Chapter 348: A Fist Shattering the Armor
Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
The black lightning and the bloody light shattered the air apart, bring along incomparably rampant fluctuations as they violently collided like two meteors above the square.
Boom!
At the instant of the collision, even the earth seemed to shake intensely for a moment, while the ground within the square immediately collapsed. The black lightning light, as well as the extremely scarlet waves of blood, crazily erupted from within the centre of the square, corroding and trying to obliterate each other.
The ground under the feet of Mu Chen and Xue Shi turned into dust, layer by layer. The hard rock within the ground had seemingly turned into tofu, causing their feet to leave deep gouges within them.
The fist wrapped with a lightning bolt and the fistprint pervaded with blood were deadlocked in the air, while radiating with terrifying fluctuations, causing even the surrounding space to be shaken to the point of forming distortions.
Seeing this, Xue Shi’s face turned dark and overcast. The fist that he assumed would end this fight had unexpectedly been completely blocked by Mu Chen with his fleshly body. Furthermore, from the head-on impact of their fists, the latter’s black-coloured lightning bolts had actually dissipated some of the bloody aura enveloping his fist.
A considerably frightening power was contained within that black lightning.
“Die for me!”
With a roar, a Bloody Aura torrentially gushed out from within Xue Shi’s body. In an instant, his entire arm seemed to be condensed with blood, reeking of blood and was eye-catching, while radiating a thick and intense flavor of blood.
Across him, black lightning seemed to flash within Mu Chen’s black pupils. At this moment, destructive fluctuations started to spread out from his body, while the clothing around his upper body seemed to tear and disintegrate.
Following the disintegration of some of his clothing, one could see a black lightning rune surfacing on his chest.
At this moment, the black lightning rune was sparkling with bits of lightning light, before suddenly lighting up completely.
Thunder God Physique, Mono Rune Lightning Physique!
Relying on his month-plus training, while adding the supplementary effects of the Lightning God’s Lotus, Mu Chen’s Thunder God Physique had finally reached the true realm of the First Rune!
At the instant when the Lightning Rune lit up completely, Mu Chen’s body seemed to become thick and sturdy. Encased in black lightning, he appeared to be a god of lightning that had descended onto the world.
Boom!
As the rumble of thunder intensely shook the air, a lightning bolt erupted from within Mu Chen’s eyes as he sent his fist rumbling out.
“Scram!”
Accompanied by a clap of thunder, his explosive roar resounded out. In the next instant, churning with black lightning and radiating within unblockable grandeur, Mu Chen’s fist violently rumbled towards the blood-armored fist of Xue Shi.
At the instant of contact, Xue Shi’s face finally contorted as he became overwhelmed with shock. He was finally able to sense a frightening amount of power pouring out akin to an avalanche from Mu Chen’s fist.
Under that absolute power, his boundless blood-filled Spiritual Energy was smashed back in an instant.
This is bad!
Those words rang out involuntarily within Xue Shi’s heart. However, before he was able to even try to think about how Mu Chen’s sudden attack became so frightening, with a move, he had already explosively retreated.
However, why would Mu Chen, having a similarly rich combat experience, give him such a chance? Having endured for quite a long time, and having even activated his Thunder God Physique, he condensed his strongest power and sent blow after blow smashing down on Xue Shi!
Bang!
Therefore, at the instant when Xue Shi had just started to retreat, the power coming from Mu Chen had already smashed against him without any restraint.
Boom!
In the next instant, everyone was able to see black lightning rapidly spreading out all of a sudden at an astonishing speed. At this moment, the Spiritual Energy permeated by the bloody light was completely suppressed by it.
As a fist went rumbling across, black lightning surged forth.
Crack!
The armor covering Xue Shi’s fist seemingly shattered in an instant. Those malevolent spikes on it were also completely destroyed by the impact of the black lightning.
The black lightning was akin to a furious dragon that was planning to destroy the heavens and earth, brandishing its claws and opening its mouth, rampaging about without an ounce of fear.
Bang!
The blood armor covering Xue Shi’s entire arm was completely shattered, while a mouthful of blood was crazily spurted out by him. Like a stone that was being slapped, he shot backwards, before finally gouging a deep hundred metre long track on the ground.
At this moment, the sudden clap of thunder ringing in the square rapidly disappeared.
Following that, the black lightning and the bloody light had also started to slowly vanish, bit by bit. Nevertheless, the surroundings of the northern square were unexpectedly still in absolute silence, since everyone one was staring blankly at the square, eyes brimming with shock and terror.
In the square, Mu Chen was still maintaining his position with his fist extended out. The ground in front of him had a fissure running hundreds of metres long, with a stretch of ruins present at its end.
He had actually managed to send Xue Shi flying with a single fist!
Not only were the people from the Ancient Cauldron Spiritual Academy dumbfounded, even those students from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, whom had faith and confidence in Mu Chen, had their jaws hanging wide open. The previous scene where Mu Chen had sent Xue Shi flying with his fist truly possessed too much of a shock to their eyes…
