Chapter 560 - 338: Quasi-Divine Skill
The "Strongest Punch"—a remote-tracking attack that locks onto its target!
Su Ze’s heart pounded with excitement. Just the thought of it was thrilling.
And so, that’s exactly what he did.
He fused four skills into one: the newly simulated "Weakness Attack," along with "Needle Strike," Furious Waves, and Impact Cannon (Flame Cannon).
Considering the electrocution had been ineffective against the Golden Falcon before, he decided not to power the Impact Cannon with his Thunder God Body this time. Instead, he used the Rank-5 wondrous item he had obtained earlier, the Bathed in Fire Feathers, to charge the Impact Cannon with flames.
A feathered exotic beast like this should be vulnerable to fire.
Combined with a series of other buffs—the destructive effect of Ant Power, the boost from "Expansion," and the bonus from Bloodthirsty—this would be a punch that surpassed Su Ze’s absolute peak!
The "Weakness Attack" skill allowed Su Ze to perceive a weak point on the Golden Falcon.
Although there was only a single weak point, it was more than enough. Su Ze only had enough strength to throw this ultimate punch once.
The moment Su Ze locked onto the weak point, the Golden Falcon’s golden feathers bristled. It sensed the imminent danger!
Without a moment’s hesitation, it shot backward!
But once "Weakness Attack" locked on, there was no escape.
Su Ze aimed for the weak point and unleashed his "Strongest Punch." A spectral fist, wreathed in roaring flames, shot out and flew straight toward the Golden Falcon.
"Die, you feathered bastard!"
The weak point targeted by "Weakness Attack" was on the Golden Falcon’s abdomen. But since Su Ze was in his "Expansion" state, his fist alone was dozens of meters wide. The resulting spectral fist was therefore massive, almost completely engulfing the upper half of the Golden Falcon’s body.
BOOM!
The spectral fist struck the Golden Falcon without fail.
A piercing shriek echoed from within the fiery explosion. The Golden Falcon’s abdomen burst like a balloon, blown apart by the single punch!
Charred golden feathers scattered through the air. The Golden Falcon’s internal organs were completely pulverized as its severed head, wings, and legs rained down from the sky.
Su Ze quickly deactivated his Bloodthirsty skill. He had to prevent it from devouring all the energy in the Golden Falcon’s body upon its death, or he wouldn’t be able to draw out an extract.
At the same time, he shot out several Gravity Chains in quick succession, pulling all of the Golden Falcon’s severed limbs before him.
Looking at the charred remains before him, Su Ze could clearly sense a trace of life coming from the Golden Falcon’s head.
’This feathered bastard... it’s still not completely dead?’
The life force of a Rank-6 exotic beast was truly formidable. It was still stubbornly clinging to life with only its head remaining. If he let it be, it would probably recover to its peak strength given enough time.
However, the Golden Falcon couldn’t cause any more trouble in this state. Su Ze finished it off with a "Needle Strike" combined with an electric shock.
And with that, a Beast King that had roamed Blue Star for a thousand years had finally fallen.
Seeing the Golden Falcon fall, the other Rank-6 exotic beasts began to retreat, losing all will to fight.
The Golden Falcon was, for all intents and purposes, the true king of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. The other Rank-6 exotic beasts normally had to act according to its whims. Thus, its death sent a massive shock through them. Each one grew terrified, fearing they would share the Golden Falcon’s fate.
The Venerable Powerhouses of the Blue Star Party had only been able to barely hold their own against these Rank-6 exotic beasts by relying on their numerical advantage and Rank-6 wondrous items. Having fought for so long, all of them were wounded and nearing their limits.
They were in no condition to stop the exotic beasts from leaving. In fact, they were secretly relieved.
As for Su Ze, he had ended his Bloodthirsty skill early to secure the Golden Falcon’s extract. This meant he had lost the skill’s full-stack bonus, causing his power to drop significantly.
In his current state, he was no match for five Rank-6 exotic beasts, so he certainly wasn’t going to try and stop them.
With all the Rank-6 Beast Kings from the Myriad Beast Mountain Range retreating, the other exotic beasts from the mountain range followed their leaders and withdrew as well.
The pressure from the beast tide vanished in an instant, and the city behind them was finally safe.
Of course, the beast tide wasn’t over. Only the exotic beasts from the Myriad Beast Mountain Range had retreated. Beasts from other regions were still attacking the Lin Hua Continent from every direction.
Because of this, Chen Suifeng and the other Venerable Powerhouses didn’t have time for a long conversation. They gathered around Su Ze, exchanged a few words to thank him for his support, and explained that they had to leave quickly to reinforce other locations.
It was clear that these high-ranking members of the Blue Star Party were incredibly polite and warm toward Su Ze. None of them pulled rank based on age or seniority, a testament to how thoroughly Su Ze’s strength had won them over.
An eighteen-year-old Venerable Powerhouse who could kill a Rank-6 Beast King like the Golden Falcon—his combat prowess and potential alone left them in awe. They knew that Su Ze’s future accomplishments would be far beyond anything they could imagine.
Moreover, as senior members of the Blue Star Party, they all knew that Su Ze was the one Mr. Ke considered the hope of the Human Race. He was a person the Blue Star Party was meant to support and nurture with all its resources.
Chen Suifeng asked, "Are you coming with us?"
"Can you guys manage? If it’s not too urgent, I’d like to take care of this first," Su Ze said, gesturing to the Golden Falcon’s corpse.
"As long as we don’t run into another large group of Rank-6 exotic beasts, we should be fine," Chen Suifeng said pragmatically. "Why don’t you stay here and process your spoils? That way you can also guard against a counterattack. If we encounter a Rank-6 we can’t handle, I’ll contact you."
"Deal," Su Ze agreed instantly.
Once he absorbed the Golden Falcon’s extract and acquired the "Weakness Attack" skill, his strength would increase even further. Then, even without relying on his Bloodthirsty skill, he should be able to defeat most Rank-6 exotic beasts.
And when that time came, reinforcing Chen Suifeng and the others would be much more effective.
