Chapter 121: Slash! Slash! Slash!
Hailian Xuezhen, with a head full of silver hair, stood tall and robust. His bulging muscles strained against his thick martial armor, and his sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, fixed intently on Su Jingxing. In a deep voice, he spoke, “I don’t know who you are, nor do I wish to. But since we’re both at the fourth rank, consider this a friendly reminder: the Shi family is not as simple as you think.”
Su Jingxing was momentarily silent. Then, calm and composed, he replied, “Thank you for the warning. However, I have already made up my mind.”
“Very well,” Hailian Xuezhen sighed softly. “In that case, I will exert my utmost strength to kill you swiftly, so you won’t have to endure too much suffering!”
Before the word ‘suffering’ had left his mouth, a dazzling burst of light suddenly erupted from Hailian Xuezhen’s body.
Crackling and popping sounds filled the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was as if thunder had descended upon the world, lightning splitting the sky.
Countless thick bolts of lightning abruptly blossomed, radiating out from Hailian Xuezhen’s center, bouncing and darting about, instantly enveloping the entire arena.
At that moment, the arena seemed bathed in a net of thunder and lightning, with hundreds of electric serpents writhing wildly, filling every corner.
Not only the surface of the arena but the entire space within thirty meters above it was permeated by these lightning serpents.
The terrifying force of burning and tearing slammed against the barricades, causing them to shake and hum uncontrollably.
Faced with such a widespread assault, Su Jingxing found himself unable to dodge in time, being struck directly by powerful currents of this electric force.
Yet this was but a fleeting moment of sharp pain, quickly neutralized.
Simultaneously, he realized what this electricity truly was—not actual electric arcs or currents but true energy, a form of thunderous true qi!
Much like the Earth-Stepping True Qi, which is characterized by weight.
Thunder True Qi, while not genuine lightning, bore the attribute of thunder and lightning. The emitted true qi possessed similar destructive and burning powers.
It burned, it tore, it ravaged!
This kind of true qi was ideal for wide-area coverage, something ordinary martial artists could hardly withstand.
Though not actual lightning, its overwhelming tearing and destructive force could easily shatter the physiques of typical warriors. Even martial artists focused on physical refinement, if not highly advanced, would be overwhelmed.
Su Jingxing’s physique had reached the peak of human limits, enabling him to endure it.
But prolonged exposure to this thunderous true qi was uncomfortable and unsustainable.
Given enough time, even the body at human limits would suffer irreparable damage.
Therefore, Su Jingxing decisively drew out his last remaining Golden Body Card, pressed it against his palm, and silently activated it, infusing its power into himself.
The terrifying defense of the Red-Scaled Porcupine was instantly bestowed upon him.
The thunderous true qi wielded by Hailian Xuezhen was instantly blocked, granting Su Jingxing ten minutes of immunity from bodily destruction.
Those ten minutes were undoubtedly the window for Su Jingxing to unleash his full strength!
Crackling.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dreadful thunderous true qi, controlled by Hailian Xuezhen, engulfed the entire arena, relentlessly striking Su Jingxing.
The old man’s silver hair fluttered backward as if blown by an unseen wind.
Lightning-like radiance burst forth from his palms, mouth, and eyes.
Terrifying thunderclaps rolled in wave after wave. The alloy floor beneath them cracked under the relentless onslaught.
At this moment, Hailian Xuezhen seemed like the legendary God of Thunder, unleashing apocalyptic bolts, continuously suppressing and seeking to annihilate Su Jingxing!
Whoosh—
Boom!
Surrounded by the protective energy of the Golden Body Card, Su Jingxing launched a counterattack in an instant.
With the "Eight Steps Rising Dragon" technique brought to perfection, his agile and graceful movements carried him to Hailian Xuezhen’s front in less than two breaths.
Face to face, a hundred-thousand-pound force erupted as he unleashed the "Three Origins Blade Technique: Human Origin Chapter," striking directly at Hailian Xuezhen.
“Against the Wind Slash!”
“River-Sweeping Army Slash!”
“Dominant Dragon King Slash!”
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
No true qi was used, for it would be nullified by the thunder true qi.
Su Jingxing relied purely on his physical strength, amplified by the power of the Three Origins Blade Technique, pounding against the stunned Hailian Xuezhen.
Because Su Jingxing moved too swiftly, the blade’s gleam appeared only when Hailian Xuezhen realized Su Jingxing stood before him.
By the time he reacted and prepared to strike, the weapon bearing a hundred-thousand pounds of force had already cleaved at the right side of his neck.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The weapon radiated light, delivering three consecutive strikes, each heavier and more terrifying than the last, cutting deep into Hailian Xuezhen’s right neck.
Accompanied by muffled thuds, Hailian Xuezhen’s head jerked left, his entire body sinking toward the ground.
After the third strike, he knelt, sprawled on the floor.
A visible wound on his neck bled openly into the air.
This was the result of his semi-transparent protective armor formed by the vast thunder true qi he controlled.
Without this true qi armor, his head would have been severed long ago.
The force was immense!
Each of Su Jingxing’s strikes weighed tens of thousands of pounds, each blow shaking Hailian Xuezhen to his core.
Innate divine strength?
Su Jingxing indeed possessed innate divine strength!
Only this could explain why, in his previous duel, he relied purely on brute force, and now again, his combat was an exhibition of raw power.
It was as if his physical strength was inexhaustible, boundless.
Such a physique was the hallmark of innate divine strength, capable of unleashing terrifying might over prolonged periods.
Su Jingxing never pondered his physical limits; however, he had undoubtedly cultivated corresponding body-refining martial arts.
Otherwise, his body would not have withstood the earlier thunder true qi bombardment.
This wide-area thunder true qi attack was one of Hailian Xuezhen’s trump cards.
Usually, once unleashed, few could endure it, even those at the fourth rank.
Only body-refining warriors could resist for about half a minute.
Su Jingxing’s innate divine strength, combined with his specialized body-tempering martial arts, essentially neutralized this ability!
This realization filled Hailian Xuezhen with anger and fear, forcing him to abandon restraint.
“Die…”
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blade light blazed, thunderous rumbles echoing throughout the arena.
Su Jingxing allowed no respite for Hailian Xuezhen. Before the latter could counterattack, Su Jingxing pushed the Three Origins Blade Technique to its extreme.
Unmatched speed combined with unparalleled power.
His strikes frenziedly targeted the wounded neck of Hailian Xuezhen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air exploded with sound as countless surges of energy burst forth.
Dozens, even hundreds of blows rained down per second.
Hailian Xuezhen’s mind went blank as the uncontrollable thunder true qi wildly bounced around.
His protective true qi armor had already been shattered and could no longer withstand such rapid, fierce assaults.
In less than three seconds, a sharp crack resounded as his neck was severed.
Hailian Xuezhen’s head, still showing a trace of terror, was flung high into the air!
