Chapter 241: Gathering – 4
“Li Yun, you will die today!”
The killing intent in Xue Ming’s eyes had already become so dense that it almost seemed tangible, because the more he exchanged blows with Li Yun, the clearer he understood just how terrifying Li Yun’s talent truly was, and the thought that Li Yun could already overpower him while being only at the first level of the Qi Sea Realm made a deep chill rise in his heart.
If Li Yun were allowed to continue growing and reached the third or fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm, then someone like him, who was now at the eighth level, would become nothing more than prey in front of that monstrous talent.
That realization made Xue Ming’s desire to kill Li Yun even stronger.
With a furious roar, he unleashed his full cultivation as his qi surged violently through his meridians, and in the next instant a powerful aura burst outward from his body while the hammer in his hands emitted a deep trembling sound.
At the same time, Xue Ming activated thirty percent Strength Intent.
The moment that intent erupted, the pressure around him increased dramatically as every movement of his body seemed to carry the weight of mountains, and the already terrifying hammer in his grasp became even more frightening as its destructive force multiplied.
The surrounding geniuses felt their expressions change as they sensed the heavy oppressive pressure radiating from him.
“That is thirty percent Strength Intent.”
“Xue Ming is truly going all out now.”
Each of his hammer strikes became incomparably more dangerous than before as he swung again and again, and every blow smashed through the air with violent force, creating shockwaves that spread outward and shattered the stone floor beneath him.
The battlefield trembled continuously under his assault.
However, Li Yun only smiled calmly as he watched Xue Ming’s increasingly desperate attacks, because after only a few exchanges he had already understood Xue Ming’s true level.
Although Xue Ming possessed overwhelming brute force and his Strength Intent amplified every strike to terrifying levels, he was still far from being Li Yun’s equal.
“There is no need to clash directly with him,” Li Yun thought calmly as his eyes remained fixed on Xue Ming, while his mind rapidly weighed every consequence of the battle unfolding before him.
Killing Xue Ming was certainly within his ability, and if he truly chose to go all out, Li Yun was confident that he could end the fight in a decisive strike, but he also understood that this was not the right place to do such a thing.
If he killed Xue Ming here then his chances of entering the tomb would become much less. He definitely didn’t believe that others would allow him to enter the tomb after that.
Moreover, he had a feeling that if he were to truly launch a powerful attack on Xue Ming to kill him, the young woman named Mu Lan with the cultivation of 9th level of Qi Sea Realm would definitely interfere and wouldn’t let him kill him.
Because of this reason, Li Yun could only play with Xue Ming and not actually kill him.
In the next instant, Li Yun activated the middle grade profound rank movement technique, Raging Tiger Wind Art, and his body instantly blurred into motion like a tiger leaping through a violent storm.
His speed rose explosively.
The battlefield was immediately filled with Li Yun’s afterimages as his figure flickered around Xue Ming from every angle, and each movement carried a fierce yet elegant rhythm that made him almost impossible to track.
Xue Ming roared angrily as he swung his hammer repeatedly, but every strike landed only on empty air.
Boom after boom rang out as the street cracked and shattered beneath his attacks, yet Li Yun’s real body could not be touched.
“What kind of movement technique is this?” Xue Ming growled, his face growing darker as frustration mounted.
Li Yun did not answer him.
His expression remained calm and relaxed as he moved effortlessly around Xue Ming, weaving between the hammer strikes with complete ease, and the difference in their combat rhythm became increasingly obvious.
At the same time, Li Yun circulated the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture.
A deep and ancient force spread through every part of his body as his flesh, bones, and muscles were strengthened to an astonishing degree, causing a heavy and powerful aura to radiate from him.
Unlike Xue Ming, who relied on raw destructive force and martial techniques, Li Yun used no flashy offensive art at all.
He relied only on his movement speed and his body.
Only the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture.
Xue Ming’s anger grew even greater when he realized that Li Yun was not even taking him seriously, and with another furious roar he unleashed his strongest killing move.
“Mountain Crushing Eighteen Hammers!”
In an instant, eighteen hammer shadows spread across the battlefield, and with the blessing of thirty percent Strength Intent, each shadow carried enough force to crush stone into dust.
The air itself distorted under the immense pressure as multiple vortices formed between the hammer strikes, sealing off vast sections of the battlefield and leaving almost no room for escape.
This was Xue Ming’s most powerful technique, designed specifically to suppress fast opponents and trap them within an overwhelming barrage.
Yet Li Yun merely narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed the incoming storm of attacks.
Then he moved again.
With Raging Tiger Wind Art, his body flowed through the gaps between the hammer shadows with astonishing precision, moving like a fierce tiger dancing through a violent gale, and every time a hammer strike seemed certain to hit him, he vanished from that spot at the final moment.
Xue Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Even with thirty percent Strength Intent empowering his strongest move, he still could not touch Li Yun.
Before he could recover from the shock, Li Yun suddenly appeared directly in front of him.
There was no sword in his hand.
No martial technique.
Li Yun simply clenched his fist.
The power of the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture surged through his arm as his muscles tightened with explosive force, and then he threw a single punch straight toward Xue Ming’s hammer.
The collision shook the battlefield.
