Chapter 168 The Black Demon Devouring Heart Technique.
The Laughing Monk of West Ridge vaulted over a hundred feet in a single leap and instantly appeared beside Leander, as if the distance simply vanished beneath his feet.
The moment their palms collided, a thunderous boom echoed across the plaza. The sheer force of their clash tore through the ground within dozens of feet, sending debris flying in every direction and reducing the space to ruin.
At the point where their arms clashed, a ring of visible energy rippled outward. Even though Sean and the others were standing far away, they still felt a fierce gust of wind blast against them.
Compared to the Laughing Monk’s earlier clash with Sean and the others, this strike was on an entirely different level. With just one blow, nearly half of the plaza–spanning tens of yards- was reduced to rubble.
Sean, Elena, Silas, and Celina were all elite martial artists listed on the Astria Power Index. Yet, they couldn’t help but exchange solemn looks. Though they had reached the Martial Sovereign Realm, the difference between them and Leander or the Laughing Monk was simply vast. The two stood in a league entirely their own.
“Master Elena, the Laughing Monk was over a hundred feet away from Jeff just now. How did he close the distance in a single step p>
Claire’s eyes sparkled with astonishment as she asked the question.
“That’s the Laughing Monk’s signature move–the teleportation technique p>
Elena explained, “It’s said to be a technique passed down through the Harmony Sect. It’s actually a highly advanced movement technique. Once used, it allows the user to cover a large distance in an instant. When mastered thoroughly, the user can cross hundreds of feet in a single step. The founder of the Harmony Sect, Mr. Tobias Zane, was famed for his wind–like speed. He was rumored to be able to travel miles within a second. That’s how thoroughly he had mastered the teleportation technique p>
Claire and Serena both looked stunned. Even if the legend of crossing miles within a second was just a myth, it still spoke volumes about how terrifying the teleportation technique truly
was.
The Laughing Monk was already an immensely powerful martial master. On top of that, he had mastered such a mysterious movement technique. His combat strength was nearly beyond comprehension.
The Laughing Monk’s gaze faltered for a moment. That earlier strike had essentially been a surprise attack, yet Leander had blocked it with ease.

As their energies collided, the Laughing Monk once again felt the bottomless inner strength within Leander’s body–and a chill ran through him.
This kid’s inner strength is insane!
While the Laughing Monk reeled in shock, Leander suddenly grinned. “A sneak attack? Hardly a noble move, don’t you think p>

With a drop of his shoulder and a crisp crack from his joints, Leander made another strike. Immediately, the Laughing Monk felt a torrent of force erupt from Leander’s palm–like a volcanic eruption bursting outward.
The Laughing Monk’s expression shifted slightly as his foot slammed down hard, sending a shockwave through the ground. A ten–yard–long fissure split open, stretching all the way to the edge of the plaza. His inner strength surged violently in the process.
Where their palms met, a swirl of blue and green energy intertwined. The entire Silvermoon Abode–several acres wide–trembled violently as if rocked by an earthquake.
As their powers collided, the surrounding disciples of the Silvermoon Sect felt their blood stir and churn. Had it not been for Sean and Elena’s protective barrier, many would have collapsed on the spot, coughing up blood.
“Hmph
Leander smiled faintly at the corner of his lips. The Laughing Monk’s inner strength was indeed formidable and stronger than both Grayson and Tsaric. But to him, it simply wasn’t enough.
A pale blue glow surged along his arm as his strength erupted. Witnessing this, the Laughing Monk’s expression immediately darkened, and he was forced to break contact with Leander’s palm
Driven back by the force of Leander’s ferocious strike, the Laughing Monk staggered several yards, leaving three shallow half–inch footprints in the ground before he finally steadied
But just as he caught his balance, a fresh surge of force descended from above–Leander had already launched himself into the air, his fist hurtling down from the sky.
A massive pale blue coergy are spanning several yards slammed downward like a silver spear, slicing the air apart standing below, the Laughing Monk crossed his arms and channeled all his energy into one hand, thrusting it upward
Gasps spread among the crowd as a massive palm imprint rose from the ground, sealing the space above the Laughing Monk’s head and colliding with the descending fist.

The Laughing Monk took Leander’s punch head–on with a bang. The ground beneath him collapsed, leaving a half–foot–deep crater. A flush spread across his cheeks, and his arms trembled violently–he was clearly shaken by the sheer pressure of Leander’s strike.
He had used eighty percent of his inner strength in the earlier strike. But as soon as their energies collided, he felt Leander’s fist come crashing down like a flood, a roaring tidal wave meant to obliterate everything in its path.
He was certain–such a level of power was beyond anything he had ever known.
Taking that punch had pushed him to his absolute limit.
How the hell did this kid train? Even if he started in the womb, it hasn’t even been twenty years!
Struggling beneath the crushing pressure, the Laughing Monk’s thoughts raced, his heart trembling with growing dread.
“Laughing Monk, how many more punches can you take from me p>
Leander wore a playful smile as he gathered energy in his palm. With a leap, he soared into the air again, his right fist pulling back in preparation for another strike.
This punch carried no inner strength at all–just the raw power of his physical body.
The pressure on the Laughing Monk vanished for an instant. Just as he tried to catch his breath, another crushing force descended.
This punch was even faster and heavier than the last.
“How could he generate such explosive power with just his physical body? What kind of monster is this kid p>
A chill ran down the Laughing Monk’s spine. He no longer dared to take the strike head–on. With a burst of movement, he rocketed from the crater like a cannonball.
Leander’s fist landed squarely in the center of the pit. It was like a giant’s punch smashing into the earth, and dust and rocks flew in all directions.
The Laughing Monk retreated another ten yards, putting distance between them. His face had turned completely grim.
Leander’s strength was beyond anything he could have imagined.
“Jeff really lived up to his name… The Laughing Monk is completely overwhelmed by his
strikes p>

Claire and Serena exchanged glances, the awe in their eyes visible.

Even the famed Skyare Duo wouldn’t have lasted ten moves against the Laughing Monk, yet Leander seemed to handle him with ease, like a cat toying with its prey. Every one of his strikes -whether fist or palm–left the Laughing Monk utterly outmatched.
“Back at Glidewing Mountain, Jeff took Tsaric’s suicidal strike head–on using only his body. His physical resilience was already leagues beyond Grayson, who had long mastered the Immortal Diamond Skin technique. And now… it’s clear he’s even more terrifying than the rumors said p>
Sean shook his head with a bitter smile. He had been a well–known figure in the Astria martial world for over a decade, yet a junior several decades younger had completely outclassed him. The humiliation was hard to swallow.
As for the Skyarc duo, Silas and Celina were both filled with disbelief. They had experienced the strength of the Laughing Monk’s palm techniques firsthand, and they knew how terrifying it was. Yet Leander had emerged from a head–on clash with him unharmed. Not only that, but Leander also appeared to hold the upper hand as well. They could not fathom how powerful Leander’s inner strength must have been to achieve that.
Leander slowly walked out from the cloud of smoke and dust, looking completely unscathed.
“Laughing Monk, your martial arts cultivation is only a notch above Grayson and Tsaric. I honestly don’t understand how you ever managed to dominate the Astria martial world back in the day p>
Leander gave a faint shake of his head, a trace of disappointment flashing across his face. Fresh chapters posted on.net
Upon hearing that, the Laughing Monk’s pupils contracted. A dark, boiling fury surged in his
eyes.
He didn’t respond. Instead, his fingers curled slightly, and a swirl of thick black energy burst out between his hands. In that instant, a wave of killing intent blanketed the space around him.
Sean’s expression grew intensely grave, and he exclaimed in shock. “This is… the Black Demon Devouring Heart p>
