In that instant—
Boom!
Choi Ji-mun had absolutely no defense.
He never imagined that Zhao Xuan could instantly recover from the backlash of an extreme forbidden technique.
By the time realization struck—
Zhao Xuan's fist was already less than half a meter away.
"Damn it!!!!"
His expression changed violently.
The very next moment—
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Terrifying Conqueror's Aura erupted from Zhao Xuan's body.
In the blink of an eye, it completely engulfed Choi Ji-mun.
This time—
Zhao Xuan had no intention of holding back.
To completely erase this sinister, scheming rat—
To leave no future trouble behind—
Zhao Xuan unleashed everything.
The instant Choi Ji-mun was stunned by the overwhelming aura—
BOOM!
Zhao Xuan's fist slammed brutally into his chest.
PUFF!
Bright red blood sprayed across the ground.
"So he really isn't simple."
A sharp glint flashed through Zhao Xuan's eyes, his killing intent surging.
Why?
Because—
Even after taking a full-power punch—
A punch thrown while Zhao Xuan was in One-Second True Man Mode—
Choi Ji-mun had merely spat out a mouthful of blood.
One had to understand—
Zhao Xuan wasn't just in One-Second True Man Mode.
He was also in Dragon-Man Form.
All his attributes were multiplied tenfold.
His physique had reached forty thousand points.
What did that mean?
Combined—
Even an Eighth-Rank powerhouse, if caught off guard and struck by Zhao Xuan's punch, would suffer badly.
Yet Choi Ji-mun only vomited blood.
"Kill him. I must kill him. This man is dangerous. He cannot be left alive."
The thought barely formed—
Huff!
Zhao Xuan took a sharp breath.
Then—
BOOM!
A steel fist wrapped in Armament Aura and raging lightning smashed forward again.
BOOM!!!!
The punch was lightning-fast.
In a blink, it struck Choi Ji-mun's chest once more.
Thud!
A deep, muffled impact echoed.
PUFF!
Blood burst from Choi Ji-mun's mouth again.
He was sent flying by the terrifying force—
And Zhao Xuan followed relentlessly.
BOOM!
Another punch ripped through the air—
And smashed into his chest again.
An ordinary Seventh-Rank would have had their ribs shattered after taking three such blows.
But Choi Ji-mun—
Was clearly no ordinary Seventh-Rank.
Though he looked miserable, vomiting blood three times—
His chest still held firm.
At that moment—
One-Second True Man Mode ended.
Zhao Xuan weakened again.
Then—
BOOM!!!!
Choi Ji-mun was flung through the air, tracing a brutal arc before crashing into the wall of an ancient residence dozens of meters away.
Crash—!
The wall shook violently.
The instant he hit the ground—
Whoosh!
Choi Ji-mun staggered up.
He had clearly swallowed something.
His previously weakened state recovered noticeably.
Without even glancing at Zhao Xuan—
He turned and fled.
"Damn it!!!!!!!!"
Zhao Xuan saw it clearly.
Life Stones.
Choi Ji-mun had swallowed two Life Stones.
"Stealing my loot. Eating my loot. And you still think you can run?"
"Die. Die. Die. Die. Die."
Zhao Xuan now had yet another reason to kill him.
"He must die. And he must die fast."
"Too slow. Too slow. Too slow!"
Feeling the life energy slowly seeping out from his bones, Zhao Xuan frowned as he watched Choi Ji-mun pulling away.
"He can't be allowed to escape."
"He knows I have a complete divine medicine."
"If he runs into others in the ruins—if he leaks this information…"
Zhao Xuan's eyes turned ice-cold.
Killing intent exploded.
He pulled out the divine medicinal stone bamboo shoot again—
And took a savage bite.
Instantly—
Vast torrents of life energy erupted from his abdomen.
Almost instantly—
The weakness caused by the forbidden technique vanished.
The next second—
Zhao Xuan activated One-Second Technique again.
Once more, he became a True Man.
Boom! Boom!
He kicked off the ground—
Like an arrow released from the bow.
Vanishing instantly as he chased after Choi Ji-mun.
That small piece of divine medicine he consumed—
Was worth five to six billion.
As a result—
Life energy flooded his body continuously.
Because of this—
Zhao Xuan could chain One-Second Technique repeatedly.
One second.
One second.
One second.
One second.
One second.
Five seconds.
This time—
Zhao Xuan endured for a full five seconds.
Five seconds later—
He closed in behind Choi Ji-mun, killing intent boiling.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Seeing Zhao Xuan rapidly approaching, Choi Ji-mun's face twisted in panic.
Unable to escape—
He inhaled sharply—
And activated his forbidden technique again.
His hair, already one-third white, turned another third pale.
He aged another decade instantly.
Then—
He began hurling molten fireballs backward in madness.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhao Xuan's expression didn't change.
He smashed each fireball apart with brute punches.
Magma was extinguished by raw force.
His speed never slowed.
He continued closing in.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Choi Ji-mun's terror intensified.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
Ten meters.
The next second—
Zhao Xuan caught him.
BOOM!!!!
A punch slammed into his back.
PUFF!
Choi Ji-mun was launched forward violently.
Yet like an unkillable cockroach—
He scrambled up after landing and continued fleeing.
"This defense. This endurance—terrifying."
And because of that—
Zhao Xuan's killing intent only deepened.
A cautious, enduring enemy—
If not eliminated immediately—
Would bring endless disaster.
"Today, no one can save you."
"Run? Where can you run?"
Zhao Xuan's gaze was frigid as he pursued again.
Thanks to that five-billion bite—
He maintained One-Second True Man Mode continuously.
Choi Ji-mun was fast—
Nearly matching Zhao Xuan's Dragon-Man speed—
But compared to True Man Mode—
Still inferior.
Two seconds later—
Zhao Xuan caught up again.
BOOM!
THUD!
PUFF!
A lightning-wrapped iron fist smashed forward.
Choi Ji-mun vomited blood again and was sent flying.
He rolled seven or eight times—
Then staggered up and ran again.
"Hmph."
Zhao Xuan chased relentlessly.
They fled and pursued—
Again and again.
A few seconds later—
Three figures appeared ahead on the street.
Hope exploded across Choi Ji-mun's face.
But before he could rejoice—
BOOM!!!!
Zhao Xuan caught him for the seventh time.
"AAARGH!!!"
This time—
Choi Ji-mun finally broke.
He screamed as he was hurled forward—
Crashing into the ground dozens of meters away.
BOOM!!!
The earth trembled.
The black stone street shattered into a massive crater.
Dust billowed.
Step. Step.
Zhao Xuan appeared before him.
He raised his left foot.
At that moment—
Choi Ji-mun screamed hysterically:
"Zhao Xuan! Don't push me! If you do, I'll expose your treasure—AAAAAH!"
Before he could finish—
Zhao Xuan stomped down.
BOOM!
Choi Ji-mun sank several centimeters into the ground.
"AAAAAH!!!"
The three figures arrived.
They were clearly Three-Arab Alliance cultivators.
Zhao Xuan ignored them completely.
Didn't even glance their way.
He lifted his foot again—
And Choi Ji-mun screamed in madness:
"Divine medicine! Zhao Xuan has a complete divine medicine! A complete divine—AAAAAAH!"
The stomp came down again.
Then a third.
A fourth.
A fifth.
Seven stomps later—
Crack crack crack!
His ribs finally shattered.
The eighth stomp—
Crushed his exposed heart.
Even then—
Zhao Xuan kept stomping.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Only when the system notification sounded—
Did he stop.
Zhao Xuan finally lifted his gaze—
Locking onto the three Arab cultivators.
Five hundred billion.
That was the value of a complete divine medicine.
Plus the one-hundred-billion bounty.
Six hundred billion.
But the image of Zhao Xuan stomping a man to death replayed endlessly in their minds.
Dragon-Man Form.
True Man Mode.
Though only Sixth-Rank—
His aura screamed death.
"Z-Zhao Xuan… we were just passing by. We didn't know him. We don't want to get involved."
The leader suppressed his greed and turned to leave.
But—
Zhao Xuan would never allow it.
Greed had already shown in their eyes.
A divine medicine was enough to drive Seventh- and Eighth-Ranks insane.
If released—
They would return with reinforcements.
The best way to keep a secret was—
To kill everyone who knew it.
BOOM! BOOM!
Zhao Xuan charged.
"Kill!"
The three reacted instantly—
But against Zhao Xuan in True Man Mode—
They were too slow.
Too slow to even respond.
Conqueror's Aura erupted.
The leader froze for 0.1 seconds.
That was enough.
BOOM!!!!
The punch tore through the air.
Arms shattered.
Second punch.
Face collapsed.
Third punch.
Pop.
His head exploded.
Less than two seconds.
Only then did the other two strike.
Zhao Xuan staggered back—
But life energy surged.
Healing him instantly.
Greed returned—
Until his aura stabilized.
Their fear returned.
Too late.
Eradicate the roots.
