A Martial Saint Among Men: From Joining a Martial Arts School

Chapter 196 Devastating Victory

Bang bang bang!

Su Jingyang's body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through more than a dozen trees that were as thick as a person's embrace, before finally slamming into a boulder more than ten feet high with a loud thud.

The boulder exploded with a deafening roar, turning into countless fragments that shot out into the sky.

Su Jingyang let out a muffled groan, spat out another mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

"Blocked! Haha, I blocked it!" Su Jingyang laughed wildly.

His shirt was completely blown open, revealing a silver inner armor underneath. His black hair was dancing wildly in the wind, but his face was full of relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Inner armor? Spirit weapon?"

Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the spirit-grade inner armor on Su Jingyang's body.

He kept running away to feign weakness and lull Su Jingyang into a false sense of security, hoping to take advantage of Su's carelessness and finish him off with a single blow.

He seized the opportunity!

Who would have thought that Su Jingyang actually possessed an inner armor, and it was even a spirit weapon-level one!

It will be difficult to catch them off guard again.

"Junior Brother Chu, you really have surprised me!"

Su Jingyang stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glared at Chu Xuan with a ferocious expression.

He never expected that Chu Xuan was not just a master of internal energy, but had already broken through to the level of true essence, and that the knife in his hand had been upgraded to a spiritual weapon.

They hid it too well!

If he hadn't extorted this spiritual weapon inner armor from the Song and Situ families before coming here, he would have already been killed by Chu Xuan with a single blow.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became!

The murderous intent in his heart was boiling uncontrollably.

I've been hunting geese all day, but I never expected to almost capsize in a ditch today and get pecked in the eye!

"I miscalculated too. You're so lucky to even have a spirit weapon inner armor!" Chu Xuan sighed.

Su Jingyang sneered, "It seems that nipping you in the bud was absolutely the right thing to do! You're actually an even more monstrous genius than Luo Yun. Luckily, you've only just entered the True Essence realm. If you had been allowed to grow stronger, I would have been the one to suffer!"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "There's no need to wait until later; you're the one who will die now!"

"Hehe~"

Su Jingyang sneered, "It seems Junior Brother Chu is quite confident in himself? You don't think that just because you have a spiritual weapon, I can't do anything to you, do you?"

"If I hadn't been careless just now, do you think you could have hurt me?"

Boom!

As he spoke, his aura surged wildly, and his true essence erupted once again.

"Today, I'll show you that even spirit weapons aren't omnipotent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved again.

With a sudden stomp of his toes, his body shot towards Chu Xuan like an arrow released from a bow.

A powerful crimson true essence covered his entire body, as if it were burning fiercely, radiating an astonishingly high temperature.

The terrifying aura pressed a long trench into the ground, and dust, carrying bits of wood, shot into the sky like a tyrannical dragon.

"Die!"

At the same time, a loud shout rang out.

Su Jingyang struck out with his palm at Chu Xuan from a distance.

A torrent of true essence surged forth, instantly condensing into a gigantic crimson true essence palm in front of him, with flames rolling on it, carrying a high temperature capable of burning everything in the world.

It is the ultimate technique of Li Huo Peak, the Li Huo Burning Heaven Palm!

Rumble!

A thunderous roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Even before the True Essence Palm arrived, the terrifying pressure had already compressed the air, causing ripples to spread like water.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, Chu Xuan's true essence surged within him, and with the Overlord Blade Technique operating at lightning speed, he unleashed another blade of light, slashing towards the crimson palm.

Bang!

The two collided, instantly unleashing a deafening roar as if the heavens and earth were being created.

The entire forest trembled, and the shockwaves from the collision spread outwards like a tidal wave.

Wherever it passed, all the trees and rocks within a radius of ten feet were shattered into dust!

The billowing smoke and dust swept across the sky and earth like a sandstorm.

Whoosh!

At that very moment, Su Jingyang suddenly emerged from the dust and smoke, already standing right in front of Chu Xuan. His fist, imbued with true essence, radiated terrifying heat like molten lava, and slammed straight towards Chu Xuan's face.

Chu Xuan flipped his wrist, and the Karma-Slaying Blade once again slashed at Su Jingyang's fist.

Su Jingyang wore a cold smile, as if he had been prepared. He suddenly rammed into the blade, letting it strike him with a metallic clang and sparks flying.

He then changed the direction of his fist, suddenly unleashing an even more terrifying burst of true energy, which slammed straight towards Chu Xuan's chest.

That punch just now was a feint; this is the real killing move!

Chu Xuan's bones and muscles hummed and vibrated. With the activation of his Vajra Body, his entire body seemed to turn translucent, and his skin shone with a crystal-clear jade-like luster.

Almost simultaneously, Chu Xuan unleashed a powerful punch!

Thump!

The moment their fists collided, it was as if the heavens and earth exploded.

Visible ripples spread outwards from the two men's fists.

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently, creating layers of folds, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

A terrifying force spread along the ground into the distance.

"How is this possible?"

Su Jingyang's smile froze instantly.

The next instant, he felt a terrifying force spreading from his fist.

He felt as if his punch had landed on a wall, a wall made entirely of cast iron.

The terrifying recoil force actually made his arm go numb, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Even his internal organs were shaking, and he felt intense pain, as if he couldn't bear it and was about to explode.

If it weren't for the inner armor that helped him absorb some of the force, his internal organs might have already exploded.

"I've already achieved the Lesser Completion of True Qi!"

Su Jingyang roared with anger in his heart.

Chu Xuan is a genius!

Isn't he one too?

Who among those who can enter the inner sect of the Xuan Yang Sect isn't a genius?

But now, even though he has already achieved a minor level of True Essence, his physical body is no match for Chu Xuan, who has just entered the True Essence realm.

"I refuse to believe that your true energy is more abundant than mine!"

Su Jingyang was terrified, and his killing intent surged.

Chu Xuan not only broke through to the True Essence realm, but also cultivated a powerful body-refining technique, making his physical body even stronger than Chu Xuan's.

Such a monstrous talent is simply appalling.

This further fueled his murderous intent.

We must kill Chu Xuan, otherwise he will surely be the one to die in the future.

"Flaming Dragon Claw!"

Su Jingyang roared, turning his fist into a claw, and once again unleashed a unique skill of Li Huo Peak, fiercely grabbing at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan unleashed his Prison Suppression Fist, fiercely meeting the attack head-on.

Bang bang bang bang~!

The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle in the forest, like two ancient ferocious beasts clashing, leaving trees and rocks in their wake.

Everything turned to dust. The two figures, however, flew about, rapidly intertwining and tumbling.

Thump!

After a loud bang, the two men's fists collided, their bodies jolted, and then they quickly separated.

Su Jingyang's face turned extremely ugly.

Chu Xuan's true essence was in no way inferior to his!

"Junior Brother Chu, it seems neither of us can do anything about the other. How about we put the previous misunderstandings behind us?" Su Jingyang said in a deep voice, already considering backing down.

Although Chu Xuan was a minor realm lower than him, his physical body and true essence were no weaker than his!

Even their martial arts skills are not inferior!

This shows that he was completely powerless against the other party.

Chu Xuan is now in an invincible position!

How can we fight like this?

"I can't do anything to you?"

Chu Xuan sneered, "Who told you I can't do anything to you?"

Just now, he only wanted to use Su Jingyang to test the power of the Glazed Vajra Body!

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly shone with a brilliant light, his entire body was enveloped in shimmering light, and his mercury-blood churned within him like raging waves in a cold river.

Stimulated by the silver marrow, the body's inherent potential is fully awakened.

"Are we still powerless against you?"

After saying that, he threw another punch.

The Vajra Body of Lapis Lazuli and the Indestructible Vajra Body were superimposed, the bones and muscles clanged, and the powerful force instantly rose to its peak.

Su Jingyang's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he immediately threw a punch to meet the attack.

Bang!

Click!

A dull thud was followed by the sound of bones shattering.

The true essence that Su Jingyang had been using to envelop his fist was directly blasted apart by Chu Xuan, and his fist exploded as well.

The terrifying force spread rapidly from his wrist to his entire arm.

"ah----"

Su Jingyang threw his head back and let out a piercing scream.

Under the terrifying force, his entire right arm twisted and swelled before exploding with a deafening roar.

"How is this possible? How can you be so strong?"

Su Jingyang let out an incredulous roar, his soul trembling at that moment.

He dared not linger any longer and turned to flee into the distance.

"Did I let you leave?"

A detached voice suddenly rang out behind Su Jingyang.

Su Jingyang's body trembled violently.

The next instant, he felt as if his body was enveloped by an invisible energy, as if he had sunk into a swamp, and his movements became sluggish.

The true essence within his body was uncontrollably compressed back into his dantian, and even the blood in his body seemed to be bound, making it extremely difficult to circulate.

At that moment, he seemed to have transformed from a prime of life into a frail old man on the verge of death.

"you----"

Su Jingyang turned around, staring in shock at Chu Xuan who was already behind him. "Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Force, no, Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Technique! You actually mastered the Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Technique?"

"Correct! Too bad there's no reward!"

Chu Xuan spoke indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blade of Karma flashed past, and a head instantly flew into the sky.

Chu Xuan stepped forward and ripped off Su Jingyang's inner armor, along with the money pouch inside.

The next moment, he struck out with his palm, blasting Su Jingyang's corpse and head into a bloody mist.

In the stone village.

The battle continues.

Zhou Huai'an and his two companions were engaged in a fierce battle with the three leaders of the Blood Wolf Bandits, and the entire Stone Village was in chaos.

"Blood Wolf Bandits, how dare you plunder my Xuan Yang Sect's fishing grounds! You're all dead! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the Xuan Yang Sect will find you and tear you to pieces!"

Zhou Huai'an roared loudly.

Shi Kui chuckled and said, "The Xuan Yang Sect is powerful, but we still need to find the culprit first! As long as we kill you all, who will be able to find out it was us?"

"With just you guys?"

Zhou Huai'an sneered.

Qi Sanniang chuckled, "Of course we can't do it alone. Don't forget, we have a True Essence expert! We don't need to kill you all; just hold you off until he returns, and you'll all be dead!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Zhou Huai'an and the other two changed completely.

This is also what they are most worried about.

Although Chu Xuan had lured away the True Essence expert, everyone knew that he couldn't escape at all.

Whoosh!

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out in the distance.

Xiao Feng burst into laughter: "Haha, our True Essence expert is back! You—"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He realized that the person who had returned was not Su Jingyang, but Chu Xuan!

Pfft!

Twenty feet away, Chu Xuan swiftly charged forward, suddenly unleashing a slash with his blade.

In an instant, a blade of light that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth slashed towards Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He immediately held his semi-spiritual weapon in front of him to block the attack!

Pfft!

A soft sound was heard.

The blade's light passed straight through Xiao Feng's semi-spiritual weapon without any obstruction, and then cleaved down from above his head.

In an instant, Xiao Feng seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

Clang!

The half-spirit weapon, the crescent moon scimitar, in his hand silently broke in two, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Spirit Soldier"

Such a thought flashed through Xiao Feng's mind, and then his body exploded in the middle into two pieces!

"The third son?!"

Shi Kui let out an angry roar, his eyes wide with fury.

He suddenly cleaved Zhou Huai'an in two with an axe, then charged at Chu Xuan like a maddened beast.

"Brother, be careful! He has a spirit weapon in his hand!" Qi San Niang hurriedly warned loudly.

Pfft!

Chu Xuan swung his sword again, as fast as lightning.

Shi Kui was still holding the axe high, but his lower body had been severed at the waist, and his upper body crashed to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open!

With a spiritual weapon in hand, Chu Xuan could kill a chicken with ease, even without using his true essence.

"Big brother!"

Qi San Niang let out a shrill cry and charged towards Chu Xuan in anger. However, when she was halfway there, she suddenly turned around and leaped towards the outer wall.

Chu Xuan seemed to have been prepared. Before he could climb over the wall, he had already stood on it and kicked Qi San Niang in the chest.

"No----"

Qi San Niang's eyes widened in fury, and she quickly held the Moon Wheel Ring Blade in her hand horizontally in front of her chest.

Bang!

After a violent collision, Qi San Niang's arms were the first to succumb to the terrifying force, both fracturing. Then, the moon-shaped ring blade slammed into her chest.

"Pfft~"

A spurt of blood mixed with bits of internal organs shot out, and Qi San Niang's body crashed to the ground like a cannonball. Her breath weakened at a visible speed, and then she fell silent.

She never imagined that she would end up dying at the hands of her own half-spirit weapon.

Zhou Huai'an and the other two stared at Chu Xuan in astonishment, as if petrified.

These three notorious bandits, who had been locked in a stalemate with them for half a day, were utterly and decisively killed by Chu Xuan!

Chu Xuan stepped forward and picked up Qi San Niang's half-spiritual weapon, then quickly looted the corpse as if no one else was around.

Noticing that the three of them were staring at him, Chu Xuan frowned and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Let's finish this quickly and wipe out all the Blood Wolf Bandits outside!"

"yes!"

The three of them then snapped out of their daze and immediately rushed towards the Blood Wolf Bandits outside.

Chu Xuan was also incredibly fast, quickly taking out all the money pouches of Qi San Niang and the other two and stuffing them into his own pocket. As for the semi-spiritual soldiers, he naturally wouldn't let them go either.

Even Xiao Feng's crescent-shaped scimitar, which had been cut in half, was put away by him!
