Chapter 212: Chapter 103: Unrivaled in All Directions! Parting a Thousand Armies with Ease!_2
The Divine Arm Crossbow was a deadly weapon exclusive to the elite Ink Forest Army of Ink Forest Prefecture City. Capable of piercing through heavy armor from over 800 steps away, even the strongest of Martial Artists facing it would be killed on the spot. Sikong Yong, who had previously had his eyes gouged out by Su Changkong, although he had reached the Qi Blood Four Transformation, was also shot dead on the spot!
Su Changkong stood still, seemingly not anticipating an assassination attempt from hundreds of meters away at this moment. When a skilled Body Refinement Great Achievement Martial Artist operated the Divine Arm Crossbow, the massive arrow shot out with precision, hitting Su Changkong directly in the chest!
âPfft!â
However, the expected scene of Su Changkong being pierced on the spot did not occur. The arrow struck his chest with a faint sound, and the spiral-shaped metal arrowhead, upon entering less than an inch into the three-inch-thick Qi Armor, lost all its kinetic energy and dropped to the ground with a clatter.
âHow is that possible?â
Su Changkong coldly looked up at the watchtower hundreds of meters away. The Body Refinement Great Achievement Sea Pirate operating the Divine Arm Crossbow staggered backward, barely stopping himself from falling off the tower. Sweat trickled down his forehead as if he had seen a ghost; his heart seized up. How could someone emerge unscathed after a direct hit from the Divine Arm Crossbow? This defied his understanding!
âHow exactly did this Sikong Yong train?â Tie Jinggang, witnessing this, was also extremely shocked.
Tie Jinggang excelled in Horizontal Training External Strength and had reached a balance of hardness and softness, making him impervious to blades and spears. He believed that, if prepared, he could withstand a hit from the Divine Arm Crossbow from hundreds of meters away, but he could never remain as unshaken and uninjured as Su Changkong!
âI will⊠smash you to pieces!â
A high-spirited fighting intention surfaced on Su Changkongâs face, his deep voice like surging waves, as he stamped his foot on the ground.
âRoar!â
The mighty True Qi hammered down, forming nearly a ten-foot diameter crater where Su Changkong stood. His body burst forward violently, like a fierce tiger, and a thunderous roar exploded in Tie Jinggangâs ears, causing him to feel dizzy.
âNot good!â
As Tie Jinggangâs senses briefly blurred, Su Changkong was already upon him. His right fist, carrying an utterly thick True Qi, smashed directly into Tie Jinggangâs chest.
âIron Shirt, Iron Armor Steel Bone!â
Although taken aback, Tie Jinggang did not panic. With no time to dodge, he circulated the Qi and Blood throughout his body, pushing his Horizontal Training Hard Skill to its limit. His muscles tensed like metal, emitting a metallic luster seen through his flesh, as if he had transformed from flesh and blood into an iron and stone colossus!
ButâŠ
Whale Five Skills, Endless Furious Sea!
âBang!!â
Su Changkongâs fierce punch slammed into Tie Jinggangâs chest, with the wild True Qi converging to a point, like an enraged sea causing a giant vortex and turning into an immense tidal wave, furiously pouring out.
âCrack crack crack!â
Tie Jinggangâs muscles, harder than iron, collapsed and dented severely. Bones, as solid as steel, shattered and snapped as Su Changkongâs fist sank into them.
âAh!â
Tie Jinggang spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of inner organs. His Horizontal Training Hard Skill, which he prided himself on, was so fragile against Su Changkongâs full-force True Qi-infused punch!
Without a doubt, had Tie Jinggangâs Horizontal Training Hard Skill not been so advanced, this punch could have blown him up, scattering flesh and blood!
Tie Jinggangâs body uncontrollably flew backward but then abruptly stopped as Su Changkongâs left hand grabbed his wrist and forcefully pulled him back.
âCanât even withstand a single punch from me, and you dare call yourself Tie Jinggang?â Su Changkong sneered, looking down at Tie Jinggang, who lay half-collapsed on the ground, coughing up blood.
âCough cough⊠How could⊠this beâŠâ Tie Jinggang coughed up blood continuously, attempting to fight back but unable due to his collapsed chest and shattered bones, leaving him without any strength. He found it difficult to accept.
Sikong Yong was acknowledged to be strong by Tie Jinggang, but being the Ninth Grand Thief, he believed that even with a gap between them, he could manage a few exchanges. He could not imagine his opponent being this powerful, being injured to the point of being helpless to resist with just one punch. Had he known the vast difference, he would not have involved himself in this murky situation!
Whoosh!
A faint piercing sound filled the air. As Su Changkong heavily injured Tie Jinggang with one punch, the Ghost Shadow Elder emerged from a shadow beside him. His aged face was filled with ruthlessness as his dagger, gleaming faintly, stabbed viciously toward the side of Su Changkongâs ribcage.
The Ghost Shadow Elderâs dagger could slice through iron like mud, and it was coated with a deadly poison that sealed the throat upon drawing blood. Even a scratch on the skin could kill a Qi-Blood Realm Martial Artist instantly!
Behind Su Changkong, Shattered Soul Hand Li Hun also attacked again, his palms emitting a ghastly green mingled with the color of blood, using his full power.
âBang!â
The heavy palm strike exploded on Su Changkongâs back. The sinister palm force aimed to crush the heart and break the veins, but Su Changkongâs Qi Armor on his back trembled slightly, swelling like the depth of the sea. The force of the palm, once it entered, dissipated as if a mud ox had plunged into the ocean, neutralized completely.
The Turtle Breath Technique, compared to attack, was better at defense! As long as the Turtle Breathing Qi Armor couldnât be broken, it would be tough to harm Su Changkong in the slightest!
When faced with the Ghost Shadow Elderâs poisoned dagger, Su Changkong grabbed it with a single hand, directly wrapping his palm with True Qi. The knife, which could slice through iron like mud, could not penetrate any further, nor could it tear through Su Changkongâs Turtle Breathing Qi Armor.
âIs this Sikong Yong a monster?â both the Ghost Shadow Elder and Li Hun thought, terrified.
Most Qi and Blood realm Martial Artists could not withstand a strike from a peer unless they practiced Horizontal Training Hard Skill and had a formidable body.
