“Guiding Technique!”

Su Changkong concentrated his Essence Qi Spirit, rapidly circulating the Five Qi in his Sea of Consciousness, drawing in the spiritual energy from nature.

“Whoosh!”

Within a radius of nearly five hundred taels, nature’s spiritual energy surged violently, gathered by Su Changkong. That majestic spiritual energy, like smoke or mist, resembled a surging tidal wave, forming a vortex with Su Changkong at its center, his black hair fluttering, as if he were a deity capable of controlling heaven and earth!

“He can mobilize such a large range of nature’s spiritual energy? The spiritual energy from the entire Ambush Elephant Mountain has been drawn over to him…”

Lian Tianlu’s eyelids twitched a bit as he watched Su Changkong in the center of the spiritual energy vortex, feeling somewhat dry-mouthed and tongue-tied.

As a Five-Qi Grandmaster, Lian Tianlu could only mobilize the spiritual energy within a hundred-tael radius, while Su Changkong could mobilize five hundred taels worth, at least twenty times more than him!

This completely exceeded the understanding of a common Innate Martial Artist.

The Guiding Technique itself didn’t have much combat power, but its mystery lay in improving the cultivator’s physique, allowing for closer alignment with the natural world. By elevating the Guiding Technique to the 10th realm, it underwent a qualitative change!

“Die!”

Pang Shengwu roared with rage as his punch missed the mark. Without pause, his thick and long left hand with splayed fingers grabbed towards Su Changkong. The power that exploded as his five fingers clasped could captivate the soul; even if it caught a body of iron and stone, it would instantly be crushed into powder.

With a vast amount of nature’s spiritual energy being mobilized, the Giant Ape Illusion behind Su Changkong became more solid, and its size rapidly expanded to six or seven taels tall. Each strand of fur flickered with spiritual light, manifested by condensed spiritual energy.

By mobilizing a massive amount of nature’s spiritual energy, all of Su Changkong’s martial arts skills and cultivation techniques were greatly enhanced!

Demon Ape Capturing Space!

Once again, the Giant Ape Illusion performed the Catching Stars and Moon maneuver, and this time space itself seemed to congeal. The colossal force compressed and even Pang Shengwu, three taels tall and imbued with astonishing demonic might, paused in his demon body as he felt two invisible, giant hands capturing and kneading him, pinning him in place.

“Chop!”

With his hands seemingly grasping air, the Flame Prison Blade flew out from the Bag of Book Fragrance at his waist, appearing in his palm. Su Changkong took the Combat Blade in both hands and swung a Horizontal Chop!

Blade Gang formed, filled with Blade Intent!

This chop not only concentrated the Blade Intent and Blade Force but also vibrated with the Blade Gang on the blade’s edge, using the sonic oscillation and disintegration moves of “White Tiger Roars and Kills.” With a focus on the thin blade, the Combat Blade tore through the air, slicing open long cracks in space.

“Shss!”

This all-out effort from Su Changkong ripped through the barrier of demonic power at Pang Shengwu’s waist, creating a tear.

But before blood could even flow out, the wound rapidly healed. Pang Shengwu had naturally reached the Level of Intent Realm and, due to his long years of cultivation, his ’True Meaning’ was stronger than Su Changkong’s Blade Intent, able to resist the damage from Su Changkong’s Blade Intent to his Sea of Consciousness!

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The sounds of explosions rang out as Pang Shengwu swung his thick arms, unleashing world-dominating demonic might that broke through the constriction of the Demon Ape Capturing Space. He raised his fists high and hammered down on Su Changkong before him. His blood-red eyes seemed to bleed from rage, finding Su Changkong to be stronger and more troublesome than he had anticipated.

Five Animal Frolics. Violent Bear Shakes the Earth!

But the Giant Ape Illusion behind Su Changkong transformed, becoming a brown Giant Bear. It rose on its hind legs and, with speed surpassing Pang Shengwu’s, furiously slammed down its bear paws filled with a massive amount of nature’s spiritual energy!

“Boom!”

As the Giant Bear Illusion brought down its paws, the shock could be felt ten miles away with an earth-shattering sensation. As the tremors radiated outward, the ground caved into a giant pit a hundred taels in diameter around where the bear paws struck.

“Retreat!”

Even He Yuchen and Kuoba Ming, who had relied on their demon forms to sneak up close to Su Changkong, were thrown back by the shockwave, along with uprooted trees and spreading cracks as Ambush Elephant Mountain itself threatened to split open!

Pang Shengwu was half-buried in the earth, his body raging with Monster Qi.

“This Vice Master of the Life Extinguishing Association is even more monster-like than a monster… Can such a level of attack not cause him much harm?”

Lian Tianlu and the others steadied their swaying bodies, inwardly shocked by Pang Shengwu’s formidable resilience. That demonic body was practically invulnerable; although each of Su Changkong’s strikes was accompanied by surging spiritual energy, it only inflicted minor damage on Pang Shengwu. For him, it wasn’t even equivalent to losing a hair!

Pang Shengwu felt quite aggrieved. He had this sensation of possessing great power with nowhere to apply it. He knew that a direct punch would shatter Su Changkong to pieces, but Su Changkong’s martial arts and movements, at the level of pseudo Divine Skills, combined with his ability to mobilize massive amounts of nature’s spiritual energy, made it difficult for Pang Shengwu to lay a finger on him.

Neither could best the other!

“Shall I use the power of the Demon Monster King’s blood?”

Feeling the power within him starting to boil and rage uncontrollably, Pang Shengwu hesitated.

He had yet to use the ’King’s Blood’ he absorbed from beneath Ambush Elephant Mountain, and he hadn’t fully refined or mastered it. Forcing its use could potentially cause his new body to collapse and disintegrate.

“Enough!”

After hesitating, Pang Shengwu finally let out a low growl and stepped back, exiting the fray. He, after all, had no intention of fighting to the death with Su Changkong.

Once he refined the gains from this trip, his body would become powerfully strong to an astounding degree, capable of withstanding the energy stored in his other bodies. Combined, he would become so powerful that he would rival Martial Saints and Demon Monster Kings. There was no need to risk the collapse of his body to fight to the death with this human youngster!
