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

Before Chen Xing could finish speaking, he suddenly pushed off with his foot!

boom!

The hard ground was pounded into a shallow crater, and he was like a cannonball fired from a gun.

He rushed in front of Chen Xuan in an instant!

The Dragon Spine Staff was raised high, carrying a violent momentum like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, before crashing down on his head!

【Mountain-Crushing Staff - Mountain-Crushing Style】!

There are no fancy tricks, only pure, extreme power and speed!

Even before the stick arrived, the pressure was as heavy as a mountain.

It made Chen Xuan gasp for breath!

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, no longer daring to take the hit head-on.

He held the spear horizontally with both hands, channeling spiritual energy into the spear shaft in an attempt to block and deflect the force.

clang--!!!

Another deafening explosion!

Chen Xuan felt as if his arms had been hit head-on by a battering ram.

The bones groaned under the strain, and the tiger's mouth instantly cracked open.

Blood stained the gun barrel!

The terrifying force lifted his feet off the ground.

He was thrown backward and crashed heavily into the exterior wall of the supermarket.

The wall was cracked, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat.

A mouthful of blood surged up, but he forced it back down, though his breathing was already completely disordered.

"The fourth move."

Chen Xing followed Chen Xuan like a shadow, giving him no chance to breathe!

His footwork shifted, and he closed the distance in an instant.

The dragon spine staff traced a tricky arc from bottom to top.

He directly attacked Chen Xuan's exposed chest and abdomen!

【Mountain Crushing Staff - Rising Dragon Staff】!

Chen Xuan managed to turn sideways, his spear shaft blocking the way.

However, due to insufficient strength in the rush, the tip of the stick grazed his shoulder, tearing his clothes.

His shoulder instantly became red and swollen, and he staggered and fell to one side.

The spear almost slipped from his hand, and his spear technique became completely chaotic.

"The fifth move."

Just as Chen Xuan lost his footing, Chen Xing had a sudden thought.

[Battle Intent Pressure] Unleashed instantly!

An invisible spiritual aura suddenly descended.

Enveloped Chen Xuan within it!

Chen Xuan felt a buzzing in his head, as if a giant hammer had struck his soul!

An indescribable sense of fear instantly swept over my entire body!

action!

thinking!

Even the circulation of spiritual energy within the body.

They all seemed to be stuck in a sticky swamp, slowing down by more than a beat!

For the first time, horror appeared in his eyes.

He had never experienced this kind of mental suppression before!

"The sixth move."

Chen Xing seized this fleeting opportunity and exerted force with his feet.

He leaped into the air, his hands gripping the end of the Dragon Spine Staff tightly.

Twist your waist!

All the power in my body!

Fighting spirit!

Even the killing intent that had just boiled over from the battle was completely concentrated in this one strike!

A jet-black dragon spine staff.

At this moment, it seemed to transform into a pillar supporting the sky, tearing the heavens apart!

【Mountain Collapse Staff - Top Press】!

Ugh—!

The staff flashed through the air, carrying an aura of destruction that could suppress everything.

It slammed down fiercely on the object whose movements were slowed by the [Battle Intent Pressure].

Chen Xuan's head was impossible to defend against!

The force of the stick made Chen Xuan's ice-blue short hair dance wildly behind him, and his skin stung!

The shadow of death instantly enveloped him!

However, just as the tip of the stick was less than three inches from Chen Xuan's head, it suddenly stopped!

The terrifying gust of wind shook the concrete ground beneath his feet, causing it to crack inch by inch.

It spread out like a spider web, with smoke and dust rising everywhere.

Chen Xuan stood frozen in place, his face pale.

Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and the spear in his hand fell limply to the ground.

He was breathing heavily, his heart pounding like a drum.

Just a moment ago, he really smelled the scent of death.

But there was no fear in his eyes.

There was no resentment, only unparalleled shock, and...

A strange sense of satisfaction, as if a wish had been fulfilled.

Chen Xing slowly withdrew his stick and took a step back.

The dragon spine staff tapped the ground lightly, making a soft thud.

He looked at Chen Xuan, who was still somewhat lost in thought.

The evaluation was given in a flat tone:

"Six moves. Not bad."

Chen Xuan remained silent for a full five or six seconds before seemingly breaking free from the suffocating feeling of impending death.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his churning blood and lingering heart palpitations.

Then, facing Chen Xing.

He solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply.

"I've learned a lot. Thank you for showing mercy, Brother Xing."

He raised his head, his icy blue eyes shining through.

The previous shock has transformed into an even more resolute radiance.

The fighting spirit hadn't subsided, but a deep sense of respect had grown within them.

He looked at Chen Xing and said, word by word:

"The gap is bigger than I imagined."

"But I will catch up."

"One day, I will stand before you again and ask for your guidance."

Chen Xing looked at the seriousness and determination in his eyes and slowly nodded:

"expect."

Chen Xuan didn't say anything more, nor did he press the matter further.

He bent down and picked up the spear that had fallen to the ground.

He carefully wiped the blood off the gun barrel and then put it back on his back.

He glanced at Chen Xing one last time before turning away.

Walk towards the other side of the supermarket ruins.

Although his steps were still a little unsteady, his back was straight.

Just as he was about to disappear around the corner of the broken wall, he paused slightly.

Without turning around, the clear, cold voice returned distinctly:

"Brother Xing, be careful."

"Deep within this testing site, there are third-tier demonic beasts."

"I sensed an extremely dangerous aura over there. It... is very intelligent."

"He kept avoiding people, as if he was observing something."

After saying that, he vanished completely into the shadows of the ruins.

Chen Xing stood there, looking in the direction Chen Xuan had left, lost in thought.

A third-tier monster?

Clever, able to hide, observing?

He recalled what happened after he entered the examination center.

This was an efficient and smooth killing spree.

Those things that should have been entrenched deep within.

A powerful monster that serves as the gatekeeper boss.

He always seemed to cleverly avoid his main route.

Most of the enemies he encountered were first-order and ordinary second-order enemies.

He used to think it was just good luck.

Or someone else shared the burden.

But now it seems...

This is no coincidence.

It was done intentionally.

Something was secretly observing me, and...

It is being intentionally guided, or rather...

Avoid direct conflict with yourself?

interesting.

Chen Xing hoisted the Dragon Spine Staff onto his shoulder, changing his original direction of advance.

Turn around and head deeper into the town.

That area was marked as an "unexplored high-risk area".

I took a step and walked over.

This time, he no longer pursued the ultimate killing efficiency.

Instead, he deliberately slowed down, taking each step with composure and vigilance.

All the senses in the body are heightened to the extreme.

They carefully detected any unusual scent in the air.

Especially... that subtle sense of being watched.

As he ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly dilapidated and desolate.

The traces of monsters are becoming fewer and fewer.

But the invisible sense of oppression in the air grew heavier and heavier.

Finally, after passing through a block that had been burned down to its frame.

Chen Xing stopped again.

He caught it.

There was a hint of coldness in it.

Like the hiss of a venomous snake in the darkness.

This aura is not fixed in a certain location.

Rather, it was within a hundred-meter radius around him.

It is unpredictable, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.

It is well hidden and almost blends into its environment.

If Chen Xing's spiritual power were not far superior to those of others of the same level...

Furthermore, given the ability to be exceptionally sensitive to auras, such as the [Battle Intent Pressure], it would likely be difficult to detect.

More importantly, this aura gave him a sense of danger.

It far surpasses the Tier 3 low-level Crimson Scaled Earth Dragon cub he encountered in the arena!

Third-order median?

Moreover, the other party was clearly observing him as well.

It might even be... a way of seducing him.

Chen Xing sneered inwardly.

It seems I was right.

There really is a cunning hunter hiding in this test site.

And it seems that it has regarded itself as a feast worth waiting for patiently.

He didn't turn around, nor did he look around.

They didn't even show any sign of noticing.

He continued walking forward.

However, in secret, the [battle intent pressure] had already been quietly accumulating.

[Indestructible Vajra] operates at full power, and a faint golden luster appears beneath the skin.

The Dragon Spine Staff in his hand was also adjusted to an angle where a thunderous strike could be unleashed at any moment.

The roles of hunter and prey.

Sometimes, the distinction isn't so clear.

Meanwhile, in the town center area.

An ancient one.

The top of the enormous clock tower, which has long since ceased operation.

Behind the broken stained glass window.

A pair of deep green vertical pupils were staring unblinkingly.

He peered intently through the gap at the street below.

That was moving at a leisurely pace.

A figure carrying a long black staff.
