Chapter 663: Chapter 663 It Was All Or Nothing
Gaile Whitman’s body was consumed by the Spiritual Fire Seal. Though the flames looked dim, they still caused unbearable agony for Gaile Whitman!
"It worked!"
Seeing this, I felt pure joy surge through me!
I quickly pulled out the bronze sword, gathered my power, and with a thunderous yell, unleashed the third strike of Nine Absolute Beginning Slashes!
The massive Sword Light burst forth suddenly, its savage assault sending shivers through anyone watching!
"Die!" I bellowed, the Sword Light blazing brighter as it raced toward Gaile Whitman with crushing momentum!
Right then, Gaile Whitman, wrapped in the Spiritual Fire Seal, extended an enormous hand. Light collected in his palm as he thrust it directly at my sword light!
"Boom!"
The collision turned the entire street into a blinding white void!
The horrific backlash launched me backward dozens of steps, leaving white marks scattered across my body!
But my gaze stayed locked on Gaile Whitman’s position!
Gaile’s palm was soaked in blood, white bone peeking through the torn flesh!
My expression shifted when I saw this.
I hadn’t expected the third strike would only damage Gaile Whitman’s palm!
The flames around Gaile Whitman started dying down gradually.
His purple robe was charred, his skin covered in burn marks.
But what crushed my hopes was that Gaile Whitman’s power hadn’t weakened—it had actually grown stronger!
His eyes, cold as a vulture’s, locked onto me.
That piercing stare sent chills through my bones!
I felt slightly shaken, never imagining I still couldn’t beat Gaile Whitman even after playing my last card!
"No wonder he’s a purple robe from the Capital City Martial Arts Association..." I panted heavily, panic flooding my heart.
Gaile Whitman tore off his robe and walked toward me step by step.
"No wonder they sent me—you really are full of surprises." Gaile’s hands glowed with radiance.
This light seemed to merge with Gaile, like a pair of luminous gloves.
"You should be proud to wound me this badly." Gaile Whitman’s voice drew nearer, the light on his hands growing more intense.
Desperation started building in my chest. If this continued, I definitely couldn’t match Gaile Whitman!
But I was even less willing to just run away!
"Swoosh!"
At that moment, Gaile Whitman was already charging forward!
He lifted his palm and slammed it viciously toward me!
I didn’t dare hesitate—I roared and countered head-on with my Golden Fist!
"Boom!"
Devastating Qi Jin erupted from Gaile Whitman’s palm!
My hand immediately went numb from the impact!
Then Gaile Whitman’s left hand moved swiftly, forming an "annihilation" character that crashed into my chest!
"Bang!"
The massive character detonated on my chest instantly. The force sent me flying sideways!
A gaping wound opened in my chest! Blood poured endlessly from the hole!
My face turned deathly pale as waves of pain shot through my chest.
"Surviving the Annihilation formula is already impressive." Gaile Whitman sneered.
He kept advancing toward me. With each step, his crushing presence grew heavier.
I gritted my teeth and muttered, "I can’t just sit here waiting to die!"
At this point, I had two choices—fight until the bitter end or turn tail and run!
But if I fled, Phoebe Billy would definitely be discovered. Then I’d lose any chance!
"No, I’ve struggled this hard for so long—I absolutely can’t quit now." I clenched my jaw.
Ignoring the massive hole in my chest, I kept my eyes fixed on Gaile Whitman!
"What, still planning to fight back?" Gaile mocked.
I stayed silent, drew a deep breath, and whispered, "It’s do or die now!"
My eyes closed slightly, as if I was preparing to use some technique!
Immediately, my aura began climbing rapidly!
My cultivation shot up from fourth rank Military Marquis to mid-term Military Marquis level!
This was the same technique I’d used against Vance Johansson—forcibly boosting my cultivation!
But this technique had serious consequences. Once activated, there was no going back, and it could even damage my future growth!
Right now, I had no other choice—it was all or nothing!
"Looking for death." Gaile’s eyes filled with icy light as he cast the Annihilation formula again!
A huge, dark character shot forward!
This massive character seemed to carry death’s breath, making anyone who saw it tremble!
Just as the character was about to strike me, I suddenly opened my eyes!
"Ahh!!"
I roared, Golden Light blazing in my hand as I met the attack with my palm!
"Boom!"
The Golden Light crashed into the Annihilation formula at that instant!
Thick cracks spread under my feet immediately!
The ground couldn’t handle the pressure and started crumbling!
"Rumble..."
The sky went dark suddenly, winds howled, then heavy rain began falling!
"Break for me!"
My palm became a fist as I drove forward with all my strength!
The Annihilation formula couldn’t withstand the force—my Golden Light punched straight through it, making it vanish completely!
In that moment, my power transformed through fusion, my cultivation reaching mid-term Military Marquis!
Even though it was just a small gap, the difference in strength was enormous!
Gaile watched me coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Forcing your cultivation higher?" Gaile raised an eyebrow.
"You think that helps? As far as I know, this technique only lasts thirty minutes. After that, your cultivation will fade and you’ll become completely useless."
I glared coldly at Gaile Whitman and confirmed, "Yeah, so I need to kill you within thirty minutes."
"Kill me?" Gaile shook his head.
"Many people in this world could kill me, but you’re not one of them."
I didn’t have time to waste words with Gaile. I only had thirty minutes—every second counted!
My foot struck the ground, and like an arrow from a bow, I shot toward Gaile!
My golden fist packed overwhelming force, the surging Qi Jin ripping cracks in the earth!
Gaile’s face was stone-cold. He raised his palm and met my punch directly!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
This time, Gaile’s light seemed to fade slightly, and he unconsciously stepped back several paces!
"Huh?" This clearly surprised Gaile.
He knew that even with my forced cultivation boost, I was still only mid-term Military Marquis—there should be a significant gap between us.
Yet my fist’s power right now far exceeded his own!
"Fighting above your level?" Gaile raised his eyebrows, then sneered, "Interesting..."
As he spoke, Gaile began gathering the Annihilation formula in his hand again.
Facing the Annihilation formula, my fist started building energy too.
My Golden Light transformed into a dragon. If you listened carefully, you could even hear a Dragon Chant!
