From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 158 Sudden Changes

"Withdraw? Too late."

Su Yu stood atop a treetop, a murderous intent surging in his eyes.

Within this mist, his five senses gave him a huge advantage. Combined with his perfected coin-throwing technique, he could slaughter ordinary martial artists as easily as mowing grass.

He didn't even need to see the enemy; he could pinpoint their location simply by the sound of footsteps and breathing carried on the wind.

"Gold raining down from the sky!"

With a flick of his wrist, Su Yu unleashed a barrage of flying stones like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The shrill sound of pebbles tearing through the air echoed through the mist.

"Well!"

"Ah, screams rang out one after another. Some of the retreating bandits had their heads pierced, and others had their throats pierced. They fell down in droves, like harvested wheat."

"You bastard! Stop it right now!"

Han Qinhu's eyes were bloodshot as he watched his men fall one by one, and his anger finally erupted.

"Tiger Fist!"

His blood and qi surged wildly, and he was like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain, suddenly throwing a punch to his left front.

"boom!"

The violent fist wind, accompanied by a gale-force wind, instantly shattered the mist within dozens of feet in front of him. The flying stones that were aimed at his last few subordinates were still in mid-air when they were directly pulverized by this terrifying fist force.

As the fog dissipated, the black figure on the treetop was revealed.

"Found you!"

Han Qinhu grinned maliciously, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and his body shot into the sky like a cannonball.

"You little bastard, you dared to kill so many of my brothers! I'll tear you apart alive!"

With his Qi and blood fully unleashed from the three perfected acupoints, Han Qinhu's aura was even more terrifying than that of a real tiger. He stood high above, his large hand slamming down with a suffocating pressure towards Su Yu's head.

Before the attack even landed, the biting wind already stung Su Yu's face, and the tree trunk behind him cracked and splintered repeatedly.

Han Qinhu seemed terrified when he saw Su Yu. Instead of running away immediately, he grinned maliciously. "Damn it, you can't escape!"

In the distance, the three remaining bandits, seeing this, revealed a cruel gleam of pleasure in their eyes: "Third Leader, you're mighty!"

"Kill this piece of trash who only knows how to sneak attack!"

"You can't escape, you beast!"

However, Su Yu remained calm in the face of Han Qinhu's powerful attack, neither dodging nor evading.

"Well done!"

"Buzz!"

He instantly pushed the Black Stone Body Tempering Technique to its limit.

Like splashed ink, a layer of deep blue light instantly covered his right upper arm and forearm, and then spread to his fist, covering his entire right arm with a layer of black iron armor!

"The white ape asks for directions!"

Su Yu clenched his right fist, his blood and qi surging like a great river, converging at a single point, and then blasted it directly towards Han Qinhu's palm!

"Bang!!!"

The fist and palm collided, producing a dull, loud thud.

A violent shockwave spread outwards from the two of them. The tree where Su Yu was standing snapped instantly with a crack. Before the fallen tree crowns even hit the ground, they were blown to pieces by the gale, clearing out a vacuum-like area!

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Su Yu landed, taking four steps back, each step leaving a deep imprint on the hard ground, barely managing to dissipate the terrifying recoil. His right arm trembled slightly, and his blood and qi surged within him.

On the other side, Han Qinhu only took two steps back before regaining his balance.

He shook his hand, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes: "Three-stage acupoints? This kid also has three-stage acupoints?"

"And—such tough skin! Such immense strength!"

Han Qinhu was shocked. Judging from the boy's blood and qi fluctuations, he was clearly only at the initial stage of the third acupoint realm, yet he could directly withstand a palm strike from Han Qinhu, who was at the peak of the realm?

What kind of genius is this?!

But then, the shock turned into an even stronger killing intent.

"Su Yu, is it? What a genius! Too bad you've run into me!"

Han Qinhu grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "If I gave you a few years, I might really have to take a detour."

But now—your level is still not high enough! Die, you bastard!

"Tiger Roar Fist!"

Han Qinhu unleashed his full power, his fists flying like the wind, each punch accompanied by a faint roar of tigers and thunderous sounds.

He was a true veteran of the Skin Tempering Realm, his skin membrane had long been trained to be a seamless whole, with no weaknesses. Wherever his fist passed, the air would explode, and his power was astonishing.

Su Yu frowned, forced to adopt a passive defensive stance.

He brought the White Ape Fist to its peak, combining it with the Black Stone Armor to fight it head-on!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.

But the gap is gradually becoming apparent.

With each collision, the luster of Su Yu's dark blue armor dimmed slightly. Han Qinhu's blood and energy were too powerful and domineering; the continuous shockwaves were gradually eroding Su Yu's defenses.

"No! There's still a gap in blood and qi levels!"

Su Yu sighed inwardly.

Although both are at the third level of acupoints, he only broke through two days ago, while Han Qinhu has been immersed in this realm for ten years and has even touched the threshold of the Flesh Refining Realm.

Even with his mastery of the Black Stone Body Tempering Technique, he couldn't completely bridge the gap!

"Hahaha! Kid, once your turtle shell shatters, your death is nigh!"

Han Qinhu had a sharp eye and immediately saw that Su Yu was at his limit. He laughed wildly and launched an even fiercer attack, each punch heavier than the last, forcing Su Yu to retreat step by step.

"Haha, boss, kill this bastard!"

"That arrogant brat, instead of running away, he's thinking of killing us. Now he's going to die here!"

"That damn genius, he's still going to get brutally killed by the third boss!"

Seeing this, the three bandits also became arrogant and surrounded Su Yu in a fan shape, blocking all of his escape routes.

"Entangling Vines Lock the Demon!"

White Ape Fist was no match for him, so Su Yu immediately drew his sword and engaged in combat with his opponent.

The blade flashed like silk, carrying a viscous force, attempting to entangle Han Qinhu's fists.

"Good lad, you actually have such swordsmanship! Too bad, you lack strength!"

A look of shock flashed in Han Qinhu's eyes, followed by a ferocious grin. He slammed his fists together, using his powerful blood energy to directly confront the blade.

"clang!"

The clang of metal rang out.

The immense recoil traveled along the blade, numbing Su Yu's hands and causing the Mo Yuan Blade to slip from his grasp. The already precarious layer of black stone armor finally shattered completely under this attack, vanishing without a trace.

"You're finished!"

When Han Qinhu saw that Su Yu's Black Stone Armor was shattered, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

Su Yu also knew that, in his current normal state, he was no match for an enemy who had reached the peak of the Skin Tempering stage.

Just like Han Qinhu, an enemy with perfected three acupoints has a seamless skin membrane, like the Golden Bell Cover in martial arts from his previous life, making it impossible to break through his defenses easily. What's even more impressive is that he has no weak points!

Against enemies from the past, even if they had stronger health and vitality, he could still use the combination of swordsmanship and movement to injure their vital points. But now, such methods are no longer effective!

This is also what makes a martial artist at the peak of the Skin Tempering Realm so terrifying!

If that's the case, then we have no choice but to unleash the Blood Rage of the Berserker Ape!

A glint of light flashed in Su Yu's eyes. Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly turned around and fled towards the distant shore!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Seeing Su Yu escape, Han Qinhu was not about to let him go and chased after him with a sinister grin.

When the three bandits saw Su Yu rushing towards them, they immediately surrounded him. If they could stop Su Yu even for a moment, his death would be imminent!

Despite being in danger, Su Yu remained calm and continued rushing towards the water.

The situation changed drastically in the next instant!

The once calm surface of the Blackwater River suddenly erupted without warning.

The water sprayed skyward, reaching a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters)!

A terrifying and menacing aura, accompanied by a thick mist, instantly enveloped the entire riverbank.
