SHWISH!
The Breaking Army Spear landed in Hong Yu's palm.
A faint silver light flowed along the spear's shaft. A ferocious True Dragon coiled around it, its head forming the spear's tip, the sharp point jutting out from its open mouth.
The mont he grasped the Breaking Army Spear, Hong Yu felt a sense of perfect harmony, as if it were an extension of his own body.
After days of refinent, he had successfully tad this Mortal Level Middle Grade Primordial Weapon.
With the spear in hand, his aura instantly erupted. His overwhelming montum completely eclipsed the Young Commander's sharp presence.
"Is that a Primordial Weapon?"
The Young Commander's eyes narrowed, and the greed within them burned even hotter. "Excellent, excellent! You brat, not only do you possess a Mortal-Level Martial Skill, but you also have a Primordial Weapon. Hahaha, if I kill you today, I'll have hit the jackpot..."
In the Young Commander's eyes, even with a Primordial Weapon, Hong Yu was no match for him.
After all...
A Primordial Weapon still required sufficient strength to be wielded effectively!
He might have been wary if Hong Yu were at his peak and holding the Breaking Army Spear, but Hong Yu had just been through a major battle. In the Young Commander's opinion, he had to be severely drained. In contrast, he himself had been watching coldly from the sidelines. With his own strength waxing and Hong Yu's waning, the Young Commander could almost see the goddess of victory standing right behind him.
"Demon Tyrant Fist!"
The Young Commander let out a thunderous roar as his Fist Montum grew even fiercer.
A wave of fire surged forth, like molten lava attempting to engulf Hong Yu.
The surging Power of Primordial Spirit coalesced on his fist, forming the domineering phantom of a flaming mad Demon that charged forward with imnse power.
Hong Yu's face turned crimson in the fire's reflection. His sharp brows knitted together, his eyes flashing with cold lightning. "Destruc... tion..."
Though Destruction was derived from a Mortal-Level Martial Skill, the Shadow Martial Space had modified it to a point where its power couldn't be underestimated—it was at least on par with a Half-Step Mortal Level Martial Skill. Combined with the power of the genuine Mortal Level Middle Grade Primordial Weapon, the Breaking Army Spear, Hong Yu's combat strength reached its absolute peak.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A faint silver radiance swirled around the Breaking Army Spear.
Hong Yu frantically poured the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from his body into the Breaking Army Spear, and a faint dark red hue appeared within the silver light.
A strike as fierce as a tempest suddenly shot out.
The silver and dark red light intertwined on the spear's shaft before converging on its tip, forming a razor-sharp edge.
Imnse spear phantoms appeared, multiplying from eight to sixteen, then to thirty-two...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The spear phantoms and fist phantoms collided in midair.
The roar of explosions was endless.
「At this very mont...」
Neither Hong Yu nor the Young Commander held anything back. They were fully engaged in a battle to the death.
BOOM!
The clash of ultimate power finally erupted in a violent roar.
Two forces, each powerful enough to shatter a small city's wall, surged violently. Amidst a blinding, dazzling brilliance, one silver and one red stream of power erupted simultaneously. A shockwave imdiately followed, and a WHOOSHING gale swept up to envelop them both.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The gale spun faster and faster, its power growing ever stronger.
Within a hundred-ter radius, everything—from the flowers and trees to the rocks and cliffs—began to stir violently in the gale stirred up by the shockwave.
Trees were ripped up by their roots...
Boulders embedded deep in the cliff faces were likewise torn free...
Dust filled the air, and the ashes from the ruins left by the vast sea of fire were swept high into the sky...
A thick haze spread out, filled with flying sand and stones.
"What terrifying power! These two are just too strong."
"Who do you think will win in the end?"
"It has to be our Fifth Commander! He's one of the top three strongest among the Ten Great Commanders. How could that disciple from the Cyan Nether Sword Sect possibly be his match?"
"Bullshit! Our Brother Hong is the strongest!"
"That's right! The winner will definitely be Brother Hong!"
Outside the haze, the crowd chattered excitedly.
PUFF!
A figure suddenly flew backward out of the thick haze, slamming heavily against a distant stone wall.
"Is it over?"
"Who won in the end?"
Everyone's gaze fixed on the flying figure.
After hitting the stone wall, the figure ricocheted off and collapsed to the ground. His body was covered in grueso wounds and scorch marks that looked like rotting centipedes crawling all over him. He trembled slightly before slowly climbing back to his feet.
It was—the Young Commander!
"What? The Fifth Commander was sent flying? Did he lose?"
"Hahaha, Brother Hong won! Brother Hong is Wudi!"
"Impossible! How could the Fifth Commander lose to a brat at the Half-Step Earth Soul Realm?"
So were ecstatic, others in disbelief. The clamor was exceptionally loud.
The Young Commander's face was a mask of fury, a trace of terror in his eyes. The horrifying power Hong Yu had displayed in their last exchange sent a chill down his spine even now as he recalled it.
He paid no mind to his grievous injuries, nor to the crowd's chatter. His eyes remained fixed on the obscuring haze. Deep within his gaze, a sliver of hope and anxiety spread. He clenched his fists, cold sweat beading on them. 'Ghost Six, you have to succeed!'
「anwhile, inside the haze!」
Just as Hong Yu sent the Young Commander flying and was about to give chase, a blurry black shadow flashed behind him. A dagger glinting with a deadly cold light stabbed toward his back.
"Not good!"
Hong Yu's Perception was incredibly sharp, and he reacted instantly.
However, it was too late to dodge. Without looking back, Hong Yu flicked his wrist, reversed the Breaking Army Spear, and thrust it behind him.
Ghost Six, who had stealthily approached him, also failed to react in ti as the spear was already upon him.
"Damn it..."
Ghost Six let out an unwilling roar and tried to retreat.
However...
Hong Yu gave him no such chance!
"Trying to run? Too late!"
Hong Yu's toes suddenly tapped the ground, and his body spun like a top. The Breaking Army Spear's thrust turned into a horizontal sweep.
BAM!
The spear's shaft struck Ghost Six directly on the ribs.
"Ah!"
Ghost Six scread in agony. The blow had shattered half of his ribs.
Having landed the hit, Hong Yu halted his steps and spun around to face the screaming Ghost Six. Hong Yu grinned, mouthing a few words at Ghost Six as he once again unleashed the Void Fire Dragon, which contained supre flas.
The Flaming Long Dragon instantly enveloped Ghost Six.
The aura of death filled the air. A flash of despair and resentnt crossed Ghost Six's eyes as he vaguely recalled the two words Hong Yu had mouthed—"Bye-bye!"
BOOM!
The Fire Dragon wrapped around Ghost Six, coursing over his body before plunging into him through his Celestial Spirit. Ghost Six's body trembled violently, his eyes instantly filled with a bloody light. With a BOOM, seven streams of fire erupted from his seven orifices.
In the blink of an eye, Ghost Six was burned to ashes from the inside out.
Hong Yu's gaze was calm, showing no guilt for the kill.
In this world where the strong devoured the weak, showing rcy to an enemy would only result in a brutal counterattack against oneself.
Of course, Hong Yu had his own principles.
"I won't attack unless I am attacked!"
But Ghost Six, Ghost Qi, and the Young Commander had tried to kill him again and again, and even dared to harm his friends. They had crossed Hong Yu's bottom line. He would show no rcy!
"One left!"
Hong Yu's eyes pierced through the layers of haze, locking onto the Young Commander's position.
「Outside the haze...」
The Young Commander's eyes were filled with anxiety. 'Why is Ghost Six taking so long? He's always succeeded quickly before. Why is he so slow this ti?'
"Huh? What's that?"
The Young Commander suddenly froze.
He noticed a silver light flickering within the haze. He frowned and focused his gaze.
At first glance, the silver light in his pupils just seed to be growing larger and larger...
"No..."
The Young Commander roared. He finally realized it was a silver long spear, shooting toward him as fast as Thunder. His expression changed dramatically as he hurriedly circulated his Profound Skill. The Power of Primordial Spirit gathered in his hands once more, and he crossed them in front of him to block the incoming long spear.
BAM!
The long spear's force was imnse. It sent a numbing jolt through the Young Commander's arms and knocked him back more than ten ters.
'Good, I blocked it!'
The Young Commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But the sky-piercing cry that imdiately followed from within the haze made every pore on his body explode and his scalp tingle with numbness.
Hong Yu, using the Seven-Star Step, appeared before the Young Commander like a phantom.
He grabbed the tail of the Breaking Army Spear with one hand, spun his body, and swung the spear high into the air, bringing it down like a long staff for a vicious strike.
The Young Commander hastily raised his arms to block.
CLANG!
The spear struck the gloves, sending out a shower of fiery sparks.
The imnse force slamd the Young Commander into the ground, burying his legs up to the knees in dirt. But thanks to the protection of his Primordial Weapon Gloves, he hadn't suffered any major injuries.
"What a fine pair of Primordial Weapon Gloves!"
Hong Yu's eyes lit up as he once again swung the long spear down.
"It's useless, you can't possibly..."
The Young Commander sneered dismissively.
But he wasn't laughing for long!
This ti, Hong Yu wasn't aiming for his hands, but straight for his shoulder.
How fast was Hong Yu?
His speed could only be described as instantaneous as a bolt of lightning. The strike landed, crashing heavily onto the Young Commander's shoulder.
"Aargh..."
The Young Commander scread as his right arm was smashed to pieces.
Hong Yu struck again, pressing his advantage, and this ti he hit the man's left shoulder.
"My arms! You dare to cripple both my arms? Bastard! You bastard!" His arms hung limply at his sides, dripping with blood as he shrieked in agony.
"This is just the beginning!"
Hong Yu smiled faintly. It was a radiant smile, but in the Young Commander's eyes, it was the grin of a demon. His eyes were filled with terror. "What... what are you planning to do? N-no, stay away... I'm the Fifth Commander of the Mountain Opening Tiger Thief Gang! You can't kill ! If you dare to kill , you'll die! You'll die a horrible death...!"
"Hahaha, our mission this ti is to wipe out the Mountain Opening Tiger thieves. Did you really think you'd be spared?"
Hong Yu smiled faintly and flicked his finger.
The attack wasn't very powerful, but it ford an Energy Finger Sword that pierced through the Young Commander's Dantian with a PUFF.
His Dantian was shattered, his cultivation completely lost.
The Young Commander's face stiffened, and he looked as if he'd been struck by lightning. "You... you dare to cripple ? My cultivation, my power... No, you actually crippled ? Hong Yu, I'll kill you! I'll kill you...!"
"Your voice is so fucking annoying!"
Hong Yu sneered.
He kicked out, landing a direct hit on the mouth that was spewing filth. All its teeth shattered, and it beca a bloody ss, capable only of a "UUUU" whimper.
Finally, so peace and quiet!
Hong Yu chuckled, then slowly turned around, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the dumbstruck thieves.
That single glance was like the gaze of a sovereign, making the hundred or so remaining thieves' legs go weak. They fell to their knees, prostrating themselves and wailing.
"Hahahaha..."
Hong Yu threw his head back and let out a long laugh.
「In this mont...」
He was invincible!
