301: Chapter 301 At the Twenty-Fifth Level of Qi Refining, He Hardens Against Three Disciples of the Joyful Union Sect

Xu Ruyu did not retreat, did not block, and did not even cast any flashy Spells.

He simply... raised his right foot, and then, with a seemingly casual movement, lightly stomped on the ice beneath him!

"Thump!"

A dull sound that seemed to strike right at the heart!

Centered on Xu Ruyu's right foot, an invisible yet violently extreme "kinetic shockwave" erupted!

This was not a vibration of spiritual power, but the result of the ultimate control from the Haotian True Qi Chapter, which instantly accelerated, disordered, and directionally released the "movement" of air molecules and even the ice layer itself within a tiny range under his feet!

Crackle!

The thick, solid ice was instantly shattered and vaporized by the shock!

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the rock beneath!

The incoming ice storm, under the impact of this chaotic and powerful kinetic turbulence, was actually forcefully dispersed and rolled back!

Ning Caihe's lightning-fast sword rainbow, the moment it entered this chaotic kinetic field, saw its blade tremble violently, its trajectory deviating in an imperceptible yet fatal way, grazing past Xu Ruyu's ear!

Zhao Yan's fierce fire fist was thrown off balance by this upward-erupting shockwave, scattering his fist's momentum!

Qingyan's dark blue blade light, upon hitting an invisible, high-speed vibrating air wall, was instantly repelled and annihilated!

The power of a single stomp had simultaneously neutralized the first wave of the four people's joint offensive!

Horror appeared on the faces of all four at the same time!

What kind of method was this?!

It had no spiritual power fluctuations, yet possessed such terrifying and bizarre power?!

However, before they could recover from their shock, Xu Ruyu's figure had already vanished from where he stood!

It was not teleportation, but simply because he was too fast!

He infused "air kinetic energy" into himself, significantly reducing the air resistance encountered during movement, while the kinetic energy exploding beneath his feet propelled his body like an arrow released from a bow!

The first one he targeted was the most threatening and stubborn one, Leng Ningshuang!

Leng Ningshuang felt a blur before her eyes, and Xu Ruyu was already within arm's reach!

She was terrified, instantly pushing her Golden Core Stage protective spiritual light to its limit, while her jade fingers tapped repeatedly, generating dozens of incredibly sharp ice cones out of thin air, shooting toward the close-range Xu Ruyu like a rainstorm!

Xu Ruyu did not dodge or evade; he spread the five fingers of his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air toward the sky full of ice cones!

The embryonic form of the Five Elements Evolution Chapter — simulating "strong interaction force" to locally enhance the connection between air molecules!

In an instant, the air between Leng Ningshuang and the ice cones seemed to be extremely compressed and solidified by an invisible force, forming a briefly existing, incredibly tough "air wall"!

Most of the ice cones hit the "wall" and shattered one after another!

The few that penetrated the "air wall" were also precisely shattered one by one by Xu Ruyu's left hand flicking fingers, with the high-frequency vibrating Haotian True Qi condensed at his fingertips acting like invisible bullets!

At the same time, his right foot kicked out silently like a viper, not toward Leng Ningshuang's body, but toward the empty space beside her!

With the kick, the compressed air was instantly released, forming a violent lateral shockwave!

Caught off guard, Leng Ningshuang's protective spiritual light flickered violently, and she was sent flying sideways by this sudden, tremendous lateral force, crashing hard into the mountain rocks a dozen yards away. She groaned; although she wasn't seriously injured, her blood was churning, and she was in a sorry state!

"Senior Sister Leng!"

Zhao Yan roared. Seeing Xu Ruyu with his back to him, he thought he had an opportunity. His flames surged, condensing on his right fist, and he launched a "Blazing Mountain Collapse" with all his might toward Xu Ruyu's back!

This punch had enough power to split mountains and crack stones!

Xu Ruyu seemed to have eyes on his back. The moment the fist was about to strike, he twisted his body at an incredible angle, while his right hand casually waved backward.

The embryonic form of the Hunyuan Electromagnetic Chapter — simulating an electromagnetic deflection field!

Zhao Yan only felt that this punch, which had gathered all his strength, seemed to strike slippery grease, or was forcibly deflected by an invisible force, causing him to involuntarily strike at the empty space beside him!

The massive power had nowhere to vent, instead causing him to stumble, leaving his defenses wide open!

Xu Ruyu followed up with an elbow strike, not using much force, but precisely hitting an Acupoint under Zhao Yan's ribs (combining his understanding of human structure and energy nodes).

Zhao Yan immediately felt half his body go numb, his spiritual power circulation stalled, and his massive flaming body withered like a deflated ball, half-kneeling on the ground, unable to get up for a moment!

"Whoosh!"

A bleak sword light attacked again!

It was Ning Caihe!

Taking advantage of the gap while Xu Ruyu dealt with Zhao Yan, he merged with his sword again, the sword light condensed like a thread, stabbing straight at Xu Ruyu's Dantian vital point!

This sword strike abandoned all variations, raising speed and penetration to the limit!

A hint of approval flashed in Xu Ruyu's eyes, but his movements were even faster!

He pointed his fingers like a sword, faint golden light flowing at his fingertips (simulating the high temperature and pressure of instantaneous chemical bond energy release), and without dodging or evading, he pointed straight at the tip of the sword!

Finger against sword!

"Ding—!!!"

A sharp, ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang across the peak!

Ning Caihe felt a scorching, sharp, and strangely vibrating force surge along the sword body!

His third-grade spirit sword, tempered a thousand times, actually had a tiny scorched dent at the tip!

That force also shook his hand until the webbing split, the long sword almost slipping from his grasp, and he was sent flying backward, his internal Sword Qi rampaging, his face deathly pale!

In just a few breaths, the three main forces, Leng Ningshuang, Zhao Yan, and Ning Caihe, were all thwarted!

Qingyan watched with a pale face. Gritting her teeth, the blue light on her butterfly daggers flared, and she was about to cast some secret technique.

"Qingyan, stand down."

Xu Ruyu spoke lightly, his gaze sweeping over.

Meeting his calm yet seemingly majestic gaze, Qingyan felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. The courage she had just gathered instantly dissipated, and she actually didn't dare to move again.

Xu Ruyu stopped pursuing and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the three people (excluding Qingyan) who were struggling to get up, disheveled, and filled with shock, confusion, shame, and a trace of disbelief.

"How is it?" Xu Ruyu's voice broke the silence. "Do you still want to continue?"

Continue? How could they continue?

Leng Ningshuang looked at her slightly trembling hands, feeling the churning blood in her body; she couldn't understand!

She was at the Golden Core Peak!

The opponent clearly only had the aura fluctuations of the Qi Refinement Stage!

Why were her ice-type Spells and protective spiritual light like paper in front of the opponent's strange methods?

Zhao Yan rubbed his numb ribs, looking at Xu Ruyu as if he were looking at a monster.

His punch, capable of collapsing mountains, had been "deflected" by the opponent with such nonchalance? What kind of ridiculous control was this?
