Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

So that initial acceleration wasn’t Fang Yu’s limit at all. Only at the instant when the Bone Armor fully fused onto him, when the Longsword in his right hand merged with his arm and turned into a Bone Blade, did the power of his Bone Armor truly reach its peak!

The result of that was... a second-stage acceleration!

Boom!!

He used his initial speed to blitz across the first stretch of distance, then erupted into a second burst of acceleration just as he was about to reach his target. With that kind of speed shift, even if Xing Xueman wanted to retreat and open up distance, it was already too late!

So she simply stomped her foot and stopped backing off altogether, then raised her hand and thrust out with a sword strike!

Star Falling Sword!!

Qi flowed along her meridians and surged into the sword.

Two invisible spheres, like the extreme manifestations of suction and repulsion, formed and revolved on either side of the sword.

”Surrender yourself to me!!”

Xing Xueman said that, but the sheer power of the sword Technique was clearly aimed at taking his life!

That invisible suction force slightly affected Fang Yu’s speed, and even made the thrusting Bone Blade deviate from its original trajectory.

But it didn’t matter.

Because Fang Yu refused to trade blows!

Stab!!!

-859!

[Life: 98710/107257.]

Even though she struck later, Star Falling Sword still landed first on Fang Yu. Carrying both suction and repulsion, the instant it hit, the two forces instantly twisted into a spherical spiral force that ripped Fang Yu’s Bone Armor open on the spot, exposing the skin, bone, and flesh beneath! The Longsword followed through and stabbed in, tearing open the surface of Fang Yu’s skin and about to sink deeper, ready to skewer his kidney clean through!

However, refusing to trade blows meant...

Whoosh!!!

At the very moment Xing Xueman clearly saw her Longsword pierce through the side of Fang Yu’s waist, she immediately saw sword light! A killing sword light! A sword Technique that went all-in for a mutual kill!

What kind of lunatic is this?!!!

Xing Xueman was utterly horrified on the spot!

This couldn’t be some improvised change of move—almost no one could, after suffering a heavy hit, improvise a lethal mutual-kill counter like this!

So this strike had been aiming to trade life for life from the very beginning!!

Xing Xueman still had her youth, her bright future, endless possibilities ahead of her. How could she—how could she possibly be willing to trade lives with some lunatic she’d never even heard of!

So the sword Technique that should have pierced straight through Fang Yu’s kidney suddenly stopped!

Xing Xueman was retreating!

The instant the sword was pulled out of Fang Yu’s wound, she had already started backing away.

But her retreat was already too slow! Or rather, already too late!

Slice!!!

In Xing Xueman’s horrified gaze, her pupils trembling, Fang Yu’s Bone Blade had already cut open her smooth, flat belly, tearing through her fair skin.

As her blood spewed out like it cost nothing, the rending, searing pain instantly carved itself into her mind.

”No!!!!”

She screamed madly in her heart, and at the instant before that sword was about to slice into her internal organs, she explosively blasted herself backward!

She kept retreating, leaving a trail of blood behind her; the wound on her abdomen couldn’t be staunched at all!

Fortunately, by now she had opened enough distance. Clutching her wound with her left hand and gripping her sword with her right, Xing Xueman’s expression at this moment was as dark and cold as still water.

Up against a Martial Artist of this level, she shouldn’t have been injured at all. But who could have thought that the guy would open with a suicidal, kamikaze-style attack!

Unorthodox tactics still worked in the end—at least against someone like Xing Xueman, who lacked real combat experience, this move was very effective.

-816!

[Xing Xueman: 7184/8000.]

The damage itself wasn’t that high, but the actual wound was severe.

Because that suction force had bled off some of Fang Yu’s power; otherwise, this sword’s lethality could have been even higher.

Expressionless, Fang Yu lowered his head to glance at the wound on his own abdomen. It looked like some of his intestines were hanging out.

He casually stuffed them back into his belly, then calmly lifted his head to look forward.

”Come.”

Just that one word made Xing Xueman’s skin break out in goosebumps all over!

What kind of Monster is this! His guts are hanging out, and he still wants to fight me to the death!

Seeing the other side already sprinting straight at her like a madman, Xing Xueman’s expression instantly twisted into a snarl. She grit her teeth, then immediately raised the sword in both hands high above her!

Qi Force!

Violent Qi Power surged out, condensing around her as the center!

Sha sha sha!

Sha sha sha!

All the fine gravel around Xing Xueman began to vibrate and slowly float into the air, orbiting around her!

Charging forward, Fang Yu instantly felt a terrifying suction force.

This pulling force was several times stronger than before!

In just an instant, Fang Yu’s body was uncontrollably yanked toward Xing Xueman!

He had already been sprinting forward at full speed; with this sudden pull, Fang Yu’s feet actually left the ground, his body flung helplessly toward the raised sword edge in Xing Xueman’s hands!

Fang Yu immediately realized what was about to happen.

”Star Fall...”

”Qi Explosion...”

Their voices rang out almost at the same time.

”...Extreme Slash!!!” Xing Xueman was the first to roar out, the suspended sword hacking down violently!!

”...Sky Spiral!!!”

Boom!!!

A violent blast of Qi erupted out with Fang Yu at the center.

The Qi wave and the pulling force clashed fiercely, like air currents smashing into each other.

The terrifying pull which had been almost impossible to break free from was instantly weakened by more than half in this explosion.

Fang Yu briefly regained control over his body—by then, that falling sword was already right in front of his eyes!

If this sword actually landed, even with Bone Armor Possession, Fang Yu doubted he wouldn’t be cleaved in half!

After all, in his Bone Armor form, he was much stronger than a normal Martial Artist with seven thousand blood, but compared to a master with Eight Thousand Blood, he was still a bit inferior!

Pupils contracting, Fang Yu only had time to curl his body up in midair as much as possible.

Then came the spikes.

Stab stab stab stab stab stab!!

White Bone Spurs, densely packed like countless thorns, erupted outward frantically.

One Bone Spur smashed into the falling sword edge and was sliced apart with ease, not slowing it in the slightest, but more spikes—other spikes—those wild, outward-growing spikes, all surged madly in every direction, and also toward... Xing Xueman, who was swinging her sword down.

The Bone Spurs spread outward extremely fast; at the instant Xing Xueman’s Longsword was cleaving into Fang Yu’s Bone Armor, the Bone Spurs had already cut across Xing Xueman’s cheek.

One! Two! Three! Four! More, more spikes!

-15!

-18!

-29!

-38!

-22!

-16!

...

Like dense flying stones scraping across Xing Xueman’s cheeks, in a flash, more than a dozen bloody marks appeared on her face, while her sword had only just shattered Fang Yu’s Bone Armor and was about to bite into Fang Yu’s flesh.

Even though the Bone Armor dissolved most of the sword strike’s power, the remaining force still easily tore through the surface of Fang Yu’s skin and flesh, cutting straight down and hacking into Fang Yu’s breastbone!

-2152!

[Life: 96558/107257.]

The sound of bone shattering inch by inch rang out; by the time it had even reached into his spine, Fang Yu’s crazily swelling Bone Spurs, at that instant, through the impact accumulated by the massive stack of spikes, blasted Xing Xueman away in an instant!

Boom!!

With a loud bang, Xing Xueman’s figure was forced to retreat in midair, and when she landed, she skidded backward along the ground at extreme speed.

The fierce clash left Xing Xueman’s expression incredibly ugly, but there was no doubt that in that exchange just now, she had absolutely held the upper hand!

”This is... my victory!”

Xing Xueman looked ahead with a cold sneer.

Then she saw the afterimage.

A white afterimage! A crazily charging afterimage!

How is that possible?!!

Xing Xueman’s face changed drastically on the spot!

Her own injuries were relatively light, she could still fight—but that guy, hadn’t that guy’s spine been partially shattered? How could he still move!!!

”Demon! Monster!!!”

Clutching the sword in her hand, as the white afterimage was about to reach her, the Qi Force in her Dantian once again surged madly into the blade!

Why!

Why, when she could clearly feel that her opponent’s strength was inferior to hers, was she being forced into such a sorry state! Why!!!

With a furious shout, Xing Xueman swung a horizontal slash at the empty air in front of her!!

Something! Something was approaching!

Fang Yu couldn’t see the slash, but he still suddenly sensed something. Along with his already fully repaired Bone Armor, Fang Yu abruptly raised the Bone Blade in front of him as a shield.

Boom!!!
