79: Chapter 79 Severing an Arm

Upon hearing Li Zhengyang's words, Xue You paused for half a second.

Then, he laughed up at the sky.

"A Martial Venerable demonic core? Worth over a hundred million?"

Xue You slowly lowered his head, the contempt in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Should I praise you for being insatiable, or laugh at you for being pitifully stupid?"

He stood in mid-air, releasing the pressure belonging to the Martial Venerable realm.

The gravity within a radius of several miles seemed to increase several times over at this moment.

"A mere 5th Grade Martial Emperor," Xue You's voice was filled with cruelty, "dares to spout such nonsense?"

He casually raised his right hand and pressed down lightly towards the ground below.

Blood energy was instantly drawn and gathered, transforming into a giant scarlet hand in the blink of an eye.

"Kneel for me!"

Before the palm landed, the ground below had already caved in, smashing down towards Li Zhengyang.

Assistant Chen Feng, lying in a pool of blood, found it difficult even to breathe.

He bit his lip so hard that he didn't even feel the blood spilling out.

Only two words remained in his heart.

It's over.

However, Li Zhengyang did not retreat even half a step.

He raised his head, gazing up at the blood hand that blotted out the sky, and spoke.

"Tyrannosaurus Bone, activate!"

Li Zhengyang let out a low roar in his heart.

Boom!

A domineering aura erupted from within Li Zhengyang's body.

This pressure shot into the sky, turning into an invisible dragon-shaped pillar of air that forcibly tore a hole through Xue You's airtight pressure.

Assistant Chen Feng's eyes widened, flashing with disbelief.

What was he seeing?

That 5th Grade Martial Emperor hadn't been crushed to the ground, but instead had held his own against a Martial Venerable by relying on his own aura?

"Thunder Fall!"

Li Zhengyang bent his knees slightly and exerted force suddenly.

His entire body transformed into a bolt of lightning, thrusting towards the descending giant scarlet hand!

"Overestimating yourself!" Xue You snorted coldly, pressing his palm down heavily again.

Bang!

The spear tip collided violently with the blood hand in mid-air.

The recoil surged wildly along the spear shaft into Li Zhengyang's body.

For an ordinary Martial Emperor, this strike would have been enough to shatter all their internal organs and cause their meridians to snap, killing them on the spot.

But Li Zhengyang was different now.

Under the dual protection of the Tyrannosaurus Bone and the Indestructible Golden Body.

The crimson-gold light on his skin merely flickered for a moment.

All he felt was a tightness in his chest; otherwise, there was nothing unusual.

"Break for me!"

The veins on Li Zhengyang's body bulged, and the strength of the Ancient Dragon Power erupted.

Rip!

The abyssal meteor dragon spear, relying on its monstrous armor-piercing properties, pierced directly through the giant scarlet hand!

The blood energy filling the sky shattered, turning into a rain of blood that fell down.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Li Zhengyang instantly covered a hundred meters and charged straight in front of Xue You.

The spear tip pointed directly at the center of Xue You's brow.

Xue You's pupils constricted slightly.

He didn't die? And he could shatter this venerable one's blood hand?

"Courting death!"

Xue You did not retreat.

Using his hand as a blade, he gathered blood-colored gang energy in his palm and slashed fiercely at the incoming spear.

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere, emitting a deafening metallic clashing sound.

The two engaged in close-quarters combat in mid-air.

Li Zhengyang's spear moved like the wind, and relying on his talent enhancements, he did not fall behind against a Martial Venerable.

Relying on his thick blood energy, Xue You blocked all of Li Zhengyang's attacks.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two fought from the sky to the ground, and then all the way from the ruins back into mid-air.

Every collision between the fist and the spear tip stirred up a visible shockwave in the air.

Assistant Chen Feng lay in the pool of blood, gasping for breath, his gaze fixed on the two figures in mid-air that were moving so fast they left afterimages.

He was stunned.

A 5th Grade Martial Emperor, first injured a Martial Venerable demonic beast, and now was trading blows evenly with an Overlord Level demon?

This had already exceeded his understanding of martial arts common sense in his entire life!

Bang!

Another hard clash.

Xue You found an opening and kicked Li Zhengyang hard in the chest.

He flew backward, smashing into a deep pit.

But the next second, a black shadow shot out from the bottom of the pit, shaking off the dust, and attacked Xue You again.

As the battle progressed, Xue You's expression became increasingly ugly.

He discovered something that made his heart turn cold.

He had clearly hit this human solidly several times.

Yet this guy, despite clearly being injured, had wounds that were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

[Tyrannosaurus Bone recovery effect triggered! Blood energy recovery speed increased by 200%!]

Li Zhengyang became more and more excited as he fought, like an ancient ferocious beast that had gone Berserk.

He didn't dodge or evade, adopting a reckless style of trading injury for injury!

He would rather take a palm strike from Xue You just to poke a bloody hole in Xue You with his abyssal meteor dragon spear.

Conversely, Xue You's breathing began to become chaotic.

Although he had devoured the Nether Dragon Venerable's origin and forcibly broken through the shackles to enter the Martial Venerable realm.

He simply hadn't had time to completely refine that massive power!

His realm was unstable, and his aura was unsteady.

In this high-intensity, extreme close-quarters combat, the two forces within Xue You's body began to clash uncontrollably.

"Damn it!"

Xue You forced Li Zhengyang back with a palm strike, only to feel a sharp pain in his meridians.

This momentary pause was noticed by Li Zhengyang.

Opportunity!

"Berserk!"

Li Zhengyang roared in his heart.

His already violent blood energy boiled again under the stimulation of Berserk.

He stepped on Startling Cloud Step, his speed suddenly increasing by a notch.

Recklessly, he charged straight forward.

Seeing this, Xue You sneered.

"Full of openings! Go to hell!"

Xue You joined his fingers like a blade with his right hand and slashed fiercely at Li Zhengyang.

Puchi!

The blood blade pierced directly through Li Zhengyang's left shoulder, bringing up a spray of blood.

But Xue You did not feel any satisfaction from the kill.

Because his hand couldn't be pulled out.

The muscles on Li Zhengyang's face twisted slightly from the intense pain, but he didn't retreat even half a step; instead, he pressed forward violently!

"You... madman!"

Xue You was shocked and wanted to forcibly pull his arm back, only to find that Li Zhengyang's strength at this moment was completely unreasonable; he couldn't pull it out at all!

"I said it before."

Li Zhengyang's mouth overflowed with blood, but his eyes were unusually excited.

"I've got my eye on your demonic core!"

"Nine Heavens Thunder Control Spear, Silent Kill!"

Combined with the abyssal meteor dragon spear's properties: 100% critical hit, 80% armor penetration, Ancient Dragon Power bonus!

This was a sure-kill strike where Li Zhengyang exhausted all his trump cards, leaving absolutely no way out!

A black line streaked across the air.

"Shhh!"

Xue You's layer of blood-colored gang energy instantly dissipated.

The left arm that had tried to block the spear tip was severed at the root!

Black blood shot into the sky.

An arm, along with half of the shoulder, was thrown high into the air and fell towards the ruins.

"Ah!!!"

A scream echoed over the entire ruins.

Xue You's features were completely twisted in pain, and his survival instinct made him frantically erupt all his blood energy to heal his wounds.

Li Zhengyang's body stumbled in mid-air.

He was gasping for breath.

[Blood energy recovering rapidly...]

The system's notification brought a trace of warmth.

Li Zhengyang looked down at the demon's severed arm on the ground and licked the corner of his mouth.

"A Martial Venerable's arm."

Li Zhengyang grinned: "The texture when cutting it wasn't much."
