295: Chapter 295 Black and Red Lightning, the First Signs of Conqueror's Haki

"The martial path of Great Xia has truly gone astray." His voice was extremely quiet, yet it echoed clearly through the wild winds.

Then, his right hand tightened around the black sword he had just pulled from the frozen soil, the sword tip pointing diagonally toward the ground.

Not a single trace of blood qi fluctuation could be felt on Su Chen. It was as if he were an ordinary person with no power to resist, quietly awaiting the arrival of death.

...

Tens of thousands of miles away in Kyoto, in Great Xia's Supreme Defense Command Center.

In front of the massive holographic electronic screen, there was dead silence. Major General Lei Wuji and a group of high-ranking military officials stared at the real-time feed returned by the satellite.

"What is he doing? Why isn't he dodging!" A Vice Admiral broke into a cold sweat and cried out in alarm. "He isn't even activating his Protective Qi? Facing an attack from a Rank-6 Martial King burning their Golden Core, if he doesn't use blood qi defense, not even his ashes will be left!"

"Could he have accepted his fate? Impossible! How could Shura accept fate!"

Major General Lei Wuji clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails embedding deeply into his flesh as blood dripped onto the floor. He stared intently at the thin, black-clothed figure on the screen. "Su Chen... what on earth are you planning..."

...

Far North Ice Field, ruins of the Logistics General Base.

The giant blade was already less than fifty meters above Su Chen's head! The violent saber aura had forcibly pressed a terrifying trench over ten meters deep into the frozen soil beneath Su Chen's feet!

At this critical juncture, Su Chen made a bizarre move that none of the high-ranking officials watching via satellite surveillance could understand.

He did not release any power outward to resist. Instead, he abruptly contracted it!

*Buzz—!* The terrifying Conqueror's Haki that had originally enveloped the air above the entire logistics base and knocked out tens of thousands of elite troops suddenly vanished within a thousandth of a second!

No, it didn't vanish! Instead, at a speed exceeding physical limits, it compressed inward at a frantic pace!

The black and red lightning raging across the sky, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, was forcefully and brutally drawn back in by Su Chen!

"What?" Director Li Linfeng paused in midair, suddenly feeling that the mountain pressing on his Soul had vanished. But far from feeling relieved, an unprecedented, fatal sense of palpitations surged within him!

"Where are you trying to compress that power to?" In front of the screen, Major General Lei Wuji widened his eyes, his face full of horror. How could such pure Soul will be forcibly compressed?

But Su Chen did it. Not only did he compress this kingly will that reigned supreme over all living beings, but he also forcibly infused it into the pitch-black blade in his hand!

This was not a martial arts technique that the High Martial World could comprehend. This was an ultimate divine skill from the magnificent One Piece Plane that only a handful of individuals standing at the true apex of the sea could reach!

Turning intangible kingly will into physical destruction. Compressing Soul pressure into a high-dimensional edge that could sever all things!

This was [Conqueror's Haki Infusion]!

*Boom-clash—!!*

The moment that Conqueror's Haki, compressed to the extreme and violent to the utmost, completely wrapped around the blade!

A sudden change occurred! That black sword, which was originally ordinary and possessed no spiritual energy fluctuations, let out a shrill sword cry!

The blade vibrated violently! It was as if even this weapon, reshaped from solid ice and Armament Haki, could not bear this terrifying force from a higher dimension and might shatter at any moment.

Immediately after, countless black and red materialized bolts of lightning, ten times thicker and a hundred times more violent than before, burst out from inside the blade like mad, furious dragons!

*Crackle!* These violent black-red lightnings coiled around the black sword. They no longer wandered around aimlessly to intimidate like before.

Instead, carrying ultimate destructive power capable of tearing everything apart, they frantically spewed and tore at the Void Realm!

*Crack! Crack!* Along with the wild dance of the black-red lightning, the space surrounding Su Chen completely collapsed!

Black spatial rifts visible to the naked eye continuously formed and dissolved around the black sword like a shattered mirror. Simply holding this sword, the shockwaves it radiated silently annihilated the remaining alloy ground beneath his feet into dust!

That pressure was far too terrifying. Even across the satellite screen, the high-ranking military officials in Kyoto felt a wave of palpitations, as if their very Souls were about to be cleaved apart by the dark light emanating from the sword!

"Warning! Warning!" The monitoring main computer in the command center suddenly emitted a piercing screech. "Unresolvable high-dimensional energy reaction detected in target area!" "Energy density exceeds detection limit! Sensors are overloading and taking damage!"

*Bang! Bang! Bang!* Rows of precision instruments beneath the main screen exploded into bursts of electrical sparks due to energy overflow. The entire command center fell into dead silence.

Major General Lei Wuji slumped in his chair, muttering blankly to himself. "No spiritual energy, no blood qi..." "Pure will... can actually be compressed to the point of collapsing space?" "Just what kind... of godly method is this..."

...

Far North Ice Field, center of the battlefield.

Director Li Linfeng's hundred-zhang saber light had already slashed down to less than ten meters above Su Chen's head. The violent wind pressure destroyed everything around it.

"Playing the ghost! Die for me!!!" Sensing the world-destroying aura on that black sword, fear drove Director Li Linfeng to roar madly. He pressed down all his power without reservation!

Yet Su Chen remained unmoved as a rock.

Holding the black sword wrapped in countless black-red lightnings with one hand, he lightly tapped his toe on the collapsing ground.

*Bang!* The air was violently stepped on, producing a sonic boom.

Su Chen's figure slowly rose into the air. Without activating any Protective Qi, he stepped into the Void Realm and met the attack head-on.

His black Major General coat fluttered noisily in the fierce wind. The crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan looked up with endless cold indifference at the hundred-meter giant blade cleaving down from above.

Black-red lightning leaped wildly, reflecting his intensely stern face. At this moment, Su Chen resembled an ancient demon god who truly controlled the Law of destruction!

"The martial path of Great Xia," Su Chen spoke coldly. His voice was not loud, yet it possessed absolute overbearing kingly aura, passing clearly into Director Li Linfeng's ears.

"Today, I shall correct it."

He gripped the black sword tightly, facing the hundred-zhang yellowish saber light that could cleave mountains, and facing that giant rock god pressing down like Mount Tai.

From bottom to top, he unleashed a single sword strike.
