Jiang Xia felt his internal organs churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel’s blood dripped from his chin, his palm surging violently with blue spiritual energy—he was badly wounded too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yingshao’s crimson pupils locked onto him; his tiger-patterned wings flared violently, stirring black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks on the ground widened with each tremor, more low-tier beasts surging forth like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fatty, hold those beasts off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s right eye glowed with the Rinnegan; his left hand shot up—“Jibakutensei (Planet Burst)!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless shards of rock rose from the ground, coalescing into a massive stone sphere above the fissure, crushing the emerging beasts back into the crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Yingshao, his left Mangekyo Sharingan spinning rapidly—“Susano’o—Fourth Form!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, blue Susano’o armor enveloped his entire body, extending downward, while the Jukenken and Hachisakagami materialized in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia propelled the Complete Body Susano’o into the air, raising the Hachisakagami before him to block another black energy wave from Yingshao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy wave struck the mirror, sparking violently; the Susano’o’s arm trembled slightly, Jiang Xia’s throat turned sweet, but he gritted his teeth and swung the Jukenken down hard at Yingshao’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yingshao roared, dodging sideways; feathers from its wings instantly transformed into countless black blades, firing toward Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wood Seal: Entangling Threads!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng’s seal flared violently; hundreds of wooden vines erupted from the ground, weaving into an impenetrable net midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blades struck the vines with piercing clangs; though several vines were severed, all attacks were successfully blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Colonel, now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng shouted, his seal surging again, forming two colossal scythes that slashed toward Yingshao’s wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yingshao sensed the attack from behind, swiping its claws backward; black energy met the scythes, jolting Wang Teng’s arms numb, sending him sliding meters back, his feet carving deep grooves in the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia seized this fleeting chance; the Complete Body Susano’o dove downward, Jukenken aimed straight at Yingshao’s tiger pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yingshao sensed the danger; its human face twisted in fury, spitting a ball of pitch-black energy toward Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shinra Tensei!” Jiang Xia muttered; his Rinnegan erupted with intense gravitational force, sucking in nearby rubble and mist to form a thick barrier before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy ball shattered the barrier, but its power had been halved, and the Hachisakagami held firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Jukenken pierced deep into Yingshao’s tiger pattern; blue spiritual energy surged through the blade, causing Yingshao to shriek in agony, flapping its wings wildly to fling Jiang Xia away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel’s eyes flashed with resolve; he raised both hands above his head, condensing blue spiritual energy into a water dragon dozens of meters tall—“Azure Dragon Break!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water dragon surged forward with crushing force, slamming into Yingshao’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yingshao tried to wrench free from the Jukenken, the water dragon struck, pinning it to the ground; black mist gushed wildly from its wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia seized the moment, amplifying spiritual output through the Susano’o; the Jukenken drove deeper, Yingshao’s body convulsing, its blood-red pupils dimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng activated his seals, transforming them into countless chains that wrapped around Yingshao’s limbs, locking it to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yingshao let out one final, furious roar—its body suddenly swelled, clearly preparing to detonate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s face darkened; he yanked the Jukenken free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fujutsu: Chakra Absorption!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue shield materialized before Jiang Xia, frantically absorbing Yingshao’s internal energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel immediately directed the water dragon to form a massive water prison, encasing Yingshao entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion’s force was suppressed layer by layer by the Chakra Absorption and the water prison; Yingshao’s body withered, finally dissolving into a wisp of black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist within the fissure lost its source and rapidly dissipated; the remaining beasts, deprived of support, were swiftly cleared by the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia disbanded the Susano’o, stumbling to the ground; Wang Teng rushed forward to support him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must destroy the fissure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shōmon—open!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia drew a deep breath; his right Rinnegan and left Sharingan both activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Susano’o!” he muttered, guiding the Susano’o forward, Jukenken and Hachisakagami in hand, toward the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng unleashed his full power; black seals covered his body, forming a colossal scythe as he followed Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though wounded, the Colonel rose, again gathering blue spiritual energy in his hands, ready to assist Jiang Xia and Wang Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia channeled all his spiritual energy into the Susano’o’s blade and slashed it down hard upon the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The blade pierced the fissure instantly; crimson sealing energy erupted, causing the fissure to shake violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng swung his massive scythe at the fissure; his seals merged into the crack, intensifying its tremors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel poured all his spiritual energy into the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water and sealing techniques intertwined, forming a colossal energy wave that surged into the depths of the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” A deafening explosion shattered the fissure; black mist vanished completely, leaving only a vast crater on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the fissure collapsed, the beasts in the square lost control and scattered in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers charged after them; the crackle of spiritual-energy rifles and the thunder of heavy artillery erupted once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia and Wang Teng stood beside the crater, watching the fleeing beasts, finally exhaling in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel walked over, pale-faced but smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great! The fissure is destroyed! Canglan City is saved!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia staggered and collapsed, his face ashen: “This was just one small battle in the great calamity. Every city near Shanhai Pass is now facing the same fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng also slumped to the ground: “We barely managed one disaster-level beast. I can’t imagine how Senior Xia endured a destruction-level and a horde of disaster-levels back then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a night’s rest, Jiang Xia and Wang Teng walked the streets, gazing at the ruins and citizens clutching their dead loved ones; their victory’s joy faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colonel, wrapped head to toe in bandages, approached them: “Canglan City owes its survival to your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his voice heavy with unmaskable sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We just received word: Linglin City to the east has erupted in a beast tide—two disaster-level beasts have appeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All city defenders perished, but reinforcements arrived in time and destroyed the fissure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s hands trembled slightly; the battlefield’s brutality churned within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We barely survived one disaster-level,” Wang Teng clenched his fists. “If Shanhai Pass falls… the cities behind it…” He didn’t finish, but all knew what it meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The next few chapters will begin the main Shanhai Pass storyline】\u003C\u002Fp>",1082,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","db988b79f2861babac23ac4f1d0bf6e5261ea98b03f5c6af7a47e35f7ec03d01","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-70","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-68",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
