One Sword Kills Instantly—You Call Yourself the Strongest Sequence, Chapter 28

Though the man was smiling, his voice was incomparably cold, as if he already regarded Su Xing as a dead man.

The moment his words fell, the man suddenly stomped his right foot. A ring of blood-colored air blasted up from the previously tranquil ground, and in the next instant, his figure vanished from where he stood.

Boom!

With an explosive roar, the man's fist, carrying a stream of blood-colored energy, smashed toward Su Xing at an unimaginable speed!

Though the man was incredibly fast, Su Xing, who had remained on high alert, reacted even faster. He directly dodged the attack, but his estimation of this enemy's threat rose another level.

The other man was unbelievably fast, and his strength was not to be underestimated either. He should be a third-rank Sequence user.

Seeing his attack fail, the man vanished again and instantly retreated to his original position. His eyes fixed tightly on Su Xing as a cold smile curled at his lips. He muttered, "I never expected that mysterious expert to be Su Yu's older brother."

"Lou Zhen was killed by you too, wasn't he?"

"So what if I killed him?"

Su Xing gave a light laugh, then held the black sword horizontally at his waist, ready to strike at any moment.

Naturally, the man noticed Su Xing's movements, but he seemed utterly unconcerned. He merely stood there quietly, let out a soft sigh, and said, "Sigh, no matter what, he was still my subordinate."

"Then I can only... send you on your way early!"

As his words fell, his killing intent surged!

The man moved, transforming into a blood-colored afterimage as he charged directly at Su Xing amid a violent howl of wind!

He was even faster than before!

Yet Su Xing stood firm as an ancient tree rooted in the earth. He neither dodged nor retreated, only gripping the sword in his hand with all his strength. He suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the incoming bloody shadow, roaring, "You think you're worthy?!"

"You think you're worthy?!"

Su Xing planted his legs like the roots of an old tree, his five right-hand fingers clenched tightly around the hilt as he unleashed a full-force slash!

Xue Cheng did not evade either, directly choosing to trade injury for injury. Almost at the instant the sword slashed down into his shoulder, his fist smashed viciously into Su Xing's chest!

Boom!!

Hum!!

The boom of fist striking flesh and the hum of a sword leaving its sheath alternated, erupting with terrifying power and instantly gouging an enormous crater into the previously level mountainside.

Su Xing felt sweetness rise in his throat.

A wild, overwhelming force sent him crashing directly into the mountain wall, leaving a deep pit behind him. He forcibly swallowed the blood that rushed up his throat, a glacial chill filling his eyes.

When Su Xing's chest was struck by that punch,

he felt as though he had been hit by a heavy truck.

If his body had not strengthened drastically when he broke through [Mortal Sword], that punch might have beaten him to death on the spot.

Still, the other man used fists while he used a sword. In a trade of injuries, the other side should definitely have suffered worse!

Just as Su Xing thought this, the blood flowing from Xue Cheng's wound gradually condensed into a bloody shadow. It wrapped around all the wounds on his body, and before long, he stood back up as though nothing had happened.

Fuck...

No wonder he was Lou Zhen's superior. Their Sequences had similarly absurd applications.

When Su Xing saw this,

his expression immediately darkened.

But he keenly sensed that Xue Cheng's Sequence was still different from Lou Zhen's unreasonable self-healing.

At the very least, Su Xing could clearly feel that the other man's injuries had not recovered. It seemed these blood shadows... could temporarily negate the effects of injuries on the main body.

Xue Cheng looked mockingly at Su Xing, whose chest had caved in, and laughed. "You're pretty tough."

"I wonder if you can take another punch from me!"

The moment his words fell,

a small portion of the bloody shadow covering his wounds split off and wrapped around his fist.

His fist immediately glowed blood-red, brimming with violent power. Xue Cheng stomped his right foot hard, and the entire ground seemed to shatter as countless rocks flew into the air.

Using the flying debris to block Su Xing's vision, he charged at him wildly!

"Who the fuck are you trying to fool?!"

Su Xing roared, fierceness surging in his eyes as he slashed at the incoming Xue Cheng. A brilliant white line burst forth alongside a visible ring of transparent ripples!

The commotion from their battle was simply too great.

Even from far away, Liu Ming and Bai Lan could clearly see the strange changes atop the hill. Both frowned tightly as they watched the various effects constantly erupting in the distance and the mountainside collapsing from time to time.

Bai Lan looked at the scene in surprise.

She knew very well how powerful Xue Cheng was, because she had fought him before. However, Bai Lan had not defeated Xue Cheng in that battle. At best, it had been a seventy-thirty fight.

Yet this mysterious expert who had suddenly appeared seemed far beyond a seventy-thirty matchup, fighting Xue Cheng with such ferocity and intensity!

Liu Ming was deeply shocked as well. He understood the mysterious expert best. From the moment he first learned of him, from first rank to second rank to third rank, the mysterious expert's growth had been far too fast. With such a leveling speed, it was difficult to imagine what he might achieve in the future. Someone like this absolutely could not die here. They had to recruit him into the organization!

"Liu Ming, drive faster!"

"The mysterious expert is at a disadvantage!"

Hearing Bai Lan's anxious words, Liu Ming hurriedly looked up. To be honest, he could not see anything at all, but he immediately believed Bai Lan. He floored the accelerator, only to find that the speedometer had long since maxed out. All he could do was say anxiously, "This is already as fast as it can go."

Seeing this, Bai Lan clenched her right fist hard. Her eyes suddenly turned blue, and what seemed like one analytical screen after another flashed across them as she stared fixedly at the blurred mountain silhouette in the distance.

Beneath that patch of sky, white energy and blood-colored energy were fiercely clashing. However, the blood-colored energy vastly outnumbered the white energy, even forming an encirclement at one point.

This was what Bai Lan saw through her Sequence. The owner of the white energy was clearly at a disadvantage.

Su Xing was indeed gradually falling behind, but he was not quite as disadvantaged as he seemed, because he had been relentlessly pressing Xue Cheng with savage slashes.

It was only through one clash after another that Su Xing gradually discovered the true effect of the other man's Sequence: the more severely injured he was, the stronger he became.

The blood Xue Cheng shed from his injuries could transform into bloody shadows to increase his combat power. Combined with the bloody shadows' ability to completely negate the negative effects of severe injuries, Xue Cheng only grew stronger as the battle continued.

As one side waned and the other waxed,

Su Xing began to struggle somewhat.

But this was also Su Xing's opportunity.

The more seriously injured you were, the stronger you became—but that still meant you were severely injured. Even if you could negate the negative effects of serious wounds, if you really died, you still had to die!

As long as Su Xing found the right opening,

one strike would be enough to send Xue Cheng straight to hell!

Su Xing had been waiting for such an opportunity.

When that chance came, Su Xing naturally seized it without hesitation, just as a drowning man could never miss a plank of wood floating toward him.

Su Xing exhaled a breath of hot air and stepped forward with his right foot, deliberately exposing an opening. Risking severe injury from Xue Cheng, he gathered all the strength in his body and unleashed a devastating slash!

White radiance flashed!

Su Xing's sword instantly pierced through Xue Cheng's body. At the same time, countless white lines along the path of the radiance began bursting inside and outside Xue Cheng's body like dense, fine needles!

Crack after crack appeared across Xue Cheng's body. Like a blood pump, blood sprayed out in a constant stream as if it cost nothing.

Having been struck by that sword, his face turned deathly pale. His body began tearing apart piece by piece, while those bloody shadows seemed to have reached their limit and started struggling as they shattered.

"Hm?"

"Why did the blood-colored energy suddenly disappear?"

Sitting in the car, Bai Lan muttered in confusion, "Could it be... the mysterious expert won?"

"No, that's not right!"

"Liu Ming, something's about to happen! Stop driving—we need to run!"

"Hehe."

"Am I really that terrifying now?"

Xue Cheng's face was covered in blood. A massive hole had appeared in his chest, but Su Xing had not made it. Xue Cheng had personally dug out his own heart!

The blood-red heart was continuously withering in his palm.

But the bloody shadows on his body began twisting and swelling like mad, gradually transforming into a gigantic red monster five or six meters tall!
