Chapter 419 - 346: Treat It
Looking into Xiong Chunyang’s eyes filled with fierce flames, Tang Jiao’s heart skipped a beat, thinking this was bad!
The next moment, Xiong Chunyang stomped on the ground. The air exploded, and in an instant, he crossed several hundred meters and punched towards Tang Jiao’s chest!
Caught off guard, Tang Jiao only had time to cross her arms in front of her.
“Bang!”
Her arms felt like they were struck by a hammer weighing thousands of pounds, and then heavily collided with her chest.
The immense power made Tang Jiao’s breath catch. She was sent flying over a hundred meters before she barely stabilized herself in mid-air.
“Ugh!”
Tang Jiao’s throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth. Her outermost right arm hung limply at her side, the bone cracked, causing cold sweat to break out on her forehead as she gritted her teeth in pain.
“Roar!!”
Xiong Chunyang’s face twisted, his eyes full of ferocity and bloodlust, seemingly in a state of irrational chaos. He stomped again and charged towards Tang Jiao.
Tang Jiao felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, her face pale. She forced herself to suppress her discomfort and used invisibility to dodge backward.
However, at this moment, Xiong Chunyang had the astonishing instinct and perception of a beast. He locked onto Tang Jiao’s scent and in no time, he was about to reach her again.
“Damn it!”
Tang Jiao’s face grew grim. She reached out her left hand to draw her long blade in self-defense, only to see a large swath of silver light flash before her, forming a Space Barrier blocking her way.
“Boom!”
Xiong Chunyang crashed into it headfirst. The immense force caused the Space Barrier to tremble with spiritual light.
“This…?”
Tang Jiao’s expression shifted slightly. She turned her head and looked to the other side. It was Su Yuan who had made a move.
Su Yuan’s hands moved with spiritual light. Five more Space Barriers appeared above and below, forming a Broken Space to completely trap Xiong Chunyang.
Within the Broken Space, no gaps existed, and Star Power could adjust on each wall to reinforce one, effectively sealing Xiong Chunyang inside.
“Thank you!”
Tang Jiao finally caught her breath. She patted her chest and immediately thanked Su Yuan.
Su Yuan nodded, then looked into the Broken Space.
Trapped inside, Xiong Chunyang grew even more frenzied. A large amount of blood-red malicious energy gathered on his fists as he continuously punched the Broken Space walls.
The fierce fist power quickly caused the entire Broken Space to shake violently.
“Crash!”
As if a mirror shattering, Xiong Chunyang suddenly broke through the Broken Space with a punch and leaped out, glaring fiercely at the retreating Tang Jiao.
“Damn it!”
Tang Jiao’s heart tightened. Since invisibility couldn’t evade him, she’d have to face him head-on!
A surge of dark light roared over Tang Jiao’s body, ready to pull Xiong Chunyang into her Domain.
However, at this moment, Xiong Chunyang shifted his gaze and suddenly looked far into the distance at Su Yuan.
“Roar!”
With a roar, Xiong Chunyang stomped the ground, shot out like a bullet, and in just two breaths reached Su Yuan, his entire body surging with blood-red energy as he threw a punch.
Tang Jiao immediately cried out in alarm, “Watch out, he’s very strong…!”
“Bang!!”
Before Tang Jiao could finish her sentence, a loud explosion echoed mid-air!
Tang Jiao’s pupils contracted. She barely parted her lips, unable to finish her words.
In the high sky, Su Yuan’s body was surrounded by green flames. With a single hand holding his saber, he caught Xiong Chunyang’s fist.
Not a step back, his saber unwavering, the lean body concealing unimaginable fearsome strength!
Su Yuan coldly looked at the frenzied, mindless Xiong Chunyang, saying, “Keep going berserk, and I’ll have to treat you.”
“Roar!”
With a low growl, Xiong Chunyang swung his other fist.
A trace of coldness appeared in Su Yuan’s eyes. His body seemed to virtualize, passing through Xiong Chunyang’s fist, appearing behind him. Then his saber glowed black as he swung it at Xiong Chunyang’s back.
It was an application of Local Transfer.
The sudden, intricate change left Xiong Chunyang no time to react. He was immediately struck by Su Yuan’s slash, leaving a foot-long wound!
Blood surged, but the wound was neither too deep nor too shallow.
“Heh, quite tough. No wonder no one could handle you, and… your blood-red energy has strengthened. Is it converting pain into power?”
Su Yuan’s silver eyes gleamed. Under the All-Knowing Vision, he saw a peculiar, invisible force emerging from Xiong Chunyang’s wound, amplifying his blood-red malicious energy.
Having observed earlier, Su Yuan already discerned most of it. Now with a slight try, he understood the opponent’s power.
Similar to Huang Xiang’s Boiling Blood, the more severely injured, the stronger they became.
Except, Xiong Chunyang’s power was purer, clearly deriving from his Power of Soul.
The enhancement was greater, boosting strength, agility, defense, and physique significantly.
At this moment, Xiong Chunyang, slashed on the back, roared in pain and turned around to punch again.
Su Yuan’s left hand grabbed into the air, and several Sky Lock chains emerged, binding Xiong Chunyang in place.
Xiong Chunyang’s brute force, heightened by his transformation, made the chains tremble. It seemed they couldn’t hold for long.
But a few seconds was enough for Su Yuan.
Holding his saber with both hands, he stabbed Xiong Chunyang’s chest. Black flames surged up the blade, with golden flares glowing brighter.
“No!!”
In the distance, Tang Jiao cried out in shock, not expecting the situation to reverse so drastically.
The initially overbearing Xiong Chunyang was subdued by Su Yuan in a flash, and it looked like Su Yuan intended to kill?!
But Su Yuan didn’t stop. The Phoenix Perch Saber plunged into Xiong Chunyang’s body, unable to pierce through immediately.
Yet, Su Yuan was calm, softly saying, “Anode Divine Spear.”
The Phoenix Perch Saber’s temperature soared, its black and red light shining brightly. In a Flash, it shot forward nearly a thousand meters, even piercing through a distant mountaintop!
Xiong Chunyang’s body shuddered, ceasing all movement.
“This?!!”
Tang Jiao froze, utterly stunned by how things unfolded.
Was Su Yuan really trying to kill Xiong Chunyang?!
Killing a colleague in Sky Patrol Department was forbidden!
Killing a comrade without permission was punishable by White Tiger Imperial’s hunt.
Quickly, Tang Jiao noticed something strange. Xiong Chunyang’s aura had dipped but hadn’t rapidly weakened or disappeared.
Clearly, this blow wasn’t lethal.
Tang Jiao’s mind stirred, hurrying over…
At this moment, Sky Lock had been retracted by Su Yuan, but Xiong Chunyang remained motionless.
Upon closer inspection, Xiong Chunyang’s eyes no longer held the fierce light; he was clear-headed again.
Now, staring at the saber through his left chest, Xiong Chunyang’s fierce and violent demeanor turned to panic and apprehension, cold sweat covering his forehead!
It turned out, Su Yuan’s Anode Divine Spear had missed Xiong Chunyang’s heart by an inch when it pierced through.
Xiong Chunyang’s heartbeat nearly brushed against the blade with each contraction!
Rushing over, Tang Jiao couldn’t see precisely inside Xiong Chunyang. Still, judging from his state and the saber’s position, she guessed it missed his heart.
Glancing at Su Yuan with suspicion, her tension eased slightly.
In fact, Su Yuan had three ways in mind to wake the irrational Xiong Chunyang.
First, use Skills like Heart Clearing Spell or Purification Technique to restore sanity; Su Yuan didn’t know these.
Second, drain his power to clear his mind.
Like exhausting his rage and strength;
Or draining his blood to induce weakness.
But this was slow, so Su Yuan chose the third option…
Plunge him into the fear of death; he might snap awake.
And now, Su Yuan succeeded, fully waking Xiong Chunyang.
Not just awake, he didn’t dare move or breathe heavily, fearing his heart might shift and hit the blade!
Heart damage was incurable, even for a Shining Star warrior.
“Awake?” Su Yuan asked.
“Mm… Awake, very awake!”
Locking eyes with Su Yuan’s silver, indifferent pupils and knowing his life hung by a thread, Xiong Chunyang’s usually fierce heart felt a cold chill.
Though irrational, Xiong Chunyang sensed Su Yuan might really slit his heart if displeased!
Nearby, Tang Jiao’s heart pounded, admiring Su Yuan’s bold skill.
The heart lay in the left chest, yet everyone’s structure varied, especially Xiong Chunyang’s transformed state.
A slight miscalculation could spell disaster!
But Tang Jiao didn’t know that Su Yuan’s silver eyes saw through Xiong Chunyang’s body.
Su Yuan’s eyes flashed a warning at Xiong Chunyang.
With a thought, the Phoenix Perch Saber’s black-red light brightened, then quickly retracted.
“Slowly!” Xiong Chunyang’s forehead dripped with cold sweat, terrified Su Yuan might slip and kill him.
Yet, Su Yuan’s move was clean. Retracting the Anode Divine Spear, he drew back the Phoenix Perch Saber smoothly.
Su Yuan’s actions weren’t just to wake Xiong Chunyang.
Though powerful, Xiong Chunyang was arrogant and reckless, disregarding the team.
If it were just the Hundred Flames Association level, Su Yuan wouldn’t care. Let him be.
But with such strong teammates, Su Yuan felt this task wasn’t simple.
If faced with even more difficult situations, Xiong Chunyang’s reckless, self-centered behavior might endanger the whole escort team!
Thus, Su Yuan decisively struck to intimidate him.
