Thunder Rolled Through the Night of Killing

The near-grandmaster, now without his armor, continued his relentless attacks, finally finding an opportunity to strike Wang Xuan's shoulder with a palm strike. However, his own hand went numb, leaving him utterly shocked.

His palm strike was enough to shatter a rock weighing one or two tons; anyone else would have been blown apart. But Wang Xuan only staggered backward, while his own palm throbbed with pain.

The two powerful figures exchanged a glance but said nothing. Tonight, they would either capture the young man and force him to reveal the incredible secret, or kill him outright. They absolutely could not leave him to the people of the Old Arts Domain!

Because this matter is very serious, they have some guesses: this young man has most likely found a secret path in the field of Old Arts!

If this kind of person survives tonight's ordeal, it's hard to imagine how high they will go in the future. They are a major threat to people in the New Arts Domain!

Wang Xuan narrowly escaped death, being relentlessly attacked by someone clad in Super Material Armor —essentially a duel against a grandmaster-level expert. His arms were numb from the impact; if not for his Golden Body Art, he might have been killed instantly. Even so, several horrific wounds appeared on his body, bleeding profusely.

Thump!

Finally, he found an opportunity and used Zhang Daoling's physical skills to deliver a powerful punch to the shoulder of the man wearing dark green metal armor.

However, he himself was also struck in the back by the other near-grandmaster's most domineering and signature punch, and his whole body flew out.

The near-grandmaster looked coldly at him, feeling that taking down this young man tonight shouldn't be a problem.

Without the Golden Body Art, Wang Xuan would have been pierced through by that punch, his internal organs would have been torn apart. Although he managed to defend against it, some blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He turned abruptly, his gaze icy. Tonight, he faced two incredibly experienced and shrewd opponents; this battle would be difficult.

But his gaze was resolute as he stared at the target's shoulder. Now that he had hit that spot once, all his subsequent attacks would be aimed at that spot, with the goal of destroying it completely.

At this moment, Wang Xuan was indeed fighting for his life, risking his life in the struggle. In several exchanges, his opponent's gleaming green longsword nearly struck his head once, grazing his shoulder and leaving a terrible wound from which blood flowed freely.

Bang!

Wang Xuan exchanged a brief palm strike with the armored expert. Blood was dripping from his fingers, his tiger's mouth was split open, and his arm was numb. He dared to take the blow head-on because of his Golden Body Art. If it were any other quasi-grandmaster, their entire hand would have exploded.

Bang! Bang!

At the same time, he took two punches from the other near-grandmaster, his body trembling violently. But during this fierce fight, he locked one of the armored man's arms, closed in, and used all his strength to activate the physical techniques recorded in the golden book.

"Thump!"

He unleashed a series of powerful blows, eventually cracking the armor and causing it to explode. He then swept his leg through the air, sending the man flying and causing him to spit blood.

Inside the manor, many people were quietly watching the battle. Although the rain obscured most people's vision and prevented them from seeing the details, they witnessed the disintegration of the Super Material Armor as lightning flashed by, leaving them all deeply shocked.

"That's quite astonishing! That was a newly developed Super Material Armor, supposedly incredibly powerful, yet he managed to break it repeatedly with his bare hands!"

An old man sighed, "To have mastered the Old Arts to this level is truly rare. Although Old Chen is dead, he can rest in peace!"

Someone nearby whispered a reminder: "Great Grandmaster is still in the hospital room; he hasn't passed away yet."

Wang Xuan immediately dissipated that special secret power, calmed his boiling blood, and tried to cool down his burning body.

However, at this moment he felt the threat of death. Dao Body walked coldly through the rain, carrying boundless killing intent.

Wang Xuan was truly desperate. Yet another powerful figure clad in Super Material Armor had appeared. How many were there? Would this ever end?!

He stood there, panting heavily, already cornered.

The two near-grandmasters who lost their armor, one of whom was seriously injured by his kick at the last moment, was clearly still able to fight and joined forces with others to block their way.

What brings you here?

The two near-grandmasters who had lost their armor were also surprised and looked at the newcomer.

"Our spaceship has been destroyed!" The newcomer was furious, his killing intent even more terrifying.

Just moments before, Qing Mu had asked the people of Ancheng for help to scan and locate a small spaceship in the suburbs. He speculated that it was the spaceship that had transported the group of people from the New Arts Domain.

So, after confirming the situation further, he decisively launched the attack, directly destroying the spaceship. Although a huge explosion occurred there during the thunderstorm, everyone thought it was just a bolt of lightning.

The armored man witnessed the scene firsthand, and his body went cold. He had originally been waiting outside the manor, but now he had charged right in.

There was a nephew and a friend on the spaceship, and they were all turned into flames in an instant; they all died.

Now he is filled with murderous intent, wishing he could massacre the entire manor.

The three masters blocked Wang Xuan's path, not uttering a single word and giving him no chance, before launching a fierce attack on him.

Blood trickled from the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth, his gaze cold and sharp. This was the most dangerous battle he had ever faced, and he was likely to die soon.

This is an unprecedented crisis. He is now facing the combined attack of a Grandmaster and two quasi-Grandmasters, and it will be difficult for him to survive.

"Old Zhang's physical techniques are a bit of a trap!" Wang Xuan sighed. After using them once, he couldn't circulate that secret power again for a short time, otherwise he would have died first.

He did his best to avoid the attacks of the powerful figure clad in Super Material Armor, and clashed with two quasi-grandmasters in a narrow escape from death.

At the same time, he tried every means to break through the encirclement, because if he were trapped here, he would most likely die a terrible death.

Unfortunately, his attempts failed several times, and he was firmly suppressed by the three men. Furthermore, Wang Xuan inevitably clashed with the armored expert several times; due to the limited space, he couldn't avoid the attacks.

Wang Xuan felt excruciating pain in his palm, which was covered in blood. The soft flesh between each pair of fingers was torn, and blood was gushing out.

"What's wrong with him?" the middle-aged man clad in Super Material Armor asked the other two in surprise. In his current state, if he were to fight a Grandmaster, they would all shatter instantly. This young man had actually withstood it, only suffering a trickle of blood from his hand—it was unbelievable!

"He must have either mastered the Vajra Body or the Golden Body Art; it's one of those extremely time-consuming protective secret techniques. We suspect he's most likely found a secret path!"

Upon hearing this, the expert immediately went all out, aiming to cripple the young man first. He believed that if he could take the young man away tonight, any loss, however great, would be worthwhile.

If you can't take it with you, then just kill it; there's no need to hesitate.

All of this happened in a very short time; they were fighting fiercely, and only twelve seconds had passed.

Wang Xuan's heart sank. He was already seriously injured and would definitely not last more than half a minute before being killed by the three of them.

He sighed again, "Old Zhang's martial arts are poisonous. You can't even fight to the death with your enemy. If I dare to use it now, my own body will collapse first."

Of course, he knew very well that this further proved that the physical techniques recorded in the five pages of Golden Book were too terrifying for someone of this level to perform.

The fact that he can utilize it in such a short time is already quite remarkable.

Regardless, he had to hold out for at least eighteen seconds. That way, he could use Zhang Daoling's physical techniques to prevent his body from collapsing on the spot and the problem from becoming too serious. However, this timeframe was merely a passing grade, something he could barely manage.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say about the Inner Scenery Realm..." Wang Xuan began, trying to stall for time and temporarily distract them.

The three men's pupils contracted, and their hearts trembled. Just as they had expected, this young man harbored a tremendous secret that needed to be uncovered!

Then... the three launched a ferocious attack, eager to cripple the young man and end the battle as quickly as possible.

Wang Xuan cursed, feeling utterly powerless. A normal person hearing his words would likely be shocked, briefly distracted, buying him some time. But against such a cunning opponent, all methods were useless; they simply wouldn't listen.

Wang Xuan was trapped in a deadly situation, never before so close to death. He fought with all his might against three top masters. In a battle of this caliber, every second or two he was crossing the threshold of life and death.

With a bang, Wang Xuan's palm was mangled and bloody. He had tried his best to avoid the armored man's attacks, but he still inevitably clashed head-on several times.

His right fingernails were all torn off, and then they were shaken off and flew off. The pain was excruciating, as the ten fingers are connected to the heart.

But he could only remain silent, grit his teeth and persevere, fighting to the death with the enemy, knowing that only by fighting to the bitter end could he have a chance to survive.

Thump!

His vital areas, such as his heart and throat, had been struck by two other near-Grandmasters. Although Wang Xuan was not pierced or torn, his mouth was full of blood and foam, indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

He was fighting to the death, doing everything he could to stay alive; this was the first major battle in his life where he was on the verge of death.

Through the rain, Zhong Qing looked at the old man beside her and asked, "The Super Material Armor was only recently developed, yet several have appeared here tonight. What went wrong?"

The Super Material Armor was jointly developed by several major conglomerates, with the Zhong family contributing the largest share and having greater influence.

The old man said, "It shouldn't have been leaked accidentally. The research institute probably wanted to test the performance of the armor and gave a dozen or so to people in the New Arts Domain. I didn't expect them to use it here."

"Sir, do you want to go and save him? I feel like he can't hold on much longer," Zhong Cheng said.

The old man who had mastered the Serpent Crane Eight Scattered Hands shook his head bitterly and said, "The younger generation is formidable. I am not as good as him. Going up there would only be suicide. Those three were bloodthirsty. Even revealing our identities was useless."

As they talked, time flew by. Wang Xuan survived the eighteen seconds of death and successfully crossed into the twenty-two seconds. He decided to start a desperate fight!

Clang!

The man in the Super Material Armor conjured a long sword in his hand and slashed down fiercely. Wang Xuan was a little slow to dodge one of the blows, and a sharp pain shot through his neck as he was cleaved open with a shallow but bloody gash. Blood flowed freely, and it was truly a close call!

The Golden Body Art imbued his body with abundant vitality, causing the wound to close automatically and the bleeding to stop quickly.

Twenty-three seconds have passed, no need to hold back any longer!

Amidst the rain and lightning, Wang Xuan's murderous aura surged. He decided to unleash his full power and fully utilize the martial arts techniques recorded in the Golden Book.

"The rain is pouring down, and thunder is rumbling; it's the perfect night for murder!" Wang Xuan roared.

In an instant, everyone felt his boundless killing intent!

The three masters were also taken aback, and their attacks involuntarily slowed down, with the time instantly passing to the twenty-fourth second.

Wang Xuan felt more confident. Twenty-four seconds was almost up compared to half a minute. He was certain that performing the three-hit combo wouldn't cripple him, and that he would recover completely after a period of rest.

"Kill!"

As he roared, the three masters did not hesitate and unleashed their strongest techniques to blast through his body, cripple or kill him!

"Be careful of his special martial arts techniques!" the two near-grandmasters warned.

However, in close combat, if the armored man dodges, Wang Xuan will break through the encirclement, rest for a sufficient amount of time, and then turn back to kill them.

The man clad in Super Material Armor clearly sensed his intention to break through and did his best to stop him.

Wang Xuan's internal organs resonated, emitting a booming sound. His secret power flowed and spread to his limbs and bones. Every pore on his body seemed to be bursting with divine light, which was incredibly amazing!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He did everything in his power to lock onto his opponent and unleashed a series of powerful blows. As a thick bolt of lightning illuminated the entire world, Wang Xuan shattered the man's armor.

Furthermore, he grabbed the man with one hand, and using the last remaining secret power, he brought his other hand down with tremendous force.

The lightning disappeared, darkness fell, and a piercing scream echoed from that area, reverberating throughout the manor.

As another arc of electricity flashed, people felt a chill run down their spines. The young man stood in the middle of the field, his right hand like a knife, directly cleaving the man he was holding in two at the shoulder!

Wang Xuan abandoned the corpse and walked towards the other two. Although he had dissipated his secret power, the two were now unarmored. As fellow quasi-grandmasters, why would he be afraid of them?!

A fierce battle began. With a loud bang, one of the men's fists struck Wang Xuan's body, but it failed to break through the Golden Body Art's defense.

When Wang Xuan's fierce fist struck him, his chest was pierced through, his internal organs were completely shattered, and he was clearly beyond saving.

The other near-grandmaster turned pale, completely losing his will to fight. He turned and fled. If he continued to fight, he would surely be killed by this freak.

He was now convinced that this was a young man who had found the secret route and wanted to take the message with him.

How could Wang Xuan give him a chance? He leaped ten meters away and caught up in an instant. His face was cold, and he threw a punch.

The man was forced to fight, and as a result, his hands were mangled and bloody, and some of his finger bones were completely broken.

Wang Xuan was now brimming with murderous intent, and the power within his body had been pushed to its limit. Even without using the physical techniques recorded in the Golden Book, he was still incredibly terrifying.

He threw another punch, piercing through the man's defenses and breaking his arms. Then he slammed a punch into the man's chest, and with a thud, the near-grandmaster was torn to pieces and blasted apart!

Wang Xuan turned around and disappeared into the rain.

The rainy night was pitch black and utterly silent; for a long time, no one spoke. The young man, with his bare flesh, shattered several suits of Super Material Armor —an unbelievable feat. He had single-handedly killed several formidable enemies; it was truly awe-inspiring!

"Little Wang... is he about to advance into the true realm of Grandmaster?!" Wu Yin exclaimed, somewhat unable to believe what she was seeing after today's battle.

Some people were still in shock; this battle was simply too amazing!

Many people are thinking that they might really be about to meet a grandmaster in his early twenties, which would be an absolutely extraordinary event!

"A grandmaster in his early twenties has a very high chance of touching the extraordinary realm, approaching the Mythical Domain! How did he become so strong?" Zhong Cheng was somewhat lost in thought, then his eyes lit up, and he suddenly turned to look at his sister Zhong Qing, saying, "Sis, where's your... no, your phone? Can I borrow it?"
