"Die!"
Xu Yuntian's complexion was fierce. The long sword in his hand thrust out like a bolt of lightning. It was so fast that an ordinary martial artist wouldn't be able to catch it. It ruthlessly stabbed toward Xia Ping's chest.
This was the terrifying profundity of the second move of the Thunderous Swordsmanship, Thunder Penetrating Ear. When the sword was executed, it was swift, like a bolt of lightning. Usually, the enemy would only hear the sound of thunder before the sword would pierce through the enemy's chest.
He had practiced for a full ten years before he finally grasped this sure-kill move. Normally, he would not use it at all, because once he did, it would be a matter of life and death.
Bang!
This strike was unsurprising as it landed solidly on Xia Ping's chest. Immediately, the air exploded and thunder rumbled like a volcanic eruption with terrifying power.
"Die! Die! Die!"
Xu Yuntian roared out, blue veins popping out on his forehead. He was practically circulating all the power in his body, using the true qi of a four stage of the martial artist realm to the limit. This was his peak attack.
With a bang, Xia Ping was forced back more than ten steps by this sword strike, and a deep ravine appeared on the ground. Kacha kacha sounds could be heard, and dust billowed, creating a shocking scene.
However, Xu Yuntian quickly realized that his sword was unable to pierce through Xia Ping's chest. It was still firmly blocked by a layer of true qi, unable to move an inch.
"How is that possible? Are you kidding me? What kind of protective technique did you cultivate? Why can't you pierce through it? Why can't my Thunder Sword Art pierce through your heart? Why is this happening?!"
Xu Yuntian was on the verge of collapse. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. His Thunderclap Swordsmanship was indestructible. It was a grandmaster level sword technique.
But now, he believed that he had used the highest profound meaning and was incomparably tyrannical. He could even kill a five stage of the martial artist realm expert. But now, he could not pierce through the chest of a puny second stage of the martial artist realm expert.
If this was a joke, then it was a big one.
"I have to thank you!"
Xia Ping took a step forward, and as he did, his energy surged, making him twice as powerful as before. He looked like a primordial beast, his true energy so powerful that it caused the air to vibrate.
With a bang, the steel sword in Xu Yuntian's hand was shattered by his true energy, transforming into more than ten pieces of metal. The pieces fell to the ground, creating a huge crater.
"If not for your move stimulating the medicinal effects of the Nine Revolutions Essence Enhancing Pill in my body, I would not have been able to clear my third aperture so quickly and advance to the third stage of the martial artist realm."
He could feel the surge of true energy within his body, circulating madly within his meridians. A vast amount of medicinal power was converted into true energy, flowing towards his third acupoint. The cells, bones, muscles, and other parts of his body were constantly strengthening.
This medicinal strength was the "Nine Revolutions Essence Enhancing Pill!"
Back in the Black Moon Tower, he had used the Nine Revolutions Essence Enhancing Pill's medicinal efficacy to break through to the second stage of the martial artist realm. However, that was only a small portion of the Nine Revolutions Essence Enhancing Pill's medicinal efficacy. Most of the medicinal efficacy was hidden deep within his body, waiting for Xia Ping to constantly stimulate it.
This was the true value of the Nine Revolutions Essence Enhancing Pill. It was desired by countless martial artists. Its medicinal efficacy was mild, unlike that of other top-grade pills. Its medicinal efficacy was fierce and violent, erupting all at once.
Powerful martial artists could withstand it, but weak ones could not. They would explode and die.
However, the Nine Revolutions Origin Fostering Pill would not be like this. Even low-level martial artists could consume it because its medicinal efficacy was divided into nine stages. The medicinal efficacy that erupted from each stage was stronger and fiercer than the previous stage.
When a martial artist's body reached a certain requirement, the Nine Revolution Essence Enhancing Pill would automatically erupt, continuously strengthening the true qi within the martial artist's body and promoting their cultivation. It was extremely safe.
Previously, when Xia Ping took it for the first time, it was the Nine Revolutions Essence Enhancing Pill's first rank medicinal strength. But now, because of Xu Yuntian's threat, the second rank of medicinal strength has erupted. The remaining rank seven medicinal strength would only stop when the Nine Revolutions Essence Enhancing Pill's medicinal strength was exhausted.
"Breaking through at the last minute, he actually broke through at the last minute." "Is this kid a freak?!"
"He's definitely a purebred pervert. I've only read about breaking through in the last minute in textbooks. It's just a story. I didn't expect someone to really do it."
"What a monster. This guy is definitely an unrivaled monster. No wonder the Giant Company recruited this kid. "Just this talent alone is enough to shock countless geniuses."
"Just at the second stage of the martial artist realm, he is already so monstrous. To advance to the third stage of the martial artist realm, isn't this fellow defying the heavens?"
"Truly heaven-defying."
The examinees at the side were all stupefied, not daring to believe what they saw. No one knew better than them how difficult it was to break through in martial artist realm.
Moreover, it was a breakthrough at the last moment. This was simply impossible, yet this Xia Ping forcefully produced such a miracle, shocking countless people.
"This, this!"
Chu Rong was speechless. She remembered that the first time they met, this boy also broke through in front of her. She thought that it was a coincidence, a miracle, and it would never happen again.
But now it was happening again. It was unbelievable.
"Xu Yang, do it. Do it now."
Xu Yuntian felt a threat from Xia Ping. It was a fatal threat. He couldn't help but roar, "Don't just stand by and watch the show. Join forces and kill this brat. "Kill him immediately so that we don't drag things out!"
He was completely frightened by Xia Ping. If he could achieve a breakthrough at the last minute, there was nothing he could not do. It was no wonder he became a member of the Giant Company. His talent was too terrifying.
It was indeed as the master had said. If such a genius did not die, the Xu family would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
Xu Yang and the others thought that Xu Yuntian alone would be enough to kill Xia Ping, so they stood by and watched the show. However, when they heard Xu Yuntian's roar, they woke up from their reverie.
All of them wanted to rush over and join hands to deal with Xia Ping.
"It's too late!"
Xia Ping charged forward and drove his true qi. The fourth move of the Myriad Beasts Fist—Barbaric Bulls Crash!
He was like a Primordial Diabolical Bull, his entire body exuding terrifying strength. His muscles bulged, and true qi covered his entire body. It was as if he was covered in a layer of armor, and he was invincible. He charged forward ruthlessly, and even a mountain seemed to be able to collapse from his collision.
"Ah!"
Xu Yuntian wanted to throw a punch, but he couldn't block it at all. After being struck by Xia Ping like this, it was as if he had been attacked by a Primordial Diabolical Bull. The bones in his fist were instantly shattered.
In fact, this surge of energy spread out inch by inch, hurting his organs. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face was pale, and the pain in his entire body spread out as though he were being bitten by countless ants.
He had never experienced such intense pain in his life.
But before Xu Yuntian could fly away, Xia Ping grabbed him by the neck.
