Chapter 628 - 422: The External One

"Break!"

Sensing that she couldn’t break through her opponent’s barrier, a brutal look flashed in Zhao Ying’s eyes.

Her figure suddenly vanished.

BOOM!

The barrier instantly caved violently inward!

Lumina’s body shuddered, and she let out a muffled grunt.

Two thin trickles of blood snaked down from her nostrils.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Zhao Ying’s figure flickered around the shield, appearing from every direction. Each punch and kick sent tremors rippling through the barrier, yet it refused to break.

Instead, the ground beneath them began to splinter and crack.

Suddenly, Zhao Ying appeared in midair.

Her right leg chopped downward, her Electromagnetic Gang Energy forming a crescent-shaped slash that came crashing down from the sky.

BANG!!

CRACK!

The barrier shattered in an instant.

Lumina spat out a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying backward.

But Zhao Ying didn’t pause for a moment. Her leg moved like a phantom, launching another crescent slash.

BANG!

The next second, a beam of light erupted, shattering the slash completely.

Turning to look, the one who had intervened was none other than Xu Shu.

At that moment, his appearance had changed dramatically.

The top of his suit and his pant legs were torn to shreds, revealing his well-defined, muscular physique.

Furthermore, the aura flaring around him intensified, turning a pale gold.

His once-black hair was gradually turning a dazzling gold, each strand standing on end as if burning like a flame.

His pupils had turned a teal green, and they glittered with a cold light.

The air around him seemed to crackle and pop, as if being torn apart by this power.

The ground began to tremble slightly as dust and pebbles were swept up by his aura, hovering in the air around him.

Xu Shu’s body was completely enveloped in a golden light, his feet hovering half a meter off the ground.

Xu Shu.

Secondary S-Level Bloodline: Super Saiyan.

This Bloodline was very powerful.

However, it required a certain amount of time to build up power before it could be activated.

Furthermore, because the Bloodline was incomplete, Xu Shu couldn’t maintain this state for very long.

This was also why he had been reluctant to use it earlier.

"I’ll handle this!"

Xu Shu said calmly.

He motioned for Lumina to leave.

Seeing this, Lumina’s figure flickered as she quickly put distance between herself and the battle.

Zhao Ying didn’t pursue her.

Instead, her gaze fell upon the transformed Xu Shu.

She could clearly sense that his power had multiplied several times over.

However, faced with this situation, she felt no fear. Instead, a sense of eager anticipation washed over her.

"I didn’t want to do this. You forced my hand."

Xu Shu’s expression was grim.

This was a Seven-Star World.

The level of danger here was unimaginable.

With a complete Super Saiyan Bloodline, he might have stood a chance against its dangers.

But an incomplete S-Level Bloodline was nowhere near enough to face the hidden threats of this world.

But he knew if he didn’t deal with her now, there was no escaping.

With that thought, his figure suddenly vanished.

The next second, he appeared behind Zhao Ying as if he had teleported, smashing a fist down violently.

However, Zhao Ying seemed to have anticipated it, spinning around to block.

BANG! BANG! BANG!...

Their figures flickered like phantoms between the sky and the ground, each clash unleashing tangible ripples of energy.

Anything within a ten-meter radius of them—be it stone, steel, or anything else—was instantly pulverized.

After his transformation, Xu Shu’s power had clearly surged. In just a few exchanges, he had inflicted multiple wounds on Zhao Ying and even broken one of her arms.

However, Zhao Ying’s Recovery Power was astonishingly high. Her wounds healed rapidly, and the battle seemed to have reached a stalemate.

Xu Shu knew he couldn’t let this drag on.

His transformation had a time limit, and Zhao Ying wasn’t the only enemy in this world.

After another violent clash of fists, the two fighters broke apart.

Xu Shu planted his feet firmly on the ground, spreading them wide. He slowly brought his hands, shaped like claws, together at his waist, palms facing each other.

VMMMM!

Suddenly, a flicker of blue light ignited between his palms. It rapidly condensed, gradually forming a dazzling sphere of light.

The sphere contained world-destroying energy, and the air around it began to distort, as if space itself couldn’t withstand its power.

"Ka...me...ha...me...HA!"

With a low roar, he thrust his hands forward. A blue energy wave, roaring like a Giant Dragon, shot out with enough force to tear everything apart as it blasted forward.

Wherever the energy wave passed, it carved a deep trench into the ground. The compressed air shrieked, and it was as if the very heavens and earth were trembling.

The light illuminated the entire area.

"Buddha Hand!"

Zhao Ying pressed her palms together. The Ultimate Infinite Qi Skill within her body surged like a mighty river, instantly transforming into countless fine strands of Electromagnetic Gang Energy that swirled around her, emitting a low hum.

The Gang Energy condensed around her, gradually compressing into a brilliant golden light from which the majestic phantom of a Buddha faintly emerged.

The Buddha’s eyes were slightly closed, its face benevolent, yet it radiated an unparalleled pressure, as if it could suppress all of creation.

This was the Buddha Hand, one of the ultimate techniques of the Ultimate Infinite Qi Skill.

The next second, Zhao Ying’s gaze hardened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

She thrust her right palm forward. The force of the blow was like thunder, and the air seemed to tear with a piercing shriek.

Simultaneously, the Buddha phantom behind her moved in concert. A giant Buddha hand, its palm lines clearly visible, slowly rose.

It pushed forward, pressing onward with an unstoppable, crushing force.
