Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 88: Can You Please Not Get Fired Up All of a Sudden?
Wu Ziying’s speed, which was far beyond normal, clearly caught Xiao Kong off guard.
Before the black flame on his body could ignite, the agile figure of the girl had already charged forward, slashing at his neck with her sword.
Clang—
The standard long sword collided with the black-blue Spirit Sword, sparking a blinding flare.
At the critical moment, Xiao Kong barely managed to block the strike with his sword.
But obviously, with ten times the sensitivity enhancement, Wu Ziying’s reaction speed far surpassed his own.
After the first strike missed, Wu Ziying’s figure flickered, leaving an afterimage in place while her real body appeared behind Xiao Kong, slashing down again with her sword.
Even though Xiao Kong tried his best to dodge, this time the sword still struck his scapula.
The black flame charred his skin and flesh, yet his skeleton remained wholly intact; Jin Hao Walking Corpse’s fangs and claws could penetrate the bone structure, but the sword could not.
This blow directly severed a section of Xiao Kong’s scapula, embedding deeply into his chest bone—it looked painful.
But Xiao Kong seemed unfazed, the black flame erupting like lava, shooting towards Wu Ziying behind him.
However, Wu Ziying’s speed was simply too quick—she evaded before the flames could reach her.
In the exchange that followed, even though Xiao Kong couldn’t cause Wu Ziying any substantial damage, the black flame had already entwined her standard long sword, threatening to spread onto her body.
But Wu Ziying remained calm, casually making a flourish with her sword, flinging the black flames away.
The principle was simple: just wrap a layer of spiritual power around the sword before striking.
Before the black flame could consume the spiritual power and actually touch the sword, discard both the spiritual power and flame together, thus the flying sword itself wouldn’t be burned by the black flame.
Similarly, covering the body with spiritual power can temporarily isolate the black flame.
After dealing with the clinging black flame, Wu Ziying launched another swift attack like lightning.
Su Yuan, watching from the side, was speechless.
"This flame looks so intimidating, burning whatever it touches, and yet this is it? This is all?"
Indeed, Amaterasu can’t burn someone to death.
Even though covering the sword and body with spiritual power obviously consumed a lot of spiritual energy, Xiao Kong, fully clad in flames, was expending even more spiritual energy.
For a moment, Wu Ziying even suppressed Xiao Kong, inflicting frequent injuries.
Watching, Su Yuan suddenly had a question pop up in his mind—was ten times the sensitivity the limit for Wu Ziying?
With curiosity, Su Yuan focused his thoughts, activating the Abyssal Spiritual Power within Wu Ziying, increasing the girl’s sensitivity by another level.
Wu Ziying, in the midst of battle, visibly shuddered, biting her lower lip and casting an indignant glare at Su Yuan, but her speed unexpectedly increased another notch.
"Haha! Not surprising for a woman who can withstand five hundred times sensitivity, her limits are indeed unfathomable!"
"Keep pushing it!"
Twelve times... Thirteen times... Fourteen times...
The truth proved that Wu Ziying’s potential couldn’t be summarized just by ten times sensitivity. As her sensitivity increased by each level, her command over her body also improved.
By now, the girl was like a gust of wind on the battlefield, using speed to overpower strength, leaving Xiao Kong unable to lift his head.
But through this experiment, Su Yuan understood one thing.
That is, sensitivity enhancement only applies to people like Wu Ziying.
He realized Wu Ziying belonged to the type with highly developed physical abilities and simple mind—a natural athlete’s holy body.
Only such an innate physical talent and nerve reflexes can enhance strength while enduring a dozen times sensitivity.
Su Yuan himself certainly wouldn’t dare try this.
Over time, the girl’s entire skin glowed with a peach-like rosy hue.
Her cheeks, jade neck, arms, and exposed straight legs glistened with crystal-clear fragrant sweat.
As the girl maneuvered nimbly, drops of sweat flew into the air, sparkling under the sunlight.
Furthermore, the girl’s clothes were nearly soaked through with sweat, though some suspicious areas seemed slightly abnormal in sweating volume.
No doubt the girl’s little feet inside those small leather shoes were also soaked through with sweat.
"My Abyssal Spiritual Power is truly a perfect match with Wu Ziying; even at nineteen times sensitivity, she can still endure."
"With nineteen times sensitivity enhancement, her speed is at least 50% faster than normal! It’s practically a legal cheat!"
Su Yuan marveled sincerely.
"But, nineteen times doesn’t seem to be her limit; let’s try going further."
Su Yuan licked his lips, eyes filled with the curiosity of an evil scientist.
Under his control, the Abyssal Spiritual Power within the girl finally made another leap... Twenty times sensitivity! Achieved!
Then, he saw the previously swift violet-haired girl suddenly stagger, freezing in place as if she had crashed, a poof of white smoke puffing from her head, and her bright predator-like eyes lost their luster...
Hmm? Broke her!
Su Yuan was slightly stunned, hurriedly trying to take over Wu Ziying’s body, to retreat her back, but unfortunately, Xiao Kong didn’t give him that chance.
Xiao Kong seized the moment, slicing off the violet-haired girl’s head with one sword.
Hmm, ending just like a certain Aula.
Xiao Kong’s points +21400
Total points: 54600
Oh ho... The Fallen Female Knight wasn’t just broken, but accidentally played to death.
And just then, Jin Hao Walking Corpse was also nearly burned away, spilling points.
Xiao Kong’s points increased by another thousand, reaching the terrifying figure of 55600!
"Phew—"
As Wu Ziying’s headless form slowly toppled over, Xiao Kong let out a long breath... it was dirty fire. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Even though he defeated her when her movements stalled, the trouble she caused him earlier was indeed considerable.
Maintaining the Yin Fire Body for such a long time, he’d consumed a tremendous amount of spiritual energy, not to mention his skeleton was carved with numerous scars by Wu Ziying, with at least six or seven bones completely severed.
"But... the hardest part has passed."
Xiao Kong murmured softly.
He lifted his head, eye sockets burning with black-blue flames looked towards Su Yuan, who seemed slightly awkward for having accidentally caused Wu Ziying’s death, and spoke coldly:
"Su Yuan, is it? I admit you are indeed impressive... but you are ultimately just a stepping stone on my path forward!"
"If I can’t even defeat someone as obscure as you, how could I possibly defeat that person?"
"I will become Master Taibai’s most valued student, I will learn the Sword Dao True Inheritance from Master Taibai, I will defeat that person in the college entrance exam, I will... prove myself!"
Xiao Kong’s voice was firm, each sentence more passionate than the last.
The spectators listening outside couldn’t help but feel ignited by these resolute words!
But just as everyone was quietly applauding Xiao Kong’s resounding words, an untimely voice rang out from the Taixu Illusion Realm.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao, whether you’re following the cliché of thirty years east and thirty years west of the river, or you’re pulling an Uchiha script, please don’t suddenly get all hot-blooded, okay?"
Su Yuan interrupted Xiao Kong’s self-indulgence speechlessly.
Xiao Kong: "..."
This aloof genius held back for a while before snorting coldly:
"You’re relying merely on your two friends, Chen Nuoyi and Chu Lanxi."
"They are not my opponents; if they stubbornly insist on resisting, then let them come out quickly!"
"No need."
Su Yuan smiled lightly and said:
"I just need to defeat you one more time; there’s no need to deploy the other two among my Four Great Heavenly Kings."
"I will personally take action, so please don’t blink in the meantime... because your defeat will happen swiftly, perhaps in less than a moment."
