289 The King’s Power
Meanwhile, Xu Yuexin kept her distance from Qin Huai and remained in his line of sight.
“Hello. Qin Huai, right? What’s the level of your realm now?” he asked.
“Third level,” Qin Huai replied with a solemn expression. Facing a genius from Qingzhou, he wouldn’t let his guard down, especially after the other party’s extraordinary performance earlier.
“Then I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll use my third-level bone pattern realm to fight you!” Xu Tu exhaled lightly, and endless waves seemed to emanate from him, making him look gentler.
“Here it is!” Xu Tu growled and tapped the ground lightly. Without an explosion, Xu Tu moved dozens of meters like water. He then suddenly appeared in front of Qin Huai, his palms grabbing at the air.
Water ripples connected up and down, attempting to seal Qin Huai within. It was the water flood palm technique!
But before Xu Tu could make contact, a white light wrapped in the power of ten dragons exploded in his face.
Rumble…
Xu Tu came in gently but left fiercely, his entire body flying out like a sharp arrow.
Stab!
Water rippled under his feet, and he rolled on the ground more than ten times before finally standing still.
“You don’t care about martial arts! You’re borrowing the power of the dragon corpse?” Xu Tu pointed at Qin Huai’s nose and shouted. What kind of power was that just now? The third-level bone pattern realm was supposed to be stronger than his fifth level.
Qin Huai looked at Xu Tu, who had been sent flying more than ten meters away. He was momentarily stunned and did not even have the time to react. This was a genius from Qingzhou?
However, for the sake of the great elder of the Blue Sea Pavilion beside him, he still endured it.
“My power is indeed a little stronger than ordinary people,” Qin Huai said sincerely.
Naturally, it couldn’t be calculated using common sense. What really surprised him was that he did not expect that the genius of Qingzhou, Xu Tu, was actually so much weaker than him in the same realm.
“I’m going to be serious now!” Xu Tu stretched his muscles. “You have to know that on the battlefield, others won’t only use the strength of the third-level bone pattern realm just because you’re only at the third level. In a battle of life and death, everyone has to do their best. Moreover, the true geniuses of Qingzhou have experienced countless life-and-death battles!”
Xu Tu’s words hardly finished when the fifth-level bone pattern realm rippled out.
Qin Huai looked at the person in front of him as if he was looking at a vast ocean. “Forbidden technique, ten-dragon tremor!”
The water screen appeared again, but the ripples were like cotton, swallowing the rumbling ten-dragon tremor. Xu Tu’s fists were unending, and he neutralized all of Qin Huai’s attacks.
This fellow… was he really only at the third-level bone pattern realm?
Xu Tu was far from convinced. Renowned as a genius in Qingzhou, he found himself bested by Qin Huai, who was two realms below him.
“Dragon wave fist!”
Xu Tu’s aura transformed in an instant. The initial gentleness morphed into a raging torrent, and his fists moved like tidal waves. Each wave surged higher than the last, each punch stronger than the one before. The waves roared like a dragon, as though a blue dragon’s soul had erupted from the sea to battle the ten white dragons.
Xu Tu’s courage grew with each strike, and after fifteen punches, he managed to suppress Qin Huai’s ten-dragon tremor.
“Heh” Xu Tu’s lips curled into a smug smile. “Once the dragon wave fist is activated, each punch surpasses the previous one! If it reaches a hundred strikes, I can bridge a vast realm and defeat an expert who has just entered the visceral prefecture realm.”
His expression grew even more gleeful. But in the next instant, he saw the white light in Qin Huai’s eyes flare brilliantly.
Boom!
A tremendous pressure suddenly bore down on Xu Tu’s body.
Ka
The ground beneath his feet cracked. Even his attacks seemed suppressed and slowed.
“They’re just petty tricks!” Xu Tu roared, the ground beneath him transforming into waves that dissipated the pressure.
He knew he could not afford to hesitate, so the speed of his fists accelerated.
Whoosh!
The aura before him abruptly retreated. Xu Tu’s furious waves appeared to lose the support of the sea cliff as they crashed toward Qin Huai’s slender frame.
“Petty”
His voice halted abruptly. In his vision, Qin Huai’s figure seemed to have become dozens of times more imposing. A deity-like fist dominated his entire field of view.
“Dragon King Shock!”
Boom!
The vast ocean shattered under the might of the dragon king.
Blood spurted from Xu Tu’s mouth and nose as he flew backward, dazed in mid-air. His feet sought the ground, but he could not feel his legs.
“Where are my legs?” Xu Tu shouted, but no sound emerged. In his mind, the only thing clear was the suffocating force of the dragon king.
“Wake up!”
A familiar voice called out, causing Xu Tu to snap back to reality.
“Ha!”
His ragged breath caused his feet to thud heavily on the ground.
Rumble
Xu Tu plowed seven to eight meters into the earth before coming to a stop.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead like rain. Just moments ago, his force had been shattered, and both his body and soul had been struck by the other party’s force.
This was the most terrifying aspect of a bone pattern realm expert’s attack. If one used force to kill an enemy, it might obliterate the person’s body and soul.
Collapsed on the ground, Xu Tu stared blankly at Qin Huai.
