSu Chen smiled slightly. “Do you think that you won?”

n

n“He’s already dead; have we not won yet?” Danba countered.

n

n“I said already that Wang Doushan’s Devouring The Heavens technique converts his fat into lifeforce. As long as he hasn’t become a piece of human jerky yet, why do you say that he’s already dead?”

n

nDanba’s expression shifted. “That’s not possible.”

n

n“That’s not possible!” Ferraro yelled simultaneously.

n

nHe didn’t dare believe his own eyes.

n

nOff in the distance, Wang Doushan was getting back on his feet.

n

nFerraro’s claw strike had sliced away half of his body, but those missing parts were now growing again at a speed that was almost inconceivable.

n

nIt wasn’t until now that Ferraro finally realized that Wang Doushan had gotten much skinnier.

n

nHe was originally extremely fat, but he had lost most of it by now.

n

n“Your fat helps you recover from your injuries?” Ferraro said incredulously.

n

n“You just discovered that?” Wang Doushan shook his head in disappointment. “I thought you discovered it a long time ago. The Ferocious Race truly lacks battle intelligence.”

n

nEarlier, when he was battling with Ferraro, Wang Doushan had constantly been expending his fat stores. However, because he was consuming them at a steady rate and Ferraro had only been concentrating on the battle, Ferraro hadn’t noticed Wang Doushan’s body shape at all. It wasn’t until now, when he had almost killed Wang Doushan, forcing Wang Doushan to consume a large amount of his fat stores, that Ferraro finally realized what was happening.

n

nOne had to confess that the Ferocious Race truly didn’t use their brains much. When they fought, they never considered things rationally; rather, they used their innate physiques to obtain victory.

n

nA harsh expression appeared on Ferraro’s face.

n

nThe fierce and bitter exchanges had only forced his opponent to consume most of his fat?

n

nOn the other hand, his wounds weren’t light, and he had expended a lot of energy.

n

nIn other words, if they were to continue fighting, he wouldn’t have much of a chance of winning.

n

nWhen he thought of this, Ferraro felt his heart sink.

n

nWang Doushan had completely recovered by the time he finished talking.

n

nHe cracked his neck, then inspected himself. “I’m finally skinny again…… it’s been so long…… since I felt so unrestrained.”

n

nHis clothes were already completely torn to pieces. The only item of clothing that partially remained was his shoes, but they no longer fit his feet.

n

nWang Doushan just tossed them to the side as well. He expended some Origin Energy to form a pair of pants, covering up his vitals before saying, “Then, shall we continue?”

n

nEven though he posed it as a question, he charged at Ferraro before even completing his sentence.

n

nAfter losing more of his fat, Wang Doushan’s speed increased even more.

n

nThe Snow Crane on display now was the true Snow Crane. Wang Doushan seized the initiative quickly; his fists flew out, once again leaving numerous afterimages in their wake.

n

nAfter losing most of his physical power, his advantage in speed was becoming more and more evident.

n

nDetermination flashed across Ferraro’s eyes when he saw Wang Doushan charging at him.

n

nHe howled, “The Ferocious Race won’t lose!”

n

n“Even in death…… we won’t lose!”

n

n“AHHH!”

n

n

nHis aura began to soar in that moment, and a towering killing intent emanated from him.

n

nThen, he attacked. He was just as fast as Wang Doushan, and the two crashed into each other. Flames once again erupted, engulfing the surroundings. Ferraro’s fists boomed forth like thunder, every punch filled with powerful momentum, as if he had never been injured in the first place.

n

nUpon seeing this scene, He Yuandong was stunned. “How could this be? How does he still have such powerful combat ability?”

n

nSu Chen said, “It should be some forbidden technique that can’t be used carelessly.”

n

n“How do you know?” He Yuandong paused.

n

nSu Chen nodded in Danba’s direction. “Look at his face.”

n

nHe Yuandong glanced over and found that Danba’s expression was heavy, a sorrowful expression in his eyes.

n

nHe Yuandong understood.

n

nIndeed, Danba sighed and said, “Since you seem to know already, there’s no point in keeping it hidden from you. Yes, Ferraro has used a forbidden technique. This technique will extract all of the lifeforce within his body, allowing him to ignore any pain while he battles. Thus, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will die here today.”

n

nTo win, Ferraro was willing to give everything. No matter what, the reputation of the Temple Warriors must not be sullied because of him.

n

nHumans weren’t worthy opponents of the Ferocious Race.

n

nHumans always relied on underhanded tricks to win, not on their own strength!

n

nAs Ferraro thought this, the fury in his heart reached a tipping point.

n

nThe wild, barbaric punches slammed into Wang Doushan, sending him flying again.

n

nWithout the thick layer of fat, Wang Doushan’s speed had shot up; however, his physical power had greatly decreased. He was roughly equivalent in strength to a member of a Bloodline Nobility Clan right now.

n

n“DIE!”

n

nWith a barbaric howl, Ferraro unleashed a countless number of punches.

n

nThe two of them clashed again. The web of flying fists that Wang Doushan’s Thousand Feather Hands had formed was forcibly ripped apart. The powerful blows rained onto Wang Doushan, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. Once again, his body was covered in blood.

n

nAn instant later, large quantities of fat were converted to lifeforce again, and Wang Doushan rapidly recovered.

n

nHowever, at this point, he was already about as large as a normal person.

n

nIf Wang Doushan had around six lives at the beginning, this number had been steadily reduced by Ferraro to around two.

n

nThe strength of a Temple Warrior was immediately evident.

n

nEven so, Ferraro continued his furious onslaught. Now that his life was near its end, he focused all of his energy on killing Wang Doushan.

n

nWang Doushan was in dire straits.

n

nBang!

n

nAnother palm sent Wang Doushan flying.

n

nWang Doushan crashed onto the ground and tumbled, but Ferraro surprisingly didn’t pursue any further.

n

nHis face was deathly pale.

n

nIt was immediately obvious that he had expended a great amount of energy to unleash this flurry of attacks.

n

nAfter consuming some more of his fat, Wang Doushan had completely recovered again. The amount of fat he had remaining was only enough to recover half a life’s worth.

n

nWang Doushan helplessly shook his head. “Temple Warriors truly are powerful. However, it’s not like I don’t have any trump cards.”

n

nAs he spoke, he pulled out a vial of medicine and gulped it down.

n

nUpon seeing him tilt his head back, Ferraro seized the opportunity and charged forward, his iron-like fists screaming through the air.

n

nWang Doushan finished the medicine. He didn’t even have time to toss the empty vial away before Ferraro’s fist was already right in front of him.

n

nThis blow seemed like it was about to burst Wang Doushan’s head.

n

nWang Doushan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Ferraro’s wrist.

n

nFerraro discovered to his great surprise that his punch had been stopped in its tracks.

n

nNot only that, but Wang Doushan was able to force him back. A frightening aura began to surge from Wang Doushan, who stared at Ferraro before saying darkly, “Let’s see who’s stronger now.”

n

nHe grabbed Ferraro’s arm, lifted him into the air, and then slammed him into the ground.

n

nBoom!

n

nThe massive impact left behind a large crater in the ground.

n

nFerraro felt like his flesh was about to fall off of his bones, but he was still quite tenacious. He pushed off the ground with one hand and flew into the air, his feet kicking out at Wang Doushan.

n

nWang Doushan activated his Thousand Feather Hands again, slamming Ferraro back onto the ground again.

n

nIf it were before, Ferraro would have many ways to deal with Wang Doushan by relying just on his pure physical strength.

n

nBut this battle had been going on for some time. At this point, Ferraro was on the last dregs of his energy.

n

nHe could only watch as Wang Doushan threw him into the ground again and again as if he were just a sandbag.

n

nPicked up and slammed into the ground, over and over.

n

nThis was no longer a battle; this was humiliation. He was being abused to death!

n

n“NO!” Ferraro howled crazily.

n

n“No, your mother!” Wang Doushan replied loudly. He grabbed Ferraro’s body and tossed him into the air. He then leapt into the air and pummeled Ferraro with his fists.

n

nBang, bang, bang!

n

nAfter a number of heavy impacts, Ferraro arced through the air like a shooting star before landing hard on the ground.

n

nThis time, he didn’t get back up.

n

n
