"No, I can't die!"
A trace of determination flashed in Hong Yu's despairing eyes.
He thought of Yaoyao at ho, waiting for him to save her, and his parents whose whereabouts were unknown.
"I absolutely cannot die!"
Facing the threat of death, at the critical mont, Hong Yu caught a glimpse of a broken piece of wood on the ground out of the corner of his eye. A hint of wild joy appeared in his eyes. 'Heaven never seals all exits!'
SWISH!
Hong Yu stopped resisting the backward montum, took another half step back, and just managed to step on the broken wood. His foot slipped, and he instantly fell backward onto the ground.
"Hmm?"
Niu Ben's claw had just missed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
But Hong Yu seized that split-second opportunity. He slapped the ground with one hand, his body spinning as he dodged with a quick roll before getting back to his feet.
"RAAARGH, you cunning little brat! Die!"
Niu Ben stomped the ground in fury and charged again.
He was just one man, but his montum was like that of a shaking army of thousands. His thick qi and blood were like a long rainbow piercing the void, his power terrifying.
His weapons were a pair of Human Head Double-Sealing Hamrs.
On the handles were two massive human heads, and it was impossible to tell if they were real or fake. But the enormous Double-Sealing Hamrs exuded a suffocating sense of oppressive power.
The Ten Great Commanders of the Mountain Opening Tiger Thief Gang were all powerhouses. The top three commanders, in particular, were astonishingly and terrifyingly strong.
This Niu Ben was said to have half Desolate Beast blood.
Being half-man, half-beast gave Niu Ben a physique as tough as a Desolate Beast's and a talent for strength far beyond that of ordinary people. The Human Head Double-Sealing Hamrs in his hands weighed a full 5,000 jin. An ordinary powerhouse, even a Late Stage Earth Soul Realm Powerhouse, would find it difficult to wield such weapons.
But Niu Ben could.
Not only could he wield them, but he had also refined a profound Hamr Technique with these heavy Human Head Double-Sealing Hamrs.
The Benniu Hamr Skill, vast and mighty, was like ten thousand bulls stampeding!
"One Strike Decides the Tune!"
Niu Ben roared.
The Double-Sealing Hamrs in his hands ca crashing down like a great mountain.
This was Niu Ben's most commonly used move in battle. The hamr strike unleashed a terrifying force of 20,000 jin. Combined with the 5,000 jin weight of the Double-Sealing Hamrs themselves, the destructive power of this attack was no less than 25,000 jin.
An ordinary Mid-stage Earth Soul Realm Powerhouse facing this strike would instantly feel despair and collapse.
Unstoppable!
After all, the explosive power of a typical Mid-stage Earth Soul Realm cultivator was only around 20,000 jin. How could they possibly withstand such a powerful and heavy blow from Niu Ben?
Fortunately, Hong Yu's current base strength at the Half-Step Earth Soul Realm was 5,000 jin. With the amplification from his Seven Great Vortices, he could unleash seven tis that force—a total of 35,000 jin—which already surpassed an ordinary Mid-stage Earth Soul Realm cultivator.
What's more, his Fire Spirit Body was already beginning to reveal its prominence and advantages.
Even though he couldn't use the Power of Primordial Spirit, his mastery in wielding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was not to be underestimated!
"Rising Dragon Fist!"
Hong Yu had a pair of Fiery Red Gloves on his hands.
They were the very ones he had taken from the Fifth Commander!
In Hong Yu's hands, the Fla Gloves displayed the full might of a Lower-Grade Primordial Weapon.
FWOOSH!
A layer of dazzling red light swirled around the gloves, gathering and flowing. Mysterious runes condensed on the surface of his fists, coalescing to form a Fla Strange Beast.
This beast was quite peculiar.
Its entire body was wreathed in flas, its four hooves trod upon clusters of fiery clouds, and between its brows, two bolts of dark lightning-fire swirled.
Hong Yu's legs bent slightly, then shot forward like a spring.
His speed was already fast, and with this short-range burst of power, his figure turned into a stream of flowing light, soaring toward the heavens.
His fists danced. The Advanced Martial Skill, Rising Dragon Fist, at the Great Perfection Realm, whipped up a powerful wind as a majestic aura rose from him. Streams of fiery red energy erupted once more from his Lower Dantian, coiling and condensing around his fists to form two magnificent Fire Dragons, which then entangled the beast.
This was the Fist Intent unique to the Rising Dragon Fist at the Great Perfection Realm!
'Hm? This kid's attack is so strange. He's clearly only at the Half-Step Earth Soul Realm, but his aura is so thick and enduring?'
Watching from the side, the Grand Commander, Hua Feihua, frowned, a flicker of astonishnt in his eyes. But it was only astonishnt. 'Still... if this is all you have up your sleeve, then you're destined to die. Not even I can resist Niu Ben's full power, let alone a little guy at the Half-Step Earth Soul Realm.'
The Ten Great Commanders knew each other well.
Hua Feihua knew exactly how terrifying Niu Ben's strength was.
His half-man, half-beast bloodline gave him an absolutely heaven-blessed advantage!
Even though he was only at the Mid-stage Earth Soul Realm, his true strength was not much inferior to Hua Feihua's own.
He was by no ans soone a Half-Step Earth Soul Realm cultivator like Hong Yu could compare to.
At least, until now, aside from that one terrifying place, Hua Feihua admitted he had never seen such a genius.
The simple, unadorned Double-Sealing Hamrs fell heavily.
They finally collided with the dark red glow of the fists.
BOOM!
The power from both sides reached its peak, like two mountains crashing into each other. The deafening, terrifying sound of the impact was like a thunderclap on a clear day, causing the slightly weaker powerhouses to feel their qi and blood churn uncomfortably. A few thieves and Sword Sect disciples who were standing too close were even sent flying backward by the shockwave from the terrifying collision.
"Hahaha, you do have so strength, little guy, but you're still too green to fight with Grandpa Niu!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Niu Ben's eyes.
He clearly hadn't expected Hong Yu to be able to withstand his attack.
"Hmph!"
Hong Yu's expression was calm as he snorted coldly.
"Those gloves should belong to that kid, Old Fifth, right? To think they'd end up in your hands. Speaking of which, Old Fifth and I got along pretty well. Today, let Grandpa Niu avenge him…"
Niu Ben had, of course, noticed the gloves on Hong Yu's hands. As a cold light blood in his eyes, his short body suddenly began to swell.
His dwarfish body shot up two ters in an instant, exceeding 2.6 ters in height!
His child-like, slender arms swelled in an instant to beco thicker than an adult's thigh. Layers of muscle, like the sinews of a wild bull, rippled with a terrifying, explosive power. His strength also completely erupted at this mont, rising to a full 40,000 jin!
This force of 40,000 jin ca pressing down with extre weight.
Hong Yu's hands imdiately went numb. The terrifying force made him feel as if the bones in his arms were about to be shattered.
Fortunately, Hong Yu had consud the Fiery Fla Vermilion Fruit and possessed the Fire Spirit Body, so his physical toughness was also beyond that of an ordinary person!
He gritted his teeth, circulating the Profound Skill within his body. It drove the surging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi through him, dissipating the destructive force and preventing him from being heavily injured by Niu Ben. Even so, the sudden increase in imnse power still caused Hong Yu to suffer minor internal injuries from the shock.
PUFF!
His body trembled slightly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Die, little guy!"
The muscles on Niu Ben's arms bulged high, like two small mountains perched on his limbs. Green veins writhed like little snakes as he brought the Double-Sealing Hamrs in his hands crashing down again with vicious force.
BANG!
This ti, Hong Yu could no longer resist and was sent flying backward.
Hong Yu fell from mid-air and landed on the ground.
With a BOOM, his legs plunged into the ground to stop his montum. But Niu Ben's strength was simply too imnse, and the backward force sent him skidding away. He left two deep drag marks in his wake, like trenches.
'This Niu Ben can transform? What the hell is he?' Hong Yu watched the mountain-like Niu Ben with shock and uncertainty.
For this guy to swell to such a size in an instant was truly unbelievable.
「In the distance...」
The three n—Shi Tao and the others—who were besieging the Second Commander, caught a glimpse of the scene from the corner of their eyes, their faces revealing excitent and ecstasy.
The three exchanged a look, and each saw the schadenfreude in the others' eyes.
Shi Tao sneered, "This ti, that little bastard is definitely dead!"
"Tsk tsk, to think that Niu Ben has a half-man, half-beast bloodline. He's really sothing!" said Dongfang Lang.
Duan Hong raised an eyebrow. A dozen or so Flying Swords hovered around him. His talent was precisely that of a Manipulation System Spirit Cultivator. These dozen or so Flying Swords ford a mysterious Sword Array, capable of both offense and defense.
With a wave of his arm, seven Flying Swords ford the Three Talents Four Symbols Sword Array and shot toward the Second Commander.
A cold look also appeared on his face. "You made lose so much face; I should have made you wish you were dead. But this is fine too. Having you die a miserable death at the hands of a half-man, half-beast is a pretty good alternative!"
The three, each with their own thoughts, grew more excited and fought with increasing valor, pressing the Second Commander until he cried out in misery.
「Back to Hong Yu...」
His gaze sized up Niu Ben, who was slowly walking toward him, while his peripheral vision caught sight of the Grand Commander Hua Feihua, who stood behind Niu Ben with his arms crossed, making no move. Hong Yu's expression grew solemn. 'This Niu Ben is already so formidable. And judging by his reverent attitude toward Hua Feihua, the Grand Commander must be even more difficult to deal with.'
'With my current strength, unless I rely on Xingtian or use the Primordial Weapon Breaking Army Spear, the outco of this battle is grim…'
Hong Yu's eyes flickered uncertainly.
Both the Breaking Army Spear and Xingtian were his trump cards, not to be revealed lightly.
Especially Xingtian.
He couldn't be sure if anyone here knew about the existence of Execution Corpses.
If they found out he possessed an Execution Corpse, he feared it would attract imnse trouble. The existence of an Execution Corpse was enough to entice even Primordial Core Realm powerhouses!
At this thought, Hong Yu gritted his teeth. 'It seems I have no choice but to use the Breaking Army Spear!'
Primordial Weapons were precious, true.
But it was, after all, only a Mortal-level Middle-grade Primordial Weapon. The only ones who would truly go mad with greed for it would be Earth Soul Realm powerhouses. Once a cultivator reached the Celestial Soul Realm Level, they wouldn't lower themselves to fight over anything less than a Mortal Level High-Grade Primordial Weapon.
Although Hong Yu's current strength wasn't enough to deal with a Late-stage Earth Soul Realm opponent, it would still be quite difficult for an ordinary Earth Soul Realm cultivator to snatch the Breaking Army Spear from his hands.
"Hahaha, you kid from the Cyan Nether Sword Sect! You were able to withstand Grandpa Niu's One Strike Decides the Tune; your strength is truly not weak. It's just a pity you killed Old Fifth, who I got along with quite well. That leaves no choice but to kill you!"
Niu Ben held his Double-Sealing Hamrs and walked toward Hong Yu with heavy steps, moving with the gait of a Dragon Walk and Tiger Stride.
His steps weren't rushed, but his speed was incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Hong Yu…
"Kid, have a taste of Grandpa Niu's move—Mad Bull Chaotic Dance!"
Niu Ben's qi and blood suddenly surged violently. His black hair instantly turned blood-red, dancing wildly without any wind, making him look like a ferocious Beast God standing in the sky. As his steel-like muscles twitched, his body began to spin rapidly in mid-air, instantly transforming into a whirling cyclone.
As the Double-Sealing Hamrs in his hands shook, the strong wind passing through the human skulls on the handles produced a "MOO MOO" sound.
The dreadful sound was like millions of crazed Demonic Bull Desolate Beasts roaring and stampeding.
The mighty Double-Sealing Hamrs ford a storm of a mad bull, and their sharp light seed as if it would pierce through the entire sky. The powerful montum startled everyone around, their faces turning pale. Facing such a strike, they felt a sense of despair.
Even Shi Tao and the other two turned pale when they felt the power of this attack.
Hong Yu, who had been about to use the Breaking Army Spear to break through the attack, couldn't help but freeze as he watched Niu Ben execute the Hamr Technique. He even forgot to resist, just standing there stunned, staring blankly at the showy Hamr Technique with a look of confusion in his eyes.
He was completely unaware that the giant Double-Sealing Hamrs were about to fall and smash his head into dust…
