Chapter 52 - 49: Level 7!

Chapter 52: Chapter 49: Level 7!

Wang Xu was not unaffected by the poison; after the Bone-Eroding Poison invaded his body, he too was utterly powerless, but the presence of the Mysterious Flame allowed Wang Xu to swiftly recover.

"Hmph! Just a mere Tier Six ant, so what if you’re not poisoned, I will still kill you!" Thousand Poison Hand’s eyes flashed, as he reached out his big hand towards Wang Xu.

Tier Six, he had countless Tier Six underlings, killing such an ant was a piece of cake.

Wang Xu’s expression turned grave; although Thousand Poison Hand was arrogant, he indeed possessed true Tier Eight strength. Even if Wang Xu could detoxify himself, he still faced the daunting challenge of a two-tier gap.

Immediately, Wang Xu’s longsword met the attack head-on!

"Crack!" As the longsword collided with the hand, a cracking sound emerged. Thousand Poison Hand felt the immense force transmitted through the sword, his face stiffened.

Wang Xu pulled back the longsword, only to see a thin layer of human skin armor appear on Thousand Poison Hand’s hand—an S-Level glove in the form of human skin.

"Hmph! Indeed formidable, the Black Eye Battle Group indeed lives up to its reputation, not only passing the Willow Demon but even a mere Tier Six has such terrifying force, I underestimated you!" Thousand Poison Hand sneered coldly and said.

"Less nonsense!" Wang Xu shouted heroically, wielding the longsword high.

Ninth Column: Nine Transition Thunder Saber!

Thousand Poison Hand flicked his fingers, releasing small steel beads. Seeing this, Wang Xu set the blade before him, and as the beads collided with the blade, they exploded into a toxic mist.

The Mysterious Flame within Wang Xu’s body continuously devoured the Bone-Eroding Poison in the air; this mist was naturally insignificant, its effects never even activating before being completely consumed by the Mysterious Flame.

Thousand Poison Hand’s heart skipped a beat; his most proficient poison had no effect on Wang Xu whatsoever.

Wang Xu’s figure flashed repeatedly, stepping with mysterious footwork to approach rapidly, the longsword in his hand consistently stabbing at Thousand Poison Hand, forcing him to retreat with each mighty thrust.

"Sword Thunder Shadow!"

Suddenly, as if the air froze for an instant, Thousand Poison Hand just raised his hand to fend off Wang Xu’s strike, only to realize the speed of the longsword was unprecedented.

"Crack, crack~~" The longsword pierced through Thousand Poison Hand’s hand, striking his chest, throwing him backward, as his internal organs violently vibrated, he could not help but spew a mouthful of blood.

The S-Level armor on him completely shattered.

Thousand Poison Hand’s face finally changed, this Tier Six individual could shatter his S-Level armor with a single strike, and the force transmitted through could still injure him, was this Tier Six strength?!

After Wang Xu advanced to Tier Six, his power doubled, his Basic Fist Power reaching at least thirty thousand kilograms. The exert force level of the "Nine-Column Thunder Saber" was 2.0, bursting out sixty thousand kilograms in an instant, and the exert force level of "Sword Romance" reached 3.0, directly achieving ninety thousand kilograms!

Even Thousand Poison Hand’s robust Tier Eight body could not withstand such terrifying force!

When Wang Xu dealt with Lei Beng, the saber had merely exhausted the durability of his S-Level armor, but this time it shattered directly, doubling the force, and Lei Beng was only Tier Seven in body, Thousand Poison Hand was Tier Eight, a huge gap between one tier in physique.

Seeing Thousand Poison Hand only slightly injured, Wang Xu couldn’t help but sigh secretly, Tier Eight is indeed hard to tackle.

He only needed one strike to deal with Tier Seven, completely shattering Lei Beng, but now, even with increased power, he couldn’t finish Tier Eight in one strike, highlighting the gap between Tier Eight and Tier Seven.

With success in one strike, Wang Xu surged forward again, the longsword in his hand struck continuously!

Thousand Poison Hand was forced into defense, inadvertently releasing various toxic mists, yet all the toxins seemed ineffective, Wang Xu remained lively and vigorous, with greater force in his hands.

Thousand Poison Hand bitterly lamented; today, he indeed hit a hard wall, and it’s a Tier Six wall at that!

"If you stop now, I can let you leave, I mean it!" Thousand Poison Hand had to concede, Wang Xu was too overpowering, none of his proud toxins had any effect.

Wang Xu fought with great enthusiasm; the more Thousand Poison Hand used poison, the more fervently the Mysterious Flame devoured it, directly converting the poison into his strength, keeping him always energetic.

Thousand Poison Hand begged for mercy; Wang Xu could hear it clearly but paid no heed. Begging proved he was at the end of his strength, so he must take advantage when he is weak to take his life!

Wang Xu’s assault grew fiercer, leaving the Black Eye Battle Group dumbfounded.

Tier Six suppressing Tier Eight in combat?

Forgive their ignorance, as they’d never seen such a spectacular sight in their lifetimes.

God of Slaughter’s expression turned unnatural; he was a genius, a Tier Nine Peak expert, yet got saved by a Tier Six student, a sheer insult to the God of Slaughter.

"Damn it! If you don’t stop now, I’ll drag you all down to die together!" Thousand Poison Hand shouted in fury.

He removed the human skin glove, revealing a hideous, tumor-laden hand.

"For years, I’ve used this hand as a test subject, soaked in countless toxins. Now, this hand is a biochemical bomb. Once it explodes, no one within a ten-mile radius will survive." Thousand Poison Hand raved, "So what if you’re not afraid of toxin? I don’t believe they aren’t!"

The crowd turned pale upon hearing this.

Thousand Poison Hand was too insane, using his own hand as a test subject, once he goes berserk and detonates his hand, their lives would truly be in jeopardy.

"Really? Then go ahead and detonate." As soon as the words dropped, Wang Xu dashed forward violently, slashing out Sword Thunder Shadow again.

The blade at ultimate speed landed on Thousand Poison Hand’s wrist, neatly severing it.

However, Thousand Poison Hand did not howl or scream; instead, he grabbed the severed hand, opened his mouth, and bit down on the tumor-laden hand!

The poisonous hand oozed, the numerous tumors began to swell, a violent aura brewing madly!

Wang Xu’s face changed drastically, slashing out once more, this time sweeping across Thousand Poison Hand’s neck.

"Puff!" Thousand Poison Hand’s head flew off, face still bearing a frenzied, bloodthirsty expression.

Wang Xu grabbed the swelling hand, exploded with ultimate speed, and dashed out fiercely!

Speed rose to the physical limit, Wang Xu ran for his life, and in just a blink, Wang Xu had reached several hundred meters away, while the tumor-laden hand continued growing larger, resembling a soccer ball...

Bang!

With a booming sound echoing skyward, it erupted in the desert outside Demon’s Forest.

"Wang... won’t Wang Xu be alright?" Dao Jian cautiously asked.

"I trust Brother Wang Xu, he will be fine," Yan Cheng said earnestly.

God of Slaughter gazed at the cloud formed by the explosion, his eyes complex.

At the same time, Wang Xu sat cross-legged at the center of the explosion, his body reaching an unprecedented state of energy!

This toxic mist was too strong, containing immense energy. Once the Mysterious Flame devoured it, it converted into Wang Xu’s body; Wang Xu immediately sat cross-legged, ready to use this toxic mist to break through.

A moment later...

Late Stage Tier Six!

Wang Xu broke through from Middle Stage to Late Stage Tier Six, having consumed enormous energy, and it wasn’t over yet; the outside toxic mist had not dispersed. The Mysterious Flame was devouring madly, constantly filling Wang Xu’s body with energy.

Peak Tier Six!

In one go, Wang Xu reached Peak Tier Six, continuing to push towards Tier Seven.

Tier Seven was a huge watershed compared to Tier Six, several times harder than progressing from Tier Five to Tier Six, but now the energy was endless. Relying on his natural advantage, Wang Xu made a vigorous push towards Tier Seven!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

Energy washed over, cells devoured, muscles transformed, and Wang Xu’s body underwent dramatic changes.

At the same time, his Energy Core also absorbed energy, with a significant portion of the toxic mist’s energy, yet it only absorbed part, scattering explosively, before reconverging.

Wang Xu did not bother about the Energy Core, concentrating solely on seizing this opportunity to hit Tier Seven.

Time quietly passed, and the toxic mist was no longer as dense as before.

Finally, as the toxic mist was about to disperse completely, Wang Xu’s aura soared dramatically, an alarming aura spreading!

Tier Seven!

Wang Xu smiled, silently thanking Thousand Poison Hand. If not for his tumor-laden hand exploding, releasing such massive toxic mist, he had no idea how long it would have taken him to ascend to Tier Seven.

(Used to Chapters around three thousand characters, wrote over three thousand in one go, and forcibly split it into two Chapters to post, feeling so insincere. Should I change my stance, start over?)
