Chapter 259: Twenty Years of Forging a Sword, Entering Sainthood and Slaying the Martial Saint (Part 1)
Boom!
The terrifying explosion shook the entire city, and countless falling raindrops burst into ink-colored mist.
The ground began to crack, and the city crumbled endlessly!
The entire Ink City seemed to be unable to withstand this terrifying impact, as if it were about to shatter into pieces.
Two mushroom clouds, each a hundred zhang tall, rose into the sky, slowly merging and intertwining, and then a layer of scorching hot mushroom clouds poured down from both sides.
But on the ground, there was a figure like a thunderbolt, moving as fast as lightning.
It seemed to split the entire city in half, dividing heaven and earth!
Against the surging ripples and waves!
The destructive shockwave that shattered everything impacted on his body, yet it couldn't move him even a hair's breadth, as if an invisible force had directly repelled him!
Eight steps across, eight steps as fast as thunder!
Li Che unleashed all his power, revealing all his trump cards!
The straw hat exploded in the raging wind, but the Ox Demon mask remained intact, shimmering with flowing light, as if electric arcs were dancing out from his eyes, constantly crackling and jumping!
Ascending!
Dragon and Elephant!
Heavenly Energy!
At this moment, Li Che was like a fully ignited cannonball, unleashing the most extreme burst of power!
His martial will was refined to the extreme!
Li Che's martial realm, though only at the Heaven and Man As One stage of the Primordial Great Master.
However, in terms of combat power, he was not inferior to any Supreme Great Master.
But when facing the Martial Saint, he was still a bit lacking, feeling somewhat constrained.
Even now, having cultivated several Divine Seed Martial Arts to the Grand Completion stage, he was still somewhat lacking!
But Li Che was fearless!
His various trump cards were unleashed, and even the Martial Saint would likely lose a layer of skin!
Moreover, Li Che believed that in a battle against Su Wenxi, a Martial Saint, the Dragon and Elephant Vajra Fruit would definitely bring about tremendous growth and improvement in maturity!
Even if it was just for the maturity of the Dao Fruit, it was enough to attract Li Che to fight with all his might against Su Wenxi.
Not to mention, Su Wenxi was the head of the Su Family...
That Su Family head that Li Che detested the most!
With a clench of his five fingers, the Golden Treasure Eight Trigram Thunder Dragon Staff immediately fell into Li Che's hand. His sturdy body continued to grow taller, and his muscles stacked like tuberous roots, with thick tendons roaring and howling!
The Primordial True Energy surged from his meridians, coiling around the Golden Treasure Eight Trigram Thunder Dragon Staff!
In an instant, it vibrated and shook!
The Primordial True Energy seemed to merge with the Dragon and Elephant Heavenly Energy, unleashing a ferocious onslaught!
Whoosh!
Li Che took a heavy step forward!
In an instant!
Within the two mushroom clouds that had exploded and risen a hundred zhang, a sudden void opened up, as if torn apart by an infinite force!
Su Wenxi's black hair danced wildly, and his skin seemed to be scorched by an extreme heat, turning bright red, and one could even see the blood within his veins, solidified like pearls!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
Much of his flesh was scorched and blurred, revealing large patches of charred blackness.
Even the body of a Martial Saint was not spared from significant injuries at this moment!
"Injured..."
"I actually... got injured!"
Su Wenxi opened his mouth, and with each breath, dragon-like energy flowed out.
The twin mushroom clouds' bombardment was extremely terrifying, and the damage it caused was not from the heat energy or shockwaves produced by the explosion, but from the twisted domain that had a powerful divine radiation impact on his soul spirit!
It was a strange radiation force, like the divine radiation in the Strange Shrine, compressed to the extreme and then unleashed!
Terrifying!
Extremely terrifying!
This Netherworld had countless bizarre and formidable means.
Bang!
Su Wenxi's body moved, and in an instant, he dove towards the outside of the exploding mushroom cloud like a thunderbolt!
He wanted to break out of this domain that was shaking his soul spirit!
Su Wenxi's biggest weakness was not his physical body or martial skills but his divine nature!
His divine nature cultivation was only at the Divine Essence Embryo Transformation Great True Person stage, which was his greatest flaw and the most likely to be amplified in this battle.
If it were a Martial Saint fighting against another, Su Wenxi would not fear unless the opponent had broken through in both martial arts and divine nature, shedding their mortal Divine Embryo.
In a pure Martial Saint confrontation, everyone's divine nature cultivation was on par, so he had no worries.
But this time, facing the Netherworld's siege, he felt a hint of unease!
This bizarre divine nature explosion...
Had actually injured him!
Boom!
Divine nature particles raged, and divine nature was extremely active, as if it were burning the void into nothingness, making it almost impossible for one's soul spirit to spread even a hair's breadth.
It seemed like the divine perception was about to be melted!
Therefore, at this moment, Su Wenxi's five senses and six perceptions were as if completely severed!
This sense of unease made him disregard everything and tear through the center of the divine nature explosion!
Buzz!
The instant Su Wenxi burst out of the twin mushroom cloud explosion.
Su Wenxi felt a thunderous roar!
At this moment, he was at the lowest point of his state.
The power of heaven and earth countered the twin mushroom cloud explosion, and the impact of blood and energy had blasted open the Golden Monkey and You Liqing...
At this moment, he was in a state of exhaustion, temporarily unable to regenerate.
Although the Martial Saint's power was endless, constantly generating new strength, it still needed time to regenerate.
And at this moment...
An attack appeared!
Despicable!
Su Wenxi was startled, his anger surging, reaching its peak, uncontrollable!
Various and numerous hidden weapons and mechanisms, countless mechanical beasts, the indestructible You Liqing, and various long-range sniping attacks...
Now, they even wanted to launch a sneak attack!
It must be said that the timing of this sneak attack...
Was indeed perfect, as if everything had been calculated!
It made Su Wenxi think of the Constellation-level killer assassination from the Hunter Pavilion!
That grasp of opportunity, that control of timing...
It was perfect to the extreme!
However...
Su Wenxi's eyes widened, like two round suns!
He saw the thunderbolt that had instantly approached!
He saw the dissipating thunder, the blood-drenched figure, and that adorable, cute ox mask!
"Netherworld..."
"Ox Demon---!"
The sound of the explosion echoed from Su Wenxi's mouth.
According to the investigation of the Netherworld's information, the earliest member to appear was the cunning and treacherous Ox Demon!
Li Che did not respond.
His gaze was cold and cruel, and on his towering body, scorching blood flowed like a raging torrent, surging like a tidal wave. His exposed skin was like molten iron, turning into a dark red hue, and even more so, there were patterns like dragon and elephant markings spreading across it!
It was like a mandala blooming in the depths of hell!
Pressure—
An overwhelming pressure that felt like a mountain collapsing!
Li Che's body was covered in goosebumps, even though he had such a good opportunity and a chance for a decisive kill!
But at this moment, he felt a chill spreading from the top of his head, enveloping and spreading down his spine!
Martial Sage...
This was a Martial Sage!
In Li Che's chest, the Dao Fruit [Dragon Elephant Vajra] throbbed, and with each beat, his blood surged like thunder!
It was the excitement of facing a powerful enemy!
It was the anticipation of a long-awaited clash!
The horizontal cultivation enhancement brought by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was immense, and Li Che should have challenged stronger opponents without complaint.
Unfortunately, this Dao Fruit had fallen into the hands of Li Che, a man who was content with mediocrity.
Without at least ninety percent certainty, Li Che would not act rashly!
This had always been the case.
The Dao Fruit had rarely been satisfied, and it had rarely felt free or released.
But today...
Li Che faced a Martial Sage, and even though he had calculated a hundred schemes, he was still at a disadvantage. At this moment, the Dao Fruit finally got 'high'!
As a hero, he should challenge the strong!
"Seeking death!"
Su Wenxi stood, his body covered in blood, but at this moment, his spirit was not the slightest bit weak!
Su Wenxi was furious!
Ox Demon?!
Sensing the aura, a mere Primordial Great Master at the Unity of Heaven and Man!
Dare to come and kill a Martial Sage?!
How audacious!
Who gave you the courage...
Are you worthy?!
Su Wenxi's pores seemed to emit scorching heat, and his powerful will, strong enough to freeze the air, descended with a thunderous crash!
The heavens and earth seemed to be stirred, and a pillar of energy spontaneously emerged!
Su Wenxi's scorched and wounded arms suddenly swung up, and blood mist exploded from his wounds as he clenched his fists!
"Divine Lineage · Nine Heavens Dark Eagle Sky-Splitting Fist!"
Creee—!!!
A piercingly sharp cry!
A punch that created an ear-splitting sonic boom!
The Divine Lineage spun, and it was as if a massive dark eagle spread its wings, slamming into the Ox Demon that was enveloped in Dragon Elephant aura!
This was the power of heaven and earth that only a Martial Sage could summon!
It slammed into Li Che with force.
It was meant to freeze Li Che's movements.
Just like how Su Wenxi had suppressed Yu Liqing before, but instead of suppressing the Ox Demon, he gave it a fatal punch!
Li Che's fingers tightly gripped the Golden Treasure Eight Trigram Thunder Dragon Staff!
At this moment, his mind was exceptionally clear!
Thunder Magnetic Body!
Buzzing—
It was as if lightning arcs were writhing, distorting the field around him, instantly freeing Li Che from the constraints and influence of the heaven and earth power summoned by the Martial Sage!
The thunder dragon staff in his hand, entwined with Dragon Elephant Heavenly Gales and Primordial True Energy, trembled and vibrated!
In an instant, a terrifying demon python emerged from behind Li Che, accompanied by a Dragon Elephant shadow, slamming into the domineering dark eagle!
The dark eagle fought against the Dragon Elephant and demon python!
The collision between the two happened almost instantly!
Boom—!
Boom—!
The wind and clouds erupted!
As the two clashed, streams of energy like dancing dragons ravaged the ground around them.
Terrifying ripples spread, creating concentric waves.
They caused wave after wave of impact, even shattering the shockwaves from the twin mushroom cloud explosions.
Boom, boom, boom—
The ground, already reduced to ruins, was stomped on by Su Wenxi, causing cracks to spread and deepen.
Su Wenxi, at a disadvantage, retaliated at this moment, meeting Li Che's attack head-on!
Behind the two, the twin mushroom clouds continued to flicker, and the intertwining streams of energy from their clash were also captivating.
Su Wenxi's body trembled, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
A Primordial Great Master?!
What terrifying strength was this?!
He, a Martial Sage, had his domineering punch, infused with the power of heaven and earth, blocked!
With the strength of a Primordial Great Master, he had blocked the punch of a Martial Sage!
This Ox Demon...
What a proud heaven-defying talent!
With his powerful body, domineering true energy, and unwavering will!
Indeed...
A sight to behold!
Bang—!!!
Li Che's eyes behind the Ox Demon mask sank slightly.
Still not enough?!
With his full power unleashed...
A strike with all his might, using the ultimate Divine Lineage martial art...
Still unable to kill this Martial Sage?
This was a Martial Sage!
Even if it was Su Wenxi at his lowest, it was still the peak power that Li Che could match at this moment!
Since it was so...
He could only use the ultimate kill!
A sharp glint flashed in Li Che's eyes.
The next moment.
His heart moved...
Thick, rolling black fog suddenly swept in from Ink City with a deafening roar!
The entire city began to shake violently, as if the most terrifying earth rage had erupted!
Su Wenxi's black hair whipped in the wind, his body buffeted by the gale, and his brows furrowed.
He looked around, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.
Was this...
Knowing he couldn't kill him, was he going to throw him out?!
Suddenly.
His expression changed abruptly!
Vaguely, the sense of unease in his heart reached its peak!
Boom—!!!
The surrounding black ink mist rolled, and a powerful sense of falling suddenly erupted.
...
...
"Huang Jian Jiu—!!!"
A roar exploded.
Three of the Su Family's Supreme Great Masters joined forces to counter Huang Jian Jiu's sword, and all of them were severely injured and bleeding, flying out.
The faces of the three men turned deathly pale, their expressions reaching the epitome of ugliness.
Just a single sword strike nearly took all three of their lives!
Too powerful!
At this moment, Huang Jian Jiu's strength reached its pinnacle!
Was Su Wuming strong?
Ranked third in the Qianyuan Shen Zong's true transmission list, his cultivation had reached the apex of the Three Flowers, yet he was still beheaded by Huang Jian Jiu's sword!
The entire Su Family was now drenched in blood, like a river of gore.
Countless Su Family disciples met their tragic deaths at the hands of Huang Jian Jiu.
Huang Jian Jiu seemed to have an incredibly deep understanding of every Su Family disciple. Those who had married and broken their chastity seals, and those who had absorbed the talents of women, all had their heads severed by his sword!
The Su Family, with its three thousand years of history, was now engulfed in a crimson tide of blood.
This was an unprecedented calamity for the Su Family.
Huang Jian Jiu did not engage with the Divine Essence Great True Person of the Su Family, nor did he confront the Supreme Great Master. Instead, he specifically targeted the Su Family members with his sword.
One sword, one kill, and the blood flowed like a river.
Heads fell to the ground, making a dull thud.
Accompanied by the muffled cheers from the sealed courtyards, it was like a unique and bizarre celebration.
Suddenly, Huang Jian Jiu paused in his drinking, his eyes narrowing sharply.
He abruptly looked into the void, his black eyes with crimson pupils spinning. The nearly extinguished sword aura between his eyebrows suddenly ignited, emitting the most terrifying sword light.
"He's here!"
Huang Jian Jiu's sword unleashed a terrifying sword intent, bursting forth from his body in an instant.
It was like the most dazzling moonlight in the night sky.
The Sword Immortal's sword seemed to undergo a final glorious transformation, as if it had consumed all of Huang Jian Jiu's vitality.
At this moment, Huang Jian Jiu closed his eyes.
He hung his wine gourd at his waist.
Countless scenes flashed through his mind.
"A dull childhood, slow in martial arts, until I met Zhu Qing and obtained my first sword. Holding the sword was like holding onto love..."
"Later, my sword talent awakened, and I practiced and observed the sword. Anything related to the sword, I could learn and master with a single thought. My sword gradually revealed its sharpness, but in reality, I only wanted to use my progress in the sword path to earn her praise and admiration..."
A sigh echoed through the Su Family estate.
