Free Web NovelChapter 115: Chapter 107: Fierce Battle on the National Highway
"You... why aren’t you running away?!"
The girl who’d scrambled out of the front passenger seat struggled to her feet. She started to run but was stunned to see the man in the back seat hadn’t moved an inch. She gave the window a well-intentioned knock and shouted:
"Didn’t you see?! That... that guy is killing people everywhere! Run!"
"Thank you, but I don’t intend to run."
Su Xing remained motionless, his eyes locked on the man walking toward him.
As the man approached, step by step, Su Xing learned from the Collapse that this Vice Bishop’s codename in the Spiritual Sect was—Anger.
The Angry Vice Bishop!
"Are you crazy?!"
She gave Su Xing a look of disbelief before turning and running away.
’There’s no helping people who won’t help themselves.’ She didn’t know the man, so after hearing his response, she wasn’t about to say anything more. But just as she turned away, she heard a car door open.
Just as the thought, ’And he’s still trying to act tough,’ crossed her mind,
Su Xing stepped slowly onto the ground.
First, he confirmed there were no surveillance cameras nearby.
Then the ground before him instantly cracked open, a straight fissure racing toward the other man!
’This... what the fuck is this?!’
She was still running when she heard the commotion. She whipped her head around to look back at Su Xing, her face a mask of pure shock!
’This man is actually an Extraordinary Being!’ She never would have imagined it. The quiet man from the car, the one who’d just sat there like an idiot when disaster struck, was actually one of the renowned Extraordinary Beings!
Since the Spiritual Qi Revival was announced, this was the first time she had ever seen an Extraordinary Being with her own eyes.
So, after running a safe distance, she stopped, panting, and turned to look back at Su Xing. The other people had long since scattered in a panic, vanishing from sight. The bloody impact from before had nearly scared them out of their wits.
The Sparrow Sword lashed out!
The blade was cloaked in several rapidly swirling currents of air, blurring it from sight. It skimmed low across the ground, carving a deep, long trench. Amidst the roar of exploding air currents, it slashed toward the Angry Vice Bishop with astonishing might!
Just as the Sparrow Sword was about to connect, the Angry Vice Bishop displayed an agility that completely betrayed his burly frame. He dodged the sword’s strike with an almost comically exaggerated movement.
BOOM!
The Sparrow Sword slammed into the highway guardrail with a tremendous crash. Everyone who had already fled to a distance felt a violent tremor beneath their feet. This sent some who had stopped to watch scrambling away again, their faces etched with terror.
"To think it was you... Su Xing."
The Angry Vice Bishop stared in disbelief at the Sparrow Sword, still cloaked in air currents, behind him. He couldn’t see it clearly, but the intuition of a powerful master had allowed him to sense it, just enough to barely dodge the strike.
He turned his head to fix his gaze on Su Xing, his voice grave as he spoke, enunciating every word.
"And to think the Spiritual Sect believed you were just an ordinary person."
HUMMMM!
The sound of the sword humming rang out again. The Sparrow Sword, having missed its mark, circled once more and then slashed towards him again!
The Angry Vice Bishop’s expression turned cold. He let out a furious roar as his right fist erupted in immense flames. It shot out like a missile, packed with terrifying power, and with a deafening boom, he punched at the incoming Sparrow Sword!
CRACK!!!
The Angry Vice Bishop’s fist collided with the Sparrow Sword. The sword was sent flying, its Sword Qi Aura instantly dissipating. Crack after crack appeared on its blade, but ultimately, it didn’t shatter.
The moment the Angry Vice Bishop punched the Sparrow Sword away, he saw Su Xing’s figure—now holding the Black Sword—blur toward him like a phantom!
Su Xing’s speed was simply astonishing!
Even the Angry Vice Bishop’s vision blurred for an instant, and in the next, Su Xing was beside him, thrusting the sword in his right hand viciously forward!
Mountain Breaker!
Unflustered, the Angry Vice Bishop neither dodged nor retreated. He simply twisted his body and threw a punch of his own!
The Angry Vice Bishop had been a professional boxer before joining the Spiritual Sect; his close-quarters combat experience was immense. Moreover, he was a Tier Five Sequencer. He had no reason to fear a head-on clash with a Tier Four like Su Xing!
In other words, Su Xing’s head-on assault was playing right into his hands. The Angry Vice Bishop had no fear of trading blow for blow, injury for injury!
Their fist and sword clashed again and again, unleashing a rapid series of explosive impacts! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
A terrifying force was unleashed. The explosive shockwave shredded the clothes on both men!
The Angry Vice Bishop, who had thought this played to his advantage, found his expression turning ugly. The flames on his fist blazed hotter and hotter, yet they couldn’t seem to affect Su Xing in the slightest!
In that brief moment of distraction, the glint of a sword rapidly filled his vision. He felt a torrential, mountain-crushing force surge from the Black Sword as it pierced straight through his chest. A bloody hole appeared in the center of his torso as a shockwave erupted between them!
The Angry Vice Bishop coughed up a huge mouthful of blood as a sickening CRACKLE of breaking bones echoed from his body!
The force of the blow sent him flying backward like a cannonball. He crashed through several cars before finally slamming into a black sports car, where he came to a stop.
...
"Th-th... how is that man so powerful?!"
The woman’s eyes were wide as she stared at Su Xing’s back, her muttered words coming out as a stunned stammer.
