Before absolute power, all is futile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of resolve passed through Jiang Xia’s eyes. He rose, gripping his blade, and stepped back from Zhu Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth Gate, Shangmen—Open!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, Jiang Xia’s blood and qi exploded outward; the flowing electric light was instantly swallowed by blue spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles swelled, tendons and bones beneath his clothes cracking like popping beans; his aura surged violently, stirring a gale within the enclosed space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His posture mirrored exactly that of Rock Lee during the Chunin Exams—his body wrapped in steam, a testament to pushing his physical potential to its absolute limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan narrowed its eyes, sensing danger in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This human boy’s aura had grown even more ferocious than before—like a beast freed from its chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. Still just an insect, no matter how Itachi change your tricks,” Zhu Yan sneered, yet its assault intensified instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stomped the ground, shattering it into a spiderweb of cracks, then lunged forward as a black shadow, fist aimed straight for Jiang Xia’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s gaze hardened—he didn’t retreat, he advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Shangmen unlocked, his speed and strength had surged to a new dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grass-Cutting Sword became a blur in his hands—not to block, but to use the blade as a pivot, launching his entire body into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both feet, heavy as a thousand-pound hammer, wrapped in blue spiritual energy, slammed into Zhu Yan’s wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist met foot, explosive force erupting. Zhu Yan felt its wrists go numb—forced back half a step by the kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia used the recoil to flip midair, drawing two kunai in one motion, two blue blade auras crossing toward Zhu Yan’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sequence was executed with flawless speed and relentless ferocity, just like Rock Lee’s Lotus technique during the Chunin Exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan’s heart surged with fury and alarm, crossing its arms to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang!” The blade auras struck its claws, sparks flying, leaving two shallow grooves on its hardened skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!” Zhu Yan exploded in rage, its demonic energy surging wildly, its body swelling as its claws transformed into two black whirlwinds sweeping toward Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attack covered vast ground, sealing off every possible escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s eyes held no fear—only blazing fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove Grass-Cutting Sword into the ground with such speed it left afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eight Gates Sealing Technique, Dumeng—Open!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words finished, Jiang Xia appeared like a ghost behind Zhu Yan, locking both arms around its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual energy burned furiously, blue light engulfing both of them like a massive fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go down!” Jiang Xia roared, dragging Zhu Yan’s massive form straight into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening impact shook the entire enclosed space; the ground cracked open into a massive crater, rocks flying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan was stunned by the sudden blow, letting out a pained roar from its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia crouched on the ground, gasping heavily—the side effects of Shangmen’s release began to show, his muscles tearing with searing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan struggled to rise, staring into Jiang Xia’s eyes brimming with unyielding battle lust—and for the first time, a flicker of panic stirred within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This human boy, weaker in power by far, was like a cockroach that refused to die, relentlessly smashing against its defenses with reckless abandon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not over yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia growled through gritted teeth, fingers digging into Zhu Yan’s neck, knuckles white with strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy from Dumeng still burned fiercely, blue radiance seeping from his fingertips into Zhu Yan’s body, forcing the beast to whimper in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan, utterly enraged, thrashed wildly, its claws slashing three deep, bone-exposing gashes across Jiang Xia’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Xia, as if feeling no pain, wrapped his legs tightly around Zhu Yan’s waist and abdomen, pinning it motionless at the bottom of the crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi think this can contain me?” Zhu Yan roared, demonic energy surging, black mist pouring from its wounds into Jiang Xia’s body, seeking to corrupt his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood trickled from Jiang Xia’s lips, but he grinned—wild, mad. “Contain Itachi? I’m here to destroy Itachi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he threw his head back, all his spiritual energy converging instantly to the crown of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue light intensified, forming a colossal spiritual vortex above him, sucking floating debris into its pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” Zhu Yan finally panicked—it felt the annihilation power within the vortex, struggled to break free, but Jiang Xia’s grip was like welded iron, unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s eyes held only resolve. He locked gazes with Zhu Yan, speaking slowly, deliberately: “Try this—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rikukon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, Jiang Xia hurled Zhu Yan’s body upward, striking it repeatedly midair, then plummeting like a meteor back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he channeled every ounce of spiritual energy into his fist, driving it straight into Zhu Yan’s chest upon impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous explosion ripped through the air, cracks spiderwebbing across the spatial barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the crater, blue chakra erupted violently; Zhu Yan let out a scream of unbearable agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep crater was punched into its chest, black blood spraying outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia was thrown back by the recoil, slamming hard into the barrier, Grass-Cutting Sword flying from his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled to rise, but his limbs trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side effects of Dumeng erupted fully—his muscle fibers were tearing apart, every movement a searing agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia looked at the dying Zhu Yan at the bottom of the crater, grinning through a mouth full of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan lay at the crater’s base, black blood oozing endlessly from its chest wound, its savagery fading, replaced by disbelief and terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could not comprehend how a human with such inferior power had driven it to this brink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","acd4083ff53428994f41afdd2fc820a4220273e3693bcc57c62a90024a11032f","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-33","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-31",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
