Free Web NovelChapter 96: Chapter 88: Slaying, the Vice Bishop’s Punch
Of course, while some watched with excitement, others felt a chill run straight up their spines.
"A bunch of idiots. This is clearly a battle between Extraordinary Beings. Do you want to end up like those innocent people at the station, gawked at by future generations in a video?"
"I don’t care about you guys. I’m getting out of here."
But their departure didn’t dampen the spirits of the crowd who intended to stay and watch.
Just then, someone noticed the blue-haired woman’s figure jerking and stuttering—almost as if she were flickering—as she charged wildly in their direction.
"Hey, is she coming toward us?"
"Damn it, of course she is! Run!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the previously calm scene erupted into chaos. Not a single person dared to stay and watch the show. Those with cars scrambled into them; those without fled frantically in every direction. Soon, the crowd had vanished without a trace.
...
The Space High Priest frantically activated her Sequence, continuously fleeing forward, trying to get away from the monster behind her.
Although the speed and distance of her [Spatial Items] were not as fast or as far as a [Spatial Ghost]’s, it was a Space Sequence ability after all, and it had its own advantages when it came to escaping.
When she finally zipped to a deserted area, she patted the rock wall beside her and let out a sigh of relief.
"I should be safe now."
Fear had enveloped her, making her flee in such a blind panic that she no longer even knew where she was.
She glanced around. There was no one in sight, only vast expanses of rock walls. She had to be far from the Dragon Heaven Building by now.
Just as she thought she had finally escaped.
A sudden BOOM rang out.
Su Xing stomped his right foot, instantly creating a large crater in the ground. The violent reactive force propelled him from the base of the mountain to its peak, and he slashed down toward the Space High Priest!
"Damn it! Why do you have to be so relentless?!"
The Space High Priest roared in fury.
She had done everything in her power to escape, yet Su Xing had still managed to catch up. It was incredible, but the Space High Priest now understood one thing: she couldn’t run. She had to fight to the death!
She forced open her eyes, weary from the continuous chase, and slapped her own head hard as if she were drunk. Then, she forcefully tore open the space beside her and dove right in.
HSSS!
Amidst the hum of distorted space, her figure suddenly appeared at Su Xing’s side. Like a rabid bitch barking and snarling, she lunged at him, her right hand coated in dense sequence energy and formed into a blade that chopped toward Su Xing!
But before her hand-blade could touch him, Su Xing was already slashing down. His majestic figure was cloaked in a ferocious, domineering sword light. As he moved at high speed, he left a brilliant trail that shattered every rock in its path!
In the next moment, Su Xing and the Space High Priest clashed in the most primitive, brutal, and direct way imaginable!
With a deafening BOOM!
The ground beneath their collision couldn’t withstand the impact and instantly shattered, forming a massive crater with cracks spreading out in all directions like a dense spiderweb.
The Space High Priest knew she was completely outmatched. It felt as if she had been run over by a train. Even as a Tier Four Peak Sequencer, she couldn’t withstand this one strike. Her entire body erupted in bursts of blood mist.
Her whole body slammed into the nearby mountain wall like a dirty rag!
BOOM!
With another thunderous crash, the Space High Priest was embedded in the mountain wall like a specimen. After a long moment, she slowly peeled herself free and fell to the ground, violently coughing up a large mouthful of blood.
She wanted to use her Space Sequence to escape immediately, but she found that her sequence energy seemed to have been completely depleted.
No matter how she tried to activate it, her body was like a crashed computer, lying on the ground, unable to move.
"Why did you have to provoke me?"
Su Xing walked over slowly, looking down at the barely breathing Space High Priest.
The Space High Priest gave the mysterious expert a resentful look and then roared:
"To die for the cause of the Spiritual Sect, my conscience is clear! If you’re going to kill me, then kill me! Stop wasting your breath!"
Hearing this, Su Xing didn’t say another word.
He simply raised his Black Sword, aimed it at the Space High Priest, and was about to strike.
But the Space High Priest, as if her impending death had suddenly loosened her tongue, looked at the mysterious expert’s face, shadowed by his hat, and said with a cold sneer:
"You will come to a bad end for obstructing my Lord’s plans!"
"So what if you can beat me? Do you really think you can beat the Vice Bishop?"
"I advise you to leave Su Yu and Su Xing alone from now on. With your abilities, you could go anywhere and do anything you want, so why get involved?"
Su Xing found the Space High Priest’s words almost laughable. He said nothing, simply channeling "Mountain Breaker" and thrusting his sword directly at her head!
"You dare!!!"
Just then, an incredibly violent ripple of power erupted!
Su Xing had no idea where it came from, but the terrifying aura the newcomer exuded sent his sense of crisis into overdrive!
Without a moment’s hesitation, he plunged his Black Sword into the Space High Priest’s body, then immediately yanked it out and instinctively brought it up to defend himself. A man had appeared out of nowhere and slammed a fist directly onto Su Xing’s Black Sword!
BANG!!!
The air swirled violently as a fierce gale blasted him!
Su Xing heard a sharp CRACK. The Black Sword, which had always been indestructible, shattered in the very next instant!
At the same time, the space around them shattered. A ferocious power surged through his hands and into his body, forcing a muffled groan from Su Xing as a trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth.
The man saw that Su Xing had taken his punch head-on and actually survived. A flash of surprise appeared in his eyes, followed by an even more unrestrained rage!
’Just a mere Tier Four,’
’How dare he withstand a punch from me, the Vice Bishop?!’
A Tier Five aura surged forth. An intensely hot flame suddenly erupted from his fist as he threw another punch, smashing it toward Su Xing!
Having already taken one punch, Su Xing’s eyes turned crimson. Even without his Black Sword, he had no intention of backing down. Using his fist as a sword, he let a white blade of light flare up around his right fist and smashed it toward the man before him!
BOOM!
The immense force instantly caused the air to explode. A violent shockwave erupted as the air, wildly compressed by their fists, transformed into terrifying streams of high-pressure currents, forming transparent, visible ripples that surged outward in all directions!
Amidst this terrifying roar, their fists slammed heavily into one another!
BOOM!
With a violent crash, Su Xing felt his right arm nearly shatter from the terrifying punch. The immense force left his fist dripping with blood, and his body was uncontrollably blasted backward.
Su Xing used the momentum, pushed off with his right foot, and spun his body around. Transforming into an afterimage, he fled into the distance at an unimaginable speed!
The man crouched, ready to give chase, but then he suddenly realized that his abrupt appearance had caused Su Xing’s sword to miss its target—her head.
The Space High Priest seemed to still be breathing.
This immediately killed his desire to pursue. He strode to her side and began infusing her with his sequence energy, attempting to save her.
But the more he infused, the more he realized she wasn’t getting any better. His sequence energy seemed to be blocked by another power, completely unable to affect her injured body.
It wasn’t until she took her last breath that he realized it was a lingering effect from the mysterious expert’s final strike. He narrowed his eyes and slowly stood up, an intensely hot flame igniting all over his body as he roared in fury:
"You dare kill my daughter... YOU’RE DEAD!!!!"
