Chapter 646: Chapter 356
After putting on an act, Xue Jing casually waved his hand, and a black current converged into a Shadow Flame, lunging at the head that was all Shen Tuguang had left.
The pitch-black flame, deep as a black hole, annihilated the Ultimate Breaker’s divine body, eroding his last vestiges of Life Force.
Even in the face of death, Shen Tuguang’s expression showed no regret; his furious eyes, through the flickering Dark Flame, were fixed unyieldingly on Xue Jing.
It appeared as though, should he be able to move, he would surely leap up to bite onto Xue Jing.
“Just like a rabid dog.”
Xue Jing shook his head.
...
Even as an Ultimate Breaker, with most of his body gone, his Life Force was also diminishing, and although he could momentarily cling to life despite only his head remaining, under the effects of the Shadow Flame, he quickly lost his life force.

Within a cascade of prompts, a pop-up on the panel gave Xue Jing a jolt of substantial gains!
The five-digit regular skill experience gains aside.
Divinity, five digits, fifteen thousand!
This was an unprecedentedly vast quantity of Divinity collected, and from a single person no less!
Now, with his own original reserves, Xue Jing’s held Divinity had broken through twenty thousand.
“As expected of an Ultimate Breaker brought forth through infusion of Divine Factors… Pity, if only you could spew out all the Divine Factors you’ve used up, the haul would definitely have been even larger.”
Xue Jing voiced his slightly dissatisfied regret.
The bottle of Divine Factor that the Cease-Blades commander had hidden in her room, which was only a small bottle, let Xue Jing gain over six thousand Divinity.
The amount spent to cultivate a person to the Ultimate Breakthrough level was surely far more than what was in that small bottle.
The process of modifying one’s body definitely wasn’t 100% efficient in utilizing Divine Factors, resulting in many needless losses… Otherwise, the spoils from killing Shen Tuguang would have been more than fifteen thousand.
But it was still enough for Xue Jing to feel exhilarated.
Even his body, almost drained from the Continuous Serious Punches, felt as if it had been moistened by a timely rain, far more comfortable.
This time he had truly exhausted all his effort.
Without holding anything back, he released the highest output he was capable of at the moment.
Although [True Red] could integrate all his Divine Skills into physical strength, because of the existence of the Two-faced God Child and having the strongest Burst Skill, the Infinite Spiral, Xue Jing’s ultimate performance was still best in his normal state.
[True Red] had the advantage of endurance; as long as he didn’t want to turn it off, he could keep it activated indefinitely, while the explosive peak of the Infinite Spiral was immense but only for a momentary output.
Xue Jing closed his eyes and internally assessed his body’s condition.
The situation was not good.
Although it looked like only his hands had skin peeled off revealing the bone, on the inside everything was a mess, and the operation of his organs had almost ceased.
His Life Force was almost entirely depleted, barely hanging by a thread, unable to even mend the flesh of his palms.
Though the process had been smooth, this was by far the most wretched victory he ever had since he had started his journey.
If it hadn’t been for the fortuitous gain of a Cannibal Flower seed in the Steel Tree Sea, which applied a defense-weakening debuff on Shen Tuguang, he might have had to make an embarrassing escape.
While he wouldn’t have died, it was still infuriating.
Even though he had won in the end, Xue Jing was now at his weakest point, and anyone like Zhou Yinglin could easily take him down.
“Are you alright?”
Li Suisui stepped forward and asked Xue Jing.
“Do I look like I’m alright?” Xue Jing replied with a smile as usual:
“Brother Sui, you could easily capture or kill me now.”
Li Suisui crossed his arms and shook his head.
“Stabbing a teammate who has just fought side by side with me to the utmost of his strength in the back—I’m still a kid, and I can’t do such a thing yet.
“And also…”
Li Suisui glanced at Xue Jing.
“A person like you isn’t a reckless fool who rushes forward without looking back… With me not being a fully trustworthy ally, it’s impossible for you to leave such a huge flaw unfended. You must have a contingency plan.”
“If I really strike at you now, the consequences won’t be very nice.”
Having witnessed the scene where Xue Jing had pummeled the Ultimate Breaker to death with a storm of punches, Li Suisui’s vigilance towards Xue Jing’s strength had been set to the highest. Even now, despite his apparent weakness, Li Suisui dared not underestimate him.
Xue Jing smiled: “Smart kid.”
If Li Suisui really dared to make a move, then Xue Jing would admit his judgment had been wrong, that he had befriended someone not worth befriending.
What would await the naughty kid then would be a big surprise.
He wasn’t cheating; he was merely a follower of Brother Chun.
“Mr. Xue!”
A Cease-Blades member clad in a Tactical Suit came down from an aircraft, jogged over to Xue Jing, and saluted.
His face was full of awe; as someone who had watched the battle from start to finish, his reverence and fear for Xue Jing had peaked.
That was ‘Lion Eye’ Shen Tuguang…
One of the core members of Cease-Blades, independent of all squads, answering only to the commander and two other personages.
Though his strength wasn’t widely publicized, it was very well known within the Cease-Blades, having completed myriad highly difficult missions.
And yet, he was bested by Mr. Xue—beaten to death, just like that…
“Take Yuantai and head back first; I’ve still got some things to handle here.”
