Chapter 48 Shi Lei's Escape!
Su Mu remained silent until Shi Lei finished speaking before slowly opening his mouth:
"I'm very curious, who exactly are you?"
Judging from all the signs, Shi Lei is not as simple as he seems. Neither Chi Lian beside him nor the unconscious woman in purple are ordinary people. They are all grandmaster-level experts!
Moreover, Shi Lei never revealed his identity from beginning to end, which is what Su Mu is curious about. Apart from his own strength, he must have another identity that makes a Grandmaster-level expert risk his life for him!
"You talk too much!"
Shi Lei's face suddenly turned fierce. After he finished speaking, his blood energy surged wildly, several times stronger than before. He had clearly given up testing him and was determined to kill him.
Chi Lian moved in sync with the movement, her red robes fluttering wildly, her soft sword gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light, and her figure once again transformed into a ghostly afterimage.
In an instant, the blood and energy inside the room intertwined and collided, the vibrating air emitted a sharp whistling sound, and fragments of tables and chairs were blown into the air by the shockwave.
Just as the two attacks were about to reach him, Su Mu touched the ground with his toes, his figure suddenly became ethereal, and he used the Ape Play: Thousand Illusions Flash!
His figure moved like a nimble ape in the wind, elusive and unpredictable, instantly dodging the combined attack of Shi Lei's Blood Fiend Claw and Chi Lian's soft sword.
"Azure Mist Locks the Sky!"
Before the two could change their moves, Su Mu threw the Qingfeng Sword at his waist. The sword, imbued with the power of a sixth-level Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, shot straight at Shi Lei's face like a meteor, forcing him to hastily parry with his claws.
At the same time, Su Mu gathered all his spiritual energy into his right fist, and the fist wind surged with the sound of a tiger's roar, which was the Tiger Playing - Roaring Moon Mountain Splitting Fist!
"break!"
boom--
The fist, carrying the force to shatter mountains and split rocks, slammed into Chi Lian, the fierce wind of the punch stinging her skin.
Chi Lian's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly swung her sword to block, but the moment the soft sword collided with the fist, a crisp cracking sound rang out. The soft sword was actually shaken by the force of the fist, causing several cracks to appear. She was hit hard and flew backward, crashing into the wall. She spat out a mouthful of blood, fainted, and lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Shi Lei's eyes widened in fury, and his bloodthirsty claw shadows coalesced once more. However, Su Mu closed in, his fist shadows pouncing like a tiger on its prey. "Damn it! Old man, I underestimated you!"
At this moment, Shi Lei's bloodthirsty aura grew even stronger, faintly condensing into a tangible blood armor that enveloped his body.
He stomped his foot hard on the ground, shattering the floor tiles. Bloodthirsty claw shadows, accompanied by a foul wind, rushed straight at Su Mu, each move ruthless and completely disregarding defense.
"Bloodthirsty Demon Claws!"
Su Mu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly moved, his figure leaping through the air, instantly closing in on Shi Lei and grabbing the Qingfeng Sword that Shi Lei had blocked and dropped.
The moment his fingertips gripped the hilt of the sword, all the spiritual energy of the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm was poured into the sword, and the sword shone with a bright white light in the dimly lit room!
"Azure Mango Breaks Through the Barrier!"
Su Mu let out a low shout, and the sword light surged three feet, slashing straight down.
Shi Lei's expression changed drastically. He hastily withdrew his claws and went back to defend, his bloodthirsty aura condensing into a shield.
"clang!"
The sword light collided with the blood shield, sparks flew everywhere, and cracks appeared in the blood shield. Shi Lei was shaken and had to retreat repeatedly, his hands and feet going numb.
He hadn't expected that Su Mu not only had unpredictable footwork and fierce fist techniques, but also such exquisite swordsmanship.
Su Mu pressed his advantage relentlessly, following closely behind. His Qingfeng sword unleashed a series of sword flowers, and he unleashed a barrage of Qingyuan Sword Technique moves. The sword light poured down like a torrential rain, blocking all of Shi Lei's escape routes.
Shi Lei gritted his teeth and endured the attack. The Blood Fiend Claw and the Azure Edge Sword clashed repeatedly. Each clash caused his blood and qi to surge, his old injuries to flare up, and blood to keep flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it! You old bastard, you forced me to do this! Blood Shadow Transformation!"
"I want you dead!"
Suddenly.
He let out a sudden, deep shout, his blood energy ignited, and he spared no effort to expend his own power to unleash a killing move. His blood-fiend energy transformed into dozens of claw shadows, overwhelming Su Mu and attacking him relentlessly.
"Too slow!"
Su Mu paused, his wrist flicked, and the Qingfeng sword drew a perfect arc. The shimmering white sword light condensed into a shield, and at the same time, the sword's momentum suddenly increased. It pierced through the torrent of claw shadows and headed straight for Shi Lei's heart. It was fast, accurate, and ruthless, giving him no chance to breathe.
"What?"
Shi Lei's pupils suddenly narrowed. Seeing that he could not avoid it, he immediately abandoned the secret technique, took out a compass from his bosom, bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, using his own life force to activate the compass!
This compass is entirely blood-red, about the size of a palm, with black patterns engraved on it, a dark red crystal embedded in the center, and copper bells adorning the edge.
The moment the blood essence splashed onto the compass, the crystal burst forth with a dark red halo, and layers of light curtains spread from the compass, forming a thick defensive shield.
boom!
The Qingfeng sword pierced the light barrier, a buzzing sound echoing throughout the house. The light barrier trembled violently, and cracks spread like a spider web.
Although the compass was a defensive magic artifact, it could not withstand Su Mu's full-force attack and the enhancement from his immortal bones. In an instant, the light barrier shattered, the compass exploded into fragments, and the remaining force slammed into Shi Lei's chest.
"puff--"
Shi Lei spat out a mouthful of blood, his armor shattered, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Knowing he was no match for him, he stopped fighting and staggered toward the window after landing. Before leaving, he turned back and glared at Su Mu, his eyes full of resentment: "I will remember what happened today!"
Su Mu, you just wait!
Before he could finish speaking...
He had already climbed out of the window and fled into the shadows of the streets, leaving behind only a lingering trace of bloodthirsty aura.
Su Mu watched the direction Shi Lei fled in, but did not give chase. He stood still with his sword in hand, a flash of inspiration in his eyes. His spiritual eye quietly opened, and his pale golden gaze pierced through the window, scanning the depths of the streets and alleys.
Only after confirming that Shi Lei's aura had completely disappeared into the distance, with no sign of returning, did he slowly withdraw his spiritual eyes.
The next moment, Su Mu felt a sudden sweetness in his chest, and he could no longer suppress the surging blood and qi. A mouthful of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and dripped down his chin onto his clothes.
He staggered a step, barely managing to steady himself by supporting himself with the Qingfeng Sword with one hand. The shimmering white spiritual energy around him instantly became chaotic, and his aura at the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm fluctuated wildly, making him appear exceptionally adrift.
He had just performed the Monkey Play and Tiger Play techniques beyond his capacity, and then used the Azure Origin Sword Technique at full power. Although he won decisively, it also caused internal injuries.
Su Mu raised his hand to wipe away the bloodstains, his brows furrowed. He looked inside his body and saw that although his meridians were clear, there were slight cracks, and his immortal energy was also slightly stagnant.
He suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, and his breathing gradually calmed down, but he could not hide the exhaustion in his eyes.
If this internal injury is not treated in time, it may affect the stability of his future cultivation. Moreover, Shi Lei's escape is like a sword hanging over his head, making him dare not relax for even a moment...
But right now, there are still things to be resolved!
Immediately.
Su Mu turned around, approached Chi Lian with his sword in hand, glanced at her exquisite and alluring figure, his eyes showing no mercy, and slashed down with his sword!
But at that moment, the woman in purple, who had been unconscious until now, took advantage of Su Mu's unpreparedness and quietly attacked from behind!
however.
She underestimated Su Mu's vigilance. Before she could succeed, Su Mu suddenly spun his sword and slashed backward!
scoff!
Blood splattered—
Su Mu would never show mercy to his enemies, and the same goes for women!
