My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 650 - 641: Deeply Buried Mount Everest
Chapter 650: Chapter 641: Deeply Buried Mount Everest
At that moment, Su Xuan and Jing Gangzhi were like fire and water, their fists colliding like flashes of lightning and flint. Su Xuan’s fist was not large, but Jing Gangzhi’s fist was easily five or six times bigger than that of an ordinary person, as he had deliberately expanded his body, and his power had also grown several times. One could imagine the difficulties Su Xuan faced in response.
Boom!
Their fists finally collided, producing a thunderous explosion sound, a result of the intermingling energy waves of the cultivators.
Jing Gangzhi, with a puff, actually spat blood.
Li Tianming was stunned, "Damn, is he really going to lose?"
Jing Gangzhi’s eyes revealed a look of disbelief. How could Su Xuan, a young man, be so strong? He himself had used the power of Power Transformation Second Layer and had already achieved the level of Power Transformation. Could it be that Su Xuan was even stronger???
"Absolutely impossible! Even a genius can’t have such a monstrous rate of improvement."
Jing Gangzhi thought silently to himself.
Looking at Su Xuan again, no changes seemed apparent on the surface, but his heart was also shocked. Jing Gangzhi, as the National Guardian Divine Monk of Tibet, was formidable indeed; Su Xuan used the power of Power Transformation Third Layer while Jing Gangzhi used the Power Transformation Second Layer, it could be said that Su Xuan narrowly won.
This was already Su Xuan’s last resort, and he had finally won.
Seeing Jing Gangzhi spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Su Xuan laughed triumphantly. His journey had been fraught with danger, but it seemed the rest of the tasks would involve seriously searching for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
"Su Xuan, are you alright?"
Qiuyue ran over to support Su Xuan, who was also somewhat unsteady. Despite his dominance in terms of cultivated power over Jing Gangzhi, the fierce force of Jing Gangzhi’s punches had still caused some internal injuries to Su Xuan.
Li Tianming was anxious. Jing Gangzhi had just lost like that? How could this be acceptable? He had hired many experts and yet couldn’t kill a mere Su Xuan, a fact hard to accept for anyone.
"Su Xuan, there might have been some misunderstandings between us, please don’t take it to heart, alright?"
Now that Jing Gangzhi had lost, Li Tianming no longer had any reason to act arrogantly. He shouted from a distance, hoping Su Xuan wouldn’t kill him right there, as this was a deep part of Mount Everest’s Gourd Valley, where if one died, they might never be discovered.
Surrounded and blocked by many experts, Qiuyue and Su Xuan had long been harboring anger. Qiuyue said to Li Tianming, "Ha ha, now you know what it feels to fear death. Where’s the courage you had when you were looking for people to kill us?"
"No, no, that was all a misunderstanding. I arranged for people mainly to bring you back to the Song Family, to inform you of Song Shuangshuang’s whereabouts. There was truly no malice, heaven can witness."
As he spoke, Li Tianming was almost on the verge of kneeling. He had arrived high and mighty but now immediately turned into a shrinking turtle, a change so swift that it made Su Xuan embarrassed.
Watching Li Tianming speaking obsequiously, looking like a drowning dog, Su Xuan couldn’t help but find it funny. Some people are like that; they love to bully others from a high position, but when they fall on hard times, they appear pitiable.
"Who said I lost!"
Suddenly, a hoarse yet powerful voice erupted from behind Su Xuan. It was Jing Gangzhi. He had just spat a large mouthful of blood, and everyone thought he was about to die; unexpectedly, he still had the strength to stand up again.
Su Xuan frowned, realizing he had underestimated Jing Gangzhi!
Li Tianming clung to this last straw for dear life. Now he did not dare boast in front of Su Xuan, afraid that if Jing Gangzhi lost again, he would be even closer to death, unsure of what Su Xuan would do to him after killing Jing Gangzhi.
"Su Xuan, can your body still hold up?"
When Qiuyue was supporting Su Xuan earlier, she felt his body shaking and trembling intensely from overexertion; she was worried that Su Xuan couldn’t hold up much longer.
Instead, Su Xuan smiled at her slightly and said calmly, "A man cannot admit he’s not up to it."
At that moment, Qiuyue truly realized how exhausting it was to be a man. Even though he couldn’t hold on, he still tried his best to protect himself; Su Xuan’s image grew greatly in her eyes to a near-worshipful stature.
"Su Xuan, you don’t think I’ve lost, do you? I was just testing your strength just now."
Jing Gangzhi said with a smile, but blood still trickled from his mouth, showing extreme tenacity. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been long dead by now.
Su Xuan had just used Power Transformation Third Layer, which was his trump card. Could it be that Jing Gangzhi still had greater strength unleased?
Su Xuan thought to himself, considering it nearly impossible. If Jing Gangzhi truly had more strength, why didn’t he reveal it sooner rather than waiting almost till his life was nearly over to use his ultimate move?
Su Xuan couldn’t understand Jing Gangzhi’s tactic and even felt he was bluffing, truly having no real strength left.
"Whatever you have, bring it on!"
Su Xuan was betting that Jing Gangzhi had no more aces up his sleeve. Now, both were nearing physical exhaustion, lacking even the strength to throw punches. How could they continue to fight?
Whoom!
Suddenly, Jing Gangzhi’s body violently trembled, reverting to its original form. He had appeared fatigued before due to insufficient Inner Strength to sustain his formidable body. Now, restored to his original physique, his complexion seemed even more rosy, which was fatal for Su Xuan.
Whoosh!
Jing Gangzhi’s body flickered as he moved in front of Su Xuan. His speed was only slightly slower than at the beginning—Jing Gangzhi still had strength reserved!
Su Xuan was greatly taken aback, having not anticipated this sorcerer’s strength to be so formidable.
"Su Xuan, you should be at Power Transformation Third Layer, right? Coincidentally, my true strength is at the Fourth Layer, which firmly suppresses yours by one level, plus my physical condition is stronger than yours. So you see, it’s simply impossible for you to defeat me!"
Jing Gangzhi spoke the truth. Su Xuan’s strength was indeed at the Power Transformation Third Layer, making defeating Jing Gangzhi as hard as reaching Heaven.
Upon hearing these words, Li Tianming felt as if he had walked through Hell and been reborn. The previous listlessness was swept away—Su Xuan couldn’t beat Jing Gangzhi, which was excellent!
"Su Xuan, you can’t win, haha, to think I just humbled myself to ask you for help. Now, it looks like you should be begging me instead, haha..."
Li Tianming said smugly, truly having believed for a moment that Su Xuan had defeated Jing Gangzhi and even regretted spending a fortune to invite the seemingly inept Jing Gangzhi. It turned out he hadn’t used his real strength yet, and that was too close—almost giving him a heart attack.
"Su Xuan, this girl here is quite pretty, I’ll take her!"
Li Tianming lasciviously eyed Qiuyue, who was wearing a snug leather jacket that perfectly outlined her figure, revealing a neck as pristine as the snow atop Mount Everest, tempting a kiss.
"I would rather die than yield to you."
Qiuyue stated fiercely.
This was something Su Xuan needed not worry too much about, as Qiuyue used to be an assassin with great skills, particularly in the use of poison. If Li Tianming dared to force himself on her, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
Su Xuan now had to focus wholly on preparing for the fight with Jing Gangzhi.
Jing Gangzhi’s body began to slowly heal itself, a high-level cultivation skill that Su Xuan was not very familiar with. The Military God had mentioned it before, but when cultivating, Su Xuan had never followed up on it, so in just a few minutes, Jing Gangzhi’s recovery surpassed that of Su Xuan significantly.
Kill!
This time, Jing Gangzhi made no fancy moves, charging straight forward. Su Xuan had no chance to dodge, as in a high-level duel, the opponent could predict his dodging.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Since Su Xuan had used Power Transformation Third Layer just a moment ago, some residual energy from his cultivation technically enabled him to resist a few moves. However, if the fight continued, Su Xuan would either be severely injured or killed.
Jing Gangzhi sneered, having felt Su Xuan’s energy decline from their contact. It seemed only a matter of time before Su Xuan would lose.
"Su Xuan, don’t resist stubbornly. If really needed, I can become Jing Gangzhi’s disciple."
Qiuyue said, recalling that Jing Gangzhi had mentioned he would spare Su Xuan’s life if she agreed to become his disciple.
Li Tianming didn’t care about any disciple matters, and told Jing Gangzhi, "Teach Su Xuan a good lesson. He dared to mess with my fiancée and even slept with her. I want to kill him myself for daring to cuckold me. It seems you’re tired of living!"
Li Tianming cursed and ranted, seeing Su Xuan as his nemesis. Initially interested in Song Shuangshuang, Su Xuan had taken her by force. Now, seeing Qiuyue looking so enchanting and their close relationship, it was clear Su Xuan had also taken advantage of her.
The punch from Jing Gangzhi was fierce, pursuing relentlessly, gradually wearing down Su Xuan’s strength, his defenses growing more frantic.
Jing Gangzhi grew even more triumphant, his Power Transformation Fourth Layer strength completely overpowering Su Xuan at the Third Layer.
Upon truly realizing Su Xuan’s strength, Jing Gangzhi was shocked, as Su Xuan, in his early twenties, had already achieved such fearsome cultivational strength. If not eradicated promptly, Su Xuan would undoubtedly become a threat in the future; Jing Gangzhi sensed that he would no longer be a match for Su Xuan, considering Su Xuan’s age and the many years left for cultivation, whereas Jing Gangzhi was already fifty, with little chance of breaking through to the Divine Entry Stage.
Bang!
Eventually, Su Xuan was unexpectedly struck in the chest by Jing Gangzhi, causing him to stagger back more than ten steps before stopping, feeling as if all his internal organs were churning violently, the discomfort unbearable.
Su Xuan’s face turned ashen. His strength was utterly depleted; continuing the fight was futile. Was he really going to lose like this today?
Su Xuan felt unwilling to accept this. He hadn’t yet found the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, and Li Yuanyuan in Qiutian City was still counting on the Snow Lotus to save her life. If he fell now, how could Qiuyue find her? It was impossible.
Su Xuan mustered his strength to stand up, but Jing Gangzhi, harboring no mercy this time and seeing Su Xuan’s losing momentum, seized the opportunity to strike with another blow!
This was simply fatal. Jing Gangzhi’s strike had the force of a steamroller. If it hit an ordinary person, they would be crushed to bits. Though Su Xuan was defeated, his foundation remained, but now with his energy depleted, he could only barely defend.
Boom!
Su Xuan’s body was forced back dozens of steps before stopping. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away and then chuckled, "Damn, I didn’t expect to die here on Mount Everest. What an unexpected way to go."
