Exploding God

Chapter 1131 already shows eight-tenths of my charm!

What's with this damn heart palpitation?

What's with this damn oppressive feeling?

Shouldn't the normal scene depict the woman in a panic and the man kneeling and begging for mercy?

From the moment I landed, the whole situation seemed to be spiraling out of control.

Right now, this young woman is even adopting an aggressive stance towards him.

Do they really think I, a hunter, am just a decoration?

The third brother's face immediately turned ferocious, and his vicious gaze fell directly on Zhang Xinghuo.

"You bitch, just wait until I make you cry so hard you won't even have the strength left!"

As he said this, he took a heavy step with his right foot.

creak-

The hard granite was ground into powder with a tooth-grinding sound.

The third brother is most skilled in leg techniques; his iron leg has broken the necks of countless martial artists and crushed countless giant beasts!

He originally intended to use a grappling technique, but after hearing Zhang Xinghuo's words, he decided to cripple the other party and then ruthlessly destroy the flower while the other party was filled with fear.

The stellar energy surged throughout his body, flowing along a complex path into his right leg. With a powerful push from his foot, the ground within a five-meter radius instantly sank.

As the shockwave spread, the third brother rode on the air, rising like a dragon into the sky, and with a high-speed spin, he kicked down with his waist and legs.

In an instant, nearly a hundred legs rained down like javelins.

A tremendous roar echoed through the torn air, engulfing the riverbank.

—Heart-Piercing Kick, Evil Spear!

Zhang Xinghuo looked at the nearly one hundred legs looming over him, his eyes showing no fear, only an ever-increasing fighting spirit.

In the past, she would have dodged the moment her opponent kicked out, but today, the rapidly circulating Star Source throughout her body gave her a sudden boost in her five senses and intuition in the heat of battle.

It's like having the eyes of an eagle and the ultrasonic waves of a bat at the same time.

Her intuition kept reminding her that she could move aside.

"No, simply dodging isn't enough!"

Under this constant inner scream, Zhang Xinghuo's eyes sharpened, the air around him froze, and then he rose up like a whirlwind.

A fierce and domineering aura permeated all directions.

Lu Ze, who took in this scene, nodded slightly. This single move of gathering power was no different from his own when he was at the ninth realm.

Amidst his unrestrained and arrogant laughter, the third brother's legs thundered to the ground like a hail of bullets.

But at that moment, something astonishing happened.

The seemingly delicate girl moved like a leaping cheetah, leaving several afterimages in her wake with lightning speed.

Ninety-nine kicks in total, his legs raining down like a hail of bullets, but to his shock and anger, there was not a single response!

All ninety-nine kicks missed their mark.

"How is that possible!?"

He let out a roar and, before he had fully landed, stomped on the air again to rise into the air.

However, he did not know that just a minute earlier... Zhang Xinghuo had already advanced to the 9-star Gale Realm after exiting the state of enlightenment.

Moreover, this girl who had just advanced to the 9th star level was a cultivation genius whom Lu Ze himself admired.

If this assessment were to become known to the world, it would be enough to shake the entire martial arts world of Great Xia.

Zhang Xinghuo herself was unaware of this at the moment. Once she entered the battle, she only had eyes for the enemy, and her fighting spirit burned like a raging fire.

As soon as the third brother finished speaking, a clear, girlish voice rang out, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"My master told me that no one can be killed by my fist, and nothing can be broken in front of me!"

"I, Zhang Xinghuo, swear that I will never lose in front of my master!"

The third brother suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with horror.

Because the sound came from above!

But when he looked up, what filled his entire field of vision was a shock cloud that stretched for more than thirty meters and was shaped like a giant umbrella.

At the very center of the shockwave was a fist that carried the most domineering martial intent of this world.

"—【The Situation of Pacifying Chu】!"

As her black hair danced in the wind, the girl's punch created a vacuum around her, and her blazing aura pressed down like the might of heaven, sealing off all of the third brother's escape routes.

A chill ran down his spine and into his brain. The third brother was horrified to discover that he was... going to die.

In a life-or-death crisis, adrenaline is released at an alarming rate.

My body is finally back under control.

He was also a ruthless man, and he knew that he could not hide at this moment. In order to survive, he had to take a gamble, hoping that his life-risking kick could block that punch.

If you survive that fatal punch, you'll have a chance to escape.

In the blink of an eye, the third brother banished all distracting thoughts and released all his life's energy from his Star Source Cells. His right leg swelled abnormally, becoming as thick as an elephant's leg in an instant.

But in the next instant, the leg suddenly retracted to normal, only the clothes on the leg were torn apart.

His muscles were as clearly defined as silk threads, his skin gleamed with a metallic sheen, and a rapidly swirling black aura surged from the soles of his feet, sweeping across his entire body and spiking his unkempt braid into a skyward shape.

"You dare to kill me, Manduhatu!?"

Amidst the rolling roar, the third brother spun around and delivered a kick, merging all his momentum and star energy into the profound martial arts essence of this kick.

A fierce tiger seemed to appear high in the sky, roaring as it crashed into Zhang Xinghuo.

—Heart-Piercing Kick: Tiger Slayer!

Red meets black.

Shockwaves collided, and terrifying shockwaves and clouds of smoke surged outwards.

At first glance, their imposing presence seems sufficient to counteract the situation.

But the black shockwave didn't even last half a second before being swallowed up by the rolling, sparking air currents and vanished into nothingness.

Zhang Xinghuo crashed to the ground like a crimson meteor.

- Om!

--boom!

A tremendous shockwave erupted.

The great river flowed backward, rocks crumbled, forests were destroyed, and the sky was swept away.

The air refilled the vacuum, and the sound returned to the place.

Dust and dirt fell in a flurry.

Zhang Xinghuo knelt on the ground, panting heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead.

That punch just now consumed a huge amount of her strength.

An ordinary person would probably be exhausted after one punch, but she only took two breaths before gritting her teeth and standing up.

Her originally delicate, round face was now filled with determination.

flutter!

The two severed parts fell, but the waist and abdomen section was missing, likely because it was directly blown into mist.

The girl glanced coldly at the third brother's corpse, then turned to look at the treetops behind her, her eyes filled with pride.

"Spark will not disgrace Master's reputation."

Lu Ze landed beside the girl with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Seven parts temperament, eight parts elegance! He deserves the title of Lu Ze's first disciple."

Wuyuan Lu's martial arts cultivation is different from Earth's. He can bind the star source shape even before entering the storm. Zhang Xinghuo's Pingchu stance directly showed the momentum and style of the 11th star realm.

If there is wine here, let's drink a big cup.

The young girl was overwhelmed with excitement. She didn't care why she only had seven or eight points; what she cared about was that she already had eight points of her master's charm.

To receive such high praise from a master who is like a god!

If the atmosphere hadn't been so restrictive, she would have shouted and jumped up.

Zhang Xinghuo, you can do it!

The girl internally encouraged herself frantically, while her gaze became even more fervent.

She set herself a goal that sounded utterly absurd, but which she considered incredibly lofty—

I must learn all of my master's skills!

"After a moment of rest, I will teach you the Breaking Formation and the Leaning on the Railing Stance."

"Yes, Master!"

The girl sat down cross-legged without a care and began to regulate her breathing.

Lu Ze then took more than ten steps forward, stood in front of the half-corpse, and reached out a hand.

Drawn by the energy, a black metal cylinder fell into the palm of the hand, the bloodstains on it being burned into smoke by the intense heat before they even touched the hand.

The smoke and sound immediately caught Zhang Xinghuo's attention. She looked at Lu Ze in confusion, and when she saw the cylinder in Lu Ze's hand more clearly, she quickly reminded him.

"Master, that's a hunter's whistle. Don't pull the trigger at the bottom, otherwise..."

Squeak—whoosh—bang.

A sharp sound rang out across the sky, exploding into a dazzling burst of sparks that lingered for a long time.

Zhang Xinghuo's mouth was slightly open as she stared blankly at the sky.

"Otherwise what?"

Lu Ze threw away the quiver and turned to ask.

"No, otherwise, it'll be like that—whoosh, bang... like that."

The girl stammered, completely flustered.

What the hell is going on, Master!

"Oh, I see..." Lu Ze replied, his expression completely calm.

What a load of rubbish!

Zhang Xinghuo's luck almost took a wrong turn.

"It seems there are still tough battles ahead. You should speed up your breathing."

After speaking, Lu Ze turned around and leaped back onto the branch of the metasequoia tree, gazing into the distance as he fell into deep thought once more.

I--

Zhang Xinghuo's brain was about to shut down.

"Ee, ee-ya~" (Sigh, I'm used to it~)

With a soft, adorable sigh, Pharaoh jumped onto Zhang Xinghuo's shoulder and patted the girl's ear comfortingly.

……

Ten miles away.

Having just attracted the strange beast and set up the trap, Wuliangha and the second brother looked up at the same time, staring intently at the distant sky.

The whistle, filtered through layers of sound, was reduced to a faint, bird-like chirp, along with a wisp of colorful cloud.

It was clearly the third brother's whistle arrow!

Wasn't the meeting scheduled for tomorrow?

Why did they fire the whistle as soon as they started the operation?

Unfortunately, in the ancient land, all means of long-distance communication were blocked, making it impossible for them to contact each other.

Even the Uriyangkhad couldn't communicate with his second son.

The hunters' rule is that they never fire the whistle unless it is absolutely necessary.

So the third brother either encountered danger or made a major discovery.

Considering the third brother's exceptional leg skills, it would be a pipe dream for an ordinary ten-star battle king to even think about keeping him alive.

Therefore, it's more likely that a major discovery has been made...

What discovery could have caused the third brother to immediately abandon the hunting plan?

Now, doubts and curiosity are no longer important; the whistle has been fired, and the two of them must go.

"Damn it, if you don't get anything, I'll break your legs."

Wuliangha cursed, looking somewhat unwillingly at the scattered martial artists who had entered the ambush, then turned and fled.

The second son did the same, looking displeased, but still made the same choice.

The two figures were completely invisible in this vast ancient mountain range.

The martial artists who ventured into the east and west directions had no idea that dozens of them had just narrowly escaped death.

……

……

The ancient land has its own unique atmosphere.

Beyond the ancient lands, undercurrents are surging, and there is a hint of impending upheaval.

After the death of the Ten Jia ancestors, the eldest grandson Xuan Ying, who was most skilled in interpreting divination, sealed the Wenxinzhai with ice, told everyone the interpretation information, and then returned home alone.

They did not travel with the Zhao, Gu, or Tantai families, nor did they borrow the Song family's wooden-crowned crane for flight.

It can be said that once they enter the mountains and forests, they disappear without a trace.

At this moment, Changsun Xuanying had already returned to the southwest headquarters of the Changsun family.

The head of the Changsun family, Changsun Yonglie, had already arrived and sat imposingly in the hall.

After the travel-worn Changsun Xuanying entered, the current head of the family grinned, suddenly stood up, and appeared beside Changsun Xuanying in a blur, grabbing his shoulder and elbow with piercing eyes.

"My brother Xuan Ying, have you made a decision this time?"

Those burning gazes seemed to pierce through one's heart.
