At this point, Constantine couldn't stop his momentum . Pushing his right foot into the ground, he punched out with both fists to block Lou Cheng's iron hammerfist . The brutal strength made his muscles and fascias tremor like guitar strings . He couldn't get the loud buzz out of his head .
Boom!
Where they connected, the air currents blasted apart, sending passages of white waves outwards . Constantine felt like a pyramid with his fist being the tip of it . Under Lou Cheng's horrifying strength, the impact quickly shifted from one point to spreading across the whole of it, causing the whole structure to disintegrate and collapse .
Constantine didn't dare to resist . Lowering his arms, he floated backward as though he was sent flying . However, the push from the air swarming around him allowed him to be out of Lou Cheng's reach as the later gave chase!
If it had been a one-on-one, his supernatural ability would have gotten him out scot-free from Lou Cheng's follow up attacks . Then he could turn the tides . However, he wasn't against one person . A sudden pain penetrated his back . The pain spread across his spine, causing his skin to horripilate .
Ren Li, weaving her sword, had stabbed his hips . The strike was quick but silent .
The gleam in Constantine's eyes condensed . A sanguine light sprung up around him . He managed to stop his backward inertia at once in an eerie, physics-defying manner .
Bam! Releasing all his stored up energy, he swerved and avoided Ren Li's lethal sword strike .
However, in that moment of delay, Lou Cheng had closed in once more . Concentrating his Qi and blood, he visualized a Fighting Formula formed from stars!
Bam!
He grew above two-meters, muscle-bound with bulging, blue-black veins . He looked very much like an ancient giant from the depths of Hell . Jerking his shoulder and clenching his fist, he dealt a hammerfist!
The shadow enlarged in Constantine's eyes . He drew a sharp breath, letting the air inflate him like a balloon . He went over two meters and was a few times more muscular . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
His white shirt and casual long pants, not as flexible as a martial arts suit, ripped at once, revealing his pale-green skin and incredible muscles .
He had stolen the ability from one of his victims . He named it "The Hulk!"
Swinging his arms like a baseball bat, he struck at Lou Cheng .
The fists from the two veiny, muscular giants collided, stirring up a whirlwind and producing a thunderous explosion .
Boom!
Lou Cheng's arm recoiled and took a step back . He was back to his 1 . 8-meter appearance . Constantine, took multiple steps, leaving two vivid, gigantic footprints in the ground . His body began to shrink .
At that time, Ren Li struck again . There was a green flash from her sword . She chopped straight down, wanting to split her opponent in two!
Learning from the pincer experience from earlier, she didn't strike together with Lou Cheng . Instead, they adopted a tag-team approach so Constantine couldn't stop them both with one supernatural ability and make a run . The goal was to not give him a chance for a breather!
With the remaining power from the Hulk ability, Constantine slapped at the side of the green blade . Ren Li's longsword curved to the side, nearly falling out of her hands .
However, Ren Li's straight chop was merely a blind . Her killer move was her kicks . She kicked out continuously, spreading the impact across a small region, creating two sharp but thin wind blades that cut towards her enemy's solar plexus .
Pompf, pompf! It left two hideous, gaping wounds on Constantine's abdomen . Like a balloon leaking, he reverted to his original size .
Before he could grab at Ren Li, she had retreated using the wind . Lou Cheng stepped forward once more, using Force Concentration to activate another Fighting Formula!
Bam, bam, bam! His defined muscles bulged, producing a loud boom . His martial arts suit clung tightly to his body, accentuating his manly and muscular body .
Seeing his enemy transforming into a giant once more and punching at him, Constantine gnashed his teeth . A tumbling, glowing black gas sprang up around him, turning everything sticky .
Boom!
Lou Cheng's punch caught his opponent in the forearm . The savage force shattered the dark-glowing black gas around him, reducing it to fluttering butterflies .
Reducing the impact and mitigating the damage with Reassembling Night!
The dark glow and black mist scattered at once . Constantine's face turned awfully pale, his body lost existence and went with the wind like a mirage .
Ren Li, with her Wind Steps, chased forward before the countless vampiric bats could reassemble . She leaped into the air, turning mid-air so her body was upside-down!

Whoosh!
The wind's howling grew louder . A shining sword light swirled, forming a tornado that spread towards Constantine .
The 12th Style of the Wind Sect—Heaven's Burial!
The tornado intensified, the sharp intent increased . The sword's intent penetrated Constantine's mind, giving him a stinging headache . He let out an angry roar, calling the bats to hasten their return .
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
The loud sound of cutting through flesh came almost at the same beat . The black, crimson-glowing bats that were caught into it were immediately blended to dark drops and black mists . They vanished .
When the wind had stopped and the light was gone, Ren Li's figure appeared . Sword in hand, she did an air somersault four inches above Constantine, landing steadily behind her enemy .
Constantine, head buried in arms, had a blank, unfocused look in his eyes .
Before Lou Cheng could attack again, an even cut formed on the surface of his skin . After that, a loud howling of wind erupted, shredding his body to pieces .
Constantine's arms were cut into five pieces, his body in countless pieces . Only his legs were somewhat unharmed . Along with his innards, they flew and landed in every direction .
Bam!
Constantine's head was the last to touch the ground . It wasn't heavily damaged due to his protection, but life faded from his eyes, leaving only lingering regret and confusion .
"Whew, what a tough opponent," praised Ren Li, sheathing her sword .
The Dark Night Bat was not only powerful but also had many tricks up his sleeves . They almost let him, who was at the same stage, escape even when they were working together .
"Let's leave this place first . That military officer might turn back if he hears something," suggested Lou Cheng, looking around .
"Okay!" Ren Li, fairly fatigued too, lost interest in going to the military base . She left the place with Lou Cheng . They went to the North of the City, to the highway entrance towards Deeka .

Ren Li, looking at the sky, said, "I'll be meeting with Priest in Deeka, so I won't be there for long . I'll consider going back to the wartorn zones after mastering the Wind Sect's Physical Invulnerability Chapters . Or, I might go for the National Title right away . "
"Mhm . We haven't mastered our respective Physical Invulnerability Chapters, so there's a stark difference when we are against opponents of the same league . "
If he didn't rely on Cosmic Phantom, a quasi-Physical Invulnerability secret art he derived after making the breakthrough, he couldn't have taken down either Dark Night Bat or the Mummy for certain .
Lou Cheng went on . "I won't be going to Deeka . I'll head to Fartouat to get some information on my Brother-in-law Lin Que . I need to know where he was last seen, then decide whether I'm heading into the wartorn zones . "
If possible, he wanted to have Master grant him the Ice Sect Physical Invulnerability Chapters . After grasping the basic concepts, he will dive deep in the wartorn-zones to find him .
"Okay, I'll be off then," smiled Ren Li . She waved handsomely, then confidently bolted South for Khukhang .
Mouthing twitching, Lou Cheng quickly halted her to point her the right direction .
When Ren Li was far gone, he pondered, then returned to Khukhang and took shortcuts to the place where they battled Lou Cheng .
When the Dark Night Bat died, Lou Cheng didn't felt relieved . Instead, he felt a vague, lingering danger premonition . Hence, he decided to visit the battlefield once more for a careful inspection . He also wanted to preserve a piece of Constantine's flesh with his ice powers for the military's research .
. . .
Back where the Physical Invulnerability Mighty Ones once battled . There was gunpowder smoke . The floor was littered with pieces of the corpse . In the surrounding area, some flames burned faintly . All was quiet, like an oil painting .
A few minutes later, Constantine's head suddenly moved . A crimson light filled his eyes as life returned to him .
He spat out a thin, scarlet mist that shrouded the area around him . Pieces of flesh, wriggling creepily, slowly returned and reassembled!
When he failed to heavily wound his enemy with Holy Light Kingdom, Constantine already knew he couldn't escape using usual methods . So, without making unnecessary attempts, he set up the stage to perform the Savior's last, and most unusual ability . It was the last resort for him to escape his predicament .
Revival!
As long as his head wasn't shattered and his flesh and blood were available, he could revive!

For that, he acted as though he was in a rough spot, sometimes haughty and sometimes shocked .
After ten minutes, the bloody Constantine finally stood up . All his incision marks remained, making him look like Frankenstein .
He was at his weakest state, so his self-regenerative abilities weren't sufficient to heal himself .
"You'll pay for this!" he said resentfully, hobbling away .
Right now, he was very weak, so he didn't want to take any risks or run into Amon who might be attracted to the noises .
That was when he felt something . Looking north, he stared right into the eyes of a confused Lou Cheng .
Blank stares .
"No!!!" yelled Constantine, attempting to escape with unsteady steps .
Why did he come back!
With an Attainment Formula, Lou Cheng raised wind and rushed forward . Jerking his left arm, he punched at his creepy enemy's face .
Constantine raised both fists to block, but his hands were knocked away by Lou Cheng's right fist . Surrounded by a dense and white-hot flame, it landed on his nose .
Snap!
His nose bridge caved inwards . His deformed face then cracked, his eyes filled with terror and despair .
After that, the white-hot flames exploded .
Boom!
Countless pieces, stained in red and white, sprayed everywhere, painting a beautiful abstract oil painting .
