311: Chapter 310 Overpowered Suppression

A sudden metallic clang rang out!

Slashes infused with the Fire of Nirvana shot out in all directions. Five slashes each hurtled toward the three Deputy Captains, including You Hongle, with a thunderous roar.

The three small bronze mirrors capable of binding people had no effect on the flying slashes; they were so fast that they arrived in an instant.

The three of them could only barely manage a response in their horror, yet amidst the booming sounds, blood splattered, and with the Black Flame clinging to their wounds, they were sent flying backward.

Not only that, a massive amount of spirituality value vanished from their bodies, drained dry in an instant.

Among the three, the one who lost the least lost 200 points, while the one with the most—350 points of spirituality value—saw it vanish in a flash.

The remaining slashes were all directed at Huo Gui alone!

The longsword in Huo Gui's hand burst with light to the extreme, emitting a resonant sword hum.

As it thrust toward Chu Xuan, it was like a boat braving the wind and waves, piercing the water's surface with an unstoppable momentum; wherever it passed, visible ripples spread out to both sides like waves.

Meeting this sword strike were a full thirty-five slashes, each a meter long.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Amidst the incredibly violent explosions, the first twenty slashes were all shattered by the incoming thrust, but after that, the light on the sword blade also dimmed slightly.

Even that unstoppable momentum came to a sudden halt.

However, the remaining fifteen slashes continued unabated, striking toward Huo Gui behind the sword as its light faded.

Huo Gui's pupils contracted sharply. Just as those last fifteen slashes were about to hit him, his body suddenly became somewhat ethereal.

His entire person, along with the longsword in his hand, seemed to step into another dimension, allowing the fifteen slashes to pass right through him.

Amidst the roar, a long, narrow trench split open behind Huo Gui; dozens of meters of instrument tables and chairs were all slashed to pieces, turning into powder, and even the special metal wall at the very back was left with deep Slash marks.

Although these fifteen slashes did not directly hit the command personnel behind Huo Gui, they still felt bursts of sharp pain.

Their clothes were instantly covered in tears, and fine wounds quickly appeared on their exposed arms and cheeks as blood seeped out.

"What..."

Although Huo Gui had dodged the slashes, the accompanying Black Flame remained on his body, and the unspeakable pain caused his expression to change drastically.

Not only that, the System notification that followed immediately caused his heart to sink to the bottom—

[You have taken unknown damage. Your health points -375, your spirituality value -375.]

"There's something strange about this Black Flame..."

Huo Gui was pale with fright.

However, before he could react, a long saber wrapped in Black Flame suddenly hacked down, sweeping across him. Although it left no wound, even more Black Flame attached itself to him.

[You have taken unknown damage. Your health points -25, your spirituality value -25.]

Another System notification surfaced in his mind, confirming Huo Gui's suspicion.

Seeing a saber sweep past, Chu Xuan followed up with a backhanded diagonal Slash. Huo Gui's expression changed wildly as he instantly returned from his ethereal state to reality.

Clang!!

A deafening sound of clashing metal rang out, and Huo Gui's figure was sent flying back like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the metal wall dozens of meters away along the previously made trench.

"What powerful strength!"

With his blood and Qi churning, Huo Gui's face flushed with a look of utter horror. His strongest attribute was strength, which had not only been converted into a real attribute but had also reached 11 points.

This was not just equivalent to the conversion of 110 points of ordinary strength; he had also gained a certain trait. He truly could not believe that Chu Xuan could still far surpass him in strength.

Chu Xuan's face was cold and filled with killing intent.

The confidence he possessed had never come from the warning of Lin Jie's Heavenly Secret; after all, that was someone else's Talent skill. He would make use of it, but he would not regard it as his own trump card.

Most of his confidence came from the fact that he had already seen through these people's various attributes and skills using his Eye of Insight.

The opponent had no Specter's death rules nor any special Domain enhancement, so the threat to Chu Xuan was negligible.

As for the threat of being immobilized by those three Copper Mirrors, it had always been just a slight binding; Chu Xuan could break free at any time, not to mention the fifty slashes that had already taken shape within his body.

Even if there were an eventual accident, as long as it wasn't an instant death threat, Chu Xuan could still use a random teleportation scroll to escape.

At this moment, although all the slashes in his body had been released and the Fire of Nirvana had consumed nearly two hundred points of spirituality value, and the use of the Eye of Insight had also cost over a hundred points of spirituality value...

...similarly, in this brief instant, he had already harvested over 1,000 points of spirituality value through the Fire of Nirvana.

Clang!

Without saying a word, Chu Xuan started with another Slash. Huo Gui raised his sword to shatter it, but it was no longer as easy as at the beginning; his arm was trembling slightly.

Bang!!

With a kick off the ground, Chu Xuan left a crater underfoot. His figure followed immediately, raising his saber to strike.

Huo Gui's figure vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already behind Chu Xuan, thrusting his sword through the air with a whistling sound.

But Chu Xuan had long since detected through his Eye of Insight that this Huo Gui possessed a max-level Teleportation ability, allowing him to teleport up to 100 meters without obstacles with a 2-second cooldown.

Chu Xuan had been on guard against such a move from the start.

Relying on his spirit attribute, which was faintly reaching a qualitative change, Chu Xuan instantly felt a slight throbbing pain at the back of his head. An alarm went off in his heart, and without a second thought, he swung his saber back in an upward parry.

The longsword was directly knocked away.

At the same time, Chu Xuan's figure also vanished at that moment.

He also possessed Teleportation; although it was only Level 3 with a 20-second cooldown and a maximum distance of only 35 meters, it could still be effective.

When he reappeared, he was right above Huo Gui's head.

Huo Gui's pupils shrank as he immediately realized something. Sensing the danger, he abruptly raised his sword to block, the blade glowing with a piercing light.

He actually managed to block this heavy downward Slash.

However, the light on the longsword dimmed once again.

Forced down by the weight, Huo Gui fell to one knee.

While still in mid-air and before landing, Chu Xuan suddenly lashed out with a horizontal kick, striking the other man squarely in the side of the face.

Huo Gui's entire face was deformed as he was once again sent flying like a cannonball, crossing the entire underground command space and crashing heavily into the wall on the other side with a booming vibration.

Chu Xuan turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing to follow up with a finishing blow.

The Black Flame blade edge swept past!

Huo Gui entered his ethereal state, but the Fire of Nirvana remained on him, reducing his health points and spirituality value by another 25 points. The intense pain made his eyes nearly burst from their sockets.

What drove him even more frantic was that his spirituality value was down to the last 2 points, no longer enough to maintain the use of the longsword.

The piercing light on the blade had already dissipated, looking ordinary and plain, yet it appeared extremely sharp with faint white Sword Qi flowing around it.

He gritted his teeth and endured. Just as Chu Xuan's saber swept past, he also thrust his sword toward Chu Xuan's throat, simultaneously deactivating his ethereal state.

A Slash suddenly appeared, knocking the longsword aside and exploding with a roar just an inch from Chu Xuan's throat. The powerful wind blew his hair back, revealing his sharp eyes.

Huo Gui's hand holding the sword was already trembling.

In that split second, Chu Xuan reached out with his left hand like a claw, covered in Black Flame, grabbing for Huo Gui's face while simultaneously holding his long saber in a reverse grip, prepared to slit his throat at close range.

At the critical moment, Huo Gui teleported away, and Chu Xuan turned to charge after him.

Throughout the underground space, the speed of the two was extremely fast. Most people's eyes couldn't even react, only barely able to capture their movement trajectories.

"Is this... still human?"

Many ordinary people, including Elder Wang, watched without blinking, their eyes dazzled. This was the first time they had watched such a battle from such a close distance.

From time to time, booming vibrations rang out, making people's scalps tingle.

After only thirty seconds of fighting, the area was already in a state of chaotic mess. Various types of equipment had long been completely destroyed, with Slash marks and craters everywhere.

If not for the protection provided by Junior Brother Shen Guyun and the guards from the other world, the ordinary people present would not have been able to hold on; most would likely have already suffered casualties.

"They really are fighting!"

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Junior Brother Shen Guyun's mouth, but there was a hint of gravity in his eyes: "However, this Chu Xuan really does have some capital to be arrogant. With such formidable strength, Huo Gui is completely outmatched and can only struggle to hold on through teleportation and etherealization!"

"It's all just brute force; the combat style is too crude, without any technique. Once you break through your realm, Senior Brother Shen, you can easily suppress these two," someone beside him whispered.
