Chapter 225 - The Full Combat Strength
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Amidst the jungle, there were two people on the run.
Behind, a huge anaconda was chasing them, roaring constantly.
"Xiao Qingfeng, you can't get away!"
Su Mo exerted his body movements to the maximum and became as quick as the wind. He kept chasing Xiao Qingfeng.
Su Mo was shocked. He did not expect Xiao Qingfeng to be equally fast.
Without the Great-Speed Boots, Su Mo would not have been able to catch up with Xiao Qingfeng.
However, Su Mo did not know that Xiao Qingfeng was as shocked as he was. The latter had the Breeze Martial Soul and had cultivated advanced wind-system body movements and martial arts techniques.
His speed was superior, bringing to martial artists to an equal level.
Xiao Qingfeng was likely the fastest amongst all the martial artists at the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Even the best disciples from the inner gates of the four sects would lose to him in terms of speed.
Yet now Su Mo was as fast as him. He was dazed.
Xiao Qingfeng had witnessed Su Mo's phenomenal speed when he killed the Gale Island disciples earlier.
Back then, he was surprised. But still he did not expect Su Mo to be as fast as him.
However, Su Mo's current speed was equivalent to his!
He was strong enough to hold his ground against a Lv 3 Demonic Beast. Xiao Qingfeng already knew that he could not defeat Su Mo.
However, Xiao Qingfeng was the top two in Sky Rapier Sect 's inner gate. His strength was comparable to Su Mo.
Despite so, he could only try to escape, since there was a Lv 3 Demonic Beast chasing him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xiao Qingfeng's body was wrapped by his Breeze Martial Soul. He kept going sideways toward the denser jungle.
Su Mo was on his tail. No matter how hard Xiao Qingfeng tried, he could not shake off Su Mo.
The Red Anaconda was a Lv 3 Demonic Beast that was capable of flight. It was obviously faster than the two of them. However, it could not attack them easily amidst the dense jungle.
"Roar!"
The Red Anaconda continued to roar angrily. Its huge tail swept around and tore down the trees in the jungle.
Xiao Qingfeng and Su Mo had to evade the Red Anaconda's attacks while running away.
As the pursuit went on, they had traveled more than 100 kilometers.
Their pursuit had caught the attention of many other disciples.
"Look, that's a Lv 3 Demonic Beast! It seems to be after someone."
"That's Xiao Qingfeng, the top two in Sky Rapier Sect's inner gate. The guy behind him seems to be chasing him!"
"That guy is as fast as Xiao Qingfeng!"
"Dear God! That's Su Mo!"
There were many disciples from the four sects that saw the pursuit. All of them moved far away as they did not dare to get near.
Su Mo was closely following Xiao Qingfeng. After another several dozen kilometers, he finally lost his patience.
"Xiao Qingfeng, you can't escape from this!" Su Mo shouted coldly. Seeing that there was no one around, he released his Devouring Martial Spirit.
An overpowering devouring power burst into action as soon as his Devouring Martial Spirit had appeared.
The devouring power swept cross a radius of several hundred meters wide. Not only did Xiao Qingfeng stop suddenly, but the Red Anaconda also paused for a moment.
Su Mo's confidence in catching Xiao Qingfeng was based upon his Devouring Martial Spirit.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Qingfeng was startled. He felt the blood Qi and genuine Qi in his body going through a turmoil.
With that, his speed decreased sharply.
"Die!"
In a blink of an eye, Su Mo was already closing in on Xiao Qingfeng. His Spirit-slayer Sword drew a flashy curve in the air and slashed at Xiao Qingfeng's head.
"Get away from me!" Xiao Qingfeng shouted angrily and tried to block Su Mo's attack with his sword. He could not afford to care about the chaotic genuine Qi in his body.
Even at his peak status, Xiao Qingfeng might not have been able to block Su Mo's attack, let alone when his genuine Qi was in a mess.
Boom!
Xiao Qingfeng was sent crashing into a tree, tearing it apart. He spewed out a mouthful of blood.
"It's over!"
Su Mo went forward and was about to kill Xiao Qingfeng.
At this moment, Su Mo felt an approaching danger. There was a powerful wind coming toward his back.
Whoosh!
Su Mo immediately gave up on killing Xiao Qingfeng and evaded to the side.
Boom!
As the Red Anaconda's tail swept across, it left a deep imprint on the ground.
"Ah!"
A pitiful cry was heard. Its tail hit Xiao Qingfeng instead of Su Mo.
Puff!
Blood and pieces of meat went everywhere.
The Red Anaconda's strength was overbearing for Su Mo, and more so for Xiao Qingfeng.
With a tail whip, Xiao Qingfeng's body blew up. There was no way he could be alive!
Whoosh!
Su Mo was quick to react. He bolted forward and grabbed Xiao Qingfeng's storage pouch.
After taking the storage pouch, Su Mo did not run away again. Instead, he stared at the Red Anaconda.
Since he had taken the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus, there was no need for him to escape!
Lv 3 Demonic Beast? Su Mo was not afraid of it.
Boom!
Su Mo's vigor was at its peak. His Devouring Martial Spirit was floating behind him, releasing its terrifying devouring power to the surroundings.
Xiao Qingfeng's blood essence, and his martial soul, were consumed in an instant.
A wave of overwhelming sword will soared up into the air, stirring up the wind and clouds.
The eruption of Wind sword will!
"Die!"
Su Mo mustered all his strength at this moment and did not hold back. This was his full combat strength.
Spirit-slayer Sword was glowing brightly. A stream of sword Qi 100 meters long slashed at the Red Anaconda.
The Red Anaconda was enraged. How dare the insignificant human initiate an attack before it rather than run away?
Its thick tail struck again, causing sonic booms on its path.
Pom!
Its tail and the stream of sword Qi clashed. The sword Qi instantly blew up, and demonic blood was spewed everywhere. The powerful force tore apart dozens of trees in the vicinity.
With the help of sword will, Su Mo's combat force increased tremendously. He could finally break through the Red Anaconda's defense, and his attack left a foot long wound on its tail.
"Again!"
Su Mo's fighting desire was off the charts. As his sword radiance flashed continuously, he engaged himself in an epic battle with the Red Anaconda. The sound of their battle could be heard from miles away.
The wounded Red Anaconda's blood was flowing toward Su Mo constantly. The blood essence of a Lv 3 demonic beast that entered Su Mo's body was unimaginably vast and strong.
Su Mo cultivated the Elephant's Strength Skill with the blood Qi that he was absorbing, and elephant shadows appeared on his body.
Su Mo's physical body strength was increasing rapidly. His physical strength was already equivalent to the power of a martial artist at the peak Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm. Now that he had absorbed the vast amount of blood Qi, the golden glow on him was even brighter. His physical body had progressed by another level.
In just a brief moment, Su Mo was equivalent to a martial artist at Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm with his physical body strength alone.
Apart from its Qi of blood essence, the Red Anaconda's demonic power was being devoured by Su Mo as well.
Although demonic power and genuine Qi had different characteristics, they both originated from the Spiritual Qi. The former was equally useful to Su Mo.
Once Su Mo had purified the demonic Qi, the leftover would be a pure aura.
However, as a Lv 3 demonic beast, the Red Anaconda's control was incomparable to that of a martial artist at Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Su Mo could only devour a limited amount of its demonic power. Hence, it was only slightly affected.
Boom!
Su Mo sword struck the Red Anaconda again. It left another deep imprint on its body, and its blood gushed out like a stream of water.
Despite its size, the Red Anaconda's vigor was decreasing after it had lost so much blood.
"Roar!"
The Red Anaconda roared angrily, before suddenly flying away at a high speed.
The Lv 3 demonic beast, the Red Anaconda, had unexpectedly chosen to escape.
