Abandoning Humanity
The Heavenly Martial Killing Way originated from the story of the Electric Eye, who, in order to unleash the potential of the Tiandao, embarked on a path of certain death. However, due to the Tiandao Path's carelessness, he was ultimately defeated. During the time he spent healing himself, he created the Heavenly Martial Killing Way.
However, judging from the history of this practice, it is clearly not suitable for normal people.
Those who achieve mastery of this method are either mentally unstable due to a series of setbacks, or are born madmen. It seems that every practitioner has an uncontrollable beast within them, which gradually erodes their inner self.
Now, it's clear that Zhang Xianzhong has had his brains eaten.
Nidhogg's Bite pierced Zhang Xianzhong's chest, leaving behind deadly venom. Almost instantly, Zhang Xianzhong's chest felt as if it had been invaded by the roots of a plant, with blood vessels bulging and turning a vibrant green.
With a tearing sound, accompanied by the sickening thud of muscle fibers being ripped apart, blood gushed forth. Zhang Xianzhong, without hesitation, reached into his own chest and ripped open a piece of flesh soaked in deadly poison.
Bai Mo looked at Zhang Xianzhong with some doubt. This guy's behavior was obviously a bit strange. If the goal was to force out the toxins, there were many methods available using Magnetic Field Power.
The current method is both barbaric and inefficient.
"It was like a wild beast tearing apart rotten flesh."
Qin Liangyu spoke slowly. After a tearing sound, Zhang Xianzhong looked down to check and could no longer see the green color. He was sitting on the ground, clapping his hands as if he were celebrating.
"Is Bai Mo out of his mind, or is he just playing a trick on us?"
Qin Liangyu sensed something was wrong. This incomprehensible fellow had triggered the most basic genetic logic of humanity, making her uneasy.
Just like seeing a mentally ill person on the street, if it's a murderer, they most likely wouldn't do it in public. But if it's a madman, then it's hard to say.
Bai Mo looked at this guy, rubbed his chin, and recalled what had happened before. A look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Landao Tianwu's choice of this guy was not without reason. If he made him the leader of Blue Country because he was easy to control, then this guy should have been abandoned after the first defeat."
When the base was attacked, this guy's modifications were clearly incomplete. If the only goal was power, they could have equipped his brain with a more powerful Dream Creator.
It seems that even an artificial intelligence is adept at Supreme Principles for Ordering the World predictions, most of which contain some kind of guidance. This guy is of great help to their plans.
Bai Mo sheathed Nidhogg's Bite and walked forward step by step, like an observer.
"It seems that what wasn't apparent back then has now blossomed before my eyes—the power in the Supreme Principles for Ordering the World prophecy that could help him, and the reason they wanted to protect Zhang Xianzhong."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo raised his hand and attacked. He was also skilled in the Heavenly Martial Killing Way and was ready to test what was so special about this so-called Self-Breaking Way.
Zhang Xianzhong's body recovered rapidly, and his powerful strength surged. The strength that had been severely damaged before was quickly restored. He looked at Bai Mo, but a trace of fear would occasionally flash in his eyes.
Fists flew everywhere as Bai Mo launched a relentless attack, but the Zhang Xianzhong before him was clearly very different from before.
He spread his legs wide to avoid the Decapitation Way, then lay on all fours like a beast, his physique incredibly bizarre. After dodging Bai Mo's attack with all four limbs, he lay on the ground like a wild animal, his belly exposed.
This is a stance used in wild animal combat, allowing full use of all four limbs to effectively defend against the opponent's attacks. Bai Mo slapped his hand, and the Heaven-Severing Way instantly erupted, its surging power filling the small room.
"Wow! Don't kill me! I have a granddaughter who's eighteen years old..."
Bai Mo only protected Qin Liangyu. Although the power of the Heaven-Severing Way was not actively directed at them, its destructive power was fully displayed in this small room.
A grenade inside a sealed vehicle is far more lethal than one on open ground.
Before they could even utter a word of pleading, most of the people before them were torn apart by this power, like lean meat thrown into a meat grinder. But one figure tumbled and leaped through the Storm of power, accurately dodging every attack.
"Oh ho? Looks like this trick actually has some merit; it's not just a useless act of mysticism."
Within the Strongman Space, the Cinan watched his figure. Although it still appeared to be a performance, his gaze was more focused. Judging from the strength Zhang Xianzhong had previously displayed, his power was most likely activated by the Dream Creator.
Therefore, in Bai Mo's view, although this guy has 950,000 horsepower, there's probably a lot of exaggeration in that figure. To reach that number under the stimulation of the Dream Creator is quite a gift.
However, with few rivals and a significant power gap, it was impossible to expect this guy to the Complete Realm of his cultivation. He basically lived a life of unbridled indulgence.
In the past, facing this Heaven-Severing Way, he might not have been killed, but he would never have suffered such insignificant damage.
"In a way, this is also the realm of 'no moves are better than moves' in martial arts. Swords, spears, clubs, fists, feet, palms, and claws are fighting methods created by humankind through its own wisdom. If human wisdom were lost, their form might look like this."
Tiandao added a comment from the side, while also letting out a deep sigh.
How many martial arts masters can achieve the realm they aspire to, only to end up abandoning humanity and becoming beasts? In a way, this is quite poignant.
Meanwhile, outside, Bai Mo was also analyzing the situation in real time.
"The movements lacked any skill, relying entirely on instinct, but this instinct almost exceeded what one would expect from someone of this caliber; even some strong individuals might not possess such a level of agility."
Bai Mo withdrew his stance and observed and analyzed Zhang Xianzhong before him. No, it was somewhat inappropriate to refer to this beast by his name now; Bai Mo was observing what was so special about this guy's Self-Breaking Way.
That's why the artificial intelligence Landao Tianwu cares so much about it.
"Judging from the current situation, this move is not a means of killing, but a kind of self-strengthening... no, perhaps it is more appropriate to say it is a transformation. After using it, one almost completely loses all martial arts techniques."
However, his Complete Realm has improved significantly, and his perception and reaction speed have been greatly enhanced, as if he has transformed from a human living in civilization into a wild beast surviving in the forest.
Bai Mo analyzed as he sized up the guy in front of him.
However, this Self-Breaking Way seems to have a significant flaw. From the very beginning, Zhang Xianzhong showed absolutely no intention of attacking Bai Mo. His gaze was mostly fixed on the outside world, as if he wanted to escape.
Bai Mo brandished the Blade of Hell, its Solar Eclipse and Waning Moon techniques surging towards him, crisscrossing and intersecting. But his movements suddenly became like a monkey's, awkwardly dodging and then being thrown into the crowd of people killed by Heaven-Severing Way.
"Hmm, sniff."
Once inside the pile of flesh, Zhang Xianzhong's expression changed. He rummaged around with both hands, finally pulling out a thigh and biting into it.
He made smacking noises, his expression resembling that of a teddy bear drinking milk, a blissful smile on his face. This scene, witnessed by others and Qin Liangyu, evoked a sense of unease and disgust.
"Damn it, is this even human?"
The remaining survivors let out desperate the Scream. This is why a madman is more terrifying than a villain. This guy who just wanted to be king and emperor now looks at them with the eyes of someone looking at food!
