In an instant, Jiang Wuming's essence, energy, and spirit perfectly fused. His true qi surged wildly, his bones and internal organs resonating in unison.
His internal organs flickered with white light, like flashes of lightning. A white fist aura formed on his right fist, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
"Hmm?"
Upon seeing Jiang Wuming make his move, Kongming and Yuanhe, both from the Buddhist Sect, widened their eyes in surprise.
This was because they recognized the boxing technique Jiang Wuming was using as the Buddhist Sect's 《Jingang Quan》.
Jingang Quan was one of the Buddhist Sect's main cultivation methods, renowned for its ferocity. It allowed the bones, muscles, and internal organs to resonate, unleashing the strongest physical strength, and then perfectly combining it with internal energy or true qi, resulting in incredibly terrifying power!
Jiang Wuming threw out a punch, and the air in front of him directly exploded. Fierce winds raged, and his right fist flickered with white light. It was like a cannonball, blasting forward.
"Boom—"
In a flash of lightning, Jiang Wuming's iron fist struck Liu Xin's hand-blade. The true qi of both sides erupted and collided, creating an explosion. Terrifying energy fluctuations swept outwards, stirring up currents of air, like a small tornado.
At the center of the storm, the bones of Liu Xin's right hand shattered with a crack. His entire palm then exploded, turning into a pile of flesh and blood, swept up by the strong wind and floating in the air.
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
…
Immediately after, the sound of dull footsteps echoed. Liu Xin's body was forced backward uncontrollably. With every step he took, the ground beneath his feet cracked, leaving deep footprints.
It took a full ten steps before Liu Xin stopped. His right wrist was a bloody mess, his internal blood and qi churned, and his true qi surged like a runaway wild horse, tearing at his meridians and impacting his internal organs.
His face was ashen white, blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and his breathing had become extremely chaotic!
In the previous exchange, his right hand had been shattered by Jiang Wuming's punch, and his internal organs and meridians had also been injured!
Liu Xin was defeated!
Seeing this, everyone present, as well as the martial artists watching on the Divine Net live broadcast, had the same thought.
This was because Liu Xin's hands were now crippled!
Liu Xin was a blade master. Without his hands, he could no longer hold a blade, nor could he turn his hands into blades. How could he perform his blade techniques?
Furthermore, everyone saw the blood trickling from Liu Xin's mouth, indicating he had suffered internal injuries!
In such a state, Liu Xin was like a tiger whose limbs had been chopped off and whose teeth had been knocked out, left to be slaughtered!
"Defeated?"
Liu Xin stood on the martial arts stage, covered in blood, staring blankly at Jiang Wuming, as if he couldn't believe or accept the fact that he had been utterly dominated and defeated by Jiang Wuming!
"Don't believe it?"
*Whoosh!*
As if to answer Liu Xin's unspoken thought, Jiang Wuming's figure flickered, and he was once again in front of Liu Xin.
Even when hunting a rabbit, a lion uses its full strength.
The injured Liu Xin was like a harmless rabbit to Jiang Wuming. He was a lion, but he did not let his guard down, giving Liu Xin no chance to struggle—strike while the iron is hot!
*Whoosh!*
His figure appeared, and Jiang Wuming swung his right arm again, his palm open, slapping towards Liu Xin's face.
Since the very beginning of the life-and-death battle, Liu Xin had been dominated by Jiang Wuming, and the outcome was already decided. He was in a daze. It wasn't until Jiang Wuming's palm strike came towards him that he suddenly awoke. He instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late!
*"Slap—"*
A crisp slapping sound echoed.
Under the gaze of everyone present, Liu Xin was struck across his left cheek by Jiang Wuming, and his entire body flew outwards.
He was once again sent flying by Jiang Wuming's palm strike!
Although he had activated his protective true qi at the critical moment with his combat instincts, his spirit and body had both suffered severe injuries. The defensive power of his protective true qi had greatly decreased, how could it withstand Jiang Wuming's palm strike?
His protective true qi was broken by Jiang Wuming, and half of his face instantly shattered, a bloody mess, looking extremely tragic.
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
"Great-grandfather!"
Seeing this, the disciples of the Liu family, led by Liu Qingguang, roared in grief and indignation.
Before this life-and-death battle, they were far more confident than outsiders—Liu Xin could easily kill the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall!
For this reason, when they saw Liu Xin being dominated earlier, they were completely stunned and even scared silly!
It was only now that they suddenly awoke. Their faces were no longer showing any trace of their previous confidence; all that remained was terror!
The Liu family could become a renowned martial arts family in Longguo not only because of their long history and inherited Liu family blade techniques but, more importantly, because Liu Xin and his son Liu Qingfeng were both War Gods!
Not long ago, Liu Qingfeng had disappeared, most likely having died. Now, Liu Xin was being dominated and severely injured by the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall, making the Liu family disciples feel as if the sky was falling!
If the Liu family lost Liu Xin and Liu Qingfeng, they would directly become an unremarkable martial arts family. Decline or even extinction would only be a matter of time!
"Ugh…"
As the Liu family disciples cried out in terror, everyone present, as well as the martial artists watching in the live broadcast, were stunned once again.
Even though they had already realized Liu Xin was going to lose, seeing Jiang Wuming swat Liu Xin away like a fly with a single palm strike still shocked them to the core.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have rather believed that a young lady sold herself for love than believe that Liu Xin, a peak Two-star War God, considered the overlord of this realm, was like a clay figurine and a rotten dog, utterly vulnerable before Jiang Wuming, a mere One-star War God!
At this moment, Jiang Wuming's actions had even subverted their understanding of martial arts—in the history of modern martial arts, no one had ever achieved this!
Yes!
Even the renowned Jiang Zhan of the past, who had killed a Two-star War God by crossing realms when he was a One-star War God, his opponent was not the overlord among Two-star War Gods!
Moreover, Jiang Zhan was injured in that battle; it was a hard-won victory, not the overwhelming crush that the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall had inflicted on Liu Xin today!
"How strong did the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall's mental attack have to be to leave Liu Xin without any power to resist?"
Amidst their shock, almost everyone asked themselves this question.
They all knew that Liu Xin's defeat was due to the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall's mental attack, but they could not imagine how strong it was!
*Whoosh!*
A sound of air being torn apart answered them!
Under the scorching sun, the Liu family's ancestral treasure blade suddenly flew up from the ground, turning into a streak of light and slashing at Liu Xin.
*"Pfft—"*
Blood splattered. Liu Xin, who was in mid-air, had an arm severed by the Liu family's ancestral treasure blade, which he had used his entire life. His body, like a kite with a broken string, fell towards the ground.
*Swish!*
At this moment, the sound of air being torn apart rang out again.
The sharp Liu family ancestral treasure blade, after severing Liu Xin's arm, did not stop and whistled past once more.
*"Pfft—"*
The next moment.
Under the onlookers' gazes, the Liu family treasure blade caught up to the falling Liu Xin and, with a horizontal slash, directly severed Liu Xin's head. Hot blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying towards the sky, and then rained down like blood.
*Bang!*
Amidst the blood rain, Liu Xin's corpse fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Under the scorching sun, Liu Xin's head, stained with blood, lay on the ground, his eyes wide open.
The martial artists of the world bore witness: Liu Xin was killed by his own treasure blade!
He died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.
