Chapter 568: 564

By the time the Five Poison True Qi had dissipated, not a single living creature could be seen in the area it had enveloped; there wasn’t even a body left, just puddles of blood covering the ground, emitting a stench so foul that it made one shiver uncontrollably.

Some martial artists, who had managed to dodge in time, looked on in terror. They no longer possessed the courage to advance, not even the courage to confront Lu Tianxing.

"Boy, it seems I underestimated you."

Liu Ang, appearing from nowhere, looked at Lu Tianxing with a grim expression. The broken blade he was holding, however, betrayed an undeniable fear. He realized that opposing Lu Tianxing might have been the biggest mistake of his life, but now the arrow was on the bowstring and he had no choice but to shoot.

"Elder Liu, it’s all up to you this time. We must not let him leave here alive, no matter what," said the broken blade, trembling with fear. He could only pin all his hopes on Liu Ang now.

"Young Master, rest assured, he won’t escape."

Liu Ang’s gaze, cold and ruthless, flickered as he watched Lu Tianxing, who was still at the Peak of the Heavenly Level, not yet a match for his own Mid-stage Mythical prowess. If Lu Tianxing was allowed to eventually enter the Mythical Realm and greatly increase his strength, Liu Ang feared he might end up killed by Lu Tianxing’s hands.

Lu Tianxing could not be spared under any circumstances; he had to ensure that Lu Tianxing stayed here today, even if it meant killing him. A genius was far more terrifying than a strong opponent because a genius possessed the capacity for limitless growth.

"Kill me? Let’s see if you have the strength," retorted Lu Tianxing, his eyes suddenly turning frosty. The ground exploded as he soared into the sky, reached out his hand, and the Iron Blood Battle Halberd appeared, instantly slashing towards Liu Ang.

"Body of the Five Poisons."

Liu Ang’s True Qi surged, and astonishingly, a thick layer of armor condensed around his body. This armor, black as ink, flowed continuously like water, emitting a strong fishy smell laced with traces of potent poison.

This exemplified the ingenuity of the Five Poison Technique, utilizing various intense poisons over time to cultivate True Qi. Although the process was excruciating, once successful, the True Qi would carry a strong poison, lethal upon contact.

Liu Ang had clearly refined the Five Poison True Qi to an exceedingly profound level, his condensed armor also laden with deadly poison.

"Swoosh!"

With a flick of his finger, Liu Ang produced a whip that resembled a python. With a movement of his arm, the whip, like a giant python, silently swept towards Lu Tianxing’s chest.

"Bring it on."

Instead of retreating, Lu Tianxing advanced, his eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit. He swung the Iron Blood Battle Halberd, directly sweeping it toward the whip.

"Bang!"

The whip fiercely struck the Iron Blood Battle Halberd, instantly transferring a terrifying force that numbed Lu Tianxing’s arm, nearly causing him to drop his weapon.

"Such immense power; Liu Ang’s strength must definitely be at the Peak of Mid-stage Mythical, just one step away from breaking through to the Peak of the Mythical Realm. No wonder the broken blade was confident. Good, this is fine, it can sharpen me and help me ascend to the Mythical Realm," thought Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing’s figure retreated over ten meters before he managed to dispel the force transmitted by the whip. His gaze fixed on Liu Ang, sparks of determination flickering in his eyes.

His strength had hit a plateau already; the battles with Gale and Sima Ling Yun had allowed him to almost grasp the threshold of the Mythical Realm. All he needed was an opportunity to break through, and Liu Ang’s pressure could be precisely what was needed.

With determination sparkling in his eyes, a soaring battle intent radiated from Lu Tianxing. The Iron Blood Battle Halberd lunged repeatedly, fending off Liu Ang’s attacks. With each clash, Lu Tianxing felt an unparalleled force sweep over him, threatening to crush every bone in his body.

"Kid, you’re no match for me. I admit you’re a genius, but a gap is still a gap. I’ll give you a chance: hand over the cultivation technique you practice, and I’ll grant you a quick death as a favor," Liu Ang said as he moved swiftly, his figure soaring into the sky, the Python Dragon Whip in his hands turning into a series of afterimages, transforming into raging Jiao Dragons as they viciously struck at Lu Tianxing.

"You think you are worthy to demand my technique? How about you hand over the Five Poison Technique to me instead? Maybe I’ll show mercy by not killing you and just crippling your martial arts so you can go home and retire peacefully," Lu Tianxing retorted boldly, his eyes alight with overwhelming combat spirit. This was the battle he sought, a real fight where breakthroughs come in the midst of life-and-death crises. With Bai Zhiqing in danger and a mysterious Heavenly God lurking, he had to hurry and enhance his own power.

Liu Ang’s savage power surged like tides, each wave carrying ferocious momentum that made Lu Tianxing feel like a leaf in the ocean, potentially torn to shreds at any moment.

He was after all not a Martial Artist of the Mythical Realm, merely at the Heavenly Peak. No matter how miraculous the Creation Source Technique was, it was still extremely difficult for him to leap across two realms to kill Liu Ang. This was the terrifying aspect of the Mythical Realm; each advancement in realm could drastically change one’s strength. Even Ye Lang, in the hands of Liu Ang, probably wouldn’t last long.

Not entering the Mythical Realm, one is ultimately an insect; this saying was no mere idiom. Once you step into this realm, your power would undergo a drastic transformation.

"Hammer the Heavens, Shatter the Earth."

Liu Ang let out a loud roar, grabbed with a huge hand, and the wild true Qi he summoned caused a cataclysmic upheaval, forging a momentum that flipped rivers and seas. The true Qi turned into a giant hammer, and wherever it landed, rocks shattered and turned into dust, as if a colossal deity was wielding the hammer, intending to pierce through the earth itself.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The hammer strikes fell upon Lu Tianxing’s body.

The Creation God Tripod formed by his true Qi atop his head trembled, showing layers of cracks while his True Qi was being depleted massively.

"Huff, huff!"

Lu Tianxing gasped heavily, feeling an unprecedented sense of fatigue surging over him, along with a thick impending sense of death. This method of breakthrough was nothing less than dancing on a knife’s edge.

"Elder Liu, he can’t hold on any longer. Catch him, catch him for me. Hahaha, Lu Tianxing, I told you, you won’t escape today. There’s a path to Heaven yet you refuse; there’s no door to Hell yet you burst in. I will torture you, I intend to make your life worse than death, hahaha..."

Upon seeing this scene, Duandian burst into laughter, standing there expectantly. Soon, he was about to obtain Lu Tianxing’s cultivation technique, and it wouldn’t be long before he took control of the Yanhuang Group. Sima Lingyun and everyone else did not matter to him anymore.

"This is the feeling I need, the crisis between life and death, just a bit more, I’m about to break through."

Lu Tianxing roared in his heart, his expression calm and composed, standing still as if he was immovable, allowing Liu Ang’s fearsome attacks to fall on his own body.

The crisis between life and death was the best way to breakthrough. The reason he had been able to advance to Heavenly Peak in such a short time was not because his talent was incredibly extraordinary, but because his breakthroughs had all been exchanged with life-and-death crises.

Lu Tianxing vividly remembered the moment he broke through to the Mystic Level Realm; he was facing a dozen mercenaries aiming to kill him. The barrage of bullets could have torn him apart anytime. Although he broke through that battle, he was severely injured and laid in bed for three months before he recovered.

Now, Lu Tianxing was using Liu Ang to breakthrough to the Mythical Realm. A battle between life and death was the fastest way to grow stronger. This was also why the Yanhuang Group trained geniuses but sent them out on missions; only a genius refined through life and death is a true genius, "As the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitterness of cold, a sword’s edge comes from the grinding stone," and that was the philosophy behind it.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, intense rumbling sounds erupted inside Lu Tianxing’s body, like roaring river waters within him. Under Liu Ang’s repeated ferocious attacks, his True Qi finally underwent a qualitative change at this moment.

"No good, this kid is actually trying to use me to break through to the Mythical Realm level. No, I absolutely can’t let him succeed. Once he breaks through, keeping him here won’t be an easy task."

Feeling Lu Tianxing’s aura growing stronger, Liu Ang’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected Lu Tianxing to opt for a desperate tactic, aiming to use him to break through to the Mythical Realm.

"Kill!"

Liu Ang roared sharply, his voice piercing, as the Five Poison True Qi continuously surged into the void. The True Qi condensed hammer instantly became more solid, as if it truly existed, emitting a dense poisonous aura and hammering down with mountain-splitting force onto Lu Tianxing.

With this strike, he was about to smash Lu Tianxing into a pulp.

The ferocious power spread in the void, and before the hammer had even fallen, Lu Tianxing already felt a heart-palpitating force bearing down on him. His bones seemed to shatter under this force, making cracking sounds as if they were about to break apart.

"I can’t withstand it. If this move hits me, even if I’m lucky enough not to die, I’ll probably be severely injured."

Lu Tianxing’s expression drastically changed. He felt that Liu Ang was now exerting his full strength. This strike was more than enough to end his life.

"No, I can’t dodge. If I dodge now, all my efforts will be in vain, and who knows when I’ll have the chance to break through to the Mythical Realm level again?"

Lu Tianxing roared inside, not dodging or avoiding, letting the giant hammer strike down from the sky. His Creation True Qi rapidly circulated at an extreme speed throughout his body, merging into every part of his body. His organs underwent drastic changes, his heart beating more and more intensely; each thump resonated like a heavenly drum, whipping up gales around him. With each beat, it spread outward, lifting mounds of dust with each pulse.
