Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 527 The Third Killer Move—Destruction of Mountains and Rivers (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"roar~"

“Ding ding!!”

The Iron Claw Bear rubbed its massive paws together, sending sparks flying.

In the next instant, it pounced out suddenly, its three-meter-long iron claws gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"Hiss!!"

With a sudden burst of speed, the iron claws tore through the air, producing a whistling sound as they moved with lightning speed.

At short distances, the explosive power of level seven calamity beasts is astonishing. Coupled with their massive bodies, once they are hit, it causes enormous destruction.

Lin Qi unleashed his powerful perception, his eyes blazing with golden light, instantly revealing profound patterns.

[Golden Eyes] Activated!
The Iron Claw Bear slowed its movements as it instantly simulated the opponent's trajectory in its mind, making a prediction.

Not only that, he also had time to observe the steel-boned giant tiger and the armored rhinoceros next to him.

The two of them were watching intently from the side!
Lin Qi swung his spear, and the Golden Emperor's Qi condensed into thirty golden spear beams, which he fired at the three calamity beasts.

He charged towards the Ironclaw Bear, leaping high into the air and instantly creating distance between himself and the bear, moving like a nimble cheetah.
“Bang bang!!”

"Hoho~~"

The spear burst forth, all aimed at the weakest points of the armored rhinoceros and the steel-boned giant tiger.

The spear energy was highly concentrated, like a sharp blade piercing through its skin, causing blood to splatter out.

Since it's only a ranged attack, it can't cause much damage.

You have to attack at close range!

After all, only close-range attacks can unleash his full potential.

"Boohoo!!"

"Bang!!"

The Iron Claw Bear's attack was dodged, but its three-meter-long iron claws dug deep into the muddy ground, leaving deep claw marks and even clearing away a large chunk of soil.

"Oh!"

Lin Qi instantly unleashed a burst of spear energy, shattering the clods of earth.

It turned into countless fragments of gravel and dirt, blurring the other party's vision.

"Whoosh~"

Lin Qi transformed into a golden meteor and shot out, wielding a black and gold spear, releasing terrifying power from his body.

After six blood transfusions, his power had reached an extremely terrifying level.

He's stronger than many SSS-level power-type geniuses!
Power was continuously injected, then condensed into a powerful force, which combined to thrust out the spear.

"Mountain and River Spear Technique" - Flowing Water Thrust!

He seized the fleeting opportunity and burst forth with lightning speed!

The spear tip pierced through the iron-clawed giant bear's neck in an instant.

"Pfft~"

The spear tip encountered no resistance and easily pierced the skin, cutting a large gash. The force of the spear was like a sharp blade, frantically slicing through the tissue in the neck.

"Whoosh!!"

Blood splattered like water, accompanied by the roar of the Iron Claw Bear.

"Oh!"

The huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang!

"roar~"

"Moo~"

At the same time, the steel-boned giant tiger's body blocked out Lin Qi like a dark cloud, and its tiger claws pressed down.

Lin Qi turned around, conjuring a six-meter-long spear aura to confront the tiger claw head-on.

"Bang!!"

"Pfft~"

The two sides clashed head-on, tiger claws colliding with the spear's energy. The steel-boned giant tiger shuddered and was actually locked in a stalemate.

Its eyes were filled with disbelief, unable to believe that this little thing could actually contend with it.

Lynch's feet were as firm as the roots of an old tree, as solid as a rock, as he clashed head-on with the steel-boned giant tiger, his legs already embedded in the ground.

The overwhelming force was neutralized by the armor and combat suit, and he could withstand the remaining power, so he smiled.

I have indeed become stronger.

“Bang bang!!”

Beside him, he condensed his spear energy and charged towards the steel-boned giant tiger.

Under the impact, it had to retreat, giving Lynch room to make a move.

"call out!"

Then he exerted his strength on the spot, merging with the spear and transforming it into a golden spear aura that pierced through the abdomen of the steel-boned giant tiger, causing blood to spurt out once again.

Then he stopped paying attention to the other party and saw the huge steel spiral rhinoceros horn piercing through the air!
It was an armored rhinoceros, and it launched a charge, its powerful limbs stomping on the ground, accompanied by the tremors of the earth.

What Lynch liked best were these slow-moving, thick-skinned monsters.

Because they're all easy targets for him!
Five minutes later, the armored rhinoceros was covered in wounds, and blood gushed out, soaking the earth.

"Moo~"

The armored rhinoceros stared at Lin Qi with its small eyes, let out a mournful cry of resentment, and collapsed to the ground, dying instantly.

Lin Qi then fired another shot at the steel-boned tiger, which wasn't quite dead yet.

Merit Points +8500
Merit Points +8900
Merit Points +9000
All three top-tier level seven calamity beasts were dead. Lin Qi was filled with murderous intent, and his brows were brimming with malevolent energy.

The surrounding area reeked of blood.

"Not enough, they are too weak!"

Lin Qi shook his head. The current siege by top-tier level seven calamity beasts could no longer put too much pressure on him.

That's simply not enough to allow his marksmanship to improve.

He needs a stronger opponent!

Xu Qin, who was closest to the scene, fell silent upon witnessing it; Lin Qi was now terrifyingly strong.

Facing the three calamity beasts—the Ironclad Rhinoceros, the Ironclaw Bear, and the Steelbone Tiger—he absolutely could not win so easily.

But Lynch was different; he completed the kill with ease.

Just then, she sensed a strong danger and, on a whim, felt a chill run down her spine.

"roar~"

A deafening roar erupted from behind her, the sound waves whipping up a fierce wind that tossed her hair.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw a gigantic claw that blotted out the sky slam down!

She turned around and condensed a green sword aura, which suddenly pierced out.

The vine armor on its body also condensed into countless vine thorns, which shot towards the giant claw!
"Bang!!"

In an instant, the giant claw collided with the sword energy, and the powerful impact shattered the sword energy instantly.

The terrifying force struck him, and the vines collided with the giant claws, yet caused no damage.

"I……"

Xu Qin's eyes widened as the terrifying force sent her flying like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang!!"

"Pfft~"

Xu Qin spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed into the ruins of the dilapidated building.

She looked up at the owner of the giant claw, a colossal lizard beast over fifty meters long.

Level 8 Calamity Beast - Earthshaker!

It turned out to be an eighth-level calamity beast, the Earth-Splitting Dragon, and next to it was the Mighty Ape she had been fighting earlier.

The two monstrous beasts instantly surrounded her.

Her special ability, "Wanmu," instantly came into play, rapidly healing her injuries.

She struggled to her feet, but the mighty ape gave her no chance, slamming its arms down like giant pillars.

Xu Qin looked solemn, feeling intense pain and her body felt heavy.

The Earthshaker's attack severely injured her!
The resilient vines quickly wrapped around his armor, enhancing his defensive capabilities.

"Beast, you are courting death!"

At this moment, a loud shout rang out, and in Xu Qin's vision, dozens of golden spear beams suddenly pierced out, striking the Mighty Ape and the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

"An eighth-level calamity beast, just what I need!"

A tall figure clad in black and gold armor appeared not far from Xu Qin.

Lin Qi looked at Xu Qin and said:

"Are you okay?"

Xu Qin shook her head, looked at the Earth-Splitting Dragon in front of her, and said:

"Let's fight the Earthshaker together!"

Lin Qi shook his head after hearing this and said:
"It is my prey!"

"Go deal with the Mighty Ape!"

Xu Qin's expression changed upon hearing this:

"No, it's too dangerous!"

Lin Qi's face was cold and stern as he brandished his black and gold spear with one hand, saying, "No need to discuss it, it's settled!"

Seeing Lin Qi's domineering words and terrifying aura, Xu Qin's momentum immediately weakened.

"it is good!"

She turned and charged at the powerful ape. Although she was severely injured, she still had no problem dealing with a powerful ape.

Lin Qi looked at the Earth-Splitting Dragon, which was an eighth-level calamity beast.

Although it is called a dragon, it is actually more like a giant lizard, with a body length of over 50 meters and a shoulder height of 15 meters.

It resembles a moving mountain range, its entire body covered in thick, bluish-gray scales, accompanied by uneven and sharp bone spurs, like a layer of natural armor.

The Earth-Splitter Dragon has thick limbs and bulging muscles, and when it opens its mouth, it reveals serrated fangs.

Its enormous body blotted out the sun, leaving only large areas of shadow.

It has a body that is even larger than that of an armored rhinoceros, and it is so imposing that it sends chills down your spine.

Weak martial artists, faced with the oppressive aura of an eighth-level calamity beast, would only tremble with fear.

Lin Qi was also trembling with excitement.

The intense sense of oppression ignited his passion, and as he faced a powerful enemy, his strength surged forth continuously.

His golden light became even more dazzling.

"roar~"

The Earth-Splitting Dragon looked at Lin Qi and, without the slightest hesitation, pounced straight out, its giant paw stomping down.

Its fighting style is simple and brutal, relying on its size and strength to overwhelm its enemies. Its attack methods include biting, tail whipping, and stomping...

Its fighting style is simple, but relying on its size and strength, it can still maintain its position as one of the top combat forces among level eight disaster beasts.

Lin Qi felt the power of the giant claw, which stirred up a fierce wind. He transformed into lightning, creating several afterimages as he rushed out.

In his line of sight, the Earthshaker's movements continued to slow down.

"Buzz!!" Thirty golden spear beams condensed and shot out rapidly like a volley of arrows.

“Bang bang bang!!”

The spear's energy struck the Earth-Splittering Dragon's armor and exploded, leaving only marks on its scales.

What a strong defense!

Lin Qi's expression was solemn. This Earth-Splitting Dragon's defensive power was much stronger than that of the Ironclad Rhinoceros.

Although there is only one level difference between level seven and level eight, the hierarchy among the monsters is very strict.

The difference in strength is so great that it's almost impossible to kill a monster of a higher level.

Each level of advancement represents a comprehensive improvement.

He continued to fire golden spear energy.

However, none of the attacks could cause any damage to the Earthshaker.

"roar~"

"Boom!"

The Earth-Splittering Dragon roared, stomping its four limbs heavily on the ground, causing the ground to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.

It also affected Lynch's speed; the ground vibrated, and he needed to maintain his balance.

"laugh!!"

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged into my heart.

In his energy vision, a colossal object shot towards him.

Turning my head, I saw the Earth-Splitting Dragon's tail, like a steel whip, tearing through the air and lashing out.

The speed was incredibly fast, and the ground shook, making it difficult for Lin Qi to exert force. He felt that he had no time to dodge.

A fierce wind raged as Lin Qi brandished his spear, gathering his Golden Emperor's罡劲 (gāngjìn, a type of internal energy).

"Bang!!"

The tail collided with the spear, and the terrifying impact instantly shattered the golden spear aura, colliding with the spear.

"call!"

Lin Qi frowned as he was blasted away, feeling the astonishing impact.

"Oh!"

His body was pulled into the dilapidated building and crashed into the broken reinforced concrete.

The steel bars bent and broke, and the concrete burst and crumbled into pieces.

"Lynch!"

Xu Qin, who was not far away, saw this scene and showed a worried expression.

She turned her gaze to the powerful ape, intending to quickly eliminate it and go help Lin Qi.

"Whoosh!"

Lynch, who had been blasted into the building, immediately stood up, his face beaming with excitement.

His blood and qi surged, and the Earth-Splitting Dragon's tail whipped out like a steel whip. Its attack power was indeed strong, its speed was fast, and its impact was great. Ordinary seventh-realm martial artists simply could not withstand it.

He gripped the gun tightly, feeling a strong sense of danger. The oppressive feeling stimulated his body, and his heart pounded wildly, like an engine starting up.

If he keeps playing, he might actually be able to break through.

"Come and fight!"

Lin Qi brandished his spear again and charged out.

……

Time passed slowly, and the battlefield was filled with blood.

The spatial gate closed completely, and all the high-level martial artists began to clear out the remaining calamity beasts.

Among them, the level nine warriors also successively killed level nine calamity beasts, except for the Mountain Moving Ape that escaped again.

The towering and imposing Mountain and River King, clad in silver armor, brandished a large spear and unleashed his spear energy to hunt down level-eight calamity beasts.

A moment later, his gaze fell upon a familiar figure battling the Earth-Splittering Dragon.

He even doubted that he was seeing things!

"Lin Qi is fighting the Earth-Splitting Dragon?"

Seeing this, King Shanhe stopped and watched Lin Qi's battle from the sky.

He had witnessed Lin Qi's progress; in just three months, his combat strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

Now they can even fight against level eight calamity beasts.

Three months have passed, and Lin Qi might now be able to fight Gu Jianzhen.

He's already this strong after just three months. In a year, beating Gu Jian will be no different from beating Gu Cheng.

He gripped the guns with both hands, ready to strike at any moment if Lynch's life was in danger.

After all, Lin Qi is a top genius in Xia Country.

"what?"

Suddenly, he looked on in surprise as he watched Lin Qi's marksmanship.

He was the founder of the "Mountain and River Spear Technique," and he knew the variations of Lin Qi's spear technique better than anyone.

"This is……"

……

"roar~"

The towering, mountain-like Earth-Splitting Dragon roared to the sky, venting its rage. It was being toyed with by an ant and couldn't crush it to death!

"Bang bang!"

Lin Qi, clad in black and gold armor, brandished his spear, constantly dodging, defending, and attacking.

His armor suffered even more severe damage, with cracks appearing one after another.

However, small wounds also appeared on the body of the Earthshaker.

Lin Qi wielded the "Mountain and River Spear Technique," and in the continuous battles, under pressure, his will and body were brought to their fullest potential.

My mind raced, and insights into marksmanship surfaced.

At one moment, his mind jolted, and his whole body trembled, as if an invisible bottleneck had shattered.

The mountain and river conception that empowers the entire body expands, and the power is enhanced.

The "Mountain and River Spear Technique" he used also changed, and his aura became stronger and stronger.

Lin Qi was overjoyed; he had made a breakthrough.

With a breakthrough in marksmanship, the world around me suddenly opened up, and an invisible force merged into my state of mind.
That seems to be the power of mountains and rivers.

He used his spear skills, and illusory images of mountains and rivers appeared.

He stood rooted to the ground, becoming one with heaven and earth. Mountains and rivers appeared, their power flowing into his black-gold spear.

"boom!!"

"Roar!!"

With a roar, the Earth-Splitting Dragon leaped into the air, its massive body stomping down on Lin Qi like a mountain crashing down.

No eighth-realm martial artist was willing to face the Earth-Splitting Dragon's attack!
As Lin Qi focused his spear's power, he felt his connection with heaven and earth become even stronger.

The power between heaven and earth gathered on his body, and he concentrated it all at the tip of his spear.

He frantically mobilized the Golden Emperor's Qi within his body, compressing it wildly and circulating it through the black-gold spear.

The intense energy was highly compressed, and the spear energy spread out, condensing into a length of 10 meters.

A dazzling golden light was released, and its terrifying sharpness stirred up gusts of wind around it.

At the same time, the artistic conception of mountains and rivers is also included, compressed.

Lin Qi felt that the spear in his hand was like a nuclear bomb, which could unleash terrifying destructive power once it was launched!

His gaze was unwavering, his Golden Eyes activated to their fullest potential, granting him super vision, high-speed detection, energy-based perception, clairvoyance, and precognition...

With all functions operating at their maximum potential, he had already discovered the Earth-Splitter Dragon's weakness.

Now we need the right time.

The brain operates at high speed, and the power of the mountains and rivers it empowers is constantly increasing.

At one point, the giant claw, obscuring the sky, was less than five meters away from him.

Lin Qi moved instantly!

Now is the perfect time!

"boom!!"

In an instant, Lin Qi exerted all his strength, his whole body radiating golden light as if a god had descended, his feet firmly planted on the ground.

"laugh--!"

He brandished a ten-meter-long golden spear, which shot out with explosive force, tearing through the air and producing a whistling sound.

Lin Qi thrust out his spear, the tip gathering the power of mountains and rivers, as heavy as a mountain and as surging as a river.

With a thrust of the spear, illusory images of mountains and rivers appeared around him, rocks collapsed, the ground caved in, as if all things were annihilated.

Concentrate your power on one point, and thrust out with spear energy!

The third killing move of the Mountain and River Spear Technique - Annihilation of Mountain and River!
The spear beam pierced the air at incredible speed, striking the Earth-Splitting Dragon's chin precisely—its most vulnerable spot!

"Bang!!"

"Pfft~"

The golden spear energy pierced through the chin of the Earth-Splitting Dragon, like a sharp needle piercing through tough cowhide.

Piercing through the skin, the spear pierced the head of the Earth-Splitting Dragon, and the terrifying spear energy shattered everything!
The Earth-Splitter Dragon seemed to have been punched in the chin, its body falling backward with a painful roar, but it was as if a draft was leaking through.

Blood gushed to the earth like a red waterfall!

"Bang!!"

The Earth-Splittering Dragon crashed down in frustration, causing the earth to tremble and kicking up clouds of dust!

"Hoohoo!!"

It kept roaring, moving its limbs, and swishing its tail.

In his line of sight, a figure in alloy-colored armor gradually emerged!

The two looked at each other!
It tried to get up, but it was powerless to do so. Its eyes reflected a figure that radiated golden light and was like a god.

His eyes showed fear, and he eventually lost all hope.

The Earthshaker is dead!
Merit Points +60!
As Lin Qi smelled the blood of animals in the air, a wave of exhaustion washed over him!
But looking at his masterpiece, he still smiled!

Successfully mastered the third killing move of the "Mountain and River Spear Technique" and killed the first level eight calamity beast!
He had fought against level eight calamity beasts before, but each time it was a brief encounter before he left!

Now he has proven his strength; he can even kill an eighth-level calamity beast!

Without the whetstone of the Earth-Splitting Dragon, he really couldn't sharpen his blade!

[You fought a life-or-death battle with the level 8 calamity beast, the Earth-Splitting Dragon, unleashing your potential and successfully mastering the third killing move of the "Mountain and River Spear Technique"—Mountain and River Annihilation.
