The Mountain-Opening Axe was a martial skill that Lu HaiKong had comprehended from a mysterious scroll.
However, since his realization, Lu HaiKong had never used this skill due to its extremely stringent activation conditions. Only now, with his current strength, did he barely meet the requirements.
Although Lu HaiKong hadn't used it before, he was confident in its power. However, he faced a dilemma: the skill required one to two seconds to execute, and finding that opportunity was his top priority.
Previously, when Hu YinXiong was toying with him, Lu HaiKong could easily find the right moment to strike. But after Li Xiong was suppressed by Wang Chao Ma Han and the others, Hu YinXiong's attitude changed, and his attacks became increasingly fierce, as if he intended to finish Lu HaiKong off within a few exchanges.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong struggled to keep up, let alone find an opportunity to counterattack.
Hu YinXiong's stick-fighting seemed chaotic and without pattern, but only by being in the midst of it could one understand that his apparent lack of technique was, in fact, his true style—a chaotic and domineering offense.
As Hu YinXiong grew more serious, his attacks became even more fierce, but Lu HaiKong soon realized that this opponent was not as simple as he had imagined. Each strike appeared chaotic and overpowering, but as they connected, they gradually reduced Lu HaiKong's space to dodge. Following this trend, Lu HaiKong might find himself with no room to evade after a few more blows.
Indeed, Hu YinXiong unleashed a few more strikes, and as Lu HaiKong dodged the initial blows, Hu YinXiong's eyes, large as copper bells, suddenly gleamed with a hint of triumph: "Die, Han dog!"
This opponent, who had previously attacked with nothing but full-force smashes, suddenly changed his approach, transforming his massive iron rod from a smashing weapon to a sweeping one. With terrifying force, he swept towards Lu HaiKong's waist.
Given Hu YinXiong's strength, even an unsharpened iron rod could potentially cleave Lu HaiKong in two if it connected.
"This is the moment!"
A smile curled Lu HaiKong's lips. Damn, he had been waiting for this instant for so long.
To Lu HaiKong's surprise, he reacted even faster than Hu YinXiong. He dropped to the ground, narrowly avoiding Hu YinXiong's sweeping strike, and immediately countered with his ornate battle axe, aiming directly at Hu YinXiong's legs.
In an instant, he turned a crisis into an opportunity, shifting from a passive to an active stance. Not only did he successfully dodge Hu YinXiong's iron rod, but he also seized the chance to strike back.
However, Hu YinXiong was equally quick to react. Faced with Lu HaiKong's sudden counterattack, he was startled but quickly recovered, using the momentum of his own swing to flip and leap into the air, narrowly avoiding Lu HaiKong's axe, which could have easily severed his legs.
Although Hu YinXiong managed to dodge, he also created some distance between them, providing Lu HaiKong with the opening he had been seeking.
"Now is the time! Let's see just how insane this axe technique is!"
Lu HaiKong quickly stood up, raising his ornate battle axe above his head. After taking a deep breath, a powerful figure emerged in Lu HaiKong's eyes.
A towering, unyielding mountain suddenly appeared before Lu HaiKong, and an overwhelming pressure descended upon him.
In that moment, Lu HaiKong had a sudden realization. If he didn't swing his axe, or if he swung and missed, this immense pressure would crush him. From then on, a shadow of fear might be planted in his heart, and he might never again have the courage to take such a swing.
"Damn it! Why didn't the system ever explain something this important?" Lu HaiKong had a habit of relaxing himself through self-deprecating humor, especially in moments of tension and anxiety.
He was never one to be daunted, nor would he ever allow himself to sink into hopelessness.
As he mocked the system, he swung his ornate battle axe downward, shouting the name of the technique with a hint of youthful enthusiasm.
"Mountain-Opening Axe!"
"Damn it! How can this Han dog have such a powerful attack?"
Facing the axe, Hu Yinxiong trembled. A sense of extreme danger overwhelmed him as he watched Lu HaiKong's axe descend. To describe it in a way everyone could understand, it was like standing on a highway and seeing a semi-truck barreling towards you at 120 miles per hour.
Instinctively, Hu Yinxiong tried to dodge, but it was too late. Lu HaiKong's axe still came down, and Hu Yinxiong had no time or strength to evade. He could only raise his iron rod to block the blow, attempting to use his strength to forcibly stop the axe.
In a 1619 book, one glance, no mistake!
Ask a question: Can an ordinary person block a semi-truck barreling towards them at 120 miles per hour with their bare hands? The answer is obviously no.
Hu Yinxiong, too, was unable to do so. Although Lu HaiKong's axe might not have the same impact as a 10-ton truck crashing at 120 miles per hour, it still had one advantage: its power was extremely concentrated.
In an instant, the iron rod Hu Yinxiong used to block was split in two by Lu HaiKong's axe. Although Hu Yinxiong managed to retreat at the critical moment, he couldn't avoid being split open by the axe.
After a few minutes of stalemate, Lu HaiKong's opponent was firmly suppressed. With a single axe swing, Hu Yinxiong was killed. The power of Mountain-Opening Axe was evident.
When Lu HaiKong's axe took Hu Yinxiong's life, everyone from Black Wind Fortress was stunned. The Xianbei tribesmen even lost the will to continue fighting.
Even their revered war god had been felled by Lu HaiKong's axe. How could they have the courage to keep fighting?
But this was Lu HaiKong's home turf. If they had come, they couldn't just leave whenever they wanted.
Wang Chao's side was the first to finish the fight. Li Xiong's strength was no match for Wang Chao, and his courage had been shattered by Hu Yinxiong's death. He quickly lost the will to fight and was defeated in a few moves. Wang Chao had intended to kill him with a spear, but Lu HaiKong stopped him.
With Wang Chao's side free, they rejoined the battle. For Black Wind Fortress, it was like adding insult to injury. Just as the situation looked extremely favorable for Lu HaiKong's side, Zhang Feng cautiously approached Lu HaiKong from behind...
