Chapter 130: Chapter 124: A Jaw-dropping Blow, Sending You On Your Way!
Bang!
Su Heng's left hand thrust forward, firmly grasping.
A gray-white cloud of gas exploded between them, spreading outward and forming a ring.
"I haven't agreed yet. You, a man over a hundred and forty years old, launching a surprise attack, isn't that somewhat lacking in martial morality?" Su Heng said seriously.
"Surprise attacks are the true essence of overcoming the strong by the weak!" Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, "It is also a part of my martial path."
Boom!
As soon as his voice fell,
his body swelled bit by bit, muscles on his arms bulging, sprouting a mass of black hair.
The strength in his body surged several times over in an instant.
Caught off guard, Su Heng, weighing thousands of pounds, was sent flying directly.
With a thunderous noise, the dusky yellow earthen building behind him collapsed thunderously into ruins, the billowing dust obscuring the morning sunlight.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Dull, oppressive sounds of impact came from within the smoke.
The ground trembled incessantly like a heart, small stones and fragments hanging mid-air.
The faces of more than a dozen elders on both sides showed horror. Most had accompanied Li Daoxuan to ambush the Hong Family's earthen building. It was their first time seeing Su Heng unleashing his full power. Just the leaking traces of his aura were enough to make them feel breathless.
How formidable his true power must be!
Bang!
The final loud noise
was like thunder on the plains, ripping everything apart in an instant.
All the debris pressing on his body burst apart instantly, dark Qi and thick smoke swept around like tides.
The rising sun was completely obscured.
Within the field of vision, everything was a storm of flying rocks and rolling black smoke.
In the center of the black fog, a grand and fierce body slowly advanced, with pitch-black Scale Armor and fiery dark red blood nets, his eyes glinting with a cold, battle-thirsty sickly red light.
The earth seemed unable to bear his overwhelming aura; with every step forward, large cracks spread outward with a snap.
"Is this guy even human? What a joke!"
"The aura of the Eight Phases Secret Skill, how did he cultivate to this level!?"
The elders from the Demon Suppression Bureau on both sides widened their eyes, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit a whole duck egg. The intense aura emanating from Su Heng made them doubt whether they had been cultivating a false Eight Phases Secret Skill all these years. The gap between them was like a firefly to the bright moon, not even close to the same level.
Even deputies like Wang Xindong and Luo Shuang, who had previously witnessed Su Heng take action, were no exception.
"No wonder Li Daoxuan never worries about problems arising with the Demon Suppression Tower." Wang Xindong sighed deeply, "Such strength, indeed as the master said, allows one to push forward with brute force, unyielding and blasting through any opposition!"
As Li Daoxuan's senior disciple.
Wang Xindong was also over a hundred years old, but seeing Su Heng in this state still ignited a fiery passion within him.
"Since you want to witness my full strength, then I'll give it to you!"
In the center of everyone's view, Su Heng flicked his long tail onto the ground with a slap. The ground beneath his feet blew apart into a crater, his body a blur, driving a gale and transforming into a straight, pitch-black line as he sharply surged forward.
"Good timing!" Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, his entire body trembling with excitement.
Disregarding life and death, he also drove his strength to the limit, along with thick red smoke.
Black and red, the two thick lines collided directly, no frills involved. Transformed Dragon State battling Demon Ape Transformation, two forces of the same origin obliterated each other, compressing the air, bursting open large swaths of white torrents, constantly surging outwards, leaving water-scoured marks on the ground.
The elders' robes fluttered wildly, and they had to use all their strength to counter the aftermath of the battle.
Shock painted their faces, and they all retreated backwards.
Leaving a larger area for the two to fight to their hearts' content.
"Unleashed!" The Scale Armor on Su Heng expanded, emitting a vast amount of thick smoke. The woven dark red blood nets on his body fiercely lit up, five forces instantly merging into one. Like a mountainous torrent, it was unstoppable, breaking through layer upon layer of defenses. His pitch-black iron fist suddenly landed right in the middle of Li Daoxuan's chest.
Bang!
Despite Li Daoxuan desperately driving his heavenly and earthly forces,
such terrifying power couldn't be resisted at all, and his body was directly sent flying.
In midair, blood began to seep from his nose and mouth. Even though Su Heng was intentionally avoiding causing him harm, Li Daoxuan was gradually being pushed to his limits. But he ignored his own condition, howling long, completely immersed in the battle.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The figures of the two men were like phantoms, exchanging over a hundred punches in the blink of an eye.
Their speed and the intensity of their power clash were such that some of the less experienced elders couldn't react at all. It seemed as though there were a dozen Li Daoxuans and a dozen Su Hengs fighting simultaneously on the open ground in front of them, with the stone debris wrapped in the fierce wind hitting their faces like bullets, causing a sharp pain.
Yet, even so, no one chose to retreat. Instead, they tried to get as close as possible, with wide-open eyes, hoping to learn something more from it.
Even if they learned nothing, just to feel the aura of the strong was greatly beneficial to their future cultivation.
The two exchanged moves hundreds of times in the blink of an eye and finally moved close to each other simultaneously, with four arms colliding, locked in a standoff.
"Is that enough?" Su Heng's eyes grew brighter with a red glow.
Li Daoxuan's pupils, however, turned dull, as if he was gradually about to fall asleep.
"Not enough!"
Suddenly, he shouted loudly, his long gray hair loosening.
"Just this much, how can this be enough!" Li Daoxuan laughed heartily, a laugh so liberating that it seemed to sweep away all his grievances and regrets of over a hundred and forty years, vigorously and fervently stepping towards death under the blazing sun.
"Again!" he shouted, "use all your strength!"
"Alright!"
Both of them simultaneously activated the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil cultivation technique.
Su Heng was far from as proficient in this cultivation technique as Li Daoxuan, not because of lack of talent, but because he lacked the practical experience of winning against the odds. However, Su Heng had a stronger physique, and his vibrational frequency of force was higher. With immense power, he instantly broke through Li Daoxuan's protective force.
He did not continue to strike but leapt into the air amid a series of explosive sounds, flying mid-air.
In a moment, his momentum reached its peak, and his rolling blood energy erupted like a volcano into the sky.
Force unleashed, demons appeared behind him, and the White Snake Demon Pattern empowered his body, boosting the vibrational frequency of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil to a never-before-seen level, a hundredfold or more.
This was truly the limit now.
Even Su Heng's body of Copper Skin and Iron Bones began to feel unbearable.
His Scale Armor crackled, displaying twisted cracks; his blood flowed like raging rivers in his veins, his eyes blood-red, with blood seeping out. His muscles spasmed and twitched uncontrollably. But his fighting spirit and aura reached an unprecedented peak, a feeling of exhilaration like never before.
"The final strike!" Su Heng bellowed, his voice thunderous, "Old man, I'll send you on your way!"
Su Heng stretched his fingers wide, then clenched forcefully.
In an instant, all his force converged onto his left arm, the normally intangible and formless force now so thick and dense, it radiated a golden light in Su Heng's hand. So dazzling that to the onlookers, it appeared as though he held a small sun in his hand.
The dawn's red light was completely obscured; the vast sky fell eerily silent.
Everything around fell quiet; no sound could be heard. Wang Xindong and others widened their eyes as everything around them seemed drawn towards Su Heng, with even their own hair and robes fluttering upwards, suspended in mid-air, constantly trembling, swiftly converging towards Su Heng.
Bang!
The golden halo violently exploded, and with it, Su Heng's demonic body also vanished without a trace. Find your next read on mvl
A magnificent and splendid beam of golden light, capable of overshadowing the sun itself, stretched straight outwards. It grazed past Li Daoxuan's ear, snipping a few strands of his gray hair, then heavily struck the distant mountainside below.
Time seemed to freeze as if nothing had happened.
Only after several heartbeats did a dull, thunderous boom, like roaring thunder, roll over from afar.
First, a blazingly hot dark red beam shot straight into the sky, followed by a succession of massive explosions spreading outward. Trees along its path collapsed thunderously, engulfed by the gray-black dust storm raised by the blast. The ground heaved and shook continuously, with cracks wide enough to engulf entire buildings twisting and spreading.
Boom!
The sandstorm, moving at hundreds of meters per second, suddenly struck, darkening the sky, and sending sand and rocks flying.
Some elders collapsed directly onto the ground, ungracefully pulling their robes over their heads, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Only after several breaths did the sandstorm pass. The sky cleared again, warm and bright sunlight shining down, and these people then shakily stood back up.
Under the golden sunlight, Li Daoxuan and Su Heng, two successive Governors of the Demon Suppression Bureau, stood side by side.
Li Daoxuan's pupils were dilated, his light dimmed, already completely devoid of life.
But his aged face still bore a trace of a liberating smile.
On the other side,
Next to Li Daoxuan, Su Heng's black robe fluttered wildly. Facing the sunrise, his face was not visible, only leaving to the onlookers a broad and robust back.
Witnessing the fall of a legend, although some were mentally prepared,
they couldn't help but feel a sting in their noses, their eyes turning red, covering their faces with their hands and crying out.
Some other elders were still immersed in the awe of Su Heng's final strike, its earth-shattering power. Was such a feat really possible by human hands?
Luo Shuang tip-toed carefully next to Su Heng, peeking out.
But she saw below the hillside, where the once lush forest had largely vanished into thin air. A giant hole, hundreds of meters in diameter, abruptly appeared at the center of the forest, clear spring water seeping out from its bottom, quickly forming a calm pond.
And around the pond, where trees should be growing, the land was completely leveled and broad.
Whether it was underbrush or tall trees, all were uprooted by the force of the punch, utterly destroyed, leaving only radial lines of impact. Only further out, hundreds of meters away, could one see some broken trees, thick stumps, etc., attesting to the terrifying destructive power of that ultimate punch.
