Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1167: The Flaw of the Terrestrial Immortal

Wan Tianxiang was, after all, an Earthly Immortal, and the power gap between him and Su Yang was significant.

Facing each other head-on in this way was extremely disadvantageous for Su Yang. Although the Celestial War Armor could absorb most of the force, it also consumed his own power. Once his own power was exhausted, the Celestial War Armor would be useless.

Su Yang was clear about the current situation, but he was utterly unable to change the circumstances. He didn’t even dare to use the Shadow Phantom behind him to absorb Wan Tianxiang’s power—after all, it was the power of an Earthly Immortal, and absorbing it would definitely shatter his meridians.

After fighting for a while, Wan Tianxiang grew enraged and bellowed, ”Su, I want to see how many of my attacks you can withstand!”

Su Yang’s blood and Qi roiled within him—he was barely hanging on. However, his face remained indifferent as he coldly replied, ”At least until the Law Enforcers arrive!”

Wan Tianxiang had been calm, but his expression changed instantly upon hearing this.

He was now an Earthly Immortal and subject to the Law Enforcers’ restrictions. If the Law Enforcers came, he would be in trouble; there’d be no chance of killing Su Yang.

Realizing this, Wan Tianxiang took a deep breath, knowing he didn’t have much time to waste with Su Yang.

”You think the Law Enforcers will come to save you?” Wan Tianxiang snarled. ”I won’t let you meet them!”

Wan Tianxiang’s momentum soared once more, his power climbing. He no longer confronted Su Yang directly but, instead, unleashed incredible speed, circling around Su Yang and continuously launching attacks.

At this point, Su Yang scarcely had chances to counterattack. Out of every ten attacks from Wan Tianxiang, it was already good if he could block five. Thankfully, the Celestial War Armor was holding up; though his internal blood and Qi were in turmoil, he could persist a bit longer.

Yet, Su Yang knew if he didn’t come up with another plan to change the dire situation soon, he’d likely end up dead at Wan Tianxiang’s hands.

Recalling the contents of Destiny’s Tome carefully, Su Yang’s brows slowly knit together.

According to what was recorded in Destiny’s Tome, he had already broken through his bottleneck and could almost be considered half an Earthly Immortal. His power was partially transforming into that of an Earth Immortal.

However, Wan Tianxiang had not become an Earthly Immortal through the Great Perfection Realm, so his power had not yet fully transformed to Earthly Immortal Realm.

When a Sovereign sought to kill an Earthly Immortal, the key point was to attack the part of the opponent that had not yet transformed into Earthly Immortal power.

But which part of Wan Tianxiang had not yet transitioned into Earthly Immortal status?

The Beigong War God was skilled at killing Earth Immortals with the power of a Sovereign. Could it mean that the Beigong War God specialized in finding the weaknesses of Earth Immortals? Skilled in locating the part of them that had not yet reached the Earthly Immortal Realm?

Su Yang didn’t know how the Beigong War God managed to do it, and now he could only resort to the most primitive method—full-scale attacks to find the weakest spot in Wan Tianxiang.

After fending off one of Wan Tianxiang’s attacks, Su Yang once again grabbed a long knife and shattered it as he had done before.

The long knife shattered into hundreds of metal shards, like hundreds of tiny flying swords, shooting directly at Wan Tianxiang.

Wan Tianxiang waved his hand, and a good number of the metal pieces were deflected. However, the remaining shards still rushed toward him quickly.

Wan Tianxiang didn’t attempt to block them, allowing the iron pieces to approach his body, only to have them all repelled by his Protective Gang Qi.

”Such trifling skills are useless against a Terrestrial Immortal!” Wan Tianxiang sneered.

Su Yang remained silent. He had already figured out that the spot where Wan Tianxiang had just fended off should be his weakest point.

Thus, Su Yang took out another long knife and specifically targeted the spot Wan Tianxiang had just defended, to further confirm his suspicions.

Seeing that Su Yang was deliberately aiming for these areas this time, Wan Tianxiang’s brows furrowed slightly. As Su Yang had suspected, he, as a Terrestrial Immortal, was not yet at Great Perfection. There were weak points on his body, which forced him to block again.

After several attempts, Su Yang had basically locked onto the weakest spot on Wan Tianxiang’s body, which eased his mind considerably.

Charging forward, Su Yang engaged Wan Tianxiang in a head-on battle.

This situation surprised Wan Tianxiang quite a bit. Wasn’t Su Yang supposed to be looking for a way to escape? Why was he suddenly attacking him instead?

However, he didn’t give it much thought. After all, he was a Terrestrial Immortal now and was very confident in himself. Even if Su Yang attacked him up close, what could he do? He wasn’t the Martial Champion, he wasn’t the Beigong War God, so how could he dream of slaying a Terrestrial Immortal?

After several consecutive strikes that made Su Yang vomit blood, Wan Tianxiang became even more proud of himself.

”Su, you are doomed!” Wan Tianxiang said coldly with a sneer.

Su Yang didn’t respond and simply kept attacking with clenched teeth. After exchanging several blows and enduring some losses, Wan Tianxiang’s pride increased, and he didn’t take Su Yang seriously at all.

”An overestimation of your abilities, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!” Wan Tianxiang laughed wildly, ”Do you even understand what a Terrestrial Immortal is? In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant. How could you possibly fight me?”

As he spoke, Wan Tianxiang landed another blow on Su Yang’s shoulder.

Su Yang’s body wobbled, and his shoulder made a crisp sound as if the bones had been crushed.

Wan Tianxiang rejoiced, because due to the protection of the Celestial War Armor, his attacks hadn’t managed to truly hurt Su Yang until now. This time, it seemed Su Yang’s bones had actually been crushed, indicating that Su Yang’s strength was diminishing, and now he could be easily slain.

”Do you still want to struggle?” Wan Tianxiang laughed uproariously and launched a full-powered attack.

A sharp gleam flashed in Su Yang’s eyes; he had been waiting for this moment. As Wan Tianxiang charged forward, Su Yang pretended to turn around as if he was planning to flee.

Wan Tianxiang accelerated, determined to land a fatal blow, since he had already delayed enough.

Just then, Su Yang stumbled, as if he had accidentally fallen, and crashed directly in front of Wan Tianxiang.

Wan Tianxiang sneered, thinking this truly marked Su Yang’s death. Unconcerned, he ruthlessly aimed a palm strike at Su Yang’s chest.

At that moment, Su Yang also grasped the Nine Cold Jade Sword, thrusting it towards Wan Tianxiang’s left ribs.

Wan Tianxiang’s palm struck Su Yang’s chest just as the Nine Cold Jade Sword pierced into his ribs.

Wan Tianxiang, unprepared for such a sneak attack, let out a wretched scream and quickly backed away.

Su Yang too fell to the ground, vomiting two mouthfuls of blood, yet his spirit remained uplifted. The power of the palm strike had been mostly absorbed by the Celestial War Armor, barely injuring him.

As for Wan Tianxiang, he had suffered a severe blow. Just as Su Yang had anticipated, this spot was indeed his weak point, his Achilles’ heel, and being stabbed by the Nine Cold Jade Sword, it was a potentially fatal wound!
