Chapter 2392 - 2365: Are You Ready to Die?

Originally, Lu Tianxing hadn’t planned to use this Elixir, but now it seemed he had no choice.

Moreover, ever since he started exchanging blows with Tang Da, Lu Tianxing had sensed something strange. Judging from the strength Tang Da had shown last night, if Tang Da really wanted to deal with him, it should have been effortless. Yet now, every time Tang Da struck at him, it looked like he was going all out, but in reality, at the final moment of each attack, Tang Da always recalled a good portion of his True Qi.

This change was so subtle it was almost imperceptible; even someone at the Late Stage of Mythical might not notice it. But as a former mercenary whose entire strength was forged between life and death, Lu Tianxing was naturally keenly aware of such nuances.

Lu Tianxing was convinced that Tang Da was plotting against him, or perhaps Tang Qingyun was plotting against him. Ever since he stepped into Beijing, Tang Qingyun had wanted him dead. Now, when he clearly had the strength to completely suppress him, he instead chose to hold back. How could this not make one suspect that there was some trick in the midst of all this?

However, even knowing Tang Qingyun was calculating against him, Lu Tianxing didn’t take it to heart at all. Others in the Huo Clan might not know how truly terrifying the Creation Source Technique was, but he knew it inside out. Once he broke through to the Late Stage of Mythical, his strength would increase by at least tenfold; killing Tang Da would be as easy as flipping a hand.

"You want to scheme against me? Then I’ll see who ends up being the final Hunter."

A mocking smile curved Lu Tianxing’s lips. He really wanted to see what kind of expression Tang Qingyun would have when he realized his careful plans had fallen apart. It should be quite a spectacular sight.

When Tang Da saw Lu Tianxing’s movements, his eyes narrowed at once, but he did not stop him. What he wanted was precisely for Lu Tianxing to break through to the Late Stage of Mythical. As long as Lu Tianxing broke through to the Late Stage of Mythical, that would be the moment of Lu Tianxing’s death.

No matter what Lu Tianxing did now, it was nothing more than the last performance of a jumping clown before his death.

Seeing that Tang Da remained indifferent to his actions, Lu Tianxing sneered even more coldly in his heart. He was now even more certain that there was something fishy going on here. But that was all. They wanted to scheme against him? Then they would see whose life would end in whose hands.

With a cold snort, Lu Tianxing directly popped open the bottle cap, poured out a single Elixir from inside, and swallowed it in one gulp.

After taking the Elixir, Lu Tianxing casually threw the porcelain bottle onto the ground.

With a crisp crack, the porcelain bottle shattered on the spot.

The next instant, Lu Tianxing’s entire body shuddered as if struck by lightning; his body convulsed uncontrollably, his face twisted into a hideous grimace. Under his skin, his muscles seemed to be crawling with countless tiny snakes, making the sight especially horrifying.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing’s expression was contorted in extreme pain.

In truth, Lu Tianxing really was in agony. After taking the Elixir, he felt the True Qi in his body boil up as if a drop of water had fallen into a pot of hot oil. His originally calm True Qi suddenly turned incomparably violent, and a faint tearing sensation came from his meridians.

If his True Qi had previously been like the power of a river, then now Lu Tianxing felt that his True Qi was like floodwaters after a dam had burst—rampant and unstoppable, sweeping away everything in its path.

An aura of terrifying momentum erupted from Lu Tianxing’s body, filled with sheer brutality.

At the instant his True Qi exploded, everything around him was shaken to pieces. Boundless power permeated the air, giving people a suffocating feeling.

"Ah!"

Lu Tianxing suddenly let out a roar like muffled thunder. The broken walls and ruins at his feet all exploded at this moment. A violent aura surged directly toward Tang Da, pressing down on him. "Have you prepared yourself for death?"

"Kill me? Hahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Da burst into laughter as if he had just heard the greatest joke in the world. "Third Young Master of Lu Family, you think just because you swallowed an Elixir that can boost the fluctuation of your True Qi, making your True Qi more violent and terrifying, that you can beat me? In my eyes, you’re no different from an ant. If I want to kill you, it’s easier than crushing an ant to death."

Tang Da looked at Lu Tianxing with utter disdain, like a cat looking at a mouse. He could not deny that Lu Tianxing’s True Qi was indeed frightening now, but it was still far from enough to make him feel fear.

Tang Qingyun stood there motionless, quietly watching this scene with great interest. Mr. Mu also stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The Gale stirred up by Lu Tianxing’s violent True Qi made his robe snap and flutter, but Mr. Mu acted as if he felt nothing at all, simply watching with a calm expression.

"You enjoyed beating me just now, didn’t you?"

Lu Tianxing slowly extended his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "But that’s as far as it goes. Next, it’s my turn. Are you ready?"

Once these words came out, the onlookers couldn’t help but gasp in shock. They all looked at Lu Tianxing with strange expressions. Although Lu Tianxing’s True Qi looked much stronger than before, they all knew that just moments ago, Lu Tianxing had been utterly helpless in Tang Da’s hands. Yet now Lu Tianxing was boasting that he would make Tang Da suffer. This was no different from a lamb telling the lion chasing it, ’You’ve been chasing me for so long; now it’s my turn to chase you. Are you afraid?’

"You think you can beat me?"

"Try and you’ll know."

Lu Tianxing let out a cold laugh.

"Then I’ll see for myself whether you have that ability."

Tang Da finally could no longer hold back. With a swish, his large hand spread open, five fingers curling into the shape of a dragon’s claw. True Qi surged from his body, transforming into a prison. In that instant, it was as if the entire sky became a massive cage, directly enveloping Lu Tianxing.

Sky-covering Hand.

With this grab, his True Qi condensed and shrouded all directions. The emitted Qi seemed to tear the very air apart. Tang Da showed no mercy with this move; his killing intent ran deep. Even if he couldn’t kill Lu Tianxing, he wanted Lu Tianxing to understand the price of arrogance.

Lu Tianxing stood where he was, motionless. He didn’t even look at the incoming attack. Suddenly, he struck out; True Qi compressed to a point and erupted at his fist. He blasted out with the Unbeatable Emperor Fist, six massive arms of True Qi behind him sweeping horizontally like a domineering crab.

His True Qi was like tens of thousands of tons of boulders hurled by a catapult, flung out in a single instant. When it collided with Tang Da’s True Qi, it crackled and tore through it like a hot knife through butter.

Everyone watched as the six True Qi arms behind Lu Tianxing swung and intertwined, forming a gigantic True Qi sphere. That sphere spun at high speed, and when the falling prison touched that mass of True Qi, it was instantly blasted open with a huge hole. The unabated True Qi smashed straight into Tang Da, sending his entire body flying backward like a leather ball being kicked away.
