Chapter 274

The circulation of the Five Elements is thus achieved, and the body's strength continuously increases.

Strength, flexibility, resilience, toughness, endurance, explosive power, and so on—the power of the Five Elements comprehensively strengthens the physical body.

In addition to physical strengthening, the quality and quantity of Qi also increased dramatically.

This is the power of a martial artist!

This is... human power!

Human strength is no less than that of Ghost God!

Shuya understood why Li Shuhong was able to torment Amaterasu.

Martial arts training is slow but comprehensive; once the Five Elements Cycle is mastered, there are no weaknesses.

Both gods and Monster take the path of quick success, and their strengths and weaknesses are quite obvious.

As for Divine Arts and Demonic Arts... martial artists who have mastered the Five Elements Cycle are not afraid of them.

Besides, all martial artists are outstanding individuals, the elite among billions of humankind, and are protected by immense fortune.

Shuya felt stronger than ever before and calmly looked ahead.

How slow the Fire Sword that Amaterasu struck was.

He casually waved his hand to catch it, then flicked it away.

In Amaterasu's eyes, Shuya's aura suddenly changed drastically. After he raised his hand, his arm blurred for a moment, and the Fire Sword flew back in reverse.

"This is..."

He sensed Shuya's presence and his expression changed.

He sensed something was wrong, and flames erupted from his entire body, spreading in all directions, making the surrounding temperature unusually high.

But that didn't work.

The fiery barrier in front of Amaterasu was easily torn apart by a katana, Shuya unleashed a powerful burst of energy, smashing through the flames without hesitation.

Before she could even blink, Amaterasu had more than a dozen knife wounds on her chest.

"You!"

Amaterasu was filled with shock and anger, tinged with a hint of fear.

He quickly retreated, and at the same time, a psychological shadow rose within him, as if he could see a gleaming spearhead piercing his mouth.

He instinctively tilted his head to the side.

The next moment, He felt a sharp pain on His cheek as the blade, shimmering with five-colored light, slid across his face, drawing blood and completely ignoring all His defenses.

"Warrior!"

Those despicable martial artists!

Amaterasu knew why she was hallucinating about the spearhead; it was because she saw the man's shadow in Shuya.

The Kusanagi Sword slashed forward in an attempt to block the attack.

But the First Snow struck back heavily, and the power of the Five Elements invaded through the Kusanagi Sword. Helpless Amaterasu swung her divine sword and controlled it to stab Shuya in the stomach.

He knew all too well how powerful the qi of a martial artist who had achieved the Five Elements Cycle was, and decisively abandoned his sword.

Shuya's eyes followed Amaterasu's retreating figure. He reached out with his left hand and flicked the blade of the Kusanagi Sword, which emitted a crisp, light sound before flying out diagonally and embedding itself in the ground.

Amaterasu a deep breath, her eyes blazing with light, and two beams of light shot out, piercing towards Shuya.

A five-colored aura swept over him, and the beam of light dissolved into nothingness.

"Amaterasu!"

Shuya roared, and First Snow unleashed an unprecedented speed of sword strikes. Amaterasu desperately tried to defend with flames, but she couldn't stop the sword light from striking her.

As Amaterasu's blood flowed freely, the man and the god fought their way from Takamagahara to the other.

Amaterasu retreated all the way to the edge of Takamagahara.

Shuya tried flying over the boundary and knew there was a transparent barrier preventing him from escaping, but he wasn't sure if Amaterasu was the same.

So with a flash of his eyes, he flung First Snow away.

The First Snow, like flying swords, transformed into long, swift blades, slashing towards Amaterasu and forcing her away from the edge of Takamagahara.

Then Amaterasu felt a darkness before her eyes, and a shadow was cast down upon her.

He instinctively attacked with fire.

Shuya lunged at her empty-handed, ignoring Amaterasu's attack, and placed his hands on her shoulders.

He pulled hard, and Amaterasu's left hand was ripped off.

"Snort!"

But Amaterasu did not waver because of the pain; instead, she used her arm to explode in Shuya's hand.

Amidst the violent explosion, five-colored energy swirled around Shuya like a vortex, shattering the blast and protecting him from harm.

Immediately afterwards, Shuya threw a backhand punch, hitting Amaterasu in the cheek.

With the sound of bones shattering, Amaterasu's body crashed into the ground, leaving a deep furrow in its wake.

Shuya didn't wait for Him to stop, and with a powerful stomp, he leaped out and caught up with Amaterasu, who was being knocked away.

His body suddenly plummeted in mid-air, his feet slamming hard onto Amaterasu's chest.

"Puff!"

When Amaterasu coughed up blood, the ground beneath her was also blasted open by this violent force, creating a large crater.

Dirt exploded and dust billowed. Amaterasu, with a fierce urge, grabbed Shuya and swung him outward with force.

Shuya pulled and lost his balance, swaying slightly.

He immediately rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding Amaterasu's right-hand chop.

He then sprang up from the ground and lunged at Amaterasu.

As Natural Martial Bone, his hand-to-hand combat skills were certainly not bad. But Amaterasu was in a bad situation; having lost the Kusanagi Sword, she was not good at close combat.

A series of muffled thuds rang out as Amaterasu was brutally beaten, the Five Elements' energy continuously invading her body, bringing her double the pleasure.

Shuya and Amaterasu fought their way back from the edge to the central Divine Mountain. He took a deep breath and punched Amaterasu with all his might, sending her flying. She crashed into the mountain wall and couldn't slide down.

"Call..."

To be honest, I was exhausted from playing.

Shuya watched as Amaterasu struggled to get down, and with a wave of his hand, First Snow back.

He stepped forward with his knife, and without hesitation, channeled his strength, plunging the blade into Amaterasu's stomach, pinning her to the mountain.

Amaterasu barely opened her eyes and stared fixedly in Shuya's direction.

"..."

Shuya wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he decided to shut up and just kill him to avoid any unforeseen complications.

He slowly approached Amaterasu.

Only then did he realize that Amaterasu's gaze was not actually focused on him.

"Um?!"

Shuya seemed to realize something and turned around in surprise.

Sure enough, a handsome and masculine man appeared behind them.

Li Shuhong stood there, Amaterasu.

"Teacher? You've finally crawled out of your shell?"

Shuya couldn't help but retort.

Li Shuhong's face darkened. How dare this unlucky kid talk like that?

He snorted, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and do it."

"You came all this way just to watch the show?"

"Half and half."

Li Shuhong stepped forward and slapped Amaterasu on the chest, causing the energy within him to surge into Amaterasu's body.

Amaterasu involuntarily opened her mouth and exhaled a mouthful of Platinum flame.

"Holy crap, that old bastard."

Shuya startled.

"Ahem! Li Shuhong... your actions are illegal."

After Amaterasu's final attack was defeated, he looked dejected and lost a lot of weight.

Li Shuhong nonchalantly tapped his forehead. "You need to understand, I just saw there were mosquitoes on your face and removed them for you."

"Shameless... utterly shameless..."

Amaterasu Tunnel.

Li Shuhong ignored him and turned to Shuya, urging, "What are you waiting for?"

"Here he comes."

Shuya could see his eagerness and stepped forward to pull out the First Snow with one hand.

The First Snow Blade was spotless, still gleaming and sharp.

Amaterasu slid down the mountainside to the ground, panting softly.

"The day has finally come..."

Li Shuhong muttered to himself, seemingly lost in thought.

With him by his side, Shuya was naturally not afraid of Amaterasu tricks. He raised his sword and plunged it into Amaterasu's forehead.

Amaterasu's gaze was unfocused, countless memories flashing through her mind.

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but in the end he neither shouted nor begged for mercy.

Amaterasu looked at Li Shuhong and Shuya, and only gave a wry smile.

He looked directly at Shuya and said, "I was not defeated by you, but by the Spear God."

"I know."

Shuya nodded.

... That is indeed the case.

He had personally experienced Amaterasu's methods and knew how Yamato and cunning she was. If it weren't for Li Shuhong's covert threats, Amaterasu might have actually won.

With Amaterasu on the verge of death, there was no need for Shuya to utter any more nonsense.

Upon Amaterasu this, Tianzhao paused, and Xiang Shuya. Then she looked at Li Shuhong and said, "If I had been born in Great Hua, I wouldn't be any worse than you."

Who knows?

Li Shuhong shrugged and did not refute.

During the years he was entangled with Amaterasu, he became aware of Her power.

If He had been born in Great Hua, His achievements would likely have been even greater.

Of course, it's also possible that it isn't; nobody can say for sure.

But Amaterasu was able to make such a confident assertion.

Looking at Amaterasu's disheveled appearance, Shuya felt a strange sensation rising within him.

Perhaps... it's a pity.

Putting aside personal opinions, Amaterasu's achievements were quite remarkable.

"... Have you finished saying your last words?"

Shuya asked.

One thing at a time, Amaterasu still needs to be taken down.
