Chapter 101: Chapter ?1 Boiling Qi and Blood! Iron Beast Ghost Face!_l

Su Changkong was betting that Liu Bairen wanted to capture him alive and wouldn’t let him die so easily—his gamble had paid off!

Liu Bairen’s sword had not thrust towards Su Changkong’s throat or heart, but rather his right shoulder!

“Puh!”

Even though Su Changkong was wearing a golden ring armor, it only slightly delayed the piercing thrust of Liu Bairen’s sword, which penetrated through, impaling Su Changkong’s shoulder and protruding out from the back.

This was the first time Su Changkong had ever suffered such a severe injury since he had started his martial path.

“Crack, crack!”

Su Changkong activated the Turtle Breath Technique, his muscles and bones clamping tightly, locking the sword that had impaled his shoulder in place. As he wrapped his right arm around the blade, locking it firmly in place, it was fortunate he was wearing golden ring armor, which protected his arm. Otherwise, had he dared to do such a thing, a mere flex of strength from Liu Bairen would have been enough to slice his arm into pieces with the sharp blade!

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Even with the golden ring armor, as Liu Bairen vibrated his arm, channeling his strength in and out, the longsword trembled and Sword Qi burst forth, slicing through the golden ring armor at Su Changkong’s arm, leaving behind crisscrossed wounds, deep enough to reveal bone.

But at this moment, Su Changkong’s eyes were bloodshot, a fierce light flashing within them—he knew this was his only chance!

“Not good!”

Liu Bairen felt a warning rise within his heart, sensing danger. He couldn’t care to retrieve his weapon and simply let go of the longsword, retreating swiftly.

But at that moment, Su Changkong extended his left arm towards Liu Bairen, his muscles tensing as he flexed his wrist downwards with force!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Three muffled sounds of mechanical triggers sounded simultaneously, accompanied by the noise of moving parts. From the sleeves of Su Changkong, three small metal arrows, each half a foot long, shot out in rapid succession, aiming straight for Liu Bairen!

Liu Bairen’s reaction was extremely quick; his body swayed to dodge an arrow, while with a sweep of his robe, he deflected another that targeted his face. However, an arrow aimed at his left shoulder was unavoidable.

“Puh!”

The arrow struck Liu Bairen’s left shoulder. As a martial artist at the Qi-Blood Realm, his muscles and skin were stronger than those at the Divine Bravery Stage, and the Qi-Blood Veil on the surface of his body weakened the arrow’s force, allowing only half of the arrowhead to penetrate his shoulder.

“Damn it…”

Liu Bairen was furious. He was a martial artist of the Qi-Blood Realm-how could he have been injured by a junior?

But before Liu Bairen could curse in his anger, his face flushed red, and he felt an intense burning sensation spread from the wound throughout his body, making his blood feel as if it were boiling like gasoline, catching fire!

“Poison… there’s poison?” Liu Bairen couldn’t fail to understand-the arrow was poisoned, and not just any poison, but one that could threaten martial artists of the Qi-Blood Realm!

Boiling Blood Scatter was particularly terrifying because it targeted the blood, especially when a martial artist of the Qi-Blood Realm activated the power of Qi and Blood, causing the rapidly moving blood to spread the toxin throughout the body in no time.

“Puh!”

in just a breath or two, Liu Bairen’s blood boiled over, his skin turned a cooked shrimp-like red, and his heart convulsively throbbed with pain, spurting a mouthful of blood involuntarily!

“Not good!”

The two martial artists nearby, who were preventing Su Changkong from escaping, also realized Liu Bairen’s condition was not right, but Su Changkong had already moved.

Five Animal Frolics. Swinging Arm Ape!

Su Changkong took a step forward, his face ferocious. Ignoring the bleeding wounds on his right shoulder and arm, his arms stretched out, trailing a series of afterimages as he launched a barrage of furious punches.

Liu Bairen wanted to defend, but every time he activated his True Qi and Qi and Blood, he felt an explosion of discomfort in his body, causing his movements to slow, and he could only watch helplessly as the relentless punches came at him!

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!”

Su Changkong, like a raging ape, pounded like a drum on Liu Bairen’s body-at his chest, abdomen, head-within a single breath, Liu Bairen’s weakest spots were hammered by Su Changkong’s heavy punches!

“Crack,crack,crack,crack!”

The crisp sound of breaking bones echoed as Liu Bairen’s chest caved in, piercing his heart, his head deformed and twisted, his body tossed around like a sack ravaged by a giant beast, blood spurting wildly.

“Am I… going to die here?” Liu Bairen’s consciousness was blurring and dissipating. He wouldn’t have imagined that just seconds ago, he was on top, but now the situation had dramatically turned around, reversed!

Even the white-robed young man rushing forward on sensing something was amiss was hit by a round object. Looking closely, he was stunned-that was an eyeball. Under Su Changkong’s heavy punches, one of Liu Bairen’s eyes had been forced out of its socket and had fallen on him!

The white-robed young man stopped in his tracks, a chill rising in his heart. Su Changkong was only three steps away from him, his bloodshot eyes glaring coldly, sending shivers down his spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Without any pause, Su Changkong took advantage of the moment, combining the sleeve crossbow with Boiling Blood Scatter to defeat Liu Bairen in one fell swoop. His left hand grabbed the longsword embedded in his right shoulder and yanked it out, blood spurting, staining the white-robed young man’s robe with blood.

“Puh-chi!”

With a sweep of his hand and a thrust of his sword, the terrified white-robed young man, who was too stunned to react, had his head easily severed.

“One more left!”

Su Changkong’s eyes, filled with murderous intent, turned towards the remaining blue-robed man as he walked towards him with his sword in hand. Despite the blood still flowing from his wounds, the killing intent he radiated almost solidified into substance.

“Chief Liu… is dead?”

The blue-robed man trembled, his eyes showing disbelief and fear. He couldn t have imagined that Liu Bairen, who had reached the Qi-Blood Realm, would be killed in front of him by Su Changkong. The shattered bones and eyeball thrown about caused his teeth to chatter and his legs to go weak!
