Chapter 239: Chapter 165: A Sliver of Chance, Life-and-Death Struggle!

"The person before me is injured, does not strengthen his physical body... and is extremely arrogant, looking down on me!"

Su Mu could see that the black-robed elder began with ridicule, fighting from above with a condescending attitude, looking down to an extreme extent, did not even consider him and has been empty-handed till now, not even using a single weapon.

Precisely because he noticed these three points, Su Mu quietly activated one of his four great talents for inference when resisting the cyan giant palm directly. Inference can be used not only for martial arts but also in battle, albeit extremely taxing on the mind when used this way.

But Su Mu couldn’t care about that now, he knew very well this battle wasn’t a war of attrition; if caught in a long fight, he would undoubtedly die; he could only gamble on a slim chance.

Everything he did was for this imminent strike.

At the critical moment, Su Mu suppressed the backlash from interrupting the Thunder Shock Fist, every inch of flesh quickly writhing as cyan light flourished, the jade bone of the fourth bone forging pushed to the extreme, showering Su Mu’s whole body with cyan glow.

Hiss!

Instantly, scorching heat erupted from within Su Mu, followed by a splash of crimson flowing over the cyan glow, covering him in an instant, then three inches of crimson flame rose on every inch of flesh and skin.

Molten Fire Golden Body and Molten Fire Golden Bell!

The surrounding air twisted violently, flames condensing into a gigantic inverted golden bell under the infusion of unreserved pill force, a flaming giant tiger suddenly lit atop the bell, roaring its Tiger Roar.

Roar!

This was the first move Su Mu created for the Molten Fire Golden Body.

Upon unleashing this move, even a physique tempered by several cross-training martial arts plus the extreme jade bone state still left Su Mu feeling unbearably scorched, as if his flesh was truly burning, causing his facial muscles to twitch and a muffled groan to escape.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the gigantic cyan palm, spanning three zhang, struck the molten fire golden bell.

Clang!

Thunderous sound akin to a sudden thunder reverberated, fire erupted and rose, swallowing the area where the two stood in an instant.

Crackling!

Where the two stood, the entire dense forest quaked as if an earthquake occurred, earth fissured, cracks splitting open and spreading in all directions.

"What, what’s happening?"

"Could it be an earthquake outside the city?"

At Qingyun North City Gate, drowsy patrolling Cyan Cloud soldiers were suddenly jolted awake, a high-pitched Tiger Roar and deafening explosions sounding from outside the city, firelight suddenly illuminating the night.

In the dense forest, terrifying aftershocks sent dust and rocks flying around the two for several zhang, violently swirling and exploding in mid-air.

Crackle!

The giant palm shattered, cracks forming densely on the golden bell, and before it completely broke, a huge crack appeared in the spiritual barrier before the elder.

The molten fire golden bell, leveraging the proximity of the black-robed elder, aimed to shatter Su Mu with its palm strike, reversing the spiritual barrier front and shattering it.

As the one who unleashed the molten fire golden bell, Su Mu trembled violently, and reversing the palm strike required enduring it first, yet that palm was far from easily borne.

Suddenly, Su Mu’s orifices bled, the closely worn Snow Silkworm Treasure Armor tore in threads, blood spilling from his body until he looked like a bloody person.

Argh!

He felt as if every inch of his skin, flesh, and even his internal organs were about to be torn apart. Intense pain spread simultaneously from each inch of his body, a mouthful of blood mixed with visceral fragments spurted from his mouth.

At this moment, within Su Mu’s body, all meridians showed signs of complete fracture, in the introspection state the cyan glow of the jade bone appeared full of cracked textures, like ceramics about to shatter anytime.

Su Mu had no doubt that once the jade bone state lifted, all his meridians would snap; even the jade bone of the fourth bone forging would break and shatter.

Su Mu’s physical condition was unprecedentedly dire, but the black-robed elder wasn’t doing well either.

Cough, cough!

The black-robed elder let out a few coughs, the rebound making his bones tremble, retreating several steps, a look of fear appeared for the first time on his face, "Buddhist Method, you approached just to reverse the palm strike at me, lunatic, you are truly crazy!"

The black-robed elder exclaimed, realizing this youngster had been acting, everything aimed to reverse his palm strike against him, exchanging life for life.

"Die!"

Su Mu’s eyes were bloodshot, the world before him twisted and blurred, he growled low.

At this moment, Su Mu forgot any martial arts, any fist technique, the pain made him wish for death, his consciousness rapidly fading, leaving only instinct.

The pill force-infused right fist lifted heavily and slammed onto the spiritual barrier. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Crackling!

As the fist crashed down, the spiritual barrier shattered loudly, seeing this scene, the black-robed elder panicked completely, spiritual light flashed in his hand, yet his physique couldn’t compare to a martial artist’s, the rebound putting him a beat behind.

And at that instant, suddenly a blood palm reached out, the palm exerting a squeeze forcefully, pain stagnating the elder’s internal spiritual flow, spiritual light dissipated.

Crackle!

The black-robed elder’s right arm suddenly let out a bone-cracking sound, seized and snapped by Su Mu, twisted violently, the elder’s face contorted, letting out a piercing scream.

A segment of withered arm was directly ripped and torn bloody.
