Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

"..."

Junsheng's expression froze for a moment.

He seemed surprised to receive such an answer.

Those dark golden eyes were fixed on Chen Xing.

It was as if they wanted to penetrate his skin and see into the true thoughts deep within his soul.

A few seconds later.

"Ha ha……"

Junsheng suddenly chuckled softly, the laughter rising in pitch.

It brought a sense of joy, like discovering an interesting toy, but more than that, it was a chilling cruelty.

"How dare you!"

He stopped laughing and looked at Chen Xing.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered such... reckless humans."

"State your name. I, Junsheng, do not kill nameless ghosts with my gun."

"Chen Xing." Chen Xing uttered two words.

"Chen Xing?"

Junsheng frowned slightly, as if searching for the name in his memory.

He then shook his head, the curve of his lips growing even colder.

"Never heard of it."

"However, the fact that you can stand up to me without flinching, and even dare to provoke me, means you deserve to be remembered by me."

He paused, then slowly raised the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand.

The spear tip was pointed at Chen Xing's throat, and the dark golden demonic energy began to surge like boiling magma.

It rose in wisps from every pore of his body.

"Remember the name of the person who killed you—"

Junsheng's voice, like the pronouncement of death, echoed through this desolate mining area.

"Jun Sheng of the Rift Gold Clan."

The moment the words left his mouth, the air between the two of them seemed to freeze.

It was as if it had been completely frozen.

Chen Xing did not act immediately.

He remained calmly standing in place, his shattered staff pointing diagonally at the ground.

The purplish-gold qi and blood slowly accumulated within the body, without leaking out in the slightest.

He was waiting. Waiting for Junsheng to make the first move.

He wanted to see with his own eyes the full power of this prodigy from the Rift Gold Clan.

Just how strong is he? His fighting rhythm, habits, and even his possible weaknesses.

Junsheng also did not rush to attack.

He gripped the Golden Dragon Spear, his dark golden eyes scanning Chen Xing back and forth.

Especially the seemingly ordinary black staff in his hand, and Chen Xing's calm and unwavering aura.

Gradually, the initial mockery in Junsheng's eyes faded.

It was replaced by a rare solemnity.

This human named Chen Xing gave him a very unusual feeling.

That terrifyingly calm gaze is something only someone who has truly experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood can possess.

This is definitely not an ordinary martial arts student.

Or perhaps it's the kind of temperament that those "geniuses" raised in greenhouses by the three major families possess.

"Interesting humans."

When Junsheng spoke, the metallic quality in his voice became more pronounced, carrying a hint of eager anticipation.

He slightly adjusted the angle of the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand, locking it onto Chen Xing's heart.

"I hope... you're not too weak."

He licked his dry lips, his smile cold and bloodthirsty.

"Let me... have some fun."

Within Chen Xing's body, the dormant purplish-gold blood and qi finally began to surge, emitting a deep roar like a rushing river!

A defiant, unyielding, and indomitable spirit of the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven Staff".

It slowly emanated from his body, blending with Jun Sheng's cold and sharp demonic aura.

Silent strangulation in the air!

"As you wish."

Chen Xing's voice remained calm, yet it seemed to carry the echo of clashing metal.

boom--!!!

Almost as soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Jun Sheng moved!

The dark golden ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded!

In an instant, he covered a distance of thirty meters!

The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand transformed into a golden lightning bolt that tore through the heavens and earth.

With a piercing shriek and an indestructible, terrifying sharpness, it thrust straight toward Chen Xing's chest!

The speed is even faster than when it instantly killed the Fire Lizard Dragon!

Its power will be even greater!

Maximize its destructive power!

The cold glint of the spear tip rapidly magnified in Chen Xing's pupils.

It seemed to pierce through him and the space behind him!

However, Chen Xing's reaction was equally swift!

The moment Jun Sheng exerted force under his feet, Chen Xing's discerning eyes spotted him.

He had already accurately captured the flow of his demonic energy and predicted the trajectory of the spear thrust!

Beneath his feet, a miniature somersault cloud erupted!

brush--!!!

Chen Xing's figure left an almost imperceptible afterimage in the spot.

The real body had already moved half a meter to the right as if by teleportation!

At the same time, the Shattering Mountain Staff in Chen Xing's hand moved!

The Shattering Mountain Staff, with its jet-black blade, carries a terrifying power as heavy as a mountain.

And the indomitable and domineering Qi Tian Cudgel Intent, aimed at Jun Sheng, but missed its target with a single thrust.

He swept his weapon across the open right side of the defense with a fierce, sweeping motion!

The wind howled, and the air was compressed, creating a loud popping sound!

Attack against attack!

Chen Xing's fighting style has never been solely about defense or hit-and-run tactics.

In Junsheng's eyes, a burst of golden light flashed!

Just as the Mountain-Shattering Staff was about to strike, he forcefully twisted his forward momentum.

His left elbow, like an iron hammer, emanated a dark golden demonic aura and slammed fiercely into the sweeping Mountain-Shattering Staff!

At the same time, with a flick of his right wrist, the Golden Dragon Spear pierced through empty air.

The gun bounced back instantly, its butt whistling sharply as it aimed at Chen Xing's temple!

Use your elbow to withstand the heavy blow! Use the butt of your spear to strike a vital spot!

It also employs offense as a form of defense, and is ruthless and cunning!

clang--!!!!!!!!!

The Shattering Mountain Staff collided solidly with Jun Sheng's elbow, which was covered in demonic energy!

It produced a terrifying roar, like two metal mountains colliding!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Chen Xing felt a terrifying recoil force with the sharp characteristics of metal.

The shock came from the stick, making his arms go numb and his tiger's mouth slightly torn!

Junsheng was also having a hard time.

He groaned, and the dark golden demonic energy at his left elbow vibrated violently and dimmed.

A sharp, distinct pain, like a bone fracture, shot through my arm!

A look of disbelief and horror flashed in his eyes—

How could human strength be so terrifying?!

This is not the kind of power one should have at the mid-level of the Fourth Realm!

And that stick... was too heavy!

The shock made his blood and qi churn!

And in that split second of intense, hard-fought clash...

Jun Sheng's spear, aimed at Chen Xing's temple, was already inches away!

A flash of purple-gold light appeared in Chen Xing's eyes, and he tilted his head slightly.

Almost at the same instant the butt of the spear grazed past, Chen Xing's Broken Mountain Staff was shaken and tilted back slightly.

Using the force of the recoil, its trajectory took an unexpected turn, changing from a sweep to a smash.

The second strike, a raging inferno, had already been launched, carrying even greater power than before.

The spear slammed down hard on Junsheng's head, which was relatively vulnerable due to the pointed spear tip!

Junsheng's pupils suddenly contracted!

Chen Xing's relentless attacks completely disrupted his rhythm!

He had just taken a blow and injured his arm.

The blood and qi are churning, and the old strength has been exhausted.

Faced with this sudden blow, there was no time to dodge!

"roar--!!!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Junsheng let out a violent and frenzied roar from deep in his throat!

The power of the peak King-level bloodline within him erupted with a thunderous roar!

The dark golden demonic energy instantly condensed on his body into a layer of solid, metallic dark golden demonic armor!

Especially around the head, the thickness of the demonic armor instantly doubled, gleaming with a cold metallic light!

At the same time, he forcibly twisted his neck, shifting his head slightly away from its vital parts.

Using his left shoulder, covered by the thickest demon armor, he took the brunt of the falling mountain-shattering staff head-on!

Bang--!!!!!!!!!

An even deeper, more terrifying explosion erupted!

It was as if a meteorite had struck the earth!

Junsheng was knocked off the ground by the blow and flew dozens of meters away.

It crashed violently into a steep, metallic rock wall behind it.

The impact dented the rock face, creating a human-shaped crater, and cracks spread like a spider web!

He spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood, and the demonic armor on his left shoulder shattered completely.

A clear cracking sound came from the shoulder blade, and the entire left arm hung limply, clearly temporarily useless!

Chen Xing was also thrown back seven or eight steps by the force of the recoil, each step leaving a deep footprint on the hard ground.

But his hand holding the stick remained as steady as a rock, and the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even more fiercely!

The first encounter was swift and extremely dangerous.

Chen Xing suffered minor injuries in exchange for Jun Sheng's severe left arm injury and fractured scapula!

Chen Xing, who had just regained his footing, and Jun Sheng, who was struggling to get up from the crater in the rock wall and covered in blood.

In their eyes burned a cold, relentless flame.

Only the soldiers in hand.

It's a matter of life and death.
