"Dodge!"
The terrible threat brought by this chop had Qi Gang thinking of nothing but avoidance. To do otherwise meant death!
"Whoosh!"
Qi Gang pushed his True Qi to the limit without any hesitation, his body moving like a streak of Sword Qi as he sidestepped, barely dodging Su Changkongâs Splitting Cut.
"Pfft!"
But with the strength of a physique that could rival Alien Beasts, Su Changkongâs chop was terrifyingly fast. Even Qi Gangâs swift dodge wasnât enough to fully evade it; the sword struck down from his left shoulder, shredding his Qi Armor as if it were paper, severing his arm from its socket.
"Boom!"
The relentless force of the blade pressed downward, causing the earth to tremble violently, dust to fly to the heavens, and a massive fissure nearly a hundred meters long to spread out on the ground before them, gaping like the entrance to an abyss, bottomless!
"Hiss!"
The arm thrown into the air was reduced to dust, sliced up by the Blade Intent enveloping Su Changkong.
"My hand... my hand!"
The pain from his severed arm forced a pained groan from Qi Gang, his forehead beading with cold sweat, and unstoppable fear rising in his heart!
After just one exchange, Qi Gang had only inflicted a superficial wound on Su Changkong, while Su Changkong had severed his arm with a single chop. The gap between them was clear for anyone to see!
Without pausing for a moment, Su Changkong pivoted and lunged at Qi Gang again, his Iron-Cutting Sword chopping down like a relentless beast.
With an arm lost and his heart struck with horror, Qi Gang had little capacity to respond.
But Qi Gang wasnât alone. As Su Changkong struck, Kuotuo and the cloaked elder had both already made their move.
Whoosh!
The elderâs cloak writhed irregularly before suddenly transforming into a black giant python, which coiled and slithered around Su Changkongâs right wrist, radiating an immense demonic power. It constricted and ground down, as if a giant maw was devouring and tearing at the flesh of Su Changkongâs arm.
"Vajra Seal!"
Kuotuo, covered in dark golden light, loomed behind Su Changkong. He clasped his hands in a seal, and delivered two heavy punches towards Su Changkongâs spine and the back of his headâboth critical vulnerabilities.
"Thump! Thump!"
The heavy punches caused Su Changkongâs body to sway, making him step half a pace forward, feeling a slight dizziness in his head and a faint pain in his back. But that was all!
To anyone else, those punches from Kuotuo would result in nothing less than death, but for Su Changkong, whose physique was filled with True Blood and as sturdy as an Alien Beastâs, they couldnât even cause a minor injury.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Instead, the attack enraged Su Changkong, causing his heart to beat faster and the blood to surge through his veins like furious rapids, blood vessels bulging out and his presence growing even fiercer.
"Out of the way!"
Su Changkong, without glancing back, moved his body, his left elbow smashing backward like a battering ram, twisting and cracking the air.
"Thud!"
His elbow violently collided with Kuotuoâs chest, the dull explosive sound resonating.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Kuotuo, who practiced the Unparalleled Technique of Kingkongâs Invincible Body, groaned.
Su Changkongâs simple elbow strike felt incredibly heavy; in an instant, accompanied by the sound of shattering bones, Kuotuoâs chest caved in, his skeleton shattered, and his body flew backward like a cannonball, repeatedly smashing and bouncing on the ground before tumbling dozens of times and finally crashing into a cliff face, which caved in and collapsed with him.
The cloak wrapped around Su Changkongâs right arm continued to constrict and grind. But as Su Changkong quickly pumped his True Blood through his right arm, the limb reddened intensely, the heat from his True Blood nearly igniting the air.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Under the scorching heat from the True Blood, the living cloak began to burn. It emitted shrill screams of pain and retracted like it had been electrocuted, prompting the cloaked elder to frantically summon demonic power to extinguish the flames on it!
Having repelled Kuotuo and the cloaked elder, Su Changkong paid them no mind. He knew that injuring an enemyâs ten fingers was not as good as cutting off one. His killing intent was intense as he locked his gaze on the sweat-dripping Qi Gang, and from his mouth, he unleashed a roar like thunder: "Qi Gang! Prepare to die!"
"Rumble!"
The roar echoed through the valley, exploding like thunder and threatening to tear everyoneâs eardrums.
Qi Gang, in particular, felt his heart seize up as Su Changkongâs determination to kill him surged!
All Qi Gang could do was defend, to buy time, hoping Kuotuo and the cloaked elder could strike again to stop Su Changkong.
"Blood Floating Sword Surround!"
Qi Gang bit his tongue to stay focused. Blood surged from the stump where his arm had been, merging with his Sword Intent and natureâs spiritual energy. A visible blood-red Sword Qi barrier enveloped him, reaching out over a meter, ready to grind to mince anyone who came closeâboth an offense and a defense!
But Su Changkongâs eyes brimmed with savagery. He launched a Horizontal Chop with his left hand and the Iron-Cutting Sword!
"Shick!"
The bright blade left a chillingly cold fissure in the air, effortlessly tearing through the thick Sword Qi barrier.
