Martial Sage from the Vajra Skill

Chapter 281: Chapter 162: Ferocious Might

BOOM!

The fist tore through the air, producing a sound like muffled thunder and sending out visible ripples.

Xu Yang’s killing intent blazed, his will to fight surging.

Whether it was the matter of the Blood Coagulation Pill or of Xiao Chen, he and the Su Family had long been enemies.

Between him and Su Qiming, only one was destined to leave here alive today. That being the case, they would fight to the death.

His fist punched through the air like a great spear, blasting forward with all his might.

For a moment, the area erupted as if hit by a landslide and a tsunami. Dust billowed, a gale howled, and it felt as though a meteor had crashed into the earth.

"You bastard!"

Seeing Su Jie killed, Su Qiming’s eyes blazed with fury. His own son was already dead, and he had been counting on this disciple to see him through his old age. Now, he too had been killed.

BOOM!

A powerful aura erupted from Su Qiming. His Gang Qi surged like a tide, his hair and beard standing on end. He looked as if he wanted to eat Xu Yang alive.

He was, after all, a Martial Artist who had been at the Marrow Cleansing realm for many years. Even though his status as a Pill Master meant he rarely fought, his reactions were still swift.

In the instant before Xu Yang’s fist reached him, he had already snapped out of his shock and grief. His bones crackled like popping beans as his Gang Qi flared to protect his body.

At the same time, he used his Gang Qi to forcibly set his broken bones, crossing his arms to block the blow.

The next moment, Xu Yang’s golden fist arrived.

BOOM!

It was like two great mountains colliding. The Gang Qi shattered, sending out visible ripples. As the shockwave spread, the ground around the two men was torn up layer by layer, churning like waves of earth.

Su Qiming had been in the Marrow Cleansing realm for years but had never reached Minor Achievement. To make matters worse, he had previously broken his own arm bones under threat.

Furthermore, Xu Yang had been poised to strike, while Su Qiming had responded in haste, unable to unleash his full power. In their first collision, it was ultimately Su Qiming who came out worse.

He felt as if he had been struck by a meteor. His Protective Gang Qi was instantly covered in a dense web of cracks before it violently shattered.

An irresistible force traveled from Xu Yang’s fist, shaking his internal organs. As his blood roiled, he instinctively let out a muffled grunt and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the Gang Qi holding his broken arm together was shattered by the ferocious impact. With a SNAP, his arm twisted like a rope of fried dough and hung limply at his side. Countless blood vessels and meridians must have been torn apart.

"Aaargh..."

The bone-deep agony made Su Qiming, a Pill Master accustomed to a life of comfort, scream in pain as his vision went black.

’Xu Yang’s strength is more terrifying than I imagined. Even if my arm wasn’t broken, he would probably still be a bit stronger than me. That body of his, seemingly cast from gold, not only possesses the frightening power of a wild beast but also has a terrifying, indestructible defense.’

"Ah, so it was you, you bastard, who killed my son."

Su Qiming staggered back, each heavy step leaving a deep crater in the ground, kicking up sprays of dirt as he tried to disperse the force.

It was all clicking into place now. Since Xu Yang had achieved Marrow Cleansing, he would have had the power to kill Su Che.

’That day, Su Che wasn’t killed by the Blazing Blade by accident. It’s clear now—Xu Yang IS the Blazing Blade!’

’The bastard hid himself so well.’

"You’ll be seeing him soon enough."

Xu Yang’s movements were as lithe as a dragon’s. Following like a shadow, he closed the distance on the retreating Su Qiming and threw another punch.

BOOM!

The fist tore through the air with a sound like muffled thunder, kicking up a terrifying gale of Gang Qi. Before the punch even landed, its immense pressure bore down on Su Qiming’s Heart Spirit.

The bone-chilling killing intent sent a shiver down his spine, making his Heart Spirit tremble.

He was, at the end of the day, a Pill Master. For years, the Su Family had treated him like a precious treasure, and as a result, he had little real combat experience.

He could handle opponents with lower Cultivation, but against a monster like Xu Yang—who had killed countless people and whose Evil Qi was so dense it was almost tangible—his courage faltered the moment that aura washed over him.

In terms of both mentality and combat awareness, he was not a qualified Bone Marrow Cleansing Martial Artist.

"HRAAAGH!"

He let out a wild roar to dispel the fear brought on by Xu Yang’s ferocious power and suddenly sidestepped the punch.

His one arm was now completely useless after the last exchange; he no longer dared to clash head-on with Xu Yang.

CRACK!

Xu Yang’s fist grazed his Protective Gang Qi, and cracks instantly webbed across its surface.

A blast of Gang Qi shot out, gouging a large crater in the ground behind him and sending dirt and stone flying.

"Die!"

The thought that Xu Yang had killed both his son and his disciple made a vicious light return to his eyes, completely dispelling his fear.

His fingers bent like an eagle’s talons, as hard as iron picks, as he clawed at the soft spot under Xu Yang’s armpit. The air hissed as it was pierced.

Xu Yang neither dodged nor evaded, simply reinforcing his golden Protective Gang Qi and allowing Su Qiming’s five fingers to strike.

BAM!

As his fingers struck Xu Yang’s Protective Gang Qi, Su Qiming’s expression changed. It felt like striking an iron plate; a terrifying rebound force threatened to shatter his very fingers.

Though his attack tore through the Protective Gang Qi, by the time his fingers made contact with Xu Yang’s skin, they had lost most of their power. They couldn’t possibly harm this Vajra Indestructible body.

’Not good!’

’No wonder Xu Yang didn’t bother dodging. I can’t even hurt him! With only one good hand, my strength is a fraction of what it was.’

But by the time he realized this, it was already too late.

A finger glinting with golden light jabbed in from the side, as fast as lightning and radiating a heart-stopping aura.

Pure Essence Gold-Splitting Finger!

PFFT!

The Finger Force erupted, sharper than any blade, easily piercing Su Qiming’s Protective Gang Qi to strike his flesh.

CRACK!

Su Qiming’s hand trembled and blood splattered. A spiderweb of cracks spread across his wrist, revealing bone as translucent as jade. A thick, mercury-like blood gushed forth.
