Chapter 358: Chapter 216: Five Elements Flow, Burning Qi Blood!

There is great fortune between life and death, and now is precisely such a moment.

The Profound Celestial General urged the Earth Element Divine Skill to attack, and with Su Mu’s terrifying level of comprehension, he instantly understood; immediately he inferred, deciphered, and his understanding of the Earth Element Divine Skill in the Five Elements Technique went a step further.

"The earth of the Five Elements is heavy, it is the method of suppression and unloading of force."

Sparks of spiritual light flickered in his mind, and seeing Su Mu clash head-on with the Profound Celestial General without retreating half a step, and instead blasting the general back several steps, suddenly there came a cold, sharp blade light like a waterfall hanging upside down, slashing towards him.

This slash came from behind him, aimed at Su Mu’s neck and throat.

"Is it the Gold Element Divine Skill this time?"

The Eighth-Grade Long Saber, infused with the Gold Element Divine Skill, emitted a pale-golden blade light of two inches. Even before the slash fell, a piercing shriek echoed across the sky, splitting the ground beneath Su Mu’s feet with a blade ravine more than ten feet long.

Wei Ming and Xie Li exchanged glances, and the scene from the battle in the Qifeng Mountain Range flashed before their eyes, causing waves of shock in their hearts. They gained their current strength by receiving the Celestial King’s Technique and putting their lives on the line.

How, then, has this young man’s strength advanced so rapidly? If relying solely on his own talent, it would be too terrifying.

"Let’s strike together!"

"Alright!"

Xie Li let out an angry roar to the sky, and the Fire Patterned Iron Grade Armor on his body shone bright red, flames swirling around, with an exceptionally scorching heat wave emanating from him, causing the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly within a radius of several feet. Having received the transmitted technique, Xie Li now possessed extraordinary strength; with a single palm strike, a giant flame palm over ten feet large was formed to suppress it down.

"Fire Element Divine Skill!"

At the same time, cold light flickered in Xie Li’s hand, as two three-inch Cold Needles were sent forth. His figure shimmered, and he seemed to transform into a blue-faced bat flying swiftly towards Su Mu.

"There’s also Fire and Water Elements."

Su Mu’s eyes flickered, and in an instant, the heavy ’Earth Breathing’ switched to the sharp ’Metal Breathing.’ The Gangjin Pill in his dantian burst forth with Gang Force, which, after circulating through his lungs, carried a razor edge.

At this moment, Su Mu had not yet tempered his five viscera, making it impossible to enhance his combat power using the Five Elements Mutual Generation, but he could still activate one of the techniques simply.

"Swoosh!"

Su Mu immediately activated the Gold Element Divine Skill from the Five Elements Technique. This cultivation method of the Gold Element Divine Skill condensed Gold Attribute Power through a special operation method, allowing it to temporarily transform into Iron Essence Qi.

"The Iron Essence Qi condensed by the Gold Element Divine Skill can temporarily strengthen and amplify blade soldiers and armor."

Su Mu was not wearing armor at the moment; firstly, ordinary non-Grade Armor was useless for Su Mu, not measuring up to the strength of his Molten Fire Golden Body formed by combining multiple Cross-Training Martial Arts, and secondly, the usual armor couldn’t withstand the terrifying heat when the Molten Fire Golden Body was displayed.

Now a hint of madness flickered in Su Mu’s eyes as he directly infused this Iron Essence Qi into his blood and flesh, and instantly, a pain like the tearing of flesh washed over him like a tide.

In an instant, as the Molten Fire Golden Body was displayed, the golden light circulating on its surface combined with the Iron Essence Qi, making Su Mu’s entire form emit a metallic gloss, truly transforming into a humanoid weapon.

"Not bad... With the enhancement of Iron Essence Qi, the defense of my flesh and blood has improved again; this approach might be feasible."

Clang!

All of this happened in a flash, and among the four, the Golden Celestial General’s blade finally fell, with the blade light infused with Iron Essence Qi slicing through the three inches of Crimson Flame, landing harshly on Su Mu’s surface, producing a loud clash of metal.

"Truly audacious, daring to withstand my Treasure Saber with just flesh and blood—it was indeed struck!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

A wild joy appeared on the Golden Celestial General’s face, yet in a moment it froze, then his expression drastically changed. The blade light reinforced with Iron Essence Qi shattered instantly as though it had struck not flesh but a weapon, a weapon more powerful than the saber he wielded.

The slash on Su Mu’s neck left only a very shallow white mark.

Crack!

Su Mu’s eyes narrowed, his left hand fiercely reaching forward, purple lightning crackling in the sky, and his fingers reached for the long saber on his neck.

Clang!

His fingers landed directly onto the edge of the Eighth-Grade Treasure Saber, where the Golden Celestial General felt things going awry. He tried to withdraw the saber but his arm trembled, and from the blade erupted an unparalleled and overwhelming Divine Power, which made his expression change drastically. He switched from one hand to two, but it was still to no avail.

Crack, crack!

Feeling the treasure saber in his hand making sounds as if it were about to shatter, the Golden Celestial General was both shocked and angry.

At that moment, the combined attack of Xie Li and Wei Ming arrived, giving the Golden Celestial General the chance to pull away, taking a step back only to look down and see a fine crack on the saber that Su Mu had just gripped.

"How can Li Feiyu be this strong?!"

The Golden Celestial General was incomparably shocked; he knew that, if not for the attack of Xie Li and Wei Ming, the opponent might really have shattered that saber in his hand with just flesh. It must be known this was not an ordinary saber, but an Eighth-Grade Treasure Artifact jointly forged by the masters of the Forging Workshop.

Neither the Golden Celestial General nor Wang Xuantian would know that precisely because it was jointly forged by Zhao Ju and three masters from the Forging Workshop would the Eighth-Grade Treasure Artifact be so vulnerable. The three masters had surreptitiously left a flaw in the weapons forged for the Rebel Army, just so to avoid aiding the tyrants.

"Boom!"

Su Mu launched both his fists, unreasonably smashing towards the attacking Xie Li and Wei Ming. Clashing directly with the two Black Mountain Celestial Generals, a series of blasts erupted upon impact, shaking the earth once more, causing the soldiers on both sides to cast fearful glances, pulling back once more to avoid getting caught up in the chaos.
