Chapter 45: Pull Out the Pillar!
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
“How is this possible?”
Zhao Xing, witnessing this scene, was utterly shocked.
Only those in the Godly Realm could lift a massive pillar like this. But it was indeed happening.
The pillar was shaking violently, and it could be pulled out by Lu Changsheng at any moment.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Xing immediately strode forward, rushing towards Lu Changsheng to prevent him from extracting the pillar.
“Rumbling.”
The pillar still shook intensely, but it hadn’t snapped yet.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
In the next moment, his blood and energy transformed into fine threads, a skill known as Blood and Energy Threads.
Afterward, his blood and energy threads rapidly covered the pillar. These threads resembled small, blood-red tentacles crawling all over the pillar. From a distance, it gave a spine-chilling sensation.
This was the ingenious use of Blood and Energy Threads. Initially, Lu Changsheng had cultivated Blood and Energy Threads to refine his organs. However, he hadn’t anticipated that this technique would have other applications.
In the following moment, all the Blood and Energy Threads erupted.
It felt as if a multitude of tentacles had collectively exerted force, causing the massive pillar to shake even more violently.
Lu Changsheng had always relied on the Swift Killing Art, killing enemies suddenly and invisibly.
However, he possessed more than just speed.
On the contrary, Lu Changsheng had reached the limit of his blood and energy, had entered the Jade Bone Realm, and undergone a blood transfusion.
Among body-forging martial artists, his physical attributes were already among the top tier. There were few martial artists at his level with physical attributes comparable to his.
Hence, Lu Changsheng’s strength was actually quite terrifying. He had been refraining from exerting his full power because he primarily relied on the Swift Killing Art.
However, the Swift Killing Art had become ineffective against Zhao Xing, who was wearing iron armor. Therefore, he had to unleash his full power.
“Crack.”
Finally, with the assistance of countless Blood and Energy Threads, the massive pillar broke.
Lu Changsheng exerted force and completely severed the pillar. Holding a several-yard-long piece of it in his hands.
However, the pillar was exceptionally heavy.
Lu Changsheng had to clasp it with both hands.
Surprisingly, he didn’t replace it inconvenient. Instead, he felt elated.
The countless Blood and Energy Threads were like extensions of his limbs, making them incredibly flexible.
Furthermore, Lu Changsheng had already reached the limit of his blood and energy, and his blood and energy had increased significantly after the blood transfusion. Only with such formidable blood and energy could he squander it so freely.
Lu Changsheng held the pillar with both hands and gazed at Zhao Xing, who was rapidly charging toward him. His eyes revealed a glint of determination.
He violently swept the pillar in a circle.
“Bang.”
The colossal pillar swept across, directly colliding with Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
Although he had the protection of the iron armor and hadn’t sustained any injuries, as he looked at Lu Changsheng in the distance, his heart sank slightly.
Lu Changsheng raised the pillar high once more.
“Boom.”
In the next moment, the pillar crashed down upon Zhao Xing.
Despite wearing the iron armor and remaining relatively agile, Zhao Xing was still influenced to some extent. Moreover, Lu Changsheng exhibited almost no hesitation and moved rapidly.
Especially with the help of the Blood and Energy Threads, Lu Changsheng was able to wield the pillar with exceptional ease.
The colossal pillar descended, and Zhao Xing had no means to dodge it.
“Since I can’t dodge it, I won’t!”
Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and steeled his resolve. When it came to sheer strength, he had never feared anyone.
With determination in his heart, Zhao Xing stood up again. He slightly bent his legs, then exerted all his power and struck a punch towards the descending pillar.
“Boom.”
The pillar crashed down, and his fist collided with it.
However, a terrifying force emanated from the pillar, instantly causing Zhao Xing’s expression to change drastically.
He had underestimated Lu Changsheng’s strength.
Lu Changsheng unleashed his full power, coupled with the weight of the pillar; this strike was as if Mount Tai itself had come crashing down, leaving Zhao Xing feeling an overwhelming pressure.
Without much thought, Zhao Xing immediately raised his other hand and struck the pillar forcefully.
“Bang.”
The pillar finally came to a halt, but Zhao Xing had exerted himself to the limits, especially with the sweat pouring from him even within his iron armor. His face had flushed red, and it was evident that defending against Lu Changsheng’s previous blow had drained his energy.
“Once more!”
Lu Changsheng raised the pillar vigorously, then fiercely struck it down again.
“Boom.”
The entire underground hall seemed to tremble.
Lu Changsheng held the pillar and repeatedly smashed it onto Zhao Xing’s head.
It was as if a hammer was striking a nail, blow after blow.
One, two, three, four, five…
When Lu Changsheng reached the fifth strike, Zhao Xing’s iron armor could still withstand it, but the ground couldn’t.
“Crack.”
The ground had already cracked, and Lu Changsheng, wielding the pillar, applied his strength relentlessly. Each hit was as if thousands of pounds of force.
With every strike, Zhao Xing felt his whole body tremble. His bones and muscles were subjected to tremendous force. If not for the iron armor, he might have died long ago.
However, even with the armor, the ground couldn’t endure the relentless blows, forming a deep pit. Zhao Xing was pinned beneath the earth like a nail, with only his shoulders and above exposed, completely immobilized.
Finally, Zhao Xing ceased struggling and gradually became still.
Lu Changsheng propped the pillar into the ground and paused.
For a moment, the entire underground hall fell into an eerie silence.
All eyes were fixed on Lu Changsheng.
The scene they had witnessed just now had completely shattered their understanding.
Was this the martial artist they thought they knew?
Using such a massive pillar as a weapon, Lu Changsheng had literally pounded Zhao Xing into the ground, leaving him trapped.
At this moment, a figure dressed in red, Shen Ying, took advantage of the situation and climbed to his feet. He then approached Zhao Xing and abruptly removed his helmet.
Under the helmet, Zhao Xing’s face was drenched in blood, and his features were barely recognizable.
The relentless shocks were incredibly terrifying. Even if he hadn’t died, he was on the brink of death.
Shen Ying grinned, reveling in his victory.
“Hahaha, Zhao Xing, do you finally have your comeuppance?”
Zhao Xing tried to open his eyes but couldn’t speak at this moment.
Shen Ying, however, took hold of his big knife and struck towards Zhao Xing’s head.
“Thud.”
Zhao Xing’s head was severed by Shen Ying.
Instantly, blood gushed like a fountain, filling the air with a heavy, metallic scent.
Zhao Xing was dead.
Shen Ying raised Zhao Xing’s head and placed it in the southeast direction.
That was the location of Taicang County.
Shen Ying used Zhao Xing’s head to pay tribute to the 318 souls of the Shen family village in Taicang County!
“Master Xu has fled!”
At this moment, some of the doctors and attendants released by Lu Changsheng shouted loudly.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng raised his head to look and indeed saw no sign of “Kind-hearted Master Xu.”
Sometime during the chaos, he had managed to escape unnoticed.
“Old Xu, who helped the tyrant, deserves death!”
Shen Ying was brimming with killing intent. He immediately brandished his blade and leaped into pursuit of Master Xu, who was fleeing..
