At that moment, Su Xiuyi was using another ability he had obtained through signing in: the Earth Transformation Divine Art, an innate divine ability of the Earth Spirit Clan of the Five Elements Race. Several miles after he left the Southern Heaven Academy, a white-robed figure suddenly appeared on the ground.
A golden mask appeared in Su Xiuyi's hand. After putting it on, he soared into the sky. He was unbelievably fast, flashing past like wind and thunder.
In the sky, Zhan Wushuang rode the Blazing Flame Berserk Lion for a full hundred miles before slowing down when he saw that no one was pursuing them. "Master, that was far too dangerous. We shouldn't have provoked Wang Lin. He's a ruthless man. Back when he killed the Heavenly Wolf Demon King, his cultivation was a full three minor realms lower, but by mutilating himself, he took the Heavenly Wolf Demon King's head within ten moves."
A trace of apprehension appeared in the Blazing Flame Berserk Lion's eyes.
"Hmph. How was I supposed to know that old bastard would still have such strength after suffering such grievous injuries in that battle? I thought he was clinging to his last breath and had no strength left." A disgruntled look appeared on Zhan Wushuang's face.
"But he undid the seal in his body to kill me this time. I'm afraid he paid a heavy price and won't live much longer," Zhan Wushuang said coldly.
Earlier, the moment Wang Lin's presence erupted and his chilling killing intent locked onto him, Zhan Wushuang had felt as though he were trapped in a blood-soaked hell. Even now, the memory made his heart pound and sent chills down his spine.
"What a pity. Ever since Su Xiuyi entered the Myriad Text Academy and died, there hasn't been a single genius in the Southern Heaven Academy. These disciples they have now are trash. This trip was so boring." The Blazing Sun Berserk Lion spoke in a human voice, its disdain for the Southern Heaven Academy plain.
Suddenly, the Blazing Sun Berserk Lion, flying through the sky, came to an abrupt stop and jerked its head upward.
A figure was descending from above, dressed in white and wearing a golden mask. He looked utterly unworldly, like an immortal banished to the mortal realm.
His white robes fluttered as he blocked the path ahead, barring their way.
"A disciple of the Southern Heaven Academy?" Zhan Wushuang's expression changed. Sensing Su Xiuyi's ethereal bearing, his pupils contracted.
"Who dares block our path? Are you courting death?"
The Blazing Flame Berserk Lion flew into a rage. Yet the instant its words fell, it saw Su Xiuyi vanish from where he stood and appear directly before it.
"Is that the Space Beast's innate divine ability, Teleportation?" The Blazing Sun Berserk Lion's expression changed drastically, its eyes full of terror and bewilderment. Why could a human use a Space Beast's innate divine ability?
Before it could figure it out, Su Xiuyi brought his hand down squarely on the Blazing Sun Berserk Lion's head. Zhan Wushuang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shot backward. The next instant, the Blazing Flame Berserk Lion's body burst into pieces, blood spraying across the sky.
From beginning to end, Su Xiuyi's expression remained utterly calm, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Far away, Zhan Wushuang stared at Su Xiuyi, his pupils contracting rapidly. Sensing the icy presence pouring from Su Xiuyi, his eyes filled with terror. The invisible pressure made his whole body tremble. Zhan Wushuang knew the Blazing Flame Berserk Lion's strength; it was truly no weakling, yet before Su Xiuyi, it had been no more than an ant.
Su Xiuyi's white robes fluttered as the presence he unconsciously radiated spread in every direction, sealing off the surrounding space. Zhan Wushuang had no hope of escape.
"You're eager for a fight, aren't you? Today, I'm taking both your arms. Cut them off yourself, and you may leave." Recalling how Zhan Wushuang had provoked Wang Lin, who had lost both arms, Su Xiuyi parted his lips and stated his demand. Rather than kill Zhan Wushuang, he wanted him to know the pain of losing both arms.
When Su Xiuyi's words fell, Zhan Wushuang felt the space sealed off by his invisible presence. His expression grew graver than it had been when he faced Wang Lin. Back then, he could still use the situation to make Ji Zhan stop Wang Lin, but here, there was not a soul for miles. There was no chance anyone would save him.
Zhan Wushuang could tell that Su Xiuyi's cultivation was indeed at the Soaring Sky Ninth Level, yet he found Su Xiuyi terrifyingly powerful. The difference between him and the Sky Soaring geniuses Zhan Wushuang had fought in recent days was like that between heaven and earth.
As an expert, Zhan Wushuang naturally sensed the danger and how terrifying Su Xiuyi was.
Su Xiuyi was too strong. His presence suffocated him.
Yet despite his grave expression, excitement and bloodlust appeared in Zhan Wushuang's eyes. His fighting spirit surged to its peak, and sparks of excitement flickered in his gaze.
"You're strong, but you want me to mutilate myself? Do you think that's possible?"
"Hahaha!"
"I like this feeling! This is what I wanted! I never thought that besides the dazzlingly gifted Su Xiuyi, the Southern Heaven Academy would have someone like you. Shen Dong? Ji Wuming? Compared to you, they're nothing but trash."
"Now my blood is boiling. Come, fight!"
Like a madman, Zhan Wushuang had grown this frenzied in the face of mortal danger.
In an instant, Zhan Wushuang moved. Like a starving wolf with bloodthirsty eyes, he charged at the white-robed Su Xiuyi, a black saber appearing in his hand.
"God-Slaying Single-Saber Slash!"
"Rumble!"
The instant the black saber slashed out, terrifying power ran wild. The muscles, bones, and blood vessels throughout Zhan Wushuang's body seemed ready to burst, and his presence climbed to a new level. Su Xiuyi noticed that Zhan Wushuang seemed to have activated his bloodline power for this slash, making it more than twice as powerful as when he fought Shen Dong before the Southern Heaven Academy.
One Will Character after another appeared.
Zhan Wushuang actually had a full nine manifested Will Characters. His talent was terrifyingly strong.
The slash seemed to contain all of Zhan Wushuang's power.
Zhan Wushuang seemed to have undergone a transformation. Under Su Xiuyi's terrifying power, he had improved tremendously. Feeling his own strength, Zhan Wushuang's lips curved with bloodlust.
The slash was brimming with fighting spirit, as though it no longer belonged to the Sky Soaring Realm. At that moment, Zhan Wushuang had gained a trace of a Cloudbreach presence.
He was breaking through.
Zhan Wushuang had always planned to break straight through to Cloudbreach after winning a hundred battles. Now, facing Su Xiuyi, he found him too terrifying, so he chose to break through, intending to enter Cloudbreach completely and crush Su Xiuyi. The immense power left Zhan Wushuang somewhat lost. His eyes turned scarlet, and he seemed to have become a god of slaughter.
Yet under that terrifying gale, Su Xiuyi's white robes fluttered. His eyes remained utterly calm, and he showed no intention of drawing his sword.
