Fate upon His Shoulders
A murderous intent surged in Long Chiyu's eyes!
"Kid, you think you can beat me just because you've broken through?"
His voice, like thunder, echoed through the mountains and forests, "Today, on behalf of the Sun Moon Federation, I will rid you of this scourge!"
In its Martial Soul Avatar state, the Mountain and River Sword had grown to two zhang in length. The patterns of mountains and rivers were clearly visible on the sword's blade, as if a real Mountain and River had been condensed into this one sword!
He gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down at Bai Yushan with a thunderous roar!
There is no name for the Soul Skill.
Because in his Martial Soul Avatar state, every sword strike he makes is Soul Skill!
The bluish-gray sword shadow, obscuring the sky and carrying the weight of a real Mountain and River, pressed down on Bai Yushan!
Bai Yushan looked at the overwhelming sword shadows, his scarlet eyes filled with not a trace of fear, but only an even more frenzied fighting spirit!
"Good timing!"
He roared, and crimson lightning began to gather wildly on his right fist!
The Five Beast Way: Profound Meaning - The Five Beasts Merged Essence Form!
Five illusory figures of beastly power—tiger, deer, bear, ape, and crane—simultaneously appeared behind him, then merged into one, transforming into a five-colored beam of light that poured into his right fist!
Electric Current Push of 500,000 volts, it pours in with all its might!
Armament Haki, fully Entanglement!
Conqueror's Haki, fully activated!
The three forces merged perfectly at this moment!
His right fist transformed into a blood-red ball of lightning, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction!
Then, he threw a punch!
"Fist Bone! Collision!!!"
The crimson fist shadow and the bluish-gray sword shadow collided fiercely in mid-air!
"Boom--!!!!"
A deafening explosion rocked the central area of Star Dou Great Forest!
The dazzling light illuminated the entire mountain forest as if it were daytime!
The Impact spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact! Trees within a radius of a hundred feet were uprooted! The ground was scraped bare, revealing the underlying rock layers!
The entire Star Dou Great Forest trembled slightly under this attack!
The smoke and dust cleared.
The two figures retreated.
Bai Yushan knelt on the ground, covered in blood, his right arm bone deformed, clearly suffering a severe injury. Yet his eyes remained bloodshot, still crazed, still burning with an indomitable fighting spirit!
Long Chiyu stood ten feet away, the light of his Martial Soul Avatar dimmed slightly, and a fine crack appeared on the blade of the Mountain and River Sword!
His chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he had also suffered a great deal of exhaustion.
But the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
"Great... very good!"
Long Chiyu's voice was icy and filled with killing intent, "To be able to withstand one of my sword strikes and survive under the influence of Martial Soul Avatar, you have reason to be proud!"
He slowly raised the Mountain and River Sword, and a bluish-gray light once again condensed on the blade!
"Unfortunately, it ends here!"
Bai Yushan slowly stood up, shook his deformed right arm, and the electric current crackled on his arm as the dislocated bones were forcibly put back in place.
He raised his head, looked at Long Chiyu, and grinned with a ferocious smile.
"Is this the end?"
"My battle has only just begun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, shooting towards Long Chiyu!
Long Chiyu snorted coldly, and swept his Mountain and River Sword horizontally to meet the attack!
A man and a sword clashed once more in this utterly destroyed mountain forest!
Fists and swords, blood and ash, thunder and Mountain and River!
Every collision triggered a massive explosion!
Each clash adds another deep crater to the ground!
With the boost from the 500,000 volts of Electric Current Push, Bai Yushan's speed had surpassed the realm of Soul Saint! His figure transformed into countless blood-red afterimages, launching a storm of attacks on Long Chiyu from all directions!
Long Chiyu, relying on the powerful defense and attack of his Martial Soul Avatar, fought steadily, each sword strike carrying the force of a collapsing Mountain and River, blocking Bai Yushan's attacks one by one, while constantly counterattacking!
The battle between the two has reached a fever pitch!
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.
On the ground, gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
Two figures appeared and disappeared amidst the smoke and dust, each appearance accompanied by a deafening roar!
Bai Yushan's body was covered in wounds, but his attacks were becoming more and more ferocious!
The 500,000 volts of Electric Current Push his regenerative abilities to a terrifying level. Any wound that wasn't instantly fatal could heal within moments!
Meanwhile, Long Chiyu's Martial Soul Avatar was being consumed at an increasingly rapid pace. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and the cracks on the Mountain and River Sword were multiplying!
But his killing intent remained undiminished!
As a member of the Sun Moon Long Clan, he absolutely could not allow this monster from another dimension to leave this place alive!
Two bluish-gray flames ignited in Long Chiyu's eyes.
He sensed it.
I felt a heavy responsibility fall on my shoulders.
The Sun Moon Long Clan, with a lineage spanning thousands of years, has guarded the continent and protected all living beings.
Today, this young man before him is the scourge he must eliminate!
"Kill!"
A roar echoed through the mountains and forests.
Long Chiyu took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded.
At this moment, he pushed the power of his Battle Armor and Martial Soul Avatar to their limits!
The Mountain and River Sword trailed behind him, its bluish-gray sword energy carving a bottomless ravine in the ground, sending soil and rocks flying.
His figure moved with extreme speed, almost transforming into a streak of bluish-gray lightning, rushing straight towards Bai Yushan!
The longsword was raised, and without any fancy opening moves, it came down from above, cleaving down on the head!
Third Soul Skill: Mountain and River Shatter!
With this sword strike, he did not release his Soul Power outwards, but instead compressed all the power of the Mountain and River into the sword itself.
Before the sword even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the ground at the foot of Bai Yushan to collapse inch by inch!
Blood-red light surged in Bai Yushan's pupils.
He did not back down.
Electric Current Push through his body. His right foot took a sudden half-step forward, his body slightly lowered, and his right fist shot out from his waist like a cannonball!
Five Beast Way - Bear Palm Mountain-Shaking Strike!
A jet-black fist and a bluish-gray sword blade collided violently in mid-air!
"Clang--!!!"
The deafening clang of metal against metal was so loud it nearly shattered eardrums.
A terrifying Impact emanated from the two individuals, radiating outwards in all directions. The ground within a ten-foot radius was completely sheared off! The remaining trees around them were torn to shreds by the Impact, as if they were made of paper!
Bai Yushan's body sank downwards, his feet sinking deep into the soil, his knees and below completely submerged. The muscles in his right arm trembled slightly, and fine cracks appeared on its dark surface.
That was a heavy sword strike!
But his counterattack followed immediately.
Using the force of Long Chiyu's longsword pressing down, Bai Yushan's left hand, with fingers pointing like a halberd, stabbed out like lightning towards Long Chiyu's armpit!
Five Beast Way - Deer Antlers Pierce the Sun Thrust!
An electric current condensed at the fingertips, emitting a sharp buzzing sound.
Long Chiyu reacted extremely quickly, advancing instead of retreating, his left shoulder suddenly slumped, and the mountain-shaped patterns on his shoulder armor lit up abruptly, as he forcefully slammed into Bai Yushan's wrist!
