Chapter 200 - 199: Extermination by Divine Thunder

A smile played on Qin Feng’s lips, as if he hadn’t noticed Su Mu’s killing intent.

"Kill!" The next moment, Su Mu moved. With a Dragon Walk and Tiger Stride, his figure appeared ten paces from Qin Feng in an instant, and he thrust out a palm.

The palm strike was incredibly fast and packed with profound power. Su Mu had intended it as a surprise attack, catching everyone off guard. Gasps of shock erupted from the crowd.

Luan Xiaochuan, Xu Jie, Zhao Yuan, and the others looked on with shock and fury. The various Inspectors, however, just sneered.

Qin Feng felt a sense of threat. From dozens of paces away, a majestic force washed over him, vast as an immeasurable sea. A numbing sensation spread through Qin Feng’s bones.

Qin Feng’s mind and spirit focused to their absolute limit. After cultivating to the Martial Arts Ten Heavens, his Sixth Sense had become exceptionally powerful.

This formidable Sixth Sense gave Qin Feng an esoteric, almost mystical feeling. The very instant Su Mu’s killing intent erupted, he sensed it.

Qin Feng clearly sensed the direction of Su Mu’s attack. As the Array Master of the Level 4 Chaos Divine Thunder Array, he harnessed the array’s power and instantly teleported a hundred paces away.

RUMBLE!

Su Mu’s palm slammed into the ground, leaving a massive crater and making the earth tremble as if in a quake.

Qin Feng’s dodge took everyone by surprise.

"He actually dodged that killing blow!"

"Could he have predicted that Elder Su would attack?"

"Could it be Qi sensing?" a Martial Artist guessed.

"Impossible! Elder Su attacked so fast that even if he did sense it, he shouldn’t have been able to dodge that palm strike!"

...

After his palm strike missed, Su Mu realized he might have underestimated Qin Feng after all. He let out a low roar and shot toward Qin Feng like a streak of light, ready to strike again.

Relying on his immense strength, Su Mu was like a rampaging, tyrannical bull. His palm strike descended with overwhelming power.

The highest good is like water; it benefits all things and does not compete.

Qin Feng’s expression shifted slightly. A suffocating pressure bore down on him, but he once again used the array’s power, his figure dissolving into an afterimage as he moved.

BOOM!

Qin Feng’s figure was blasted to pieces by the palm strike!

It was an afterimage!

Qin Feng reappeared several hundred paces away, his expression calm. ’What tyrannical power,’ he thought. ’From dozens of paces away, it nearly shattered every bone in my body. The Condensing Vein Realm has five great Secret Realms. This man must have comprehended at least four of them. His strength is simply earth-shattering!’

Qin Feng was stunned. This Su Mu was definitely the strongest Condensing Vein Realm expert he had ever encountered.

In terms of both speed and power, Su Mu could completely crush him.

Even if he used the Innate Primordial Extinction Sixth Sword, Qin Feng wasn’t confident he could even injure the man.

Su Mu had discovered the profound nature of the array. With its support, Qin Feng was as slippery as a rabbit. Unless Su Mu could lock onto him completely, Qin Feng could just keep using the array’s power to teleport away.

Su Mu’s face was grim, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Qin Feng, if you have any guts, stop hiding!"

Qin Feng’s eyes darted, and he suddenly laughed. "Alright, then I won’t hide!"

Qin Feng interlaced his fingers, brought his hands together, and sat cross-legged atop the Array Hub of the Chaos Divine Thunder Array. Layers of faint gray, crackling lightning appeared between his clasped palms.

Qin Feng uttered a single word. "Go!"

The Chaos Divine Thunder roared, and a single strand of faint gray lightning shot toward Su Mu, enveloping him.

RUMBLE!

The Void cracked everywhere it passed.

Su Mu’s expression changed drastically. With a single movement, he split into nine identical ’Su Mus’. One remained in place while the other eight fled in all directions.

Every single Su Mu looked incredibly real.

It was impossible to tell which one was the original!

RUMBLE!

The faint gray lightning struck the Su Mu that had remained in place, and in an instant, that ’Su Mu’ was annihilated.

It was a fake!

The real Su Mu flickered into existence a hundred paces away, and the other seven afterimages merged back into his body.

This was a Water Element Martial Arts Divine Power Su Mu had cultivated: Water Spirit Clone. By infusing it with True Power, he could create temporary clones that possessed one percent of his own strength.

These clones were exceptionally realistic; their auras and Qi were identical to his own, and they even had combat capabilities. It was nearly impossible to tell them apart from the real one.

Qin Feng stopped performing his Seal Technique, a contemplative look on his face. He had to find a way to tell the real from the fake among the nine clones, or he would just be wasting his True Qi.

"So it really is Chaos Divine Thunder!" Su Mu looked up slightly and sneered. "Qin Feng, although I don’t know how you managed to set up such a powerful array, an array always needs an Array Master to control it to unleash its full power!"

"I don’t know much about the Dao of arrays, but I do know that the higher an array’s level, the more energy it consumes to operate!"

Su Mu smiled confidently, his cold gaze fixed on Qin Feng. "This array’s power is astounding. To operate it, your own energy consumption must be enormous!"

"Let me guess... you can fire that Divine Thunder one more time at most, maybe two!"

"After those two times, you’ll be nothing more than fish on my chopping block!"

Su Mu stared at Qin Feng without moving, and he noticed the change Qin Feng was trying desperately to hide in the depths of his eyes.

A trace of smugness appeared in his eyes as Su Mu sneered, "Did I guess right?"

Although it was a question, Su Mu was already certain.

Qin Feng remained silent. Su Mu had guessed correctly. Although the Chaos Divine Thunder Array was immensely powerful, Qin Feng himself was only a First-Grade Xuan Master.

A First-Grade Xuan Master controlling a Level 4 Array was like a child trying to wield a giant sledgehammer.

Two more times was indeed Qin Feng’s limit.

Qin Feng didn’t intend to hide this fact either.

Qin Feng looked up, his gaze calm. "You’re not wrong. I can indeed only use it two more times."

After speaking, a faint smile touched the corners of Qin Feng’s lips. "But even if I only have two shots left, the first will be enough to severely injure you, and the second will leave you without a complete corpse!"

"Facing death and still talking tough!"

Su Mu had immense confidence in his Divine Abilities. He had once been hunted by a Half-Step Sea of Reincarnation Realm expert, but even that powerhouse had been unable to tell his eight clones from his real body.

Su Mu refused to believe that this ant—who was merely at the Martial Arts Ten Heavens and hadn’t even stepped into the Condensing Vein Realm—could possibly succeed where the other had failed.

"Die!" With a cold expression and murderous intent flashing in his eyes, Su Mu’s figure erupted forward. Like a rampaging dragon, he appeared dozens of paces from Qin Feng and launched a palm strike through the air.

"Chaos Divine Thunder!" A cold sneer appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes as a faint gray Thunder Ball materialized in his palm.

"Qin Feng, that trick won’t work on me anymore. Your life is mine for the taking!"

Su Mu sneered contemptuously. His figure flickered, and he once again used his True Power to manifest eight clones, which surrounded his real body as they all shot toward Qin Feng from eight different directions to kill him.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, concentrating his formidable Sixth Sense to its absolute peak. A profoundly mystical sensation arose in his mind.

This time, Qin Feng activated his Innate Divine Abilities. His Innate Divine Abilities gave him an inherently strong control over water vapor.

In Qin Feng’s vision, nine ’Su Mus’ appeared. They rushed toward him at extreme speed from eight directions—up, down, left, right, and the four cardinal points. From eight of these ’Su Mus’, Qin Feng felt a distinct and exceptionally clear sense of affinity.

These eight were the Water Spirit Clones, imbued with the essence of Water Spirits!

Qin Feng’s gaze locked onto the ninth figure rushing toward him!

’That’s him!’

A vicious glint flashed in his eyes. The faint gray lightning in Qin Feng’s palm erupted like a thunderbolt, blasting toward that ’Su Mu’.

’Su Mu’s’ expression suddenly changed, his face instantly turning deathly pale! A look of utter disbelief flashed in his eyes!

BOOM!

The Chaos Thunder struck its target dead-on.

"Aaargh!"

A bloodcurdling scream echoed across Heavenly Red Peak!

(This is the fifth update. There will be one more tonight.)
