Chapter 419: Doesn't Taste Good

This Dao ancestor hall was originally built with the purpose of deceiving the masses. Daoist Sage Tianyi harbored no respect for the so-called Dao ancestor.

He held no affection for most martial artists in the world either, not even for the Great Liang Emperor, who possessed unparalleled martial prowess, or for the current Great Liang Dynasty.

For years, he had been searching for a comrade of the same Dao, but had yet to find one. Seeing Chen Chao now, he felt a glimmer of hope ignited within him. However, the young martial artist showed no interest, leaving Daoist Sage Tianyi incomparably disappointed.

Reaching out, he picked up a fragment of the Dao ancestor statue. Slowly raising his head to look at the young martial artist before him, he chuckled, "Quite capable, very good."

Chen Chao who stood at the doorway simply asked, "How many punches do you think you can still withstand from me?"

"It's said that the fist fears the young. Though you are young, I am not old yet."

Daoist Sage Tianyi cracked his neck, smiling as he lamented, "But when I was your age, I wasn't as good as you. However, with such potential, why are you so conservative? Damn."

Chen Chao remained silent and just smiled.

Suddenly, Daoist Sage Tianyi asked, "What do you think of the Dao ancestor behind me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chao lifted his head to look. The Dao ancestor statue, previously shattered by Daoist Sage Tianyi's impact, was now in ruins, with its body severely damaged. Only the head remained relatively intact. Chen Chao glanced at it and shrugged, "Nothing special."

Daoist Sage Tianyi burst into laughter, "Do you know, Daoist cultivators around the world bow reverently when they see this Dao ancestor statue?"

Chen Chao was taken aback, then immediately said, "So, according to you, if you were to establish a new path, you would be treated the same way?"

Daoist Sage Tianyi sighed, "It's a pity you won't see it. If you follow me, you will surely have a place by my side."

"Indeed a pity. I can't smell the incense or taste the cold pig's head meat."

Before Chen Chao's voice faded, he pounced towards Daoist Sage Tianyi again, initiating another bout of fierce battle within the hall.

This time, Chen Chao's heavy fist struck directly at Daoist Sage Tianyi's face. Daoist Sage Tianyi extended one hand to block while the other hand formed a fist aimed at Chen Chao's head. Chen Chao tilted his head slightly, dodging the punch, and simultaneously kicked toward Daoist Sage Tianyi's chest.

As Daoist Sage Tianyi withdrew his fist, it landed heavily on Chen Chao's shoe sole. However, instead of being knocked backward by the punch, Chen Chao used the momentum to propel himself into the air. With a strange arc, he reversed his trajectory and reappeared above Daoist Sage Tianyi's head.

Then, he stomped his foot heavily.

Daoist Sage Tianyi crossed his arms in front of him to block the attack, but he was still pressed down to one knee under the force.

A crack immediately appeared on the ground.

This time, it was an eye for an eye.

Previously, it was Chen Chao who was half-kneeling, and now it was Daoist Sage Tianyi half-kneeling.

With this, seemed like changing positions from offensive to defensive.

However, Daoist Sage Tianyi remained unfazed. After being pressed down, he actually chose to take the initiative to retract his hands. Using his shoulders to bear Chen Chao's kick, he then grabbed Chen Chao's ankle with both hands and forcefully swung in a large circle, flinging Chen Chao into the nearby Dao ancestor statue. The already dismal Dao ancestor statue was completely smashed, with its head rolling off and shattering into pieces upon hitting the ground.

After shattering this Dao ancestor statue, Chen Chao also inadvertently demolished several pillars. As a result, half of the Dao ancestor hall collapsed in an instant.

Countless beams and debris fell, causing dust to billow up.

Slowly turning around, Daoist Sage Tianyi looked at the ruins. However, the dust was too thick at this moment, making it difficult for even him to see clearly.

Daoist Sage Tianyi's expression darkened, but he was unwilling to turn around. Instead, he dashed forward, ignoring the pouring rain.

However, he had not gone far when the young martial artist inexplicably appeared in front of him.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the young martial artist stared at Daoist Sage Tianyi and said softly, "It's my turn now."

At this moment, Daoist Sage Tianyi felt not only fear but also incredulity. Despite his continuous powerful punches earlier, he could not understand why he failed to stop this young martial artist from successfully breaking through in front of him.

This was fundamentally why he felt that he should not continue fighting to the death with this young martial artist. This young martial artist seemed to have too many secrets, which could not be understood by common sense.

Daoist Sage Tianyi said in a deep voice, "Even so, with both of us at the same realm, do you really think you can kill me?"

Chen Chao responded with just three words: "I can try."

Then the two of them clashed again in the heavy rain. But compared to before, Chen Chao's attacks this time were much more ferocious, and Daoist Sage Tianyi soon found it difficult to defend himself.

Chen Chao quickly grabbed Daoist Sage Tianyi's arm and forcefully twisted it, directly breaking his arm. At the same time, he threw a punch, striking the chest of the Great Beyond Realm martial artist.

Daoist Sage Tianyi attempted to throw a punch with all his might, but was simultaneously struck by Chen Chao's punch. This time, their fists collided, and Daoist Sage Tianyi's fingers instantly fractured, his entire hand falling limp.

Chen Chao grabbed Daoist Sage Tianyi by the neck, raining punch after punch onto his chest.

Soon, Daoist Sage Tianyi's chest became a blur of flesh and blood.

Daoist Sage Tianyi vomited blood non-stop, but was helpless to stop the attacks of this young martial artist before him.

Several minutes later, he was already on his dying gasp.

His eyes were soaked in blood, barely able to stay open.

Chen Chao continued to rain down punches expressionlessly, intent on fulfilling his promise to beat Daoist Sage Tianyi to death punch by punch.

Daoist Sage Tianyi could no longer speak. He was not far from death anymore.

Chen Chao showed no signs of stopping. In the rain, it seemed as though the little girl holding a sugar figurine had appeared again before him.

She was smiling at him.

Chen Chao closed his eyes in pain but continued to throw punches.

However, after a moment, he opened both eyes again. His eyes were still clear and unaffected by heart demons.

It was unknown how much time had passed. The heavy rain persisted, but Daoist Sage Tianyi was on the brink of death.

His entire body was shattered, bones crushed, and flesh no longer able to support him, currently enduring immense agony.

Chen Chao stopped punching, released his grip, and let Daoist Sage Tianyi fall.

He then lowered his head to look at Daoist Sage Tianyi. After a moment of silence, he said, "Forgot to tell you, I've also eaten humans before."

After a moment, he shook his head again and said, "They don't taste good."

Daoist Sage Tianyi did not hear this sentence, the pouring rain also obscured this sentence.

Only Chen Chao could hear it.
