Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 746: Crushing Defeat (4)

Chapter 746: Crushing Defeat (4)

The destructive winds attempted to cut through Shan Xiong, but he also vanished before reappearing somewhere else. Several bloody scars could be seen on him. He exclaimed in astonishment, “Martial technique?”

That did not seem to be a blood essence ability. Su Yu had not consumed any blood essence during the fight. In that case, how had Su Yu transformed into wind? Through a unique martial technique?

Right at that moment, a hammer appeared in Su Yu’s hand. After transforming back to a body of flesh, Su Yu swung the hammer at Shan Xiong. A loud bang rang out.

The vibration traveled through Shan Xiong’s sword before reaching his sea of willpower, dazing him temporarily. But he was able to instantly block the vibration with his own burst of vibration and regain his consciousness.

In that manner, the two continued fighting each other with one unique ability after another. Even the very air around them started twisting and warping. Niu Baidao and the others frowned. After a moment, Niu Baidao waved his hand and created a barrier of light around the ring.

The two had been constantly stacking the vibrations they released through their attacks. If this continued, the surrounding students would start suffering as well. At first, the surrounding students were quite confused. But eventually, they saw the ring turn into dust. Just like that, the ring was replaced with a lake.

In the air, Su Yu slammed his hammer into Shan Xiong repeatedly. Shan Xiong was doing the same with his sword. With their characters, they released burst after burst of vibrations. Suddenly, a large turtle emerged from the lake with a torn shell. It fled the area with a sorry appearance.

That was a turtle at the Cloudbreach. After a moment, an octopus emerged from the lake and fled as well.

Everyone could see that the tentacles of the octopus were filled with wounds. The surrounding students were dumbstruck. They were unaware that there were beasts in the water. They could see that both beasts were at the Cloudbreach Realm, but not even them could withstand the shockwaves from the ongoing battle.

The clash continued as shockwave after shockwave was generated.

Boom!

Finally, the shadow barriers around Su Yu were broken, revealing his original appearance. Some bloody wounds were visible on his body. At the same time, Shan Xiong was also finally forced out of his ethereal state. The upper half of his clothing disintegrated, revealing a wound-ridden torso.

A loud bang rang out.

After one last clash, Su Yu was sent backward while Shan Xiong dropped into the lake below. Instantly, the lake was dyed red with blood.

“Big Brother Shan Xiong!” Shan Tianjiao exclaimed in alarm.

The two combatants were moving too fast. Before anyone knew it, Shan Xiong had dropped into the lake, dying the surface of the lake red. Meanwhile, apart from some tears on his skin, Su Yu appeared fine.

Had Shan Xiong been defeated? Shang Tianjiao couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Impossible! But right at that moment, a beam of sword light shot out of the lake straight at Su Yu.

Facing the new attack, Su Yu snorted coldly. He was no longer holding anything back. His hammer enlarged. Then, he swung it down with all his strength.

Bang!

The lake grew berserk as massive waves crashed in all directions, forcing Niu Baidao to increase the power of his barrier. As the waves crashed against the barrier, sounds of metal clashing against metal rang out.

However, the collision under the lake remained soundless. Streak after streak of sword light flickered unendingly, clashing against the continuous hammer strikes of Su Yu. After a short moment, Shan Xiong emerged from the lake. His upper body was bare as his hair whipped about wildly. With a cold look in his eyes, he stabbed his sword at Su Yu’s head.

“Piss off!”

With a roar, Su Yu unleashed the power of his acupoints. His entire body turned gold. At the same time, he released the power of his willpower, creating a storm of fire and lightning around him and Shan Xiong.

In less than three seconds, the two were separated yet again. Shan Xiong’s sword had snapped in half. His upper body was dyed red with blood, but he did not stop. Instead, he vanished into thin air yet again.

Up in the sky, Su Yu was still holding his giant hammer. He coldly said, “A mere insignificant trick. I thought you’re strong, but looks like you’re not as strong as the rumors suggested.Apart from having more trump cards, you’re nothing special.”

Even some of the Cloudbreaches present were left speechless. How was this nothing special? None of them would be able to contend against Shan Xiong if they were weaker than the seventh stage.

In fact, earlier, one of them had sneakily touched the defensive barrier around the ring. But in a split second, the stacked vibration from the ring had shattered the bones of his arm. Were these two really Skysoars?

Just the shockwaves of their battle were enough to break the bones of a third-stage Cloudbreach. Shan Xiong did not reply. Su Yu merely stomped on the air, forcing Shan Xiong to reveal himself.

Left with no choice, Shan Xiong hurriedly pulled away. He looked at Su Yu with a complicated expression. Su Yu’s combat sense was too sharp. He felt like every single trump card of his had been countered by Su Yu.

Why? Because Su Yu had even more trump cards. His vibration attacks, his willpower realm, his vanishing ability…none was useful against Su Yu. He was the one who had been seriously injured by Su Yu.

This time, even those Mountainseas and Sunmoons had complicated feelings. It wasn’t a good thing for these two to be born in the same era. Both of them had the strength to kill Cloudbreaches. Such geniuses were fighting each other, and Shan Xiong was clearly at a disadvantage.

He was losing in both physical and willpower cultivations. At that moment, Shan Xiong roared as he transformed into a man of light. He streaked forward, instantly leaving a bloody wound on Su Yu’s neck.

Even as his blood was spilled, Su Yu swung his hammer, dazing Shan Xiong temporarily and bringing Shan Xiong to a halt. He followed with a punch, sending the bloody Shan Xiong flying yet again.

At this time, the crowd looked at Su Yu again, only to be met with a scene that caused them to grimace. The deep wound on his neck had instantly closed. As Su Yu activated some of his acupoints, his body started recovering at a rapid pace. Apart from the wound on his neck, all his others wound had also vanished. Even the bloodstains on his robes faded.

“Is this all you have?” Su Yu asked indifferently.

That attack earlier was too fast. A regular Cloudbreach would probably be killed instantly. But it wasn’t enough to take Su Yu’s life.

“In that case, it’s my turn.”

The hammer in his hand transformed into a curtain of light. His eighteen characters vanished as a small world formed around him and Shan Xiong. That was a world covered in shadow barriers.

The specators could no longer see what was happening. They could only hear several groans coming from beyond the barriers. And those groans seemed to have come from Shan Xiong.

Inside the miniature world, Su Yu used his Time technique and activated his slow, tribulation, and blood characters. He far surpassed Shan Xiong in the number of character abilities he had. He also surpassed Shan Xiong in the number of martial techniques he knew. There was simply no comparing the two.

After covering Shan Xiong’s vision with illusions, Su Yu kicked and punched at Shan Xiong, leaving even more wounds on Shan Xiong’s body. He pushed his advantage and continued hitting Shan Xiong. Despite Shan Xiong’s best attempts, he was unable to break free from Su Yu’s barrage of attacks.

Rumbling sounds rang out unceasingly.

After a long while, Shan Xiong roared and released a massive eruption of willpower. The shadow barriers finally broke, revealing a pale and bloodsoaked Shan Xiong. Meanwhile, Su Yu still looked completely fine. At this moment, the result was obvious for all to see.

Shan Xiong was not Su Yu’s match. He was at a complete disadvantage.

With a smile, Su Yu said, “Senior Brother Shan, if you have any other trump cards, you better use them now or you won’t have any chance to use it anymore.”

Shan Xiong gazed at Su Yu silently. After a moment, his life force surged abruptly.

“Junior Brother!”

Jiang Tao exclaimed in alarm. Shan Xiong had ignited his blood essence. He might gain a boost of strength from that, but he would greatly harm his body doing so. He might even drop a level of cultivation if he was unlucky. It was clear that he was getting desperate.

Shan Xiong’s aura continued surging as he burned his blood essence. Abruptly, he charged Su Yu with a might that seem to even surpass Su Yu’s.

“Blood essence ignition?”

Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Su Yu faced Shan Xiong head on instead of taking evasive manoeuvres. His 360 acupoints separated from each other. Then, 144 of them, corresponding to the Sky Sundering Saber, exploded to unleash an incomparably powerful might.

Yes, Su Yu had instantly detonated 144 of his acupoints. Even Shan Xiong was shocked. An astonishing streak of saber light shot toward him.

Whoosh!

He froze and stopped moving. Behind him, a hole appeared on Niu Baidao’s barrier as the saber light instantly struck a small building several kilometers away. With blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Su Yu shut his eyes and focused on the sensation he felt at the instant he detonated his acupoints.

Yang acupoint!

He finally found it!

As for the 144 detonated acupoints, it was no big deal. He could recover in a month or two. He did not lack blood essence and heavenly source qi. This injury might seem heavy for everyone else, but it was merely a light injury for him.

He couldn’t be bothered to drag on the fight with Shan Xiong. This opponent was quite troublesome to fight. Thus, it was better for him to end it with one hit.

After a while, Su Yu reopened his eyes with a smile on his face. Opposite him, Shan Xiong remained in the posture. He continued gazing at Su Yu with disbelief. After a moment, his body exploded.

A single character appeared in midair. Right that moment, Jiang Tao reached out and grabbed the character. After doing so, he looked at Su Yu with a complicated expression.

Defeat. Absolute defeat.

Shan Xiong’s physical body had been completely destroyed. His sea of willpower had probably suffered a heavy damage as well. Meanwhile, Su Yu had sacrificed 144 of his acupoints.

However, everyone could see that Su Yu would have won even without paying such a massive price. Thus, nobody understood his choice.

Amid the crowd, the first master of the Bai Family seemed to understand what Su Yu was doing. He looked at Su Yu with shock. What a ruthless young man. Did Su Yu discover something? Was Shan Xiong merely a convenient excuse for him to do this?

Su Yu smiled and said, “Senior Brother Jiang, that character is mine.”

Jiang Tao clenched his teeth and said, “What do you want? We can give you anything for this character. Without his body, he will die for real if he loses this character as well.”

“That character is mine.”

Su Yu replied with a calm voice. Since the bet had been made, they naturally had to follow it. Why should he care if Shan Xiong would die from it?

Silence descended. Shan Xiong had suffered a crushing defeat. According to their previous bet, his character now belonged to Su Yu. But without the character, it was unlikely that Shan Xiong would be able to survive.
