Chapter 256: Chapter 161: Suppression by Force (Part 5)

BOOM!

Chu Lingguang slid back again.

He retreated two meters, one of his legs landing outside the sandy ground.

“Hold on… Just a little longer!”

WHOOSH!

Chu Lingguang shot away from his spot.

THWACK!

Samba’s saber strike slammed into the sand. The Qi Force sent sand flying to both sides, exposing the yellow earth beneath.

“ARGH!”

Samba was furious. If he could just land two consecutive blows, Chu Lingguang would be severely wounded, and victory would be his.

Veins bulged on his feet, and the blood in his vessels seemed to turn a dark brown. The three bowls of Beast Blood he drank daily had done more than just enhance his Flesh and Blood Power. The energy that had settled in his bloodline, once awakened in combat, would grant him a burst of speed.

And so, the moment Chu Lingguang dodged, he felt Samba’s blade lock onto him again.

He gritted his teeth, using his Flesh and Blood Power and Dragon Elephant Power to block the strike head-on.

’Just one more strike,’ he thought.

CLANG!

The Long Spear rang out. Chu Lingguang’s hands went numb, and he slid back once more. The moment he stopped, his ankles sank into the sand.

“You’re out of chances!”

Samba pressed his advantage, giving Chu Lingguang no opportunity to dodge again.

A sharp glint flashed in Chu Lingguang’s eyes.

He roared, “Now’s the moment!”

He plunged his Lightning Spear into the sand. As Samba’s saber descended, he wrenched the spear free. His entire Blood Dragon Elephant and eight main meridian Dragon Elephants, along with his Flesh and Blood Power, were amplified by his Operation Technique and Dermal Dharma Aspect, coalescing into his Spear Technique. The instant the spear left the ground, the technique automatically drew upon the power of the swirling sand and wind.

The power of his Spear Technique seemed to reach its zenith.

But just as he swept the Long Spear out…

A terrifying Dragon’s Roar and Elephant’s Wail erupted from the weapon. A phantom image of a Dragon Elephant materialized around the spear as the two-layered Potential Energy Superposition finally detonated.

His entire Bloodline Dragon Elephant and eight main meridian Dragon Elephants multiplied in power. It was as if Chu Lingguang had awakened more than twenty Bloodline Dragon Elephants at once. Amplified by his Potential Energy and Dharma Aspect, his Qi Power finally surpassed Samba’s.

“This…!”

To the bloodshot eyes of Samba, Chu Lingguang’s spear strike looked like the swipe of a giant dragon’s claw, or the stomp of a Divine Image’s foot.

The power of his own Dharma Aspect showed signs of collapsing under the pressure.

By then, the Long Spear and Horse-Cutting Saber had already collided. It was too late for him to dodge.

BAM!

A tremendous crash echoed.

Dust and sand swirled within the training ground like a hurricane. A figure shot out from the dust cloud with a BANG, smashed through the courtyard wall, and flew from the Inner Courtyard into the Outer Courtyard. The huge commotion startled the townspeople who had gathered around the Martial Arts Hall, eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Many began to wonder who had unleashed such a powerful sound.

Everyone inside the Martial Arts Hall stared at the sandy ground and the gaping hole in the wall. Through the hole, they could see a figure with an astonishing build, covered in blood, struggling to get up from the ground.

Back on the sandy ground, a lone, slender figure stood with his spear pointed diagonally toward the sky, his gaze locked on the person outside the wall.

“Lin Guang!”

Guo Wei’s eyes widened. The one who had been sent flying out of the Inner Courtyard, smashing through the wall, was actually Samba.

“Potential Energy Superposition… He…”

Guo Wei’s breathing grew ragged.

Potential Energy Superposition was the second realm of the Unity of Man and Gun. He had never taught it to Chu Lingguang. When had he mastered it? Moreover, judging by the might of that strike, the Potential Energy he had superimposed was clearly his own Dragon Elephant Power.

“It’s Chu Lingguang! He won!”

“Heavens, Samba was sent flying by Chu Lingguang.”

“That last spear strike was terrifying!”

Everyone was stunned. No one expected Chu Lingguang to turn the tables so completely.

Mahmoud, Iscoha, and the others looked on with fury, their eyes fixed on Samba in the Outer Courtyard.

Samba was covered in blood.

His second-level Dharma Aspect had been shattered by Chu Lingguang’s spear. His flesh looked as if it had been torn apart on the spot, with fresh blood seeping from his skin.

He was like a completely enraged beast that had lost all reason, and he quickly snatched up his long saber.

WHOOSH!

Seeing this, Chu Lingguang shot out from the Inner Courtyard. He unleashed his two-layered Potential Energy Superposition again, bringing his spear down diagonally on Samba. He held nothing back and dared not hesitate. After dispelling the recoil from his previous attack, he immediately launched another. He wasn’t foolish enough to just watch Samba gather his strength. As long as Samba hadn’t surrendered or collapsed, the duel wasn’t over.

This was his chance to strike while the enemy was down.

Samba instinctively raised his saber to block. In the process, he tossed a button from his clothes into his mouth. Chu Lingguang’s eyes were sharp, and he caught the subtle movement. A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he put even more force into his spear, daring not to show the slightest mercy.

BAM!

Against the two-layered Potential Energy Superposition, Samba’s twenty Bloodline Dragon Elephants no longer held an advantage. Moreover, his second-level Dharma Aspect had already collapsed. Even without using the superposition, Chu Lingguang’s Blood Dragon Elephant and eight main meridian Dragon Elephants, amplified by his Abdominal Vortex power and Dermal Dharma Aspect, were enough to fight Samba on equal footing.

Therefore, there was no way Samba could block this strike.

With a loud CRACK…

He shattered the earthen wall of the Outer Courtyard and went flying into the crowd outside the Martial Arts Hall. Just when everyone thought he would crash to the ground, his body seemed to receive a surge of power mid-air. When his feet landed, they sank deep into the packed yellow earth.

A terrifying aura of power surged from his body, washing over the crowd.

Feng Zhiwen caught a peculiar scent. He sniffed the air, his eyes widening in horror. “Oh no! He took a Frenzy Pill!”

A Frenzy Pill could double the user’s Qi Power for a short time, but it caused irreversible damage afterward, even scorching their bloodline and turning them into a cripple.

The Turkic Mission had hyped this battle up, treating it as the first major confrontation between the Turkic Kingdom and the Great Yuan Dynasty since the establishment of diplomatic ties.

The honor of the Turkic Kingdom and the Aika Tribe was at stake.

If Chu Lingguang could risk it all for glory, enduring the excruciating pain of swallowing two packs of Heart-Devouring Powder, then the equally ambitious Mahmoud and his men could also make Samba take Heart-Devouring Powder, and they had even prepared a Frenzy Pill for him.

However, they probably hadn’t expected Chu Lingguang to force Samba into a corner where he had to use the Frenzy Pill.

“ARGHHH!”

Samba tilted his head back and roared. Stimulated by the Frenzy Pill, the veins all over his body bulged as if he were activating the third level of the Dragon Elephant Dharma Aspect: the Tendon Aspect.

Of course, Samba couldn’t even stabilize his second-level Dharma Aspect, so it was impossible for him to activate the third.

What was happening was that under the effects of the Frenzy Pill, his Qi Power was skyrocketing, showing signs that it might burst through his blood vessels.

“Hurry! You only have a quarter of an hour!”

Mahmoud shouted at Samba.

The Frenzy Pill not only had side effects, but its effects also lasted for only a quarter of an hour.

Samba’s eyes were practically bleeding. His overwhelming aura sent the townspeople outside the Martial Arts Hall scattering in fear. He charged at Chu Lingguang, smashing through the broken earthen wall with his body.

The sensation of his power swelling was not pleasant; he needed to vent it, or his bloodline might actually rupture. He seemed to feel no pain, letting his blood spill freely.

If he was a wild beast before, he was now a berserk Demon Beast. Even Chu Lingguang couldn’t help but retreat.
