LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 44 – Kill the half-step Condensing Origin Realm strong
Terra Su swung the Cang Hai Sword without hesitation, aiming to block the powerful double palm strikes from the man in black.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The man in black's palms continuously struck Terra Su's long sword, each hit landing heavily on the blade, producing a piercing clashing sound, like two metal blocks colliding.
However, what shocked the man in black was that it wasn't that he was intentionally aiming for Terra Su's sword. Instead, every time he struck at Terra Su, the latter could immediately counter with his sword, making it seem as if the man in black was purposefully targeting the sword.
Unless one had an in-depth understanding of palm techniques, it would be impossible to achieve this. Could it be that this fifteen-year-old boy not only had a high cultivation level but was also proficient in palm techniques?
In fact, although Terra Su couldn't practice Martial Dao in his previous life, he was the Alchemy Emperor and had collected a vast number of Martial Dao manuals. His mastery of martial techniques was far beyond that of ordinary people.
At this moment, the man in black had struck dozens of times, all landing on the sword without harming Terra Su in the slightest.
His gaze grew colder, and he suddenly sneered, "To withstand my dozens of strikes, you do have some skill!"
"But now, I will use my full strength!"
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he clapped his palms together fiercely in mid-air. Countless palm shadows surged from his hands, filling the sky like a massive net, descending upon Terra Su.
"Boy, prepare yourself! Today, you will die!"
The man in black roared. Even other half-step Condensing Origin Realm experts couldn't withstand this move, let alone Terra Su, who was only at the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm. No matter how advanced Terra Su's martial techniques were, the gap in cultivation level was insurmountable!
But what the man in black didn't expect was that Terra Su stood calmly in place, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He spoke, "I've already figured out all your combat techniques and attack methods. Next, it's your turn to die."
"What did you say?"
The man in black was even more enraged, sending out more palm shadows, "Are you talking nonsense? You, figuring out my attack methods? Making me die?"
"Boy, today I'll show you what a true half-step Condensing Origin Realm expert is!"
The palm shadows grew denser, enveloping Terra Su with the momentum of a thousand troops.
Surrounded by the overwhelming palm shadows, Terra Su seemed like a small boat in a stormy sea, with no way to escape the engulfing shadows.
At that moment, Terra Su suddenly moved!
But instead of retreating, he stepped forward into the sea of palm shadows, letting them strike his body fiercely!
Slap! Slap! Slap! In an instant, Terra Su was hit by dozens of palms, his skin torn and bleeding, blood flowing from his mouth.
Yet, despite such severe injuries, Terra Su didn't even blink. Instead, he revealed a confident smile.
At the same time, his long sword moved, thrusting forward rapidly!
"One Sword, Eight Waves!"
This sword strike was like a divine intervention, piercing through the myriad palm shadows, creating a large hole in the dense array of shadows!
The sword tip then continued forward, aiming for the vital spot on the man in black's chest!
"Impossible, he actually saw through the flaw in my technique?" The man in black was incredulous. Terra Su's seemingly simple and unremarkable sword strike had directly hit the weakest part of his palm technique!
Although the man in black's palm technique was formidable, every technique had its flaws, the weakest part. Terra Su had found this flaw in an incredibly short time and broke his technique!
Previously, when Terra Su said he had seen through his attack methods, the man in black didn't take it seriously. But now, he felt a chilling fear deep in his heart!
Could this boy be a prodigy, possessing such profound martial technique mastery?
But at this moment, there was no time for the man in black to think, as Terra Su's sword tip had already reached his chest!
Puff!
The sword tip easily pierced through his protective defense, deeply penetrating his chest, causing a large spray of blood.
The man in black's eyes widened, disbelief still lingering in his gaze, as he muttered, "I was defeated by someone at the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm!"
Then, the man in black fell backward, lifeless.
Terra Su looked at the corpse of the man in black, his eyes devoid of any emotion. Anyone who wanted his life had to die; this was Terra Su's principle in this life!
As for the remaining Iron Armor Gate martial practitioners present, seeing their strongest member killed by Terra Su, they were already terrified out of their wits.
Seeing that Terra Su wasn't paying attention to them, they quietly prepared to escape.
However, they had barely turned and taken a few steps before Terra Su, with a single sword, killed them all.
To eliminate the roots, Terra Su naturally wouldn't leave them alive to report back to the Iron Armor Gate.
Now, with everyone who witnessed the scene dead, it would be much harder for the Iron Armor Gate to trace it back to Terra Su.
Terra Su used his sword to open the clothes of the corpses one by one. These people didn't have anything valuable on them, except for a small pouch on the young master. Inside, there were elixirs, weapons, and techniques.
The elixirs were a few precious healing and qi-replenishing pills, of higher quality than the ones Terra Su carried. He didn't hesitate to toss a few into his mouth, chewing them like candy.
Next, the weapon was a purple-gold knuckle duster, which made Terra Su's eyes light up slightly. He always liked such knuckle weapons; they seemed inconspicuous but could deal significant damage to enemies in critical moments.
Terra Su casually slipped the purple-gold knuckle duster onto his fingers.
As for the technique, it was a Normal Grade mid-tier technique, which Terra Su naturally disdained. He tossed it into the nearby bushes.
Without another glance at the corpses, Terra Su walked to a nearby thicket and began to meditate and heal.
Although he had killed the man in black with one sword strike, he had also taken dozens of palm strikes, leaving him seriously injured.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, Terra Su wouldn't have used such a self-destructive tactic. But since he had only recently reincarnated, his foundation was still too weak. To win, he had to use such mutually destructive methods.
"I need to find an opportunity to thoroughly temper my physique. If my body were stronger, I wouldn't have been so badly injured in such situations."
Terra Su licked his lips. Since his rebirth, he had been constantly yearning for great strength, because no one understood better than him the law of the jungle in the Martial Dao world. To survive better in this world, strength was the only means.
It was precisely because of this understanding that he was willing to risk his life to find the place marked on the map. If the opportunity there was real, it would bring him a tremendous boost in strength.
