Chapter 848: Combat Experience Proves Superior by Ten Streets!
Just as Su Yi was in the midst of battle, a divine aura encased his fingertip imprint, bursting forth like thunder.
The imprint sliced through empty space, generating a fierce wind laden with killing intent.
The terrifying imprint swept across Su Yi’s clothes before him, utterly destroying his already tattered garments.
Yet the fierce wind failed to harm Su Yi’s skin in the slightest. It merely left a shallow mark on his luminescent body, which swiftly healed.
“Is that all you’ve got? How naive!”
With a menacing voice full of malice, a cold claw-shaped mark materialized after the imprint. Nanan Ruyu’s form appeared before Su Yi, his eyes gleaming with cold mirth and confident determination. He extended his hand like a black tiger targeting its prey, reaching for Su Yi’s chest.
The distance was minimal, the sequence lightning-fast.
Nanan Ruyu had precisely anticipated Su Yi’s retreat and executed his lethal strike.
“Oh no…”
“Watch out!”
In that instant, countless onlookers couldn’t help but fear for Su Yi’s safety.
Even many elite experts and elders at the grand entrance tensed with concern for Su Yi.
“Whoosh…”
The claw marks were razor-sharp and seemed capable of rending the void itself. They struck with the speed of lightning and the might of thunder, landing squarely on Su Yi’s chest.
Su Yi’s protective aura shattered, and the claw marks tore into his chest, threatening to pierce through completely.
Many observers shuddered and gasped, feeling their blood run cold.
If Su Yi’s heart were to be torn out directly, even with his extraordinary power, he wouldn’t survive. This had transcended mere combat—Nanan Ruyu clearly intended to kill.
“Chirp chirp…”
Su Yi’s chest was torn open, but an extraordinary phenomenon occurred. Strange fluctuations rippled through the void around his form. Countless eyes widened in amazement as Su Yi’s figure appeared to fragment into multiple afterimages. It then transformed into a blurred crimson shape in an impossibly twisted manner, materializing incredibly beside Nanan Ruyu.
“Wrath of the Eight Wastelands, Mountains and Rivers Crushed Beneath One Foot!”
With a thunderous cry, Su Yi’s dark hair billowed upward, crackling with fury. The surrounding space trembled with rippling waves of escalating energy. A whirlwind of power erupted beneath his feet, causing the air to roar as he delivered a direct kick to Nanan Ruyu’s head.
“Boom!”
The strike was blindingly fast. Not only was the kick swift as lightning, but it also completely defied everyone’s expectations, especially Nanan Ruyu’s. It connected with devastating force.
A terrifying surge of energy instantly crashed into Nanan Ruyu’s proud head, producing a dull thud.
Everything happened too quickly for Nanan Ruyu to respond.
Still basking in his perceived victory, Nanan Ruyu hadn’t yet processed the situation. The protective aura surrounding his body shattered under the impact of the kick.
“Pfft…”
The kick connected squarely with Nanan Ruyu’s head, carrying overwhelming destructive force. His skull appeared to fracture slightly, producing a sharp crack as blood spurted from his mouth.
Simultaneously, Su Yi maintained his aerial position after the kick. His wings unfurled behind him as he flipped downward in an unpredictable arc. With his fist tightly clenched, he launched an explosive punch.
Nanan Ruyu’s head pounded, his very soul quaking. A deafening buzz filled his mind, and the pain proved so intense he nearly lost consciousness. It felt as though his skull were being crushed.
Before Nanan Ruyu could even cry out in agony, Su Yi’s punch descended toward him.
The blow to his head had left Nanan Ruyu dazed and disoriented, his reactions sluggish and his heart overwhelmed with shock.
Nanan Ruyu had believed himself in complete control, unaware that his opponent far exceeded his expectations.
That kick represented the ultimate humiliation, trampling his pride, and now another punch approached.
“Bang!”
The solid punch landed with shocking impact. Under the relentless combination, Nanan Ruyu’s body launched upward like a projectile before crashing heavily onto the golden boulder.
“Bang!”
As all eyes watched, Nanan Ruyu’s form plummeted like a bullet, causing the entire golden boulder to shudder, leaving observers stunned.
“Plop plop…”
The unfortunate Nanan Ruyu lay sprawled on the ground, blood spraying in all directions.
As he attempted to raise his gaze and struggle to his feet, Nanan Ruyu’s eyes suddenly widened in horror. For some inexplicable reason, blood gushed unstoppably from his mouth in great spurts.
At this moment, only Nanan Ruyu himself understood that Su Yi’s seemingly simple punch contained devastating power, like endless waves of force.
Within that single strike were seven distinct forces—some hard, some soft, some containing softness within hardness, some hiding strength within gentleness, some striking from angles, some driving straight forward, some imploding inward. It left Nanan Ruyu’s head spinning, his soul trembling, his body helpless against the continuous surge of power within. The force threatened to rupture every organ in his body.
Under the onslaught of this terrifying power, Nanan Ruyu couldn’t withstand it and suffered catastrophic damage.
“My word…”
The powerful observers stood dumbfounded, this outcome defying all expectations.
“When it came to real combat experience, Nanan Ruyu believed he could overwhelm Su Yi, yet he failed to realize that in true battle, Su Yi far surpassed him!”
Old Man Gu Yue murmured thoughtfully, a smile playing at his lips, bringing warmth to his weathered features.
It was clear to Old Man Gu Yue that Nanan Ruyu had believed his combat experience sufficient to defeat Su Yi, combined with his advantages in speed and cultivation. Thus, he had chosen to attack in this manner, employing his ultimate technique.
However, Nanan Ruyu remained ignorant that Su Yi’s combat experience vastly exceeded his own, and his speed proved equal, if not superior.
“Hmph!”
A subtle smile crossed Xi Wuqing’s face—perhaps no one in the entire chamber knew Su Yi better than he did.
Xi Wuqing understood precisely how Su Yi had acquired his combat experience. Even when Su Yi had been weak and unremarkable, he had already survived in places like the Demon Woods and Forest of Demons.
The Demon Woods and Forest of Demons were realms where survival meant devouring or being devoured.
Though Nanan Ruyu possessed exceptional talent and received the Sacred Mountain’s finest training, naturally gaining various combat experiences.
Yet it must be said that Sacred Mountain’s combat experience, while involving life-and-death struggles, remained within controlled parameters.
