I long to return home!

On the battlefield, Xue Wu and Zhao Daniu fought fiercely like two lightning bolts. Zhao Daniu unleashed all his killing moves, determined to make Xue Wu pay with his life for the lives of his two younger brothers.

The collision of true energy boomed like thunder, and the resulting shockwaves shook the surrounding area like a storm. Disciples from various sects stopped fighting and watched the battle between these masters as if it were a show.

Even Xu Tao and Han Sen, who were in the middle of a heated fight, were intimidated by the shockwave and couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

"There's another expert here. This trip to Hundred Weapons Valley has truly been worthwhile. After I kill you, I'll definitely have to meet this person." Han Sen was overjoyed, his eyes gleaming with excitement, like a hunter spotting his prey. He then grabbed his spear and engaged Xu Tao in battle once more.

"Enough with the nonsense, today I will surely sever your head to appease the disciples of my Falling Cloud Sect." Although Xu Tao was slightly tired, his combat power had not diminished in the slightest. Every sword strike was filled with killing intent, like a ferocious beast.

...

Xue Wu and Zhao Daniu exchanged blows, their punches landing squarely on each other. Zhao Daniu had a slight advantage thanks to his muscular build, but as the match progressed, the true strength of both sides became apparent. How could someone at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining defeat someone at the fourteenth level of Qi Refining in terms of cultivation?

Xue Wu went into a frenzy, parrying every move and delivering each punch imbued with true qi, each one landing squarely on Zhao Daniu's body. His entire body seemed devoid of pain, and the speed of each punch did not decrease; on the contrary, each punch was stronger than the last.

Zhao Daniu frowned deeply; he was currently fighting against the pain in his body.

This kid looks so frail, how come he's so tough?

Zhao Daniu gritted his teeth and barely managed to block Xue Wu's heavy punch. He grabbed Xue Wu's arm in pain and then slammed a punch imbued with earth energy into Xue Wu's head.

The heavy punch landed with a click, and Xue Wu stood there motionless. Zhao Daniu paused for a moment before moving his fist away, and Xue Wu remained there, his neck tilted to the side, completely still.

Zhao Erniu believed that his fatal punch had landed squarely on the opponent's head. Even if the opponent survived by chance, he would have no power to resist and could only obediently wait for death.

The crowd stared in astonishment. With that powerful punch, the opponent was certain to die, with no chance of survival.

Jin Lingjiao was extremely anxious and wanted to go over to check, but Lei Mengying stopped her. To protect Chengruo, she could not break her promise even if the other party died, but she still sighed with regret.

Suddenly, Xue Wu coughed, a soft cough that drew surprised glances from everyone who heard it.

Zhao Daniu looked at Xue Wu in disbelief, but did not hesitate. The hatred for killing his brother was irreconcilable, and he immediately threw another punch.

Everyone was taken aback. If they had survived the previous punch by sheer luck, there was no room for luck with this one.

To everyone's surprise, Xue Wu caught the falling punch firmly. Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, he shook his head, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Daniu with a fierce and crazed expression, clearly uttering four words.

"It's my turn now."

He remembered everything. The memory of brutally killing Long Yu a year ago came flooding back after this punch. His pupils turned pitch black, and he lost himself. The image of tearing the man to pieces kept echoing in his mind.

In an instant, he twisted the hand that had been grabbed behind his back and pulled it back to the other person's wrist. With a sharp kick, he sent the latter flying backward and crashing into the crowd, spitting out blood and looking extremely miserable.

Zhao Daniu fell to the ground, pressing his hand to his chest. The shockwave from the kick had shattered several of his ribs. He coughed up blood in pain, staring in shock at Xue Wu as he approached.

The surrounding disciples had never seen such a scene before, and they quickly cleared the battlefield, afraid of accidentally injuring them. Xue Wu walked over and looked at Zhao Daniu with a half-smile, staring at the dying man like a madman, like a starving tiger or a volcano about to erupt.

Zhao Daniu screamed in pain a few times, and with his hands forming a hand seal, he stirred up a large cloud of yellow sand that rushed towards Xue Wu. The fine sand contained a deadly poison; if even a drop came into contact with it, one's body would turn into stone.

Xue Wu chuckled coldly, his whole body bursting into flames. He slowly stepped forward, the poison burning away upon contact with the flames.

"Impossible, impossible... How could he possibly block my poison?" Zhao Daniu stared in horror at Xue Wu, who was gradually approaching. He suddenly dropped to the ground with both hands. As the ground shook slightly, countless spikes burst out of the sand and surged toward Xue Wu.

puff!

Streaks of powerful lightning emerged from beneath Xue Wu's feet, shattering the incoming spikes. The clash of lightning and fire was terrifying, shaking the surrounding area.

Everyone's faces showed shock at the same time. A cultivator with both lightning and fire spiritual roots had appeared before their eyes. A cultivator with both spiritual roots must be invincible in the same realm, which is very rare.

"He's actually a dual-spiritual-root cultivator?! Interesting, very interesting. To be able to kill a dual-spiritual-root cultivator is truly an incredible stroke of luck. I can't wait to kill him." Han Sen looked at Xue Wu, who was wreathed in lightning and fire, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Don't even think about it!" Xu Tao shouted, unleashing the fifth move of the Water Spirit Sword Technique, "Water Abyss."

"Dual spiritual roots, no wonder you're so powerful. But you killed my brother, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Zhao Daniu roared, clasping his hands together and using a forbidden technique. Instantly, every inch of his skin was covered in rocks, forming an earth armor.

"You've forced me to use this forbidden technique, and you'll die a worthy death. Using this technique will greatly shorten my lifespan, but it's enough to kill you." Zhao Daniu looked at the armor attached to his skin with disdain. He knew that once this technique was used, it would be difficult to find an opponent of the same realm, and it was not impossible to fight against a cultivator with dual spiritual roots.

Zhao Daniu and Xue Wu locked eyes again, their inner energy manifesting and colliding, instantly creating a sonic boom and raising dust.

In the contest of internal energy, Xue Wu quickly defeated Zhao Daniu with an overwhelming advantage.

Zhao Daniu stared at all in disbelief. How could the other party, who was also at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, so easily and completely crush him in terms of cultivation?

Before he could even react, Xue Wu had already attacked. His prized, invincible earth armor was pierced through by a single punch, the fist digging straight into his chest, blood staining the armor crimson.

He tried to throw a punch to retaliate, but in an instant, Xue Wu grabbed his hand firmly. A cracking sound came as Xue Wu crushed his entire arm right in front of him, as if he were crushing a piece of tofu.

Xue Wu's face turned fierce. He turned around and kicked Zhao Daniu's leg, breaking it just like he had kicked Long Yu's leg back then. Zhao Daniu fell to his knees with a thud. Then he stepped on Zhao Daniu's back and tore at his arm, like a vicious wolf tearing apart a weak sheep.

Zhao Daniu howled in agony, the sound of his arm splitting open echoing in his ears. With a soft thud, blood stained the yellow earth, and an arm was ripped off. He clutched his bleeding arm and screamed in pain on the ground, a gruesome sight too painful to bear.

The screams were horrifying. Anyone who witnessed this bloody scene couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear. Jin Lingjiao, standing to the side, widened her eyes as if she had seen a demon. She couldn't believe that this was still her kind, humorous, and incredibly good-cooking Xue Wu.
