Chapter 21 - Mortal Martial Arts 3rd Level
Before he even had the chance to decide whether to attack, Chen Shaofeng had already taken action.
“Go!”
The Energy Ball shot out from his hand with incredible speed and enormous size, causing Guo Ming to become serious.
He finally understood how the martial practitioner at the fourth level of Innate Mortal Martial had died.
However, if that was all, it wouldn't do much harm to him.
Ha!
Guo Ming shouted, intending to deflect the Energy Ball with this cry.
However, he had clearly underestimated the Energy Ball's power and speed. Before he could react, it had already struck him.
Boom!
A huge explosion emanated from his body, and thick smoke enveloped him entirely.
Seeing this, Chen Shaofeng finally smiled. He knew that as long as his Energy Ball hit the target, the target would be hurt.
Of course, if his opponent was unharmed after such a powerful attack, he could only accept it as fate.
However, both he and his opponent had underestimated the power of the Energy Ball formed from the Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts.
When the smoke cleared, Guo Ming's miserable figure finally appeared before Chen Shaofeng.
Guo Ming had lost his previous composure, his face filled with disbelief and anger.
Considering the wounds on his body, it was clear that he had used all his strength to block the Energy Ball when it exploded.
“Stinking brat! I want you dead!”
He was furious! Completely enraged!
Ever since he started cultivating, aside from being pursued by experts, he had never been in such a sorry state.
Most importantly, the person who had put him in such a pathetic state was someone weaker than him. How could he not be angry?
The consequences of provoking a practitioner of the seventh level of Innate Mortal Martial were truly terrifying.
The aura he emitted at full strength was already enough to make Chen Shaofeng feel humiliated.
Chen Shaofeng's body immediately sank, and he once again secretly activated the Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts attack. Knowing its value to him, he naturally wouldn't give up on it.
So, after releasing that attack, he had already begun his preparations. Now, it was about to take shape. Although its power was slightly diminished, he still believed it wouldn't be ineffective.
Simultaneously, in his rage, Guo Ming charged at Chen Shaofeng with no regard for anything else, covering his fist with true power, and aimed his incredibly strong punch directly at Chen Shaofeng.
If this punch landed, even if Chen Shaofeng didn't die, he would be severely crippled.
“Now is the time!”
The Energy Ball in Chen Shaofeng's hands flew out again, striking straight towards Guo Ming.
Guo Ming never expected Chen Shaofeng to release the Energy Ball again so quickly.
This time, he didn't dare to be careless and channeled his true strength frantically.
“Tiger Subduing Fist!”
The Tiger Subduing Fist unleashed a formidable force, aiming straight at the Energy Ball.
Under this fist, the Energy Ball immediately disintegrated, scattering its energy in all directions.
As expected, the seventh level of Innate Mortal Martial was formidable, and even an ordinary Tiger Subduing Fist possessed immense power.
Of course, after dispersing the Energy Ball, Guo Ming didn't halt his attacks and charged straight at Chen Shaofeng.
Chen Shaofeng didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed the Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts once more. An overwhelmingly tyrannical aura filled his body, while the resulting energy extended towards his right fist.
It seemed like a long time, but it actually happened in an instant.
“Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts!”
Chen Shaofeng punched towards Guo Ming's Tiger Subduing Fist.
“You really can't learn! Do you think changing your attack can stop my Tiger Subduing Fist?”
Guo Ming's expression grew cold as he shouted, “Tiger Subduing Fist! Open!”
Chen Shaofeng's body immediately sank, his feet digging into the ground, which began to crack.
Although it was just a little, it still showed the immense power he was enduring.
“No!” His strength is too overwhelming; I can't match him.”
The moment he felt the other’s fist, Chen Shaofeng realized they were not on the same level.
Even if he used his most powerful technique, the Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts, it wouldn't make a difference. The intense force traveled through his fist inch by inch, making him think of giving up.
However, he knew that giving up meant death.
He couldn’t die here; he had too much left to do and didn’t want his life to end now.
Pressure! An unprecedented pressure.
Desire! He had an unprecedented longing for power.
Chen Shaofeng knew he couldn't just sit and wait for death; he had to fight back and unleash the Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts to its fullest.
At this point, he no longer cared about how much true energy he had left. Those concerns were irrelevant now.
What mattered now was finding a way to survive. This was the most crucial issue.
“It seems you have some skill. But how long can you sustain this kind of attack?”
With those words, Guo Ming's right fist grew even stronger, causing Chen Shaofeng's feet to sink further into the ground.
“No matter how long it lasts, even if you want to kill me, I won’t let you survive.”
Chen Shaofeng also intensified the power of his Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts.
However, no matter how much he strengthened it, he couldn't counterattack. Guo Ming's presence felt like a colossal mountain, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.
“I must admit, your strength is indeed formidable. Among your generation, you’re exceptionally powerful. However, despite this, only death awaits you.”
Guo Ming finally stopped holding back and continued to increase his attack power.
“Die!”
The Tiger Subduing Fist unleashed immense power, rushing towards Chen Shaofeng with destructive force.
Despite feeling the formidable Tiger Subduing Fist, Chen Shaofeng persisted in using it. However, no matter how he tried, it was futile against Guo Ming who was wielding it at full strength.
“Am I really going to die here?” Chen Shaofeng thought numbly.
Then, shaking his head, he declared, “No! I can't just die here. If I die, they won't spare Meng Er and the others either.”
Thinking of Guo Ming's longing gaze towards Meng Er, Chen Shaofeng's expression turned serious.
He roared, “I refuse to accept this fate! I've endured seven years of ridicule and scorn. I won't die like this.”
Boom!
In that instant, Chen Shaofeng's body trembled. He, who was originally at the second level of the Innate Mortal Martial Stage, directly advanced to the third level.
Although his strength only increased by one level, it underwent a significant transformation.
The Crimson Flame Tyrant Killing Arts became instantly more potent.
His previously suppressed fist grew stronger, and his true energy was greatly replenished.
Though not fully recovered, the level-up made Chen Shaofeng significantly stronger in an instant.
This caused Guo Ming to immediately feel pressured.
“Pressure? How can I, Guo Ming, feel pressured? He's just a brat at the third level of Innate Mortal Martial. Why should I be concerned about him?”
Thinking this, Guo Ming adjusted his stance and attacked again.
