Chapter 433 - 415: 7 Killings Collapsing Thunder: 3rd Breaking Limit

Su Yu opened his panel again to check which of his Martial Arts were ready for a Breaking Limit.

[Martial Arts]: Green Wood Shadow Ape Fist (Skilled 1010/2000)

[Martial Arts]: Demon Ape Demon-Vibrating Saber (Minor Achievement 1/3000)

[Martial Arts]: Vajra Fearless True Sound (Perfection)

[Martial Arts]: Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape Fist (Perfection)

[Martial Arts]: Spiritual Ape Demon-Slaying Saber (First Layer) (1 Breaking Limit) (Demon-subduing)

[Martial Arts]: Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step (2 Breaking Limits) (First Step: Startling Swan, Second Step: Rushing Thunder)

[Martial Arts]: Bibo Fish Dragon Skill (First Layer) (Perfection)

[Martial Arts]: Black Stone Body Forging Skill (First Layer) (1 Breaking Limit) (Formless Flowing Gold)

[Martial Arts]: Lingxi Beast Taming Technique (1 Breaking Limit) (Spirit Rhinoceros Blood Contract)

[Martial Arts]: White Ape Long Arm Fist (3 Breaking Limits) (Traits: Ape Shadow Gale, Hundred Fierce Peaks, White Ape Extreme Stance - Instant Shadow Thousand Strikes)

[Martial Arts]: White Ape Six Transformations (3 Breaking Limits) (Traits: Heart Monkey Clarity, Violent Ape Blood Fury, White Ape Saint Body)

[Martial Arts]: Money Tossing (1 Breaking Limit) (Trait: Spiral Armor-Breaking)

’To quickly increase my strength right now, one option is to use a Breaking Limit on Vajra Fearless True Sound. This Sound Wave Skill can often have an unexpected effect in actual combat, creating great opportunities!’

’Another choice is to use a Breaking Limit on the Spiritual Ape Demon-Slaying Saber. Its two Breaking Limit Traits would most likely continue to enhance my demon-subduing power.’

’The last option is the Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step. It’s about to have its third Breaking Limit, which will bring about another qualitative transformation. Besides, most of the enemies I’m facing now are of a higher Realm. It’s very troublesome to deal with such experts if my speed is lacking.’

After a moment of thought, Su Yu ultimately decided to use a Breaking Limit on the Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step!

In the tournament match three days from now, he would most likely be facing an enemy at Jiao Tendon Realm Perfection. If his speed was too slow then, he wouldn’t even have a chance to use his Taibai Primordial Magnetic Saber.

In the time he had, he could only accumulate a single wisp of Taibai Primordial Magnetic Gold Qi. The margin for error absolutely couldn’t be low.

If he had extreme speed, coupled with the miraculous ability of Flesh Healing, then he would have a much greater chance of winning against an opponent at Jiao Tendon Realm Perfection!

Having made his decision, Su Yu no longer hesitated. He immediately pressed the "+" symbol next to Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step.

[Seven Fiends Thunder Collapse Step beginning Breaking Limit...]

[Seven Kills Thunder Collapse Step third Breaking Limit successful. 3 Breakthrough Points consumed.]

[Third Breaking Limit Trait acquired: Celestial Thunder Step]

In the next instant, a scene flashed through Su Yu’s mind.

On a muddy mountain path under a torrential downpour, he sprinted wildly through mud and loose rocks. Muffled thunder rumbled across the sky, and searing purple arcs of electricity began to surge within his body.

The purple arcs of electricity churned madly within the muscle fibers and deep into the bones of his legs. Stimulated by this violent lightning, the very bones and blood in his legs fused completely with the thunder, and the contraction and release speed of his Great Tendons was boosted several times over!

With every step, his Great Tendons snapped, triggering a rumbling boom from his muscles and bones! His figure seemed to transform into a streak of purple lightning, continuously vanishing and reappearing on the mountain path.

...

[Trait]: Celestial Thunder Step (3 Breaking Limits)

Thunder enters the body, and power is born in the step! The Thunder Power has completely fused into the bones and blood of the legs. It is no longer a borrowed external force, but a fundamental driving power that coexists with the tendons and bones. The Thunder Power accumulated in the legs requires no triggering, no building of momentum. As long as the feet touch the ground, the thunder will surge forth on its own. Celestial might descends with each step—this is the Celestial Thunder Step!

Su Yu’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing within them.

’What an incredible technique, this Celestial Thunder Step! It’s actually driven by Thunder Power. I’m afraid not even someone at the Profound Bone Realm could keep up with this speed!’

Back then, Su Yu had used the Second Step: Rushing Thunder just to keep up with Huyan Muyuan. Now, with the Celestial Thunder Step, his speed had increased by another huge margin.

’Let’s see just how fast it is!’

With a shift of his feet, Su Yu instantly activated Celestial Thunder Step!

He took a single step and his figure appeared above the Lotus Pool. His foot tapped the surface of the water, raising only the slightest ripple before his entire body transformed into an incredibly fast purple shadow of lightning and vanished once more.

On the platform beside the Lotus Pool, the little croco-dragon lifted its head and shook its massive skull. Did it just sense its master’s arrival?

Seeing no one there, it comfortably lay back down and lazily went back to sleep.

BZZT!

Along with the faint crackle of a lightning arc, a light scorch mark was left on the wall tiles of the mansion next to the Su Mansion. In the next moment, Su Yu’s figure landed on the rolling, blue-tiled rooftops of Anping Square.

’One use of Celestial Thunder Step, driven by Thunder Power, lets me take about three steps! The speed during these three steps is more than fifty percent faster than the Second Step: Rushing Thunder!’

The corners of his lips curved up slightly as he gazed into the distance.

The morning mist over Anping Square had not yet dissipated, and the individual courtyard homes were faintly shrouded within it.

Su Yu activated Celestial Thunder Step again, his figure flitting across rooftops and along eaves like a phantom of lightning.

Each time he landed, it was as if every step birthed thunder. The explosive Thunder Power drove the profound contraction and release of his Great Tendons.

The blue tiles beneath his feet didn’t crack in the slightest, and only a faint white ripple of air was left behind him.

At that moment, on the main street of Anping Square, a drowsy Night Watchman was carrying a bronze gong and letting out a yawn.

WHOOSH!

A sudden gust of wind blew past, causing the red lantern in his hand to sway slightly.

In the hazy morning mist, he vaguely saw a blurry purple figure flash across the rooftops above and disappear. A faint, burnt smell, like the aftermath of a lightning strike, even lingered in the air.

He rubbed his eyes, uncertain, but it seemed he had been mistaken. There was no movement at all.

"Damn, my eyes are playing tricks on me. Time to go home and sleep! There are more and more strange things happening in Black Stone City these days. It’s all the fault of those Black Lotus Sect Demons..."

...

「Black Stone City, Flying Feather Guard Headquarters.」

Lin Wanzhu listened to Cui Wanhe’s report, her fine brows furrowing slightly as she looked at the secret message in her hand.

"Commander Lin, the person who sent this secret message is most likely the same one who gave Lord Su that intelligence. However, he didn’t go looking for Commander Su again, perhaps because he felt it would be difficult to escape from Commander Su a second time."

Cui Wanhe stood ramrod straight, the familiar Nine-Ring Saber on his back, as he analyzed the situation.

Just a short while ago, while he was on patrol, someone had delivered a secret message to him via an arrow.

The secret message stated that the sender knew the location of another of the Huyan Family’s treasure vaults outside the city and was willing to tell the Flying Feather Guard.

But the condition was that Huyan Tong must be handed over to him!

"Could this person be Chen Fan?"

Lin Wanzhu actually had her own suspicions, but she lacked concrete evidence.

Cui Wanhe shook his head and said, "Unlikely! This person is extremely fast, and his Qi and Blood is superior to mine. He’s at least an expert at the Tiger Tendon Realm. As far as I know, Chen Fan shouldn’t be that powerful."

Lin Wanzhu nodded but didn’t answer directly.

"According to Huyan bo, the Huyan Family’s treasure vault is supposed to be outside the city. But the secret message from this person says it’s in the west of the city. Which lead do you think is more credible?"

Cui Wanhe gave a wry smile and shook his head. "Commander Lin, I’m not very good at this kind of analysis. However, Commander Feng and I have already taken men to thoroughly search the location Huyan bo mentioned. It seemed more like a decoy den."

"Mm, let’s discuss this matter when Ah Yu gets here. You may go for now."

"Then this subordinate will take his leave."
