Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 75 - 69: Bell Toll and Tiger Roar, the Might of the Vajra Body!

Chapter 75: Chapter 69: Bell Toll and Tiger Roar, the Might of the Vajra Body!

This was exactly what Su Mu needed—to seize this opportunity.

After taking on a blow from Zhou Tiande, Su Mu’s five fingers clenched tightly, and a loud blast erupted in the sky as he fiercely launched a punch towards Zhou Tiande.

Zhou Tiande’s complexion changed drastically; he immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest, but Su Mu’s forward-charging body shifted in a peculiar direction, executing the Branch-Breaking Transformation from the Startled Sparrow Step.

Su Mu moved to Zhou Tiande’s side and unleashed a punch.

Bang!

A Yin and Soft Force struck the Red Fire Shield, rebounding instantly, and another Yin and Soft Force penetrated the Red Fire Shield, exploding on Zhou Tiande’s body surface.

"Hahaha, with the Red Fire Shield, how can you hurt me!"

Sensing the Yin Force exploding on the surface, Zhou Tiande laughed maniacally, but the next instant, his laughter abruptly stopped.

The Yin Realm that had exploded on the surface had not completely disappeared.

Rock Shattering Fist, a martial arts technique developed by the Great Yan Border Army specifically to counter the heavy armor of the Barbarian Race, amplifies the effect of Dark Force. When refined to perfection, it can add a second Penetrating Force after the first.

Bang------

A stream of Yin Force successfully penetrated Zhou Tiande’s body amidst the surging energy, resounding like war drums within the flesh and blood of his right arm.

Amidst a scream, Zhou Tiande’s reaction was quick. Realizing something was wrong, he frantically channeled energy into his right arm, trying to seal off the Yin Force inside his body.

But he was still a step too late.

In an instant, blood and flesh splattered. Although Zhou Tiande’s right arm was not directly blown off in one strike, it became a ghastly sight of exposed bone, rendering the limb temporarily useless.

"So strong... The brothers from the Demon Slayer Bureau actually injured Zhou Tiande!"

Shi Hong’s face showed a mix of ecstasy and dread. Upon seeing Zhou Tiande display his Tendon Power and Red Fire Shield earlier, Shi Hong had prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Now that Zhou Heng was dead and the escort mission had failed, he had been ready to rescue Su Mu and break through at any moment, but he hadn’t expected that this Copper Blade Catcher from the Demon Slayer Bureau would be so terrifyingly strong.

To actually disable Zhou Tiande’s right arm with the Red Fire Shield shielding him—this significantly diminished Zhou Tiande’s combat power.

"Damn it, when did the Vajra Temple produce such a figure? Where on earth did this guy come from!"

Zhou Tiande let out a cry of pain, holding his right arm. A growing sense of unease had already started to take root in his heart as he entertained the thought of retreating.

Su Mu, however, was like a fierce tiger locking his gaze on Zhou Tiande. Today, Zhou Tiande had no chance of leaving; how could he let the tiger return to the mountain?

"Zhou Tiande’s Red Fire Shield is not invincible... It can only rebound once per attack. I can use the Rock Shattering Fist against him, I just need to withstand the first offensive of the Rock Shattering Fist."

To validate this point, Su Mu took the risk of receiving a hit from Zhou Tiande, aiming to weaken the Red Fire Shield and avoid misjudgment that could lead to self-inflicted injury by his perfected Rock Shattering Fist.

Now, having verified it without error, a chilling murderous intent emerged in Su Mu’s eyes.

"Next, I will crush you!"

Su Mu took a step with the Startled Sparrow Step, instantly crossing several feet to close in, and this scene sent a chill down Zhou Tiande’s spine, as if a bloodthirsty tiger were pouncing towards him.

"Ah!"

Zhou Tiande maniacally activated the Red Fire Shield, causing flames to roar and terrifying heat to erupt, but Su Mu disregarded everything and slammed his fist down.

Vajra Body versus Red Fire Shield, true gold fears no fire refining!

Bang!

Su Mu resisted the first recoil of the Rock Shattering Fist, unleashing another punch, and the force from the previous punch infiltrated Zhou Tiande’s body, exploding violently.

Bang------

Again, blood and flesh splattered. As Zhou Tiande let out a pained scream, another punch landed. Zhou Tiande, needing to cope with the Yin Force inside his body, could only desperately use his remaining left arm to block.

Watching Su Mu’s unmatched might completely suppress Zhou Tiande, even trampling and overpowering him, leaping beyond the First-Grade Martial Arts Realm to beat Zhou Tiande, who had the Red Fire Shield, into helplessness, the entire arena fell into a dead silence.

Sounds of throats swallowing hard were heard one after another.

"Damn it, how does his power seem endless, how can it be so immense!"

By this point, Zhou Tiande’s thoughts of revenge had long dissipated, replaced by endless despair and reluctance. He was almost burnt out, unable to protect his five viscera with his power anymore.

"Stop, I am the Flame Banner Master of the Black Mountain Army... If you kill me, the Black Mountain Army will hunt you to the ends of the earth; the four Lord Guardians will not spare you!"

In the face of life and death, he roared lowly, threatening fiercely.

Upon hearing the words ’Black Mountain Army,’ Su Mu’s eyes turned cold to the bone. The Black Mountain Army, yet again, if not for them, Uncle Zhou wouldn’t have died.

"Black Mountain Army... they all deserve to die!"

Su Mu spat coldly, then raised his fist and smashed down again.

One punch.

Two punches.

Three punches.

"I, I, as the Flame Banner Master, will die at the hands of an unknown person, I, I am unwilling..."

Zhou Tiande’s heart filled with horror, having already seen his death date. As one more punch came crashing down, the Red Fire Shield shattered with a loud crash, and that punch ruptured his internal organs.

Su Mu hammered down his fist like a madman, not knowing how many punches he threw. When he came to, Zhou Tiande was no longer recognizable, reduced to a puddle of blood and flesh.

Whew!

Taking a deep breath and exhaling lightly, Su Mu surveyed his surroundings. No one, whether foe or ally, dared to make eye contact with him. Even Shi Hong averted his gaze instantly when their eyes met, everyone’s faces showing unstoppable fear and anxiety.

At this moment, Su Mu was not feeling very well either; the bones in both his arms had varying degrees of fractures, and he needed to heal quickly.

For now, he suppressed the excruciating pain in his arms, not showing it on his face, and swiftly rummaged through Zhou Tiande’s body. However, he did not find much. Zhou Tiande had come to save his son, so naturally, he wouldn’t be carrying too much treasure.

Even if there were any, Su Mu’s earlier blows had smashed them all into a pulp. Su Mu sighed slightly with regret and took an engraved red Token with the words ’Flame’ on it from his waist. After doing all this, Su Mu stood up and looked at Shi Hong in the arena.

Facing Su Mu’s gaze, even Shi Hong, who was also a guard, couldn’t help but shiver, secretly swallowing a gulp.

"My task is to repel the invading enemy... Since the matter is resolved, I bid farewell."

(The word count of this Chapter is somewhat lengthy because it’s a continuous plot, so I decided to write it all in one Chapter. It should be the same in the future. There will be a third update later today, posting a total of ten thousand words every day, in hopes of subscriptions and monthly tickets!)
