Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 146 - 144: Extreme Realm Xiong Dang Mountain
Song Changming’s strength primarily comes from the Eight Bull Power bestowed by the Bull Demon Skill realm, as well as the comprehensive results of repeated strengthening from cultivating other Body Refining Skills!
As for Xiong Dang Mountain’s strength, besides his cultivation which has reached the Peak of Nine Realms Body Refining, it also lies in his innate strength, surpassing the average person!
Claiming that he has Innate Divine Power might be somewhat exaggerated.
But compared to martial artists in the same Extreme Realm, he can absolutely outperform them in terms of strength!
Having always been accustomed to overpowering others with force, this time when facing Song Changming, whose body refining cultivation is clearly weaker, he cannot crush him, which is undoubtedly beyond his expectations.
Song Changming warded off the heavy saber slashing down, immediately engaging in a rapid exchange of dozens of blows with the opponent at their original positions!
Each strike was full of force, as if they were wielding two large hammers instead of sabers.
Even the floor beneath them couldn’t bear the heavy burden, unable to withstand wave after wave of force, constantly cracking with lines.
Strong! Very strong!
Xiong Dang Mountain, this master of the Extreme Realm, is undoubtedly a formidable opponent for Song Changming.
Amongst the opponents Song Changming has faced, in terms of strength, Xiong Dang Mountain definitely ranks first!
In contrast, Liu Dingsheng, who is also of Extreme Realm strength, due to being advanced in age, lags behind a lot compared to the prime of Xiong Dang Mountain.
Boom!
The beams, tables, and chairs inside the house were shattered by the battle impact between the two.
The whole house seemed to be on the verge of collapse, even the obstructive large bed was chopped into pieces.
Unfortunately, Chu Huai hiding underneath was rescued by other imperial guards.
Almost simultaneously, the entire roof collapsed, interrupting the duel between the two, each returning to the courtyard.
At this moment, Song Changming also noticed the situation in the courtyard.
The other assassins arranged by Gu Wenhui were still deeply surrounded by multiple imperial guards.
Most unexpectedly, the Extreme Realm martial artist earlier battling Xiong Dang Mountain had already been injured by him beforehand.
And he seemed seriously hurt, greatly reducing his strength, becoming entangled with imperial guards, unable to resolve the situation.
Just watching helplessly as Young Prince Chu Huai escaped right before their eyes.
Song Changming couldn’t accept the mission’s failure and promptly used the Light Body Skill to chase after the fleeing Young Prince.
"Stop!" Xiong Dang Mountain originally intended to have a great battle with Song Changming, but his Light Body Skill mastery wasn’t as high, failing to block Song Changming at the first moment.
"Young Prince, you go first!"
A few imperial guards, seeing Song Changming coming to kill, immediately tried desperately to block him.
In terms of loyalty, these elite guards were indeed faithful, willing to die for the royal lineage they served!
But Song Changming was now like a God of Slaughter possessed, having killed many elite imperial guards already.
Dealing with the remaining guards before him, he showed no mercy.
The sound of the saber tearing through skin and piercing flesh constantly stimulated Chu Huai’s nerves, causing him to flee aimlessly like a headless fly.
No one was protecting him anymore, making him feel very insecure.
Just as he circled to another courtyard, suddenly he saw a figure as if appearing out of nowhere in the moonlight, landing on the wall.
He fervently wished this figure was Xiong Dang Mountain coming to rescue him.
But soon, he was horrified to discover that the figure was this night’s grim reaper!
The first to catch up was Song Changming!
He regretted deeply now, knowing he shouldn’t have wandered randomly earlier but should have hidden behind Xiong Dang Mountain for protection.
Unlike now, when despair lurked.
Song Changming looked down expressionless at the Young Prince.
"Spare me, I can give you anything you want!" Chu Huai, completely frightened, begged Song Changming.
Facing death, his noble identity was of no use. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
He could only hope to persuade Song Changming with enticing interests to save his life.
However, Song Changming was unmoved, not uttering a word, only slightly bending his knees, suddenly exerting force on the wall.
In the air, transforming into a ghostly black shadow, he dashed toward the Young Prince.
In the shadow, a silver gleam flashed across the Young Prince’s throat, Song Changming slowly landed.
The next moment, blood spurted, and the head of this imperial family member was separated.
Thus, Song Changming’s assassination mission was complete.
Without any delay, seizing the opportunity, he killed with one strike.
Boom!
Suddenly, the windows of the second floor of a distant pavilion shattered, and Xiong Dang Mountain burst out, landing with a loud crash.
Upon seeing Chu Huai now slain, his pupils noticeably trembled for a moment.
This was the offspring of the Fifth Prince, now assassinated like this; for him, it’s not something that can be brushed aside with "negligence."
With wrath from the Fifth Prince, he certainly won’t escape death.
"It’s all because of you!" Xiong Dang Mountain charged furiously at Song Changming.
Song Changming slightly frowned but soon charged at the opponent equally.
He hadn’t faced a rival with equal strength for a long time; now was a rare opportunity to gain combat experience.
The two immensely powerful sabers clashed again, their Sword Momentum quickly rising to the peak.
Xiong Dang Mountain’s Sword Momentum came from a battle-hardened battlefield, carrying strong deterrence and suppressive power, akin to a thousand troops charging.
Whereas Song Changming’s Sword Momentum derived from Sword Skill at the Peak of Perfection, equally powerful and strong, enough to counterbalance the opponent’s formidable Sword Momentum.
He couldn’t suppress the opponent with Sword Momentum, but Xiong Dang Mountain shouldn’t hope to influence him with Sword Momentum either.
In terms of strength, both sides were overall evenly matched, but Xiong Dang Mountain, who had already reached the Extreme Realm, slightly surpassed Song Changming.
This was one of the rare occasions in battles for Song Changming where strength did not constitute an advantage.
However, in martial arts, Song Changming felt a considerable advantage.
Whether it was Sword Skill or Light Body Skill mastery, he was superior to the opponent, yet defeating Xiong Dang Mountain with these was still somewhat challenging.
Because the opponent’s combat experience was too seasoned, always countering strengths and avoiding weaknesses, often able to neutralize Song Changming’s offensive or selectively evade his powerful Sword Form.
Behind the seemingly crude exterior, the fighting style was very intricate, not just a foolish brute pursuing wide-open attacks.
Soon, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows, neither exposing a flaw, remaining evenly matched.
Clang!
After another clash of power, both retreated several steps.
"Indeed, a martial artist of the Extreme Realm!" Song Changming realized that winning or losing under ordinary circumstances might not be so easy.
He even felt the faint trend of being suppressed.
It’s worth noting that the opponent just defeated the expert from the Extreme Realm sent by Gu Wenhui!
In other words, even within the Extreme Realm Domain, Xiong Dang Mountain’s combat strength was extremely formidable.
"Since that’s the case."
Song Changming extended his left hand, pressing two hidden acupoints in the chest and abdomen hard with his thumb.
It was as if two heavy hammers struck his body.
Blood Burst Secret Technique, activated!
In the next moment, Song Changming felt his blood accelerating, his whole body growing feverish.
A strong extra force surged from within him!
"Hmm?!" Xiong Dang Mountain watched as Song Changming’s skin faintly turned red, sensing the opponent’s aura suddenly increasing a giant leap!
Still getting stronger at this point? This guy has been hiding his strength all along!
Xiong Dang Mountain was filled with shock.
When Song Changming’s gaze once again fell on him, his heartstrings tightened instantly.
After a brief adaptation, Song Changming suddenly kicked off.
Boom!
Displaying far greater speed than before, Song Changming felt surrounded by a storm driving him forward.
He shortened the distance between them in a single step.
A hum was heard as the Dragon Pattern Saber slashed down, its speed disrupting the surrounding airflow, arriving instantly.
Xiong Dang Mountain barely raised his long saber above his head to block it, but the terrifying Giant Strength on the opponent’s saber pressed down like Mount Tai, forcing his knees to bend, nearly bringing him to the ground.
Immediately after, Song Changming kicked out with the Mountain Crushing Kick.
His striking speed was obviously a higher grade than before; Xiong Dang Mountain couldn’t keep up and was kicked away like a launched cannonball.
Even with top-quality armor deflecting the force, the kick caused severe twisting pain in his chest and abdomen, blood rising bitterly and sweetly in his mouth, forcibly swallowed back.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, he had to reassess Song Changming’s level of skill.
Clearly, the exhibited Body Refining Cultivation was at most Level eight, yet his combat strength surpassed that of him, a strong figure within the Extreme Realm.
Even the talented martial artists with dual cultivation he had seen did not display such astonishing combat prowess.
This was unreasonable!
Completely exceeding the normal combat scope of Body Refining Cultivation.
This kick completely sobered Xiong Dang Mountain, instilling retreat in him.
But Song Changming was relentless, momentarily closing in, his long saber hacking ceaselessly at this former formidable foe like a storm.
Xiong Dang Mountain could only barely defend, passively taking hits.
Whether it was speed or strength, even Martial Arts Mastery, Song Changming suppressed him.
His Knife Momentum honed on the battlefield was chopped to pieces by Song Changming, fragmented and shattered.
No chance of victory, facing the rampaging ’Red Fury’ Song Changming; he had no chance of victory.
He couldn’t even retreat from the battlefield.
Before long, the Sword Momentum on Song Changming’s body in the combat explosion reached new heights.
Under this shift, the increasingly suppressed opponent struggled to breathe.
Admittedly, the Blood Burst Secret Technique he mastered was indeed a trump card that could instantly change the battle’s course.
Especially in an evenly matched fight, using the Secret Technique to burst suddenly, the opponent that was previously evenly matched instantly couldn’t match your enhanced strength!
Clang!
Another strike made Xiong Dang Mountain’s arms tremble.
The second and third blows knocked the saber from his hand.
The fourth blow pierced through his chest!
Xiong Dang Mountain’s eyes widened, looking down at the fatal wound in his chest, his gathered Qi Power beginning to dissipate.
Now he no longer need worry about the wrath of the Fifth Prince far in Nanyang.
Today, avenging Chu Huai has led to his own demise here.
Of course, were he aware that the Fifth Prince he swore loyalty to had already gone before him, he wouldn’t know what to think.
