Chapter 349 – Both Enemies and Allies Go Mad

In this place, when it came to shamelessness, Pang Hu undoubtedly took the crown.

Despite the blood gushing from his chest and disregarding his own safety, he grabbed a metal rod and began wildly smashing it against the Cremation King’s back.

He was blatantly launching a sneak attack!

Bang, bang, bang!

Surprisingly, each strike actually landed.

In an instant, the Cremation King spun around, his hair bursting into flames, unable to conceal his furious and humiliated expression.

“You brat, are you seeking death?!”

“Death to your ancestors! Let’s see who dies first, you or—”

Whoosh—boom!

But before Pang Hu could finish his sentence, a deafening roar followed, and his entire body transformed into a fiery arc, streaking across the night sky.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Only upon landing did Pang Hu gasp sharply and shout, “This old bastard is too fierce! I can’t hold on!”

The scene that followed, however, showed three figures joining the assault.

They were none other than Gao Qing and Zheng Xiucai, led by Ling Yun.

Seeing this, Pang Hu couldn’t help but rise to his feet, let out a furious roar, and rejoin the fray.

Meanwhile, Ye Kuang was also panting heavily. Not only was his chest dented with several fist marks, but blood streamed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but recall his battles with his Martial Uncle from Kunlun and the Artificer Venerable—clearly, those fights had been far less intense.

At this thought, he muttered to himself, “I thought my current strength would be more than enough to handle the Eight Tycoons. Who knew I’d be proven wrong so quickly?”

“Ye Kuang, what the hell are you spacing out for? I’m about to collapse!”

“Dammit, this old bastard is too strong!”

“Ugh… spurt…”

Regardless of how disheartened Ye Kuang felt, the roars around him never ceased, echoing incessantly.

When he looked up, he saw Pang Hu and Ling Yun both vomiting blood and sent flying backward.

The moment this scene registered in his mind, his hair stood on end, and the suppressed ferocity in his chest surged forth, rushing straight to his head.

Even Gao Qing, caught off guard for a moment, revealed a slight opening.

After all, if even Pang Hu and Ling Yun struggled to withstand the Cremation King’s power, how could the Scholar, without the protection of immortal energy, possibly resist?

It could be said that as the Cremation King grinned viciously and threw a fierce punch toward Zheng Xiucai, even Sophia couldn’t help but pale.

In truth, though everyone wanted to intervene, their limited abilities held them back. They could only shut their eyes, unable to bear witnessing what would happen next.

But at this critical moment, a simultaneous roar and thunderclap erupted in mid-air, drawing everyone’s attention.

They saw Ye Kuang, appearing out of nowhere, standing firmly in front of Gao Qing, blocking the punch head-on before both were sent flying together.

Zheng Xiucai: “Damn you, you wretched old scoundrel! Die, die, die!!”

Amid the overlapping shouts, the Scholar was clearly beside himself with rage.

Seeing this, Sophia abruptly turned and shouted, “All of you, attack together!!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly ran back to the rear chamber.

“Yes!!!”

Howl, howl, howl!

In an instant, the situation descended into utter chaos.

Countless furious roars, unceasing and deafening, shattered the tranquility of the night sky as everyone launched into a frenzied charge.Under the sudden surge of pressure, who would have thought that instead of showing fear, the Cremation King burst into maniacal laughter.

It soon became apparent that as the two bodyguards closed in, the Cremation King snapped their necks with his bare hands.

Watching the slowly falling bodyguards turn to dust beneath the fireworks, everyone present went into a frenzy.

“Cremation, you old bastard! How dare you kill my brothers? I’ll never let this go!”

“Fifth Brother! Seventh Brother! Aaargh…”

“Hahaha, what does it matter if there are many of you? All of you, die!”

In that instant, blood and fire intertwined as everyone, driven to hysterical rage, threw themselves forward one after another without regard for their own lives.

Even Ye Kuang and his companions were no exception.

Falling time and again, only to rise again, they silently demonstrated the bonds of brotherhood.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following three simultaneous thunderous explosions, the Cremation King drew his bow like a full moon and unleashed a series of Cannon Blasts in all four directions.

Gao Qing was instantly sent flying, vomiting blood as he crashed through the warehouse wall.

It had to be said that with his True Qi protecting him, he fared much better than the two bodyguards who had been pulverized.

At that moment, even Ye Kuang and the other three were enraged, roaring as they leaped up to launch another collective assault.

Yet despite the Cremation King’s contempt for these ants, he soon found himself completely overwhelmed.

For he had underestimated the combined might of these frenzied individuals.

Splat!

A spray of crimson blood erupted as countless bloody gashes appeared across his chest and back.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang, Pang Hu, and Ling Yun acted in unison, using their own bodies to block the overwhelming barrage of fists while retaliating with their own strikes.

They were clearly employing a tactic of trading injury for injury!

It was only then that even someone as powerful as the Cremation King grew furious, struggling to fend off the attacks from all sides.

“Damn you vile scum! To force me to such a state! Then let us perish together—mutual destruction!”

“By the name of Cremation, I summon: Poison Blaze Thunderflame Blackflame, Earth Core Cremation Sky!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, two more bodyguards turned to ash, with nowhere to escape.

In that moment, a four-colored flame surged violently, unfurling like a fiery beast in layers.

Pang Hu, witnessing this horrifying scene, fled faster than anyone else.

“Run! That old madman has completely lost it!”

His words struck like thunder, causing the entire building to suddenly collapse into ruins.

Whoosh—Boom!

In an instant, everyone present was buried beneath the widespread debris.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh!

The flames soared skyward, blazing fiercely.

Though the sight was spectacular, it could not conceal the terrifying energy unleashed.

Yet as the wind gently swept over the scarred landscape, the flames vanished as quickly as they had appeared.

The entire scene resembled the aftermath of a missile strike, leaving behind a massive crater.

From a distance, only a charred figure could be seen kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.

“Dead… finally dead. I am the strongest, hahaha… I am the strongest! I am the strongest!!”

Under the night sky, his ears could not block out the waves of maniacal laughter.

It was impossible to tell how much time had passed when the Cremation King lifted his head again, only to reveal that his eyes had turned crimson, with countless crisscrossing blood vessels visibly pulsing across his entire body.
