Chapter 208: I'm Familiar with This


Lu Ren's eyes flickered, and the High-Frequency Vibrating Sword in his hand moved in sync with his body. As the various hormones in his body surged with his will, they began to operate at a normal full load.

Now dressed in the Fine Scale Combat Suit, his whole body was visibly swollen with muscle. Lu Ren was filled with an overwhelming Power from his formidable Physique.

He stomped his foot, shattering the rock beneath him. As the shattered stones flew away, the sound of the sword suddenly tore through the air.

Clang!!

Xu Fu abruptly turned his head to look at Lu Ren, who was shooting toward him. He swiftly leaped upward, actually avoiding Lu Ren's sword strike.

"Huh?!"

Xu Fu looked down in surprise, seeing that Lu Ren had already grabbed his ankle with one hand. Meeting his slightly cold gaze, Xu Fu then saw countless sword shadows fill his view.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Fu was sliced into dozens of pieces by Lu Ren.

"Ding, you caused an unexpected attack on Xu Fu, and it seems he took some damage."

How can you call this just a little damage?

Lu Ren was genuinely a bit speechless. Why do these guys become less and less human the further they go!?

Without any self-awareness, Lu Ren just landed and saw Xu Fu, who had been chopped into dozens of pieces, suddenly stop falling and, in an instant, shrink into a ball.

Then, in less than ten seconds and under the eyes of everyone, Xu Fu actually reappeared.

"What the hell is this?"

Even Wen Lianggong, who was as calm as a mountain collapse in front of him, couldn't help but curse.

This was entirely beyond what he could imagine.

"Bright Awakening can even do this?!"

Wen Lianggong turned to ask Lu Ren.

"...Should probably be able to."

Lu Ren expressed uncertainty.

Xu Fu looked at Lu Ren's Longsword with a hint of curiosity and said, "This sword is the sharpest I have ever encountered in my life, yet it has no spiritual aura. How was it forged?"

Wen Lianggong swallowed hard, and under the gathering magnetic fields around him, massive arcs of electricity burst out from his body. Then, with a fierce stream, he formed a wave that charged forward like a White Tiger.

Xu Fu turned his head to look, and floating in mid-air, he couldn't help but comment, "This is the most rudimentary use of Power I've seen in Bright Awakening Martial Arts focused solely on refining the body."

Unexpectedly, Xu Fu didn't dodge or evade, allowing Wen Lianggong's fist to land, passing straight through his chest.

"What the hell?"

It was as if hitting a virtual image, without any point of impact, like punching air.

Lu Ren's expression was grim. He clearly saw that Xu Fu seemed to have predicted Wen Lianggong's punch trajectory and then partially dematerialized his body.

It was a cellular-level shift, where the opponent actively created a hole in his body along the punch trajectory to avoid direct contact.

An extremely exaggerated body control ability.

Even Lu Ren couldn't do such cellular manipulation, or rather, he could, but not as effortlessly as Xu Fu.

He needed to launch an unexpected attack to injure his opponent.

That's something he's very skilled at!

"Wen Zhenshou, cover me."

Lu Ren decisively retreated to the edge of the tomb entrance, picking up the heavy sniper rifle he had prepared earlier.

"Let me borrow this."

"Oh, what?"

The soldier specializing in firearms instinctively tightened his grip before staggering, and then Lu Ren took it from him.

Lu Ren skillfully pulled the bolt, reversed the muzzle, and as Xu Fu's attention was drawn by Wen Lianggong, Lu Ren was about to shoot when his face suddenly tensed.

He then grabbed the professional sniper.

"Come with me."

The Xu Fu, who had been watching him all along, didn't relax even a bit due to his sudden withdrawal.

After placing this confused sniper clad in Exoskeleton Power Armor in a high position, Lu Ren whispered.

"The opponent can't block unexpected attacks, so make sure he doesn't see your attack. Shooting and relocating is best."

"Got it, understood."

Hearing the affirmative response, Lu Ren turned and stepped out, the Longsword cleaving the air, tearing through the skies like a white rainbow piercing the sun.

He swung a sword strike at Xu Fu's head.

Seeing this, Xu Fu indeed turned his head and showed a mysterious smile looking at the Longsword.

However, the descending Longsword suddenly turned, slashing at the empty air beside him. Before he could react, the smile on his face froze, and a sudden sharp pain from his abdomen left him in shock.

Bang!

The Phoenix Falcon Fist with immense penetration power blasted a large hole in Xu Fu's abdomen, brutally blowing apart the organs inside.

Wen Lianggong beside him was slightly stunned and then immediately reacted, his face filled with excitement.

"Damn, so that's how it is, this bastard can't defend against unexpected attacks."

It's mainly because Xu Fu was too pretentious, or rather, as an Alchemist, although he knew the essence of Fist Technique and could judge its merits, he himself had never practiced it.

He could only talk big.

In the ensuing time, Xu Fu, who couldn't react at all, found himself getting beaten, unable to block Lu Ren's two sword strikes and failing to fend off Lu Ren's fists, while at least one of Wen Lianggong's punches or kicks landed amid their flurry.

In the distance, a professional super sniper fired sporadically.

However, amid the overwhelming assault by the two Bright Awakening Martial Taoist Family members, he only had time to fire two shots before stopping.

The speed was indeed too fast.

Moreover, both Lu Ren and Wen Lianggong had the means to gather magnetic fields, enabling them to hover and move temporarily for three to four seconds.

In the end, Xu Fu's entire body was beaten into a pulp, and only then did Lu Ren and Wen Lianggong reluctantly stop.

Wen Lianggong panted heavily, almost collapsing on the ground in exhaustion.

"This time... huff... this time should be dead, right?"

"Ding, you caused some damage to Xu Fu; his Life Energy seems to have decreased, with some changes in his body structure."

Lu Ren said solemnly, "Probably not enough."

After a pause, Lu Ren glanced at Wen Lianggong, who had almost exhausted his Physical Strength within these few minutes, weak and feeble as if severely ill.

"Leave it to me from here on, it seems your old ailments are affecting you."

Wen Lianggong wanted to laugh heartily, but then gritted his teeth, rubbing his head.

"Ow, ow, ow... back then, a bullet pierced through my brain, causing some issues when I reached Bright Awakening; my brain always feels a bit off."

It wasn't just his brain.

Perhaps his heart also suffered some serious injury in the past, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. As for Bright Awakening, he likely broke his limits amid life-and-death situations.

When Wen Lianggong wanted to say more, he found himself too weak, and could only nod slightly, his gaze complex.

"Never thought meeting you would place such a heavy burden."

Lu Ren rarely showed a hint of a smile.

"You have carried this burden for decades, once in a while, to relax isn't a bad thing."

This Wen Lianggong, over close to a hundred years, had turned Huaxia's west into an iron fortress, preventing anyone from entering Huaxia from the west. With his pair of iron fists, Wen Lianggong, the Subduer of the White Tiger, ranked among the top globally.
