Chapter 151: Godly Power

Seeing the group charge onto the floating island, Su Li activated “Spider Walk.” He overtook everyone without hesitation, charging alone toward Gao Shupeng’s group.

“You’re looking for death—” The man with the earthworm-like scar, also one of Gao Shupeng’s five Level 6 experts, showed a savage expression. He couldn’t believe Su Li was so audacious, charging in alone. He immediately moved, along with the others, intending to instantly wipe out Su Li.

But some, like Song Yuanqing, sensed that something was wrong. Su Li’s move was highly unusual. Anyone with a brain knew that charging alone like that was suicide. Why was he so bold?

This hesitation caused Song Yuanqing to momentarily pause.

Almost instantly, Su Li closed the distance. Gripping the Dragon Rhino Sword with both hands, he unleashed the fully recovered Spiritual Source energy within it, bringing down the “Dragon Rhino Slash.”

With a tremendous “crack,” the full power of the “Dragon Rhino Slash” erupted. The Dragon Rhino Sword transformed into a two-meter-long energy giant-sword. The mineral ground split open, leaving a huge crack over three meters long. Crushed rock flew everywhere. The scarred man took the direct hit. Before he could scream, he was pulverized by the destructive force of the “Dragon Rhino Slash.” Gao Shupeng, Wei Cheng, and the Level 5s following them were all caught in the blast.

In that life-and-death moment, their astonishing reflexes kicked in. Gao Shupeng roared, his skin undergoing a dramatic change, instantly dyeing itself ink-black. He simultaneously dodged to the left. Even so, the residual power of the “Dragon Rhino Slash” swept his legs, slicing his trousers but failing to cut his ink-black skin.

Wei Cheng lacked Gao Shupeng’s ability. He was only slightly slower in dodging, but the power of the “Dragon Rhino Slash” swept across his abdomen. Blood and flesh flew instantly. His upper torso collapsed, hitting the ground. He let out a dying shriek, his expression quickly freezing in terror and pain. It was a fatal blow; he died after struggling for only two or three seconds.

The eight Level 5 Spiritual Source Wielders behind them were even slower. If Level 6 masters like the scarred man and Wei Cheng couldn’t dodge, they stood no chance.

Three Level 5s were instantly slain, and two were severely wounded by the blast.

A message surfaced in Su Li’s mind.

“Level 6 Spiritual Source Wielder: Spiritual Source 25/90”

This one strike earned Su Li seven Spiritual Sources.

In a single exchange, they had lost two Level 6s and three Level 5s, with two more severely wounded—nearly half their fighting force was gone.

Everyone, including Gao Shupeng, gasped. His pale face was completely distorted.

The “Dragon Rhino Slash” was incredibly powerful, but it could only be used once at a time and required a cool-down period. However, the men from Gold Eagle One A-Building didn’t know this.

The sheer terror of the strike stunned them. After their initial shock, they broke ranks and scattered, fleeing backward. Only Gao Shupeng let out a fierce roar: “Attack together! I’ll kill him—”

Gripping his longsword with both hands, he swept it out, charging at Su Li, completely unafraid of the Dragon Rhino Sword.

Su Li had already noticed that the Dragon Rhino Sword couldn’t cut Gao Shupeng when it grazed him. His skin had turned ink-black. The sword’s sharpness was neutralized. Clearly, Gao Shupeng possessed a Spiritual Source Technique similar to Wang Xiangyu’s “Steel Skin,” making him invulnerable to blades when activated.

Following Gao Shupeng’s roar, Song Yuanqing, who had momentarily paused, lunged at Su Li. He, too, was unafraid of the Dragon Rhino Sword.

Gao Shupeng and Song Yuanqing charged forward instead of fleeing, causing the others who had scattered to stop.

Gong Xiao, Xu Haishui, and Luo Jun immediately formed a semicircle around them.

Gao Shupeng swept his longsword out. It snapped the moment it met the Dragon Rhino Sword. Gao Shupeng immediately discarded the broken sword and, without fear, rushed forward, wrapping his arms around Su Li to grab the Dragon Rhino Sword.

“This guy…” Su Li frowned. He was clearly using his blade-proof body to seize the sword.

This kind of blade-proof “Spiritual Source Technique” was indeed bizarre. Even the Dragon Rhino Sword’s sharpness couldn’t penetrate it. The only way to win would be to find a fatal weakness in his body.

But what truly astonished Su Li was Song Yuanqing, who had also charged forward. Song Yuanqing’s skin had also turned ink-black, making him invulnerable, just like Gao Shupeng.

Did these two possess the same “Spiritual Source Technique?” Or was this not a “Spiritual Source Technique” but a special ability acquired after killing an Elite or Leader monster?

Amidst Su Li’s confusion, he activated “Spider Walk.” His figure blurred, circling the two men. His muscles swelled, entering the “Demon Muscles” state. His strength and speed surged again. He had some experience fighting an enemy with blade-proof abilities. Although the Dragon Rhino Sword couldn’t cut them, a pure force attack could still stun or kill them by shaking their internal organs.

This ability, similar to “Steel Skin,” had a weakness. It prevented piercing and slicing attacks but could not withstand attacks of immense blunt force, as the force would transfer through the skin and damage the internal organs.

With Su Li’s single strike killing two Level 6s and three Level 5s, the balance of power had reversed. Gong Xiao and Xu Haishui charged forward, immediately pressuring Fu Tianhua with a combined attack.

Luo Jun, Bai Wenwei, Jin Sixing, Ling Tian, and Wang Xiaofei surrounded the remaining five Level 5 opponents. Two of the Level 5s were wounded, leaving only three capable fighters. It was a five-on-three fight.

“Leave him to me!” Gao Shupeng roared huskily. He ignored the sharpness of the Dragon Rhino Sword and grabbed it with his right hand. He clenched his left hand into a fist, ready to meet Su Li’s counterattack.

Song Yuanqing heard the command and immediately turned away from Su Li, rushing toward Fu Tianhua to help him fight Gong Xiao and Xu Haishui.

Su Li had already entered the “Demon Muscles” state. His muscles swelled and sprang to life. His strength continuously surged. The sheer power of his left punch was immense. Yet, to his surprise, Gao Shupeng’s muscles also swelled, and the strength meeting his punch was almost equal to his own.

“How can this be?” Su Li was shocked. He saw that Gao Shupeng’s chest muscles swelled, vaguely forming the shape of a demonic face.

“Is that Demon Muscles?” He was astonished.

How could this Gao Shupeng also possess the same ability as him?

Amidst Su Li’s shock and confusion, Gao Shupeng kicked out, striking Su Li’s abdomen.

Su Li activated “Silver Armor Coating,” protecting his abdomen. He tightened his right hand, forcefully pulling the Dragon Rhino Sword from Gao Shupeng’s grip. He activated “Spider Walk.” His figure blurred, and he shot out, moving toward the struggling Fu Tianhua.

This Gao Shupeng was highly bizarre. He had blade-proof skin similar to “Steel Skin,” and also seemingly possessed Su Li’s own “Demon Muscles” and “Spider Walk.” It would be hard to kill him quickly. Su Li decided to eliminate the others first and then deal with Gao Shupeng later.

Su Li possessed “Spider Walk.” In the open area of the floating island, he could use it to its full potential. A single flash of his figure was enough to stun ordinary people. Although Gao Shupeng was formidable, he couldn’t keep up with Su Li’s “Spider Walk.”

Fu Tianhua was currently struggling, making him an easy target for Su Li’s surprise attack.

Song Yuanqing blocked Xu Haishui. Gong Xiao was fighting Fu Tianhua alone. Her “Storm Shield” perfectly countered Fu Tianhua’s ability.

Fu Tianhua’s left-hand white light could be used for close-quarters combat, exploding on contact. But Gong Xiao’s “Storm Shield” was immune to this attack. Instead, her continuous “Thorn Volley” left Fu Tianhua scrambling to defend.

Su Li was about to seize the opportunity to kill Fu Tianhua, but a figure suddenly flashed beside him. Gao Shupeng had matched his “Spider Walk.” Even more terrifying, a white light appeared in Gao Shupeng’s left hand, and he fired it at Su Li.

The attack completely surprised Su Li. He quickly activated “Silver Armor Coating.”

The white light from Gao Shupeng’s left hand struck his chest and exploded. Although “Silver Armor Coating” protected Su Li, leaving him uninjured, the force of the explosion sent him tumbling backward.

Gao Shupeng swung his right hand, and a white light shot out, speeding toward the fallen Su Li.

At that moment, Su Li’s mind raced like thunder. He suddenly realized what Gao Shupeng’s true ability was.

In the short exchange just now, Gao Shupeng had used several terrifying abilities: the blade-proof skin, which was identical to Song Yuanqing’s ability; Su Li’s own “Demon Muscles” and “Spider Walk;” and now the white light attack, which was Fu Tianhua’s ability.

It was almost impossible for one person to master so many abilities, especially the exact same abilities as the people around him. Furthermore, Fu Tianhua’s white light attack was clearly a Spiritual Source Technique. Gao Shupeng couldn’t possibly possess two Spiritual Source Techniques simultaneously.

Then, there was only one possibility: Gao Shupeng’s “Spiritual Source Technique” allowed him to replicate the abilities of others around him.

His ability was Power Replication.

This ability was truly god-tier.

He had instantly gained Song Yuanqing’s blade-proof ability, Su Li’s “Demon Muscles” and “Spider Walk,” making his strength and speed terrifyingly high, and now Fu Tianhua’s white light attack, which could be used for both long-range and close-quarters explosive attacks.

He was a monster who commanded the combined abilities of several people.

Su Li rolled on the ground. The white light struck the mineral ground, creating a loud “BOOM,” blasting a small crater and sending crushed rock flying.
