“Almost there…” Qiao Jiajin looked at his thigh and said, “Big Guy… I might have to trouble you a bit more next…”

“Huh? Next…?”

“Ah… I’m really troubling you too much.” Qiao Jiajin said with an apologetic expression. “Making you put in so much effort—if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll treat you to drinks.”

“Wait a minute…”

Before Zhang Shan could understand what Qiao Jiajin meant, Qiao Jiajin had already used his only intact right leg to stomp the ground fiercely and leap forward.

The enormous stomping sound seemed to make the entire room shake along with it.

Qiao Jiajin switched his legs in midair, changing his attack strategy.

What kind of martial technique in this world could be launched with just one leg?

He used his intact right leg as a point of force, swinging his completely carbonized left leg viciously toward Qinglong.

Neither Qinglong nor Zhang Shan seemed to have anticipated this strange offensive, yet this happened to be an attack that could maximize the destructive power.

Snap!!

A strange crisp sound exploded in the room. In an instant, carbon powder flew everywhere and black smoke filled the air.

Qiao Jiajin’s left leg shattered completely upon impact with Qinglong’s body, breaking apart and disappearing entirely from the root of his thigh, like a piece of charcoal that shattered after impact.

Crackling fragments began to fall one after another onto the blood water on the ground, creating a rain of debris.

At this moment, Qinglong’s body began to show large-scale fracturing. A piece of his right shoulder and waist disappeared, with countless fragments flying in all directions, even splashing onto Zhang Shan’s face.

He hurriedly mobilized his “Conviction,” trying to find a way to reforge his entire left leg at this moment.

Where Qinglong’s body was damaged, newly regenerated flesh rapidly began to grow, far exceeding the growth rate of Qiao Jiajin’s left leg.

After landing on one foot from midair, Qiao Jiajin worked hard to stabilize his form, then suddenly threw a fierce punch toward Qinglong’s still-carbonized face.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out in the room. Qinglong’s neck tilted to one side, and his entire jaw was shattered by this punch and flew out. Qiao Jiajin’s fist was also cut with bloody marks by the hard fragments.

“Big Guy, don’t worry about the wounds, worry about the leg first!”

Zhang Shan nodded while covering his fist and hurriedly recovered his left leg.

Qiao Jiajin stood on one foot, taking the opportunity to throw both fists, madly striking the carbonized parts all over Qinglong’s body like bullets.

Would there ever be such a good opportunity again? A person even stronger than the “Terminator” standing in place letting you beat him madly…

Qiao Jiajin knew he wouldn’t have much time, so he increased the force of his fists.

Various fragments began to fly wildly. Qinglong’s body gradually became fragmented under Qiao Jiajin’s storm-like fists.

His only movable eye gradually became filled with rage at this moment, but the important joints throughout his body were still in a carbonized state. He couldn’t even raise his hand to block.

With just over ten punches, Qiao Jiajin had completely “dismantled” the carbonized parts of Qinglong’s upper body, leaving only a portion of already-recovered flesh and blood. Those pieces of flesh were connected by some red meridians and couldn’t be further dismantled, so he could only strike toward Qinglong’s legs.

Under the influence of “Heaven’s Vigorous Movement,” he felt like he had become a tireless woodpecker. Both his hands had been cut into a bloody mess by the hard fragments, but his fists never stopped.

After dismantling the lower body, Qinglong’s upper body had almost completely recovered.

Qiao Jiajin could only dismantle the upper body after finishing the lower body, then dismantle the lower body after finishing the upper body. Countless fists came and went, with black fragments flying everywhere.

Qinglong discovered that the flesh he needed to recover seemed to be increasing more and more. The workload was like being continuously struck by “Shocking Thunder” dozens of times.

After a few seconds, the recovery speed of his “Heaven’s Vigorous Movement” visibly slowed down, buying a large amount of time for the two men’s recovery.

Qiao Jiajin used his strengthened iron fists to strike continuously for a full two minutes. But after all, he only had one leg on the ground and couldn’t unify his waist and stance to exert one hundred percent of his strength. He could only suppress through the number of attacks.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Jiajin suddenly felt that his left leg had already reached the ground.

Zhang Shan had already recovered completely at this moment. He stood up from the ground, moved his hands and feet, and after confirming there were no other problems with his body, he hurriedly charged toward Qinglong.

He knew Qiao Jiajin had used his own body to buy enough time. Now they needed to knock down Qinglong immediately.

Qiao Jiajin also took this opportunity to plant both feet on the ground, slightly crouching in a horse stance. After assuming his posture, he used all the strength in his body to fiercely thrust a punch toward Qinglong’s chest.

At the same moment, Zhang Shan flew into the air, his extremely thick thigh executing a flying knee, striking toward Qinglong’s back.

Snap!!

The enormous sound rang out again. Qiao Jiajin’s fist was actually caught firmly by Qinglong’s outstretched hand.

Although his body was fragmented, his limbs had recovered movement, and both his eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins.

It seemed that Qinglong’s recovery speed had slowed just now because he had independently recovered his arm.

Before Qiao Jiajin could speak, Qinglong instantly turned around and violently swung his hand toward the rear, striking Zhang Shan’s knee with one punch and sending Zhang Shan flying. Qiao Jiajin also felt a swelling pain in his knee at this moment.

“Have I been too lenient with you…” Qinglong twisted his broken body, his voice ice-cold as he said, “You actually dare to occupy so much of my ‘Conviction’… Even Xuanwu didn’t dare injure me this badly.”

“Is that so?” Qiao Jiajin gave a bitter laugh. “Maybe our courage is indeed a bit greater.”

He discovered that Qinglong’s condition seemed to be quite different from before. This difference didn’t come from his physical body, but rather from his mental state.

Using recovery to maintain his body for a long time had inevitably caused him significant mental impact.

“Since you don’t want to kill Heavenly-Dragon, then you can die yourselves.”

The flesh and blood on Qinglong’s body took the opportunity to spread rapidly. He twisted his neck strangely, trying to restore his body to optimal condition, but a portion of the flesh on his body seemed unable to recover and actually bore traces of injury.

His forehead, arms, and chest actually had wounds. These minor injuries gave Qiao Jiajin his first glimpse of hope after fighting for so long. If a person could be injured, then he could die.

He didn’t have time to think further. He extended his other hand to clench his fist, mustering all his strength to fly toward Qinglong’s cheek.

“Little Green, taste this!”

“Still struggling…” Just as Qinglong was about to use “Soul-Snatching” to control Qiao Jiajin, that strange voice drifted through his mind once again.

“Wait for me…”

This voice seemed like a sharp blade that would stab at him every time he tried to use “Soul-Snatching.”

Before he could figure out who the owner of this voice was, his cheek took Qiao Jiajin’s punch squarely.

The power of this punch was truly too enormous. When it struck his jaw, his entire body lost all sensation as if electrocuted, making him feel like his soul had been knocked out of his body.

Qinglong’s broken body began to spin horizontally in the air, like a whipped top. Then, under the force of the impact, he flew far away, rolling more than ten times on the ground before slowly stopping, coming to rest right at the base of the steps.
