The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: The Power of Core Strength! Flying Sand and Running Stones!

Suddenly, Wu Huacheng, who had been violently attacking Su Hao, retreated swiftly.

“Good! To have cultivated Transformation Strength is impressive! You deserve my full effort!”

Locking his gaze on Su Hao, a sinister smile crept onto Wu Huacheng’s face.

Then, amid the horrified stares of those around, Wu Huacheng reached into his bag and pulled out the hearts of two dead Blood Wind Bandits, tearing them from their chests and directly stuffing them into his mouth. After a brief chew, he swallowed them down.

“Ugh!”

This horrifying and nauseating scene induced many members of the Liu Family to gag instinctively; the idea of humans eating humans was far more shocking than any beastly act!

Su Hao furrowed his brows slightly, realizing that Wu Huacheng’s actions were a clear indication that he was about to unleash a deadly move. However, for Su Hao, this was precisely the opportunity he sought.

“Wu Huacheng’s speed is exceptionally fast, which is why he managed to escape from the grasp of the Transforming Tendon Martial Artist. I need to severely injure him in one blow, making it impossible for him to escape. Once he attacks with full force, that will be my chance!”

Su Hao mused to himself.

From their recent encounter, it was evident that Wu Huacheng’s lightness and agility in movement were top-notch. If he truly intended to flee, it would likely be futile for Su Hao to pursue him.

Thus, Su Hao knew he had to strike him down with a more powerful blow when the enraged Wu Huacheng came at him with full force; otherwise, if Wu Huacheng sensed life-threatening danger, he would surely choose to escape!

“Then let me show you my Blood Bat Devil Art!”

Having consumed the two still-beating hearts, Wu Huacheng wiped the corner of his mouth and let out a high-pitched, sharp howl from his throat.

The sound pierced the eardrums, causing dizziness, and on Wu Huacheng’s pale skin, veins bulged like red worms, creating a terrifying sight!

An invisible energy seemed to be burning around Wu Huacheng, making one feel chills run down their spine, with goosebumps rising all over.

In an instant, Wu Huacheng’s blue veins erupted, and his skin flushed red, radiating an intense heat!

“Brother is using all his power now, fully unleashing the Blood Bat Devil Art, which will rapidly burn his own vital energy. Afterward, he must replenish it with a large amount of fresh blood… However, there are many Martial Artists here who can be used to restore his strength.”

The other two bandits looked on with both fear and excitement, eagerly awaiting the moment Su Hao would be torn to shreds by Wu Huacheng.

“Ga wu!”

The sharp, piercing howl reached a climax, forcing many of the weaker Martial Artists from the Liu Family to cover their ears, their faces contorted in pain.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Wu Huacheng suddenly moved, a series of afterimages trailing behind him as he darted forward with such speed that, even with prior preparation, the eyes couldn’t track him, let alone respond. He was now several times faster than before!

“Blood Fiend Palm!”

Using the momentum of his leap, Wu Huacheng’s pale face took on a sickly shade of crimson. His entire right palm glowed with a dazzling blood light, hot and red, emanating a pungent smell of blood.

Before the attack even landed, a dizzying gust of blood and gore assaulted Su Hao, as if facing this palm directly would lead to ripped flesh, broken tendons, and shattered bones, making it feel like surrendering one’s neck to the blade.

Wu Huacheng appeared like a massive blood-red demon bat, his fierce aura enough to make ordinary Martial Artists tremble in fear, robbing them of any courage to resist!

Su Hao, too, seemed momentarily paralyzed by Wu Huacheng’s oppressive energy, standing frozen in place.

However, beneath his calm exterior, tremendous changes were occurring within Su Hao. The energy flowing throughout his body sharply contracted at that moment, compressing and gathering at his lower abdomen, at the Dantian, forming a tight ball.

The vital energy surged, and his strength coiled within; this overwhelming force rapidly condensed into a core, the essence of bursting forth in its most extreme form!

It was like a highly elastic sphere, compressed to the limit, which would release a thunderous power the moment it loosened, and this encapsulated the essence of ‘Core Strength’!

“Hmm?”

Wu Huacheng’s pupils suddenly contracted; he saw Su Hao move. Su Hao’s simple fist strike seemed to disrupt the flow of time, appearing extremely slow, yet in reality, it was so fast that it created an illusion for the naked eye!

“Boom!”

At the instant of the punch, the coiled strength within Su Hao’s Dantian erupted violently, akin to a long-dormant volcano bursting forth, generating a deep rumbling sound that echoed out, shaking the area for a hundred yards, startling countless birds into flight!

“Hmm?””No!”

Wu Huacheng’s scalp tingled, and his heart nearly stopped. The terrifying sound of Su Hao’s punch seemed to come from something beyond a mere flesh-and-blood body, akin to a cataclysmic event; it was impossible for a human body to withstand such a direct hit. Realizing the severity of the situation, he quickly attempted to retreat, but it was too late. He could only grit his teeth and push his palm strength to the peak, hoping to withstand Su Hao’s blow!

“Boom!”

What felt like a drawn-out moment lasted only a tenth of a breath as Su Hao’s and Wu Huacheng’s fists clashed together, producing a deafening explosion. The air surged around them, as if two meteors had collided.

The ground trembled violently, as if a storm had swept through the plains; the force radiated outward, creating cracks along the ground, extending two to three yards from where they stood.

Crack!

A tree, thick as a man’s thigh, snapped and shattered under the pressure of the released force, flying into pieces.

Even from over ten yards away, everyone felt a violent tremor beneath their feet and witnessed the horrifying sight of the ground tearing apart around the two combatants, with sand and stones flying, making it hard to believe this was the result of a clash of flesh and blood!

“Hmm?”

In that instant of collision, Wu Huacheng’s expression changed drastically. To him, his Blood Fiend Palm met Su Hao’s robust strength like an egg colliding against a stone, shattering into fragments. His palm strength was crushed and shattered in an unstoppable manner, relentlessly pressing down upon him!

“Crack, crack, crack!”

The overwhelming force was too tyrannical and dense, indistinguishable from that of a cannonball. Wu Huacheng’s right arm twisted violently, those forged Iron Bones fracturing inch by inch, his entire arm bending and cracking. Broken bones pierced through his flesh in a gruesome display!

Wu Huacheng himself was blasted away by the punch, flying backward like a broken sack, tumbling and crashing to the ground, propelled four to five yards away, causing the earth to crack and stones to scatter.

“Cough… cough, cough, cough…”

Wu Huacheng coughed violently, blood mixed with internal organ fragments spilling out, and his overall strength rapidly declined.

“That villain… has lost… lost?”

The Liu Family members stared in shock at the scene before them; just moments ago, Wu Huacheng had exuded fierce menace, yet the next moment he was heavily injured and flying backward.

Su Hao’s punch was absolutely overwhelming, unstoppable! With a single blow, he had severely injured Wu Huacheng!

“You… you are a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist? A dignified Transforming Tendon Martial Artist… so despicable…”

Wu Huacheng desperately crawled up from the ground, one of his arms completely deformed, and his already pale face now appeared ghostly white. He fixed his gaze on Su Hao, his voice hoarse.

In Wu Huacheng’s view, anyone who could deal such a heavy blow to him must undoubtedly be a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist. He had merely concealed his strength earlier, launching a sudden attack to deliver a fatal strike!

A proper Transforming Tendon Martial Artist, bullying the weak while hiding his aura and power, was simply despicable.

Su Hao shook his head in disbelief; he was not a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist. What he had used was merely the Core Strength refined from four rounds of body tempering!

“Say what you want; now I need your head for something.”

Su Hao stated indifferently.

Wu Huacheng had committed numerous wrongdoings and deserved to die; taking his head to exchange for a third-class merit was Su Hao’s fundamental goal!
