Chapter 573: Vomiting Blood and Fainting Unconscious

“This is the Cloud Apex Technique, the supreme body cultivation method of our sect. It is said that when cultivated to the ultimate level, one becomes like a cloud—formless, bodiless, ever-changing, and utterly indistinguishable between reality and illusion.”

“Brother Fang has always had a fiery temper. This human could have at least yielded a little; if he had just exercised some patience, none of this would have happened.”

“Brother Fang has already cultivated his Domain to the point where it responds instantly to his will, and he stands merely a step away from the Dongtian境 (Dongtian Realm).”

“This human is in for trouble. Brother Fang’s palm strike is simply too powerful—it goes far beyond the Domain realm.”

The surrounding disciples began whispering among themselves. Though they dared to feel anger toward Brother Fang, they did not dare voice it aloud; none would dare defy his authority.

No one expected that a mere human would dare act so recklessly, provoking Brother Fang to such an extent. It seemed today’s punishment would be far worse than just a broken limb.

Fang Weifeng was a native being, raised since childhood within Yun Sect, and always carried himself as if he were the supreme ruler of all under heaven.

Even those disciples who joined the sect later and surpassed Fang Weifeng in strength would still give him space and avoid confrontation.

However, outside the sect, no one indulged his temperament anymore.

Wei Tian sneered coldly at Lin Fan, eager to see this despicable fellow beg for mercy beneath Brother Fang’s overwhelming might.

“This technique does seem somewhat extraordinary.”

Lin Fan observed the ever-shifting Fang Weifeng, his curiosity piqued by the technique.

A sect’s strength is ultimately judged by the martial arts its disciples possess.

Judging by this technique alone, Lin Fan felt it was indeed exceptional.

Its movements mimic clouds—seemingly solid, yet intangible.

Vanishing like mist, mysterious and unpredictable, making it impossible to distinguish truth from illusion.

In an instant, Fang Weifeng appeared behind Lin Fan, unleashing a palm strike of boundless power aimed directly at Lin Fan’s head.

It seemed as though he intended to reduce Lin Fan to a mindless fool.

“Watch out!” Hongyun Immortaless had been anxious all along, dreading this fight.

Especially seeing Brother Fang constantly resorting to deadly force, she feared Lin Fan might show mercy and fall victim to Fang’s ruthless tactics.

“Die!” Fang Weifeng sneered cruelly, his lips curling into a sinister grin. This despicable fellow dared oppose him—only death could atone for such defiance.

Lin Fan stood with his back to Fang Weifeng, a faint smile playing on his face.

What difference does a powerful technique make?

In the Xuanhuang Realm, Lin Fan had walked through life and death countless times. Every battle he had fought was earth-shaking and perilous.

If he were to fall to Fang Weifeng’s tricks now, he would have lived in vain.

In an instant, Lin Fan turned around, lifting his hand slightly and extending a single finger. This finger appeared ordinary, emitting no trace of power.

Indeed, to the surrounding disciples, this human was likely about to be struck dead by Brother Fang’s palm.

Yet what followed was completely unexpected.

The disciples rubbed their eyes, as if they had seen a mirage.

Brother Fang’s immensely powerful palm strike had actually been halted by a single finger.

One Finger of Annihilation!

In an instant, ripples radiated outward from that finger like stones dropped into water, forming concentric circles.

Crack!

The surrounding void seemed to suffer a heavy blow, shattering like a mirror into tiny fragments.

Fang Weifeng’s expression abruptly changed, his eyes widening in horror.

He suddenly realized his formidable palm strike had been blocked by an impenetrable wall.

And from that finger emanated an irresistible force, tearing through the surrounding spatial barriers, nearly shattering his arm as well.

“Damn it!” Fang Weifeng roared furiously, trying to break free.

But this finger exuded an infinite suction force, clinging to his palm. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not pull away.

“You have provoked me repeatedly. I should have killed you, but since you are Immortaless Hongyun’s senior brother, I will spare your life. Still, I must leave you with a lesson.” Lin Fan said calmly.

Break!

With a light shout from Lin Fan, a force of annihilation surged forth. Fang Weifeng watched in horror as his palm began to disintegrate, turning into wisps of dust that scattered into the void.

Aaaaah!

A scream rang out as Fang Weifeng howled in pain.

“Please show mercy!” cried Hongyun Immortaless.

Lin Fan flicked his finger lightly. Fang Weifeng’s body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The surrounding disciples stared in shock, their faces pale. They never imagined that the mighty Brother Fang would be subdued by a single finger.

At this moment, Wei Tian’s hands and feet trembled. He suddenly realized how terrifying this human truly was.

Fang Weifeng roared furiously, his eyes filled with disbelief. But within moments, that disbelief transformed into rage and hatred, his murderous gaze fixed on Lin Fan as if they shared an ancient grudge.

“You dare sever my hand! I will kill you!” Fang Weifeng screamed.

“Stay alive if you know what’s good for you. I spared you only for Hongyun Immortaless’s sake. If you insist on dying, I won’t mind sending you on your way.” Lin Fan coldly snorted.

“I want you dead…” Fang Weifeng’s eyes turned blood-red, clearly descending into madness.

“That’s enough, Brother Fang!” Hongyun Immortaless shouted.

“Get lost!” Fang Weifeng roared, his mind unhinged. His body trembled, unleashing a domineering force.

“Cloud Apex Force!”

Seeing this, Hongyun Immortaless’s heart trembled. She hadn’t expected Brother Fang to resort to a secret technique.

Cloud Apex means standing atop the clouds, gazing down upon all beings, towering above all under heaven.

Puu! Puu!

Two mouthfuls of refined blood spewed forth, condensing before Fang Weifeng into various shapes, eventually forming a red sword.

This red sword was strangely flexible, with a floating image of a Cloud Emperor upon its blade. The Cloud Emperor radiated majesty and authority, dominating all beneath heaven.

Wielding the Cloud Emperor’s sword, Fang Weifeng merged with it in an instant, rushing toward Lin Fan like a tempest. The sword trembled, its aura surging, a mighty torrent descending from the heavens, determined to cut Lin Fan down.

Lin Fan stood calmly in place, observing Hongyun Immortaless’s anxious expression before nodding slightly.

Since that was the case, there was no choice but to proceed.

At that moment, Lin Fan joined his two fingers together, a stream of energy coiling around them.

Buzz!

A humming sound echoed as Lin Fan’s figure vanished from his spot.

“Lightning Flash!”

In an instant, the world seemed still, with no fluctuations at all.

A flash of light streaked by.

Fang Weifeng pierced forward, standing still afterward, his face pale. The Cloud Emperor’s sword in his hand instantly vanished into oblivion.

“Hahaha!”

At that moment, Fang Weifeng burst into laughter. He had just felt his Cloud Emperor sword pierce through the opponent’s body.

“What are you laughing at?” Yet suddenly, a voice sounded, and Fang Weifeng’s expression changed abruptly, his disbelief evident.

“How is this possible?”

Fang Weifeng refused to believe what had happened. He had clearly felt the sword pierce through, so why was this fellow still alive?

“Aaaaah…”

At that moment, shrieks of panic erupted from female disciples among the crowd.

At the same time, laughter and murmurs spread among the other disciples.

Fang Weifeng suddenly felt a chill run through his body. Looking down, his expression changed drastically.

Shame, fury, madness, hatred…

“Didn’t expect Brother Fang’s ‘treasure’ to be the size of a peanut. First time I’ve ever seen one so small.”

At that moment, Lin Fan’s voice echoed across the heavens.

Yet to Fang Weifeng, it was a voice of eternal humiliation.

Puu! Puu! Puu! Puu!

Fang Weifeng spat streams of blood into the air, scattering through the sky like a tragic rain.

At that moment, overwhelmed by fury and shame, Fang Weifeng could no longer endure. With a thud, he collapsed unconscious.
