Chapter 295: You Cannot Cut Down All The Green Hills And Clear Waters, Nor Exhaust The Loyal Blood And True Hearts
High above, the scorching sun hung in the sky.
As the massive hull, broken into two pieces, crashed to the ground with a thunderous boom, the storm it raised spread across all of Chiyue Town, and the trembling earth rippled out for dozens of kilometers.
Only then did the residents in Chiyue Town and the members of the major powers who had come for the auction slowly come back to their senses, though their eyes were still filled with shock, especially those who knew the Sky Battleship of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals well. None of them could believe their eyes.
It was forged entirely from C6-grade alloy, able to block even the attacks of a Catastrophe Level Monster for quite some time. It could be called a product Black Steel Heavy Industry took great pride in.
Yet now it had been cleaved in two in a single move, with even a massive hole blown through the hull itself. It was simply enough to make one suspect they were dreaming.
“A Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist destroyed a Sky Battleship with a single strike. Could it be that Obsidian Martial Arts Hall actually commands such martial skills?” Dona stared at the fallen Sky Battleship, unable to help clicking her tongue. When she looked at Fang Zhen in midair, who had destroyed the Sky Battleship, her eyes brimmed with envy and burning heat.
Although when she first visited Obsidian Martial Arts Hall she had already been shocked by its method of Levitation, and later, through cultivation in Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, had broken through step by step until her physical fitness reached Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level, leaving her deeply shaken by the hall’s methods.
But now, seeing Fang Zhen, she realized she had still underestimated Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
“Little sis, seeing how good your relationship is with Hall Master Lin, how about you just skip going to the Domain City and directly join Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.” Igor could not help saying, “Obsidian Martial Arts Hall not only has methods to cultivate Blood Condensation Realm, but also such martial skills. If you reach Blood Condensation Realm in the future and then master this kind of martial skill, even the current City Lord might not be your match. By then, you could completely lead our race to establish a city that belongs only to us.”
He knew that his sister Dona could now get into Domain City, but he also knew that her talent would not be anything special there. It would already be good if she could achieve Blood Condensation Realm in the future.
An ordinary Blood Condensing Realm Master could at most take over as the current City Lord of Wanxing City, jointly managing Wanxing City with multiple races. Yet the old City Lord was formidable; with Wanxing City’s human resources and Dona’s help, there was every chance in a remote area to build a city belonging solely to themselves and thereby control the full resources of a city.
This was also every City Lord’s dream. After all, paying so much Energy Blood Essence to Domain City every year pained any City Lord, but none had the strength or confidence to set up their own independent domain.
If Dona joined Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, achieved Blood Condensation Realm, and mastered such martial skills, then she could completely build, alone, in some remote area, a city belonging solely to their race. It would be hard work, but the resources gained and future prospects would be clearly better than joining Domain City.
“Directly join Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?” Dona gazed at Fang Zhen in midair, somewhat moved.
Joining Obsidian Martial Arts Hall before would have been one thing, but now it was completely different. Obsidian Martial Arts Hall not only had methods to cultivate Blood Condensation Realm, but also possessed such martial skills. It truly was a very good choice.
And at this moment, it was not only Dona who felt tempted. Many Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists from various cities present, especially the younger ones, were also stirred by what they saw.
“This Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is so strong! It is far more powerful than the rumors.”
“No wonder they say Northern Grey Robe and Southern Skull. It really lives up to its name. I’ve decided to apply to Northern Grey Robe this year.”
“Advanced Martial Artists can already use Levitation. I am definitely joining Northern Grey Robe!”
A group of young people who had come along with their city teams looked at the overwhelmingly powerful Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and could not help giving rise to the desire to join Northern Grey Robe, dreaming that in the future they could be like Fang Zhen, blowing up a Sky Battleship with a single blast. It was simply too exhilarating.
But before these youths could stay excited for long, thousands of figures suddenly leapt out from the broken Sky Battleship, with a dozen Blood Condensation Realm Masters floating in the air at the lead.
Although these Blood Condensation Realm Masters did not deliberately release their qi and blood, the gathered qi and blood of more than ten Blood Condensation Realm Masters directly crushed everything in the surroundings. Even Beginner Level and Intermediate Level Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists could not move, one after another dropping prone to the ground. The young men and women from the various cities, who had been excited just moments before, also quieted down, not even daring to breathe loudly.
They had been too busy being excited and had completely forgotten that there were more than ten Blood Condensation Realm Masters aboard the battleship. Those masters were the pinnacles of a city, each capable of defending an entire city alone.
Gathered together like this, they were more than enough to destroy a city, let alone a small town.
“So they all dodged after all?”
Fang Zhen looked at the Blood Condensation Realm Masters who had not been hit, feeling a slight regret.
Though his Super Electromagnetic Cannon Type 2 Modified move was indeed terrifyingly powerful, its weakness was the same as the ordinary Coilgun: the attack was too easy to anticipate, and the accuracy was poor. It might be fine against Bone Forging Realm opponents, but up against Blood Condensation Realm Martial Artists, whose reactions were extremely fast and who could directly grasp their sixth sense, it was too hard to land a hit unless at extremely close range.
“What an Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. To actually cultivate so many loyal people like you, I will fulfill you all!”
“Kill! Leave no one from Obsidian Martial Arts Hall alive!”
Beastmaster Kalad, who had walked out from the battleship, looked at Fang Zhen in midair with an icy face. Though there was a trace of dread in his eyes, as he had almost died just now, under his fury that trace of dread quickly vanished, leaving only rage at the destruction of the Sky Battleship.
Fang Zhen killing several hundred Bone Forging Realm Experts in one move was no big deal. This operation depended on the Blood Condensation Realm; the Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists were only there to bolster the show of force.
But the destruction of a C6-grade Large Sky Battleship was a responsibility even he could not bear.
The only option now was to wipe out everyone from Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and seize all the Guard Robots.
“Sigh, in the end, it still comes down to us making a move.”
Floating in midair, the Blood-stained General Meliya, covered in red hair, looked at Fang Zhen and the others and could not help sighing. Very reluctantly, she drew the dark-golden spear from her back.
The moment the spear was drawn, the surrounding temperature rose by dozens of degrees. An indescribable scorching heat spread out for hundreds of meters, making both the immobilized Martial Artists and the Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists feel as if their skin was burning. Their brows furrowed in pain, wishing they had more legs to run away. Those whose strength was only at the martial artist level continuously let out miserable screams, their cries echoing across half of Chiyue Town.
In just two or three breaths, both the distant spectators and the players in midair saw an unbelievable scene.
Those Martial Artists on the ground within five hundred meters of the Blood-stained General Meliya turned into blood-soaked figures, their skin cracked and veins bulging. Yet the blood they shed quickly evaporated. In less than five seconds, flames burst from their bodies, and they became charred corpses.
The sight made all onlookers involuntarily draw cold breaths.
The Blood-stained General Meliya had merely taken out her weapon, and all Martial Artists within a five-hundred-meter radius had been burned to death. Such a bizarre scene was unheard of.
“So that is the famed top-quality Tier 3 Weapon, the Scorching Dragon Spear?” Hu Lei, City Lord of Star Tower City, looked at the dark-golden spear in Meliya’s hand with repeated exclamations, and when he turned his gaze to the players of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, there was a slight sigh in his eyes.
Although the Blood-stained General Meliya was only a Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level Martial Artist, her strength within the Mercenary Alliance was widely recognized as being in the top five, and the Tier 3 Weapon, the Scorching Dragon Spear, in her hand was her famed weapon.
Once a weapon reached Tier 3 quality, it could produce various effects when driven by qi and blood, and Tier 3 Weapons were subdivided into normal, fine, and top-quality grades, with the effects becoming stronger at each level.
It was very rare for an ordinary Initial Stage Blood Coagulation expert to wield a Tier 3 Weapon. Even many City Lords did not possess one.
Hu Lei had roamed ruins and only by luck obtained a normal Tier 3 Weapon. Yet the Blood-stained General Meliya’s Scorching Dragon Spear was a fine-grade Tier 3 Weapon, forged from the spine of a Catastrophe Grade lava Earth Dragon. Once qi and blood powered it, it could continuously burn everything around, and burning an opponent’s qi and blood was what it did best. Anyone who fought a prolonged battle with the Blood-stained General Meliya would be burned to death as their qi and blood were consumed.
Because of this, the Blood-stained General Meliya never feared group battles. Alone, she could fight an army of thousands. She had once been hired to wipe out a city in a remote region by herself, where the blaze burned for ten days and nights without going out, earning her the title of Blood-stained General.
If Earth Star Pharmaceuticals had not hired the Blood-stained General Meliya this time, but some other Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level expert, Obsidian Martial Arts Hall might still have had a chance. But facing the Blood-stained General Meliya, Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s fearless group assault was nothing but a joke.
At the same time, when the Blood-stained General Meliya drew the dark-golden spear in midair, the Three-eyed Tribe man beside her, with tricolored heterochromatic eyes, also took out a pitch-black War Hammer made of some kind of bone.
As soon as the War Hammer appeared, a wave of air surged, and the wind it raised directly isolated the scorching heat in the air, leaving the Scorching Dragon Spear’s blaze unable to affect it in the slightest.
“If you don’t want to make a move, that’s fine. Just give me your share.” The Sky Eye Tyrant looked at the players, licking his lips in excitement. “It has been a long time since I have encountered such an interesting group of Bone Forging Realm experts. These people are perfect for warming up, but there are a bit too many, so I need to screen them first.”
With that, the Sky Eye Tyrant swung the War Hammer in his hand down toward the air.
Boom!
In that instant, they saw the air within several kilometers frantically converge onto the War Hammer in the Sky Eye Tyrant’s hand, condensing in just a few seconds into a storm hammer hundreds of meters long, which then swept toward the players.
As the Sky Eye Tyrant’s hammer swung, both the sky and the earth seemed to be lifted.
From afar, it looked as if the ground was rising. Buildings within a thousand meters were hurled into the sky, along with the Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists who had been lying there, unable to move. They were flung into the air, screaming continuously, blood spurting visibly from all over their bodies, as if sliced by countless tiny blades, and very soon they died.
This move was also the Sky Eye Tyrant’s signature technique.
Sequence Transcendent Martial Skill, Third Level, Heaven’s Wrath.
“So this is the true power of a Blood Condensation Realm expert?”
In front of the auction venue, Wu Zhuoqun watched this scene, his heart shaking violently, even giving rise to a sense of despair.
He had seen the City Lord strike down monsters in the City Guard before, but compared to the Blood-stained General Meliya and the Sky Eye Tyrant before him, the gap was like heaven and earth.
If City Lord Di Luoya’s strength only felt overwhelmingly powerful, then the Blood-stained General Meliya and the Sky Eye Tyrant now felt like forces of nature, calamities that human power could not hope to resist.
Faced with such power, he did not even dare think of resistance.
As the storm that had lifted the earth was about to swallow the players, Lu Fanchen suddenly shot out from the crowd, his life force surging sharply. In his Transcendent State, his physical fitness reached Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level, with strength exceeding 90 tons. Facing the overwhelming storm, Lu Fanchen merely raised his hand.
In an instant, everyone present witnessed an unbelievable scene.
A phantom over a hundred meters tall appeared around Lu Fanchen, but this phantom was not a single whole. Instead, it was composed of many massive spheres, rotating and interchanging. Their speed was so great that space itself seemed to twist.
“Star Burst!”
Lu Fanchen then struck toward the storm with his palm, and the condensed colossal phantom also crashed down upon the oncoming storm.
This move was a martial skill Lu Fanchen had created during this period by using the Stellar Explosion Meditation Technique, guided by his Qi and Blood Phantom.
Extreme Super-Class Martial Skill, Star Burst.
Boom!
The constantly rotating, interchanging phantom collided with the storm, producing a roar like clashing metal. The two forces repeatedly struck each other, as if engaged in a contest of internal force, battling evenly in midair.
“What kind of martial skill is this, to actually fight the Sky Eye Tyrant’s Heaven’s Wrath to a standstill?” Precia watched the stalemate from afar, deeply shocked.
In the major powers of the Wushan Region, almost no one did not know of the Sky Eye Tyrant. There were many records of him in Domain City as well.
One could say the Sky Eye Tyrant was a humanoid calamity.
Even if she reached Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level in the future, she would not dare claim she could defeat the Sky Eye Tyrant. Yet that Grey-robed Disciple from Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, relying on Bone Forging Realm Intermediate Level strength, had forcibly blocked the Sky Eye Tyrant’s full-strength strike. It was simply unbelievable.
“What a pity.” Xie Feina looked at Lu Fanchen, who had stepped in to block, full of regret. “If that Grey-robed Disciple were just a bit stronger, with a bit more qi and blood, he might be able to fight the Sky Eye Tyrant to a draw. Right now, while his burst of power is not weaker than the Sky Eye Tyrant’s, he falls short in qi and blood. At most, he can hold on for a few more seconds before he is killed when his qi and blood are exhausted…”
It was indeed astonishing, even shocking, that such an outstanding disciple had emerged from Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
But the gap in realms was not so easy to bridge, especially since the Sky Eye Tyrant was no ordinary Blood Condensation Realm Intermediate Level expert, but a master who could battle High-level Blood Condensation Realm Martial Artists.
In the center of the battlefield, things gradually unfolded just as Xie Feina had said. The terrifying storm of internal force finally pressed down the Qi and Blood Phantom.
“Kid, you’re impressive. You are the first Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist who can fight me like this. Do you have any last words? I might even help you fulfill them.” The Sky Eye Tyrant looked at Lu Fanchen, who could still resist, and spoke in clumsy human language with a smile.
“Last words?” Lu Fanchen thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted boldly, “I bare my blade and laugh at the sky, with loyal heart I face Kunlun, whether I stay or go!”
“???” The Sky Eye Tyrant was baffled, not understanding what Lu Fanchen meant. Was that some kind of new human language?
But as soon as Lu Fanchen finished speaking, he channeled all his qi and blood into the phantom, further accelerating its rotation and interchange, causing the phantom to rapidly shrink.
One hundred and thirty meters… one hundred meters… fifty meters…
The phantom shrank to less than ten meters tall in the span of a single breath.
“For the sake of the Master of the Pavilion, please die!”
“Detonate!”
