Chapter 474 - 273: Crushing a Fifth-Rank, Twists and Turns! (Part 2)

Five Elements Gang Force!

A river of qi blood three zhang long!

Profound Demon Five Transformations·Bird Ape Transformation!

The moment Su Mu fiercely clenched his fist, the fist momentum surged out, enveloping everyone in the cabin except the woman in the cage. The surrounding world seemed to be entirely compressed into this single fist, making everyone feel as if they were standing on a precarious cliff, with a steep abyss awaiting if they stepped back, and a mountain about to crush down above their heads, unstoppable!

Hundred Battles Fist·Breaking Army!

Various martial arts were all integrated into one punch. Su Mu then fiercely smashed out with his raised fist. The sky seemed overwhelmed, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Before the fist, the white waves rolled out, surging in circles.

The punch suddenly magnified infinitely in Zhao Yixin’s cold pupils. Feeling the unmatched divine power within that punch, his face changed dramatically. He wanted to do something but found his body completely suppressed and restrained by the overwhelming force, unable to move even a finger.

Faced with life and death, Zhao Yixin, with his battle-hardened experience, his eyes suddenly brightened with two silver lights. From the center of his brows, a spiritual power instantly transformed into a sharp object, aiming to counterattack in his final moments.

Unfortunately, the sharp object formed by the spiritual power was intercepted by a flash of black and white light, completely unable to reach Su Mu’s brow.

"No, no..."

Zhao Yixin watched that fist fall, letting out a final, hysterical roar.

"Boom!"

The fist fell, and a figure flew backward like a cannonball. But before it could fly far, there was another ’bang’ as the figure burst like a watermelon.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, blooming into a blood flower in the cabin.

"He’s dead... such a weak body."

After launching the punch, Su Mu whispered in surprise as he watched Zhao Yixin turn into scattered flesh and blood. Tonight was, after all, a one against three scenario, and he didn’t expect the punch to kill Zhao Yixin outright. He aimed to critically injure one first.

Who would have thought he overestimated Zhao Yixin, who, as Tao Han’s personal guard, couldn’t even withstand a single punch and directly died from an exploded body.

"Boom!"

After a brief dead silence, the cabin was suddenly smashed open by a figure, with Liu E witnessing the ’Blue Tiger’s’ sudden move. Shocked by the punch that killed Zhao Yixin, Liu E panicked, turning pale, and fled the cabin.

"Roar!"

A non-human growl came from Liu E, as a blood river instantly enveloped him, condensing into a blood jiao, wrapping around his body, transforming into a qi blood jiao armor. Meanwhile, with the flesh writhing, bluish-black scales became faintly visible on every inch of Liu E’s skin.

The person’s aura turned incredibly chilling, as their once handsome head transformed slowly into an inverted triangle, with sharp teeth protruding from the corners of their mouth, and sinister vertical pupils fixating intensely on the cabin.

"What’s that sound?"

"It’s coming from the cabin. What’s happening?"

Everything happened too suddenly, and the Jiao Blood gang members on the deck were alarmed, gathering by the cabin entrance with widened eyes and changed expressions.

They first saw not the shattered cabin but the sight of their hall master, Liu E, standing outside the cabin with a terrified face, metamorphosed into a half-demon state.

"What exactly happened... the hall master was forced into a half-demon state so directly!"

The strength of demon martial artists generally exceeds that of cultivators of the same grade. This is precisely the powerful aspect of the half-demon state. Demon martial artists can use their special demon clan cultivation techniques to activate the demon blood fused within their bodies during the half-demon state, manifesting demon beast powers with a human form.

Yet, adopting the half-demon state is not without costs. Each use depletes part of the demon beast essence blood within them, requiring timely supplementation of new demon beast blood.

Without replenishment, the demon martial artist will fall into a state of weakness, which might last several months.

Thus, unless necessary, demon martial artists do not easily employ the half-demon state; it is a desperate measure.

The Blood Wolf Woman once regarded Su Mu as a feast not to be missed, seeing him as a once-in-a-century talent and believing her own power greatly surpassed his. Therefore, she assumed the half-demon form to quickly capture Su Mu.

Success would be worth it, but that time, the Blood Wolf Woman miscalculated.

This time, Liu E’s intentions could not be more different. He was not drawn to Su Mu for his delicious flesh but merely acted on instinct to save his own life.

If Liu E were to confront Zhao Yixin in a life-or-death battle, he would certainly survive to the end, but not without sustaining severe injuries and paying a price.

However, that ’Blue Tiger’ actually killed Zhao Yixin in one punch, leaving Liu E in sheer terror.

"Outrageous! Who dares to intrude on my Jiao Blood gang’s large ship, seeking death?!"

Just as Liu E was still in shock, a Jiao Blood gang member cried out fiercely, believing they saw a chance to gain favor with Li Xuan, the Incense Master, who stood frozen. They drew their blade, shouting toward the cabin.

The moment the words fell.

Even in the half-demon state, Liu E froze, swallowing nervously with disbelief at the Jiao Blood gang member blocking the cabin door with a drawn blade.

The man felt the hall master’s unwavering gaze on his back, his heart burning with fervor as he boldly stepped forward.

"Puff!"

In the next breath, everyone’s pupils contracted as the man’s advancing left foot froze in mid-air in a bizarre moment, followed by a loud ’puff’.

Blood and flesh sprayed wildly, and yet another blood flower bloomed.

The scene fell deathly silent, and even the battle-hardened Jiao Blood gang members’ hearts trembled at the savage manner of death they witnessed.
