41: Chapter 41 Utter Madness, Thunder Blade Slaying Enemies
Then, without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Bai immediately raised his blade and charged, his target aimed directly at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao's strength might indeed be very formidable, but no matter how strong he was, he was still only at the Third-Rank Martial Artist realm.
Without the enhancement of Qi and Blood Power and mental energy, many of his methods could not be executed.
Against such a Third-Rank Martial Artist, why would Zhou Bai feel any fear?
Moreover, having been suddenly attacked by this Qin Hao just now, even a clay man has three parts of fire in him, let alone Zhou Bai.
"You brat!"
Seeing Zhou Bai charge directly at him, Qin Hao felt as if he were being provoked, and a cold expression surfaced on his face.
"Fine, if you're looking for death, don't blame me!"
Next, Qin Hao wanted to drive his remaining flying swords again to deal with Zhou Bai.
However, his mental energy was already insufficient.
*Swoosh!!!*
Qin Hao's brow furrowed slightly; then, without thinking much, he immediately took out two more A-rank battle swords from his storage space.
With an A-rank battle sword in each hand, Qin Hao quickly collided with Zhou Bai.
This time, Zhou Bai showed no restraint, directly using the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber. The domineering power of thunder condensed into a physical form, making Qin Hao feel a faint sense of oppression.
The powerful force of thunder was so intimidating that it left Qin Hao's body feeling somewhat numb.
Although Qin Hao had already completed Ninth Bone Tempering and his Qi and Blood Power circulation efficiency had reached the limit,
Qin Hao had consumed a vast amount of Qi and Blood Power after continuous intense battles.
No matter how efficient the circulation was, it could not generate more Qi and Blood Power out of thin air to support Qin Hao in using top-tier martial techniques.
After two collisions, Qin Hao was shaken back several steps.
Not far away, Shen Ninger was also completely dazed. Why had they started fighting directly?
This was Qin Hao. What was Zhou Bai thinking? Even in poor condition, it was still Qin Hao...
However, Brother Zhou Bai actually seemed to be suppressing Qin Hao a bit.
Could it be...
"You brat, how dare you provoke the majesty of a god! You have successfully enraged me!"
The repelled Qin Hao was even more consumed by rage, his eyes filled with fury.
As the ace freshman of Imperial Martial Arts University and a seed genius of a Martial Saint Family, when had Qin Hao ever suffered such a loss?
Being pushed back by a freshman of the same rank was, to him, a great humiliation.
"Just you wait, once I recover..."
Qin Hao gritted his teeth, then immediately took out a top-tier recovery spirit pill from his storage space.
In his heart, he had already decided what methods he would use to deal with Zhou Bai once he regained his status.
When that time came, he would use his True Martial Heaven-Flipping Seal to blast this guy into an idiot!
*Swoosh!!!!*
However, before Qin Hao could swallow the pill, Zhou Bai had already turned into an afterimage and charged in front of him. The blood shadow battle saber, imbued with SS-rank Dutian Divine Thunder, slashed onto Qin Hao's arm.
*Tear!!!*
Following a violent tearing sound, Qin Hao's arm was directly severed by Zhou Bai's blood shadow battle saber.
"No, my hand!!!!"
Seeing his hand severed, Qin Hao roared in anger, nearly losing all rationality.
Next, Qin Hao frantically burned his remaining Qi and Blood. His entire aura continued to climb, and the surrounding space seemed to become more solidified.
Qin Hao madly used his remaining hand, wielding an A-rank battle blade to slash desperately at Zhou Bai.
"This kid is going berserk!"
Feeling Qin Hao's increasingly terrifying aura, Zhou Bai's expression changed slightly.
Burning his Qi and Blood Power, Qin Hao's entire body emitted a bloodthirsty hue, and his every move carried immense destructive power.
His overall strength seemed to have increased several times over.
After just a few rounds of collision, Zhou Bai felt his Qi and Blood churning and his body going numb.
Because Qin Hao had pushed his spatial suppression power to the limit, Zhou Bai's movement techniques were hard to utilize effectively. Wounds slowly began to appear on Zhou Bai's body, and his condition grew increasingly sluggish.
"My level is still too low. A freak with Ninth Bone Tempering going completely mad is too hard to block..."
Zhou Bai thought to himself, his expression becoming more solemn.
Qin Hao was originally an invincible Third-Rank with Ninth Bone Tempering. Although he was out of Qi and Blood Power and mental energy, his multiple Bone Temperings gave him an excellent physical constitution.
Wearing two sets of a-grade battle armor and seemingly having practiced body-tempering techniques, his physical strength was comparable to a top-tier Fourth-Tier Fierce Beast.
Not to mention, by burning his Qi and Blood Power and even beginning to burn his life force, he was like an invincible monster.
"No, if I continue to stay locked in combat, even if I can wear this guy down, I'll fall into a state of total exhaustion. When that time comes..."
Zhou Bai pondered in his heart.
"In that case, let's settle this cleanly!"
Next, Zhou Bai immediately pushed his mental energy to the limit and domineeringly blasted it toward Qin Hao.
"So painful!"
Qin Hao, who had fallen into madness, had almost zero mental defense. He instantly felt a sharp, stabbing pain, and his body stiffened for a moment.
"Nine Heavens Thunder Saber!!!"
Zhou Bai roared in his heart. The Qi and Blood Power inside his body circulated frantically, and one after another, bolts of swift thunder power were added to the blood shadow battle saber.
"First layer overlap!!"
"Second layer overlap!!"
...
"Sixth layer overlap!!"
Zhou Bai's body was like thunder. The blood shadow battle saber accumulated layer upon layer of thunder power, and his aura surged rapidly.
In just two breaths, Zhou Bai had overlapped six layers.
This was precisely one of Zhou Bai's trump cards.
Before entering the selection tournament, Zhou Bai had spent the 300 learning points he had earned through hard study to upgrade the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber to the Advanced level.
He could overlap six layers, instantly gaining a five-fold combat power boost.
Of course, the consumption was also immense. Current Zhou Bai could only execute this one strike...
In an instant, the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber, with its six layers of overlapped power, domineeringly slashed onto Qin Hao's body.
*Tear!!!*
A violent tearing sound rang out as the two sets of a-grade battle armor on Qin Hao were shattered by Zhou Bai's strike.
"How... how... how is this possible..."
Feeling that powerful force, Qin Hao slowly looked up, his body trembling slightly.
*Crack!!!!*
A moment later, the blood shadow battle saber, carrying terrifying thunder power, sliced Qin Hao's body in half at the waist.
Qin Hao's face was full of shock, and then he disappeared from the Desolate Mountain Forest...
"Brother Zhou Bai, you... you eliminated Qin Hao..."
Looking at the scene before her, Shen Ninger felt as if she were in a daze...
"Quick, take me away quickly. Otherwise, any random fierce beast could finish us off..."
Zhou Bai's voice was hoarse and trembling.
"We still have to make it to the elimination rounds..."
...
At this moment, the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena was deathly silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the scene on Screen 01 in disbelief.
That invincible Imperial Martial Arts University ace freshman, Qin Hao, had been... eliminated...
"Wuwuwu, Qin Hao has fallen. Qin Hao, whom we placed so much hope in, fell in the selection tournament..."
"Shit... amazing, so freaking amazing! Zhou Bai is invincible..."
"Zhou Bai, are you trying to ruin Imperial Martial Arts University?"
"Laughter. If Qin Hao had shown even a bit of respect for Zhou Bai, or even taken a recovery spirit pill in advance, it wouldn't have ended like this..."
"I'm numb. Qin Hao, that loser, provoked someone else while he was in such a state. What was he posing for? Imperial Martial Arts University's five-year winning streak..."
"Fuck... I told you not to pick up the lantern..."
After a moment of silence, the entire Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena erupted into a mountain-shaking wave of discussion.
...
