Chapter 206: Chapter 149: Engagement 2
In the blink of an eye, armor covered both his main body and his duplicate, forming two armored figures that now stood before and behind Su Xing.
"The Spirit Realm?"
Their eyes met. The man stepped out of the Black Shadow, chuckled softly, and said:
"That’s right."
"And you are?"
Su Xing’s right hand clenched, the Black Sword instantly materializing in his palm. He asked softly.
"Asking for a name with a sword in your hand? That’s not very polite, is it?"
"However, there’s no harm in telling you. I am the Bishop of the Spiritual Sect. I’m also the ’mysterious master’ who’s been sending people after you."
The man was clad in Order Energy Armor, and his voice was deep and muffled, making it unpleasant to hear.
Su Xing was sizing him up.
At the same time, the man was sizing up Su Xing.
Compared to Su Xing’s composure,
the Bishop’s eyes flashed with a bright light, as if he had just seen some rare treasure. He clicked his tongue, marveling at the sight.
"Heh, interesting."
"I thought I’d be dealing with some expert from the Martial God Hall. I never expected it to be you, little one. You’re always so low-key, yet you managed to block my attack. Quite impressive."
"The Martial God Hall?"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow.
Understanding dawned on him instantly.
From those three words, Su Xing immediately knew the man had come because of the strange phenomenon.
This made things easier.
His feud with the Spirit Realm was already a fight to the death. It was easier to handle things if his opponent came alone.
Su Xing asked softly:
"Isn’t the entrance to the Spirit Realm guarded by a special organization? How did you manage to leave without anyone noticing?"
"Hm?"
"How strange."
"I thought you’d ask some useless question, like why I want to kill you."
"Asking that is just boring. You don’t really think guards of that caliber can keep us contained, do you?"
"I am a Tier Six, after all. You’re underestimating me."
the Bishop said, his tone full of arrogance.
He suddenly clenched his right fist. The sound of shifting armor plates echoed, a series of CLANK-CLANK-CLANKs filling the abandoned building.
"Just for show."
Su Xing glanced at him and said coolly, "Forcing your way out of the Spirit Realm must have taken a toll on you, right?"
"Leaving the Spirit Realm."
"Naturally requires a price."
"But as long as I get to kill you with my own hands, any price is worth it."
His bluff called by Su Xing, the Bishop showed no change in emotion, simply picking up the thread of conversation:
"What?"
"Thinking of begging for mercy?"
"If you kneel and beg, I might leave your body intact."
"You may have caused that phenomenon, but you’ve only just broken through to Tier Five, haven’t you? I could slaughter you with one hand. Resistance is futile."
"Submit to me."
"I’ll make your death a little less painful."
"Beg for mercy?"
Su Xing sneered. "Now that’s a good joke."
"However..."
"I’m more interested in beating you to death."
Su Xing was completely serious. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled back, revealing a row of menacing white teeth. The sight alone was enough to send a chill down one’s spine.
He despised it,
this kind of person who threatened those close to him.
That one attack...
If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough,
his uncle might have been hit.
Su Xing...
would never allow something like that to happen.
"Beat me to death?"
"A mere Tier Five dares to say something like that? Heh, your arrogance knows no bounds, boy!"
A frigid smile spread across the Bishop’s face.
The next moment,
his smile vanished,
replaced by a pair of cold eyes fixed on the composed Su Xing in the distance.
Su Xing completely ignored the change in the Bishop’s demeanor. He simply held his Black Sword and began walking forward, one step at a time.
As he walked,
the tip of his Black Sword lightly grazed the ground, carving a long, thin line. His calm aura gradually twisted into a shocking, tyrannical malevolence, and a frenzied killing intent began to surge from him.
The Bishop was a Tier Six, after all.
His perception was incredibly sharp.
The instant Su Xing’s aura shifted, the Bishop’s expression changed. His brow furrowed, and a look of astonishment crossed his face.
In just a few steps,
Su Xing seemed like a different person.
"If you dared to attack my family, then you should have been prepared to leave your life here."
The icy words pierced the Bishop’s ears like silver needles.
"Hmph!"
"How arrogant!"
His expression darkened,
and he let out a cold snort.
The duplicate behind Su Xing attacked first. With a light tap of its feet, it launched itself high into the air, turning sideways to unleash a flurry of kicks. Its armor-clad legs rained down on Su Xing.
A whirlwind of kicks stirred up a powerful gale.
Although the kicks didn’t look devastating, Su Xing knew that getting hit by even one would be worse than being run over by a dozen trucks.
Su Xing’s sword tip remained pointed at the ground, showing no intention of counterattacking. He simply dodged again and again. His feet were planted, but his upper body swayed left and right like a high-speed pendulum, pivoting at the waist.
The frenzied assault seemed overwhelming, yet every strike missed by a hair’s breadth, hitting nothing but air. After the entire barrage, Su Xing, relying solely on his evasions, was completely unscathed.
Seeing this,
the Archbishop’s main body joined the fight,
but the situation remained unchanged. Relying on his Body Technique alone, Su Xing led both the man and his duplicate in circles, completely unable to land a single blow on him.
"Damn it?!"
"How dare you humiliate me!"
"Let’s see you dodge this!!!"
Whether out of shock or rage, the Bishop roared, and the duplicate beside him dissolved into energy and surged into his body.
Then,
a violent explosion erupted from the Bishop’s chest and abdomen.
The sound was like thunder, his movement like a bolt of lightning.
Although the Bishop’s armor didn’t change in size, the energy radiating from him nearly doubled. He leaned forward, dropped his right shoulder, flared his right elbow, and attacked Su Xing in the most direct and unadorned manner.
Just as the blow was about to land,
the Bishop suddenly saw Su Xing’s right hand move.
Not only that,
Su Xing’s right hand slashed out, the Black Sword swinging toward the Bishop’s waist!
BANG!!!
The Bishop reacted quickly.
Despite his anger and his disdain for a Tier Five, he hadn’t let it cloud his judgment. Even as he launched his frenzied attack, his eyes had remained fixed on Su Xing’s sword.
This was a clash of fist and sword!
BOOM!!!
A sharp crack echoed as power met power. The entire abandoned building seemed to shudder, threatening to collapse completely.
One move failed, the next began!
Su Xing clenched his left fist, and the Snake Sword instantly coalesced in his hand. He slashed it toward the Bishop!
"Hmph!!!"
"Such an obvious move! Are you looking down on me?!"
the Bishop roared in fury.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Instead of retreating, he charged forward. His right hand struck out again, the fist completely ignoring Su Xing’s Snake Sword as it smashed toward Su Xing’s body!
BOOM!!!
They were both struck at almost the same instant, their figures sent flying backward!
The Bishop stumbled back dozens of steps before his body slammed into the rear wall, embedding him in it. A small snake was coiled around the armor on his shoulder, seemingly about to pierce his final defense formed from Order Energy.
His heart seized with alarm and his face paled. He immediately used all his Order Energy to crush the small snake, only then breathing a sigh of relief.
As for Su Xing, taking a direct punch from a Tier Six Transcendent was naturally no small matter, but compared to the Bishop, his injuries could be described as superficial.
He had only stumbled back a few steps before managing to stop himself. The death of the small snake was no loss to him either; he could simply form another.
The exchange of blows happened in a flash, a mere instant given the physical capabilities of two Extraordinary Beings.
But Su Xing’s next move completely ignited the Bishop’s fury. His expression turned hideous, veins bulging on his forehead. The malice in his eyes was so intense he looked like he wanted to swallow Su Xing whole.
Because,
Su Xing had put one hand behind his back.
