The Pinnacle of the Butcher's Fury

"Li Poyun! What are you waiting for?"

The young man, Xu Ka, now wore a dark expression, no longer carrying the playful attitude from before.

He had underestimated Chen Dafen's stubbornness. The adults had warned him, but he hadn't taken them seriously.

Chen Dafen had woken Xu Ka up with his fists, proving that this was no mere beast—this was a monster, a beast with no boundaries, one that could snap at any moment!

"Kill him! We don't have time!" Xu Ka's fingers crackled with dark energy as he urged Li Poyun.

"Then damn it, break his state!" Li Poyun spat without turning, anger in his voice. His eyes remained fixed on Chen Dafen, unable to look away.

This monster—Chen Dafen was the first person who made Li Poyun feel genuinely threatened.

In the ten-plus minutes of fighting, their overwhelming speed had turned the battle into a near endless exchange of brutal strikes!

This lunatic had no desire to defend himself. He only attacked—every blow like a mountain crashing down. Li Poyun could clearly feel the overwhelming intent to kill in each punch.

"You think I don't want to?!" Xu Ka growled, his eyes locked on Chen Dafen. Suddenly, he wiped at his nose, feeling warmth. His pupils contracted.

Blood.

For the first time, his power had backfired.

"It's impossible!" he muttered, his hand clenched in a fist. "I've cracked it so many times! I'm sure—he's not under any buff anymore! All he has left is his fists!"

Mike, watching from a distance, could confirm Xu Ka's words.

The energy that had once amplified Chen Dafen's strength had completely faded. The effects of the Long Lamp Guardian's counter-damage were gone, and even Chen Dafen's own talent boosts had frozen. His base stats were now below ten thousand, steadily declining.

Mike had to admit the true power of the Special Forces from Shen City, especially this seemingly harmless young man. With his auxiliary talent, he had managed to overpower Li Poyun and become the team leader, wielding an almost invincible effect against others of the same rank.

As long as Chen Dafen's status did not reach SSS level, Xu Ka could negate all external enhancements and suppress his original abilities.

"So why is he still so strong?" Li Poyun bit out, his tone grim. "I can't keep up with him anymore. Do you understand? I'm slower than him!"

It was nearly unthinkable for Li Poyun to admit. His pride had always been in his physical strength, but now, in one battle, he had fallen behind.

This madman—why was he getting stronger the longer they fought?

"I was the one leading the assault with my team! He's fighting alone!"

"Then let's go again!" Yue Yue hissed, her body blending with the shadows. The voice that followed was a low, vengeful whisper: "Li Poyun, I have one more move. Give me a chance!"

"Fine."

Li Poyun narrowed his eyes, shutting off all his senses as he entered a transcendent combat state.

This powerful man was now pushing his limits, focusing all his combat will into defeating Chen Dafen.

"You guys taking this seriously now?" Chen Dafen mocked, his gaze always dripping with contempt.

"Too bad, I still have fists left."

With a deep breath, Chen Dafen disappeared in a blur!

"Bang!"

The sharp sound of sonic boom exploded in the air as Chen Dafen shot forward, faster than anyone could react.

"Here he comes!"

Li Poyun's heart sank as he crossed his arms defensively, unleashing the swirling energy around him to guard against the incoming attack.

"I'm right here!!"

Chen Dafen's roar echoed above him. Li Poyun could hardly react in time, barely raising his arms to block.

"Die!!"

With his remaining strength, Chen Dafen's right fist crashed down, a blow of overwhelming power! The air tore apart as the shockwave hit Li Poyun's arm!

"Boom!!!"

The deafening blast shook the air, sending shockwaves throughout the battlefield! The earth itself was torn open, and even the sky seemed to tremble!

"It's impossible!" Li Poyun gritted his teeth, his eyes nearly bursting with blood as he resisted with everything he had, refusing to back down.

"Kneel!"

Chen Dafen roared, his final reserves of energy being forced into the blow, tearing at his own wounds, and forcing blood from his already broken body.

But his will was unyielding.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, Xu Ka's voice rang out, sharp and clear!

A sudden pain struck Chen Dafen's back, as though his energy was draining away from a ruptured valve.

"Get lost!!"

Li Poyun seized the moment, shouting as he thrust his arms out, his already broken limbs twisting painfully as he managed to push Chen Dafen off.

"Damn it!" Chen Dafen cursed, still unable to subdue Li Poyun.

He would have to wait for another chance.

But just as he was preparing to retreat, a black rope shot out of the darkness, latching onto his only remaining uninjured fist.

It was another one of their talents—this rope had incredible control powers.

Chen Dafen knew, but he couldn't evade it.

His strength was drained, and he could only watch helplessly as the rope wrapped around his fist and then coiled around his waist, constricting him like a snake.

"Damn!" Chen Dafen cursed, struggling to break free.

"Pop!"

With every tightening loop of the black rope, the last of his strength was spent.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed!

Yue Yue emerged from the shadows, her deadly knife aimed at Chen Dafen's throat, with another woman beside her!

"Deadly strike!"

Yue Yue's beautiful eyes gleamed with a mysterious violet light, matching the deadly dagger she held as it sliced through the air toward Chen Dafen's neck.

"You think you can do this?"

Chen Dafen whipped his head around in a blur of rage, twisting to avoid the deadly blow.

In that final, fleeting moment, he tried to bite the dagger with his teeth!

It was the most vulnerable moment in the battle, but his unbelievable speed allowed him to avoid the fatal blow.

"Crack!"

The dagger shattered his teeth, splitting open his mouth, and slicing through his lips. His face was nearly torn apart.

But despite the injury, Yue Yue retreated in fear.

She had felt something in that moment—a terrifying sensation that Chen Dafen might just eat the dagger!

This madman... he was going to swallow it whole!

Yue Yue didn't dare take the risk; that dagger was her talent, the source of her power—it couldn't be lost.

"Coward!" Chen Dafen sneered, even as his shoulder was struck by the other woman's blade.

His once indestructible body was now ravaged—his defenses broken, blood and flesh scattered.

But the pain only pushed him further into madness. In the moment Yue Yue retreated, Chen Dafen, bound by the black rope, kicked out his severed leg.

"Bang!!"

The broken foot slammed into the woman's chest, sending her flying like a bullet, leaving only a bloody stain in the air.

Yet even as he did so, Chen Dafen was struck again, this time losing another chunk of his body.

But none of that mattered to him.

This madman—he cared nothing for his own body!

With every ounce of strength, he attacked Li Poyun and anyone who stood in his way!

A body broken, but a spirit unshaken, unwilling to fall until the very end!

"Chen Dafen!" Li Poyun shouted in fury, charging forward with all his might, his fist aimed at Chen Dafen's chest.

This was the perfect opportunity! He had timed it perfectly—Chen Dafen had nothing left!

"Boom!!"

The punch landed with terrifying force, burying Chen Dafen deep into the earth.

"Ugh..."

It felt like being hit with a force just as overwhelming as his own. The blow twisted Chen Dafen's insides, his eyes wide, blood spilling from his mouth, mixed with shattered fragments of his internal organs.

He was almost completely shattered by the blow—only the faintest breath kept him from death.

"Dammit... you...!" Chen Dafen stared up at Li Poyun, his body weak, yet still defiant. He swung weakly with every last ounce of strength, determined to erase the shame of this battle from his body!

This madman... How could he be stronger than me?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each punch shook the earth as Li Poyun's fury intensified. His blows echoed through the battlefield, cracking the ground beneath them.

"Too... too light."

Chen Dafen could no longer move. Every punch, every impact left him weaker. But even then, a smile spread across his bloodied face—a smile of contempt.

"You... can't beat me. You... can't break my fists!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Li Poyun's anger-filled fists came down harder, each one like an avalanche, making the earth tremble beneath them.

And yet, in the midst of this onslaught, Chen Dafen could see something through the darkness. From the shadow, Xu Ka stepped forward, flanked by a woman with dark hair. The woman was holding Xu Ka's hand, and together, a soft white light emanated from their contact.

Another top-tier auxiliary talent!

The earlier team effort hadn't been the final strike. They had witnessed Chen Dafen's insane vitality, and Xu Ka was ready to deliver the ultimate blow himself. Only he could end this man's life.

Xu Ka stared at Chen Dafen, pinned under Li Poyun's relentless barrage. Despite his lack of resistance, he was still alive.

Chen Dafen, too, stared back at Xu Ka. His lips quivered, parting slightly.

He couldn't make a sound, but Xu Ka could tell he was mouthing: "I... I'll kill you soon."

This madman... still staring at him!

Xu Ka's face darkened. In silence, he raised his finger, pointing at the helpless Chen Dafen.

"Progress! Crack!"

The amplified black light flashed!

Chen Dafen's body trembled as he felt the last of his vitality draining away, his foundation, his skills, his talents—all vanishing without a trace.

The darkness closed in, and his once steady eyes shattered, blood spilling from his sockets.

He could no longer see.

Death's aura surrounded him.

Li Poyun continued to pound away, but even as Chen Dafen's body was battered, something felt wrong.

"He's not dead yet...?"

Li Poyun's words barely left his mouth when his eyes widened in shock. His fist, ready to strike again, froze mid-air.

He stared at the nearly lifeless man below him, eyes wide in disbelief.

He saw it.

The impossible.

Even with no breath, his body broken, and his eyes missing, Chen Dafen's face twisted into a mocking grin.

His chest, caved in and shattered, suddenly began to rise again. His wounds were healing.

Even without eyes, Li Poyun could see it! The same arrogant gaze from before.

The fury that had overwhelmed them all.

"Boom!!"

An explosive force surged from Chen Dafen's body. His remaining fist shot forward with the fury of a storm, blasting Li Poyun away.

"What the hell...?"

Yue Yue's voice trembled in the dark, as everyone was left stunned. Xu Ka stepped back into the shadows, brows furrowed.

Li Poyun struggled to rise, his gaze fixed on Chen Dafen, who had somehow found the strength to stand.

Still blind, his body broken beyond recognition, but his right fist remained clenched.

He stood like a spear, stronger than ever.

"You're still not dead!" Li Poyun's voice cracked.

The battlefield was silent for a moment. Six of the most powerful talent users in the world, working together, couldn't bring him down.

How was this possible? Was there some sort of immortality hidden in his power?

No one could understand, only the terrifying pressure building in the air as Chen Dafen's strength surged once again.

"I told you," he said, his voice low and cold.

"You can't kill me."

And for the first time, his grin was truly satisfied.

"Now, I am truly at my peak."

A final counterattack.

The Butcher's most powerful state.

In his ultimate despair, Chen Dafen was still alive—his final burst of strength transforming him into an unstoppable force!

His stats surged by twenty times, and every blow carried the probability of a fatal strike.

This was the real Chen Dafen—the killing god of Jinling was reborn!
