Chapter 137 A Spirit Soaring to the Heavens
Xiao Chong's expression was contorted, yet his eyes shone brightly, though a faint red light flickered in their depths. In Yokoyama's view, this combination of gaze and expression subtly revealed a strange undercurrent of madness.
What surprised Yokoyama the most was the change in Xiao Chong's skin. For some reason, a faint blue aura was wrapped around the skin on his neck, beneath which were bluish-black patterns that appeared and disappeared, making them elusive.
These patterns are highly three-dimensional, like the scales of some kind of creature, constantly undulating and extending downwards along the neck.
As it extended, the blue aura became thinner and thinner, and the patterns faded. When it passed between the chest and abdomen and just reached the waist, the blue aura and patterns finally disappeared, as if absorbed by the body, and the skin returned to normal.
These changes were actually quite rapid, completed in the blink of an eye. If Yokoyama hadn't been drawn by the three muffled thuds and happened to look up to see them, it would have been as if nothing had happened at all. For a fleeting moment, he even thought he was seeing things.
"What kind of technique is this? I've never heard of it before. Could it be that I'm under too much pressure lately and am hallucinating?"
And those three muffled thuds just now were clearly caused by an excess of internal energy that burst through the acupoints.
Judging from the aura emanating from him, he has likely broken through in his martial arts cultivation and entered the Martial Life Realm.
Yokoyama's mind raced with shock and utter astonishment.
While breakthroughs in the heat of battle are extremely rare, they are not unheard of. Martial artists are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and some exceptionally talented individuals will unleash astonishing potential under immense pressure.
Therefore, while Yokoyama was surprised by this, he wasn't entirely unexpected. However, the astonishing change that occurred to Xiao Cong upon his breakthrough was something Yokoyama found difficult to comprehend.
He came from a powerful clan and considered himself to know a lot about various cultivation techniques, but he couldn't recall any technique that would produce such a strange phenomenon during practice.
Under Yokoyama's astonished and uncertain gaze, Xiao Chong suddenly let out a wild roar, his aura becoming even stronger, as if an astonishing power within him was about to erupt at any moment, causing Yokoyama's mind to tremble violently.
The two unicorn bulls, one blue and one white, seemed to sense the threat from Xiao Chong. They abandoned Hengshan, let out a low growl, and turned to run towards Xiao Chong.
Xiao Chong had just entered the Martial Life Realm, and his Yuan Power had not yet fully stabilized, causing it to surge wildly throughout his body.
Seeing the two giant bulls charging towards him, he immediately shouted and leaped several feet into the air, using the momentum of his fall to punch the white bull's head.
This punch was as fast as a meteor, as swift as lightning, capable of splitting mountains and shattering peaks. Its speed was so great that even the air around the fist was annihilated, producing a series of crisp cracking sounds.
boom!
A louder and stronger explosion rang out as Xiao Chong slammed his fist into the bull's head, then used the recoil to flip over and land lightly on the ground.
The white ox, struck by the blow, suddenly reared up and let out a low roar, about to swing its horns at Xiao Chong. But after taking only two steps, its body swayed, its two front hooves buckled, and it shook its head, clearly somewhat dazed from the attack.
Moo!
Seeing his beloved being bullied, the green ox became enraged. After pawing wildly at the ground with its four hooves, it raised its two front legs and stomped down on Xiao Chong.
The one-horned bull is known for its strength, and the green bull, being enormous and enraged, exerted a force of more than tens of thousands of pounds with each strike.
If an ordinary martial artist were to be so thoroughly defeated, even if their cultivation level were one or two realms higher than Xiao Chong's, they would absolutely not be able to handle it.
At least in Yokoyama's eyes as an observer, even with his martial arts skills, he could only temporarily avoid the attack and would never dare to confront it head-on with his physical body.
But Xiao Chong remained unfazed. His madness intensified, and with a roar, he aimed at the ox's rapidly descending forelegs and met it with his leg.
Click!
A sound of bones cracking reached his ears, and Yokoyama's heart clenched. He closed his eyes, unable to bear looking any longer.
Brother Xiao, you are far too overconfident. Even I cannot withstand such force, so how could you possibly block it?
Given the distance between them, it was certainly too late to come to the rescue at this moment, so Yokoyama could only pray in his heart that Xiao Chong's leg would not be smashed to pieces.
But why didn't we hear Brother Xiao's screams, while the roar of the One-Horned Bull sounded so desolate?
Yokoyama secretly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Chong and the one-horned bull.
Xiao Chong was holding the shinbone of one calf in both hands, while jumping and hopping on the other leg, his face contorted in pain.
The blue, one-horned bull, however, was unsteady on its feet, bellowing bitterly as it swayed and one leg hung limply, swinging wildly in the wind.
So the cow's leg was broken? Yokoyama rubbed his eyes hard, feeling incredibly frustrated and a little aggrieved.
I was actually looked down upon by a cow!
Two one-horned bulls abandoned their master, a martial artist, to fight a mere upstart who had just entered the Martial Life Realm. But they met their match; one was disoriented, and the other suffered a broken leg. How could the master, himself, possibly accept this?
Thinking of this, Yokoyama became furious. Before the white ox could recover, he stepped forward, grabbed its horns, and started punching its head repeatedly.
To be honest, the Martial Master realm is no joke. Just now, the two giant bulls were incredibly lively, and Hengshan was fighting two against one, so he didn't have a good solution for the time being.
Now the situation has changed, and Yokoyama is burning with rage, unleashing his full potential. Focusing on dealing with a white bull that has no idea how to resist is a piece of cake for him.
Thump! Thump! Thump... Bang!
With a final punch imbued with vital energy, the bull's head emitted a muffled "hiss" as the white bull's skull was ripped off.
Alright, I've vented half my anger, now it's time to settle scores with the Blue Ox! Yokoyama glanced at the blood-soaked White Ox, then turned his head towards the Blue Ox.
Wait, where's the bull? Why did such a huge, one-horned bull just disappear like that, leaving only a mess of beef sauce on the ground?
Seeing Xiao Chong standing in front of a bull's head, brandishing a hammer that was almost as big as a millstone, with a murderous look on his face, Hengshan was a little stunned.
Snapped!
The hammer fell, smashing the perfectly good bull's head into pieces, and a beast core, almost the size of an infant's head, rolled out from inside.
What a treasure! No wonder it's the King of Bulls; even its core is so magnificent. Remembering that the core inside the white bull's body hadn't been removed yet, Yokoyama turned around and reached into the bull's head to rummage around.
"Found it!" Yokoyama held the beast core in his hands, about to put it into his pocket, when suddenly he felt a chill on his back, as if a murderous aura pierced his skin.
Turning around abruptly, he saw Xiao Chong staring at the beast core in his hand, his eyes glowing red, and an iron hammer that looked as if it were about to explode and injure someone at any moment.
Has this guy gone mad? It's just a beast core, you can take it if you want, why hurt the brotherhood?
Looking at the huge iron hammer in Xiao Chong's hand, and then at the beef sauce on the ground, Yokoyama realized that he might not be able to catch it.
