Chapter 299 - 240: A Foregone Conclusion

RRRRIP!!

As Zhao Xuanqi’s hands tore through the air, he ripped apart something formless. Furukawa Naoto, who had been casting a spiritual influence from the edge of the battlefield, found his Secret Technique broken and was plunged into a momentary state of paralysis.

With the Five Dragon Extreme Acupoints open, his hands and feet could move Ghost Gods!

Only now was the true effect of opening the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Acupoints in his hands and feet fully revealed.

The Qi and Blood in his hands and feet had reached an ultimate peak. Some hidden physical potential had been further unlocked, and the fusion of his spiritual will with these parts of his body had reached its zenith, granting them immense power.

Ghost Gods are formless things: magnetic fields, Spirit, Feng Shui, and Arrays are all considered Ghost Gods.

But for the current Zhao Xuanqi, these things were no longer intangible and illusory!!

He had instantly broken through the Divine Transformation ability of East Mountain Good Horses, then torn apart Furukawa Naoto’s spiritual blockade. In a flash, the tide of battle had completely turned.

’This is bad!!’

An Yuan Wuyan’s heart pounded wildly in his chest. His intuition screamed at him, and an intense sense of crisis seeped into every inch of his body.

Before, when Zhao Xuanqi’s Spirit was trapped, they still couldn’t take him down quickly. But now, after an unknown change within him and the shattering of his spiritual shackles, his terrifying power would increase exponentially!

Just then, as if his Spirit were being drawn by some unseen force, he unconsciously glanced in a certain direction, his eyes meeting Zhao Xuanqi’s.

ROAR!!

A silver light erupted from those calm, cold eyes. With a burst of his will, a tremendous beast’s roar shook the soul as a majestic and terrifying Qilin Holy Beast instantly manifested. Its Holy Might spread out, assaulting the minds of all who witnessed it.

But An Yuan Wuyan was a top-tier master, after all. He hadn’t gotten to where he was today by relying solely on his Divine Transformation ability. His own will and Martial Dao were in no way inferior, even when compared to the masters of the Divine Land!

In that instant, he unleashed his Spirit. The power of the Flower Seed within him surged, and he formed a defensive magnetic field with his formidable physique and will, actually managing to block the influence of Zhao Xuanqi’s Spiritual Secret Technique.

The next moment, however, Zhao Xuanqi’s palm struck out toward him with explosive force.

In his eyes, that was no longer a human palm.

The Qi and Blood in the arm had fused almost perfectly with his will. Silver light enveloped his entire arm, which was now covered in distinct silver scales. It was incredibly thick and powerful, its five fingers formed into a claw that could shatter any obstacle in the world.

The Qilin Arm!

This was a terrifying attack born from the eruption of Zhao Xuanqi’s will, combined with the power of the Five Dragon Extreme Acupoints to move Ghost Gods, all fused with an explosive burst of his intent, magnetic field, and Physical Ability!

KRRSSSHH!!

Before the fist even arrived, before the Gang Qi had reached him, the arm’s power to channel his will and manipulate the magnetic field had already taken effect. The dense green light enveloping An Yuan Wuyan was torn to shreds. A powerful will invaded unimpeded, causing An Yuan Wuyan’s movements to freeze for a fraction of a second.

He could withstand Zhao Xuanqi’s simple burst of will, but he couldn’t block the terrifying effect produced when that will was amplified by the power of the Hundred Dragon Acupoints.

BOOM!!

The palm struck An Yuan Wuyan’s body head-on, but at the very last moment, he managed to slightly turn and curl his body into a defensive posture.

With an explosive crack, his entire body was sent flying backward. He broke through the air, creating a massive ripple, before crashing heavily into the sea below.

This scene sent a chill down the spines of both East Mountain Good Horses and Furukawa Naoto.

The Northern Lord, Mr. An Yuan, had actually been defeated and forced to retreat with a single blow!!

However, Zhao Xuanqi gave them no chance to think. After sending An Yuan Wuyan flying, the Qi and Blood in his body surged, instantly dispersing the recoil from the impact. Then, with a light tap of his foot, his figure shot toward the nearby East Mountain Good Horses.

His movements were like a phantom’s. His feet, empowered to touch the magnetic field, scrambled the Qi-based lock on him, making it impossible for East Mountain Good Horses to determine his true direction of attack.

At that moment, an unprecedented wave of terror washed over East Mountain Good Horses. He knew he was absolutely no match for Zhao Xuanqi.

But despite the intense fear, he did not retreat. Instead, a vicious resolve rose from the depths of his heart, and his Qi and Blood surged.

’Even if I die, I’ll make you pay!!’

East Mountain Good Horses roared as a mist of blood erupted from his palms, pushing the ability of his Superpower organ to its absolute limit.

However, Zhao Xuanqi had no intention of giving him the chance for a desperate, last-ditch struggle.

Zhao Xuanqi’s arms blurred, transforming into nine afterimages that looked like nine tails, or perhaps nine Divine Dragons. The vision of East Mountain Good Horses blurred instantly. Time and space seemed to overlap as all nine attacks descended upon a single point at the same time.

’Unavoidable!!’

BANG!!

The arms he raised to block snapped instantly. The Force penetrated them and exploded within his chest. The terrifying power instantly blew apart his steel-like body. With a muffled bang, a cloud of blood mist erupted. A massive hole, nearly half a meter in diameter, had been blasted into his chest, revealing shattered flesh, organs, and bone.

A look of disbelief and indignation filled his eyes. As if all his strength had been drained away, his body suddenly went limp and collapsed onto the surface of the sea. His aura rapidly diminished, becoming faint and almost nonexistent as the light faded from his eyes.

Even a Harmony master could not avoid death after suffering such a terrifying wound.

Harmony masters were, after all, still made of flesh and blood.

After East Mountain Good Horses collapsed, Zhao Xuanqi didn’t spare him a second glance. He spun around, his feet tapping lightly, and charged toward Furukawa Naoto.
