I Have the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in the Storm Riders

"boom!"

A demonic figure forged from steel, carrying overwhelming malevolent energy, crashed heavily onto the cliff.

The entire cliff trembled violently, and rocks rained down like rain.

Iron Head and Iron Hand followed closely behind, landing on his left and right sides.

Clad in the Heavenly Tribulation Armor, the Heavenly Sinful Limbs bared their fangs and claws behind him.

Bloodstains, still damp, remained on the armor.

Huai Kong saw the blood in mid-air.

It is Master's blood.

His heart felt like it was being squeezed by someone, so tightly that his vision went black.

A piercing wail ripped from his throat, but his body was already falling, and there was nothing he could do.

Just as Tie Kuangtu was about to give chase, Huai Mie flashed and blocked the edge of the cliff.

"If you want to pursue him, you'll have to get past me first."

Tie Kuangtu stopped in his tracks, his cold gaze piercing through his mask as he looked at Huai Mie with a hint of amusement.

"Extinction." His voice came from inside the armor, echoing with a metallic clang.

"It seems you've long suspected me and even made arrangements for your escape route."

"If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place." Huai Mie's gaze was like lightning, staring directly into the cold eyes behind the steel mask.

"I've felt something was off ever since you suggested finding a peerless sword to cure your illness."

"My master was a man of unyielding integrity throughout his life. Even if he were truly terminally ill, he would never pin his hopes on a weapon to prolong his life."

"Your excuse might fool others, but it won't fool me."

Bai Ling, who was on the boat, covered her mouth upon hearing this.

Did the eldest brother figure it out back then?

Has he been enduring all these years?

Iron Frenzy Tu laughed in fury, the sound echoing through his armor with a chilling metallic resonance:

"Well done, Huai Mie! Now that you've seen through me, I'm not going to pretend anymore."

"Neither of you brothers will leave here alive today!"

He coldly glanced at the five beasts behind him: "Step back, I will handle this myself."

Although the five beasts were unwilling, they dared not disobey and retreated to the side.

Huai Mie stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the steel demon god in front of him whose body was covered with sharp blades and spikes.

He knew how terrifying this thing was—even his master's iron-forging hands couldn't penetrate it.

But his inherent arrogance wouldn't allow him to back down, never had it.

"Old fool, I've been wanting to see just how hard your iron shell really is."

Huai Mie let out a wild laugh, his aura surged, and the rocks beneath his feet cracked under the pressure of the air currents, the cracks spreading outwards like a spider web.

His robes fluttered in the wind, and with a shake of his arms, his bones cracked and popped.

"Seven Primordial Strike Techniques - Heaven-Shattering Extreme!"

Huai Mie made the first move, throwing out his right fist, the force of which, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, struck Tie Kuangtu's face.

Iron Madman raised his hand to block—"Clang!"

The fist slammed into the arm guard, the recoil making half of Huai Mie's body numb. However, the force of the punch passed through the armor, forcing Tie Kuangtu to slide back half a step, the rock beneath his feet being crushed into powder by his iron boots.

Tie Kuangtu glanced down at his foot, which had taken a half step back, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Huai Mie didn't give him time to react.

"Seven Primordial Strike Forces - Breaking Electric Potential!"

The palm strike was like thunder splitting a mountain, carrying dazzling energy ripples as it slashed straight at Tie Kuangtu's shoulder.

"Clang clang clang!"

Three sharp sounds rang out, and three white marks were cleaved into the shoulder armor of the Heavenly Tribulation Armor—though they were just white marks, they were the first marks left on the Heavenly Tribulation Armor.

"Heart-Stirring Thunder!"

Huai Mie slammed his palms together, unleashing an extremely violent force that slammed into Tie Kuangtu's breastplate with a muffled thunderous sound.

This strike was even more powerful than the previous two.

With a loud "boom!", Tie Kuangtu was forced back three steps. The cliff face beneath his feet shattered inch by inch, and chunks of rock broke off from the cliff and crashed into the sea below.

High waves, several meters high, rose from the distant sea.

Bai Ling clung tightly to the gunwale of the boat—the aftershocks alone nearly capsized the boat.

"Shatter the Heavens!"

Huai Mie's figure soared into the sky, his palms raised high above his head, gathering all his strength, and with an aura that could smash through the sky, he slashed down fiercely!

The moment the palm strike was unleashed, the air above the cliff was compressed by the force of the strike, emitting a sharp hissing sound, and all the rubble on the ground was blown away by the shockwave.

Iron Madman crossed his arms, and the Heavenly Sin Joints formed an iron wall in front of him to take the blow head-on!

"clang--!!!"

The sound shook the entire cliff.

The cracks beneath their feet exploded outwards from where Tie Kuangtu stood, and large chunks of the cliff face began to collapse, raising clouds of dust.

The sea surface was churned with turbid waves several meters high, and the nearby reefs were shattered by the shock waves.

Huai Mie's palms struck the iron wall formed by Tian Zui's joints, and the terrifying recoil instantly surged back, causing his blood to surge, his tiger's mouth to split open, and blood to spurt out from between his fingers.

Iron Frenzy's feet sank into the rock—the iron boots of his armor broke through the rock surface, and he sank half a foot down.

He looked at Huai Mie, and his gaze finally changed—no longer with amusement at seeing an ant, but with a hint of seriousness.

"That's interesting."

"But that's all."

Tianzui's limbs suddenly opened, and several iron arms, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, instantly pounced on Huaimie!

"The Seven Primal Strike Forces - Overturning the River!"

Huai Mie roared angrily, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that met the limbs head-on.

The air wall collided with the segmented limbs with a loud "boom," sending shockwaves scattering and blasting away all the surrounding debris.

But the arthropod paused for only a moment before tearing through the air barrier and continuing its attack!

Huai Mie retreated rapidly, clapping his hands in quick succession—

"Shatter the Sky!" "Thunder of the Heart!" The two attacks were unleashed in quick succession, striking the limbs with two clangs, causing the limbs to deviate from their course.

But another segment of the limb circled around from his blind spot—

"puff!"

The segmented limb cleaved into Huai Mie's left shoulder like a sharp blade.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking was crisp and piercing.

Huai Mie's prized golden silk armor was pierced like paper, his left shoulder bone shattered instantly, and blood gushed out.

He gritted his teeth and refused to scream, flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.

"boom!"

It crashed heavily into the rocks at the edge of the cliff, causing the rocks to shatter instantly.

"Extinction—!!"

"Big brother—!!"

Huai Mie coughed up blood as his body plummeted down into the turbulent sea below, slid amidst the collapsing rocks.

His left arm was mangled beyond recognition, and he tumbled through the air as he plummeted downwards, but during his fall—

He glanced back.

It's not about watching Iron Frenzy or the Cliff.

He was looking at Bai Ling.

That glance was so brief that Bai Ling wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong.

But she did see it—Huai Mie's lips moved slightly as he fell.

Bai Ling read the lip movements.

"To live."

Then Huai Mie's figure disappeared into the waves.

"Hmph, you ignorant ants."

Iron Madman coldly stared at the direction Huai Mie had fallen, about to control his armor to give chase—

"Snap! Snap!"

A strange noise came from inside the armor. The tightly fitted parts began to tremble violently, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment.

Tie Kuangtu's expression changed drastically—the Heavenly Tribulation Armor had not yet fully fused and could not maintain the fusion for a long time.

"Damn it! Of all times..."

"Splash—"

The Heavenly Tribulation Armor disintegrated on its own, turning into countless parts scattered on the ground.

Tie Kuangtu staggered a few steps, his face ashen.

He glanced at the unfathomable sea below, then at the speedboat in the distance, which had already turned into a black dot.

"So be it. With this strike of the Heavenly Tribulation, Huai Mie is doomed."

"As for Huai Kong, he's nothing but a stray dog."

He turned around, his gaze falling on the scattered armor parts on the ground, and the greed in his eyes reignited.

"The most urgent task is to bring the Heavenly Tribulation back to the Blood Pool and find a way to make it truly complete."

"Five beasts, move them back."

"Yes, sir!"

A lone boat cuts through the waves on the vast expanse of misty water.

Bai Ling knelt on the deck, staring intently in the direction of Tiexin Island.

She had already cried out loud, tears were still flowing, but her voice was hoarse.

His hands gripped the gunwale, his ten fingers turning white.

The image of Huai Mie falling into the sea replayed in her mind over and over again.

The sound of that celestial limb slicing through his left shoulder—"crack"—was something she would never forget for the rest of her life.

But she couldn't forget another scene either.

Huai Mie glanced back at her as he fell.

His lips moved slightly.

"To live."

He was keeping her alive.

Bai Ling gripped the gunwale so tightly that her fingernails dug into the wood.

Huai Kong stood at the stern of the ship.

The sea breeze tousled his long hair and dried the blood on his face, but it couldn't dispel the deathly stillness in his eyes.

He saw with his own eyes the blood of his master on the armor, he saw with his own eyes his elder brother being cleaved in the left shoulder by the Heavenly Sin's limbs, and he saw with his own eyes his elder brother falling into the sea.

He can't do anything.

But he didn't cry; his face held a chilling calm, as calm as a stagnant pool—a pool of magma beneath which lay still water.

"Second Senior Brother... just cry..." Bai Ling's voice trembled as she looked at him.

"Don't do this..."

Huai Kong slowly turned around.

"Cry?" His voice was hoarse and cold.

"Can crying bring Master back?"

"Will crying bring my brother back to life?"

Bai Ling was stunned and stopped crying.

Huai Kong opened his palm, and in his palm lay a dried-out severed finger.

His master's severed finger was the last thing his master left him.

"Master is dead, and my elder brother's fate is unknown."

He gripped his severed finger tightly, his nail digging into the flesh of his palm, and blood flowed down between his fingers, dripping onto the deck.

"Now, I have no more tears to shed."

Huai Kong raised his head, his gaze passing over the vast sea and looking towards the distant Central Plains.

"Bai Ling, speed up."

"We must hurry to the Central Plains."

Bai Ling wiped away her tears, stood up, and walked towards the sail.

She didn't try to persuade her any further.

Because she saw something in Huai Kong's eyes—not sadness, not despair, but a hatred harder than steel that had grown back from the ruins after being crushed.

Iron Madman led the five beasts of the Iron Gate, carrying the scattered fragments of the "Heavenly Tribulation," their faces ashen, and hurriedly returned.

He was burning with rage—his ultimate battle armor, "Heavenly Tribulation," forged with his life's blood, had suddenly crumbled and shattered into pieces during the fierce battle.

But Tie Kuangtu knew very well that the most important thing right now was to bring these fragments back to the Blood Pool.

The Fire Kirin Sword is the key to repairing the Heavenly Tribulation. As long as the Fire Kirin Sword is still there, there is still hope.
