Chapter 256
Bullying the weak!
Zhao Wuji felt as if a stream of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone.
All his previous fierce aura melted away instantly, like ice and snow under the sun.
The massive body, possessed by the Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul, trembled violently and uncontrollably. The seven spirit rings beneath its feet dimmed rapidly, like candles flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
A tremendous fear gripped him, rendering him almost incapable of thinking, leaving only the most instinctive tremor of a creature facing its natural enemy.
The swelling and wounds on his face seemed less painful under extreme fear, leaving only a numb, cold sensation.
He remembered Flander's warning, and the destruction and rebirth that Lin Xia had brought during the day... Now, something even more terrifying has arrived?!
What did Shrek Academy do to deserve this?!
"To see Fudo Myoo in...this tiny place..."
Beneath the black robe, Tang Hao's voice finally rang out, deep and hoarse, with a metallic quality, each word seeming to strike Zhao Wuji's heart like a drumbeat, cold and devoid of any warmth.
"I just want to spar with you. It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles."
These words were like a death sentence, shattering Zhao Wuji's last shred of hope.
A friendly exchange?
A titled Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring seeks out a heavily injured Soul Saint for a "sparring match"?
This is clearly a blatant and brutal crushing!
It's a trial!
"senior……"
Zhao Wuji's voice was dry, like sandpaper scraping, filled with undisguised fear and pleading.
"I am truly unwell today... I was seriously injured during the day, and I fear... I fear I might offend your hands, senior..."
He wanted to explain, to beg for mercy, but under the terrifying pressure of the nine spirit rings, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
From the treetop, Zhu Zhuqing watched with great emotion, her little hands unconsciously gripping Lin Xia's clothes tightly.
She finally understood what Lin Xia meant by "good show"!
A titled Douluo!
A true pinnacle of power!
They actually came to challenge Zhao Wuji to a duel!
Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's puzzled look, Lin Xia said directly:
"Tang San is the son of this Title Douluo, do you understand now?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. This level of protectiveness was simply outrageous!
But at the same time, the power and domineering presence that belonged to her father also made her waver.
Lin Xia felt the excitement of the girl in his arms, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. He whispered in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and his warm breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe.
"Watch closely, Zhu Qing. This is the true fate of the 'Immovable King.' Bullying the weak? Taking advantage of the small? Heh, you've met your match, haven't you?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt her ears burning and her heart racing. She nodded slightly and focused her gaze even more intently on the ground below.
Tang Hao ignored Zhao Wuji's pleas. He slowly took a step forward.
Just one step!
Click—!
The solid ground beneath Zhao Wuji's feet shattered inch by inch like a spider web! The invisible pressure, like a tangible hammer, slammed heavily into his chest!
"puff--!"
Zhao Wuji felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood could no longer be suppressed, spitting out violently! His massive martial spirit possession state was suppressed by this pure power, and it swayed like a phantom, almost collapsing and dissipating!
His legs buckled, and his knees slammed heavily onto the cracked ground with a dull thud. He was so overwhelmed by the force of that step that he fell to his knees!
"No...don't..."
Zhao Wuji's eyes were filled with desperate fear. He raised his head, trying to see the face under the hood, hoping for a sliver of pity.
Tang Hao's second sentence was like a cold iron nail, completely pinning him to the abyss of despair.
"It seems you were quite adept at bullying children during the day."
The moment the words left his mouth, Tang Hao moved!
He didn't use any spirit rings, didn't use any flashy spirit skills, and didn't even lift that terrifying Clear Sky Hammer!
He simply raised his left hand casually, clenched it into a fist, and waved it lightly across the ground at Zhao Wuji, who was kneeling on the ground!
The movements were simple and unadorned, like brushing dust off one's shoulders.
However, at the very moment he threw his punch!
Boom! ...
An indescribable, terrifying power suddenly erupted! The air seemed to be instantly sucked into a vacuum, and then violently compressed and exploded by the incomparably violent force!
An invisible fist force!
It contains the domineering power of Haotian Douluo that can suppress the world!
Wherever the fist's energy passed, the space itself visibly distorted!
A terrifying, bottomless ravine was ploughed into the ground, and the soil and gravel were instantly annihilated into dust as if swallowed by an invisible behemoth!
The violent shockwave raged forward in a fan shape, uprooting large trees that would take several people to encircle, and pulling them into the storm like fragile stalks of wheat. In an instant, they were torn into countless wood chips!
This devastating fist energy, like a spear of divine punishment, struck Zhao Wuji, who was kneeling on the ground, with perfect accuracy!
"Do not--!!!"
Zhao Wuji let out a desperate roar like a dying beast, and the seven spirit rings on his body instantly burst out with dazzling light, with the third and fifth spirit rings lighting up at the same time!
"Gravity amplification! Immovable King Body!"
This is his strongest defensive stance!
He tried to use the earth as a shield and his Martial Soul True Body as armor to withstand this earth-shattering blow!
puff--!
The force of the fist strikes!
The imagined cataclysmic collision did not occur.
The invisible fist energy, which contained the power of a Title Douluo's attack, was like a red-hot iron pressed onto butter the moment it came into contact with the brownish-yellow soul power shield that Zhao Wuji had put up with all his might!
Sizzle—!
A piercing melting sound rang out!
The defensive light shield formed by Zhao Wuji's proud "Immovable King Body" soul skill, along with the force field created by his "Gravity Enhancement," was like a fragile soap bubble. It couldn't even withstand a moment of resistance before being easily pierced and annihilated by that domineering and unparalleled power!
The force of the fist, undiminished, slammed solidly into Zhao Wuji's chest!
"Ugh—!!!"
A chilling, explosive sound, like bones shattering into powder, suddenly erupted!
Zhao Wuji's massive body arched backward as if struck head-on by a battering ram!
His protective soul power on his chest, his tough bear fur, his thick muscles, and even his ribs below... everything that stood in his way was instantly twisted, deformed, and shattered!
Blood gushed out like a fountain from his mouth, nose, and the huge dent in his chest!
He was like a tattered, blood-red sack, blasted away by an unparalleled force! The speed was so fast that he left a blinding trail of blood in the air!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!
Zhao Wuji's body crashed into seven or eight towering ancient trees that required several people to encircle, like a cannonball!
The thick tree trunk was as fragile as paper before him, breaking and shattering in an instant! Wood chips mixed with blood mist spread in the moonlight.
Finally, his body slammed heavily onto a solid rock hundreds of meters away!
Boom-! ! !
A dull, drum-like roar echoed through the forest.
The hard rock surface was instantly covered with huge, spiderweb-like cracks, as if it had been hit by a meteorite, and a deep, human-shaped crater was smashed into the center!
Zhao Wuji's body was embedded in the very center of that crater.
The illusory image of the Mighty Vajra Bear on his body had long since disappeared, and the Martial Soul possession was forcibly dispelled, restoring him to his original burly human form.
At this moment, he could only be described as "a pitiful sight." (End of Chapter)
