Chapter 356: Your Defeat Has Only One Reason... And That Is Opposing Me (4K)



As Xue Jing controlled the newly contracted 'Man-eating Flower' seeds, they instantly reproduced and proliferated, producing countless miniature flower seeds that attached themselves to the Dragon Cherry root stems.

When Shen Tu Guang shattered the root stems, the attached flower seeds scattered, covering his bare upper body and skin.

These were special Iron Core Plants native to the Steel Tree Sea, completely different from the carbon-based plants of the mortal world.

The Man-eating Flower, topping the danger level in the Steel Tree Sea exam area, had miniature flower seeds that could even absorb the 'nutrients' from inorganic substances like steel and metal.

Any object touched by these seeds would gradually wither, become brittle, and dry up... until eventually, it would 'bloom all over' and be sucked dry to death.

If not for the detailed intelligence about the Man-eating Flower on the wristband's raid mission, even Xue Jing would have struggled against this ability.

Of course, although he successfully scattered the flower seeds onto Shen Tu Guang, Xue Jing knew that this alone wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

Shen Tu Guang was an extreme Limit-Breaking Master, with unimaginable strength, vitality, and various indicators of his physical prowess.

Although he was caught off guard by this move, as the flower seeds gradually bloomed and grew, he would naturally sense the anomaly on his body.

The effect of the flower seeds would, at most, reduce his vitality and temporarily weaken his defense with a 'wither, brittle, and dry up' debuff.

This was exactly what Xue Jing wanted.

"Kacha—Kacha—Kacha—"

The Night Blade struggled and trembled in Shen Tu Guang's grip, trying to break free from his hold.

The unbreakable blade with its master recognition would not submit to anyone else until its owner truly surrendered from the heart.

Seeing this, Xue Jing used Featherization to control his body, calming it.

Then, holding the Forgotten Greatsword in both hands, he took a deep breath, using his breathing technique to activate his flesh, muscles, bones, and blood simultaneously.

This movement caused Shen Tu Guang to pause slightly.

"This kid hasn't even broken his limits yet."

The most distinctive feature of a Limit-Breaking Master, whose flesh surpasses the Dragon Gate and whose spirit reverses the limits of heaven and man, is not their robust physique but their ability to cover their entire body with their consciousness, directly controlling their internal bodily functions without the need for a medium.

Once the limit is broken, even those without martial arts training can easily control their bodies through their consciousness, twisting their flesh into a powerful attack that unleashes the full potential of their physical strength.

Xue Jing, however, still needed to use the inefficient breathing technique to activate his body, indicating that he had not yet broken through his limits.

This was completely inconsistent with his combat power... Although Shen Tu Guang didn't consider this level of strength impressive, the fact that Xue Jing hadn't broken his limits yet genuinely surprised him.

"No wonder the Commander treated you, a mere kid, with such respect."

Shen Tu Guang's lion-like eyes narrowed.

In the next moment, Xue Jing flashed before him, holding the massive Forgotten Greatsword that slashed down, causing the void to tremble with the might of splitting mountains and parting seas.

At the same time, Li Sui Sui rushed from Shen Tu Guang's rear flank.

Li Sui Sui was no longer empty-handed; each of his hands now held a peculiar weapon.

The weapon resembled a half-moon-shaped blade, similar to Illidan's egg-shaped dagger.

The difference was that its handle and blade were separated, connected by a ball bearing structure, allowing the blade to slide up and down freely, making it quite unique.

This weapon was not only challenging to use for attacking others but also required extreme caution when holding it, as a slight mishap could result in self-injury.

Within a time frame with an error margin of less than 0.01 seconds, the two attacked Shen Tu Guang almost simultaneously.

"Awakening Shock - Abyssal Sink."

"Cyclic Universe Thousand Mysteries - Withered Mystery..."

Shen Tu Guang lifted the unbreakable blade to block the powerful strike of the greatsword, and upon impact, his body remained unmoved, but the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, forming a pit several dozen meters in diameter and over half a meter deep, with him at its center.

The dust, blown by the explosive force, created a small-scale sandstorm in the area.

Li Sui Sui's twin blades slashed across Shen Tu Guang's body at an incredible angle and speed. When they reappeared, he was already in front of Shen Tu Guang, with the blades crossed in his hands.

Shen Tu Guang's back, arms, thighs, chest, abdomen, and neck... all these areas instantly resonated with a sound that made one's teeth ache from the imagined blade cuts.

However, after the battle, his body was almost completely unscathed, except for countless red scratches of varying depths covering his entire body.

"Like bug bites."

Shen Tu Guang let out a disdainful snort.

...

As time passed, the battle continued relentlessly.

After witnessing Xue Jing's exceptional ability to evade damage and his immunity to the Divine Organ's power, Li Sui Sui silently formed an understanding with Xue Jing.

Xue Jing took the lead, attracting Shen Tu Guang's attacks, while Li Sui Sui supported him from the sidelines, waiting for opportunities to deal damage.

They launched one attack after another, but all their efforts were in vain. Shen Tu Guang's incredibly resilient body barely suffered any harm, and with his astonishing speed, he didn't even bother to dodge their attacks from start to finish.

Li Sui Sui had considered giving up and running away separately, hoping to find a way to regain their footing later... But seeing Xue Jing's unwavering determination to continue fighting, he believed that Xue Jing might have a plan, so he persisted until now.

The intense battle between these Secondary Limit-Breakers and above was quite loud, but in the wilderness, it didn't attract much attention. Only the examiners and students who had been coming out of the Iron Tree Sea one after another were startled by the scene and hurried back to the border area.

Only a few brave individuals who were curious about powerful fighters dared to stay and watch the battle.

"Bang!"

Li Sui Sui was stunned by Shen Tu Guang's Lion Eyes, his body stiffened in mid-air. He was kicked in the chest and abdomen, the force almost sending him flying, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth. Enduring the pain, he slashed with his egg-shaped knife, cutting into Shen Tu Guang's flesh.

"Hmm?"

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that this strike left deeper red marks on Shen Tu Guang's body than the previous ones.

After a few backflips, Li Sui Sui landed beside Xue Jing, half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. Xue Jing reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Li Sui Sui's sunken chest began to wriggle and heal at a visible rate.

He had sustained multiple severe injuries during the continuous battle, and it was only through Xue Jing's healing with the Dragon Cherry that he was able to replenish his vitality and recover.

"What a bothersome guy."

Shen Tu Guang, holding the Unbreakable Blade, frowned as he looked at the two of them.

The prolonged battle had caught him off guard; he hadn't expected it to last this long.

Stubborn brats... But they're just struggling in vain.

He didn't believe in Xue Jing's ability to transform into Black Flame and ignore physical damage, nor did he think that his healing ability for Li Sui Sui could be used indefinitely.

Continuing the fight, they would eventually wear themselves out. After all, these two couldn't harm him, and they weren't draining his energy...

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Shen Tu Guang felt something amiss.

He seemed... a little tired.

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately used his consciousness to scan his entire body, carefully examining himself.

Shen Tu Guang's expression changed instantly.

He extended his arm in front of him and looked closely, feeling a chill run down his spine.

His entire arm was covered in dense, tiny silver-red dots, resembling a severe skin disease.

As he focused his gaze, he realized that these silver-red dots were actually ugly, wriggling flower buds.

Beneath each bud, dozens or even hundreds of tentacles extended, drilling into the crevices of his flesh. They pulsated, seemingly absorbing something, and the buds grew larger, with some even blooming into flowers.

These silver-red flower buds weren't limited to his arm; they covered his entire body, from his chest and abdomen to his waist, back, neck, and face.

This sight was enough to make someone with trypophobia faint on the spot, and Shen Tu Guang's forehead veins throbbed in anger.

Unbelievable!

"You despicable, shameless brat, daring to ambush me!"

Shen Tu Guang glared at Xue Jing.

Xue Jing, seeing that he had been discovered, stopped pretending and smiled, saying, "From the moment you intended to bully two minors, you lost the right to call anyone 'despicable' or 'shameless,' old man."

Shen Tu Guang snorted coldly, his muscles tensing as he shook his body violently.

All the man-eating flower buds were forcefully shaken out of his flesh.

And then...

"Pfft—"

Shen Tu Guang's body erupted in a spray of blood, his skin tearing open.

The tentacles of the flower buds had already penetrated deep into his flesh, intertwining with each other. This forceful extraction caused him to suffer severe injuries instantly.

The most crucial issue wasn't the injury, but these flower buds were connected to his vitality, or perhaps, his 'nutrition'. As they were torn out, the special energy within his body was also uprooted.

In an instant, Shen Tu Guang's entire body appeared dry and withered, devoid of the previously indomitable resilience.

"You little brat, you've really angered me."

Shen Tu Guang's face turned frigid, and although his body seemed feeble, the Vital Qi emanating from him grew increasingly intense, almost visible to the naked eye. It was as if invisible flames were raging on his body, distorting the light in the air.

Being ambushed didn't matter; even in his current state, killing these two brats was still a trivial matter.

Sch Jing's eyes flashed.

"Sui, now's the time. Use whatever hidden trump cards you have."

Before he could finish speaking, Sch Jing's figure flashed, and he shot towards Shen Tu Guang.

Li Sui Sui, upon hearing this, didn't say a word but immediately followed.

Along the way, Sch Jing swiftly began to buff himself.

His indigo eyes transformed into silver-white godliness, and golden flames of anger slowly ignited.

"Ano Ano Shuatum (I and I, forever undivided)."

A crimson divine light gathered behind him, and the tall figure of the Two-Faced God appeared. The divine side immediately mirrored the Buddhist side's gesture of palms pressed together, solemn and sacred.

A sharp ring reverberated.

A circle of crimson light expanded from the Two-Faced God, followed by another sharp ring and another expanding light circle.

Infinite spiral, dual powers multiplying in a secondary interaction, eight times the output! Shadow energy gathered, transforming into black flames that coiled around him, forming a gorgeous entwined armor.

Crimson dragon horns appeared atop his head, and the light of annihilating flame and thunder condensed in his hands.

A fearless and unstoppable aura suddenly erupted from Sch Jing, forming a tangible storm of energy.

"You insect-like creature, instead of bowing your head in surrender, you dare to speak recklessly."

With disdain in his voice, Sch Jing clenched his fists and placed them slightly behind his waist as he approached Shen Tu Guang.

Shen Tu Guang's eyes widened slightly, and his extraordinary intuition continuously sounded alarms. A very bad premonition, like a bucket of ice water, sent chills down his spine.

Why... could a mere Limit-Breaker, a small fry who hadn't even broken through his limits yet, give him this feeling?

Then, he saw Sch Jing's indifferent face appear right before him, moving at an unbelievable speed.

"True Continuous Serious Punch."

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Countless explosions, like missiles hitting the ground, resounded continuously.

Each boom was accompanied by a vacuum spreading for dozens of meters and an earthquake that shook the heavens and earth.

Shen Tu Guang, whose body had been robust and nearly invincible, now had countless fist-sized holes bursting open all over, revealing flesh tinged with a faint golden hue. And within these blood holes, the beating continued.

In no time, his entire front body was shattered, exposing his ribs, chest, and internal organs. Then, his bones and organs began to crumble...

Shen Tu Guang's face was filled with rage, but he showed no fear. He waved his arms, fighting back against Sch Jing. However, in the face of the Continuous Serious Punch, empowered by the infinite spiral and multiplied output, his weakened state only allowed him to hold on for a while before his arms were shattered and blasted apart.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the shaking earth, after everything calmed down, Sch Jing slowly stood firm, exhaling a sigh of relief.

His fists emitted thick white steam, and his skin had completely torn open, revealing the bones beneath.

As for Shen Tu Guang, his entire upper body had almost vanished, and within a radius of dozens of meters, blood and shattered flesh were scattered everywhere.

Everyone present stared at the scene in shock.

The ground's tremors gradually subsided, and Li Sui Sui, frozen in place by the Lion's Eye, twitched his lips. For the first time in his life, he looked at someone with eyes as if he had seen an alien.

"What kind of monster..."

Shen Tu Guang, with only half of his head remaining, hadn't died yet. Instead, he glared at Sch Jing, "I actually... fell into the hands of a small fry like you."

Sch Jing's silver-white pupils still burned with golden flames, and he stared back at Shen Tu Guang's angry eyes, saying calmly, "Your defeat has only one reason... and that is opposing me."
