There was no way to avoid this anymore.
If it didn’t work this time, Luo Tian no longer had a chance to level up again.
In addition to Wu Sha’s powerful oppressive pressure, he couldn’t even detect Wu Sha’s figure. The gap in the cultivation realms between them was so large that it was like heaven and earth.
As Wu Sha had said, he could completely ignore the threat of a person at the Condensation Element 7th rank.
But Luo Tian was a person who didn’t admit defeat that easily.
Even in the face of powerful enemies, he would never admit defeat. Back then, when he was suppressed by the laws of fate on the Tianxuan Continent, he did not bow his head at all. So, in the face of Wu Sha, who was even stronger than Hai Yulong, Luo Tian still refused to admit defeat.
“Divine Explosion!”
“Ommm~!”
When Divine Explosion was activated, all his attributes doubled, and even the damage of his martial skills doubled.
Under the enhancement of Divine Explosion, Luo Tian’s spiritual senses finally detect Wu Sha’s figure. He could only say in shock to himself, “Holy shit! So fast!”
Luo Tian quickly retreated.
At the same time, a system alert tone went off.
“Ding!”
“Target locked!”
“Good!” Luo Tian smiled in joy.
Once he saw Wu Sha’s figure, he immediately locked onto him with God Flame.
Luo Tian stabilized himself and stood still. He raised the Heaven Sword to a suitable stance, causing it to make ringing sounds. He was waiting for Wu Sha to get closer.
“Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps, almost there…”
“God Flame!”
“I’m relying on you!”
Under the enhancement of Divine Explosion, the attributes of God Flame also doubled.
In theory, the chance of a God Flame killing an enemy in this situation was 10%, which was twice than before. This kind of success rate was considered quite high already. It would be incredibly awesome if he could actually instantly kill Wu Sha, but Luo Tian wasn’t going to put all his eggs in one basket.
What will he do if the instant kill effect isn’t triggered?
He had already made all the preparations. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Wu Sha get so close to him in the first place.
“That should be close enough.”
Wu Sha made a sudden burst of speed as he punched toward Luo Tian’s head. He harrumphed, “Damn dog thing! Let’s see where you can run off to this time!”
“Explosive Punch!”
“Shatter into ten thousand pieces! Hahaha…”
As the fist approached, a powerful force could be sensed coming from it. If anyone was punched by this, most likely, their body would be blown up into many tiny pieces.
The surrounding disciples from the four great families became excited.
“Explosive Punch?”
“Isn’t that a spirit grade martial skill? Hahaha… Boss Wu is truly Boss Wu. Once he makes a move, it’s already a spirit grade ability. Even if Luo Tian has ten thousand lives, they will all be blown into powder. Let’s see if he can act arrogant then!”
“I’ve heard that Explosive Punch is a very violent fist art, where anyone struck would explode into chunks of meat. Do we need to move back a bit?”
“Yeah, let’s back up.”
“Hahaha, Luo Tian, you are going to die!”
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
“Hubby!”
Bai Xiong and Lin Dong were struggling to get free, but their hands and feet were bound. It was useless, however hard they tried. They watched as Wu Sha’s fist was only half a meter away from Luo Tian. At such a close distance, it was impossible to dodge the Explosive Punch.
With the close distance and their cultivation gap, Luo Tian had no chance.
Luo Tian was definitely going to be blown into bits and pieces!
However, Luo Tian was calm and collected, not the slightest bit flustered. He watched Wu Sha appear from the void and smiled confidently, “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“God Flame!”
“Blast him!”
He raised his palm, and a ball of fire shot out.
“Humph~!”
“How can such a weak fire injure me? This attack can’t even harm a hair on me!” Wu Sha sneered. He didn’t even try to dodge because he was certain this fireball couldn’t harm him at all.
“Are you sure?” Luo Tian grinned.
In a blink of an eye, Explosive Punch met God Flame.
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
There were two loud explosions before a powerful energy rippled outward.
Luo Tian tensed up and prayed internally, “Please let the instant kill trigger!”
There was no system alert after, so this meant God Flame’s instant kill ability didn’t trigger. In other words, God Flame had only interrupted Wu Sha’s Explosive Punch.
Since he had already prepared for this, Luo Tian immediately started his next move after sending out God Flame. Two fists struck out, “Mountain River Fist, level three!”
“The weight of a mountain!”
“Boom~!”
“Bang~, bang~”
The two punches landed on Wu Sha’s chest. When Wu Sha’s martial skill was interrupted, he was momentarily stunned, and he couldn’t react fast enough. He was still trying to figure out what just happened and how it could happen.
Even though his cultivation was much higher than that of Luo Tian’s, he still didn’t have time to react because he was so confused.
Pain shot through his chest, and his figure was sent several steps backward.
Wu Sha frowned because as he was sent backward, both of his arms were caught in claw-like grips.
“Wolf King’s Claw!”
“Get back here!”
The cooldown for Mountain River Fist was over, so Luo Tian used another one. “The weight of a mountain! Rupture him!”
The two punches accurately slammed into the same position as before, causing Wu Sha’s chest to sink in and him to scream out in pain. He then roared loudly, “Luo Tian! You damn dog…”
Before Wu Sha could finish his sentence, Luo Tian ignored him and said internally, “Shoulder Dash!”
“Whoosh~!”
His figure slid in a straight line right back to in front of Wu Sha. Luo Tian then grinned ferociously before saying, “You want to leave when it’s not even over yet? Lie down for me!”
“Mountain River Fist!”
“Bang~, bang~!”
Two more punches were thrown, still hitting the same location. Wu Sha’s chest bones were shattered, and trickles of blood seeped out, staining his clothes. Even Wu Sha, with his high cultivation, was unable to withstand the three consecutive Mountain River Fists in the same spot.
“That’s the eighth combo strike! Hahaha, Boss is too strong! Even when dealing with such a terrifying opponent like Wu Sha, the boss was able to hit him eight consecutive times. Too strong!”
“Huh? It looks like it’s not over yet.”
Bai Xiong’s eyes were filled with worship and excitement. When he watched Luo Tian do those combo strikes, it seemed like he was the one doing them.
Just as Bai Xiong said, it wasn’t over yet.
When they’re ill, you go for the kill. This saying was something Luo Tian practiced on an everyday basis.
Wu Sha was now a little disoriented by his attacks, so Luo Tian had to do everything possible to kill him. If he were to give Wu Sha the chance to fight back, he would be the one who ends up dying.
After using Mountain River Fist, Luo Tian lowered his right hand and summoned out Heaven Sword. Under the enhancement of Divine Explosion, he shouted, “Vajra Sword Technique!”
“Buddha’s Fury!”
“Restrain him!”
“Roar~!”
An invisible Vajra Ape descended. With Divine Explosion magnifying its powers, it roared with the strength like it could rip anything apart. Its butt directly landed on Wu Sha’s head, instantly restraining his movement.
Luo Tian gripped the handle of his sword with both hands before swinging it with all his Vajra power-infused might.
“Die for me!”
“Whoosh~!”
The Heaven Sword cut through the atmosphere with the full might and ferocity it possessed, slashing straight for the center of Wu Sha’s brow.
“Boom~!”
“The ninth combo, finishing blow!”
Luo Tian’s face was a bit pale after slashing out with his sword. The depletion of his yuan energy was too fast due to his constant use of martial skills, so his body couldn’t withstand the repeated drain.
After slashing down, Luo Tian then suddenly retreated a few steps back.
There was dust all over the area, blurring one’s vision and making it difficult to see what had happened to Wu Sha.
But Luo Tian was clear the guy wasn’t dead yet because his system didn’t give him an alert message.
Just this alone spoke volumes.
Luo Tian had a bad feeling, “Not good…”
If he hadn’t depleted his yuan energy so quickly, causing his body to be unable to withstand it, he would have given that fucker another few more punches. But since his body was in a state of exhaustion, he wouldn’t be able to bring out the full power of his Mountain River Fist anyway.
Luo Tian had to rest for a bit, even if it was just for a few seconds.
But a few seconds for a martial artist in the Ancient World was a long time.
“Hahaha…”
“Boss is mighty!”
“Boss is domineering!”
“So what if he’s Wu Sha? He was still crushed by my boss! Hahaha… Let’s see if the four great families dare to compete for supremacy! I want to see Ao Sheng’s face when he sees us coming out of the spatial world. It will probably be uglier than him eating shit. I can’t wait to see it!”
“Hahaha…”
Bai Xiong and Lin Dong were in joy.
It was the same for Bai Lingling.
After personally seeing Wu Sha being crushed by Luo Tian with their own eyes and him being slashed by Luo Tian’s sword, they felt that there was no way for Wu Sha to avoid that strike. Since the sword in Luo Tian’s hands had such an incredibly powerful murderous aura, they felt it could definitely kill Wu Sha.
The disciples of the four great families had ugly expressions on their faces.
There were even some people slowly backing away, afraid that Luo Tian would start killing them.
At this time, Luo Tian furrowed his brow and said, “Ling’er, back up. The further away, the better.”
Bai Lingling was a bit confused and asked, “Why? Isn’t that person…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the dust dispersed, and Wu Sha was seen standing in the same place as before. His face was distorted like a hideous demon, with blood flowing lightly from the center of his eyebrows to the side of his cheek.
This made him look even more ferocious and intimidating.
“Hahaha…”
“Hahaha…”
After laughing, Wu Sha said in a sinister voice, “I really can’t believe it. You, a low-level martial artist at the Condensation Element realm, can actually explode forth with such great strength. You can even do consecutive strikes. The connection of those strikes was simply perfect without any flaws. Even the high-level combat masters of the Hai family can’t do it. I can’t believe you can do it, especially with the low grade martial skills of yours.”
In the process of speaking, he was slowly walking forward away from the dust cloud.
There was a faint golden glow seen from the wound between his brow. It looked like some type of gold material reflecting the sun’s light.
The moment Heaven Sword made contact, Luo Tian felt his hand go numb. It didn’t feel like he had slashed a person’s skull but a thick steel plate. At that time, Luo Tian didn’t think too much about it. But now, his heart sank as he said to himself, “This guy’s skull is not normal…”
Wu Sha was neither fast nor slow, just strolling forward until stopping ten meters away from Luo Tian. He then licked the blood from the side of his mouth before revealing a sinister grin. “I haven’t tasted fresh blood in a very long time. Who would’ve thought that I would be injured in such a place like this? If I didn’t cultivate the Myriad Golden Mantra, perhaps I would have died under your sword strike. It’s such a pity…”
“Luo Tian, it’s such a pity you were missing just a little bit. Otherwise, you would have made history today. And your name would appear in the Poseidon leaderboard.”
“But you have lost that opportunity.”
As his voice faded, Wu Sha completely changed. His body surged with raging flames, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He now looked like a demonic beast that had gone berserk.
Accurately speaking, Wu Sha was indeed in berserk mode.
From time to time, his body would glimmer with golden light, which was due to him cultivating the Myriad Golden Mantra.
His body’s defenses had reached a terrifying level!
“The Myriad Golden Mantra is a sky grade martial skill.”
“I spent a million xuan coins on the black market to buy it. I have cultivated it for three years now, and it’s the strongest trump card I have in my arsenal. I had planned on using this on the next Poseidon ranking tournament, but I never thought I would be using it now on a piece of trash like you. This can also be considered an honor for you.”
After saying that, Wu Sha’s figure disappeared.
He was nowhere to be seen, and even his aura had disappeared.
At this moment, the timer for Divine Explosion was over and went into cooldown.
God Flame was also on cooldown and couldn’t be used.
These were Luo Tian’s two strongest skills. Now that they were both in cooldown, what was he going to use?
He was almost in a desperate situation.
Luo Tian moved his left arm and shouted, “Heavenly Plume Shield, come out!”
“Ommm~!”
A shield appeared in Luo Tian’s hand.
At the same time, Wu Sha’s figure appeared as he shouted, “Even if you have the Heavenly Emperor’s shield, I will still smash you into powder! Luo Tian, you have completely angered me! Go to hell!”
“Explosive Punch!”
“Flaming Exploding Fist!”
Wu Sha’s right fist seemed to turn into a large ball of flame as it smashed into Luo Tian.
Luo Tian frowned before quickly blocking with the Heavenly Plume Shield.
“Ommm~!”
“Boom~!”
The impact sent Luo Tian flying more than ten meters away. He crashed into a large boulder, cracking it into dozens of small pieces. His body was partially embedded into the boulder, and his face pale while he sprayed out several mouthfuls of blood. The bones in the arm used for holding the shield were broken in several places.
Luo Tian’s arms were trembling, and the intense pain made him gasp for air.
The power of that punch was too strong!
If it weren’t for the Heavenly Plume Shield absorbing most of Wu Sha’s power, Luo Tian would have been a corpse by now.
The Heavenly Plume Shield had the ability to rebound the attacker’s power.
However, the rebounding force didn’t cause much harm to Wu Sha. He was still standing tall with a cold sneer on his face. He then said, “I never imagined you would have so many good things in your possession. A sword that is close to a divine grade weapon, and a shield at the sky grade. But, those things will all be mine soon.”
“Hahaha…”
His punch sent Luo Tian flying, and Luo Tian had no ability to counterattack. He was doubled over on the ground, gasping for air. Seeing how disheveled Luo Tian looked, Wu Sha felt an indescribable excitement. The smile on his face and his expression became more arrogant. However, the flames of rage around his body didn’t disappear.
It was still burning strong!
“Boss!”
“Boss…”
Bai Lingling dashed to Luo Tian like a lunatic.
But the disciples of the four great families instantly blocked her path.
One of them chuckled pervertedly, “Big beauty, where do you think you are going? You want to go help your lover? Hahaha… Quit dreaming. He’s about to die, and you are about to be our plaything! Hahaha…”
“You will not have good days ahead of you from following Luo Tian. You do see what is happening to him, right?”
“He dares to oppose the Misty Cloud Academy and the Hai family, the two most powerful forces of the Central Continent. You should know his fate even without having to think about it.”
“Hahaha…”
“Bai Lingling, just become our plaything already. Hahaha…”
The disciples of the four great families couldn’t handle Luo Tian, but they could easily handle Bai Lingling, who was only at the Condensation Element 6th rank. What’s more, Bai Lingling was anxious to save Luo Tian. When she saw that Luo Tian was injured, her thoughts were in a mess, causing her strength to become half of what it normally was.
In less than ten moves, she was captured by the disciples of the four great families.
“Hahaha…”
“Do you guys see how beautiful her small face is? I haven’t seen her for three days, and she’s somehow even more beautiful and charming. I can’t help but fall in love with her!”
“Luo Tian, weren’t you very arrogant just now?”
“Today, I shall do your woman in front of you! Hahaha… You wanted us to sing Conquered? I will make her blow on my flute first, hahaha…”
“Rip~!”
The clothing around Bai Lingling’s shoulder was ripped off, revealing her snow white skin.
“You animal!”
“Don’t touch my sister!”
“Aggghhhh~! You animals! I will not spare any of you!” Bai Xiong roared in anger. He kept struggling but couldn’t get free. The veins on his forehead popped out, and his muscles became larger. His body was starting to resemble a bear now.
Lin Dong was struggling with all his might as well, but they were so tightly bound that they couldn’t get free.
At this time, Wu Sha didn’t go over to kill Luo Tian immediately. He had a playful smile as he chuckled, “Luo Tian, does it feel good to watch your woman being violated in front of you? Hahaha… After your woman is played with, she will die. You two brothers will also die.”
“Hahaha…”
“The so-called silver force, the Bai family in Towering Cloud City, will also disappear from this world forever because you offended the Hai family. The Hai family’s authority is sacred and inviolable on the Central Continent. Hahaha…”
Wu Sha couldn’t help laughing when he saw Luo Tian’s face turn green.
At this moment, two transformation cards were floating in Luo Tian’s mind.
But he suddenly changed his mind and didn’t use them. There was another option that was more entertaining than those transformation cards. Luo Tian stood up straight, looked in Bai Lingling’s direction, and then yelled out, “Fire Qilin, come out!”
Luo Tian then sneered, “Wu Sha, not to mention your Hai family; even if the Heavenly Emperor provokes me, I will fuck him over.”
“The strongest force in the Central Continent? The king level Hai family? Heh heh…”
Luo Tian smiled coldly and continued, “I will fuck over the entire Hai family, so you will definitely meet them in hell later. Hahaha…”
Wu Sha was somewhat dumbstruck.
He didn’t bother with the Fire Qilin, who was currently slaughtering the disciples of the four great families.
The reason was that he had some knowledge that Luo Tian was able to summon the Fire Qilin due to a special martial skill of his and not because he was a sorcerer. He also had knowledge that the Fire Qilin may seem powerful on the surface, but it was a beast that he could instantly kill whenever he wanted.
Therefore, he wasn’t in a rush to take care of the Fire Qilin. Wu Sha looked at Luo Tian with disdain mixed with curiosity, “I really don’t understand where you get your courage from. A person that is about to die still says they are going to fuck over the Hai family? I really don’t understand you at all.”
“Luo Tian, are you unable to comprehend that you’re about to die?”
“Do you somehow think that your Fire Qilin can kill me? If it were back then, perhaps I would be frightened by it. But now, I know your Fire Qilin is only a low-grade beast that a single move of mine can send down to King Yama.”
Wu Sha was really confused about the situation. But when he saw Luo Tian with a confident smile, he couldn’t help feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
This feeling was indescribable.
It was as if he could feel a sense of danger.
Luo Tian smiled and said, “The person who’s about to die isn’t me but you. You may not know it right now, but you will know it very soon.”
“Presumptuous!”
Wu Sha’s expression turned serious as his figure became a blur of afterimages.
Luo Tian’s body suddenly started glowing red, and the sky darkened while also turning blood red. Luo Tian looked up at the sky with devotion in his eyes and said, “Lord Lucifer, please descend upon me!”
