Instantly Slaying Tu Qianxiong
Tu Qianxiong, whose nickname is "Blood Palm," naturally possesses extraordinary skills in palm techniques. His fierce palm force, combined with the power of the other four Limit Experts, creates an overwhelming and destructive force.
Zhuge Xiang's Sword Qi shattered into pieces under the powerful palm force, suppressed by the War Shackles. With this shift in power, Zhuge Xiang's strength was indeed much weaker than Tu Qianxiong's. Seeing the powerful palm force coming towards him, Zhuge Xiang shifted his feet and dodged the attack.
"Three Consecutive Slashes!" After dodging Tu Qianxiong's attack, Zhuge Xiang unleashed his Three Consecutive Slashes Skill without hesitation.
His figure transformed into a fleeting shadow, moving between the other two Limit Experts and Tu Qianxiong. Finally, he stopped in front of Tu Qianxiong, tearing a sword wound in his chest, from which blood flowed incessantly.
He frowned. Although he had injured Tu Qianxiong, the information from his Data Eye showed that the health bar above his head had barely decreased. Clearly, the injury looked serious, but Tu Qianxiong had only suffered some superficial wounds. His defensive power was comparable to that of Hairy Zombie.
Despite his injuries, Tu Qianxiong remained focused, letting Zhuge Xiang's Sword Slash him and the blood flow freely from his wounds. He raised his fingers, forming a claw, and made a grasping motion in the air, uttering a low shout, "Heartbreak Claw!"
Knock knock...
A terrifying suction force pulled him in, Zhuge Xiang felt his heart pounding rapidly, as if it were about to leap out of his chest. His heart was being squeezed by the force, a feeling that was indescribably uncomfortable.
"You want to kill me? Do you think you can?" His hand gripped Zhuge Xiang's heart as if it held it tightly. Tu Qianxiong's face was filled with bloodthirsty killing intent. He said, "Our five Qi Energy are combined into one. Your attack is equally distributed across all five of us. With our combined defense against your attack, how can you possibly harm me?"
"Will my attack be evenly distributed among those five people?" Suppressing the urge to jump out of his chest, Zhuge Xiang resolutely raised the Sword of Judgment in his hand. A terrifying pillar of Sword Qi suddenly erupted, Vast Sword Qi.
The Vast Sword Qi, having instantly consumed half of its Qi Energy, unleashed an attack force comparable to a Spell attack. Since his attack was distributed across five people, other attacks were useless; he would simply use a powerful attack to forcefully overwhelm them.
"Is that so? Can you withstand this move?" Zhuge Xiang said coldly, controlling the huge pillar of Vast Sword Qi. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the huge pillar of Sword Qi, like Sky-Supporting Pillar, pressed down hard on Tu Qianxiong.
"Don't underestimate me!" The Vast Sword Qi was indeed Human Heart, but Tu Qianxiong was a member of the Dragon Phoenix Ranking in the previous year, so his strength couldn't possibly be so weak ten years later.
A pair of gloves, made of some unknown material, appeared in his hands. Tu Qianxiong raised his palms to form blades and slashed at the Vast Sword Qi in mid-air.
"Blade Palm, One-Blade Slash!" A silvery-white Qi Energy shot out, transforming into an arc-shaped Blade Qi along the edge of Tu Qianxiong's palm, exuding the power to cleave the Heaven and Earth, and slamming fiercely into the pillar of light of the Vast Sword Qi.
The Blade Qi and Sword Qi energy collided with a loud bang. Although Zhuge Xiang's Vast Sword Qi was powerful, it was unfortunately suppressed by the War Shackles. Tu Qianxiong, on the other hand, had the help of four Limit Experts, and his attack power surpassed that of Zhuge Xiang. Even his Vast Sword Qi was directly cut in half by the opponent.
Heaven and Earth Cage!
The undiminished Blade Qi slashed towards Zhuge Xiang. However, just as Zhuge Xiang was about to use his Explosive Steps to dodge, Tu Qianxiong suddenly slapped Zhuge Xiang. The Heaven and Earth Vital Energy surged and transformed into a physical cage, enveloping Zhuge Xiang inside, making it impossible for him to escape.
Boom!
After imprisoning Zhuge Xiang, the remaining Blade Qi slammed into him, sending him Knockback. A huge sword wound appeared on his chest, almost severing all his ribs. Visibly, Zhuge Xiang's 5000 HP points dropped by more than 1000 in an instant.
"Divine Ability Stage!?" Zhuge Xiang stared wide-eyed at Tu Qianxiong, clutching the knife wound on his chest. All ten of the previous Dragon Phoenix Ranking and Phoenix Rankings had now broken through to the Divine Ability Stage. However, Tu Qianxiong's Heaven and Heaven and Earth Cage just now revealed his strength—the cultivation level of the Divine Ability Stage.
The Divine Ability Stage grants the ability to harness the power of Heaven and Earth for one's own use. Without breaking through to the next level, even if the power of thousands of Limit Experts were added to one's body, it would only result in powerful attacks, but would not be enough to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth.
"Not bad! With my cultivation at the Divine Ability Stage, plus the help of the others, and the War Shackles, you can't escape even if you want to," Tu Qianxiong said confidently, raising his palm blade again. Judging from the posture, it was clearly the same move he used to One-Blade Slash.
"One-Blade Slash!" Sure enough, a slash came from mid-air, unleashing that terrifying Blade Qi once more—an arc-shaped Blade Qi, carrying an unstoppable, domineering aura, swiftly slashing towards Zhuge Xiang.
"Palm Thunder!" The Vast Sword Qi had already consumed half of Zhuge Xiang's Qi Energy, but fortunately, the Blood Demon Heart was constantly replenishing it.
With his palm clenched, a violent surge of Thunderclap gathered in Zhuge Xiang's palm. Since the Vast Sword Qi didn't work, Zhuge Xiang decided to try using the Palm Thunder.
Boom!
The Blade Qi collided with the Lightning, unleashing a powerful explosion, with shattered Blade Qi and Lightning scattering everywhere.
However, along with the sound of the explosion, there was also a scream. More than a dozen fine knife wounds appeared on Zhuge Xiang's body, and Knockback. As he flew backward, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his HP dropped by more than 1,000, leaving him with only about half.
Two consecutive One-Blade Slash left Zhuge Xiang severely injured. Tu Qianxiong could not hide his joy. Gu Siqi had been defeated by Zhuge Xiang. If it were a one-on-one fight, Tu Qianxiong was not confident that he could defeat him. But fortunately, he could kill him here. Then, he would have one less competitor in the final Duel.
"Again! One-Blade Slash!" Seeing Zhuge Xiang flying backward, victory was within reach. Tu Qianxiong could not hide his excitement and unleashed the One-Blade Slash Skill for the third time. The arc-shaped Blade Qi chased after him.
"Blood Thunder Slash!" The Vast Sword Qi and Palm Thunder had already consumed most of Zhuge Xiang's Qi Energy. Facing the third strike, Zhuge Xiang could only rely on the Blood Thunder Slash Skill to defend.
The result was obvious: even the Vast Sword Qi and Palm Thunder couldn't block it, so how could a mere Blood Thunder Slash possibly withstand it?
With One-Blade Slash, Zhuge Xiang was sent flying again, landing on the ground and rolling a long way before finally stopping, leaving a long trail on the ground. He looked dejected and disheveled.
Indeed, Zhuge Xiang is in a truly wretched state right now, and his injuries are more severe than ever before. Even when facing Two-Star Hairy Zombie, Zhuge Xiang has never been in such a miserable state.
The War Shackles cut off Zhuge Xiang's escape route, and with his power suppressed, Zhuge Xiang was no match for Tu Qianxiong in a head-on confrontation. Tu Qianxiong's reliance on the fact that he dared to kill all the top experts, including Zhuge Xiang, must have been very strong.
Originally, he only had about half of his HP left, but now he only has 600 left. Severely injured, Zhuge Xiang's combat power has been affected once again.
"Die! Last move! Mount Tai Crushes Down!" Seeing Zhuge Xiang's injuries, how could Tu Qianxiong not see that he was at his last gasp?
With a cold laugh, he raised his palm above Zhuge Xiang's head. The Heaven and Earth Vital Energy transformed into a gigantic hand, which slammed down on Zhuge Xiang as if swatting a fly.
"Let me die? Sorry, you'll die first..." However, seeing that Zhuge Xiang was about to be killed, he showed no panic. Instead, he had a strange smile on his lips as he spoke to Tu Qianxiong.
Zhuge Xiang's eerie smile sent chills down Tu Qianxiong's spine, making his hair stand on end. An unprecedented sense of crisis made Tu Qianxiong turn pale with horror.
Having reached Tu Qianxiong's level of strength, he already possessed an intuitive sense of danger. At this moment, the danger Tu Qianxiong sensed was absolutely the strongest, almost reflexively. A protective shield appeared on Tu Qianxiong's body, activating his defense to its maximum.
"Sword of Judgment!" Seeing the huge palm print falling from above, Zhuge Xiang aimed his sword at Tu Qianxiong and slashed through the Void.
Sword of Judgment (Two-star treasure artifact): Requires cultivation Divine Ability Stage First Layer, Attack 2200, Attack Speed 10%, Passive: Reduces the Attack Speed of surrounding enemy targets by 20%, Active: Can make the target's HP equal to the user's HP, Cooldown time 1 day, Durability 315320, Weight 15.
The active effect of the Sword of Judgment is Zhuge Xiang's greatest reliance. How much HP does Zhuge Xiang have left? Only a mere 800 points. As the effect of the Sword of Judgment is activated, the seemingly indestructible defense on Tu Qianxiong's body shatters like a joke. At the same time, several wounds burst open on Tu Qianxiong's body, and blood splattered out.
"No! This is impossible!" Blood splattered everywhere, Tu Qianxiong's pupils contracted to their limit. He could hardly believe that he had been seriously injured in a single move. What was even more terrifying was that he couldn't even see what kind of method his opponent had used.
"Attack Counter!" After activating the effect of the Sword of Judgment, Zhuge Xiang then activated the active effect on the Thorn Armor.
Thorn Armor (One-Star Treasure Artifact): Defense 680-920, Passive: Within a radius of 10 meters, enemy defense is reduced by 30%, Active: Can reflect single-target attacks from those whose cultivation level is no more than three minor realms higher than the user, Limited to one use per day, Durability 162162, Weight 20.
The palm print that had descended from the sky suddenly reversed at this moment and slammed down fiercely towards Tu Qianxiong.
With a deafening roar, even the earth trembled. With only a paltry 800 HP points remaining, how could Tu Qianxiong possibly withstand such a powerful attack, comparable to Palm Thunder? (To be continued...)
P. S.: I actually finished writing this chapter around noon, but the browser on the computer at the shop had problems, and I couldn't log in to my account even after fiddling with it for over 20 minutes. I'm done writing now and uploading it from my laptop at home. I'll hurry up and finish another chapter, hoping to update before 10:30 PM. Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets...
