Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 699: Chapter 698: Condensing Breath into a Blade

Although no one was optimistic about Liao Yuxuan, Su Yang didn’t dare to underestimate him at all.

The aura of the Three-faced God Monarch was emanating from Liao Yuxuan’s body, and furthermore, this aura was much stronger than the one Su Yang felt from the statue of the Three-faced God Monarch at Liao Yuxuan’s house before.

Su Yang didn’t know what the relationship between Liao Yuxuan and the Three-faced God Monarch truly was, but there was definitely a close connection between the two. Moreover, the fact that Liao Yuxuan could utilize the power of the Three-faced God Monarch was terrifying.

After all, since the Three-faced God Monarch was known as a god, that itself clarified a lot. The Three-faced God Monarch must be at least a Terrestrial Immortal, otherwise, there wouldn’t be a sculpture to manifest his divine power.

Given that the Three-faced God Monarch is a god, that indicates that Liao Yuxuan is capable of wielding the power of a god. Even if it’s just the power bestowed upon him by the Three-faced God Monarch, it’s still the power of a god!

Liao Yuxuan slowly walked up to Su Yang and said coldly, ”Su Yang, although we had no grievances or grudges, you have repeatedly attacked me in Nanluo City, trying to kill me again and again. Today, I will settle all our scores. I want you to know that I, Liao Yuxuan, am not so easily bullied!”

Su Yang laughed, ”Liao Yuxuan, if you want to fight then fight, why bother with all this grand but empty talk? What, do you want to leave yourself with a good reputation before you die? But don’t you feel ashamed saying these things? Who is it, after all, that wants to kill who? Who was it that struck first? Escaping from Luo City like a beaten dog, do you really think a miracle will happen today at the Medical Saint Sect?”

”Whether there will be a miracle, we’ll know after the fight!” Liao Yuxuan shouted angrily, and suddenly took a step forward.

With a stomp on the ground, a loud boom sounded, and a crack appeared beneath his foot, quickly spreading toward Su Yang.

By the time it reached Su Yang, the crack had turned into a large pit, as if it intended to swallow Su Yang whole.

The people around exclaimed in shock; they had never seen such a technique before!

But Su Yang remained calm. He also stomped the ground, and the crack was immediately halted, unable to advance even an inch further.

Missing his target, Liao Yuxuan’s brow immediately furrowed, and he said coldly, ”You really didn’t disappoint me, your strength has improved over this period. However, that makes things even better. I truly have no interest in killing a weakling!”

”You, on the other hand, have surprised me,” Su Yang said with a smile. ”It seems I’ll have to use both hands to fight you!”

With those words, Su Yang casually threw the Iron Arhat aside. This famous master from Hanxi immediately collapsed to the ground, limp as if all his sinews had been extracted, unable to struggle in the slightest.

Then, it dawned on everyone that Su Yang had been fighting with only one hand. Now that he had freed both hands, how powerful would he be?

”It doesn’t matter if you free both hands; even if you grew ten more, you still wouldn’t be my match!”

Liao Yuxuan let out a great roar and suddenly exhaled a breath of white air.

The white breath quickly dispersed in the air, spreading around. Simultaneously, Liao Yuxuan reached out to grab, and the white breath wrapped around the surrounding air and gathered in front of him.

Liao Yuxuan brought his hands together, and the white breath quickly compressed. The air wrapped in the white breath also compressed simultaneously, and eventually, a large volume of air materialized into a solid form in Liao Yuxuan’s hands, compressed into a dagger less than an inch long.

Su Yang furrowed his brow, he had to admit that Liao Yuxuan’s martial arts were indeed far from simple.

This move, compressing air into a blade, appeared simple, but in reality, it was very difficult to achieve. And once accomplished, its power was extremely terrifying.

The dagger was made of compressed air; air itself has no shape and can change unpredictably. Not only could it expand or contract, but it could also change into other shapes at any time. Moreover, the most crucial aspect was that the compressed air possessed powerful explosive characteristics, which greatly enhanced the power of the Qi Knife.

Facing such an attack, counterstrikes were not easy. Because any force exerted on this air was futile, it was impossible to scatter the compressed air.

Therefore, this move of compressing air into a blade could even be considered a very shameless tactic. However, this very move was extremely effective, and that was what forced Su Yang to sigh inwardly.

”Kill!” Liao Yuxuan roared angrily, and the air-crafted dagger rushed out swiftly, like a thrown knife, heading straight for Su Yang.

The spectators around were unaware of the horror of compressing air into a blade, but they were nevertheless astonished and dazzled. Liao Yuxuan’s move was much more astounding than Gongye Xuan’s earlier performance.

Everyone looked at Su Yang with eager anticipation, wanting to see how he would withstand this knife. If Liao Yuxuan could display such splendid moves, could Su Yang’s techniques be even more shocking?

In the face of the aggressively approaching Qi Knife, Su Yang didn’t dodge. He even took a step forward, flicking his right hand, and the Kirin Jade appeared in his grasp.

”Break!” Su Yang let out a low shout, and the Kirin Jade immediately shone with red light. Within the glow, a tiny kylin, shaking its head and wagging its tail, charged out and directly confronted the Qi Knife.

As the Qi Knife and kylin collided, the little kylin was split into two without suspense. However, this little kylin was merely a manifestation of the Kirin Jade’s power, not a living creature. Though it was split apart, its power persisted, and the red light promptly enveloped the Qi Knife within it.

The attribute of Kirin Jade was fire, and the temperature within the red glow was extremely high. As the Qi Knife was enveloped, the mist rapidly evaporated, and the Qi Knife began to wobble accordingly.

After all, the Qi Knife was condensed air and had to adhere to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. Under the heat from the Kirin Jade, the air expanded rapidly, and the outcome was predictable.

Before it could reach Su Yang, the Qi Knife exploded, emitting a thunderous noise, as if a bomb had detonated, startling everyone.

A powerful shockwave surged out, blowing many people away, while several walls of the hall suffered varying degrees of damage. Tables, chairs, and everything else in the hall were virtually all flipped over, none were spared!

Now, the onlookers truly understood the terrifying power of the Qi Knife, and everyone shuddered with fear.

Had this knife struck them, it probably would have been enough to kill dozens of people!

That Su Yang could still neutralize this knife was indeed shocking, and they couldn’t help but admire him even more.

Liao Yuxuan’s complexion turned icy to the extreme, this was one of his trump cards, meant to kill Su Yang. But how could he have imagined that his trump card would not even slightly injure Su Yang and would be broken so easily? When had Su Yang’s strength become so formidable?

In fact, it wasn’t difficult for Su Yang to counter this move. Even without the Kirin Jade, he could still have used Devouring the Heavens; Liao Yuxuan’s attack, while fatal to ordinary people, was utterly useless against Su Yang!
