Martial Sage from the Vajra Skill

Chapter 333: Chapter 187: Unparalleled (Part 2)

RUMBLE...

The Saber Gang slashed into the ground, shaking the earth and instantly carving a gash dozens of feet long. Acrid smoke rose as the golden Saber Qi sliced through the ground as if it were tofu.

A grave expression appeared in Su Jianye’s eyes. ’This strike is even more ferocious than the last.’

"Slash!"

Xu Yang’s gaze was electric, his wild hair whipping about. His magnificent, golden-cast physique strode forward as he raised his hands high and slashed down at Su Jianye once more.

The razor-sharp Saber Intent seemed poised to shatter the very heavens. A strange energy seemed to flow through the air as a torrent of golden Gang Qi surged forth.

’Let’s see how much Gang Qi you have to burn!’ Su Jianye sneered inwardly, deciding not to clash head-on with Xu Yang.

The moment Xu Yang’s Gang Qi was depleted would be his chance to take him down.

"Not good!"

Just as he was about to dodge, his expression changed drastically. He felt the earth tremble beneath his feet, as if something terrifying was about to burst forth.

BOOM!

The next moment, a golden Saber Gang tore through the soil, slashing up from underground.

Earth Demon Six Harmonies Saber!

At the same time, golden Saber Gangs slashed toward him from above, behind, and both sides, sealing off all his escape routes.

’Earth Demon Six Harmonies Saber?’

Su Jianye’s pupils contracted violently, and a chill ran down his spine. Xu Yang was like a venomous snake lurking beneath the water; there was no telling how many tricks he had up his sleeve.

He hadn’t used this Saber Technique, which had already reached the Earth Demon Six Harmonies Realm, during the Outer Disciple tournament. Unleashing it now caught Su Jianye completely off guard, leaving him no choice but to raise his Protective Gang Qi and take the hits.

BOOM! BOOM...

He only had time to shatter the Saber Gang coming at him from the front before the rest descended with the force of a thunderbolt, tearing through his Protective Gang Qi.

Su Jianye’s entire body shook as if struck by a mountain. Gashes opened up all over him, splattering blood and revealing bone as white as jade.

Fortunately, he was a Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement Martial Artist with meticulous control over his body. With a mere thought, he staunched the bleeding from his wounds, but he couldn’t hide his wretched state.

’Father is injured! How can this peasant be so powerful?’

Su Zhe sucked in a sharp breath, his pupils contracting violently.

Su Jianye’s wounds weren’t fatal, but they were by no means light. Though the blows had been stopped by bone and he had staunched the bleeding, if the fight continued, his injuries would surely worsen.

He had never imagined things would spin so far out of control. If this went wrong, both he and his father might die here today.

BOOM!

Suddenly, an even more astonishing aura erupted from Xu Yang. It was savage and ferocious, as if he had transformed into a mindless, savage beast.

The violent aura made his clothes billow as if his body were expanding, and his eyes began to glow with a bloody light.

"Father, watch out! He also has the Fuyue Bear King’s Palm at the Great Success Realm!" Su Zhe shouted as a warning.

Xu Yang’s mastery of the Fuyue Bear King’s Palm was profound. Back in the arena, he had used it to suppress Lu Ren and take third place in the Outer Disciple tournament.

Moreover, one could tell from the shift in Xu Yang’s aura that the Fuyue Bear King’s Palm was even more powerful than the Earth Demon Six Harmonies Saber.

Like a rampaging bear king, Xu Yang unleashed an overwhelming ferocity, blasting out the Mountain-Shattering and Mountain-Breaking strike.

BOOM!

The air cracked with an explosive roar, as if a channel had been blasted through it. The incomparably savage Palm Force instantly closed in on Su Jianye.

Before the Palm Force even landed, Su Jianye felt as if he were facing a landslide and tsunami, as if even a great mountain would be shattered and destroyed by this single palm strike from Xu Yang.

His expression grew graver than ever before. Not daring to be careless, he poured out the entirety of his Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement Cultivation, channeling it into his palms as he struck out.

BANG!

CRACK!

The moment their palms collided, Su Jianye’s face contorted. He felt an immense, unstoppable power transmit from Xu Yang’s hand, crushing his own Force like rotten wood and tyrannically invading his body.

With a sharp CRACK, his vision went black from the pain. His palm fractured, flesh and blood pulverizing as one of his hand bones was snapped clean through by the impact.

"Argh..."

A miserable scream escaped his lips as he was sent flying, his internal organs ringing from the blow.

PTUI!

In mid-air, he felt a sweet sensation in his throat and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

The wounds he had previously staunched now gushed fresh blood, scattering crimson blossoms through the air.

"Not good!"

Su Zhe’s face drained of color, his expression one of utter horror.

The Golden Gang Skill had tempered Xu Yang’s Physique to such a terrifying degree that he could shatter his father’s hand bone in a direct clash. His might was simply unparalleled.

"Run!"

Su Jianye coughed up blood as he yelled the warning. ’This foolish son is just standing there in shock. Doesn’t he realize his old man is about to die?’

He was grievously injured, while Xu Yang was completely unscathed. If they kept fighting, only death awaited them.

Though he was unwilling to accept it, he knew he could no longer kill Xu Yang.

"I curse it all!" Su Jianye roared.

As the Patriarch of the Su Family, he naturally had more tricks up his sleeve.

But he had underestimated Xu Yang and hadn’t brought his Half-Spirit Weapon.

Because the Half-Spirit Weapon was his signature, carrying it was too conspicuous, and he would be easily recognized.

It would also be easy to leave traces behind after a kill.

Who would have thought that Xu Yang wasn’t a novice who had just entered the Marrow Cleansing realm, but had already reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement? Relying on the formidable Physique tempered by the Golden Gang Skill, he had utterly suppressed an expert like himself, who had been at this level for many years.

"Think you can escape?" Xu Yang’s gaze was ice-cold, his killing intent surging like a tidal wave.

He strode forward, catching up to the backward-flying Su Jianye, and unleashed another Mountain-Shattering and Mountain-Breaking strike. The ferocious power cracked the earth as his palm slammed down like a toppling mountain.

BOOM!

The wind from the palm strike rumbled like muffled thunder, glowing with a golden light and carrying the immense power of the Mountain-Shattering and Mountain-Breaking technique.

A flicker of fear finally appeared on Su Jianye’s face. Only he could understand the terrifying power of the Golden Gang Skill combined with a Fuyue Bear King’s Palm that was on the verge of manifesting Martial Dao Imagery.

No one short of a Marrow Cleansing Great Success expert could possibly receive this palm strike, let alone him in his grievously wounded state.

Forcing up what was left of his Protective Gang Qi, he raised his one good arm to block in front of his chest, attempting to ward off the fatal blow.

BANG!

The tyrannical Palm Force crashed down like a landslide and tsunami, a great wave breaking. His Protective Gang Qi shattered on impact.

CRACK!

The incomparably domineering power instantly shattered Su Jianye’s arm and, with unstoppable momentum, slammed into his chest.

Xu Yang’s bones and sinews hummed, his wild hair dancing as his blood surged like a dragon. His arm trembled, bulging veins popping out like earthworms under his skin. Golden light flared as his Gang Qi burst forth in a mad torrent.

CRACK!

Another crisp crack of breaking bone echoed. Su Jianye’s body convulsed as his chest caved in. His limbs twitched uncontrollably, and his eyes, nearly jolted from their sockets, instantly filled with blood.

"WAA..."

He instinctively opened his mouth, vomiting a spray of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs. His body lifted off the ground and flew backward like a rubber ball struck with immense force.

WHOOSH!

A fierce wind howled, kicking up a dragon of dust and smoke. Xu Yang’s ferocious might was peerless.

Su Jianye, curled up like a cooked shrimp, shot out from the curtain of dust. The light had all but faded from his eyes, his face a mask of agony and terror.

He was finished!

Both arms were broken, his sternum was shattered, and his internal organs were pulverized. Even if Xu Yang didn’t strike again, he was not going to live.

THUD!

His body hit the ground, carving a trench dozens of feet long. He couldn’t get back up, still spewing mouthfuls of blood as more gurgled from his wounds.

"Father!"

Witnessing this, Su Zhe’s eyes looked as if they would split open as he let out a heart-rending roar.

His second uncle was dead!

His own father, a Martial Artist with Minor Achievement in Marrow Cleansing Cultivation, was on the brink of death!

This was the price for provoking Xu Yang—the destruction of his two closest relatives.

And this might not even be the final price, but only the beginning.

He himself was grievously wounded; there was no way he could escape from a cultivator at the Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement realm.

Even if he could escape, with Xu Yang’s current Cultivation, who in the Su Family could possibly stop him if he decided to storm their home and kill him?

Grief and despair washed over his face. Suppressing his pain and terror, he desperately ran in the direction of the Purple Sun Sect.

Every breath he took sent a stabbing pain through his chest, as if his internal organs were about to rupture.

These were the internal injuries from the earlier shockwaves. They hadn’t been too severe at first, but now, as he fled for his life, the surging True Qi made it feel as if thousands of tiny needles were stabbing him from the inside.

He didn’t dare to stop, so he could only grit his teeth and push on.

"Can you escape?"

Xu Yang’s ice-cold voice sounded in his ear. A tremendous pressure enveloped him, and Su Zhe’s face filled with despair, his limbs turning ice-cold.

WHOOSH!

He had just heard the sound of rushing wind when a large hand, radiating an astonishing pressure, closed around his neck.

Su Zhe shuddered as his Protective True Qi was forced back into his body. Immediately after, a ferocious surge of Gang Qi flooded from the hand into his meridians and Dantian, completely immobilizing him.

"Xu Yang, spare me!" Su Zhe begged.

Xu Yang turned a deaf ear, dragging him back to where Su Jianye lay.
