176: Chapter 176 Seizing the Fruit, Returning with a Shattered Sky

"Old man."

"Your hand is too soft."

A cold and mocking voice drifted from the flying shards of glass.

Just at the absolute moment when that blood-colored spiritual giant hand, capable of crushing a building, was about to completely flatten Private Box No. 3!

"Bang!"

An ear-piercing, eardrum-shattering sonic boom exploded in mid-air!

Su Chen did not retreat at all! He didn't even have the thought of dodging!

Amidst gazes filled with sheer terror, a slender, thin black figure jumped out of the private box, heading straight towards that blood-colored giant hand that resembled a small mountain!

"Is he crazy?!"

"He actually dares to use his Physical Body to resist a Great Grandmaster's Dharma Seal!" The Martial Artists in the audience screamed in terror.

Mid-air, Su Chen's eyes were as cold as ice. He twisted his waist violently, and the muscles in his right arm tightened to their limit.

"Hum—!"

A profound, pitch-black [Armament Haki] that seemed to devour all light wrapped tightly around his right fist within a thousandth of a second!

Following that, wisps of dark red [Ryuo] violent energy, like leaping blood-colored lightning, were frantically spitting and tearing through the air at the edge of his black fist!

"Shatter for me!"

Su Chen let out a low roar in his heart. His right fist, moving from bottom to top, smashed fiercely into the blood-colored giant hand that was blocking out the sky!

"Boom—!!!"

Two forces capable of destroying the world collided in mid-air!

There was no stalemate of equal strength. There was only destructive annihilation!

The moment the spiritual giant hand, which had condensed the massive blood energy of a Tier 5 Grandmaster, touched Su Chen's fist, the internal destructive force of the Ryuo rushed into the hand's internal structure like a breached dam, extremely violently!

"Crack! Crack!" Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds like glass shattering.

In the incredulous gaze of the Wang family's Grand Elder, Grand Elder Wang Zhentian, his proud killing move began to crumble inch by inch from the palm!

"Bang!" The giant blood-colored handprint was forcibly shattered into red light spots scattering across the sky by this punch from Su Chen in mid-air!

"Pfft—!"

With his killing move forcibly shattered and his energy disrupted, Grand Elder Wang Zhentian, who was floating outside the second-floor box, suddenly tilted his head back and spat out a large mouthful of blood!

His old face turned deathly pale. His body stumbled backward a dozen steps in mid-air before he barely managed to stabilize himself.

"This is impossible!" Grand Elder Wang Zhentian clutched his aching chest, his eyes almost popping out, "My spiritual seal was blasted apart by a single punch?!"

The thousands of guests in the Underground Black Market were even more horrified, the sound of gasping for air echoing everywhere! A single punch to repel a Great Grandmaster! Where did this monster wearing a demon mask come from?

However, without giving anyone time to breathe, after shattering the giant hand with one punch, Su Chen did not pause in mid-air.

"Bang!" He stomped the air again, his figure turning into a black afterimage.

Like a black meteorite falling from the sky, he landed with extreme precision and arrogance directly in the center of the auction stage, the core of the entire auction house!

"Boom!" The marble auction stage cracked into spiderwebs under Su Chen's feet.

Less than two meters away from Su Chen was the heavy lead box containing the [Devil Fruit]!

"Who is it!"

"Protect the auction item!"

The four Tier 5 Grandmaster guards stationed at the four corners of the auction stage finally woke up from their stupor! They roared, erupting with terrifying blood energy, and pounced on Su Chen like four mad lions!

The female auctioneer at the Martial Ancestor realm was even more terrified, her face pale as she retreated repeatedly.

But they were too slow.

Su Chen didn't even look at the four pouncing Grandmasters. He reached out his right hand casually and grabbed the dark purple fruit covered in spiral patterns inside the lead box!

The moment the fruit was in his hand, "Beep! Beep! Beep!!!" The [System] in Su Chen's mind emitted an extremely frantic and excited prompt!

"High-dimensional Origin detected!"

"Target confirmed: Devil Fruit (One Piece World)!"

"Can immediately exchange for a huge amount of origin points!"

Listening to the System's revelry in his mind, the corners of Su Chen's mouth under the mask curled into an excited, cold sneer.

"Store." Su Chen moved his mind.

Right under the eyes of thousands of people, that strange fruit, which the Wang family regarded as their lifeline and was worth a fortune, vanished into thin air from Su Chen's hand with a "swish"! It had been completely stored into his System space!

"The fruit is gone?!"

"Space storage artifact! He has space equipment!" The scene exploded instantly, and the eyes of countless desperate criminals revealed extreme, greedy green light.

"Little beast! Put that thing down for this old man!"

On the second-floor viewing platform, Grand Elder Wang Zhentian, having caught his breath, looked at the empty lead box. He fell into complete, hysterical madness!

The Wang family had been planning for this fruit for eighteen years! Now it had been snatched away right under their noses!

"Kill him! Kill him for me!" Grand Elder Wang Zhentian pointed at Su Chen on the auction stage and roared madly, "At all costs! Chop him into meat paste!"

"Kill!"

Following the roar of the Wang family's Old Ancestor, hundreds of high-level guards inside the Underground Black Market, along with the Wang family experts hidden in the ordinary seats, instantly tore off their disguises! "Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Hundreds of high-level spiritual weapons flashing with cold light were unsheathed at the same time! Hundreds of powerful blood energy fluctuations gathered together like a breached dam! They swarmed towards Su Chen on the auction stage!

Surrounded on all sides, with no way out!

"Seeking death."

Facing the crazy siege of hundreds of experts, Su Chen stood in place, letting out a cruel, cold snort from under his mask.

"Those who block me, die."

Su Chen gave a low shout, and his fists slammed together in front of him!

"Hum—!" A layer of blue-grey metallic luster instantly covered his entire body tightly! [Navy Six Styles: Iron Body]!

At the same time, deep black Haki and dark red Ryuo, like two leaping netherfires, wrapped tightly around his fists!

"Hack him to death!" The dozen Wang family death soldiers at the very front waved their war blades and slashed fiercely at Su Chen's head and back!

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

A series of deafening metallic clashing sounds erupted! Sparks flew everywhere!

Those spiritual war blades, capable of smashing tanks, slashed at Su Chen's body without leaving even a white mark! Instead, it shocked the dozen death soldiers so much that the web between their thumbs and forefingers cracked, and their long blades flew out of their hands!

"This is impossible!" The death soldiers' eyes almost popped out.

But Su Chen didn't give them time to think.

He was like an ancient ferocious tiger charging into a flock of sheep, violently killing his way into the crowd!

"Bang!" A punch thrown out! No extra movements, the internal destructive force of the Ryuo exploded instantly!

A high-level Martial Master blocking the front didn't even have time to scream before his sternum collapsed instantly. His heart was shattered into a pulp of meat inside his body! He flew backward while spraying blood, knocking down a large group of people!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The slaughter was played out crazily on the auction stage!

Su Chen's fists were the most terrifying Shinigami hammers in this world! With every punch he threw, the internal destructive power of the Ryuo would instantly tear through the enemy's Protective Aura!

Grazing meant injury, touching meant death! As long as they were touched by his fist, their internal organs would be instantly shattered into powder!

"Ahhhhh!" Miserable screams echoed throughout the entire Underground Black Market.

In just over ten seconds! Just over ten seconds!

The originally magnificent auction stage had completely turned into a Shura slaughterhouse littered with corpses!

Dozens of corpses lay scattered in pools of blood. Fresh blood flowed down the steps of the high platform like a waterfall.

The remaining hundreds of guards and death soldiers were completely terrified. Looking at Su Chen, who stood in the center of the pool of blood like a demon god, they retreated repeatedly, their hands holding the blades trembling violently.

No one dared to take another step forward! This wasn't a battle at all; this was a one-sided massacre!

"Trash! A bunch of trash!" Grand Elder Wang Zhentian was furious on the second floor, "What about the Grandmasters! Attack him!"

The four Grandmaster guards protecting the auction stage looked at each other, gritting their teeth as they prepared to attack together.

But Su Chen had lost interest in playing with them. The item was already in hand, and his goal had been achieved.

"Play next time."

Su Chen shook the blood off his fists, raised his head slightly, and glanced at the thick metal dome above his head.

He chose not to go through the front door.

"Bang!" The muscles in Su Chen's legs tightened to the limit in an instant. The auction stage, made of special stone, collapsed with a boom!

He rose from the ground, turning into a black lightning bolt, rushing straight towards the ceiling dozens of meters high!

"He wants to escape! Above is a dead end!" Grand Elder Wang Zhentian roared.

This Underground Black Market was located a hundred meters underground! Above was a defensive dome made of over ten meters of special concrete and refined steel! Even a Martial King realm powerhouse couldn't smash their way out from above!

But Su Chen used his actions to slap everyone in the face hard.

Mid-air, the upward momentum was about to run out.

In Su Chen's eyes, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun frantically.

"Moonwalk."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Successive terrifying sonic booms exploded under Su Chen's feet!

He didn't use any objects. Instead, he extremely arrogantly and forcefully stomped the air until it exploded!

Borrowing this violent reaction force, Su Chen's speed surged again! Like a black cruise missile flying in reverse, carrying destructive kinetic energy.

He crashed straight into the dozen-meter-thick special concrete dome!

"Armament Haki: Hardening!"

Pitch-black Haki instantly wrapped tightly around Su Chen's entire body.

"Boom—!!!"

A thunderous roar that sounded like the sky falling and the earth collapsing!

Under the horrified, desperate gaze of thousands of big shots, wanted criminals, and Grand Elder Wang Zhentian!

That black market dome, which claimed to be impenetrable even by nuclear bombs, the absolute moment it touched Su Chen's body.

Like a fragile biscuit, a huge hole was violently and forcibly punched through it!

Flying rocks, steel bars, and concrete blocks rained down like a storm onto the auction house below!

"Ah! Run!" The crowd below fell into chaos instantly, countless people holding their heads and fleeing wildly.

And amidst the rolling dust and falling debris.

That black figure wearing a green-faced, fanged demon mask had already soared into the sky along the smashed passage.

Stylish, calm, and completely vanished into the vast night of Kyoto.

Leaving behind only a completely smashed black market. A ground full of corpses.

And, the Wang family's Grand Elder in the second-floor box, vomiting blood in a rage.
