Chapter 693: Unreachable, 1,000 Soldiers Retreat! (Part 2)

But in front of Su Mu, the two could not help but feel ashamed and shocked, as the figure before them, not seeming burly, had elevated his cultivation foundation to a level unreachable even by martial artists of the same or higher realm.

They couldn’t comprehend how the profound, oceanic qi and the deep, abyss-like four-inch Gang Force was cultivated, making them realize the feeling of a frog in a well gazing at the moon!

They were the frogs at the bottom of the well, while Su Mu was the bright moon rising above the sky.

Given time, if the person before them were to step into the Half-Step Grandmaster Realm, they even suspected this monster could directly overcome the Upper Three Grades, a barrier in the eyes of the world’s cultivators, and reverse slash into the Grandmaster Realm!

“Monster… where did this monster come from, Qingzhou Holy Land, Liu Yang Li Chong the four great millennial noble families, or the Inner Sea Region’s Dual Holy Palace?”

In contrast to the stunned ordinary sea pirates on the field, Zhao Lei and Quan Feng, these two notorious pirates, were parched with thirst, having completely lost the courage to battle the monster before them.

“Hmm, not bad!”

Su Mu, with deep eyes, calmly glanced at the crossbow bolts and arrows frozen around him, a hint of satisfaction flashed at the bottom of his eyes. The twenty-eight Gang Force he cultivated through years of hard work, and the qi blood created by his cross-training martial arts indeed did not betray his sweat and effort.

If Su Mu’s thoughts were known to Zhao Lei, Quan Feng, and even the top three of the Thirteen Pirates outside the dark hall confronting the Profound Robe woman, their hearts would certainly be so congested that their qi and blood would attack their hearts, vomiting three liters of blood on the spot!

Su Mu traveled to this world before he came of age. Counting the years when he began cultivating the Five Animals Qigong without yet practicing Grade-Entering Martial Arts, all said and done, it was less than eight years.

To know, they, the great pirates, considered themselves exceptionally talented, yet Su Mu’s less than eight years of effort and sweat had reached an advanced realm they couldn’t attain even after dozens of years, or despair from grueling cultivation since birth for over a hundred years.

“Click, click—”

Su Mu withdrew his gaze, the arrows frozen before him fell to the ground together, his eyes landed on Zhao Lei.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Lei’s cheeks twitched violently. Although he was skilled in cross-training martial arts, his opponent was not like a human but a humanoid monster, leaving him clueless about how to continue fighting.

“Come, fight again!”

Su Mu grinned, his mighty voice like rolling waves, his foot stomped on the ground.

“Boom!”

The immense Profound Demon Gang was like a mountain-opening hammer, causing the ground on which Su Mu stood to suddenly concave and collapse into a square pit, with cracks suddenly unfolding and spreading.

In the next instant, the Profound Demon Gang transformed into a soft winding around Su Mu’s hand, his body violently dashed out like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, the deafening Tiger Roar erupted in Zhao Lei’s heart, causing a moment of dizziness in his mind.

“Not good!”

In just a moment of distraction, Su Mu’s figure enlarged infinitely in Zhao Lei’s pupils, his right fist carried the terrifying Profound Demon Gang and smashed down straight.

“Profound Prison Technique·Iron Body Unbreakable!”

Zhao Lei knew under the mountain-sea-like Gang Force and qi blood pressure, he could not evade, so he pushed the Three Flowers to the extreme, frantically operating the cross-training martial arts he mastered, his entire muscles suddenly tightened like being cast in gold and iron, the bones in his body gleamed with metallic luster, the whole person seemingly transforming into an iron giant.

However…

No matter what Iron Body Unbreakable was, Su Mu still didn’t use Grade-Entering Martial Arts, the Five Animals Qigong was effortlessly unleashed.

Five Animals Qigong·Fierce Tiger Swallows Wolf!

“Bang!”

Su Mu’s heavy punch angrily boomed on Zhao Lei’s armor-protected chest, the Profound Demon Gang instantly tore through Zhao Lei’s protective Gang Force and qi blood like cutting through withered wood, then penetrated into his flesh, tendons, and bones, directly reaching the golden iron-like bones.

At this moment, Zhao Lei was completely frantic and terrified.

Yet there was no time to respond.

In the introspection state, his prideful physique, enough to battle a Half-Step Grandmaster, was so harshly struck, then shattered and fragmented.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Explosive sounds rang simultaneously from within and outside Zhao Lei’s body, the thick armor instantly concave then pierced through with a punch, following which the chest bone heavily collapsed and concaved.

Inside was even worse, one by one tendons and bones, the five viscera, exploded under the burst of Profound Demon Gang.

“Ah!”

Zhao Lei’s face contorted to the extreme, opening his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments, the whole person flew out like a broken kite, crossing the sky and hitting hard against the rock wall.

The terrifying impact caused the whole dark hall to sway, rubble fell, followed by another dull thud.

Taking a closer look…

Where Zhao Lei fell was left only with armor pierced by a fist, while Zhao Lei himself lost his humanoid shape, turning into a puddle of scattered flesh and blood.

“How could… this…”

“Not even able to withstand one punch, impossible, this was Zhao Lei, the fourth-ranked among the Thirteen Pirates capable of fighting against those three old fiends of Liu Sha!”

At this moment, Quan Feng’s eyes were immensely horrified, not only losing the courage to fight but also his liver and gall splitting in terror.

Su Mu with one punch not only killed a notorious pirate but also completely shattered another’s courage!

“Monster, this guy is a monster…. Quickly shoot, shoot him to death!”

The terrified Quan Feng lost his usual archer’s calmness, acting like a madman ordering his subordinates to reload crossbows and shoot at Su Mu, ‘bang bang bang bang’ another round of volley.

And in this gap, Quan Feng without any hesitation turned to flee outside the dark hall.
