Chapter 276: Chapter 191: Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings! Combat power soars, traversing heaven and earth! All acupuncture points around the body, thoroughly connected!
At the beginning of his Martial Arts training, Jiang Shu’s mindset was extremely pure. He climbed high mountains and waded through deep waters, wanting to reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts as much as possible. Immortality. Invincibility. Great power returned to oneself. It was precisely because of this that, in traversing the Two Realms Shuttle, he primarily used this pure Martial Arts approach to reach where he was today, fearing that reliance on external objects early on would lead to a strong dependency later. Whether it was handguns or explosives, Jiang Shu never considered them his trump cards.
「Until today.」
His "Crystal Meditation Method" was nearly at Perfection, and he was about to step into a stable Realm. External objects, in his eyes, were merely a means to Martial Arts.
Levitating, an armor-piercing missile launched from his shoulder. The tremendous recoil shook every hair on his shoulder.
SWOOSH!
The giant peng could never have imagined that this seemingly insignificant human could unleash such a terrifying strike. What a shocking scene it was.
Under the dark clouds, the armor-piercing missile, like a meteor from beyond the heavens, burned all the air around it at nearly ten times the speed of sound, tracing an absolutely scorching path in the dim sky.
BOOM!
The armor-piercing missile directly hit one wing of the giant peng. Jiang Shu’s strike was too fast; he was too close to the giant peng.
A huge mushroom cloud rose in midair. Amidst the smoke, Jiang Shu quickly used his Primordial Power to move the rocket launcher to the ground, then immediately grabbed two precious sabers, protecting himself with Primordial Power as he charged forward.
The Small Five Elements Saber Formation activated once more! Five invisible giant sabers formed from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi simultaneously fell!
Strike him when he’s down, take his life! Jiang Shu’s eyes narrowed, full of murderous intent. His heart pounded like a high-speed engine, forcefully pulsing blood throughout his body. His body trembled, his blood boiling! This was a battle against a higher tier! A tier-transcending battle that neither the Da Jing Dynasty nor Xuanxing Martial Artists would even dare to dream of!
In its rage, the giant peng screamed with a tinge of panic! The corpse of the Great Sun Flame Tiger, which it had been grasping in its claws, had turned to ash in the blast of the armor-piercing missile. One of its wings burned, leaving only half a flesh wing, with blood raining down from the sky. It could no longer maintain its previous arrogance; there was no longer any mockery in its eyes.
"Kill!" Jiang Shu roared, unleashing the Earth Evil Tiger Roar Skill! He threw everything he had. This time, he held nothing back. Even though after three rounds, the Treasure Patterns of the Small Five Elements Saber Formation were clearly on the verge of collapse, he still forced it into action. If he won this battle, the rewards he reaped would definitely outweigh the loss of this set of Treasures.
BOOM!
The Treasure Patterns activated the Yuan Qi giant sabers, striking first. The giant peng’s wing flashed, its fierce Gang Wind blew the Yuan Qi giant sabers apart. But after continuous battles, plus the injuries from two missile attacks, the giant peng finally exhausted its strength. It was unable even to keep itself balanced, and its entire body fell from the sky. A thunderbolt that had accumulated in the thick clouds burst out in haste, only managing to break Jiang Shu’s Primordial Power shield.
WHOOSH...
As the wind howled, Jiang Shu’s speed increased more and more. Using the Acupoint Passage Realm, his energy was vigorous. Slashing a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast with a hard strike!
Jiang Shu swung his saber, and the meter-long precious saber exploded with endless power, cutting through the dim sky.
RIP!
A precious saber penetrated deep into the giant peng’s flesh wing, and blood spurted out. The stench of blood rushed towards Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu flipped over, seating himself on the giant peng’s back and plunging another saber like a sword edge between its feathers. With both arms tightly wrapped around the giant peng, they rolled together in midair, plummeting towards a large mountain.
BOOM!
A seven-hundred-meter-high mountain peak looked as if it were sheared in half! The cliff, struck by the figures of the giant peng and Jiang Shu, now had a huge crater.
On the rock face, man and beast, along with countless tumbling boulders, rolled quickly like a wheel. Terrifying energy collided between them, the entire air echoing with insane sonic booms! Jiang Shu’s entire back was wounded; the skin that could withstand bullets seemed as if it had no defense at all.
The giant peng, suffering even greater damage, no longer maintained the appearance of a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast. Its already halved flesh wing, in the continuous collisions, broke again, completely losing its ability to soar in the sky. Its back, neck, and even its already injured abdomen were penetrated by precious sabers. Three precious sabers were already broken! Its internal organs were damaged, and blood flowed profusely!
The Primordial Power from his three hundred acupoints was finally exhausted. The True Qi inside his body then surged forth, tearing through the air as he held the precious saber, stabbing into the layers of feathery protection on the peng’s back!
BANG!
Finally, man and beast collided with the ground.
The entire world seemed to tremble for a moment, as if an earthquake had struck. Countless ancient trees nearby, having survived for hundreds or thousands of years, were snapped in the enormous energy collision. Two pits, one large and one small, appeared on the ground, with countless cracks spreading out like a spider web. Faint breathing sounds emerged from the pits.
It felt as if every bone in his body was broken; the circulation of all Primordial Power and True Qi within him was paralyzed. Jiang Shu was dizzy, as if an ordinary person had been hit by a large vehicle—a state he had never experienced since he started practicing Martial Arts. Even his Great Stability-level Spiritual Cultivation could not help him focus his mind.
He forcefully propped himself up on the ground with his hands, struggling to turn his body over. A drop of Essence Blood seeped from his fingertips into his Storage Bag. Healing Elixirs, one after another, entered his stomach. The potent medicine swiftly began to heal every tendon, bone, and muscle in his body.
