Chapter 238 Betrayal
Marquis Xia Wu, nicknamed Martial Elder Xia.
Being called a Martial Elder indicates that even though he is not the top among the Guiyuan Grandmasters, he has already established a significant reputation. Even the Pavilion Master of Central City Martial Mansion, Tai Zhengyuan, sees him differently, considering him for the position of Director of Education and the next Pavilion Master of Central City Martial Mansion!
As clean and bright as a clear day, without any blemishes.
Unfortunately... back then, to catch Tai Zhengyuan's eye and escape from old constraints, he spent considerable funds, and the financial gap had to be filled through some old friends.
This left him with a stain, a flaw that could be exploited.
But in terms of strength, he is absolutely impeccable, and in the future, he even has a hope of breaking through to become a powerful Profound Realm Martial Artist in the Guiyuan Realm.
And now he is attacking with full force.
The overwhelming wind and snow all evaded, and in just an instant, a vacuum zone was formed within meters around the two, making the blizzard retreat a significant distance.
He thrust a full-powered sword towards Xu Lingjun's neck.
Not holding back at all...
At this moment, both opponents were locked in a life and death struggle, unable to easily withdraw. Now, it was his own arena.
Die!
In a blink of an eye, Marquis Xia Wu was already within reach of Xu Lingjun, a sinister grin of success was surfacing in his eyes, the ecstasy of personally killing a peerless genius...
Filled him with immense satisfaction.
And seeing that he was about to cut down Xu Lingjun under his sword.
Xu Lingjun's eyes suddenly revealed a cold, calculating smile, his grip on the Blood Gun suddenly loosened.
The Blood Gun immediately jabbed at his chest, but was blocked by the Vibranium Armor.
He paid no heed to this attack and instead raised his hand towards Marquis Xia Wu.
A clanking mechanical sound came from his palm, and the flesh hand was instantly covered with a layer of Nanometer Armor, transforming it into an Iron Glove.
The muzzle at the center of the glove aimed directly at Marquis Xia Wu.
The opponent thought he had succeeded, but he didn't know that ever since he got within a kilometer, Xiaoya had warned him...
Though Xu Lingjun was fiercely battling with Han Yun City, he was constantly wary of a sneak attack... The Blood Gun may be fierce, but with dual defenses, Xu Lingjun did not think that Han Yun City could break his defense; using his palm to act as a last-ditch effort was just to lure the opponent to act.
And now it seemed, he indeed fell for it.
Ridiculous... I would rather suffer a blow, at worst a minor injury, but you won't escape unharmed.
With a mecha as his guardian, Xu Lingjun was full of confidence, he thought, if I can't beat him, I can at least run away, right?
The Steel Armor began charging.
The decisiveness with which he released his palm was indeed beyond Marquis Xia Wu's expectations.
This kid is going all out... but I am faster, I can kill him before he hurts me...
Marquis Xia Wu gritted his teeth, his speed suddenly increased by thirty percent, seeing he was about to cut down Xu Lingjun's neck.
Boom~~~!!!
A loud explosion.
The Blood Qi Long Spear had already horizontally blocked Xu Lingjun's neck.
Directly clashing hard against the Blizzard Long Sword, the sharp blood gun made the long sword fall immediately to the ground, Han Yun City groaned softly, his knees buckling, nearly falling to the ground.
"What... what..."
This time, both Xu Lingjun and Marquis Xia Wu were stunned.
Evidently, neither of them expected that Han Yun City would actually block this fatal blow for Xu Lingjun...
But Xu Lingjun's surprise did not affect his movements, and as soon as he finished charging, a Light Energy Cannon Attack blasted directly at Marquis Xia Wu, who was already very close, and he barely managed to turn his face sideways, leaving half his face completely exposed to the cannon attack.
Scorching heat instantly engulfed his entire face.
Marquis Xia Wu screamed as he flew backwards, half of his face burned to a crisp.
With his strength, if it had been a fair fight this wouldn't have happened, but in trying to gain an advantage, he didn't expect to suffer a tremendous loss, unable to showcase his talents, already being injured by Xu Lingjun.
And Xu Lingjun pressed the advantage.
The Iron Glove continuously launched several cannons.
However, despite the injuries, the wounds on his face, apart from the pain, did not have much effect, and he easily dodged the cannon shots with a quick move.
"You despicable villain, dare to interrupt my battle, I'll take your life!!!"
Han Yun City roared with fury, as if the one who got ambushed was him, not only did he release Xu Lingjun, but leaped towards Marquis Xia Wu.
This indeed was beyond Xu Lingjun's expectation.
But he quickly realized, this guy obviously cultivates a technique similar to a Berserker, the stronger his power, the more irritable he becomes, susceptible to provocation, and now, evidently, emotions took over reason, dominating his actions.
He clearly saw Marquis Xia Wu as the culprit who interrupted his combat enjoyment.
With the Blood Gun in hand, a speck of bloodlight amidst numerous spear shadows, charged directly towards Marquis Xia Wu.
"Misunderstanding, I came for Xu Lingjun!"
Marquis Xia Wu hurriedly explained, using both hands to withstand the might of the Long Spear, effortlessly so, even though Han Yun City had already erupted with 200% of his normal combat power, Marquis Xia Wu still easily repelled him.
And at this moment.
Xu Lingjun had long used the time Han Yun City bought to purify his True Qi infinitely within his body.
Then, he used the Reckless and Irresponsible method!
Armor-Piercing Peak Seven-Spin Finger!
Earlier, when facing Han Yun City, he was forced too hastily, unable to fully unleash the power of the Armor-Piercing Peak Seven-Spin Finger. But now, after three seconds of accumulation, with the full force of the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" + "Reckless and Irresponsible," a finger force shot straight toward Marquis Xia Wu in mid-air!
Marquis Xia Wu met it with his own finger in response.
A dull sound...
Xu Lingjun was forced back dozens of steps, his fingers faintly aching, clearly the difference in strength was immense. Even if True Qi was refined into True Essence, it was far from comparably matching Marquis Xia Wu.
The opponent's True Qi invaded his body.
Transforming into Blood Qi, he actually felt a bloated and uncomfortable feeling that he had to let out.
But the method of Reckless and Irresponsible seemed effective...
Marquis Xia Wu groaned, his right arm hung weakly, feeling intense pain in his veins, temporarily unable to raise it.
Han Yun City shouted loudly, "Let's join forces to kill him first, then we can settle our scores!"
"Okay!"
The two of them simultaneously charged at Marquis Xia Wu.
"Bastards, today I'll kill both of you little brats!"
Marquis Xia Wu was furious, initially planning to kill Xu Lingjun and then retreat... as for Han Yun City, as long as he didn't see his face, it wasn't a problem.
Unexpectedly, Han Yun City not only turned on him halfway, ruining his plan, but now seemed to stand united with his enemy Xu Lingjun.
The two had just fought fiercely, already extremely familiar with each other's strength. Now teamed against the enemy... they were surprisingly in synchrony...
They split left and right, charging toward Marquis Xia Wu.
How does it feel to be surrounded by two Body Refining Martial Artists?
Marquis Xia Wu instantly found himself under a storm of ferocious attacks, attacking without defense, completely abandoning any form of defense and fighting back with absolute aggression.
Half his face wounded.
One of his eyes was forcibly blasted away, and in temporary discomfort, faced with their pincer attack, he found himself slightly at a disadvantage.
"Get away from me!"
Marquis Xia Wu roared in anger, after all, a seasoned Dongxuan.
His ability to adapt was extremely strong. With a low growl, he struck a palm blow, the palm technique imbued with scorching Qi Force, shooting toward the two...
Using the moment they resisted, his entire person retreated tens of meters like a whirlwind.
Retreat first, then advance!
With extreme speed, he crashed toward Han Yun City!
Leaping kick, the force of the leg was astonishing, striking directly on the blood-colored long spear, then reversing to grab at the Blood Qi.
Han Yun City quickly responded, the Blood Qi instantly dissipated, just as it was about to recondense, Marquis Xia Wu intercepted with a punch... hitting directly on Han Yun City's chest.
Han Yun City spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood... staggering as he was flung back.
The undisputed number one in the students' absolute strength, at his peak, when facing Marquis Xia Wu, could only withstand for a breath before being defeated.
"Kid, it's your turn now!"
Marquis Xia Wu attacked each individually, turned, and used a finger-knife gesture to slash at Xu Lingjun.
The Blood Qi surged wildly within Xu Lingjun, the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" reached its limit of enhancement.
As a fellow Dongxuan, Marquis Xia Wu's strength vastly surpassed Gu Xi's.
He dared not hold back at all.
Blood Qi surged around him.
"Qiantian Gang Qi"! Seventy percent Qi Blood!
Ignite!
Endless Blood Flame blazed fiercely, his entire being turned into a man of blood.
With a gigantic roaring explosion, the two exchanged blows of fists and palms.
Xu Lingjun was powerlessly blasted away, but as he just retreated, the opponent advanced again, fists, palms, and fingers consecutively striking Xu Lingjun three times, knocking him flying.
Then he couldn't help but be mildly annoyed, "What's with this armor, one layer outside, another inside... how insecure is this kid to wear two layers of armor?"
He attacked three times in succession, fingers feeling slightly numb with pain.
Xu Lingjun spat out a mouthful of blood.
The opponent's True Qi bombarded into his body, forcibly converted into Blood Qi by the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique".
He actually couldn't withstand it...
And after spitting out that mouthful of fresh blood, he felt slightly better.
No, at this rate, my defense can hold, but I can't endure it, if this continues, I'll suddenly die from overexertion.
I must spend it quickly!
"Qiantian Gang Qi"! Full tenfold Qi Blood!
Xu Lingjun no longer held back.
Pushing with full strength, his hair stood on end, the blazing Blood Flame surged higher...
Once more collided with Marquis Xia Wu.
