Eternal Sacred King

2186 Thunderous Methods

Apart from the two potential Earth Ranking experts, the reason why Xue Yuan dared to challenge a disciple of the academy was because this was the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

If a conflict was too serious, the capital guards would definitely come to maintain order.

There was something strange about the iron sword. Since he had already obtained it, there was no reason for him to give it up.

“Aren’t you going to return it?”

Su Zimo murmured softly with a calm tone.

Xue Yuan smiled gently. Just as he was about to speak and continue beating around the bush, he felt his vision blur as a figure tore through the air with a suffocating aura.

Su Zimo had already closed in and was less than a foot away!

It was too fast!

Earlier on, he was a refined and scholarly scholar. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into an ancient beast that could devour the world. His malevolent qi was almost corporeal as it surged over!

Xue Yuan’s heart skipped a beat and his expression changed.

He was fearful and his aura was suppressed instantly.

“This is bad!”

Xue Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, he realized that he had lost the initiative and would definitely not be able to defend against Su Zimo’s next attack.

“Retreat!”

Xue Yuan retreated rapidly. Before he could summon his Dharmic treasure, he conjured hand seals with both hands and channeled his spirit consciousness to condense divine powers.

At the same time, a phantom-like figure appeared behind him and his blood qi burst forth with the sound of a tsunami. He raised his fist and punched towards Su Zimo who was approaching!

It was Dou Yuan—the one who could potentially be ranked in the top 20 of the Earth Ranking.

Initially, Dou Yuan’s background was ordinary. However, because of his outstanding talent, he was selected by the Xue Clan and groomed intensively. Gradually, he became famous in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.

After the fight for the Earth Ranking this time round, the Xue Clan was prepared to grant him the surname Xue.

“Scram!”

Su Zimo hollered and punched towards Dou Yuan’s fist without even looking at him.

Bang!

The fists collided and the surrounding void shook.

The sound of bones grinding echoed in an extremely jarring manner.

Su Zimo paused for a moment and stomped on the ground, causing the long street to tremble. His speed increased once more as he chased after Xue Yuan!

Dou Yuan’s expression changed starkly as he retreated in succession.

Every single step landed heavily on the long street, letting out reverberating echoes.

“You’re quite capable to be able to take a punch from me,”

Su Zimo brushed past Dou Yuan and said indifferently.

Initially, Dou Yuan intended to knock Su Zimo back with his punch. However, he did not expect that his punch merely caused Su Zimo to pause for a moment.

As for him, he was almost sent flying and his Tsunami Blood qi was disrupted by Su Zimo’s punch!

The reason why he was thought to be able to be ranked in the top 20 of the Earth Ranking was because he had a strong physique, shocking stamina, surging blood qi and terrifying melee combat strength.

However, he had not expected that he would be forced back by a single punch from a seemingly frail scholar today!

When Dou Yuan saw Su Zimo rushing towards Xue Yuan, he wanted to step forward and save Xue Yuan.

However, the moment he moved, he felt his chest churn.

He hurriedly raised his sleeves and covered his face. Thereafter, he opened his mouth and spat out an arrow of blood that splattered on his sleeves.

At that moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to Su Zimo and no one saw that.

Dou Yuan was shocked.

He was injured with a single punch!

Who was this academy disciple?

On the other side, Su Zimo’s speed was shocking and he caught up to Xue Yuan who was retreating in the blink of an eye. With a burning gaze, he extended his palm and condensed the Great Chaos Essence Palm to suppress the latter!

“Kill!”

Xue Yuan roared and released his greater divine power, the Asura Dao!

At the same time, the Xue Clan guards around him attacked one after another. Some of them summoned Dharmic treasures, some released immortal arts and some condensed divine powers.

“Break!”

Against the surrounding Dharmic treasures, immortal arts and divine powers, Su Zimo did not dodge or avoid and shouted.

Although the voice was not as terrifying as the Dragon Roar secret skill, it contained the Dharmic formulation of the sound domain secret skills such as Thunderclap Kill.

The expressions of the surrounding Xue Clan guards changed!

The divine powers and immortal arts that were just condensed dissipated.

The Dharmic treasures that were summoned fell from midair as well.

The guards had pained expressions and hugged their heads with both hands. They felt a sharp pain in their ears as their minds buzzed and went blank.

These people could barely protect themselves, let alone Xue Yuan.

Su Zimo did not activate the Dragon Roar secret skill directly. On the one hand, it was his trump card and he would not use it casually.

On the other hand, the Xue Clan guards would most likely be shocked to death if the Dragon Roar secret skill was released!

Su Zimo merely wanted to teach Xue Yuan a lesson and retrieve the iron sword. He did not want to start a massacre and there was no deep feud between them.

On the other side, Dou Yuan’s blood qi had already calmed down. The moment he moved forward, he heard that shout before he could attack.

His blood qi rumbled and he could not hold it in any longer. He covered his lips hurriedly and spat out another mouthful of blood!

Xue Yuan, who was the closest, shuddered as well.

However, his physique was extraordinary and he grit his teeth to defend against it. Although his greater divine power showed signs of dissipating, it did not disappear!

Right then, the Great Chaos Essence Palm descended.

Boom!

Even the materialized Asura Dao might not be able to defend against Su Zimo’s Great Chaos Essence Palm, let alone a greater divine power that was almost dispersed.

The Asura Dao was destroyed by a single palm strike and a gigantic palm descended. Xue Yuan had nowhere to run as he gripped the iron sword in his hands and stabbed in reverse!

When the Great Chaos Essence Palm descended and was about to make contact with the iron sword, all the power suddenly dissipated.

That ferocious and crushing power suddenly turned into a gentle power.

There was no sluggishness in the transition between toughness and softness—it was astounding.

Su Zimo placed his palm on the iron sword. With a coil and a tremble, he snatched the iron sword away barehanded.

At the same time, he took another step forward and pushed down on Xue Yuan’s chest!

“You!”

Xue Yuan’s heart skipped a beat and his reaction was extremely fast. He retracted his entire chest as though it had caved in. At the same time, he pulled back his arm and blocked in front of him.

“Hmph!”

Su Zimo sneered and pushed Xue Yuan’s arm gently before retreating.

Crack!

Xue Yuan’s arm was snapped.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Immediately after, a series of crackling sounds came from Xue Yuan’s chest, as though beans were being fried. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

A gigantic and clear palm print appeared on Xue Yuan’s chest!

Psst!

Everyone gasped.

Earlier on, Su Zimo’s palm strike seemed light and powerless. To think that it would possess such a terrifying might!

Not only did he snap Xue Yuan’s arm, the latter’s sternum was shattered and his heart was ruptured!

Both parties exchanged blows extremely quickly.

From the moment Su Zimo attacked till the end, it only took four to five breaths.

Su Zimo was still standing where he was exactly, as though he had never moved. His green robes were spotless without any wrinkles.

However, there was an additional iron sword in his hands.

As for the Xue Clan opposite, they were in a mess.

Dou Yuan’s expression was terrible.

The Xue Clan guards were at a loss and Xue Yuan had fallen to the ground, severely injured!

Such thunderous methods created a massive commotion in the crowd nearby!
