Chapter 372 - Thunder Clap
Slowly, Xue Ba stood up from the ground. His eyes, which were staring at Xiang Jinglei, narrowed as they shot out two beams of cold light!"Xiang Jinglei, you forced me to do all of this. You dared to disrupt my plans and hurt my family. You owe me this, I will make you pay for it with your blood!"
Hearing this, Xiang Jinglei smiled disdainfully, "If you want to make a move, then do it. Why do you need to find such a grand excuse? How laughable."
"Humph!" Anger burned within Xue Ba"s heart when he saw Xiang Jinglei"s disdainful gaze. At this moment, the fear in his heart was completely replaced by hatred and venom. He no longer had any scruples!
When I joined the army, you were just a little brat who didn"t do anything. It was only because of your father"s relationship that you"re sitting in a high position now. Do you really think that your strength is enough to contend against me? "
As he spoke to here, Xue Ba"s robe suddenly fluttered violently as a majestic aura poured down like a torrent. The pressure of a Profound Cloud Realm pinnacle was like a tall mountain that filled the long corridor, causing one to only be able to look up to it!
Covered in this majestic aura, Xiang Yun felt his chest feeling stuffy, his breathing stifled, as if he had dived into a pool of deep water. He was slightly aghast in his heart; at this moment, Xue Ba"s aura was actually even stronger than when he was fighting against him!
At this moment, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but start to worry. His elder brother had just stepped into the Profound Cloud Realm, and Xue Ba was a true expert at the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm.
On the path of cultivation, the higher the cultivation, the greater the gap between each step. It was already difficult for an early stage of the Profound Cloud Realm to defeat a middle stage of the Profound Cloud Realm, and even more impossible for one to defeat a peak of the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm.
However, Xiang Jinglei, who was at the center of this wave of aura, straightened his back in the face of the impact of this majestic aura. His body did not move like a mountain and did not appear intimidated by this aura in the slightest."Since you"re so confident, why don"t you give it a try?"
The light in Xue Ba"s eyes flickered. He stared at Xiang Jinglei without moving as he carefully probed Xiang Jinglei"s aura with his consciousness. After confirming that the latter was undoubtedly at the early stage of the Profound Cloud Realm, Xue Ba finally relaxed and revealed his killing intent!
"Since you want to court death, I"ll grant your wish!"
"Boom!"
Xue Ba suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out two three feet long iron rods from his waist. They suddenly merged in front of him, and a long spear that was almost ten feet long and made of a dark red special iron appeared in his hands.
The moment the spear was merged together, a crimson aura that seemed to be made of blood and fire surrounded the spear"s body. The blood-red spear immediately exuded a searing b.l.o.o.d.y aura!Xue Ba was the commander of the Black Armored Army. For the past dozens of years, he had galloped across the battlefield with his spear in hand. The spear was his most prided and his most powerful weapon!
His large hands grasped onto the middle of the spear shaft and it suddenly danced. The blood-red colored flame created a red curtain of light that surrounded his body and congealed without dispersing!
In just an instant, the body of the spear had already disappeared from everyone"s sight. Xue Ba seemed to not have any spear in his hand, only a burning crimson colored flame, which scattered and gathered around him like a blood-red cloud, looking gorgeous yet filled with a fiery and ruthless aura!When the tenth breath pa.s.sed, a huge red cloud condensed from blood-red flames had already formed around Xue Ba, and wrapped him up in the center. The moment he raised his spear, pointing it straight at Xiang Jinglei, the aura on his body rose crazily, and the blood-red flames around his body seemed to boil!
"Xiang Jinglei, take out your weapon and fight me. I"ll let you die by my hands!"
With your martial arts skills, you will be able to rest in peace! "He looked at Xue Ba, who was standing in the sea of blood-colored flames with an aura that was like that of a demon G.o.d that overflowed into the sky.
Xiang Jinglei, however, remained motionless, calmly looking at him.
"Do whatever you want. I don"t need to use my weapon against you!""What!"
Hearing this, not just Xue Ba, but even Xiang Yun felt that it was a little inconceivable. Xiang Lei was just too arrogant. When Xue Ba was facing Xiang Yun, he had never used his weapon before.
It was the first time he saw Xue Ba use a pike, and with merely a glance, he could tell that it was definitely an extraordinary cloud artifact. The strange martial skill that the latter was using right now was filled with extremely overbearing sharpness, and its power was unimaginable.
At the very least, Xiang Yun could clearly sense that if he were to face this attack, even if he used his strongest attack to block it, he would still not be able to avoid being killed.
"A toad yawning, what big words you have! Xiang Jinglei, this is my last chance for you. If you insist on dying, then don"t blame me for what I"ve done!" When Xue Ba saw Xiang Jinglei"s indifferent and calm att.i.tude, he could not help but scold him in anger.Towards this, Xiang Jinglei maintained his expressionless face, speaking coldly.
"I"ll also give you one last chance. Bring out all of your strength. You"ll only have this one chance to make a move!"
"You"re courting death!"
Xue Ba flew into a rage. He no longer cared about the dignity of an expert. The long spear in his hand suddenly congealed, rapidly rotating in his hand.
"Blood Cloud Three Breaks!"
The rapidly spinning spear in Xue Ba"s hand suddenly thrust forward, the blood-red colored flames in the surroundings surged forward, but he abruptly grabbed onto the long spear midway, and threw it forward once again!
This happened three times in a row, and the blood-red flames on all four sides were compressed to such an extent that they actually turned into a gigantic flaming spear, enveloping the spear in Xue Ba"s hands and shooting forward at the same time!
"Xiang Jinglei, die!"Xue Ba stomped his feet on the ground. Like a raging bull, he pushed the blood-red spear in front of him. With a whistling sound, he galloped forward with great momentum, causing the s.p.a.ce of the seventh floor to ripple violently like a lake!
The entire corridor was covered in this blood-red color. The center of this immense power was the sharpest point, directly facing Xiang Jinglei who stood with his hands behind his back!
"Be careful!"
Facing such a terrifying attack, even Xiang Yun couldn"t help but remind him.
However, it was as if Xiang Jinglei did not hear him. He stood there unmoving, staring at the blood-colored spear flying towards him. It continued to enlarge, enlarge, and enlarge in front of his eyes …It was only when Xue Ba pushed the blood-colored spear forward and brought it with him to a spot three steps away from him that Xiang Jinglei suddenly let out a deep and furious shout!
"Gather!"
"Boom!"
Accompanied by an explosive clap of thunder, Xiang Yun could clearly see from behind Xiang Jinglei. The originally empty hand behind him gripped tightly, a long spear of silver lightning that was more than ten feet long formed out of thin air, completely composed of thunder and lightning energy!This was a spear that Xiang Tian had condensed using the power of thunder and cloud in his body. The moment it appeared, the s.p.a.ce behind him was illuminated by the silver light to the point that it was as bright as day!
In the next moment, Xiang Jinglei"s entire body surged with silver lightning energy. Facing the frightening attack Xue Ba had prepared, he did not advance and retreated instead. He actually held onto the lightning spear with one hand and took a step forward with his big hand, thrusting towards the blood spear in Xue Ba"s hand!
"Break!"
At this moment, Xiang Lei"s hair, armor, and cloak were all illuminated with a silver light. He was like a G.o.d of thunder that descended from the heavens, bringing with him the power of thunder that annihilated all!
"Rumble!"The collision between the long silver spear and the blood-red spear left the entire building unable to endure its impact. The floor of the seventh floor"s long corridor started to crack and collapse. The fierce wind from the corridor knocked over all the barbarian guards.
Even Xiang Yun was desperately channeling his cloud energy, leaning forward with one hand to prop himself up against the wall so that he would not be sent flying backwards.
He tried his best to open his eyes to see the result clearly. However, after that collision, a dazzling light burst out, making it impossible for others to look at him. Naturally, they had no way of knowing what the result would be.After about ten breaths of time, when the gale dissipated and the brilliance vanished, the eager crowd was finally able to clearly see the two figures in the middle of the long corridor, which was filled with smoke and dust!
With just a single glance, everyone was stunned, their eyes widened in disbelief. The air became silent, and everyone seemed to have something stuck in their throats, making them unable to say a single word.
Even Xiang Yun had an expression of shock as if he had seen a ghost!
In the middle of the battlefield, the two of them were still standing facing each other. Xiang Jinglei"s gaze stared straight ahead, while in front of him, the originally shocking Xue Ba had already withdrawn his might, standing facing Xiang Jinglei.
Although he was standing, Xue Ba"s body was currently leaning backwards because his chest was pierced by a lightning spear. The long spear pierced through his body and one end was stabbed into the ground several tens of meters deep. Xue Ba was stuck on the lightning spear and could not fall down.
At this moment, the blood-red refined iron spear in his hand had turned into fragments that covered the ground from the tip to the end of the spear.With disbelief, Xue Ba lowered his head to look at the lightning spear that pa.s.sed through his chest, then looked at his own b.l.o.o.d.y palm and the fine iron fragments on the ground. Fresh blood unceasingly surged out from his mouth, and his gaze gradually began to dissipate.
"How is this possible?"
Xiang Jinglei, on the other hand, expressionlessly stretched out his hand and gripped the end of the lightning spear as he muttered to himself, "Is this the strength of someone at the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm? So it turns out that the average peak of the Profound Cloud Realm pract.i.tioner is still so weak!"As he finished speaking, Xiang Jinglei"s large hand clenched into a fist. The long spear of thunder instantly turned into a bolt of lightning that shattered!
"Bam!"The long spear transformed into lightning bolts that rained down, instantly enveloping Xue Ba"s entire body. However, in the blink of an eye, the lightning slowly dissipated, and Xue Ba"s body disappeared from where he stood. All that was left behind was a black metal ball that was the size of a baby"s fist, glowing with a black light.
Xue Ba was already dead!
"Hiss!"Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire arena froze. It was as if time had frozen at this moment. Everyone could not help but suck in a deep breath of cold air. They were deeply shocked by the result of the battle that exceeded everyone"s expectations!
At this moment, the only thought in Xiang Yun"s heart was this.
"So f * cking fierce!"
Xue Ba, who was only at the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm, was actually unable to withstand one of Xiang Jinglei"s early stage Profound Cloud Realm attacks. The latter"s 41 spirit root talent was indeed heaven defying, and coupled with the innate thunder spirit root, his power was actually so terrifying that even an ordinary Profound Cloud Realm martial artist was unable to withstand one of Xiang Jinglei"s attacks!
The higher one"s talent was, the more obvious it was when one was at the same level as another. There was a difference of clouds and mud between G.o.d and man; this was the unfathomable Seven Stars Continent!
