Chapter 196: Sweeping Away All Opposition
Chapter 196: Sweeping Away All Opposition
"What?"
"Did he just kill Blood Sentinel with a single spear strike?"
"Isn't that Seven-Star Human Martial Artist only 19th Rank?" Delgardo and Mori, still engaged in battle hundreds of meters away, were shocked beyond belief.
They were well aware of Blood Sentinel's strength, and logically, he should have been able to hold his own against 20th and 21st Rank powerhouses for a period of time.
But against a peer of the same rank, he was taken out with a single exchange?
No! To be precise, he was defeated in an instant.
This implied an unimaginable disparity in strength between the two.
"Could that 19th Rank Seven-Star Human Martial Artist be the top genius among the Seven-Star Civilizations?"
"Blood Sentinel is dead."
"This is bad." Delgardo and Mori's minds were in turmoil. It wasn't that they thought Li Yuan posed a threat to them.
But Blood Sentinel was dead.
A 19th Rank capable of Mind Penetration, while not the most core disciple among the three Holy Grounds of the Tianliang Clan, was still considered a formidable genius. Achieving the status of a top-tier Essence Warrior in the future would have been almost effortless.
Yet, he was now dead.
And he died under their protection?
It could be said that even if they managed to return alive, they would still face 'punishment' from the Tianliang Clan's elite.
This was why, from the start of the battle, they had prioritized Blood Sentinel's escape.
...
"Is Xu An that formidable?" Miao Wei's heart was no less shaken than Delgardo and Mori's.
She was aware of Blood Sentinel's general information and had guessed that the fleeing figure in the blood-red robe was likely a Holy Ground Disciple of the Tianliang Clan.
But now, he had been killed by Li Yuan in a single move.
"How did he do it?" A thought flashed through Miao Wei's mind, and she suddenly recalled Liu Jing's words during their journey to Flying Serpent Valley, 'In certain aspects, Xu An is no less than you.'
At the time, she hadn't believed it, but now she did.
"Was it a Mental Shock?" Liu Jing was the most composed, as he was only suppressing Delgardo and had yet to unleash his true strength.
Of all of them, Liu Jing was the least surprised by Li Yuan's one-hit kill of Blood Sentinel.
...
"His technique is impressive. Clearly, he's only at 19.3 Rank, but the power and speed of his burst rival that of a 20th Rank Martial Artist. He must have achieved Mind Penetration." Li Yuan glanced at the corpse of his opponent, recalling the teachings of Teacher Xu Bo.
With a direct strike, the body was torn into four pieces.
"It's a pity his Spirit Power is quite average, probably around the 20th or 21st Rank."
"If you had Source Power Armor, you might have lasted a few more moves." Li Yuan thought to himself.
With Source Power Armor, one's chances of survival increase tenfold.
Without it?
If Li Yuan hadn't used Mental Shock and had engaged in a normal fight, Blood Sentinel could have withstood dozens of moves, as their strength and speed were on par.
But when Blood Sentinel was momentarily stunned by Li Yuan's Shake God Mental Secret Technique, and without the protection of armor, his fate was sealed in an instant.
After all, even Liu Jing, whose Spirit Power rivaled that of a top-tier Essence Warrior, had been momentarily dazed by Li Yuan's Mental Shock.
What's more, Blood Sentinel?
Before Li Yuan could finish searching the body, he had already torn it apart.
Boom!
Li Yuan suddenly turned around and, with a burst of force, propelled himself towards the four Essence Warriors.
According to the plan he and Liu Jing had devised earlier, Liu Jing would only unleash his full power and attempt to kill the enemies when Li Yuan used his Shake God Mental Secret Technique at close range.
But what happened next surprised Li Yuan.
As he charged towards the main battlefield, Delgardo and Mori also burst forward, attempting to break free from Liu Jing and Miao Wei's grasp and charge towards Li Yuan.
"You want to kill me?" Li Yuan instantly understood their intention and advanced without retreat.
...
"Halt!" Liu Jing roared.
Seeing Delgardo trying to rush towards Li Yuan, he was also startled. With his Mind Penetration fully unleashed, his sword light was continuous, and his speed and strength surged.
He blocked Delgardo's attempt to escape.
"Clang!" "Clang!" The two clashed repeatedly.
"Swoosh!" A terrifying sword light slashed through the sky, striking Delgardo's body and sending him flying backwards.
Delgardo crashed heavily into a boulder, causing it to explode into countless fragments that shot out in all directions.
He flew another ten meters and collided with a tree, which also toppled. Delgardo finally came to a stop.
A mouthful of blood spurted from his lips.
"Your strength? How can it be so powerful? Have you achieved Mind Penetration?" Delgardo stared at Liu Jing, his heart filled with shock.
Just a moment ago, he had been slightly weaker, but now he was being crushed by Liu Jing's unleashed power.
He truly felt the danger.
"Die!" Liu Jing didn't bother to respond and, with a sword strike that sent Delgardo flying, he unleashed his full power again, pouncing like a ferocious tiger with fierce sword techniques.
Once unleashed, he held nothing back.
Previously, Liu Jing had been concerned that Delgardo might threaten Li Yuan, which was why he had directly unleashed his power.
In truth, if Delgardo hadn't been protected by Source Power Armor, he would have likely been on the brink of death from that sword strike.
This was the purpose of the armor, to cover the entire body and greatly reduce the impact of any attack.
"Kill!" Delgardo gritted his teeth and, gripping his battle sword tightly, charged towards Liu Jing.
...
Mori's strength was no less than Delgardo's, and his physical prowess was even more formidable.
With a swift movement, Mori shook off Miao Wei and charged towards Li Yuan like lightning.
"To be able to kill Blood Sentinel in one move, you must be an unparalleled demon among the Seven-Star Civilizations." Mori glared at Li Yuan, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty intent. "If I kill you, I can redeem my failure."
"Follow me, and we'll escape immediately."
"I don't believe that a 19th Rank Seven-Star Human Martial Artist like you can be that formidable." Mori gritted his teeth, knowing that he had been defeated in a single exchange.
The Seven-Star Human genius before him would be a tough opponent.
But no matter how formidable, with a four-rank difference in Life Tier, how could he withstand the assault?
"Xu An, be careful!" Miao Wei shouted, her heart filled with anxiety. Her speed was also extremely fast, but she had been thrown off earlier and was now half a beat slower than Mori.
What worried Miao Wei even more was that Li Yuan showed no signs of evading and was charging straight towards them.
Suddenly, a cold voice reverberated in Miao Wei's mind, causing her to pause momentarily.
Telepathy!
The Skysoar Level of Spirit Power was incredibly powerful, allowing the formation of a strand of divine perception that could sense all directions... At close range, it enabled mental communication with powerful individuals.
However, at this moment, only Li Yuan could communicate telepathically with Miao Wei, and she couldn't respond.
Even some of the top-tier Essence Warriors possessed the ability to communicate telepathically.
The advantages of telepathy were twofold: first, it was discreet, and second, it ignored spatial barriers, allowing for timely communication and alerts.
After all, when top-tier Essence Warriors reached their combat limits, their movement speeds approached sonic levels, with a few even surpassing the speed of sound... Verbal communication was impossible under such circumstances.
Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and Mori's speeds were terrifyingly fast, and the force they exerted through their legs was equally frightening, causing countless pebbles and dirt to fly in their wake. None of these obstacles could hinder their progress.
Within seven hundred meters, they were about to collide in less than three seconds.
"Kill!" Mori brandished his spear, and a flash of light accompanied the thrust of his spear.
This thrust, fueled by anger, unleashed a terrifying force exceeding 300,000 kilograms.
The standard fist strength of a 24th-level Essence Warrior was 300,000 kilograms.
"Shake God!" Li Yuan's eyes were intimidating, and a powerful mental wave erupted from him, overwhelming Mori.
Although Mori was fast, Li Yuan's mental attack was even faster, allowing him to strike first despite being the second to act.
Boom! Mori felt as if his head had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his entire consciousness roared in response. He almost lost his grip on his battle spear.
Immediately afterward...
"Peng~" A powerful force instantly pierced Mori's throat, and the terrifying impact traveled through his battle intent, causing his entire body to fly backward.
The piercing pain in his throat made Mori instantly lucid, and he tumbled in midair, his eyes filled with fear.
He had just crossed paths with Li Yuan.
"What technique is this? A mental shock?" Mori was shocked: "How did he, a First Rank Martial Artist, manage this?"
Huff...
Mori landed heavily on the ground, feeling excruciating pain in his throat, and a sense of lingering fear washed over him.
If not for his Source Power Armor, that last spear thrust would have pierced his throat.
It would have been an instant kill.
Before Mori could fully comprehend the situation, another terrifying mental shock surged towards him, causing his mind to go blank once more.
"Kill!" Miao Wei finally arrived, attacking like a flash of lightning.
Just now, she had witnessed Li Yuan's terrifying display, but she knew this wasn't the time to investigate further.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Miao Wei's sword light flowed like water, relentlessly pouring down on Mori. Her sword technique's might far surpassed Li Yuan's spear technique.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" In a single exchange, four sword lights had slashed across Mori's throat.
This was the same spot Li Yuan had attacked with his spear earlier.
The first sword slash was blocked by Mori's Source Power Armor, but the second slash almost tore through the armor.
"Huff!" Mori had just regained his senses and felt excruciating pain in his throat. He was about to retreat when...
The last two sword lights flashed by like lightning.
"Pfft!"
Despite the Source Power Armor's resilience, it couldn't withstand four consecutive attacks from a peer-level opponent in such a short time. At that moment, the outer layer of the armor was completely torn apart.
The final sword light grazed Mori's neck, causing blood to gush out uncontrollably.
"What?"
"Me?" Mori's eyes widened, and he instinctively covered his throat, but he couldn't stop the bleeding and couldn't even cry out.
Second Rank experts possessed robust vitality, but if their hearts were shattered or their throats slashed, they would die without other life-saving means.
"Kill!"
With a successful strike, Miao Wei's sword light was like lightning, and a continuous stream of sword lights relentlessly assaulted Mori.
She didn't give Mori any chance to survive.
"Peng~"
As the last sword light passed by, Mori's head flew off, and one of his arms was severed.
Mori, the Second Rank expert from the Talan Clan, was dead.
...
Huff!
After crossing paths with Mori and creating an opportunity for Miao Wei, Li Yuan immediately fled.
Realizing that his spear hadn't truly harmed Mori, Li Yuan instantly understood that his strength was too weak, and his close-quarters combat abilities were far inferior.
Relying solely on mental attacks, it would be challenging to defeat these 'Intermediate Source Warriors' equipped with Source Power Armor.
In confrontations between Source Warriors, Li Yuan's role was primarily supportive.
In just two seconds, Li Yuan sprinted towards the ongoing fierce battle between Delgado and Liu Jing.
Both of these powerful experts wielded battle swords with unmatched ferocity.
Liu Jing, at full power, had completely overwhelmed Delgado, and every collision of their swords produced terrifying sonic booms, shattering boulders and toppling trees along their path.
The battle was incredibly intense.
However, Delgado, the strongest member of the Talan Clan's expeditionary force, possessed exceptional strength. Despite facing the formidable Liu Jing, he had been holding his ground.
Suddenly...
"Boom!" A formidable mental pressure surged towards Delgado, causing his heart to tremble. He had cultivated a mental refinement secret technique, and instinctively, he tried to resist this pressure.
But it was futile, like a small dam trying to hold back a flood.
"Hmm?" A hint of confusion appeared in Delgado's eyes, and the speed of his battle sword slowed sharply.
"Die!" Liu Jing, a master of mind penetration, was well-prepared.
Pfft! A dazzling sword light suddenly slashed across Delgado's neck, and his head flew off in an instant.
Delgado was dead!
After consecutive clashes, Liu Jing had already inflicted severe injuries on Delgado. Now, seizing the opportunity, he delivered a fatal blow.
Thus...
The three strongest members of the Talan Clan's advance team had all perished.
Huff!
Miao Wei had just rushed over and witnessed this scene, her eyes filled with shock.
"They're all dead," Liu Jing said with a smirk, blood still dripping from his battle sword: "Let's examine their bodies first."
"Collect anything valuable."
