Chapter 430: Chapter 259: News

"Your strength truly surprises me, but unfortunately, you must die here today," Chen Tiangang said coldly, his tone dripping with endless killing intent.

With a flicker of his body, he once again launched a fierce attack at Fang Yue.

He channeled his Demon Ape True Form to its limits, each punch carrying the force of a mountain, threatening to utterly annihilate Fang Yue.

Facing Chen Tiangang’s ferocious assault, a resolute and determined glint flashed in Fang Yue’s eyes.

He knew there was no retreat from this battle. Only by giving it his all could he hope to grasp that one sliver of a chance for survival.

He took a deep breath, and the Primordial Qi in his body began to circulate wildly.

It was as if tiny serpents were slithering beneath his skin—a strange phenomenon caused by the high-speed flow of Primordial Qi through his body.

Simultaneously, his eyes grew deeper, as if they could devour all darkness.

"BOOM!"

Chen Tiangang’s fist viciously slammed toward Fang Yue’s chest.

However, just as the fist was about to strike Fang Yue’s body, a faint, bronze-colored light suddenly erupted from within him, tinting his entire being the color of ancient bronze.

The Dark Radiant Vajra Body activated.

"BANG!"

The fist collided with the bronze light, letting out a dull, thunderous boom.

Chen Tiangang felt as if his fist had struck an indestructible wall of bronze. The immense recoil sent a slight numbness through his arm.

Meanwhile, Fang Yue used the force of the impact to his advantage. With a flash, he swiftly put distance between himself and Chen Tiangang.

He knew that while the Dark Radiant Vajra Body was powerful, he couldn’t maintain it indefinitely.

So, using that powerful recoil, Fang Yue swiftly put more distance between himself and Chen Tiangang, then dove down toward the river flowing between the two mountains.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

"Damn it! He got away again!" Chen Tiangang roared in fury, watching helplessly as Fang Yue’s figure vanished into the river.

He made to follow, about to dive into the river to continue the pursuit, but he stopped abruptly. In the end, he didn’t give chase.

"You think escaping into treacherous terrain will save your life? How naive!" Chen Tiangang sneered, an icy glint in his eyes.

He had no intention of giving up the hunt. The reason he didn’t pursue was that he felt it would be difficult to kill Fang Yue even if he did catch him.

’To be absolutely certain, I’ll have to find someone else to help me!’

After all, based on his calculations, Celestial King Wu should already be somewhere nearby.

Chen Tiangang stared gloomily into the distance where the river flowed, his heart filled with frustration and rage.

He never imagined he’d be pushed to this point by some no-name punk, forced to rely on someone else’s power just to kill him.

Still, he knew it wasn’t anything to be ashamed of.

After all, Fang Yue’s strength had far surpassed his expectations. It was true that killing him alone would be difficult.

Besides, he didn’t want to risk putting himself in danger.

Therefore, joining forces with Celestial King Wu was undoubtedly the best option.

With that thought, he no longer hesitated. He turned and flew off in another direction.

He knew Celestial King Wu had to be nearby. All he had to do was send a signal, and he would arrive shortly.

Meanwhile, Fang Yue was struggling to swim through the river.

He knew that even though he had temporarily escaped Chen Tiangang’s pursuit, he wasn’t out of danger yet.

After all, Chen Tiangang was still slightly stronger than him.

’Next, while I continue tracking Qing’er and the other girl, I need to raise my Dark Radiant Vajra Body Cultivation Technique another level!’ Fang Yue thought to himself.

He was well aware that his escape from Chen Tiangang was largely thanks to the powerful defense of his Dark Radiant Vajra Body.

However, this Cultivation Technique was still only at the introductory stage. If he could advance it to a higher level, his own strength would increase dramatically.

Moreover, he knew all too well that his current strength was insufficient to face even more powerful foes.

’I have to seize every opportunity to increase my strength.’

Meanwhile, Chen Tiangang had already tracked down Celestial King Wu. The moment they met, Chen Tiangang immediately told him about Fang Yue.

"Oh? Someone actually managed to escape from you? Now that’s interesting."

After hearing Chen Tiangang’s story, a playful smile touched Celestial King Wu’s lips.

In the next moment, however, instead of agreeing, he outright refused.

Though furious, Chen Tiangang knew Celestial King Wu was far stronger than him. He couldn’t possibly force him.

"You..." Chen Tiangang was at a loss for words.

He had originally thought that, given his relationship with Celestial King Wu, the man would surely agree to his request.

But now, it seemed he had miscalculated.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" Celestial King Wu asked, looking at Chen Tiangang’s frustrated expression with a sense of glee.

He had no real intention of helping Chen Tiangang hunt down Fang Yue. After all, there was nothing in it for him.

Besides, he wanted to see for himself just what this kid who had put Chen Tiangang in such a sorry state was capable of.

Chen Tiangang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his rage.

He knew he was no match for Celestial King Wu at the moment, so he could only swallow his pride.

But then a thought struck him, and he let out a sinister chuckle. "It seems you don’t know who it is I’m hunting! No wonder you refused so bluntly!"
