Chapter 295 Blood-Soaked Battle!

 

In battle, every step Su Rui took was calculated, every movement had a specific purpose.

Especially knowing he would face a master like Mai Taishan, how could he possibly be careless? Rushing in blindly without proper investigation was absolutely not Su Rui’s style!

The two rockets fired by Zhou Xianwei would ideally kill Mai Taishan, but even if they didn’t, they would at least cause him some internal and external injuries!

Things unfolded exactly as Su Rui had anticipated. In that explosion, Mai Taishan’s body was covered in bloody wounds, his back severely damaged by the blast wave, nearly causing him to cough blood. But he had no time to treat his injuries before immediately engaging in battle with Su Rui!

In the previous round of combat, every one of Su Rui’s punches targeted Mai Taishan’s chest – his eyes focused solely on this target!

To land hits on Mai Taishan’s chest, Su Rui was willing to suffer several injuries himself!

One punch, two punches, three punches! Relentless attack after attack after attack!

Su Rui was hit by many of Mai Taishan’s punches, but he likewise struck his opponent’s chest many times!

Mai Taishan might have thought that taking Su Rui’s attacks would only cause temporary breathlessness, but that was far from the truth! Because Su Rui had infused each strike with hidden energy!

Those punches appeared merely fierce, but more dangerous was the concealed energy hidden within them! All of it now lurked inside Mai Taishan’s body, waiting for the moment to erupt!

In fact, Su Rui being knocked so far away wasn’t entirely due to a difference in strength – his acting skills played a part as well!

Seeing Su Rui fall so far, Mai Taishan believed him to be lacking in strength and prepared to continue channeling his energy for a decisive blow. But he never expected that this simple act of energy circulation would cause him to cough blood!

Quantitative changes eventually lead to qualitative ones. The hidden energy and injuries planted by dozens of Su Rui’s heavy blows to his chest finally erupted completely under the stimulation of Mai Taishan’s forced energy circulation!

Mai Taishan couldn’t remember how many years it had been since he last coughed blood, but this time, he absolutely couldn’t hold it back!

One mouthful, two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls!

After coughing blood, his head felt dizzy, and much of his strength seemed to drain away!

This was the inevitable aftermath of coughing blood!

Su Rui’s accumulated punches and vicious hidden energy had caused him extremely serious damage!

However, Mai Taishan had no time to adjust his breathing, let alone circulate energy to suppress his internal injuries. Before he could catch his breath, the cold gleam of blades appeared before his eyes!

This time, Nightingale didn’t hesitate at all. She firmly remembered Su Rui’s words and sought opportunities from the periphery!

Watching Su Rui battle Mai Taishan, the blood in Nightingale’s heart burned increasingly hot. She wanted to fight! She needed to fight! She wanted to become stronger through battle!

These two knife strikes seemed simple, but they contained all the essence of her lifetime of training!

The Dragon and Phoenix Twin Blades were ranked tenth on the weapons list of legendary cold weapons. Combined with Nightingale’s explosive potential at this moment, their power was simply unimaginable!

Mai Taishan had just finished coughing blood, his bodily functions at their weakest, when two blade gleams suddenly appeared before him, giving him no time to dodge!

“Ah!”

Mai Taishan let out a great roar, his face instantly becoming ferocious. His whole-body hard qi technique activated, and he actually endured Nightingale’s critical strike!

Two streams of sharp, cold light slashed across Mai Taishan’s chest!

Skin split open, flesh torn, blood spraying! The fierce blade gleams even left indentations on his chest bones!

If Mai Taishan hadn’t cultivated his hard techniques to the extreme, Nightingale’s two horizontal slashes would have likely cut him into three pieces!

Even so, his defensive capabilities were terrifyingly formidable!

From this perspective, it was remarkably difficult for Su Rui to have persistently caused such severe internal injuries to his chest earlier!

Blood continuously gushed from the two horrifying wounds, quickly staining Mai Taishan’s chest red! This also filled his eyes with vicious intent! His previously calm demeanor was impossible to maintain!

The extreme pain severely stimulated Mai Taishan’s nerves. Seeing his chest cavity slashed open and blood gushing out, rage immediately burned boundlessly in his heart!

With a fierce shout, Mai Taishan, now transformed into a blood-covered man, lunged directly at Nightingale!

Having landed a successful strike, Nightingale’s blade momentum hadn’t stopped. The Dragon and Phoenix Twin Blades had already become a whirlwind, entangling with Mai Taishan!

Even though she had pushed herself to her peak state, Nightingale still felt powerless against the enraged Mai Taishan!

In such close combat, she could hardly hit her target! Her opponent’s strength was terrifyingly great, and he could always avoid her blade edges!

But Su Rui was still lying on the side, seemingly seriously injured and unable to provide assistance!

Giving up easily wasn’t Nightingale’s style. With a fierce cry, she flew horizontally through the air, continuously somersaulting, her twin blades joined together. Her entire body was like a high-speed spiral drill, carrying piercing cold wind and killing intent, directly breaking through Mai Taishan’s defense!

At this moment, moonlight had penetrated the clouds, shining upon Nightingale!

In the moonlight’s reflection, this movement demonstrated her extreme flexibility and explosive power to the fullest! It carried an indescribable beauty!

Nightingale’s spiral killing strike gouged out a bowl-sized bloody hole in Mai Taishan’s chest muscles! The two sharp blades even scraped off the surface layer of his chest bone! The teeth-grinding sound made people’s hair stand on end!

Nightingale’s feet touched the ground, her form wanting to advance further, but her blades were stuck in the chest bone!

At this point, Mai Taishan’s chest was a bloody mess, too cruel to look at!

“White family girl, you’ve thoroughly angered me!”

Mai Taishan let out a hoarse roar, his right palm extending to grab Nightingale’s wrist! He pulled hard!

Crack!

Nightingale’s wrist made a crisp bone-breaking sound!

She groaned, ignoring her now-drooping right hand, and extended her left hand, thrusting the dagger in it into Mai Taishan’s shoulder!

“Ah!”

Suffering continuous heavy injuries, Mai Taishan howled again in pain! Before coming here, he never imagined he would be defeated by this girl!

Mai Taishan grabbed Nightingale’s left hand and yanked hard!

At the same time, his foot kicked heavily at the bend of Nightingale’s leg!

Nightingale’s knee also made a heart-wrenching bone-breaking sound. Her face flashed with pain, completely unable to stand any longer! Her body tilted to one side!

“Die!”

Mai Taishan roared, with two knives stuck in his body, covered in blood, appearing crazed!

His right arm raised high, all his body’s strength concentrated in his arm, smashing down toward Nightingale’s head!

If this blow landed, without a doubt, Nightingale would no longer live!

Nightingale’s body was still tilting to the side. At this moment, she had no time to be afraid or nervous, because that fist full of violent power had already arrived!

“Is my life going to end like this?”

Nightingale closed her eyes, somewhat regretful. This battle had brought out unprecedented potential in her and greatly helped improve her combat abilities, but now things were about to end.

This would be her last battle, and she had tried her best.

Just when Nightingale was almost in despair, a figure rushed in front of her, embraced her body, and flashed away from under Mai Taishan’s fist!

Nightingale opened her eyes – it was Su Rui!

“You’ve done very well today. Leave the rest to me.”

Nightingale nodded. When she saw Su Rui’s gaze, the pain in her body seemed to lessen.

Su Rui’s voice was gentle as he carefully placed the severely injured Nightingale on the ground. Looking at the charging Mai Taishan, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes!

Mai Taishan had already suffered serious internal injuries from Su Rui’s successive schemes, and now the external wounds caused by Nightingale were horrifyingly visible. From his appearance alone, it was impossible to recognize him as the formerly dignified martial arts master! With two knives stuck in his body and clothes soaked in blood, it was hard to tell if he was human or ghost!

As Mai Taishan charged over, he coughed up another mouthful of blood. His overall aura decreased somewhat due to this blood loss, but the killing intent in his eyes didn’t diminish at all!

He was willing to risk his life to tear these two damned young people to pieces!

“You hurt Nightingale, so today you’ll remain here forever!”

After saying this, Su Rui’s form became like lightning, carrying an unstoppable momentum, charging straight toward Mai Taishan!

“Traitor, die!” Mai Taishan also erupted with full force! At this life-or-death moment, he no longer cared what aftereffects such actions might leave! Su Rui must die!

The two figures crossed paths, separating instantly!

Su Rui retreated twenty steps, no longer able to withstand the turmoil in his chest and abdomen. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood!

While Mai Taishan didn’t retreat a single step, he let out an extremely agonizing howl!

This howl seemed to scatter the clouds in the sky! Such was the extent of his pain!

At his feet, blood flowed like a river!

Quickly accumulating into a pool of blood!

What kind of wound could produce so much terrifying blood?

Mai Taishan looked down at the exposed bones in his chest, his eyes blood-red!

Su Rui hadn’t chosen to clash with him head-on but had endured one of his punches!

While enduring, Su Rui’s right hand moved like a knife, straight toward his chest, reaching in through the wound Nightingale had previously made!

Five fingers like five swords penetrated Mai Taishan’s muscles, forcibly tearing out a rib from his chest!

Tendons were ripped apart alive, a pain so intense that Mai Taishan nearly fainted!

Moreover, Su Rui had also torn off a large piece of skin and flesh! Exposing a large area of Mai Taishan’s chest and ribs directly to the air!

Blood poured freely from his chest!

The scene was extremely bloody!

No matter how crazed Mai Taishan was, he now lacked the strength to attack! With blood loss too rapid, he felt his life force continuously draining from his wounds!

Su Rui finished spitting blood, threw aside the rib and large piece of skin and flesh, and coldly looked at his gradually weakening opponent!

“Brother, now it’s my turn.”

At some point, Zhou Xianwei had appeared beside Su Rui, a rocket launcher on his shoulder, aimed directly at Mai Taishan ten meters away!
