Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Super Grade Martial Arts: Tiger Slaughter Divine Skill!

“The Golden Dragon Treasure Saber, rumored to be forged by masters of the Holy Sect using Ancient Magnetic Iron, with mysterious array talismans engraved inside, specifically restrains all kinds of strange metals in the world.”

Lu Zhongshan whispered solemnly.

It seemed like he was talking to himself, but in reality, he was revealing information to Jiang Shi.

“Golden Dragon Treasure Saber? What a grand name!”

Jiang Shi furrowed his brow and said, “Bring it over and let me take a look!”

Whoosh!

He swiftly pounced forward, charging towards the Holy Envoy once more.

Enraged, the Holy Envoy shouted, “Lu Zhongshan, why haven’t you taken action to help me subdue this person?!”

He wielded the treasure saber, immediately activating his body technique and saber technique. Brilliant rays flared, his body moving fluidly, occasionally emitting dazzling sword qi as he charged towards Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi swung the Wolf Fang Club, continuously smashing it with thunderous sounds.

None of the sword qi could reach his body; as soon as they approached, they were shattered on the spot by his strikes.

Initially, the Holy Envoy could still dodge and evade using his body technique, but he was soon caught up by Jiang Shi. The hefty Wolf Fang Club swung down, as if overwhelming the entire sky, brutally pounding towards his body. His face changed dramatically, and he could only wield the treasure saber to block.

But this defense instantly landed him back in the same predicament as before, his arms aching from the shock, blood surging, as if he’d been hit by a mountain. Unable to stop himself, he staggered backward repeatedly.

Jiang Shi pressed his advantage relentlessly, having gained the upper hand. He swung the Wolf Fang Club again and again, continuously pounding towards the opponent’s body.

“Lu Zhongshan, aren’t you going to take action?”

The Holy Envoy shouted angrily.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Each strike landed with a deafening sound, qi force whistling through the air, making it increasingly difficult for the Holy Envoy to hold on. His arms were almost numb.

Lu Zhongshan ignored his calls, his expression indifferent as he stood at the corner, as if he hadn’t seen anything.

The Holy Envoy’s heart turned icy cold instantly.

It’s over.

Was Lu Zhongshan plotting against him?

Seeing Jiang Shi continuing to attack, he barely managed to block another strike. He shouted angrily, swiping his palm, releasing over a dozen golden needles, as fine as ox hair, shooting towards Jiang Shi’s body.

Jiang Shi’s expression changed, immediately swinging the Wolf Fang Club to block them quickly.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

A series of crisp sounds rang out.

The thin golden needles were all sent flying.

And just as the needles were knocked away, the Holy Envoy seized the opportunity to retreat, unfolding his body technique. In an instant, he landed at a distance, his face grim, once again glaring at Jiang Shi and Lu Zhongshan.

“Alright, Lu Zhongshan, how dare you rebel!”

His voice was icy cold.

“The Holy Envoy is mistaken. I’m seriously injured and truly powerless to help. Moreover, I’ve been relieved of my duties, so I can’t assist the Holy Envoy.”

Lu Zhongshan spoke weakly, coughing up a mouthful of blood again.

“Nonsense!”

The Holy Envoy’s face turned furious.

Clearly, Lu Zhongshan was defying him, trying to use someone else’s hand to remove him.

Moments ago he was full of energy, how could he suddenly be seriously injured!

His gaze turned icy as he looked at Jiang Shi again, saying, “Young one, I know your physical power is strong, but do you think you can contend with me relying solely on your physical power? I’ll show you what true martial arts are!”

Boom!

An aura burst forth from him suddenly, a deafening tiger’s roar vaguely echoing. Intense airflow surged directly out of his pores, spreading in all directions.

Vegetables of veins surfaced and crawled over his entire body. Bone-cracking sounds echoed from his body, like fried copper beans bursting.

His body grew three more inches taller and larger, like it had been inflated.

A fierce and savage aura emanated from him, as if he had turned into a terrifying demon beast.

Lu Zhongshan’s expression changed, blurting out instantly.

“Super Grade Martial Arts, Tiger Slaughter Divine Skill!”

Startled, he hurriedly cried, “Brother Jiang, be careful!”

“Super Grade Martial Arts!”

Jiang Shi’s expression turned extremely solemn.

“Young one, it’s your honor to witness my Super Grade Martial Arts. Now die!”

The Holy Envoy’s voice was sinister, his body charging rapidly again, truly like a terrifying demon beast. The golden saber in his hand emitted a dazzling and brilliant light, once more slashing fiercely towards Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi knew there was no avoiding it. His entire body tensed up, as if transformed into a body of bronze skin and iron bones, and he swung the Wolf Fang Club directly towards the Holy Envoy to smash.

Clang!

Rumble!

A massive roar spread instantly between the two, waves of air currents swept in all directions, like surging tides.

The people standing around were all shocked with ringing ears, covering their ears.

After the exchange, both Jiang Shi and the Holy Envoy quickly retreated.

But this time, the two of them retreated the same distance, withdrawing over ten meters back, almost landing on their butts.

Jiang Shi’s palm stung, a wave of discomfort surged through him. This was the first time he felt such a sensation in a direct clash, staring in shock at his opponent again.

“As expected of Super Grade Martial Arts!”

The power of such martial arts is enormous, instantly boosting a person’s strength almost by half.

Originally, this Holy Envoy could only parry under his Wolf Fang Club, but now he could clash fiercely with him without losing ground.

This was simply incredible!

He didn’t realize, however, this was due to the Holy Envoy’s lack of mastery over the Super Grade Martial Arts.

If his opponent trained the Super Grade Martial Arts to a deeper level, he would definitely be in danger today.

The Holy Envoy’s face also looked particularly unsightly. After failing to land a blow, his entire body continued to transmit intense pain, as if being set on fire, with violent power raging chaotically inside, seemingly about to tear his body apart.

His eyes gradually turned red, unable to hear any sounds around him, only the constant pounding of his own heartbeat, as if it were about to explode.

This is the cost of using Super Grade Martial Arts.

His body was too weak to withstand the powerful force of the Super Grade Martial Arts.

If the operation time was too long, he wouldn’t need his opponent to take action; he would explode and die first.

He roared, knowing time was limited and delaying wasn’t an option, wielding the Golden Saber and charging quickly towards Jiang Shi again.

Jiang Shi took a deep breath, pushing the Red Sun Body Refining Technique to its limit, swinging the Wolf Fang Club and charging forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The clashes continued, and a series of massive sounds kept emanating from between the two.

Waves of terrifying ripples swept wildly in all directions, with Qi Force howling and the sound piercing the ears, shattering many things in all directions.

It was like two terrifying beasts battling each other.

“Father, if the Holy Envoy really gets killed by Jiang Shi, and the Holy Sect holds us accountable, we might not be able to escape responsibility…”

Lu Chengtian’s expression changed constantly, unable to refrain from speaking in a low voice.

Lu Zhongshan’s eyes were deep, and he said:

“The Holy Envoy came to seize power, self-willed and arrogant, killed by his subordinates. What does that have to do with us? We were dismissed by the Holy Envoy and severely injured. Despite our utmost efforts to stop it, the subordinates were overwhelmed with righteous indignation, causing this tragedy. It merely shows the Holy Envoy’s lack of capability, unable to control his subordinates.”

“Will this work?”

Lu Chengtian was anxious.

Such an explanation might not be believed by the higher-ups.

“Whether it will or not, how do we know without trying? We, father and son, have led troops outside for years, which already sparked jealousy among some people. Even without the Holy Envoy seizing power, there would be other matters. I want to tell them that leading troops is not that easy. If they still pursue responsibility relentlessly, then we, father and son, might have no choice but to take a risk.”

Lu Zhongshan said solemnly.

“What do you mean, Father?”

Lu Chengtian’s heart skipped a beat.

Lu Chongtian glanced at him and stopped speaking further.

But his eyes conveyed his meaning clearly.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Continuous impacts, the sound was deafening, and the air currents exploded.

After another series of dozens of clashes, the pain in the Holy Envoy’s body grew more intense, his heartbeat quickened, his eyes became completely blurred, and his vision started to fade.

At the same time, Jiang Shi’s side also experienced stabbing pain in his arms, his tiger’s mouth cracked open, and blood flowed out.

Yet he gritted his teeth and continued swinging the Wolf Fang Club, clashing repeatedly with his opponent.

Each collision made his entire body’s blood surge, causing extreme discomfort, almost unable to hold the Wolf Fang Club.

The movements of both became increasingly fierce and intense.

After colliding for another dozen or so times, suddenly, the Holy Envoy couldn’t bear it any longer. He spat blood and screamed in terror, “My life is over!”

Bang bang bang bang!

He could no longer suppress the rampant force within. His whole body erupted with ear-splitting crackling sounds like popping bamboo joints, with blood mist bursting out and flying in all directions amidst screams.

Then his entire body deflated rapidly at a visible pace, quickly turning into a pile of sludge, collapsing and falling to the ground.
