Chapter 1890 - 1976: Shaolin 72 Ultimate Skills
One must admit, even Master Hui Kong felt a moment of surprise. He hadn’t expected that the young Su Xuan would be able to spar with him for three hundred moves without falling behind. Truly, heroes emerge from youth!
Master Hui Kong was well aware that while he hadn’t used his full power, neither had Su Xuan. This level of combat ability and cultivation truly made Master Hui admire Su Xuan’s skills.
"My goodness, what is Su Xuan’s true power!"
Watching from above the arena, the Luoshen Sect felt genuine admiration seeing Su Xuan stand his ground against Master Hui Kong for three hundred moves. Although he had always known Su Xuan was formidable, he wasn’t clear on just how strong he truly was.
Now, seeing him hold his own against one of the titans of the entire martial arts world was truly astonishing!
As Su Xuan and Master Hui Kong’s palms collided, they both were pushed back several steps. Today, Su Xuan felt truly exhilarated. Even though he had been set up, he was genuinely happy because after this battle, he felt truly invigorated.
Since stepping into the Second Rank of Ancestor Returning, Su Xuan had rarely encountered such significant battles, especially against opponents of such caliber.
The battle in the desert was satisfying but there he fought many at once, focusing on killing rather than engaging. But battling Master Hui Kong found Su Xuan thoroughly enjoying the fight.
"The Shaolin 72 Ultimate Skills truly live up to their reputation. Master, let our match end here. If we continue, neither of us will win!"
Su Xuan truly did not wish to clash with Master Hui Kong. Beginners of Hui Kong’s caliber represented a true grandmaster. Even if he won, it would not be meaningful!
Su Xuan understood that Master Hui Kong had been used by others. The so-called Timely Rain was deceitful enough to trap even Master Hui Kong.
"Amitabha, Benefactor Su, truly you are a young hero, possessing such tolerance and spirit at such a young age!"
In fact, Hui Kong admired and respected Su Xuan as well. After all, Su Xuan’s strength was truly formidable. Even without resorting to his mysterious swordsmanship, he was able to fight to a draw with him. If he unleashed his unpredictable sword skills, it would indeed be unmatched in dominance!
"Let’s cease this here. I have no desire to become an enemy of Shaolin!"
Su Xuan said calmly.
"Kid, give me back my brother’s life!"
At that moment, Tu Su suddenly hurled a large iron hammer at Su Xuan, his body instantly leaping forward as he swung another hammer towards Su Xuan!
"Big Brother Su, watch out!"
In a flash, Luo Tianyi’s heart leapt to her throat. Anyone could see that the fierce battle between Su Xuan and Master Hui Kong had drained them. If not, Su Xuan wouldn’t have suggested a truce. Continuing the battle would have been exhausting without resorting to assassination moves. Su Xuan, towards someone like Hui Kong, a monk, could hardly make lethal attacks, so naturally, he wouldn’t go hard on him!
Yet Tu Su seized the moment when both were about to cease hostilities, refusing to let go of the opportunity. At this critical moment when Su Xuan’s old strength was nearly exhausted and new strength not yet born, Tu Su struck, with a massive hammer aiming directly at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan’s right hand suddenly opened, forming a surge of Dark Strength in his palm and striking out forcefully. The enormous power from that hammer instantly built into a sweeping force, spreading outward.
Su Xuan’s body was knocked back by the hammer’s force, crashing into a rack filled with various weapons, just as Tu Su had anticipated. Su Xuan’s proposal of a truce meant he had released all his defenses and was focusing on gathering his internal power to recover. He wasn’t worried about a Shaolin master launching a sneak attack.
But Su Xuan hadn’t expected such shamelessness from the Unrivaled Sect!
"Big Brother Su, watch out!"
Luo Tianyi suddenly leapt up, a longsword drawing from its scabbard, appearing like a fairy before Su Xuan as Tu Su swung his hammer down in that crucial moment!
The hammer was infused with huge Qi Force; even if it didn’t kill Su Xuan, it could certainly cripple one of his arms.
Bang! A sound of collision rang out. As the hammer struck Luo Tianyi’s sword, the sword shattered instantly, and the vast Qi Force sent Luo Tianyi flying!
"Wow..."
Luo Tianyi spat out a mouthful of blood!
"You’re courting death!"
Su Xuan swiftly rotated, delivering a flying kick to Tu Su’s chin, sending Tu Su spinning backward to the ground with a thud!
"Pff!"
In that instant, Su Xuan too spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly injured!
"Protect the Sect Master!"
In that moment, Pan Shengan and his men drew their swords, encircling Su Xuan!
"Step back!"
Su Xuan’s internal Dark Strength suppressed the disordered Qi, and Pan Shengan quickly led Luo Tianyi down from the arena, showing his smarts.
"Dare to harm my woman, you’re courting death!"
Su Xuan opened his hands, a Heroic Sword leaping from its scabbard, sword light whistling by, appearing instantly in Su Xuan’s grasp.
Killing Aura: in that instant, a formidable Killing Aura lifted tree leaves from the ground, with Sword Qi on the tip of the Heroic Sword swirling like a Jiao Dragon. The Heroic Sword seemed to sense its master’s fighting spirit, producing continuous dragon roars.
"Master, save me! He’s going to kill me!"
Tu Su felt terrified, realizing that under Su Xuan’s Sword Qi lock, his breath became short!
"Amitabha, Benefactor, lay down your butcher’s knife and become a Buddha instantly!"
Hui Kong clasped his hands, speaking with great compassion!
"Hui Kong, are you moving aside or not?"
By now, Su Xuan was angry. He initially didn’t want to kill, feeling there was no need to kill someone in front of so many people. Besides, he wasn’t clear about the identity and background of the Five Elements Sect.
But Tu Su dared to harm Luo Tianyi, and Su Xuan wouldn’t let him go.
"Amitabha, Benefactor, your killing intent is too strong. I advise you, lay down your butcher’s knife and become a Buddha instantly!"
"Hmph, Hui Kong, listen well. I proposed a joint battle not out of fear. My master once said Shaolin is the true sect of World Martial Arts and I must not challenge it unless absolutely necessary. But don’t think I fear you; today I must kill this dog, if gods block, I’ll slay gods, if Buddhas block, I’ll slay Buddhas!"
