Chapter 412: Serious Punch (3 Updates)
Su Kexin’s transformation completely refreshed Hu’s understanding of the human species.
Originally, she was just a frail woman, exuding an aura as insignificant as an ant, hardly noticeable unless one paid attention.
But now she had become immensely powerful, so much so that with his successive sword strikes, he couldn’t even touch her. Instead, his long sword was directly severed by Su Kexin.
What terrifying strength! To break his sharp sword not once but repeatedly—utterly insane!
And what was that spirit light around her?
He noticed that Su Kexin was enveloped in three colors of light: blue, silver, and red, intertwining like a divine blessing, possessing an incomprehensible strength.
The silver light was the Spirit Sword, the red light was the searing flame from her Fire Spirit Root, but what was that blue light? Hu couldn’t decipher it.
Yet he felt that her ability to slice through his sword was heavily related to that blue light.
“Are you forcing me to get serious?!”
Hu was thoroughly enraged, channeling all his spirit energy. A whirlwind of water burst forth around him, as if a tornado was sweeping the sea, trapping Su Kexin.
“Die!”
Within the water whirlwind were countless sharp water blades, as lethal as metal blades, coming at Su Kexin from all directions, aimed to chop her into pieces.
However, Su Kexin remained calm, fiercely wielding the Phoenix Sword, shattering the water whirlwind.
In an instant, Hu’s proud water whirlwind was obliterated.
This was completely unbelievable; he was dumbfounded.
One sword strike, and it was gone—no reason at all!
Su Kexin was no longer on the defensive; she launched an active assault, rushing towards Hu, swinging her Spirit Sword. A spirit bird resembling a phoenix flew from the blade, attacking Hu.
Hu clapped his hands together, conjuring a water dragon, its massive mouth gaping wide, rushing towards the incoming fiery red bird.
Yet the red bird effortlessly passed through the water dragon, causing it to evaporate into nothingness!
And the Phoenix Sword fell upon Hu.
With a sword strike, blood splattered; this time, Hu bore a large wound, his blood gushing forth profusely.
As a master of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan, even after taking a few blows from Su Kexin, he wouldn’t die immediately, but those strikes were heavy enough that he felt he couldn’t endure much longer, both his spirit energy and stamina rapidly depleting.
His wound continued to bleed, while Su Kexin was remarkably no longer bleeding, showing no signs of fatigue; the combat had barely affected her.
Hu clutched his wound, resigned. This human had suddenly become incredibly ferocious.
Could she be a spellcaster of the oceanic great formations?
No, she didn’t seem the type; she resembled a warrior on the battlefield.
Unable to win and badly injured, he could only withdraw.
Hu changed his mindset, realizing that preserving his life was more important as he had already suffered significant losses.
Just then, Su Kexin advanced toward him again, prompting him to urgently unleash a wave of spirit energy, resulting in a fierce explosion and thick black smoke.
With the force of the explosion, he quickly left the scene.
“Dammit, what’s with this woman? Could it be I’m further from the ocean, weakening my strength?”
Hu covered his wound, sprinting through the forest, heading back towards the ocean.
He used spirit technique to heal himself a bit; the injury was severe and would take time to mend.
The Sea Domain Dragon Clan had lived in the ocean for years, becoming highly dependent on it, so fighting on land was somewhat uncomfortable for them.
Jumping into the water to further utilize spirit technique to recover before returning for revenge.
Grinding his teeth, Hu thought he had never suffered such severe injuries. He would remember this human, and one day ensure she would wish for death itself!
At that moment, soft footsteps echoed through the woods.
“Who?!”
Hu bellowed. The footsteps were remarkably soft, with no sense of urgency, and he sensed no powerful aura.
Just then, from behind a large tree ahead stepped out a black-haired youth.
His face was expressionless, cold as ice, his deep-set eyes seeming to penetrate the depths of the soul.
Upon seeing him, Hu noted the boy’s aura was very weak, even weaker than that of the woman he had just faced; he lacked any semblance of a strong presence.
“Heh, if you’re planning an ambush, you’re still far from enough. Even injured, I could kill you a hundred times over.”
Hu laughed, feeling justified—having just been struck by that woman, he was eager to vent his anger on this little brat!
“You have no chance of saving yourself. It’s useless to beg; I’m furious right now, and you’re destined to die!”
In response to Hu’s taunts, the boy merely replied coldly:
“You can die.”
“What a tough mouth! Die!”
Furious, Hu opened his left palm, powerful spirit energy swirling within, then unleashed a formidable wave of water.
The boy simply leaped slightly and dodged.
“I told you, you’re absolutely going to die.”
The boy’s voice was icy as a small whirlwind formed around his feet, producing a flurry of leaves and a surge of wind, rushing right at Hu.
His speed was incredibly fast, beyond what Hu could imagine.
But so what? He had already activated his spirit protective barrier; with the boy’s weak aura, he couldn’t possibly inflict any damage on him. All he had was speed, nothing more!
Lin Nuo’s punch struck Hu’s chest, just as Hu had expected—his strength was negligible, unable to harm him at all.
Lin Nuo took a step back, creating space between them.
Hu burst into laughter, mocking:
“Haha, you’re overestimating your abilities! Your attacks couldn’t even scratch me—this is just your level. Humans are such inferior creatures, utterly useless!”
“I’m merely conducting a contrast experiment.”
Lin Nuo replied coldly, pulling a blue crystal known as the Heart of Water Spirit from his pocket, emanating a faint blue light.
Then, tightly gripping the Heart of Water Spirit in his right hand, he coldly stared at Hu.
Hu chuckled.
“What’s this? Have you run out of options? Your useless appearance is truly laughable.”
Lin Nuo said nothing, and once again, leaves swirled and wind whipped as he charged toward Hu.
His right fist tightened, the Heart of Water Spirit suddenly radiating a brilliant spirit light, unleashing intense energy.
Hu’s eyes widened in shock; that blue light bore similarities to that woman’s before—its astonishing, intimidating power filled him with fear.
“Serious Punch!”
Lin Nuo slammed his right fist into Hu’s chest. The immense energy surged through his fist, shattering Hu’s spirit protective barrier and pulverizing his internal organs, shaking him throughout.
It was as if a dormant volcano had erupted at that moment.
“No, no!!”
Boom!
Hu was blasted hundreds of meters away, creating a wide trench along his path.
“Dead.”
Lin Nuo approached and confirmed that Hu was mangled beyond recognition, thoroughly dead.
Fearing he might revive, Lin Nuo set him ablaze and subsequently returned to Su Kexin and Ruo’er.
Su Kexin’s outburst had ended, and she collapsed to the ground, alongside the two unconscious girls.
“Finally found you.”
The two Sea Domain Dragon Clan warriors from before had just caught up.
