**Chapter 1279: My Limit? Not For Long**
At this moment, Jiangnan's body was wreathed in a haze of blood mist!
Two of his own arms, plus blood-red vine arms studded with bone spikes!
His form was incredibly ferocious and twisted!
Transformed into an eight-armed Asura demon god, his aura surged even stronger!
Rode: !!!
What the hell?
Jiangnan also had eight arms?
Jiangnan spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his eyes utterly wild.
"Want to fight fists? I'm game! Whoever chickens out is a coward!"
"Come on!"
As he spoke, his eight fists shot out like cannonballs, viciously slamming into every part of Rode's body!
The bones running through the vine arms gave them powerful support!
The Small Whip was already Diamond-rank, and with the critical boost from the Green Stick, plus Jiangnan's Blood Incineration...
At this moment, Jiangnan was undoubtedly in his strongest form yet!
The fake booze took hold; he feared nothing!
Rode roared back, "Afraid of you? Let's go!"
With that, his eight fists also shot out like heavy cannons!
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Two men? Sixteen fists!
A full-on clash—no defense, no dodging!
Only flesh-and-blood resistance, pure frontal assault!
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Each punch carried enough force to level a small hill!
And Jiangnan threw hundreds of punches a second!
His bloody iron fists rained down like hail on Rode's body!
The bone spikes on his knuckles tore through flesh; every punch drew blood!
While unleashing a frantic output, he was also healing his own wounds!
Meanwhile, Rode's fists grew suckers as well.
Each time he landed a punch on Jiangnan, he drained blood and spiritual energy in return!
The two traded blows to the limit, madly sucking each other dry!
The savage force of their punches blasted all the seawater within a hundred meters away!
Before it could surge back, it was blown apart again!
Beneath Jiangnan's feet, vine roots burrowed deep into the ground, keeping him balanced so Rode couldn't knock him flying!
And Rode's suckers clung to the ground, anchoring himself as he fought Jiangnan to the death!
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
The dull thuds of their fists rang out like firecrackers. Both glared and roared, neck tendons bulging, completely ignoring the state of their bodies!
Like merciless punching machines, they went all out, blood splattering everywhere!
Rode's eyes were filled with shock. He could feel his bones cracking, his internal organs about to be crushed!
The speed of healing was far slower than the speed of injury!
Yet Jiangnan only grew fiercer with each blow. Even though he was being hit hundreds of times a second...
How could his fists be so heavy?
*BOOM!*
With an explosive blast, Rode coughed up a mouthful of blood, even shreds of lung tissue came out!
His suckers lifted from the ground, and it looked like he was about to be sent flying!
By now, Jiangnan was a bloody mess. After taking so many hits, his body was nearly beaten to a pulp!
His vine arms had burst countless times, but they healed in an instant!
"Running? You're not going anywhere!"
**"Myriad-Force Curse Array!"**
In an instant, a ten-meter curse array formed, slamming Rode heavily to the ground!
Jiangnan directly mounted him, his eight iron fists stained with blood, swinging ferociously!
**"Eight-Armed Asura • Gatling Cannon Barrage!"**
"Ora ora ora—!"
At this moment, Jiangnan's eight arms became blurs, rapidly pounding Rode, who was pinned to the ground and couldn't move!
Every punch was amplified by ten-thousand-fold gravity!
Rode was completely stunned; the arms he used to defend were broken, and his face took who knows how many hits!
*Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!*
A hundred-meter pit appeared on the ground. With each punch, the pit expanded a little!
It was like drilling a hole into the Blue Star!
Seawater burst in all directions!
Rode vomited blood, desperately throwing punches to try to blast Jiangnan off!
But Jiangnan countered with even greater ferocity!
"Think you can take a beating? Think you can drain blood? Well, I can take even more! Drain even more!"
"Limits exist to be broken! Today, I'm crushing you head-on!"
"Transcend the limit! Charge forward without hesitation! I, Jiangnan, am no weaker than you!"
With a thunderous blast!
The seabed collapsed, and red-hot magma erupted from the cracked fissures, like blooming hellfire lotuses!
And Jiangnan stood right at the center of the blooming flower!
Rode: !!!
Was Jiangnan planning to beat him to death right here?
At this moment, his heart was consumed by fear!
"Save me! Hurry! If I die, none of you close-combat guys can hold him off!"
Tuna panicked. Turning into a water current, he charged straight at Jiangnan!
But just then, Jiangnan turned his head and glared viciously at Tuna!
What kind of look was that?
It was filled with brutality, murderous intent! As cold and ruthless as a hunting beast!
Like two blood-red steel blades piercing straight into his soul!
Tuna's body froze involuntarily, a feeling of fear welling up inside him!
"Get! Lost!"
Six spatial barriers sliced through the seawater, slashing out and forcing Tuna back over a thousand meters!
At this moment, no one dared approach Jiangnan as he savagely beat Rode!
It seemed just as Jiangnan had said—fear would be their only privilege!
Meanwhile, the netizens in the livestream chat were absolutely losing it!
"Holy crap! How strong is he? Going fist-to-fist with Rode the Ten-Thousand-Slayer and not losing? This guy's a space system? With a body made of iron?"
"Diamond rank, yet his physical toughness is at least on par with Starlight-rank Rode? Is he even human? Eight-Armed Asura? Damn!"
"Because humans have limits, so Jiangnan gave up being human? This is insane! I'm so hyped I just punched my deskmate!"
"Don't forget, Jiangnan still has Omega contained! No proof needed—I think Jiangnan is already the World's Strongest Diamond!"
Messages scrolled by, completely covering the screen. You couldn't watch without blocking them!
And the comments begging to give the cameraman a raise never stopped!
The Pioneer Academy classroom was in an uproar; the roar of "Nan Shen is OP!" could even be heard on the playground!
Li Bing was so shocked that her lollipop fell onto the desk!
Eight-Armed Asura? A combination of Vine Martial and Spirit Muscle Jade Bone used like that?
I never thought of that! You're a genius, little brother Jiangnan!
Alpha was getting anxious. If this kept up, it wouldn't work!
Omega had been trapped in the Time-Space Corridor for who knows how long!
"Tuna! Get ready! Blast him out of the wormhole's skill range! Omega has to be freed! Otherwise, we can't suppress Jiangnan!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and flicked!
**"Mirror of Self-Restraint!"**
In the gap between Jiangnan's rapid punches, a mirror suddenly separated Jiangnan and Rode!
The mirror reflected Jiangnan's image!
Jiangnan punched, and his reflection punched too!
*Crack!*
His fist shattered the mirror, and the reflection's punch force burst out all at once along with the breaking shards!
It slammed heavily into Jiangnan's chest, blasting him away!
Jiangnan: !!!
Alpha's ability was tricky!
No wonder he'd reached Starlight—everyone had some special trick!
Just as Jiangnan was blasted away, Tuna's water-current waves slammed heavily into him!
His body was swept several thousand meters away by the current!
He accidentally left the wormhole's skill range!
The wormhole vanished, and Omega, trapped in the time-space corridor, was finally released!
His anger was boiling over!
**"High-Energy Laser Jet!"**
A red laser beam, seventy or eighty meters wide, shot straight at Jiangnan!
Jiangnan didn't dodge; he charged straight toward the laser!
Rode, barely clinging to life, was terrified!
"No! Don't!"
He looked down at his own battered body, covered in hideous fist marks!
Where the hell had Jiangnan left that spatial mark?
Frantic, Rode kept cutting off his own limbs in a desperate act of self-mutilation!
But the voice he dreaded most still came!
**"Spatial... Displacement!"**
The next second, Rode—down to his last breath—appeared directly in front of the laser beam, bathed in the crimson light, welcoming death!
[From Rode: Resentment +1001!]
*BOOM!*
His charred lower half drifted into the sea, clearly dead beyond dead!
And Jiangnan appeared right where Rode had been!
But Omega had anticipated this!
**"Light Prison of the Firmament • Iron Maiden!"**
Crimson laser pillars descended around Jiangnan, trapping him!
Meanwhile, Alpha coordinated with Omega's skill!
He deployed a Mirror Lake, reflecting Jiangnan's image, freezing him in place!
Jiangnan couldn't teleport now!
Inside the light prison, long, narrow spikes formed from laser pillars, shooting toward Jiangnan!
Jiangnan opened space wormholes in front, behind, left, and right, redirecting the light attacks!
But light pillars also came from above!
He stacked six spatial barriers to resist the laser pillars!
However, the high-energy laser beams were extremely powerful—far beyond what the spatial barriers could block!
Soon, the barriers melted and were pierced through!
The leaked red laser shot straight into Jiangnan's shoulder!
It pierced through instantly, blood gushing out!
Even so, Jiangnan was still firmly bound by the Mirror Lake, unable to move, coughing up blood!
Omega had used Rode's life to set this deadly trap—vicious indeed!
Having suffered from the Time-Space Corridor before, Omega didn't dare recklessly charge in his light body form again; instead, he killed from a distance!
Just a moment ago, Jiangnan had the upper hand, and now he was plunged into a great crisis!
Omega narrowed his eyes. "Without a blood bag to suck, you can't maintain your state! You used up most of your blood fighting Rode just now!"
"I should really thank him! I must admit, you're indeed strong!"
"But a gap is a gap—something you can't make up no matter how hard you try!"
"I've seen your limit. It ends here. No matter how strong you get, you can't surpass me! Hand over the Origin Staff, and I'll let you live!"
Jiangnan sneered, completely unconcerned about his body being pierced by the laser!
Under the effect of the Green Stick, he felt no pain!
"Whether I live or die isn't up to you. Even Meng Po can't take me; I smashed her bowl. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Are you sure you've really seen my limit?"
"My limit was here just now... but it won't be for long!"
As he spoke, his alternate dimension opened, and a gleaming, translucent Dao Heaven-rank space spirit bead fell out!
Jiangnan bit down on it!
The next second, Jiangnan's wild aura exploded, overwhelming the heavens!
