Chapter 384: Chapter 149 Innate vs. Innate! Spiritual Energy Vortex!_2

“We… stand aside!”

From a distance, their auras locked onto each other, whether it was the Dafeng Iron Cavalry or the Black Wolf Army, they all made way, understanding in their hearts that an astonishing battle was about to erupt on the Sunset Plains, a battle at the level of Innate Martial Artists.

“Hong Zhenxiang, you’re beyond my expectations, to possess such a secret technique?” Chikhatu narrowed his eyes, emitting a dangerous glint. He’d originally thought that killing Hong Zhenxiang would be easy, but unexpectedly…

However, that’s fine, there’s no fun in a challenge-less task. It’s also an excellent opportunity to get some exercise!

“Do you really think you can defeat me in your current overexerted state? You’re just a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”

Chikhatu warmed up his body, his bones emitting a series of light cracks as his aura rose. A smile curved on his lips; he was an Innate Martial Artist, and even if he had only opened one Heavenly Pulse, he was far from someone who had forced their way into the Innate Realm with a secret technique, a Pseudo Innate.

“To kill you… is enough!”

Barely adjusting to the newfound overwhelming strength, Su Changkong spoke in a deep voice, without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward.

Boom!

Dragging a shadow behind, Su Changkong’s figure shattered due to the speed, the afterimages torn apart by the fierce wind, springing forward like a tiger freed from its cage. His Monster Wailing Blade let out an excited howl. A gentle breeze brought Su Changkong’s Chopping Strike, the wind’s force blending into his Blade Force, transforming into a ferocious hurricane, roaring with thunder!

“Huh?”

The sheer terror of this chop startled Chikhatu enough to take it seriously, and with a shout, the axe larger than a man’s waist tore through the air, slashing down furiously to meet Su Changkong’s Monster Wailing Blade!

“Clang!!”

The collision of blade and axe resounded sharply, a deafening metallic crash that even amidst the cacophonous, ten-thousands strong battlefield, spread for tens of miles, leaving eardrums aching and teeth chattering.

“Crack crack crack!”

The ground beneath their feet erupted with force, shattering the earth and sending cracks as wide as an arm spiraling out for more than ten yards.

“This Hong Zhenxiang… indeed has the level of someone who’s just entered the Innate Realm!”

Feeling the immense force transferred to his arm, Chikhatu became serious. ‘Hong Zhenxiang’ had forcibly drawn in nature’s spiritual energy into his body with some secret technique, unleashing combat power that truly reached the Innate level!

Chikhatu, also at the early stages of the Innate Realm, served as the Faction Leader of the Sect’s branch of the Black Lotus Sect, rewarded with Innate Qi for his unwavering loyalty to the Sect.

“Mountain Opening Thirty-six Axe! Kill!”

Resisting Su Changkong’s strike, Chikhatu roared as the spiritual energy of the five elements ran wild around him, swinging his giant axe. He executed a powerful downwards chop that seemed simple but was designed to lock onto Su Changkong’s aura in such a way that no matter how he tried to dodge, it seemed impossible to escape.

Upward Slash!

Su Changkong gathered his Blade Force, the Monster Wailing Blade soaring upwards from below. Having absorbed plenty of blood during the previous battles, the blade cried out sharply.

“Clang!”

The blade and axe collided once more, sparks flying. Under Su Changkong’s feet, an intense force pushed downward, splitting the ground into a long, wide ravine.

Innate Martial Artists, with a casual strike, are far more terrifying than a Martial Artist at the peak of Qi and Blood giving their all!

“Chop!”

With one axe blow following another, Chikhatu’s veins on his arm bulged. His Mountain Opening Thirty-six Axe technique, each strike more ferocious than the last, wouldn’t cease until the enemy was slain.

“I can’t fall into his rhythm!”

Su Changkong was acutely aware of this as his muscles and veins surged with spiritual energy. The Blade Gang Qi in his body trembled, exceedingly solid, gathering along the blade held by Su Changkong. He executed a Horizontal Chop, targeting the descending giant axe.

Sss!

Driven by Blade Force, the Blade Gang Qi even incorporated the surrounding spiritual energy into the strike, making it an unstoppable force that tore an irreparable rift in space.

“Clang!!”

On their third collision, what had been an evenly matched struggle turned in favor as Su Changkong’s full-powered strike combined with Blade Gang Qi tore through Chikhatu’s second axe technique.

“Thud thud thud!”

Chikhatu was forced to stagger backward by the transmitted force!

“I must use all my strength to kill him in the shortest time possible!”

Forcing Chikhatu back with a strike, Su Changkong knew he couldn’t sustain a lengthy battle and needed to use every means at his disposal to take down Chikhatu.

Giant Whale Technique. Long Whale Inhales Water!

Su Changkong took a deep breath, drawing in the air and spiritual energy around him. His muscles crackled as his body expanded a size, his muscles fitting tightly against the Star-patterned golden armor without a gap.

His tall and robust body seemed to be wrapped in thunderbolts and lightning.

“Sss!”

Not stopping there, Su Changkong ran his Monster Wailing Blade against the palm of his left hand, instantly causing blood to drip out. The blade greedily sucked at his blood, with its dark red patterns all turning a bloody red.

Devouring large amounts of Su Changkong’s blood, the Monster Wailing Blade extended numerous thread-like filaments that wound around Su Changkong’s arm, conveying a sense of blood connection, giving Su Changkong a feeling of ecstatic painlessness and agony!
