Chapter 191: Breaker of Laws

Xiao Nian couldn't react in time and hurriedly covered his ears and closed his eyes.

The next instant, a sound even more powerful than before echoed out, making the withered trees around the square tremble slightly.

Xu Liunian kept his eyes tightly shut, feeling dizzy. Even though the sound was starting to fade, the dizziness lingered.

Chu Tianqiu didn't hesitate and slowly stood up, staring with wide eyes.

"What the hell is this...?"He walked forward step by step, fixing his gaze on the words on the screen. "I have to find this person..."

Xu Liunian lifted his head in confusion and noticed a new line of glowing words had appeared on the screen.

"I heard the echo of 'Po Wan Fa'!"

Chu Tianqiu approached the screen step by step, muttering continuously, "Po Wan Fa... wonderful... absolutely wonderful... With this person's ability, I could... But who exactly are you?"

Xiao Nian, standing nearby, sensed an indescribable feeling from Chu Tianqiu.

He seemed a bit terrifying.

...

A gentle breeze blew across the rooftop.

Zhang Shan's body made cracking sounds as he pushed up with both hands, rising despite the massive stone on him.

The several-hundred-pound stone slid off him as easily as a blanket being thrown off in the morning, falling into the void below.

The boulder broke part of the hemp rope and crashed into the depths, producing an enormous noise.

Qiao Ji Jin's body shuddered slightly, and the stones on him scattered like dandelion seeds, turning into countless shimmering points of light carried away by the wind.

The two men stood up simultaneously, shoulder to shoulder.

They exuded an incredibly dangerous aura.

Xiao Xiao slowly stepped back.

What did those two bell tolls mean?

Had these two men echoed?

They already possessed extremely strong combat skills, and if they had echoed...

"Lao Sun!"Xiao Xiao turned and slapped Lao Sun hard across the face. "Snap out of it!"

The slap was forceful, and Lao Sun's dazed eyes seemed to regain some focus.

"Ah? Wh-what's going on?" Lao Sun asked blankly.

"Trouble's here! Get ready to fight!"

Lao Sun came to his senses and saw the two men who had been restrained earlier now standing perfectly fine in front of them.

"How are they okay?" Lao Sun shook his head. "Don't worry... Leave it to me..."

His eyes locked dead on Qiao Ji Jin, trying to reinforce his own psychological suggestion.

"This man can't move... He's a monster born from stone... He can't move..." He repeated it over and over, and strange phenomena began to appear around Qiao Ji Jin.

Qiao Ji Jin paid no attention and slowly extended his hand, saying coldly, "Hey, no cheating. Come over and face me in a fair fight."

As soon as he spoke, glowing spots started appearing around him, as if trying to gather on his hands and feet, but they scattered like dandelions each time they nearly succeeded.

"What's going on...?" Lao Sun stared at Qiao Ji Jin in disbelief. "Why haven't you turned to stone..."

"I told you, let's have a fair fight."

"You can ignore 'Hui Xiang'...?" Xiao Xiao paused briefly, feeling the situation seemed familiar.

In the previous round, when she had gone to "persuade" Qi Xia, she had killed the tattooed man in front of her.

She had added a large amount of metronidazole to their soup bowls, temporarily immobilizing Qi Xia and the others.

But when she drove a nailed board into this tattooed man's skull, Qi Xia had mysteriously been able to move.

At the time, Xiao Xiao thought Qi Xia was strong enough to ignore 'Hui Xiang', but now it seemed the one who was truly powerful was this thug.

In his dying moments, he had released a trace of 'Hui Xiang' power, but he hadn't lived to hear the bell toll, so he couldn't retain his memories.

"So, you're the most dangerous one..." Xiao Xiao's gaze turned cold. "How terrifying..."

Zhang Shan slowly walked forward, circling around Qiao Ji Jin and stopping in front of Xiao Xiao.

Qiao Ji Jin felt a wind emanating from Zhang Shan, and his presence had become strangely intense.

"No need to waste words with this woman..." Zhang Shan stepped forward and swung his fist hard at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao quickly steadied herself and mobilized all her conviction to use "Jia Huo".

Thud!!

A massive dull sound echoed, and Xiao Xiao didn't move, but Zhang Shan flew far away, smashing into the ground after traveling seven or eight meters.

Such an exaggerated flight was something people only saw in movies.

Sweat slowly beaded on Xiao Xiao's forehead.

What kind of force was that?

If her "Jia Huo" hadn't succeeded just now, she would have been done for.

"Ha, ha ha ha!" Xiao Xiao snapped back to reality, pointing at the distant Zhang Shan with a twisted expression as she laughed. "Lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot!!"

She knew that even for someone like Zhang Shan, being hit by such a forceful backlash would be fatal.

"Serves you right, you..."

Before she could finish, Zhang Shan patted the dust off himself and stood up.

His chest had caved in, but it was visibly regenerating right before their eyes.

"One punch won't work, so try two." Zhang Shan said casually as he walked forward again. "Let's see how many you can block."

"I be damned..." Qiao Ji Jin couldn't help but curse. "Big guy, what is this...?"

"Be careful, don't get caught in the crossfire." Zhang Shan waved a hand at Qiao Ji Jin.

Qiao Ji Jin naturally stepped aside.

With that, Zhang Shan threw another punch, which whistled through the air so fast it created a thunderous crack.

"This punch won't kill me...!" Xiao Xiao shouted. "It'll be that thug who dies!!"

Bang!!

Qiao Ji Jin didn't even flinch, but when Zhang Shan's fist landed on Xiao Xiao, bursts of glowing white points exploded from him.

Xiao Xiao froze again.

She felt like she had clearly transferred the harm to that thug, but he was fine once more.

"Two punches won't work, so try three." Zhang Shan said. "Go ahead and transfer it—let's see who ends up unlucky in the end."

Xiao Xiao quickly looked around. There were only four people on the bridge—who could she transfer it to?!

Transfer it to Lao Sun?

If he died, she'd be in even more danger!

"Lao Sun! Original object!!" Xiao Xiao yelled.

"Okay, okay!"

As Zhang Shan advanced again, Xiao Xiao retreated in fear.

Lao Sun hurriedly waved his hands toward Zhang Shan, closed his eyes, and chanted, "Crush you... Crush you... The sky's full of stones... Smash you into pulp..."

"Hey!" Qiao Ji Jin shouted. "Didn't I tell you no cheating?!"

As he spoke, countless glowing white lights rained down from the sky like a storm, turning the entire area into a dazzling starry river.

Though the display was impressive, not a single stone was among the lights.

"Ah... Oh my god..." Lao Sun opened his eyes in disbelief. He had expected huge stones to fall from the sky, but all he saw were white points of light. "What are these things?!"

"Lao Sun!!!" Xiao Xiao screamed again, her voice already hoarse.

Lao Sun immediately turned and extended his hands toward Xiao Xiao.

He muttered a few words, and in moments, Xiao Xiao's body was covered in stone armor.

Zhang Shan ignored Lao Sun and hunched his upper body, then threw a punch with all his strength.

Xiao Xiao squeezed her eyes shut and tried to mobilize her conviction again.

But Zhang Shan's fist whistled through the air, making it impossible for her to concentrate.

Who should take this punch?!

Another dull sound rang out, and this time, the one who flew away was Xiao Xiao.
