Chapter 145: Chapter 85: Tortoise Breath Water Arrow! Fierce Tiger Rips Corpse!_2
Li Lie, as a Deputy Hall Leader of the Giant Whale Gang, had stepped into the Qi-Blood Realm many years ago, and the vigor of his Qi and Blood was formidable—not a mere Qi Blood One Transformation, but at least a successful completion of two, or even three Blood Refinings within the Qi-Blood Realm!
He was by far stronger than the Black Lotus Sect’s fragrance master, Liu Bairen, whom Su Changkong had previously encountered!
“Bang!”
The next second, an arrow of Turtle Breathing True Qi condensed and shot through the Qi-Blood Veil, striking Li Lie’s arms held defensively in front of his chest, emitting a muffled explosion like a torpedo detonation. The robust True Qi impact raged wildly, just like a Shock Wave Beach Assault.
“Thud thud thud!”
Immediately, a bone-deep pain surged through his arms accompanied by a faint sound of cracking bones, and Li Lie staggered uncontrollably backward. He was pushed back three steps by the force of the impact, each step creating a deep footprint where he trod.
“How… how is this possible? This kid has such strength? Isn’t he an Alchemist?”
Arms aching unbearably, Li Lie’s heart was filled with disbelief. In his eyes, as well as in the eyes of all the martial artists of the Giant Whale Gang, Su Changkong was simply a humble, polite Alchemist who spent his days immersed in the Pill Refining Room, diligently practicing Alchemy.
Even if he had practiced martial arts in the past, at his age, it would be quite good if he had achieved a level of Internal Strength or Divine Power. Such power would be considered skilled in the outside world, but within the Giant Whale Gang, it was merely mediocre. However, Su Changkong, who Li Lie thought could be easily crushed, had suddenly transformed into a ferocious tiger—wounding him with just one exchange!
Five Animal Frolics, Foraging Tiger!
“Roar!”
Breathing out as if shooting arrows, Su Changkong took the initiative after repelling Li Lie. With a stomp on the ground, his Qi and Blood surged vigorously, creating a crimson Qi-Blood Veil. His towering stature resembled a bloodthirsty crimson tiger. Although no sound was actually made, a thunderous tiger roar seemed to explode right next to Li Lie’s ears, making his mind tremble violently!
Having stepped into the Transcendental Level of the Eight Realms Five Animal Frolics, very few people had managed to cultivate it to such an extent!
In a fight between martial artists, momentum was crucial. Once one side’s momentum was suppressed, the other would inevitably gain an overwhelming advantage. Su Changkong had already thoroughly dominated Li Lie in this respect.
Boom!
Su Changkong lunged forward, his fists wrapped in a blood-red mist, striking like ferocious tiger claws, powerful enough to shatter rocks!
Fighting through the bone-cracking pain in his arms, Li Lie mustered his strength to fight back with his fists. Having refined his blood twice, he was a martial artist capable of fighting a hundred men!
“Bang!”
Their fists collided, and in terms of Physique alone, Li Lie, who had undergone Blood Refining twice, was slightly stronger than Su Changkong. But with his arms wounded by Su Changkong’s single Turtle Breathing True Qi arrow and facing Su Changkong’s fierce and unbridled Tiger Play, Li Lie couldn’t help but feel weaker. Amidst the explosive sounds, the resulting shockwave of the collision sent nearby leaves flying and tearing into pieces.
“Crack crack!”
Li Lie was once again blown backwards, with the sound of bones fracturing. The fissures in his arm bones grew larger, causing such pain that his vision darkened, and he was completely dominated by Su Changkong.
Su Changkong’s figure flickered, like a tiger leaping across a ravine, giving Li Lie no chance to catch his breath. With his Qi and Blood boiling, his punches were fierce and domineering. Along with his Bird Play Footwork, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
“Bang bang bang!”
Li Lie could only defend himself desperately, managing to sustain several heavy punches from Su Changkong. His arms became numb; due to the urgent mobilization of his Qi and Blood and the external pressure, his arms’ skin burst open with cracks, bleeding profusely.
“How… how could I not be a match for a youngster?” Li Lie struggled to hold on, unable to accept the reality. Nearly forty years old and having undergone Blood Refining twice, he couldn’t even fight back against Su Changkong!
“Bang!”
At the moment Li Lie’s mind was filled with terror, Su Changkong seized the opening, his right fist piercing the clouds and the fog, furiously hammering Li Lie’s chest.
“Crack!”
Blood spurted from Li Lie’s mouth as his chest caved in, and he was flung two to three zhang away like a broken sack, landing heavily on the ground. He coughed up blood mixed with fragments of his innards, struggling to rise but unable to sense his arms.
“Li Lie, you said you wanted me to die more miserably than Gong Zheng?” Su Changkong looked at the struggling, trembling figure of Li Lie on the ground and spoke with a false smile, “You know… I was very close to slapping you dead on the spot when you, like an annoying mosquito buzzing in my ear, threatened me while I was holding back!”
In Su Changkong’s eyes, Li Lie was only slightly better than Liu Bairen. However, twice Li Lie had intruded into his room during his cultivation, arrogantly threatening him. Even with Su Changkong’s temperament, he had almost lost control and immediately slapped him dead.
“You… you can’t kill me… it’s the Deputy Gang Leader… he… he made me do it…”
Blood-soaked hair stuck to Li Lie’s face. He wailed in panic, stripped of his earlier bravado of making Su Changkong die an even more wretched death than Gong Zheng!
“You killed Gong Zheng, so I will let you experience the pain he felt before death!” Su Changkong said indifferently, stepping closer to Li Lie.
“No… don’t! Help!”
The murderous intent and chill in Su Changkong’s eyes filled Li Lie with fear as he struggled to crawl away, trying to escape. But Su Changkong stepped on his spine and grabbed his head with both hands, pulling harshly!
“Rip!”
Li Lie’s scream was abruptly cut off as the flesh and bones of his neck tore apart, and Su Changkong brutally tore off his head.
Blood trickled down incessantly, and Li Lie’s eyes still held onto the agony and terror.
“Master Gong, I have repaid your kindness and avenged you,” Su Changkong said, glancing at the head in his hand and sighing.
