Chapter 73: Five Thunderbolts Strike the Top

  "What's going on here? Who can tell me what's happening? Heaven, are you playing a trick on me? Why did I pay such a huge price to use the forbidden move and forcibly break through a boundary, only for him to suddenly break through another boundary at this time? What was the point of my paying such a huge price?"

  Xu Mo's heart was screaming, this situation would be unbearable for anyone. Xu Mo had paid a huge price, using the forbidden move, he might never be able to break through to the Wang Extreme Realm from the Hou Extreme Realm in his lifetime. Having paid such a great price, it would have been worth it if he could kill Shangguan Yu, but now Shangguan Yu had also broken through.

  After fighting for so long, Xū Mò had also lost his confidence in winning. Previously when they were at the same level, Shàngguān Yǔ could already suppress him with those strange martial skills. Originally if he was one level higher than Shàngguān Yǔ, it should have been easy to kill Shàngguān Yǔ. But Shàngguān Yǔ had also broken through to the Human Emperor realm, so could Xū Mò still win a hundred percent?

  Xu Mo clenched the silent knife in his hand, staring at Shangguan Yu opposite him. Xu Mo was filled with indignation and resentment. Thinking of the heavy price he had paid this time, Xu Mo's eyes turned red again. Last time it was anger, but this time it was hatred. For Shangguan Yu, Xu Mo's grievances were boundless. If he didn't kill Shangguan Yu, he really couldn't vent his hatred.

  Xu Mo attributed all the bad things to Shangguan Yu. Looking at Shangguan Yu was like looking at the murderer of his father, and the boundless hatred was something that even the crowd under the virtual arena could feel. "Shangguan Yu, I must kill you! Not killing you is not enough to vent my hatred! If I can't kill you, let me be struck by five thunders!" Xu Mo made a ruthless vow in his heart.

  Shangguan Yu looked at Xu Mo in shock, he didn't hit Xu Mo's body, so how did Xu Mo spit out a mouthful of blood? After spitting out the blood, Xu Mo's expression changed continuously. Until now, Xu Mo stared at him with his eyes red, he couldn't understand why Xu Mo had such great hatred towards him. Although Shangguan Yu wanted to kill Xu Mo, Xu Mo shouldn't have such great hatred towards him either.

  Xu Mo had also wanted to kill Shangguan Yu before, and now Shangguan Yu wants to kill Xu Mo. Isn't this very normal? Xu Mo has also lived for over 20 years, it's impossible that he would hate Shangguan Yu so much because of this, right? Shangguan Yu shook his head, let him hate then, anyway today he will definitely kill Xu Mo.

  Looking at Xu Mo's appearance, he was already irreconcilable with Shangguan Yu. Since that's the case, what else did he have to be soft about? If Xu Mo escaped this time, would Shangguan Yu really be able to keep his life if Hou Ji Jing's Xu Mo wanted to kill him? Unless Shangguan Yu hid here and never came out, but how could that be possible?

  Having received the support of Yuwen's more majestic aura, the two dragons, one black and one white, became even more ferocious. All of Yuwen's injuries had healed, and he had fully recovered to his peak state. Moreover, Yuwen had now broken through a boundary, to be precise, he was much more formidable than in his peak state.

  Feeling the overflowing aura within his body, Shangguan Yu was filled with confidence. With such a powerful aura supporting him, the might of his martial skills would definitely be able to overcome another level. Moreover, being able to break through another boundary again could also be considered an unexpected joy. Shangguan Yu had also discovered earlier that breaking through a boundary seemed to be much more difficult for him compared to other warriors.

  "Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun!"

  Shangguan Yu's right hand held the gun, and two dragons, one black and one white, attacked Xu Mo's body. This time, the two dragons seemed more agile, and their phantoms also solidified a lot. Shangguan Yu's You Long spear stabbed towards Xu Mo's throat, this spear was as swift as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it had already stabbed into Xu Mo's throat.

  Clang

  At the critical moment, Xu Mo took a step back, but his silent knife was directly chopped onto the gun handle of You Long Gun. The You Long Gun was chopped like this, and it deviated from its original trajectory. However, there was a thread of fresh blood on Xu Mo's throat, if Xu Mo hadn't reacted quickly, this shot would have taken his life.

  Shangguan Yu didn't say much, only giving a cold smile. You Long Gun stabbed towards Xu Mo's throat again, but this time Xu Mo was prepared and used his silent knife to block it. Shangguan Yu took a step forward, his right hand sliding from the gun handle to the tip. Xu Mo widened his eyes, knowing he had probably fallen into Shangguan Yu's trap this time.

  "Mahamudra Palm"

  Xu Mo reacted, but it was already too late. Shangguan Yu's left hand slapped Xu Mo repeatedly, one palm after another, and it could be seen that Shangguan Yu had been planning this for a long time. On the surface of Shangguan Yu's left palm, the primordial energy of heaven and earth rotated continuously, as if trapped in a massive whirlpool.

  At this time, Xu Mo finally caught his breath and swung the You Long spear. A burst of sparks flashed by, and Shangguan Yu grasped the tail of the spear with his left hand and slid his right hand back a bit. With both hands holding the spear, the primordial energy of heaven and earth circulated around the You Long spear, and two dragons, one black and one white, roared to life. This time, Shangguan Yu was completely unrestrained, not taking any defensive measures at all, and launched a full-force attack on Xu Mo.

  Xu Mo felt something was off, as Upper Official Yu's "Great Wheel Turning Palm" had landed squarely on his body. A warrior at the level of Human Boundary would have their torso filled with yuanqi, but Xu Mo had just taken a huge loss from Upper Official Yu. His yuanqi couldn't even circulate properly now, while Upper Official Yu was taking his "Great Wheel Turning Palm" to an even higher level.

  Shangguan Yu's Dragon Gun moved swiftly, looking so elegant and agile. But in Xu Mo's eyes, it was extremely menacing, with every move carrying a deadly threat. Xu Mo didn't dare to be careless at all, but unfortunately, the yuanqi in his body was like an old master who couldn't be summoned no matter what.

  "Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun!"

  Shangguan Yu let out a soft cry, it was the first time he had spoken out the name of this gun technique. The You Long Gun seemed to have become excited, dancing even more rapidly in Shangguan Yu's hand. The black and white two dragons seemed to have broken free from the You Long Gun's restraint, directly attacking Xu Mo. And the sharpness of the You Long Gun's tip was making Xu Mo's heart skip a beat.

  Clang

  Xu Mo's silent knife had another huge gap, and Xu Mo felt a pang of heartache. Whether or not Xu Mo won this time, the silent knife was definitely ruined. Fortunately, it was the You Long spear; if it were a sword of similar quality, the silent knife would have been ruined long ago. The You Long spear could only rely on the sharpness of its tip, and its body couldn't be used for attack.

  Looking at the scars on his silent knife, and then looking at the expressions of the crowd, all of this made Xu Mo feel ashamed. Moreover, after paying such a great price, Xu Mo was still being suppressed. All of this drove Xu Mo into a rage, he loudly shouted, "If I, Xu Mo, don't kill you today, may I be struck by five thunders!"

  "Ling Wu Sword Technique!" "Every sword strike is fatal!"

  Xu Mo had also completely forgotten about defense, fully investing his body and mind into the attack on Shangguan Yu. Gradually, Xu Mo forgot about his unwillingness, forgot about his hatred, forgot about everything. Xu Mo's combat strength slowly unfolded, sweeping away the previous decline. The silent knife in his hand seemed to have transformed into a poisonous snake, constantly slashing at Shangguan Yu with sinister intent.

  Shangguan Yu looked at Xu Mo like that, and his fighting spirit was also ignited. His hands grasped the You Long spear, every move and every style used so accurately. The majestic yuanqi in his body also started to circulate, and at this moment Shangguan Yu also forgot everything. He once again entered the state of unity with heaven and man, and at the same time Shangguan Yu closed his eyes again.

  Shangguan Yu's spearhead kept stabbing towards Xu Mo's vital parts, while Xu Mo's silent knife also kept chopping towards Shangguan Yu's vital parts. Neither of them would use their spear or knife to block, but they would also dodge those dangers. However, dodging was ultimately just dodging, and it couldn't compare to actively defending. Both of them were completely attacking with abandon, how could they possibly all dodge?

  "Hmm"

  Shangguan Yu's left shoulder was slashed with a knife, and fresh blood immediately stained his left shoulder. Shangguan Yu's long spear also pierced Xu Mo's chest, and Xu Mo's entire chest was stained with a patch of blood. The two were indeed fierce, the silent sword and the roaming dragon spear both left each other's bodies. As they retreated, both had suffered severe injuries.

  Shangguan Yu only felt that his entire left shoulder was no longer his own, and he didn't know if this knife would leave any aftereffects. As for Xu Mo, it's even more uncertain - with a spear stabbed into his chest, whether he could survive or not was still in question.

  "Ah!"

  Xu Mo shouted loudly, even if he died, he would pull Shangguan Yu down with him to be buried together.

  "You want to kill me? I think you have no hope!" Shangguan Yu said coldly.

  Shangguan Yu's right hand held the gun, while his left hand moved on its own. Although his shoulder seemed to be someone else's, his left hand moved quickly. His fingers seemed to follow a certain trajectory, as if drawing something.

  The heaven and earth yuanqi around Shangguan Yu's left hand seemed to be boiling, following Shangguan Yu's movements, those heaven and earth yuanqi also moved. Shangguan Yu pointed at Xu Mo's throat, and those heaven and earth yuanqi all flew towards Xu Mo's throat.

  "Killing techniques, killing people, killing enemies, killing opponents!"

  At the critical moment, Shangguan Yu used the witch's technique. This long-range attack, killing people without a trace, has an extremely great advantage in this situation. Xu Mo hadn't even attacked yet, but he had already almost taken care of Xu Mo.

  Hehe

  Xu Mo's throat emitted a "gurgling" sound, and fresh blood began to drip down from his throat. Xu Mo looked at Shangguan Yu in despair, knowing that wanting to kill him was just a pipe dream. Xu Mo regretted it, if he had admitted defeat earlier, how would he have ended up like this?

  Boom

  A bolt of lightning struck towards Xu Mo, followed by one flash after another. Yet, as Xu Mo was about to die, he looked up at the sky in unbelievable awe. Was he really that unlucky, truly being struck by five thunders?
