101: The bloody battle escalates, and the fists shake the mountains and rivers

Zhao Tianhe staggered backward, his military boots dragging messy tracks in the snow, his face ashen.

Su Lei put away the badge, his gaze as cold as a blade.

"Zhao Tianhe, how audacious of you."

"I represent the Federation in leading this development of the Kunlun Secret Realm. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Military Region, not only do you refuse to cooperate, but you also lead your troops to attack us."

"Your actions have severely violated national interests and even constitute treason..."

He paused, each word like iron:

"Detain him on the spot."

The moment Zhao Tianhe was brought under control, a blood-stained figure stumbled out from behind the troops—

Lei Qianjue!

His purple-gold battle robe was already tattered, and a gruesome claw mark on his chest was still bleeding.

His face was as pale as paper, but the hatred in his eyes was wilder than ever.

"One hundred million Federation Credits."

He roared hoarsely, "Whoever can make Su Lei bleed, this money will be transferred immediately."

At these words, the army instantly erupted in an uproar!

Lei Qianjue continued to raise the stakes, a hysterical glint in his eyes.

"I believe you all know my identity, and you know who my father is!"

"I'm laying it out here... those who perform exceptionally will directly become the President of a certain Martial Alliance Association!"

The entire scene instantly fell into dead silence, with only the howling wind and snow remaining.

Under such heavy incentives, the muzzles that had just been lowered began to rise slightly again.

Several Martial Masters who came from mercenary backgrounds already had greed in their eyes.

"Su Lei! Today, it's either you die, or I perish!"

Lei Qianjue suddenly roared to the sky, and dazzling lightning burst forth from his entire body.

Violent electric currents coursed over his body, instantly vaporizing the surrounding snow, forming a misty, swirling vacuum.

Su Lei's gaze suddenly sharpened like a knife.

Instead of retreating, he took a fierce step forward, facing the lightning.

A muffled thunderous roar came from within his body, his right hand transformed from a palm into a blade, the edge of his palm glowing with a metallic luster, and he chopped down heavily, accompanied by the sound of tearing air!

"Bang—!"

The moment the two forces collided, a visible shockwave exploded in a ring.

The snow within a ten-meter radius was swept away, revealing the dark frozen earth beneath. Both men flew backward simultaneously, plowing deep furrows in the snow.

Just as Su Lei's figure was unstable—

"Boom!"

A dark red Protective Aura suddenly erupted from Zhao Tianhe's body, its aura as cold as blood, sending several Martial Masters around him flying back, spitting blood.

The turbocharger on his right knee emitted a piercing shriek,

The joints of his mechanical arm deformed with a "crunch, crunch," and six laser blades shot out like venomous snakes flicking their tongues!

"Go to hell!"

With a furious roar, Zhao Tianhe's figure left an afterimage in the air, the laser blades cutting through the sky, emitting a grating sonic boom.

This strike was as fast as lightning, as vicious as a scorpion, and Su Lei only managed to barely turn sideways—

"Sizzle!"

The scorching laser grazed his arm, instantly carbonizing his combat uniform, and the smell of burnt flesh was particularly pungent in the cold wind.

Su Lei grunted, his right arm instantly covered in blood, but the Battle Intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

"What? Is that all you've got?"

Zhao Tianhe sneered endlessly, his Protective Aura constantly vibrating and surging, forming a blood-red armor covering his body.

The next moment,

The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he charged forward again like a cannonball,

The muscles of his left arm bulged like a coiled Dragon, and his fist glowed with a dark red Protective Aura!

"Crimson Fiend Fist!"

A-rank martial art—Crimson Fiend Fist!

Fueled by vital Qi, the fist strikes like a fiend, burning the internal organs of those it hits!

The dark red blood-light Protective Aura transformed into a sky full of fist shadows, engulfing a ten-meter radius!

Each punch carried a piercing sonic boom, tearing through the sky, leaving a lingering red trail in the snowy curtain.

Su Lei's figure floated like a phantom, his steps following a mysterious rhythm, weaving through the impenetrable net of fists.

Each dodge was incredibly close, the crimson fist winds grazing his combat uniform, instantly corroding the special fibers into charred holes.

"Can you only dodge?!"

"Show me the strength you used against PH-0!"

Zhao Tianhe's fist strikes suddenly changed, his entire body's Protective Aura boiling like a sea of blood.

"Crimson Fiend · Thousandfold Waves!"

The myriad fist shadows suddenly merged into one, transforming into a three-meter-high crimson wave that crushed down.

Wherever it passed, the snow instantly vaporized, and the frozen earth was corroded into honeycomb-like holes!

At the critical moment, Su Lei suddenly stopped, his right hand forming a sword with two fingers, a wisp of golden Protective Aura condensing at his fingertips—

"Ten Steps, One Kill!"

"Boom!"

The finger-sword collided with the blood-fist, and a terrifying Qi wave swept away the surrounding snow!

"Interesting..."

Zhao Tianhe retreated seven steps, his fist bloody, the Battle Intent in his eyes even stronger, "This is worthy of being my opponent!"

"Zhao Tianhe!" Su Lei punched away Lei Qianjue's lightning palm, using the force to flip backward, and coldly questioned, "Are you determined to collude with the Lei Family and oppose the Federation?"

"Considering you are a Martial Arts Grandmaster, if you surrender now, you can still receive a lighter sentence and keep your life."

"What do you know?!"

Zhao Tianhe sneered.

"The value of these things is enough to overturn the entire Federation's technological system!"

"And you—a mere young lad, are you worthy of controlling it?!"

As soon as his voice fell, the mechanical blade on his right arm suddenly split, transforming into dozens of high-energy lasers as thin as hair, instantly blocking all of Su Lei's escape routes!

Su Lei's pupils contracted to the size of needlepoints.

The moment he crossed his arms, a golden Protective Aura condensed into a translucent shield in front of him.

The laser beams made a grating "sizzle" sound upon contact with the shield, and scorching energy currents burned spiderweb-like cracks on the shield's surface.

"Sizzle—!"

Three laser beams penetrated the defense, leaving bone-deep scorch marks on Su Lei's arm.

The blood had not yet seeped out before it was carbonized by the high temperature, and the pungent smell of burnt flesh permeated the air.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianhe sneered endlessly, "Do you see? This is the most cutting-edge technology developed by the Northern Military Region with countless manpower and resources!"

"Before it, your little bit of skill is nothing!"

Su Lei's combat uniform was already tattered.

He was breathing heavily, each breath carrying blood foam, yet his breathing and exhalation subtly conformed to a mysterious rhythm.

A rumbling, muffled thunder constantly echoed within his body,

His Qi and blood vibrated incessantly, continuously repairing his damaged muscles, bones, and internal organs.

Even more astonishingly, he was constantly striking his own vital points with his right palm in the gaps between his blocks.

This seemingly self-destructive action actually ensured that each "Forging Body Palm" strike landed precisely on a Qi node.

"Bang!" Another palm struck his ribs, and the previously bruised area suddenly erupted with new strength.

Although it was a body-forging martial art useless in combat, it played a crucial role at this moment.

It continuously squeezed every cell in his body, unleashing an endless stream of power.

Lei Qianjue's eyes grew even more fierce, and he and Zhao Tianhe, one from the left and one from the right, pounced to kill!

—Lightning like a Dragon!

—Mechanical arm blades tore through the air!

The wind and snow howled, and the battle grew increasingly brutal.

Su Lei's breathing was heavy, and each time he blocked Lei Qianjue's lightning, a tearing pain shot through his arm.

And Zhao Tianhe's Crimson Fiend Fist was even more insidious; the blood fiend Qi continuously eroded his Meridians, making his movements slower and slower.
