Chapter 210: Chapter 102: Turtle Breathing Qi Armor! Vast like the Abyssal Sea!_5
“I hope you like the gift I’ve prepared for you!” Li Hun’s face was filled with a sinister smile.
Li Hun was out to deal with Sikong Yong; he had obtained support from somewhere, and his backers had directly lent him eight Divine Arm Crossbows!
All eight Divine Arm Crossbows had been set up, aimed at the square, which was also why Li Hun had chosen this location for the negotiation—it was open enough.
Eight Divine Arm Crossbows, each operated by a martial artist who had achieved Body Refinement Great Achievement and was skilled in archery. At this realm, the internal organs were enhanced, and their eyesight and reflexes far exceeded those of an ordinary person; hitting an apple hundreds of meters away was a cinch!
Eight Divine Arm Crossbows were equivalent to eight formidable experts whom it was difficult to confront head-on with mere flesh and blood. Coupled with the thousands of elite fighters on the island and about twenty good hands in the Qi-Blood Realm, this was a veritable net of heaven and earth. Even if Sikong Yong was known as one of the strongest in Ink Forest Prefecture City, he would have no chance of escape and was destined only to fall here in defeat.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
From hundreds of meters away, in seven or eight different directions, atop the lookout towers, massive arrows as thick as a man’s arm were propelled by the Divine Arm Crossbows, shooting forth faster than the speed of sound!
Most of them were aimed at Su Changkong.
Su Changkong’s brows slightly furrowed; his figure flickered like a Spirit Deer stretching its body.
“Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!”
The massive arrows all grazed past Su Changkong’s body, with the majority of the shaft burying deep into the rocky ground, capable of piercing through armor—but missing the target made them worthless!
“Roar!”
On the other hand, Zhao Tianhuo, Gao An, and the others were also dodging repeatedly. One of the arrows was aimed at the weakened Sikong Zhan. Zhao Tianhuo roared and leaped out, his Qi and blood surging as he ferociously punched the side of the massive arrow, knocking it off its original course.
“Crack! Crack!”
At this moment, above Ghost Island, a series of dazzling fireworks burst, signaling the start of the attack!
“Kill! Kill them all!”
Outside of Ghost Island, pirates on their ships, upon seeing the fireworks in the sky, began to howl loudly.
“These damned bastards! Attack!”
The martial artists of the Giant Whale Gang, seeing the fireworks, also understood that the negotiations on the island had failed, and it was likely they had already turned violent. What they could do now was engage in battle and fight to the death with these pirates, to see who would truly be the master of the Blue Rain Sea!
Combatants from both sides—the pirates included—on dozens of warships, totaling tens of thousands of people, engaged in fierce battle in this region of the sea.
On Ghost Island.
“Protect yourselves! I’ll take care of them!”
Su Changkong said to Sikong Huang and the others. Now there was nothing more to say—it was only to kill! To fight until they crumbled! To fight until they were filled with dread!
“Gang Leader… be careful!” Zhao Tianhuo shouted loudly.
Despite having no confidence in ‘Sikong Yong’ facing so many top fighters, all they could do was to trust him, as it was their only chance to survive!
The eight Divine Arm Crossbows were in the process of resetting, reloading their arrows.
“Sikong Yong! Let me have a bout with you! If you dare, take this punch from me!”
Amidst roaring laughter, a bald and burly giant over two meters tall in armor came striding towards Su Changkong. Saying he walked would not do justice to his movements; with each step, he covered a distance of nearly ten meters, faster than running.
This bald giant was none other than Tie Jinggang, the Ninth Grand Thief, whose mastery of Horizontal Training Hard Skill made him a match for few in Ink Forest Prefecture City!
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
As he rushed forward, Tie Jinggang’s bones rattled loudly, and his skin began to shine with a thick metallic luster that, combined with the Qi and blood rising from his head, seemed to morph his muscles into metal and steel. His already colossal frame expanded further, and the terrifying aura he emitted was so oppressive it made breathing difficult for those around him.
“Vajra Fist. Angry Vajra!”
In just a few strides, Tie Jinggang appeared before Su Changkong, his fist glowing with a metallic blood light. He smashed it towards Su Changkong, the raw power tearing through the air, and the intense force created twisted the very atmosphere!
Just like Meng Sang, Tie Jinggang was at the peak of the Qi Blood Six Transformation, but when it came to combat strength, he had the upper hand over Meng Sang!
Five Animal Frolics. Descending Tiger!
Su Changkong’s Qi and blood surged within his body. Facing the formidable Tie Jinggang, Su Changkong’s hunting spirit was aroused, and with a clenched right fist, he accumulated punching power and smashed out with a punch.
“Roar!”
Though there was no sound, a roar that trembled through the mountains and forests exploded in Tie Jinggang’s ears. Su Changkong before him seemed to transform into a Descending Tiger, pouncing wildly, suppressing Tie Jinggang’s astonishingly fierce and malicious aura.
“Boom!”
The two heavy fists collided without any fancy moves, causing a loud explosive noise. A wild wind swept all around, and the ground where the two stood caved into a huge pit, as if struck by a giant hammer.
It was hard to imagine that such a terrifying power could erupt from a body of flesh and blood!
Both men’s bodies shook at the same time, neither yielding in their head-on collision.
But Su Changkong didn’t pause for a moment. His left hand fingers came together as if they were a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely toward Tie Jinggang’s abdomen. He was still using Tiger Play, integrating the essence of Form-Intention Fist into his technique. Su Changkong’s moves were unpredictable, emphasizing intention over form!
“Pfft!”
Tie Jinggang’s abdomen flickered with a dark red metallic luster. Su Changkong’s stabbing fingers didn’t meet the resistance he expected, like piercing iron. When he hit Tie Jinggang’s abdomen, the muscles there became soft and highly elastic, like a clump of cotton, completely dissipating the force of Su Changkong’s stab. The abdominal muscles constricted tightly, able to deform even metal blocks, trapping Su Changkong’s hand firmly!
At the same time, Tie Jinggang’s hands tightly gripped Su Changkong’s wrists.
“You’ll only be released when you’re dead!”
Tie Jinggang grinned. He had cultivated Horizontal Training Hard Skill to a level beyond the reach of ordinary people. When hard, his muscles were as tough as steel, resistant to blades and spears, and when soft, his muscles and bones were like cowhide and cotton, capable of absorbing heavy blows, combining hardness with flexibility.
Whoosh!
A sound of something slicing through the air arose, and at the same time, two ghostly shadows appeared from the right side and behind — they were the Ghost Shadow Elder in grey clothes and Shattered Soul Hand Li Hun!
“Hehehe! Sikong Yong! This old man will see your soul shattered right here!”
The Ghost Shadow Elder let out a hoarse, strange laugh. As a long-renowned expert and the mentor of Li Hun, despite his advanced age and declining Qi and blood, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Before the laughter reached them, the Ghost Shadow Elder, dragging a series of afterimages, appeared to Su Changkong’s left. With Su Changkong’s left hand clamped down by Tie Jinggang and a wide-open left side, the Ghost Shadow Elder slid out a black dagger, reeking of blood, from his sleeve and grasped it in his withered hand, stabbing towards Su Changkong’s waist, fast as a venomous snake.
“Shattered Soul Hand. Broken Heart and Pulse!”
Behind Su Changkong, the pale-faced Li Hun appeared. His left hand emitted a ghastly green Qi light, soul-piercing, and without a word, he slammed a palm strike towards Su Changkong’s back, using a fierce and cruel killer move.
Three great experts attacked collectively; Tie Jinggang leveraged his formidable Horizontal Training External strength to bind Su Changkong, while Li Hun and Ghost Shadow Elder took the opportunity to strike lethal blows.
They believed that even Sikong Yong, known as one of the top experts in Ink Forest Prefecture City, would inevitably be unable to withstand this and would meet his end here, helpless and alone!
However…
“Roar!”
Faced with the siege of three opponents, each not inferior to Meng Sang and perhaps even stronger, Su Changkong felt his blood boiling and his fighting spirit igniting. From his throat burst forth a long howl, akin to a thunderclap above the vast sea, clear and audible for miles around!
Even those who were already fighting outside Ghost Island in the Blue Rain Sea heard it loud and clear.
“What?”
Tie Jinggang, Li Hun, and Ghost Shadow Elder all changed their expressions simultaneously.
“Thunderrumble!”
From Su Changkong’s eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even every pore of his body, a True Qi like a tsunami and mountain collapse crazily poured out, accompanied by the sound of huge waves crashing and rolling, a massive oppressive force bearing down!
Like a small boat facing towering waves!
As vast as the sea! As profound as the abyss!
Unimaginable, that a person could cultivate their Inner Strength to such a profound level!
