178: Chapter 178 [Sword Intent Rebound] Unleashing Divine Power! Mingkong's Desperate Counterattack Before Death!

Seeing his attacks missing time and time again, Ming Kong grew more and more anxious as the fight went on.

Unconsciously, he introduced a bit more of his true form's Aura.

Although this caused the strength of his current Physical Body to skyrocket, forcing Zhang Jian to look solemn, in his desperation, he failed to notice something.

In the sky above Ta City, a trace of mysterious and unfathomable energy was gradually gathering.

The Reception Envoy looked up and scanned his surroundings.

He felt a sense of doubt but couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

He had originally intended to investigate carefully, but after receiving the message from Xuan Jizi, he felt completely at ease.

Once the Dean arrived, no matter what crisis arose, it would be a non-issue!

Outside the city, the winds and clouds were shifting, and the situation inside the city was constantly fluctuating.

Under Ming Kong's continuous attacks, Zhang Jian was forced to retreat step by step.

It looked like he was about to suffer a heavy blow.

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful Aura erupted from Zhang Jian's body, instantly suppressing Ming Kong.

Bang!

Ming Kong was struck by a massive force, making his body unstable, and he flew backward.

He crashed heavily into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Ming Kong's eyes were filled with shock and uncertainty.

His body felt numb and tingling, as if tiny strands of Sword Qi were constantly circulating within him.

He gathered his Qi, trying to block it, but it was completely futile.

He switched through several defensive skill effects, but they were all to no avail.

"What kind of attack effect is this?" He felt terrified in his heart.

Seeing his opponent hit, Zhang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief.

This mysterious attack was precisely the max-level trait of his [Sword Intent Block] skill: [Sword Intent Rebound]!

It had successfully triggered after blocking Ming Kong's attacks 10 times in a row.

It took Ming Kong's continuous attacks, applied a 250% bonus, and reflected them all back at him at once.

Although Ming Kong's body, once nurtured, was a mythical level BOSS with all sorts of defensive mythical level skills—including various invincibility types—Zhang Jian's Sword Intent Rebound under this skill inherently had mythical level priority.

After the entry bonus, the damage type had even changed to corrosion damage.

No matter how Ming Kong defended, he couldn't stop it.

Ming Kong never expected that the attack he had risked invoking his true form to release across countless light-years would all land on himself!

Moreover, this corrosion damage could neither be blocked nor removed.

It came in wave after wave.

In the blink of an eye, Ming Kong's face turned pale.

Zhang Jian's eyes lit up.

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

In two steps, he was at Ming Kong's side.

His fists seemed to transform into a towering mountain, crashing down.

Bang!

Ming Kong's body shuddered.

A flash of anger crossed his eyes.

"Damned little bug, how dare you attack me from such a position of superiority."

He instinctively wanted to counterattack, but with a thought, he suddenly held back.

He allowed Zhang Jian to pummel him with punch after punch.

"Brother Jian, well done!"

"Hahaha, let that guy be arrogant now; he's been beaten so hard he can't even stand up!"

Seeing this scene, the crowd at the city gate was excited and couldn't help but cheer loudly, rooting for Zhang Jian.

Even the highest-ranked Hai Mengen and his companion breathed a sigh of relief.

In their view, Zhang Jian's body, surrounded by Sword Intent, had astonishingly high defense.

The power in Ming Kong's attacks made them feel fearful just watching, yet Zhang Jian had blocked them.

And not just once or twice, but countless times!

Furthermore, there seemed to be a rebound effect.

In the current situation, it was clear that the opponent didn't dare to attack easily.

And the seven-colored light flickering as Zhang Jian threw his punches left them utterly shocked.

This represented a mythical level priority damage effect!

Although they didn't know how Zhang Jian, who was only at the first turn and logically could only learn legendary rank skills, possessed such an attack method, ever since they had known him, he had done too many things that broke convention and defied their imagination.

At this point, this was no longer enough to make them dwell on it.

Compared to the others' optimism, Zhang Jian didn't dare to slack off at all.

He couldn't remember how many times he had thrown a punch.

His arms were faintly aching, yet the opponent showed no signs of defeat.

Just as he was feeling vaguely irritable, the force from his fist suddenly sank.

Ming Kong's expression changed abruptly.

Zhang Jian was overjoyed.

[Shaking the Gods with a Mortal Body] had leveled up again!

After reaching mythical level from epic-grade, the [True Damage] it initially carried had been upgraded to [Corrosion Damage].

Moreover, the coefficient had also significantly increased.

With one punch, the power was more than ten times what it had been before!

In just three punches, the relaxed look on Ming Kong's face completely vanished.

He struggled with his body, trying to stand up.

But how could Zhang Jian let him have his way?

Having finally gained the upper hand, he fell into a state of frenzied attack.

In just a few seconds, he had thrown no less than a hundred punches.

Under the effect of the [Combo Resonance] entry, he fought with increasing vigor.

The body Ming Kong was possessing was soon smashed to smithereens.

Seeing that he was bleeding all over and on the verge of death, his eyes flickered, and he instantly became incredibly determined.

Whoosh!

When Zhang Jian threw another punch, he found that he had missed.

The originally tall body was already lying limp on the ground.

A smaller, transparent shadow was floating not far away.

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what had happened.

A Soul!

The opponent had completely abandoned his original Physical Body and turned into a Soul.

Anyone else might have been at a loss, but Zhang Jian had encountered this situation before.

Furthermore, he had the epic-grade entry [Kill Even Without a Body].

Facing the ghost-like wandering figure, Zhang Jian flashed forward, his fist arriving after the initial move.

Hum!

A very faint vibrating sound rang out.

It left Ming Kong incredibly terrified.

"He can actually attack a Soul?"

Didn't Luo Dong say that although this Zhang Jian had infinite potential, he was only at the first turn, the most Elementary level in the Professional system?

On their planet, he was a being inferior even to a newborn baby.

Why could he possess such miraculous means?

Zhang Jian's abilities were completely beyond his expectations.

For a moment, Ming Kong's thoughts stopped working.

But in that split second of distraction, Zhang Jian, as if familiar with the routine, unleashed dozens more punches.

By the time Ming Kong snapped out of it, he realized his Soul was on the verge of being blasted into dissipation.

This time, he completely abandoned any wishful thinking, and blood-colored light began to burn in his eyes.

He was going to completely self-destruct his Physical Body and use this channel to teleport over.

Since normal means could no longer cope, then so be it.

He, Ming Kong, although a member of the elite Void God Clan and part of the royal family—a seed of potential destined to break the ninth-Rank limit, succeed in transcendence, and freely soar through the Universe—now had to abandon this future and focus on the present.

Even if he was shattered to pieces, he would bury this human variable here.

The Void God Clan's plan could not be disrupted by anyone!

This time, he was very decisive.

Blood-colored light instantly enveloped his entire body.

An earth-shattering Aura instantly swept across the entire Ta City.

Thud!

The highest-ranked Hai Mengen felt a fear coming from the depths of his Soul and involuntarily fell to his knees.

The others went black before their eyes and fainted instantly.

Within the entire area of Ta City, no one was left standing; it became completely silent.

If others thousands of meters away were like this, Zhang Jian, who was facing him directly, felt an even stronger Aura of death.

But before he could even retreat to dodge, Ming Kong, transformed into a ball of blood-colored flame, was already crackling toward him, on the verge of blasting him into powder!

Just at this moment, the layer of light shrouding Ta City suddenly shattered.

The Aura of the Heavenly Dao arrived in the sky in an instant, blocking in front of Zhang Jian.

But the speed at which Ming Kong was self-destructing and burning was simply too fast.

The Aura of the Heavenly Dao only hindered him slightly before being instantly burned into nothingness.

Just as Zhang Jian was about to be killed by this transcendent, massive force, a sigh came from the sky.

"Enough!"

Starlight flowed and transformed into a figure, blocking in front of Zhang Jian.

It was none other than the Dean of Galaxy Academy, Xuan Jizi.

He gritted his teeth, turning his own body into a magnificent star, enveloping the blood-colored flame that Ming Kong had turned into.

Pfft!

The moment they made contact, Xuan Jizi felt a terrifying power far beyond his imagination and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't care about anything else and shouted hoarsely, "For Blue Star, Zhang Jian cannot die!"

Just as his voice fell, the scene in the sky changed drastically.

...

Thanks to a few friends for the support; it's been a long time since I've seen any gifts.
