9: A Qi Refining Realm cultivator defies a True Essence Realm cultivator, shattering them with a single punch!
[Warning! Warning! High-spec lifeform detected!]
[Race: Bone Marauder (Adult)]
[Realm: First Level of the True Essence Realm!]
[Abilities: Supersonic Movement, Four-Blade Slash, Soul Harvest, Bone Regeneration...]
[Danger Level: Lethal! Host's current strength is no match! Immediate escape recommended!]
The system's alarm blared urgently!
True Essence Realm!
This was completely beyond the scope of what the Gang Qi Realm could handle!
It was like an Infant who had just learned to walk trying to challenge a world boxing champion...
There was no chance of winning at all!
"Hiss..."
The Bone Marauder let out a piercing hiss; its target was clear—Su Jue.
It felt the vigorous Life blood within Su Jue; that was its most coveted food!
Whoosh!
Without the slightest hesitation, the Bone Marauder's figure vanished from its spot instantly.
Supersonic Movement!
When it reappeared, it was already in front of Su Jue.
Four massive bone blades, coming from four different angles, sealed off all of Su Jue's retreats and slashed down toward his head!
Too fast!
So fast that Su Jue's eyes could not even capture its movements!
Inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Fortress.
Ao Yuan stood up with a start, his Saint King's pressure erupting uncontrollably, causing the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Fortress to tremble!
"Ao Shang! You're looking for Death!"
He instantly understood what had happened.
A wave of towering rage rushed to his head!
He was about to tear through space and descend upon the Storm Star.
"Stay where you are."
Elizabeth's icy voice stopped him.
"Ao Yuan, do you want him to live under your protection for his entire Life?"
"But that's a True Essence Realm monster! He's only just reached the Gang Qi Realm!" Ao Yuan roared in anger.
"So what?" Elizabeth's voice didn't waver in the slightest. "A true dragon dares to face any challenge."
"If he can't even break through this desperate situation, then he isn't worthy of possessing your bloodline."
"He will die!"
"Then let him die."
Elizabeth's voice was cold to the extreme.
But her dragon body, which was staring intently at the magic mirror and trembling slightly, betrayed her inner turmoil.
Storm Star, inside the cave.
The shadow of Death had already enveloped Su Jue's entire body.
Four bone blades, carrying a sharpness that could tear through anything, were close at hand.
His protective Gang Qi was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper before these bone blades.
Flee?
It was too late.
Tank it?
Certain Death.
In this Life-or-Death moment.
Su Jue's mind suddenly cleared.
[Ultimate Analysis activated!]
[Analyzing ‘Bone Marauder’ attack pattern...]
[Four-Blade Slash consists of 372 subtle movements; energy flows between the four bone blades at a specific frequency...]
[Weakness found!]
[In the 0.0001 seconds when the first and third bone blades cross, their energy flow will produce a brief stagnation point!]
[This point is the moment when its entire body's strength is most uncoordinated!]
[Weakness locked! Counterattack plan generated!]
[Guiding the power of the Law of Destruction within the Host's body, abandon all defense, avoid all blades by a hair's breadth, and attack this point with full force!]
This was a madman's plan!
Under the siege of four blades, to abandon defense and proactively strike a fleeting weakness?
What kind of terrifying calculation power, courage, and control over one's own body would this require?
Su Jue didn't understand those fancy calculations; he only knew two words.
[Execute!]
At the very instant the four bone blades were about to slice him into pieces.
Su Jue's body moved.
His tiny body, using a bizarre footwork that a mortal could absolutely never achieve, wove through the crisscrossing shadows of the blades.
The first bone blade grazed his scalp, cutting off a few strands of hair.
The second bone blade slashed past his ribs, leaving a shallow white mark on his body.
The third and fourth bone blades swept past both sides of his body almost simultaneously.
A hair's breadth!
A split second between Life and Death!
He had dodged all lethal attacks!
And in the moment he passed through the web of blades, his tightly clenched little fist had already accumulated all its power.
The power of the Law of Destruction—that wisp of dark golden energy from Ao Yuan's origin—was actively guided by him and covered the surface of his fist.
Target, locked!
Right at that point of energy stagnation!
"Break... for me!"
Su Jue let out a roar in his heart.
His fist struck with unerring precision against the Bone Marauder's chest, which was composed of bones!
Boom!
A dull, massive sound erupted within the narrow cave.
Su Jue's little fist, wrapped in the dark golden power of the Law of Destruction, collided solidly with the Bone Marauder's indestructible sternum.
In the next instant, the Bone Marauder's movements froze.
Its eye sockets, burning with ghostly blue flames, stared fixedly at the tiny human Infant before it, filled with confusion and bewilderment.
It couldn't understand.
How could its Four-Blade Slash have missed?
And how could this little thing possibly break through its bone defense?
A second later.
Centered on Su Jue's fist, spiderweb-like fine cracks rapidly spread across the Bone Marauder's sternum.
The laws that composed its body, under the erosion of the Law of Destruction, began to collapse and disintegrate from their most basic structure!
A chain reaction occurred.
Crack... crack... Bang!
That five-meter-tall Bone Marauder with its terrifying aura was like a piece of shattered porcelain.
Starting from the chest, it shattered inch by inch.
First the sternum, then the bone blades of its limbs, and finally its skull.
In less than a second, its massive body turned into a pile of pale bone powder in mid-air and drifted down.
Leaving only a fist-sized core, shimmering with ghostly blue light, floating in mid-air.
That was its demon core.
A True Essence Realm demon core!
The whole process was both fast and bizarre.
Inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Fortress, in front of the magic mirror.
Time seemed to stand still.
All the dragons who had been gloating and waiting to see Su Jue cut into pieces were now holding a single posture, motionless.
Their divine senses were a complete blank.
Their thoughts had completely crashed.
What happened?
What... just happened?
The Bone Marauder... just like that... gone?
Turned into powder by that little squirt's single punch?
"No... this... this is an illusion! It must be an illusion!"
A Thunder Punishment Dragon shook its head frantically, unable to believe what it was seeing.
"That was a True Essence Realm Bone Marauder! A little brat! How... how could he..."
"That punch... I didn't see it wrong, did I? He... he actually invoked the power of laws?"
"It's the Law of Destruction! Such pure Law of Destruction! It's the bloodline power of the Imperial Father!"
"But he's only in the Gang Qi Realm! How could he possibly understand and utilize laws!"
