Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 162 Physical Showdown

"when!!!"

Lei Jingtong's pupils dilated suddenly as he felt the immense power emanating from his arms, finding it hard to believe.

"Such immense physical strength? Are you kidding me?"

Lei Jingtong shook his hand, only to feel a slight numbness in his arm.

Yu Changsheng ignored him, a tear of blood streaming down his scarlet eyes. His blood and qi surged like a raging sea, and the intense pain was forcibly suppressed by his divine sense. At this moment, all he wanted was a thrilling battle.

"Red Serpent, Golden-Winged Eagle, do not interfere. Observe the situation from the sidelines and protect me."

Yu Changsheng roared like a beast, waving his hand to refuse the participation of the Crimson Serpent and the Golden-Winged Eagle.

"How arrogant! You, a beast tamer, actually abandon your beast taming and fight me personally?!"

Lei Jingtong was so angry that he laughed instead. Yu Changsheng's behavior made him feel extremely insulted.

The elders and disciples who had been closely observing the situation were also surprised.

"Has Yu Changsheng gone mad? Why doesn't he use his powerful beast taming ability, instead crippling himself? How arrogant!"

Wang Luyi spoke in surprise, somewhat incredulously.

"No, he's trying to put himself in a life-or-death situation to survive."

Elder Cao took a deep breath, slowly shook his head, and stared intently at Yu Changsheng's every move.

"bump!!!"

A terrifying shockwave swept around, and Lei Jingtong and Yu Changsheng clashed again. The two were as fast as lightning, their figures unpredictable, and they exchanged dozens of blows in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!!"

Lei Jingtong gripped the knife in one hand and blasted Yu Changsheng away with his other fist, his expression turning serious.

"What did you eat to make your physical body reach this level?"

Lei Jingtong was puzzled. As a member of the Overlord Blade Peak, he always focused on honing his physical body, yet he hadn't managed to gain any advantage over Yu Changsheng in several rounds. How could he not be shocked by the strength of Yu Changsheng's physical body?

Yu Changsheng remained silent, holding the Soul-Breaking Nail in his hand. Instead of using his divine sense to control the weapon, he used the simplest and most brutal method to smash it towards Lei Jingtong. His moves were wide and unrestrained, without any discernible pattern, but under the terrifying force, each strike made Lei Jingtong feel terrified.

"Heaven-Burning Flame Blade - Burning Mountain!"

Lei Jingtong gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, his aura as fierce as a bull. His arms drew a perfect arc, with flames following closely behind, condensing into a massive volcanic shadow at the tip of the sword. With a swing of the blade, it hurtled towards Yu Changsheng with overwhelming force.

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and his veins bulged. A series of wooden shields appeared in front of him, giving him some time to recover.

The volcano collapsed, and Yu Changsheng's eyebrows and hair were all ignited, leaving him charred. He used his spiritual power to protect his vulnerable parts, and his figure burst out of the volcano, crashing hard into Lei Jingtong.

Lei Jingtong was shocked. He did not expect Yu Changsheng to withstand his attack with his bare body. Caught off guard, his chest caved in, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell into the void.

Without hesitation, Yu Changsheng took advantage of Lei Jingtong's inability to gain leverage while he was in mid-air. He endured the burning sensation all over his body and flashed directly below Lei Jingtong, striking him powerfully in the abdomen.

Lei Jingtong managed to block the attack with his sword, preventing a fatal blow, but his body was sent flying backward again, traversing more than a dozen steps.

As the two fought, every punch landed hard and every strike drew blood. The battlefield environment also changed from the 2,600th floor to the 2,900th floor. At this moment, some disciples who were climbing the Heavenly Ladder were no longer in a hurry to go up. They just quietly watched Lei Jingtong and Yu Changsheng's battle, marveling at it.

"Not enough...!"

Feeling the surging power throughout his body, Yu Changsheng clenched his fist and launched another attack at Lei Jingtong, while also having an idea.

"Just a little bit more, and my physical body will break through again with that final push..."

"In that case, let's go up to the three thousand steps and fight!"

Every thousand steps, the pressure on the steps doubles, and three thousand steps is the limit for most of the disciples participating in the trial.

Yu Changsheng already felt resistance fighting in the environment of more than two thousand floors, and it would probably be even more difficult on the next floor, the three thousandth floor.

Having made up his mind, Yu Changsheng's eyes revealed a hint of madness. He flashed behind Lei Jingtong twice in quick succession, condensed a fireball in his hand, and pressed it towards Lei Jingtong.

Lei Jingtong frowned, his flame blade swirling around him, and with a single strike, he shattered Yu Changsheng's fireball. The next second, the fireball exploded, and towering flames rushed towards them. Yu Changsheng used this opportunity to grab Lei Jingtong's hand holding the blade with one hand, and with the other hand, he suddenly wrapped his arms around Lei Jingtong's waist.

Lei Jingtong's expression changed, and he began to struggle violently. With his other hand, he gathered azure light and pressed it towards Yu Changsheng's back.

"puff……"

Yu Changsheng spat out a mouthful of blood, but refused to let Lei Jingtong go. With a few quick flashes, the two of them stepped onto the three thousand steps.

"Boom!!"

An immense squeezing force surged forth from all directions, as if the air itself were condensing. The oppressive feeling on their souls intensified, and the sensation of carrying a mountain on their backs resurfaced in their minds once more.

Yu Changsheng and Lei Jingtong's bodies sank simultaneously, their movements momentarily halting as they struggled to adapt to the new environment.

Given their cultivation levels, climbing the three thousandth floor wouldn't have been difficult for them. However, given their current state and the circumstances of their battle, it was indeed extremely challenging.

Flames erupted as Lei Jingtong broke free from Yu Changsheng's restraints. He took a deep breath, mobilized all his cultivation, and the sword in his hand rang out, breaking through the obstacles and slashing fiercely at Yu Changsheng!

"Click, click..."

A series of muffled thuds emanated from Yu Changsheng's body. Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and his bones felt as if they were about to crack. The effects of the Body Tempering Pill were working wildly within his body, re-condensing and strengthening his bones. Although it was extremely painful, he was also being reborn.

"Heaven-Burning Flame Blade... Annihilation of the Earth!"

The Heaven-Burning Flame Blade has eight forms. Ordinary disciples can only master two forms with their Qi cultivation level. Only Lei Jingtong, with his amazing talent, mastered four forms. However, the fourth form is his current limit and is also the most terrifying move.

The fact that Lei Jingtong was forced to this point shows that he is now almost at his wit's end.

Flames swirled around, the earth trembled, and a crimson flame celestial blade condensed from its tip into the void, radiating intense heat and burning everything in its path.

The Heavenly Blade fell, distorting the void. A wave of flames surrounded Yu Changsheng, who gritted his teeth as his body was bound by an invisible force.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The Crimson Serpent and the Golden-Winged Eagle roared anxiously, about to rush over to help Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng looked up and faced the Heavenly Blade. Layers of wooden shields covered him, but in just a moment, they were destroyed by the Heavenly Blade. The shield continued to fall towards Yu Changsheng with overwhelming force, covering him and exploding in an instant.
