"It’s pointless. Your Sacred Body has only reached minor completion, whereas this puppet was forged from millennium-old Earth Gold. It is indestructible and possesses imnse strength. You might as well surrender!"
The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s fists flew like a ferocious storm, so dense that they caused the air to rupture. The sonic booms crackled like a string of firecrackers, rumbling incessantly. Each punch carried the might to split mountains and shatter rocks. Its power was terrifying.
Su Han remained silent, his left hand clenched in a fist and his right holding the Black Blade. He defended continuously but was steadily pushed back. His Dragon Phoenix Protection and Starry Moon Armor had been shattered earlier and were temporarily unable to recongeal, significantly reducing his defensive power.
"Second Style: One Slash Thunder Clap!"
"Third Style: Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power!"
Su Han continuously executed the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. Each slash was unstoppable, tearing through the heavens and destroying the universe. The blade’s brilliance lit up the sky and Thunder Light erupted, but it was hardly effective against the Black Gold Puppet. It only left behind shallow marks, failing to inflict any fundantal damage. Moreover, this Black Gold Puppet wasn’t a body of flesh and blood; it felt no pain or fatigue, making it a relentless killing machine.
"I’ve said it before, your little tricks are nothing. Even if you were in the Physique Realm, you couldn’t break this puppet!" The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable was brimming with confidence in his Black Gold Puppet. Since martial artists above the Physique Realm couldn’t enter, the strongest opponent he could face was rely at the Ninth Layer of the Phenonon Realm, which posed no challenge to him.
WHOOSH!
A scorpion tail, like a barbed hook and faster than lightning, lashed out rcilessly at Su Han. It gouged out a large piece of flesh, leaving a wound so deep the bone was visible. This Black Gold Puppet was fashioned in the likeness of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable, with a human torso and a scorpion tail, perfectly suited to his combat style.
"It’s poisoned!"
Not only was the Black Gold Puppet indestructible, but it was also laced with a Deadly Poison. Su Han’s wound was already turning black and beginning to fester, a clear sign of the poison’s extre potency. Golden Qi-Blood surged through him, repelling all evil and quickly forcing out the poison. However, this consud his Demonic Qi and stamina, leaving his aura even weaker.
"Character Technique of Motion!"
Su Han executed the technique to repeatedly dodge, needing ti to refine the two Dao dicines first. The Character Technique of Motion was one of the fastest movent arts in the world; even the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable couldn’t keep up. But he wasn’t a fool. Seeing he couldn’t catch Su Han, he turned to attack Lu Yunxian instead.
Damn it! Su Han’s heart sank. He swiftly gave chase, unleashing the Golden Earth Sun Fist to block the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s attack.
"You’re still too green to fight !" Having forced Su Han back, the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable resud his ferocious assault. He landed punch after punch, driving Su Han into a relentless retreat and giving him no ti to absorb the power of the dicines.
Seeing Su Han at a disadvantage, Lu Yunxian was burning with anxiety. She quickly made a move, executing the only Earth Rank Martial Technique she had to help him. "Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique: Wood Grain Withering Technique!"
Instantly, a flash of green light fell upon the Black Gold Puppet, dimming its luster slightly. But as a tal puppet, not a body of flesh, it could not wither. The technique had a negligible effect.
"Hmph, courting death!" The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable snorted coldly. He threw a punch from a distance. Though there was no Fist Blaze, the force of the blow tore through the air. The concussion sent Lu Yunxian stumbling back, spitting blood.
"Fairy Sister Yun Xian!" Su Han’s heart clenched, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
"Invincible Tao Xin!"
"Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!"
Su Han let out a roar like that of a celestial dragon. The sound waves crashed like a tide, striking fiercely at the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable, aiming to injure his Remnant Soul. The Black Gold Puppet was too sturdy for Su Han to break through at the mont, so he could only choose to attack the Remnant Soul. As long as the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s Remnant Soul was destroyed, the threat of the Black Gold Puppet would vanish with it. However, the Remnant Soul was not so easily destroyed. The Black Gold Puppet withstood the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds, rely trembling slightly without taking any damage.
With the sonic attack proving ineffective, Su Han’s Divine Sense surged. "Nine Heavens Divine Light!" A beam of Divine Light, half-real and half-illusory, shot out from his Nine Heavens Eye, aid at obliterating the spirit.
"AH!"
A scream of agony echoed from within the Black Gold Puppet. The power of the Nine Heavens Divine Light was too strong, inflicting imnse damage on the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s Remnant Soul. He cried out in pain as he rapidly retreated. Unfortunately, Su Han’s Heavenly Eye was only at the First Layer. Therefore, the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Light was limited and failed to completely erase the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s Remnant Soul.
"Brat, you’ve successfully angered !" The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s voice beca shrill and malicious. His rage from the injury to his Remnant Soul was palpable. "Once I capture you, I will devour your soul and condemn it to an eternity without release!"
WHOOSH!
The Black Gold Puppet charged forward again. Its fists swung, shattering the air, and its legs kicked in a rapid tempest. All the while, its barbed scorpion tail lay in wait for the perfect mont to deliver a fatal strike. Su Han’s heart sank. He could not retreat and was forced to face the onslaught head-on.
He activated three great secret techniques at once: the Character Technique of Motion, the Secret of the Battle Character, and the Secret of the Soldier Character. He unleashed all kinds of Origin Techniques and nurous Divine thods, along with the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes and the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist. At this mont, Su Han was going all out, using every ans at his disposal short of Demonization, vowing to settle the score with the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable once and for all.
RUMBLE!
The two clashed fiercely within the grand hall. The sound of their fists eting flesh was imnse, enough to make one’s scalp tingle and heart pound with fear.
"Little Han!" Lu Yunxian clenched her fists, her heart fraught with anxiety and worry. But she was powerless to help and could only watch over the unconscious Ning Feifan.
Droplets of blood sprayed through the air, splattering against the walls and floor in stark, crimson bursts. Even Su Han’s Sacred Body couldn’t withstand the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s frenzied assault. He was beaten until he coughed up blood continuously, and several of his ribs were broken. If not for his Vajra Undying Great Luo Golden Bone, which could contend with the Black Gold Puppet, his injuries would have been far more severe.
"I’ve played long enough," the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable howled. "With this final punch, let’s end this boring ga!" His right hand clenched into a fist, which began to glow with a dazzling black light. The poison emanating from it was so intense it resembled a black, toxic sun.
BOOM!
He threw the punch, and the very air collapsed as space rippled. It was a blow powerful enough to obliterate a mountain thousands of feet high.
"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"
Su Han dared not be careless. He unleashed his strongest punch, channeling all his golden Qi-Blood, Physical Strength, the power of his Great Luo Golden Bone, the Secret of the Battle Character, and his Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi.
THUD!
A dull, thunderous roar erupted as the fists connected. The resulting shockwave spread like a destructive tide. Still, Su Han was on the losing end, thrown backward by the force.
But at that very mont, the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s hook-like scorpion tail, which had long been poised to strike, shot out like a bolt of black lightning. It accurately hooked onto Su Han’s arm.
RIP!
The sharp barb tore through skin and muscle, carving a grueso, bone-deep gash in Su Han’s right arm. The Black Blade fell from his grasp. The force of the blow slamd him against the wall, and he collapsed, spitting blood nonstop, severely injured and on the brink of death.
Seeing this, terror flooded Lu Yunxian’s heart. Has Little Han been defeated?
