Chapter 221

In the deep of night in the alley, the murderous intent surged toward him like a tidal wave.

Huasheng Mei Laoda tore through its human skin and lunged with lightning speed, its passing afterimage nearly transparent.

The speed was too fast, so fast that the eyes could hardly keep up with its movement.

Zhou You only felt the world go black before him as a mountain-like frame pressed down upon his head, followed by wind force as sharp as a blade.

His hair was severed strand by strand; the sharpness of the wind force was clearly discernible even from 10 meters away.

The two previous Huasheng Mei were merely appetizers; the one before him was the main course.

"Well come!"

Zhou You's chest swelled high, and the Tiger Roar Jade he had been brewing for a long time was instantly spat out.

Huasheng Mei Laoda was like a cat with its tail scorched, instantly tearing through the air and leaping a hundred meters high.

The Tiger Roar Jade landed, shattering bricks and stones, sending gravel and debris flying in all directions.

The next moment, the Huasheng Mei's ankle was grabbed.

Zhou You arrived later but reached first, using his superior Lightness Skill to catch up to it, his pair of Hu Zhua locking onto its joints with a death grip.

The sensation in his hands was like gripping a cold iron statue; the hair was like steel needles, the skin like steel plates, and the bones like iron rods.

"Awoo!"

With a roar, Zhou You exerted force and swung violently, smashing Huasheng Mei Laoda into the ground.

The street surface was ancient, having been trodden by countless people daily and crushed by heavy vehicles, making it dense and solid; blades would break against it without leaving a mark.

Yet under this smash, it turned into the surface of water, splashing up large "sprays" and "ripples."

Boom! Huasheng Mei Laoda was smashed directly into the ground, the soil retreating like water to the sides, kicking up waves of earth.

Even so, there was still no sign of injury on this monster.

The feet held by Zhou You squirmed, changed, and elongated, digging toward his heart.

"White Tiger Dismemberment."

Zhou You spread his arms, grabbing the ankles and pulling violently to the sides, attempting to tear it in two from the crotch.

It felt tough and elastic, like tearing ox tendon; he could not tear it open in a short time.

The next moment, Huasheng Mei Laoda turned its feet into claws, hitting Zhou You's chest, and a stinging pain struck.

Thud! Zhou You lifted his foot and kicked the opponent's crotch; the sound was like a drum, making his toes go numb.

This shell was too hard!

In the few short exchanges just now, it was like hitting an iron man wrapped in sponge—it wouldn't move, wouldn't fall, and couldn't be pushed away.

"At your wit's end?"

Huasheng Mei Laoda pulled back, stood steady, and looked at him with a grin.

As for the attack methods of a mere Qi-Blood warrior, it would remain unscathed even if it stood still to take them.

Zhou You sneered back at it, "It's still early; that was just a warm-up."

He took a deep breath, and the heartbeat in his body went from one to two; his Original Heart and Profound Heart operated simultaneously.

Double Body Tiger Form Fist, activated at full power.

Zhou You lunged through the ground, transforming into two fierce tiger shadows in mid-air, with sharp claws and teeth and sturdy bodies.

The two tiger shadows attacked Huasheng Mei Laoda from the left and right simultaneously, neither before nor after the other.

"A deceptive little trick; no matter how many paths you come from, I will break them all with one force."

The Huasheng Mei was not stupid; it guessed that although there appeared to be two tiger shadows, in reality, only Zhou You was attacking.

It swung its claws, crossing them like a spiral, simultaneously shrouding both tiger shadows within.

The goal was simple and brutal: to block all of Zhou You's directions and drag him into the fray to be shredded.

A strange scene occurred...

One tiger shadow roared, raised a claw radiating Tiger Malice, and pinned down its claws.

The other tiger shadow actually broke away from its companion, taking the lead to slam into Huasheng Mei Laoda in the posture of a Hungry Tiger pouncing on its prey.

Whether it was the locking of the claws or the full-power lunge, the power of both was full-weight, without the slightest dilution. It was as if Zhou You had conjured a second self out of thin air, and the two of them besieged Huasheng Mei Laoda together.

The two bodies tangled into a ball, rolling and crashing, instantly leveling this alley to the ground.

Dust flew, and rubble piled up! "Buzz buzz buzz!"

Huasheng Mei Laoda had its face clawed to shreds, its right eye fell from its socket, and the wounds from the Hu Zhua extended from its chin to its chest.

A large piece of flesh was torn from its pair of sharp claws, with an estimated loss of over 10 jin of flesh and blood.

In this state, it was heavily wounded, having suffered a great loss at Zhou You's hands.

A figure flashed, and Zhou You descended from the sky; his figure split, one side hugging its waist while his left hand used a Hu Zhua and his right hand used a dagger to launch an attack.

It was another scene of two people besieging it, by no means the trick Huasheng Mei Laoda had previously thought.

At this moment, it was as if two identical Zhou Yous were attacking, with more coordination than twins.

The Huasheng Mei inhaled and expanded, attempting to snap Zhou You's arms, but a sudden chill came from its back; the dagger had pierced the defensive layer of its outer skin.

A Qi-Blood Divine Weapon, specialized in breaking a martial artist's defense, and even having massive lethality against bewitching creatures.

Huasheng Mei Laoda's copper skin and iron bones could not block the tip of the dagger, and with a hiss, it was plunged in.

The Huasheng Mei retaliated in pain, lifting its foot to kick Zhou You in the chest.

The Lv5-level Jiangjun Pijia Dagua was scattered upon contact, and the evil, cold power slammed solidly into his body.

Zhou Family Fist, Injury for Speed! Zhou You spat out a mouthful of blood, his speed suddenly accelerated, and he held the dagger to slash across Huasheng Mei Laoda's body, incidentally tearing the wound to 3–4 times its length.

The surroundings suddenly became terrifyingly quiet, and even the night wind disappeared without a trace.

A sense of alarm rose in Zhou You's heart; he clenched his fists and instantly assumed the Defense stance of the Glazed Longevity Fist.

Sure enough, the next moment, Huasheng Mei Laoda unleashed a sky-covering wind of sharp force.

Countless gusts of wind crisscrossed like chaotic lines, as if a poorly woven net were shrouding Zhou You's entire body.

The lethality of each line was comparable to high-speed steel wire, sufficient to slice a human body into fragments.

The glazed luster on Zhou You's fists flowed like water, wrapping around his entire body.

The trajectories and traces drawn by the fist shadows around his body gradually outlined a sphere that encased him, its shape flawless.

The chaotic lines landed on the glazed sphere like raindrops hitting a lotus leaf, bouncing off without damaging the glazed luster in the slightest.

It lasted for a moment.

Before the gusts of wind had completely dissipated, Zhou You killed his way out from the sphere.

Profound Heart of the Beyond, Twin-Body Tiger Form.

One tiger shadow held a long sword, and one tiger shadow held a left claw and a right dagger, sweeping to the side of Huasheng Mei Laoda, forming a pincer movement from left and right to pin him within the encirclement.

"Your death date has arrived."

Both the long sword and the dagger were Qi-Blood Divine Weapons; he drove them with Qi-Blood, and with the Tiger Fiend possessing his body, their power and lethality were doubled.

Huasheng Mei raised its sharp claws to block, but they were directly sliced off by the long sword, becoming bare.

The next moment, the long sword thrust diagonally downward from its throat, piercing through the chest and abdomen until it stabbed out from the crotch.

The Hu Zhua hooked into its shoulder blades from behind, and the dagger pierced into the back of Huasheng Mei Laoda's heart, hugging the ribs.

The two iron implements were deep inside its body, having firmly locked the shell of this monster; it could not fly away even with wings now.

"Want to kill me? Don't even think about it."

Zhou You opened his mouth and roared, "Tianfu Decipher Confusion, I will not let you be reincarnated."

The talent activated, and under the suction of Hunger, the originally thick life force of this Huasheng Mei flowed away rapidly.

Thud, the corpse with its life force severed hit the ground, making no further sound.

"Talent Hunger activated, life force absorption caused a mutation, meeting the requirements for talent upgrade."

"Talent Hunger lv1→2."

"The upgraded lv2 Talent Hunger adds a 'Seal and Solidify' function, which can be attached to a designated object."
