Martial Sage from the Vajra Skill

Chapter 331: Chapter 186: Forceful (2)

Xu Yang made a decision in an instant, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

The figure behind him was the closest, so naturally, he wouldn’t ignore what was near to pursue what was far and go after the one with the strongest Cultivation.

’First, I’ll deal with the weaker one. Then I can face the strongest with my full power and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.’

After killing these two Bone Marrow Cleansing Martial Artists from the Su Family, the Su Family would be pretty much finished.

A boundless aura surged forth, accompanied by a sound like a roaring river. Xu Yang’s entire body glowed with golden light as he shot out like a bolt of lightning. His physical body tore through the air, creating a deafening boom, and in an instant, he was face to face with Su Jiangong, who was charging at him from behind.

Su Jiangong’s face was a mask of resentment and the savage joy of an impending kill. Before he could even react, Xu Yang’s fist, wrapped in an indomitable and terrifying Force, blasted forward.

"BOOM!"

While not his absolute peak strike, it was still an all-out blow. He poured his entire Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement Cultivation into it, holding back only his two trump cards: the Golden Gang Skill and his Martial Dao Imagery. One could only imagine the power of such a punch.

The air was torn apart with a sharp shriek, forming ripples visible to the naked eye.

Before the fist even landed, the immense pressure had already caused fine cracks to appear on Su Jiangong’s external Protective Gang Qi, which was on the verge of shattering.

"BANG!"

The fist, heavy as a mountain, smashed down. Su Jiangong felt as if he had been struck by a great peak. His Protective Gang Qi was useless, exploding without a hint of resistance.

Under the backlash, his chest also cracked open, revealing a dense network of fractures.

"CRACK!"

Before he had time to scream or even feel terror, Xu Yang’s fist, carrying the force of a landslide, smashed solidly into his already mangled chest.

With a sickening crunch of breaking bones, his chest caved in and then exploded.

His face was still frozen in an expression of glee at the prospect of slaughtering Xu Yang, but the terrifying force of the blow had popped his eyeballs from their sockets, a truly gruesome sight.

Not even a scream was heard. He was killed by a single punch, bits of flesh flying everywhere. He was sent flying backward even faster than he had charged in, and when he landed, he was completely still.

"Second Brother...!"

One can only imagine Su Jianye’s grief as he watched his own brother get beaten to death with a single punch right before his eyes.

His roar was shrill with misery, enough to make any listener’s heart ache and their eyes water. It was a cry tinged with blood.

Su Jianye’s eyes were nearly splitting from rage; he couldn’t accept this outcome.

The three of them had waited here for Xu Yang for two days. They were supposed to be eliminating a future threat to the Su Family, ambushing a great enemy, and seizing a Divine Skill for the family—not marching to their deaths.

But the result before them was that his second brother, who had attacked first, was killed by a single punch from Xu Yang. His chest was blown apart, like an ant being crushed. It happened without so much as a ripple, a silent, instantaneous death.

That was a Martial Artist on the verge of reaching the Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement Realm! Killed in one punch, with no power to resist.

"Second Uncle!" Su Zhe also roared, a mix of shock and fury. His entire body trembled uncontrollably.

That mountain-like pressure swept over them like a monstrous wave. The heavens seemed to thunder, and the earth began to tremble.

It was an illusion, created by the clash between Xu Yang’s aura and his father’s, which shook his Heart Spirit.

His grief was mingled with terror and shock!

’Xu Yang has already reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement! He’s not some novice who just entered the Marrow Cleansing stage.’

’That insidious, despicable bastard! He must have secretly reached Marrow Cleansing long ago.’

"How is this possible..." he couldn’t help but choke out.

People with great talent and powerful backgrounds like Li Chuyang, Jiang Fan, and Du Chuan haven’t even reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement yet. How could Xu Yang have already done it?

’Where did he get so many resources? Does he not have bottlenecks?’

"You damn animal, die!" Su Jianye’s face was murderous, his roar like thunder.

He shot toward Xu Yang like a streak of blood-red light, radiating killing intent.

’Xu Yang has already reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement. If I don’t kill him today, there will be no other chance. The Su Family will just have to wait for him to annihilate us.’

"You’re the ones who are going to die. Once I slaughter you today, the Su Family can wait for its doom."

Specks of gold appeared on his body, rapidly spreading to cover him completely.

Golden Gang Skill!

He immediately activated his Golden Gang Skill, unleashing a boundless pressure as he too charged fiercely toward Su Jianye.

This was an expert who had been cultivating in the Minor Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing for many years. He was not comparable to someone like Xiao Hua, who had only broken through recently. He could not be underestimated.

"BOOM!"

The earth beneath Xu Yang’s feet exploded. The surging aura kicked up a wave of dirt as he vanished like an arrow loosed from a bow.

He sped forward, skimming the ground and carving a trench in his wake. The momentum was terrifying as his fist, which looked as if it were cast from solid gold, punched through the air and shot forward with wind-shattering force.

"BANG!"

Fist met palm. The golden and crimson Gang Qi collided, creating a deafening boom and a shockwave visible to the naked eye.

"BANG! BANG..."

Terrifying cracks spread across the ground with the two of them at the center. A dragon of dust and smoke shot into the sky, shrouding their figures.

"Hmph!"

Thirty feet away, the shockwave shredded Su Zhe’s Protective True Qi. His chest felt as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer. He coughed up a mouthful of blood as his body was thrown backward like a sack of grain, his face a mask of horror.

A Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement Martial Artist was this terrifying! He was over ten meters away, yet he was still injured by the aftershocks of their clash.

If he hadn’t stopped in his tracks so quickly, he might have been shaken to death.

"Father, kill that animal! You absolutely cannot let him live!" Su Zhe roared while still in mid-air.

His courage had been utterly shattered by Xu Yang’s talent.

’To reach Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement so quickly, his talent must be above that of Li Chuyang and the others. Breaking through to the Celestial Essence Realm will definitely not be too difficult for him. If a person like this lives, he and the Su Family will die sooner or later.’

"BANG! BANG!"

Suddenly, in his vision, two figures burst through the cloud of dust, both flying backward.

It was Xu Yang and Su Jianye. The Gang Qi around both of them fluctuated violently, and their auras were unstable.

"How is this possible!" Su Zhe cried out.

His father, Su Jianye, had reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement ten years ago. Although he hadn’t reached Marrow Cleansing Great Success, he wasn’t far off.

But in this clash with Xu Yang, not only did he fail to suppress him, he was even knocked back.

’Even if Xu Yang has reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement, how can he be this strong?’

’It’s that Cultivation Technique for cultivating Golden Gang Qi!’

In an instant, he understood why Xu Yang was so powerful. It was definitely because of that Cultivation Technique for Golden Gang Qi that Xu Yang could contend with his father, Su Jianye.

"The technique you’re cultivating is the Golden Gang Skill!" Su Jianye suppressed his roiling aura, his eyes flashing with a brilliant light.

The Vajra Indestructible Body, the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Technique, and the Golden Gang Skill were all Superior Techniques for cultivating Golden Gang Qi, but the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Technique didn’t turn the body golden.

Although the Vajra Indestructible Body could also make the body appear as if cast in gold, it had one very distinct feature: when the technique was activated, the body would increase in size.

Only the Golden Gang Skill allowed the body to remain its original size after activation.

In that moment, his eyes filled with greed.

Of these three Cultivation Techniques for Golden Gang Qi, the Golden Gang Skill wasn’t necessarily the strongest, but it was definitely the easiest to master.

This was because the Golden Gang Skill did not have high requirements for talent. One only needed to cultivate it for years on end to inevitably reach Great Success and cultivate Golden Gang Qi.

The Vajra Indestructible Body and the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Technique, however, had very high talent requirements; not everyone was qualified to practice them.

To a powerful family with a large population, this kind of tyrannical technique with no cultivation threshold was far more important than anything else.

They had the people and the time; they had no need to worry about being unable to master it.

"You still want my Golden Gang Skill?" Xu Yang’s eyes flashed with a brilliant light.

’The Su Family made a move on me... I’m afraid greed was a factor as well.’

"BOOM!"

His legs stomped a large crater into the ground, and Xu Yang vanished like an arrow loosed from its string.

His bones and tendons roared, fresh blood surging like a dragon. The great dragon of his spine bent like a Divine Bow, and all the Force in his body twisted into a single strand. The Golden Gang Qi solidified into a tangible Fist Gang, which he blasted out once more like a meteor.

A fierce wind swept out, kicking up a sheet of dirt that flew toward Su Jianye along with his fist.

"A Divine Skill like this is not something a mud-legged peasant like you deserves to possess! Heaven is merely using your hands to pass it to my Su Family!" Su Jianye roared, his killing intent boiling like water.

The surging aura had long since shattered the Conical Hat that concealed his face, revealing the slightly twisted features of a middle-aged man.

He strode forward, blasting out a barrage of Fist Seals that enveloped Xu Yang.
