Chapter 269: You’re Strong. You’re Worthy Of Making Me Transform!
Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, training ground.
As Luo Wu Shang swung her sword, a surge of sword qi pierced the earth and sky, instantly cleaving outward toward Huo She of the Three-eyed Tribe, dozens of meters away.
The geniuses of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals in between reacted in time and used their best martial skills to block, but in front of Luo Wu Shang, whose physical fitness had already surpassed the Extreme Advanced Level Bone Forging Realm, especially when this strike carried Supernatural Level sword qi, even a Vice City Lord Level expert using an Extraordinary Martial Skill would not dare claim they could firmly block it, let alone these Earth Star Pharmaceuticals geniuses who were not even at Vice City Lord Level.
In the blink of an eye, five geniuses whose strength had reached Advanced Bone Forging Realm had their bodies pierced through by the sword qi, dying beyond any doubt.
“Just you, and you want to kill me?”
Huo She did not care at all about his companions’ deaths. Facing this Heaven Slash, the Second Tier greatsword on his back did not even leave its sheath. He merely gripped the hilt with one hand as a unicorn giant snake phantom, over a hundred meters long, suddenly manifested around him, let out a hiss toward the sky, and whipped its body at high speed.
Bang!
The sword qi collided with the unicorn giant snake phantom like clashing metal, the sound echoing for several kilometers around. The terrifying impact even blasted Bone Forging Realm experts within a hundred meters flying.
Only when the dust over the training ground settled did everyone present, including the players in the hall, involuntarily draw in a sharp breath.
On the training ground originally paved with energy ore, centered on Huo She, the ground within a fifty-meter radius looked as if an entire layer had been shaved off. In addition, there was a gully over a kilometer long and more than ten meters deep carved across the training ground, and even an abandoned skyscraper outside the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had been cleaved in half.
“Are they monsters?”
Whether it was the martial arts hall disciples on the training ground or the apprentices and martial artists seeking guidance who had come, as they looked at this scene, their eyes widened and they could not believe such a thing could be done by humans.
Although the two had exchanged only a single move, this vast training ground of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had been turned directly into ruins, and even the over-hundred-meter-tall abandoned skyscraper outside had been cut into two. Such a battle was simply unheard of. They had not expected that battles between Bone Forging Realm experts could be this terrifying.
“Did he deflect my attack?”
Luo Wu Shang glanced at the sword mark that had completely deviated from its trajectory and revealed a trace of surprise on her face.
She had originally wanted a quick battle, since there were fewer than a hundred Bone Forging Realm experts on the other side, and if she moved too slowly, others would snatch the credit.
But her full-power strike just now had been useless against Huo She. The moment the sword qi struck that giant snake phantom, it was knocked aside by the spinning snake body. It was the first time she had ever seen such a martial skill.
Meanwhile, the members of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals were also looking at Luo Wu Shang with considerable surprise. They had not expected the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to have such an expert, someone who could make Huo She directly use the Sequence Extraordinary Martial Skill Flame Snake Seven Transformations.
That move was Huo She’s signature technique in Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, and the reason he was called Huo She.
Among the new generation of geniuses in Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, only a very few super geniuses could push Huo She to use Flame Snake Seven Transformations.
“There is actually an expert in this Obsidian Martial Arts Hall on the same level as the Vice City Lord?”
Inside the hall, Wu Zhuoqun was both shocked and excited at this scene.
Even a fool could see that Luo Wu Shang’s previous strike was definitely a Supernatural Level martial skill. Coupled with her terrifying qi and blood, her strength had definitely reached Vice City Lord Level.
In his view, having Lin Qi, a Vice City Lord Level expert, in the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was already unbelievable. He had not expected that the hall still hid such a terrifying expert, and she was even wearing a disciple outfit.
One hall with two Vice City Lord Level experts. Such strength would be considered top-tier even in the vast Wushan Region, a faction that absolutely ranked among the best, especially since Hall Master Lin Qi was no ordinary Vice City Lord Level expert.
It could be said that as long as the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was given time, it would definitely become a major power in the Wushan Region in the future, one that all major cities would have to show respect to.
“So this is the foundation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?”
Beside him, Xiong Yuedie looked at Luo Wu Shang in the Bone Forging Realm, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Although she already knew that the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had many geniuses, seeing it with her own eyes now was ten times more exaggerated than the rumors.
Luo Wu Shang clearly looked very young, probably about the same age as her. Someone her age whose strength had reached Vice City Lord Level made her seriously doubt whether she herself truly deserved to be called a genius.
At this moment, Yaklo, standing not far behind Luo Wu Shang, looked at Luo Wu Shang’s figure, the shock in his heart no less than that of Xiong Yuedie and the others.
“How many secrets is this Obsidian Martial Arts Hall still hiding?”
Yaklo believed that after spending so much time in the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, even if he did not know every detail, he understood the hall quite well.
As for Bone Forging Realm experts, he had thought there was only Lin Qi in the entire Obsidian Martial Arts Hall; everyone else was just a martial artist.
Such strength could already be considered one of the best within a city. Especially Hall Master Lin Qi, in terms of both talent and strength, even if he were placed in Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, he would still be able to compete with the super geniuses.
That was why he had chosen to join the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
In Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, he had seen too many geniuses. As long as those super geniuses grew up, they would each become a true overlord that ordinary regional factions could not afford to provoke.
And as an Outer Domain Force, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals could at best send some Bone Forging Realm experts here. Any Blood Condensation Realm powerhouse who came would be under strict surveillance by the Domain City.
As long as he could hold out until Lin Qi grew up, he would be able to gain complete freedom in the Wushan Region.
But what he had not expected was that aside from Lin Qi, the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had actually hidden another expert, whose strength was clearly beyond that of an ordinary Vice City Lord Level expert.
However, after Yaklo glanced at the distant Three-eyed Race youth and the burly man of the Half-Beast Race, he still shook his head and sighed inwardly.
Just a little more.
It could be said they were just a little short. If they had given the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall a bit more time, whether it was Lin Qi or this female disciple before them, as long as either advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals would have no way to deal with them.
But fate was clearly not on his side. Earth Star Pharmaceuticals had come too quickly, and had even sent two super geniuses at once. The Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in its current state was simply no match.
Being in the Bone Forging Realm himself and a senior researcher in Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, he knew all too well how terrifying the foundation of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals was.
Extraordinary Martial Skills that others would have almost no chance to learn could be freely chosen and studied by Earth Star Pharmaceuticals’ geniuses. On top of that, they could learn Extraordinary Martial Skills that were included in the Sequence.
Those Sequence Extraordinary Martial Skills were techniques that, once mastered, allowed one to fight across realms. Within Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, to be called a super genius, one not only had to learn a Sequence Extraordinary Martial Skill, but also cultivate it to the First Level Perfected Realm.
What Huo She, this super genius, was currently displaying was only a small part of his strength.
“No wonder your Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could defeat Star Tower City. You do have some skill, to be able to cultivate a genius like you.” Huo She now looked at Luo Wu Shang with evident excitement. “I have taken one of your moves, now it is my turn.”
With that, Huo She again gripped his sword hilt with one hand, but unlike before, this time the greatsword left its sheath. A unicorn giant snake phantom wreathed in flames formed around him. The natural pressure it exuded made every martial artist and Bone Forging Realm expert present feel their hearts pound, as if they could smell death.
As Huo She completely drew his greatsword and took a step toward Luo Wu Shang, he suddenly thrust.
The giant snake phantom also opened its maw and lunged at Luo Wu Shang ahead of the sword.
Sequence Extraordinary Martial Skill Flame Snake Seven Transformations, First Level, Snake Shadow Transformation.
Luo Wu Shang had no intention of evading. She once more gathered her strength and slashed.
Transcendent Martial Skill: Absolute Heaven.
Boom!
The towering sword light collided with the giant snake phantom. This time, people within several kilometers felt the earth shudder, as if a massive earthquake had struck.
At the epicenter in the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall training ground, which was the size of two or three football fields, the ground was now shattered and collapsed in many places. Many of the surrounding watching martial artists could not help but spit blood. As for those below the level of martial artist, they either died from the shock or fainted on the ground. Only the Bone Forging Realm experts were not too badly affected.
At the center of the battlefield, Huo She stood calmly, slowly sheathing his greatsword. As for Luo Wu Shang, who should have been standing there, at some unknown moment she had already vanished. Her body had blasted through more than ten rooms of the hall like a cannonball, buried within rubble, her life or death completely unknown.
“Unfortunately, the foundation of your Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is too shallow. If you had grown up in Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, you might really have been able to fight me.” Huo She glanced at the collapsed pile of buildings in the hall, a hint of regret in his eyes.
After clashing head-on with Luo Wu Shang, he could feel that her physical fitness should be about the same as his. Relying on the treasures he had consumed earlier and the First Level Perfected Realm of the Sequence Extraordinary Martial Skill, his actual punching strength could reach twenty-three tons, and Luo Wu Shang’s real strength was about the same.
But unfortunately, there was a considerable gap between the martial skills they each commanded. Otherwise, Luo Wu Shang could have had a good fight with him.
“This Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is already impressive. To think just a disciple could make you use your full strength. She did not lose unjustly.” Ying Ya, the burly Half-Beast Race man walking over beside him, could not help but look at the pile of collapsed buildings where Luo Wu Shang had been swallowed.
Originally, they thought the greatest obstacle they would face upon arriving at the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would be that hall master Lin Qi, rumored to be close to the Blood Condensation Realm. They had not expected that just a disciple of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would force super geniuses like them to go all out.
“All right, let’s hurry up and take the person away. If the garrison discovers this when they arrive, it will be hard to explain to the Wushan Region.” Huo She stopped looking at Luo Wu Shang, who had been blasted into the hall, and turned his gaze directly to Yaklo in the distance, still coughing up blood.
His previous strike had intentionally avoided Yaklo’s direction. Otherwise, the Snake Shadow Transformation would not only have taken Luo Wu Shang’s life, its aftermath would have been enough to kill Yaklo, who was merely a Beginner Martial Artist.
But just as Huo She ordered the other Earth Star Pharmaceuticals geniuses to move, he suddenly noticed that, at some unknown time, a large group of Peak High-Level Martial Artists had gathered around Yaklo.
At this moment, these Peak High-Level Martial Artists were looking at the situation before them as if watching a show, their expressions indescribably calm. Some were even chatting and laughing as they faced the charging members of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. It was simply unbelievable.
“So these are the people who are going to attack ours?”
“These guys are strong, they actually sent Vice President Luo flying. Looks like the final boss of this plot is not going to be simple.”
“But how are we going to split these dozens of Bone Forging Realm targets?”
“Let those dozens of Bone Forging Realm ones be free-for-all. As for those two Bone Forging Realm bosses, first come, first served, and no other team is allowed to interfere.”
Yi Ye Fu Yun, Fang Zhen, Lu Fanchen, and the others walked out of the lounge of the hall at this moment. Looking at the approaching Bone Forging Realm experts of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, they were all visibly excited and eager. Especially when they looked at Huo She and Ying Ya, it was as if they were staring at some rare treasure, all itching to make a move.
The previous total war had ended too quickly. They had not had time to enjoy it, and the battle had ended before they even saw the final boss. Although they had earned merit, the fighting had been unsatisfying, mostly just being mobbed by NPCs on the other side, with no technical challenge at all.
Now, with two Bone Forging Realm bosses, they could finally get some real tempering.
Behind them, Yaklo was bewildered as he listened to these players. Although the true disciples of the hall had always been strange, the fact that they could still joke around in the face of dozens of Advanced Bone Forging Realm martial artists, even dividing Huo She and Ying Ya between themselves, made it unclear whether these real hall disciples were too arrogant or too crazy, completely failing to grasp the current situation.
“Captain Wuka, should we make a move?” The long-eared tribe beauty looked at the embattled Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and turned to the leader from the long-eared tribe.
“Wait a bit longer.” Wuka shook his head and looked at Fang Zhen and the others standing at the front, with a trace of wariness in his eyes. “These grey-clothed people are probably only now getting serious.”
As a member of the Lionheart Merchant Guild, he knew all too well how strong these grey-clothed people were.
Although the Bone Forging Realm experts before had been defeated, what really made all the major caravans wary were these high-level martial artists. Normally, Bone Forging Realm experts would not pay any attention to high-level martial artists, but these high-level martial artists among the grey-clothed people could transform.
Once they transformed, their strength became terrifying.
It could be said that only now was the real battle between this group of grey-clothed people and Earth Star Pharmaceuticals about to begin. Everything before had been just a warm-up.
On the other side, when Yaklo was just about to speak up and urge these Obsidian Martial Arts Hall disciples to give up, a commotion came from within the hall. The collapsed rubble was blasted aside, and a terrifying aura of life spread across the entire area. Everyone present could not help but look toward the collapsed ruin within the hall, including Huo She and Ying Ya.
“This life aura… how is this possible?”
Huo She and Ying Ya stared fixedly at the familiar figure slowly walking out of the rubble, their mouths agape, their eyes full of disbelief.
Because the one walking out of the pile of rubble was none other than Luo Wu Shang, who had taken a Flame Snake Seven Transformations head-on.
At this moment, Luo Wu Shang was not only uninjured, she was completely fine, and her life aura was terrifying beyond measure, just like the Catastrophe Level Monsters they had seen before, perhaps even more frightening.
“That hit hurt enough. You are strong. You are qualified to make me transform. Now let us begin round two.” Luo Wu Shang rolled her shoulders and neck, looked at Huo She, and showed a slight smile.
From that strike of Huo She just now, she had almost thought she was going to die.
But the result exceeded her expectations. With her incomparably hard Transcendental Bone, although Huo She’s blow had injured her, it had not been fatal. With the Recovery Power of the Second Level Body Strengthening Secret Technique, she had already recovered by ninety percent.
She understood that in her normal state she was no longer a match for Huo She. She would have to get serious.
