NOVEL WEB Chapter 50: Hunting Old Suan Ni
"Bang!"
He crashed into the mountain forest. Although he was sent flying, Shi Jian did not suffer any damage due to the Nethergod Guard.
"Undefeated King Fist!" Shi Jian once again activated his Demonic Wings and flew into the air, then unleashed the Undefeated King Fist. Although the Undefeated King Fist was of average grade, its three-headed, six-armed characteristic was incredibly useful.
Countless runes flickered, and a three-headed, six-armed Giant instantly appeared behind Shi Jian. The next moment, Shi Jian raised his hand, and several Nether God's Spears materialized, finally being grasped by the three-headed, six-armed Giant. The three-headed, six-armed Giant brandished the Nether God's Spears in its hands and then charged towards Old Suan Ni.
Old Suan Ni's figure flickered, appearing a hundred meters away in an instant, showing no signs of age. Within its golden pupils, mist surged, and suddenly, a golden lightning bolt flew out, striking the three-headed, six-armed Giant.
The three-headed, six-armed Giant swung the Nether God's Spears so densely that no air could pass through, blocking the golden lightning bolt. Two more beams of light, accompanied by the sound of thunder, shot from Old Suan Ni's golden pupils and struck the three-headed, six-armed Giant, causing the runes on the Giant's body to instantly dissipate!
However, Shi Jian had also arrived before Old Suan Ni. Looking at the shattered three-headed, six-armed figure conjured by his Undefeated King Fist, Shi Jian even had the leisure to show a disappointed expression. The Undefeated King Fist was, after all, not some extraordinary Divine Ability. Being able to momentarily block Old Suan Ni was already impressive enough.
Although the Nether God's Spear, hailed as the strongest killing technique, could contend with Old Suan Ni's golden lightning, the strength of the three-headed, six-armed Giant conjured by the Undefeated King Fist itself was only average. However, it was certainly domineering. Strength is temporary, but being handsome is for life.
While contemplating the weaknesses of the Undefeated King Fist, Shi Jian's movements did not stop in the slightest.
Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist! His eleven Great Cave Heavens opened simultaneously behind him, and from the volcanic Qi of his Cave Heavens, crimson lava flowed continuously, accompanied by the roars of Giant Elephants!
The power of the Cave Heavens, combined with the power of the Giant Elephants, unleashed a terrifying force that, under the augmentation of the Black Emperor Water Yellow Springs, poured out in an instant! One punch carried the might of mountains collapsing and the earth rending!
Old Suan Ni sensed the danger; its entire body glowed with even more intense golden light, so bright that it hurt the eyes, turning the entire mountain forest into a golden ocean. Mysterious runes interwove densely on its body, like flying electric snakes, and powerful forces stirred the winds and clouds, as a Precious Technique was about to be unleashed.
Suan Ni Precious Technique. The golden light collided with Shi Jian's Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, instantly producing bursts of thunder that echoed throughout the entire mountain forest! Centered on the clash between the man and the Vicious Beast, the mountain forest within several miles around them was left in ruins, as if struck by a tornado. The ground beneath them cracked.
Old Suan Ni was a terrifying powerhouse in its peak, and although it was now aged and its strength had declined, it still could not be underestimated. Even with all of Shi Jian's Divine Abilities, it was difficult to completely overwhelm him. The two were in a stalemate for a time; Shi Jian could only fight with all his might, and the battle between the man and the Vicious Beast intensified, pushing forward, expanding the battlefield's scope. Countless wild beasts in the mountain forest lost their lives due to the collateral damage of their battle.
Old Suan Ni let out a roar; the golden ripples around it almost materialized, surging like a tsunami, as it pushed its runes to the extreme! The surrounding rocks and vegetation, upon touching these golden ripples, instantly turned into dust. Countless living beings in the Great Wilderness trembled as they witnessed this terrifying scene.
Shi Jian no longer used the Nether God's Spear, but instead directly clashed with Old Suan Ni using the power of his Physical Body and the power of the Giant Elephants. Old Suan Ni's physique was astonishing, its body massive and majestic, and each time its pillar-like claws descended, they possessed the power to shatter mountains and overturn seas.
Shi Jian's slender body seemed insignificant before Old Suan Ni. But his fists were able to steadily deflect Old Suan Ni's claws every time. If any expert were to witness this scene, they would surely be shocked. To contend with Old Suan Ni purely with the power of one's Physical Body—what a terrifying Physical Body must that be? Even the young of ancient Vicious Beasts would not be able to withstand a single slap from Shi Jian…
Old Suan Ni's shock and anger grew even more intense. It possessed intelligence and even knew how to feign death to lure its enemy. Its Realm was clearly so much higher than Shi Jian's, yet now it was being suppressed and beaten by Shi Jian! This Human Race youth was like a Heavenly God descending, his body radiant with precious light, his strength terrifyingly powerful! Even when it used its Precious Technique, it couldn't defeat him. They could only fight to a draw.
Now, Shi Jian grew more excited the more he fought, but Old Suan Ni became more dispirited. It was already old and nearing death, with not much vitality left. And now, it was undergoing such an intense battle… Today would likely be its death day. Old Suan Ni let out a mournful cry.
"Kill!" Shi Jian, however, felt exhilarated by the fight; his entire body's blood was boiling, his eyes revealed Divine light, and he appeared incredibly heroic. Previous battles could only be called hunts; today's battle was a true battle.
Several people in the group had actually sparred in the Virtual God Realm. However, when sparring among themselves, it was naturally not appropriate to strike too fiercely. It was merely to familiarize themselves with martial arts, not to use some great killing moves. Now, in this battle with Old Suan Ni, Shi Jian felt a satisfying fight. Various Divine Abilities came to him effortlessly. His gaze was intimidating as he charged towards Old Suan Ni once more.
"Roar!" Old Suan Ni let out a furious roar; this roar was no longer the mournful cry from before. Now, it had no retreat; this battle had to be won. Old Suan Ni was going to fight for its life.
The golden light emanating from its entire body intensified, layer upon layer, spreading outwards like waves. It opened its mouth and exhaled a cloud of mist, which instantly enveloped the entire area.
Old Suan Ni, within the cloud sea, erupted with electric light, transforming into a golden Thunder God! Its Suan Ni Precious Technique was pushed to its extreme; its eyes were cold, and terrifyingly powerful electric light shot from its mouth! The electric light flashed, its power incredibly terrifying, causing the earth to collapse and rocks to fly through the air! The Suan Ni Precious Technique could rival the Nine Heavens' thunder and lightning, terrifying and mysterious!
Shi Jian had intended to use the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist again to clash with Old Suan Ni, but at this moment, he recalled the profound truths within the Original True Understanding. The Original True Understanding recorded scenes of various Divine beings in great battles. The self-sacrificing battles of those top-tier beings had given him countless inspirations.
There were no Precious Techniques recorded in the Original True Understanding, but it contained the profound truths of universal runes. Runes continuously transformed in Shi Jian's palm: lightning runes, flame runes, swift wind runes… various universal runes constantly appeared in his hand. These runes connected into a single stream, emitting a roaring sound.
Finally, these runes countered Old Suan Ni's Precious Technique; Shi Jian's body swayed, changing dozens of movement techniques in the blink of an eye. Either attacking or retreating! The runes in his hand also transformed dozens of times in the blink of an eye. Various universal runes combined, turning decay into wonder, instantly deflecting all the power within the Suan Ni Precious Technique.
"Haha…" Shi Jian laughed; his understanding of runes had advanced further. When fighting others, it was not always necessary to use Peerless Divine Abilities. These ordinary runes, when used well, were enough to rival Peerless Divine Abilities.
Being able to neutralize Old Suan Ni's Precious Technique with ordinary runes indicated that Shi Jian's use of runes had reached a state of complete mastery. He applied what he learned, stepping into a new Realm! Original True Understanding—Shi Jian had truly entered its gates.
With a joyful mood, Shi Jian leaped up onto Old Suan Ni's back, raising his fist and smashing down. Old Suan Ni was already at the end of its rope; that great Divine Ability just now had consumed too much of its essence Qi and spirit; now it was listless and lacking in Qi and blood… It was instantly pressed to the ground by Shi Jian.
Old Suan Ni roared, its entire body radiating golden light, trying to shake Shi Jian off. Being ridden by a Human Race was simply a great humiliation. However, even at its peak, it was not Shi Jian's opponent, let alone now. Shi Jian exuded Divine Might, suppressing it, like a Heavenly God riding a Divine Beast descending to the Lower Realm.
Old Suan Ni could not bear such humiliation and prepared to end its own life, destroying its precious blood and bones so as not to benefit Shi Jian.
Shi Jian noticed its abnormality and quickly summoned the Nether God's Spear to pierce Old Suan Ni's head. Without the protection of runes, Old Suan Ni's Physical Body alone could not resist the Nether God's Spear. Its head was instantly pierced by the Nether God's Spear. The will of Hell instantly suppressed and killed Old Suan Ni. Leaving behind only a perfectly intact corpse…
