Chapter 69: Chapter 66 [Supreme Martial Arts]

The game character transformed into a red True Dragon swiftly moved through the murky low clouds, lifted by the mist, reaching Gongsun Ying’s location in just a few breaths.

Xiong De, indeed worthy of being the leader of the Divine Martial Guard, possesses formidable strength unmatched by ordinary martial artists.

Even if Gongsun Ying bursts with energy, she barely manages to confront him, and now Xiong De has formed a military array with numerous Divine Martial Guard soldiers, sharing their Divine Energy. His Divine Energy seems endless, and his Meteor Hammer continually strikes with golden light, forcing Gongsun Ying to retreat step by step.

“Roar~!”

The nearly blackened torrent gathered and rushed towards Xiong De.

Xiong De swung his Meteor Hammer, rapidly enlarging it and smashing the torrent apart, but his movements stalled, falling from the sky.

[Gongsun Ying (surprised): Lin Gongzi, how can you be back?]

[Lin Qianxuan: I came to take you away.]

Gongsun Ying certainly understood his purpose, but she couldn’t believe it.

[Gongsun Ying (smiling bitterly): The Divine Martial Array could bind their Divine Energy into one. Under General Xiong’s command, even ten of me wouldn’t be able to withstand them. Your presence is of no use.]

[Lin Qianxuan: How do you know unless you try?]

“Boom~!”

During the conversation, a Meteor Hammer fell in the background. The game character manipulated the water flow and claws to block it, being directly pushed back tens of meters this time, forming a large trench on the ground, with surrounding buildings and floors collapsing.

Between the game character’s claws, the Scale Armor was damaged, and Dragon Blood flowed down.

“Why is the strength disparity so huge? Wasn’t he weaker before?”

Lin Qianxuan was somewhat uncertain.

Under this strike, the game character couldn’t withstand it.

Earlier, weren’t they evenly matched?

Does adding an array really make them this strong?

“Boom~!”

Another Meteor Hammer.

The game character manipulated the water flow to confront it.

Meanwhile, Gongsun Ying drove the Primordial Spirit, swinging the Long Blade towards it.

“Bang~!”

The Meteor Hammer and Gongsun Ying simultaneously flew backward.

Gongsun Ying’s figure retreated to the side of the game character, her arms trembling somewhat, Divine Energy pulsating under her veins, and her skin exuded blood marks.

This time, she prolonged her energy burst excessively.

Although her limbs were replaced with Blood and Flesh Armor Body, most of the torso below her neck remained a flesh body, now especially the internal organs, were severely damaged.

[Gongsun Ying (solemn expression): Lin Gongzi, I’ll hold them off for a moment. You should take advantage to escape. With your speed, you should easily flee, and then lead Yue’Er and others to end this disaster, please, consider it as my request…]

The screen froze on Gongsun Ying’s firm and solemn expression, affecting Lin Qianxuan slightly.

He suppressed the urge to take out the Spirit Talisman.

He pursed his lips; the strategy rating was still short by five percent.

At this moment, this opportunity was perfect.

At this critical juncture of life, Gongsun Ying had decided to shed all responsibilities and face death.

The last obstacle obstructing her romance was nearly shattered.

With the display of broad shoulders, a figure capable of shielding her from storm, everything would naturally follow.

It’s time to showcase those accumulated strategy skills.

(Transformed into human, standing side by side with Gongsun Ying.)

[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): If we must leave, we leave together.]

[Gongsun Ying (nervously looking at you): Lin Gongzi… please think of the greater good!]

“Boom~!”

Another Meteor Hammer fell.

Before this, Lin Qianxuan typed the last line.

[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): Miss Ying, to me, you are my greater good!!!]

Just like his previous explanation to Gongsun Yue, this sentence was personally spoken to Gongsun Ying.

The water flowed to wash over the Meteor Hammer, and Gongsun Ying’s blade sharply executed a strike.

Additionally, the game character launched a Profound Light Art as thick as an arm.

The Meteor Hammer’s advance slowed, and the two swiftly escaped.

“Bang~!”

The Meteor Hammer hit the ground, causing stones to shatter numerous.

[Gongsun Ying (face slightly red): What nonsense are you saying! Hurry up and leave!!!]

[Lin Qianxuan (standing in front of Gongsun Ying, spoke firmly): Miss Ying, from now on, entrust everything to me!]

The Meteor Hammer fell, and under Lin Qianxuan’s directive, the game character confronted it with full force.

Its claws transformed into Dragon Hands, entwined with water flow, Spirit Art deploys, Divine Energy infused, simultaneously becoming immensely thick, bursting with terrifying might.

[Gongsun Ying (somewhat bewildered): You’re crazy!!]

“Bang~!”

The game character did not move, its feet transformed into Dragon Claws, causing the ground to crack, surprisingly blocking the massive Meteor Hammer above its head.

Of course, the cost was the major damage to game character’s claws, while also suffering from the immense impact.

Rather than dissipating force, facing it head-on in pretentious manner naturally leads to injury.

Such attacks, resist just twice more, and the game character might have to proclaim GG on the spot.

[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): I already said, leave it to me.]

[Between life and death, the promise you made deeply touched Gongsun Ying’s heart.]

[Gongsun Ying’s current String of Destiny connection reached 100%.]

[Hint: You obtained a Sound Talisman [War Frenzy].]

[War Frenzy: The combat will you possess allows you to fight longer. (Divine Energy consumption reduced by 50%.)]

A Sound Talisman flew and landed within the name of Gongsun Ying at the screen’s top right corner.

Background music resonated, an elevated tempo similar to battlefield drums, accompanied by various swift and stirring orchestral pieces.

The backdrop screen at this moment began shifting with the music.

It depicted Gongsun Ying showing fierce gaze, wielding Long Blade fighting off numerous murky spirits.

Her Divine Energy seemed endless, surrounded already by murky spirit bodies, yet she continued swinging her blade.

[Tip: Gongsun Ying’s information updated, accessible via String of Destiny.]

[Tip: All Sound Talismans for Gongsun Ying collected, score [Supreme Martial Arts] composed, playable via String of Destiny.]

“Success!!!”

Lin Qianxuan looked delighted.

The strategy difficulty for Gongsun Ying was genuinely high.

Chen Long’Er only needed some sweet talk, while on Gongsun Ying’s side, not only did she accompany her in fighting monsters all the way, but she also needed to be in a life-threatening battlefield environment and make solemn promises to completely win her over.

Fortunately, it worked.

Next, it depends on what kind of enhancement the Sound of Destiny on Gongsun Ying’s side will provide.

Lin Qianxuan clicked on Gongsun Ying’s name and found her last memory [Divine Strategy Body].

With a click of the mouse, the background changed.

It was the scene where Gongsun Ying found Gongsun Yue to help her replace her original limbs.

[The limitation of the flesh is too great for me, unable to fully exert the power of Divine Energy. Yue’Er, please modify me into an Armor Body…]

[Sister, how can this be? Aren’t you refining your body too? With your talent, at most ten years, no, five years…]

[There’s no time. The efficiency of the flesh in absorbing Divine Energy is too low. At most, there’s only two years before the turbid energy will completely cover everything. I can’t wait until then. I need to grasp more power before that.]

Gongsun Yue remained silent for a long while before finally compromising.

[I haven’t mastered the technology for fully replacing the body, but I can at most replace your limbs.]

[That’s enough, I’m counting on you, Yue’Er.]

Her tone was very calm, as if it wasn’t her own limbs that were going to be replaced.

The background changed back, and Lin Qianxuan’s gaze fell on the sheet music titled [Supreme Martial Arts].

Hovering the mouse over it, a piece of information was revealed.

[Supreme Martial Arts: The connection between the Endless Divine Sea and the Alternate Space Universe is enhanced, the passage permanently opened, and increases the efficacy by 1000% when using Divine Energy Martial Arts. (Note: The pinnacle of martial arts is strength alone.)]

[Prompt: Do you want to perform the current sheet music to obtain the Sound of Destiny?]

[Yes], [No].

Just as simple and direct as before with [Dragon Heart].

Permanently opening the passage to the Endless Divine Sea, increasing the efficacy of Divine Energy Martial Arts tenfold.

Apart from numbers, nothing else mattered.

Lin Qianxuan smiled.

This was exactly what he wanted.

So he slowly clicked the [Yes] option.

The next moment, countless red strings crisscrossed and intertwined on the screen, causing the image to shake.

The intense beat of drums combined with the sound of horns echoed, as if on a battlefield, the passionate music blared from the headphones.

[The power of the Sound of Destiny has completely opened the connection between your Purple Mansion and that Alternate Space, an endless stream of Divine Energy pours out, you now have unlimited Divine Energy.]

[You can feel it, the Divine Energy within you has undergone some changes, and the Divine Energy you release will now possess much greater power under the enhancement of the Sound of Destiny.]

“Now this is called the Endless Divine Sea!”

Lin Qianxuan tapped the keyboard, typing a single word.

(Fight!)

A single word was enough to let the game character understand his intention.

No, they were essentially the same person.

Just in different time and space.

In an instant, the screen turned black and white, the Eyes of Death were fully activated by the game character.

This talent that originally required a vast amount of Divine Energy to maintain, could now be used as a normal skill all day under the enhancement of the Endless Divine Sea.

Although the talent sharing with Gongsun Yue was only over fifty percent, it was already enough for the game character to see the Death Marks on the Divine Martial Guard and Xiong De.

In the game screen, under the augmentation of the battle array, Xiong De swung his hammer towards the game character once more.

This time, the game character didn’t choose to confront head-on.

A burst of light suddenly appeared under his feet.

The brilliance was so dazzling that it illuminated half of the city.

[Rising Sun Stepping Technique].

This Martial Technique had long been learned by the game character, but he rarely used it in battle.

It wasn’t because of a lack of Divine Energy.

With Gongsun Ying’s talent shared, he could even sustain Eyes of Death for a few minutes, so despite the high consumption of this Body Technique, it was manageable.

The main reason was that the flight enhanced by Water Manipulation was already sufficient.

Another reason was his lack of skill proficiency; it was hard to integrate it into his current system, and using it alone seemed inadequate.

But now, the situation was different.

With the tenfold enhancement of [Supreme Martial Arts], the game character’s Divine Martial Skills were strengthened tenfold.

The strength in such matters, just a bit stronger, is overwhelmingly strong.

Tenfold enhancement?

“Boom~!”

With an explosive sound of Divine Energy, the game character in the screen almost instantly closed in on Xiong De, the speed, as Lin Qianxuan roughly estimated, was surely more than four times the speed of sound?

Then a trace of red light appeared on his fist, scale armor covered, and a punch was thrown.

This punch was a Martial Technique called [Immortal Divine Fist] from “Immortal Divine Body Skill”.

The name sounds nice, but in reality, it’s the simplest technique of condensing and attaching Divine Energy on the fist, then striking the target.

“Boom~!”

Xiong De was hit by a punch, his figure flew straight out, the Shield Armor on him shattered unknown to what extent, the golden light dimmed by three points.

Under normal circumstances, this punch naturally wouldn’t be so powerful.

But don’t forget the enhancement from the Eyes of Death.

The game character’s punch was precisely targeting the Death Mark on Xiong De’s Shield Armor.

Simply put, striking the weak point.

Xiong De was in mid-air, the game character’s figure continued, with the condensing of Divine Energy under his feet, the great sun glowing, chasing after in pursuit.

Another powerful punch followed.

Under the Dragon Fist, Xiong De was blasted away once more.

Before he could react, the game character unleashed yet another fierce punch.

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~!”

A barrage of eight punches, delivering eight consecutive strikes of such intensity with the Rising Sun Stepping Technique.

Under normal circumstances, the game character’s Divine Energy would have long been depleted, but now, he declared it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

And under these eight punches, Xiong De’s unbreakable carapace finally shattered completely.

“Crack~!”

The game character did not hesitate at all, the great sun under his feet bloomed once more, a stream of water condensed into a blade in his palm, and his figure instantly swept past Xiong De.

“Puff~!”

Xiong De’s head was directly separated from his body, and his corpse plummeted from the air.
