Chapter 361: Chapter 360: An Eye for an Eye
Three figures, all moving like the wind and electricity.
Legendary Martial Skills can grant someone invincible power within the same realm.
And Supreme Level Techniques can enable a person to fight across realms.
Supreme Level Techniques, undoubtedly, are even more formidable... if not for the immense gap between the Profound Realm and Upper Realm Returning to the Origin, for Han Yun City and Xu Lingjun, fighting across realms would truly be a commonplace event.
Now, even facing someone like Guiyuan Grandmaster Zhou Qianmo.
Perhaps in terms of sheer power there’s still a gap, but keeping up with his speed is really not a tough task.
Xu Lingjun fled at the forefront, Zhou Qianmo pursued with all his might, and behind them, Han Yun City continually launched deadly strikes, desperately trying to cause trouble for Zhou Qianmo.
He’s now in his strongest state, Blood Qi is surging around him.
His hair stands on end, crimson seeps from the roots, making him look like a blood man.
His power has surged beyond 200%, and if he strikes with full force, even Zhou Qianmo can no longer ignore him, dodging his attacks now required considerable effort, which also explains why he couldn’t catch up to Xu Lingjun.
Zhou Qianmo actually contemplated whether he should seize the opportunity to first kill Han Yun City, as this chance is indeed too rare, hard to resist the urge when Han Yun City willingly presents himself, it felt like not killing him would be a waste of his gesture.
But who would have thought these two seemed completely unrelated, so when Zhou Qianmo attempted to turn back, confident that he could slay Han Yun City within a few breaths.
Yet Xu Lingjun’s actions didn’t stop for a second, clearly indifferent to Han Yun City’s life or death.
And his speed was incredibly fast, in just a few breaths, he was nearly out of sight...
Helplessly, Zhou Qianmo could only ignore Han Yun City behind him, desperately pursuing forward. Even if he knew there was a trap ahead, he had full confidence that with his own strength, he could definitely evade, even if caught amidst thousands of troops.
Just needed to be cautious of the small, luminous weapon...
The three accelerated even faster.
Until the figures ahead started to fade, arriving at a very desolate place.
Xu Lingjun finally stopped, without looking back, coldly said, "This is the resting place I’ve prepared for you, Zhou Qianmo!"
Zhou Qianmo didn’t respond.
In this place, strong enemies surrounded him from all sides.
These two little dogs were not even worth his consideration, but if he delayed too long and alerted the true masters of the Imperial Capital, it would be hard to escape.
The more advantages he had, the less he could allow the enemy a moment to breathe.
He hadn’t yet arrived, as he struck a palm straight towards Xu Lingjun in front of him.
The fierce sword aura, mixed with grand and wild energy, powerful enough to rival any high-tech thermal energy weapon.
Xu Lingjun had just dodged swiftly...
Facing Han Yun City, who had already charged close.
The toughness of the palm surpassed any divine weapon, transforming the palm into a blade, directly cleaving towards Xu Lingjun’s head at close range, while the other hand reached for the bag in Xu Lingjun’s hand.
First save the person... saving the bones is the priority.
Yet Xu Lingjun’s reaction was unexpectedly out of ordinary.
He didn’t retreat but instead seized the opportunity to rush within three feet of Zhou Qianmo’s body, evading the sword aura attack at the last moment, and turning defense into offense, dodging the dense blade aura and striking at Zhou Qianmo’s critical spot.
"What?"
This time Zhou Qianmo couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, secretly amazed that this person could so easily perceive his weaknesses.
After only two or three exchanges.
He couldn’t gain the slightest advantage, let alone reclaim his grandson’s remains, not even achieve an upper hand.
It was as if his moves had been completely seen through, even in surprise, he nearly got injured by Xu Lingjun...
Just two or three months passed.
But Xu Lingjun before him seemed like a different person, his moves without any pattern, as if transformed, but his erratic fighting style always aimed precisely at the weaknesses of Zhou Qianmo’s techniques.
However, Zhou Qianmo was experienced, within two or three exchanges, he had already grasped the mystery within.
"All show, no substance!"
Even though both hands were restrained, Zhou Qianmo simply exerted his power, and Xu Lingjun, who had been exploiting Zhou Qianmo’s weaknesses, was suddenly struck as if by thunder, stumbling backward.
Pursuing flair to the extreme, ended up overlooking the lack of absolute power, this kid apart from many trump cards, his own strength was trivial.
Zhou Qianmo’s attention largely remained focused on Xu Lingjun, guarding against him pulling out that peculiar weapon again.
He quickly bent down, picking up his grandson’s remains.
But upon lowering his gaze for a quick scan, his pupils uncontrollably contracted sharply.
A gray shadow came rushing toward their eyes.
Suddenly, a gray snake darted out from the middle of that white bone, its speed almost beyond belief... In the blink of an eye, it was already wrapped around Zhou Qianmo.
Binding him tightly and securely.
"Hahaha, you fell for it!"
Xu Lingjun laughed triumphantly, pulling out a palm-sized weapon from behind him, which turned out to be the Spark Prism. It began to gleam, and he lunged towards Zhou Qianmo.
Clearly intending to finish it off in one fell swoop!
Meanwhile...
Han Yun City also finally attacked.
Seeing Zhou Qianmo bound, he also laughed loudly: "Kill Sun Qingrou, you probably didn’t expect to die under her husband’s whip in the end, right? This is truly a payback."
With a grasp of his palm.
All the Blood Qi around him gathered within his palm, transforming into a sharp and unparalleled long spear, which slashed straight at Zhou Qianmo’s head.
In just a moment, checkmate!!!
A life-and-death dilemma.
Yet Zhou Qianmo showed a cold smile, unable to suppress a sigh of relief in his heart. These two, seeing themselves having the upper hand, were completely oblivious, but the more they talk, the easier it is to reveal weaknesses.
Unfortunately... as enemies, I can’t be bothered to teach you these principles!
Struggling hard but unable to escape the long rope’s confinement, seeing Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City draw near.
The light on the Spark Prism on Xu Lingjun’s hand had grown brighter.
Zhou Qianmo suddenly remained still, a series of sharp sounds resounded around him. An endless Blade Qi flowed along with the ominous aura; he directly released Blade Qi from his own body... the long rope that had bound him was instantly sliced to pieces.
Facing the two who were close at hand.
He reversed his grip and slashed first at Xu Lingjun; the fierce and domineering blade aura was unmatched, elusive as a hornless antelope hanging on a branch. It was so swift that even Xu Lingjun couldn’t react, and his right arm holding the Spark Prism was severed and fell to the ground.
He reversed his grip again and plunged a blade into Xu Lingjun’s chest, piercing his heart.
Though Han Yun City wasn’t the primary target, he too had no chance to resist Zhou Qianmo. The Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique erupted fully; the boundless Blade Qi attacked like relentless waves, completely shattering the Blood Qi.
As the Qi Blood dispersed.
A hand emerged from within the Blood Qi, directly grasping Han Yun City’s neck, lifting him high.
In just moments, the tide of life and death reversed.
Zhou Qianmo finally felt at ease and sneered, "A good plan it was, but...you are still too young..."
Before he could finish speaking.
A gray shadow flashed by, its speed was so astonishing that even Zhou Qianmo paused for a moment.
He dodged swiftly...
Yet three marks already appeared across his neck, had his movements been slightly slower, he would have been slit around the throat.
"So it was, this was your trump card!"
Zhou Qianmo’s gaze shifted to Han Yun City, who suddenly sprouted a pair of wings like Iron Wings and couldn’t help but sneer, "A mongrel is still a mongrel; looks nothing like a human..."
Seeing Han Yun City’s defiant eyes.
Zhou Qianmo’s eyes narrowed, and he shook his hand vigorously. A sound of bones breaking echoed as Han Yun City’s frame seemingly had numerous bones broken, rendering his fierce resistance instantly limp.
Zhou Qianmo wanted to withdraw his hand from Xu Lingjun’s chest, intending to claim Han Yun City’s life.
But just as he moved, he sensed something unusual.
He couldn’t help but look back at Xu Lingjun.
He discovered the armor that gleamed with metallic luster, and its eyes flickered uncertainly. With a bang, steel claws sprouted from its feet, deeply rooted in the ground beneath.
And countless iron chains extended from the chest he had pierced, winding around his arm.
At the same time.
From behind Zhou Qianmo.
A shadow, hidden in wait for who knows how long, raised a hand resting against Zhou Qianmo’s back.
The next moment...
A blazing light erupted, like a boundless flood that engulfed Zhou Qianmo!
