252: Three-tenths thick soil is indestructible!

Lu Jiuyuan stood with his sword, breathing slightly, but his posture remained as tall and straight as a pine tree.

He glanced at the blood dripping from the tip of his sword and said indifferently, “My Three Qi were cultivated day and night with great effort, tempered a hundred times over!

Your Eight Qi, however, were absorbed through shortcuts; they are not your own. How can your control over them be as effortless as mine?

True Qi that is impure is ultimately an Outer Dao.

An Yunshan, your death is nigh!”

An Yunshan looked up and laughed loudly, his gaunt face filled with madness. “Outer Dao? Hahaha! What Outer Dao? It’s just about who wins and who loses! But even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!”

He suddenly slapped his chest, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood. The vital blood did not fall to the ground but instead floated in mid-air, instantly absorbed by the chaotic Eight Qi in his palm!

The next moment, his Aura surged uncontrollably at an abnormal speed. The eight streams of True Qi no longer circulated but instead intertwined and collided like eight raging poisonous Dragons, emitting destructive fluctuations!

He was willing to destroy his Foundation and detonate all the heterogeneous True Qi in his body to perish with Lu Jiuyuan!

“Let’s die together! Star Absorbing Skill breaks the stars, Eight Qi… Annihilation!!”

An Yunshan, carrying the violent, chaotic, and dazzling True Qi around him, charged towards Lu Jiuyuan like an exploding colorful sun!

Wherever he passed, the ground cracked, and the air shrieked, his Aura terrifying to the extreme!

Facing this suicidal, desperate strike, Lu Jiuyuan’s eyes burst with sharp light. He knew that evasion was no longer possible, as an area of several tens of feet was under the lock of the opponent’s self-detonating Qi mechanism!

In a flash, he made his decision.

“Invincible Vajra, impervious to all methods!”

Lu Jiuyuan let out a deep shout. The majestic True Qi from his Thick Earth Vajra chapter circulated wildly in an unprecedented manner!

Instead of being released to harm the enemy, it instantly reversed, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all converging, compressing, and solidifying within his Meridians, flesh, bones, and even the surface of his skin!

“Om—!”

A strange tremor sounded from within him.

The next moment, dazzling golden light burst forth from every one of his pores!

His skin, hair, eyes, and even his blue robe were instantly dyed a pure and profound dark gold!

He appeared as if cast from an ancient, indestructible gold, solemn, solid, and eternal!

A mighty Aura, capable of repelling all evil and making all methods difficult to harm, soared into the sky, clashing with An Yunshan’s chaotic and destructive Aura!

This was precisely the third stage of Three-Part Yuan Qi, the Thick Earth Invincible Vajra Body, which originated from Cheng Shifei and was adapted by him for his own use!

Just as Lu Jiuyuan transformed into a golden body—

“Boom, rumble, rumble—!!!”

The “colorful sun” that An Yunshan’s body had become completely erupted!

Eight types of heterogeneous True Qi, with completely different attributes, originally coexisting in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint, were now forcibly detonated, producing unimaginable destructive energy!

Ice and fire intertwined, sharpness and massiveness collided, agility and ferocity annihilated, yin and Weird tore apart… Blinding light instantly swallowed everything,

followed by a terrifying roar loud enough to shatter eardrums!

An incredibly violent energy shockwave spread out frantically in all directions in a spherical shape!

The first to bear the brunt was that dark golden figure!

A destructive torrent of energy fiercely washed over Lu Jiuyuan’s golden body!

Heat, cold, tearing, crushing, permeating… Eight distinct destructive forces, like eight mad evil Dragons, tried to tear this golden body into fragments!

“Clang, clang, clang—!!!”

The energy impact colliding with the golden body produced an ear-piercing screech, like thousands of metal blades scraping and slashing!

The golden figure was pushed backward smoothly by the incomparable immense force, his feet plowing two deep furrows in the already shattered ground, sending gravel flying!

The golden light on the surface of the golden body flickered intensely, appearing and disappearing, like a golden bell in a storm, enduring endless bombardment.

The energy, capable of instantly vaporizing steel and collapsing mountains, was actually endured by this seemingly slender golden body!

However, the power of Eight Qi Annihilation far exceeded imagination!

Especially the strange corrosive power originating from the Star Absorbing Skill contained within it, like maggots clinging to bone, constantly penetrating and eroding the golden body’s radiance.

Lu Jiuyuan groaned, a trace of pale golden blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He felt as if countless red-hot needles were piercing his body, and like profound ice was freezing his Meridians. Eight distinct pains assailed him simultaneously, impacting his will and eroding his True Qi.

At the core of the explosion, An Yunshan’s figure had already been completely torn apart and vaporized by the terrifying energy he detonated, leaving no trace of his body!

The shockwave lasted for several breaths before gradually subsiding.

Smoke and dust slowly settled.

The originally elegant and magnificent courtyard had now completely turned into a scorched ruin with a radius of over ten zhang. All the pavilions, towers, rockeries, and corridors had vanished, leaving only a shocking large pit.

At the center of the pit, a dark golden figure stood majestically.

The golden light on his body had dimmed considerably, and his blue robe was tattered, turning into scorched strips of cloth hanging on him, revealing the equally dim but still intact golden skin beneath.

His face was pale, and that trace of golden blood was particularly striking at the corner of his lips.

Lu Jiuyuan slowly raised his hand and wiped away the golden blood from the corner of his mouth. His dim golden body gradually returned to its normal skin color.

He took a deep breath. He was severely injured and would need at least half an hour of sleep to recover!

The newly created martial art, when facing these pervasive self-detonating attacks, still had many flaws and needed careful modification.

“What a truly exhilarating battle!”

Lu Jiuyuan lay in the pit, looking at the bright moon in the sky. It was the first time someone had pushed him to such an extent in a head-on confrontation!

Just as Lu Jiuyuan, in the deep pit, bathed in moonlight, fell into a tired yet satisfied slumber, four figures silently infiltrated the now ruined An Residence.

They were the Four Great Constables of the Six Doors: Emotionless, Iron Hand, Life Chaser, and Cold Blood.

“Search separately and meticulously! An Yunshan is cunning; leave no traces and miss no spot!”

Emotionless calmly gave the order. She sat in her wheelchair, her eyes sharp, scanning the ravaged estate.

The four spread out, each searching a different area.

The four were highly efficient, moving swiftly and professionally, bypassing the formidable figure in the deep pit whom they did not wish to disturb for now.

However, as time passed, the four’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

“Nothing.” Iron Hand said in a deep voice, having found nothing.

“Same here. The accounts are as clean as a freshly wiped table.” Life Chaser spread his hands, somewhat helpless.

Cold Blood leaped out from what appeared to be a cellar entrance, shaking his head: “Nothing!”

Emotionless’s fingertips gently tapped the armrest of her wheelchair, her eyes profound: “An Yunshan, being such a cautious person, wouldn’t possibly leave no backup plan.

Either the evidence has been destroyed by him in advance, or… it’s hidden in a place we absolutely wouldn’t expect!”

“No need to search further.”

“Since An Yunshan dared to wait for him here and was willing to perish together, he wouldn’t leave obvious incriminating evidence.

This place is not suitable for prolonged stay. Let’s withdraw.”

The four figures, just as they had arrived, silently blended into the night, leaving the area.

“What a truly energetic day!” Lu Jiuyuan opened his eyes, stretched, revealing his smooth arms.
