Chapter 364 The Heavens Will Curse

Xu Tianxin’s face changed dramatically.

Only now did he realize something was terribly wrong — Chen Fei’s fist had pierced straight through space and landed directly on his body!

The worst part? He wasn’t a body cultivator. He didn’t have a physique that could handle such force.

That punch hurt. A lot.

“Get back!”

Xu Tianxin roared, eyes bloodshot, gritting his teeth through the pain.

A powerful repelling force erupted from his body, violently pushing Chen Fei to the far end of the arena!

Chen Fei didn’t resist. He simply stood calmly, not pursuing the advantage.

Xu Tianxin had managed to throw him off — but it cost him. He collapsed to his knees, panting heavily.

“Brother!”

Xu Tianqin’s eyes welled up as she watched.

“Let’s just surrender, okay?”

“Surrender?”

Xu Tianxin glanced sideways at her. Despite the stinging pain wracking his body, he forced a faint smile.

“Can’t do that.”

He slowly stood up and wiped the blood from his mouth.

“Junior Brother Chen’s punch… it surprised me. Far more powerful than I expected.”

Chen Fei remained still, eyes still closed.

He had figured out Xu Tianxin’s strange techniques. As long as he didn’t use his eyes, Xu Tianxin’s illusions couldn’t influence him.

“Senior Brother Xu, why push yourself so hard?” Chen Fei asked.

Xu Tianxin only offered a bitter smile. He didn’t answer, but raised his hand and slammed it against his left shoulder.

Boom!

A cracking sound echoed as a surge of power exploded from his shoulder, tearing through his robe. Strange cursed runes began to spread down his arm.

Wherever the runes passed, his once smooth skin began to wrinkle and crack.

Without pausing, Xu Tianxin slammed his right shoulder as well.

Rip!

That side of his robe tore too.

“Brother!”

Xu Tianqin’s face went pale.

“You’ll die if you go through with this!”

Xu Tianxin ignored her.

“Take the young miss and leave,”

he commanded coldly.

An elder from the Xu family looked up at Xu Tianxin, pain flashing in his eyes. Then, without hesitation, he knocked Xu Tianqin unconscious with a palm strike.

They knew her temperament well — there was no other way to get her to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Fei finally opened his eyes.

“Is it worth it?”

he asked.

Xu Tianxin exhaled slowly.

“This seal was created by my master using rare and costly materials, and it cost him ten years of cultivation to complete.”

“With my current strength, I can only withstand two layers of this seal.”

“But against you… that should be enough.”

His eyes gleamed with powerful fighting intent.

Truthfully, their personal grudges weren’t serious enough to justify such self-destruction — but Tu Shenzi’s manipulation had forced his hand.

The cursed runes spread from Xu Tianxin’s shoulders, slithering up his neck and stopping just below his chin.

“The will of Heaven… cannot be defied!”

Xu Tianxin chanted, forming a hand seal.

The moment the words fell, the ground beneath Chen Fei’s feet began to shake violently.

Countless arms burst from the earth and latched onto his legs!

Chen Fei tried to raise his foot to break free — but the arms transformed into golden runes, wrapping tightly around his legs and dragging them back down to the ground.

“You can’t break free, Junior Brother. This is the will of Heaven!”

Xu Tianxin smiled faintly, then teleported in front of Chen Fei.

He pressed his rune-covered hands directly onto Chen Fei’s chest.

“Heaven’s Will… Execute!”

The cursed runes on Xu Tianxin’s arms surged to life, drilling into Chen Fei’s chest like living things.

“What is that?!”

“He’s been hiding this trump card the whole time?!”

Even Barbarian Brother’s eyes went wide. His pupils contracted sharply.

He stared at the runes on Xu Tianxin’s body, suddenly recalling something.

“The Heaven’s Will Curse?! Xu Tianxin — are you mad?!”

Xu Tianxin ignored everyone. He stared fixedly at Chen Fei.

This technique placed immense strain on him — every second he maintained it, his body paid the price. He wouldn’t last long.

Chen Fei’s body was locked in place. The runes crawled across his skin, attempting to dig deep into his core and destroy him from the inside.

But Chen Fei… didn’t panic.

He stared calmly at Xu Tianxin.

“Surrender,”

Xu Tianxin urged.

“Surrender?”

Chen Fei replied softly.

In that moment — the crawling runes suddenly stopped.

The cursed text that had just moments ago been squirming across his skin… fell completely still. It was as if the Heaven’s Will Curse had simply vanished.

Xu Tianxin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He could no longer sense his curse inside Chen Fei’s body!

It was as if it had been swallowed up.

But that curse contained his own life force and blood essence. Losing it so easily dealt a devastating blow to his strength.

“What… what’s going on?! This isn’t right!”

Xu Tianxin stared, stunned.

Chen Fei’s arms shook once — and an overwhelming wave of force blasted out from his body, sending Xu Tianxin flying.

“What just happened?! Did the Heaven’s Will Curse just… dissolve?!”

“Junior Brother Chen… what kind of technique was that?! Even a curse strong enough to slay high-level cultivators didn’t work!”

As Barbarian Brother shouted, the crowd snapped to attention.

Now that the words “Heaven’s Will Curse” had been spoken, those who understood its significance were utterly shocked.

Chen Fei had completely defied expectations once again.

In a flash, he reappeared beside Xu Tianxin.

Xu Tianxin’s body was now extremely weak. With the curse backfiring and vanishing, all his strength had drained away. Recovering would require immense resources.

And on this arena… killing your opponent was perfectly normal.

“No!”

Xu Tianqin had just woken up and returned — only to see Chen Fei raise his fist.

She cried out in panic.

But Chen Fei’s punch halted right before Xu Tianxin’s forehead.

“Senior Brother Xu… thanks for the match.”

Xu Tianxin looked up in surprise.

Chen Fei didn’t explain.

Instead, he helped Xu Tianxin up with a gentle burst of internal energy.

He had been angry at Xu Tianxin’s sudden attack, but he also understood — Xu Tianxin was just a pawn of Tu Shenzi.

And those final words — his plea for surrender — had shown Chen Fei that he wasn’t a villain at heart.

Xu Tianxin didn’t resist. Propped up by Chen Fei’s energy, he slowly stood and looked at him with a complex expression. Then, cupping his fists, he said:

“Thank you, Junior Brother Chen.”

Chen Fei’s gaze passed beyond him, toward the long pavilion behind the crowd.

“Senior Brother Tu… since you’re already here, why not come face me yourself?”

Silence.

The entire plaza fell into stunned silence.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Chen Fei.

What’s going on?! Chen Fei… is challenging the Senior Brother Tu himself?!
