<h4>Chapter 1601: Chapter 1598: Outrageous Bullying</h4>


    A powerful killing intent rushed in like a raging ice tide from behind, making Xu Wendong shiver involuntarily.


    The sensation was akin to being stalked by a beast from the depths of primordial chaos, the cold breath of death tightly entwining him, causing every nerve in his body to instantly tense up.


    He suddenly turned his head, only to see a man dressed in a ck brocade robe swaggering toward them.


    The man was tall and formidable, resembling a moving mountain, with each step carrying an imposing momentum akin to Mount Tai.


    Despite being enveloped by the brocade robe, his muscr physique was still clearly visible, each muscle seemingly containing explosive power capable of destroying everything, as if even the slightest movement could trigger an earth-shattering copse.


    His face appeared to be meticulously sculpted by a Divine Craftsman using the sharpest tools, with firm lines, as if carved by knife and axe, each contour projecting a resilient and indomitable aura.


    His deep eyes gleamed with a bone-chilling cold light, like two extremely sharp icy des piercing directly at Xu Wendong, as if set to uncover and dissect his very soul.


    "Xue Cheng, show some respect!" The Blood Princess slightly frowned, her red lips gently parted, her voice carrying a clear sense of displeasure, ringing like a crisp silver bell in the air, yet imbued with undeniable authority.


    Xue Cheng remained oblivious, his gaze firmly locked onto Xu Wendong, an angry fire burning in his eyes, his mouth coldly uttering words as sharp as ice des: "Those who confuse the Princess, die!"


    Before the echo of his voice even faded, Xue Cheng’s figure shed like a specter, his speed so fast it left only a vague shadow.


    In the blink of an eye, he was upon Xu Wendong, as if by teleportation.


    He suddenly swung a punch, a blow infused with earth-shattering spiritual power, the punch’s wind howling as it sliced through the air, faintly carrying a deafening sonic boom, like a violent whirlwind madly crashing toward Xu Wendong’s face.


    Wherever the punch’s wind passed, space seemed to warp, forming visible ripples to the naked eye.


    Xu Wendong was shocked, he truly didn’t expect Xue Cheng to act so decisively, attacking without hesitation.


    Fortunately, he reacted as swiftly as lightning, promptly sidestepping to evade in the nick of time.


    Xue Cheng’s extremely fierce punch whizzed past his cheek, the force of the punch like an exceedingly sharp knife fiercely grazing his skin, instantly causing a burning pain so intense it felt like his skin was being shed open.


    "So strong!"


    Xu Wendong’s heart surged with turbulent waves, unable to calm down for quite a while.


    Bear in mind, his physical body’s resilience was frighteningly strong, toughened by multiple fortuitous encounters and cultivation, as tough as Divine Iron.


    Yet at this moment, he clearly felt this piercing pain, a testament to how terrifyingly powerful Xue Cheng’s seemingly casual strike was, utterly beyond imagination.


    Xue Cheng wasn’t done yet, seeing his punch miss, he didn’t pause at all, immediately sweeping out his right foot like a War Axe.


    This kick was extremely fierce,den with a momentum that could move mountains and incite seas, like a towering wave crashing straight at Xu Wendong’s waist.


    The immense force seemed able to slice a mountain peak in half, the surrounding air pressed by the kick’s power, issuing wailing sounds.


    Xu Wendong suddenly pushed hard against the ground with both feet, his entire body darting backward like an arrowunched from a bowstring, narrowly dodging this incredibly fierce kick.


    At this moment, he secretlymented in his heart.


    He had no intention of being an enemy of the Blood n, especially against such a formidable adversary as Xue Cheng. Deep down, he wished to avoid direct confrontation, hoping to resolve the sudden crisis.


    Without time to think further, Xu Wendong hurriedly exined: "Senior, I bear no malice, simply chatting with the Princess."


    "I merely mentioned that if circumstances allow, I’d like to show the Princess the outside world, no intention to confuse whatsoever!"


    His voice was sincere and urgent, his eyes full of earnestness, hoping to dispel Xue Cheng’s hostility.


    However, Xue Cheng was unimpressed, he snorted coldly, the disdain and suspicion in his eyes growing more intense: "Don’t try to deceive, how can we trust the sweet words of outsiders?"


    "You people are always deceitful, who knows what you’re plotting!" His words, like icy frost, ruthlessly dismissed Xu Wendong’s exnation.


    As he spoke, Xue Cheng’s hands quickly formed hand seals like shadows, muttering incantations.


    In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, the temperature plummeting, an overwhelmingly suffocating Blood n spiritual power began frantically converging around him.


    He suddenly thrust both hands forward, a surge of blood-red spiritual energy crashing toward Xu Wendong like a tumultuous tsunami.


    Where this energy wave passed, the hard stone bs on the ground shattered like fragile tofu, debris flying, raising a dust storm that blotted out the sky, the whole stone courtyard shuddering violently under the power’s impact.


    "This is going too far!"


    Xu Wendong burnt with rage, realizing at that moment the battle was unavoidable.


    His gaze sharpened, a determined glint shing in his eyes, swiftly mobilizing the Immortal Energy within him.


    In an instant, a radiant shield of Immortal Energy rapidly formed around him, enveloping himpletely.


    This shield emitted a gentle yet indestructible glow, akin to an impervious armor.


    Xue Cheng’s unleashed energy collided against the shield like a ferocious Primordial Behemoth, immediately triggering a deafening and intense roaring sound.


    The sound was like the cosmic roar at the creation of heaven and earth, echoing above the stone courtyard.


    The aftermath of the spiritual power collision surged outward like a raging storm, the flowers and grass within the stone courtyard bending under the tremendous force.


    Xu Wendong felt a colossal impact like a tidal wave from the shield.


    The force surged at his body wave after wave like a flood, shaking his internal organs as if repeatedly hammered.


    Yet he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, endured the excruciating pain, desperately maintaining his stance, the veins on his forehead bulging, illustrating the immense pressure he was enduring.


    "You can actually withstand my attack?" Xue Cheng’s furious gaze revealed a look of disbelief, for he was an Immortal King level powerhouse, not to be underestimated.


    While Xu Wendong was merely a True Immortal Realm ant, he never imagined even in his wildest dreams that such an insignificant ant could withstand his enraged strike.


    The Blood Princess nced at Xu Wendong, her eyes also shing with a trace of astonishment, seemingly surprised by his formidable strength.


    Thinking of this, a subtle, intriguing smile appeared at her lips, transmitting words through her soul to Xue Cheng: "Test this guy’s strength further!"
