The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Golden Bell Cover! Void Breaking Divine Fist!

In that brief moment of danger, it went unnoticed by others. The surrounding soldiers and onlookers could merely see Shi Tieshan closing in on Su Hao as if he was shortening the distance with each step, delivering a punch like an arrow. Yet, he only struck Su Hao’s afterimage.

“Dodge? Come here! Crane Control Hand!”

The fierce light in Shi Tieshan’s eyes erupted.

As an elder of the Vajra Gate, Shi Tieshan had undertaken many dirty and exhausting tasks to obtain a ‘Muscle Protecting Dan,’ which allowed him to successfully reach the Transforming Tendon Stage. The difference between a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist and a Forging Body Martial Artist is like that between an adult and a child. Since he had activated his muscle strength, he would not allow Su Hao any chance to resist!

Amidst his angry shout, Shi Tieshan’s left hand curled into a claw. With a forceful grip, a wave of strength coalesced between his fingers, creating a vortex that generated a pulling force aimed at Su Hao, restricting his movements.

Due to the wide and tough meridians of a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist, they can output strength force several times greater, producing an effect where the bright strength manifests as hidden energy, unleashing the power of transformation!

Shi Tieshan’s claw, charged with concentrated strength, had not yet reached Su Hao when a pulling force began to drag him, as if that claw would follow him relentlessly no matter how he tried to dodge.

“Then if that’s the case… bring it on!”

Su Hao did not dodge or evade. His eyes sparkled with a tangible brilliance as the blood and energy within him compressed and coalesced explosively, shrinking to an extreme, like a small Dan Core.

“Boom!”

When compressed to the utmost limit, it suddenly detonated, producing a thunderous roar that was deafening, as if a bolt of lightning had struck. Following that, Su Hao’s right fist shot out like lightning, splitting the air, with the wind and clouds accompanying him, the energy surging like a violent storm!

“Hmm?”

Shi Tieshan’s pupils slightly contracted, sensing that Su Hao’s sudden explosive strike was quite terrifying.

“Bang!”

The collision of fists and claws resulted in a thunderous roar, reverberating like rolling thunder. Even the wind and clouds seemed to be torn apart by the impact of their strikes. The explosive energy caused the ground beneath them to crack, bricks shattering and flying like bullets, raising a cloud of dust!

Even standing outside the Execution Ground, one could feel the vibrations emanating from the ground; it truly didn’t seem like the impact resulting from two flesh-and-blood bodies colliding.

“Deng deng deng!”

To the shock of Li Shou, Gongsun Xiu, and the others, amidst the billowing dust, a towering figure staggered back several steps—it was none other than Shi Tieshan!

“Shi Tieshan was forced back? But he’s a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist!”

Li Shou looked at the scene before him, a mix of surprise and joy. When Shi Tieshan demonstrated his skills at the Transforming Tendon Stage, Li Shou felt a heavy dread, thinking Su Hao was in danger, yet the result? Su Hao had unleashed an incredibly strong counterattack that forced the muscle-powered Shi Tieshan back!

“No wonder Wu Huacheng lost his life at the hands of Wen Tailai… It seems Wen Tailai must have used a technique like this to kill him; that punch was as ferocious as thunder—what kind of martial art is this?”

Gongsun Xiu’s eyes sparkled with intrigue; Su Hao possessed a lethal strike that could actually suppress Shi Tieshan head-on!

However, they did not recognize that what Su Hao was using was Core Strength.

“This is Core Strength?”

Only Shi Tieshan, filled with shock, recognized that Su Hao was employing Core Strength. In their Vajra Gate, only the leader had cultivated Core Strength, and he was over a hundred years old—one of the few major masters within Evergreen County!

In contrast, the current Su Hao appeared to be barely over thirty!

“Kill!”

Su Hao paid no heed to Shi Tieshan’s thoughts, forcing him back with a punch. Without giving Shi Tieshan a moment to breathe, Su Hao gathered his Core Strength again and launched a thunderous strike intended to annihilate Shi Tieshan in one blow.

It seemed as if Shi Tieshan had exhausted his old strength and had not yet regained new power; as he steadied himself, he could only barely raise his arms to shield himself, yet a glimpse of ferocity flickered deep in his eyes.

“Hmm? Something’s not right!”

Just as this punch was about to land on Shi Tieshan, Su Hao suddenly felt a warning in his heart, faintly sensing a hint of danger. Though it might be too late to withdraw, he instinctively retracted the force of his punch.

“Clang!”

Su Hao’s fist, infused with Core Strength, slammed down onto Shi Tieshan’s crossed arms, producing a sharp, metallic sound that echoed like striking metal!

Shi Tieshan’s skin was covered in densely packed Strength Force, giving it a faint golden tint.

“Golden Bell Cover! Golden Bell Shock!”

Shi Tieshan let out a wild roar, and the pale golden hue surrounding his body rippled with golden waves. Suddenly, Su Hao felt that the force of his punch was rebounding from Shi Tieshan’s body.

Whoosh!

Su Hao was flung backward, dispersing the Strength Force throughout his body to absorb the shock, and only after flying three to four yards did he stabilize himself. However, the right side of his body grew numb from the returning force.

“Is this a protective hard technique? It can rebound an enemy’s Strength Force?”

Su Hao couldn’t help but be secretly astonished. If it hadn’t been for his four rounds of body refining and sharpened perception, he would have likely been left with broken bones from the returning power had he not hurriedly withdrawn his Strength Force just before the impact!

“Golden Bell Cover… This is the initiated martial art from the Vajra Gate, the Golden Bell Cover! It can rebound the enemy’s attacks!”

Gongsun Xiu was also taken aback, urgently shouting a warning to Su Hao.

At the same time, Gongsun Xiu cursed inwardly, “This Shi Tieshan is not only a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist but has also learned the Golden Bell Cover?”

The Golden Bell Cover, an initiated martial art controlled by the Vajra Gate, was a closely guarded secret belonging strictly to them. Not to mention outsiders, even insiders needed to undergo rigorous examinations to learn it!

Shi Tieshan had practiced the initiated martial art of Golden Bell Cover, honing it to great accomplishment with his exceptional physique. Combined with the resilience of a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist, he could withstand an enemy’s attacks while unleashing the rebounding force!

“You little brat, forcing me to use my full strength, you can be proud now, but… die!”

With the Golden Bell Cover rebounding and sending Su Hao flying, Shi Tieshan’s face twisted with ferocity, his muscles bulging, showcasing the extreme application of his Strength Force. A faint golden aura enveloped his body as he let out a wild roar and lunged toward Su Hao with fury.

By deploying the defensive and offensive Golden Bell Cover, Shi Tieshan had already placed himself in an invulnerable position. Although Su Hao’s Core Strength exploded with power, even capable of momentarily suppressing him as a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist, the greater the damage caused by Su Hao, the more potent the rebounding force of Shi Tieshan’s Golden Bell Cover became!

“A Transforming Tendon Martial Artist… truly impressive…” Su Hao sighed inwardly.

Those who reached the Transforming Tendon realm were almost all individuals of extraordinary talent and comprehension, most hailing from prestigious sects, and their martial arts training and resources were unlike anything ordinary practitioners could compar. To defeat Shi Tieshan, Su Hao could no longer hold back.

Thinking of this, as he faced the relentless Shi Tieshan charging toward him without defense, Su Hao suddenly clenched his left hand into a tight fist.

Whoosh!

As Su Hao’s fingers tightened, the surrounding air seemed to be drawn toward him, gathered within his palm and merging with his Strength Force. With his blood and energy surging, an invincible force formed, coursing through his arm and meridians, bursting forth as he delivered a punch!

This punch was so powerful that it compressed a wide swath of air into a wall of force, violently pushing forward with tremendous momentum. The punch force sliced through the air, grinding the bricks of the ground into dust, as if a colossal beast were charging through.

“Hm?”

At the forefront, Shi Tieshan’s eyelids twitched. Despite the nearly ten-foot gap between him and Su Hao, he still felt the oppressive pressure bearing down on him, nearly choking him. In a hurry, he activated the Golden Bell Cover, raising his arms to guard protectively.

“Clang!!”

In the next instant, the ferocious punch struck Shi Tieshan’s body midair like an iron stake colliding with a great bell, producing a deafening clash of metal and gold. The rebounding force tore apart the ground around them, as if a giant hammer had crashed down, turning the solid stone tiles into fragments!

Boom!

The burly Shi Tieshan found his feet glued to the ground, sent flying by the punch. His feet carved two deep furrows in the earth, and he was violently propelled back four to five yards before finally stopping, his complexion shifting between green and white, a mouthful of fresh blood surging up, nearly spilling out but swallowed back forcefully.

“This is… the Void Breaking Divine Fist? The Perfection Realm’s Void Breaking Divine Fist?”

What shocked Gongsun Xiu the most was the sight before him, making the hairs on his neck stand on end.

The Void Breaking Divine Fist is not surprising for Su Hao; he obtained the credit for slaying Wu Huacheng and exchanged it for this technique. That powerful strike he unleashed from a full ten feet away was clearly something only achievable with the Void Breaking Divine Fist at the Perfection level! In less than six months, Su Hao managed to elevate this Void Breaking Divine Fist to the Perfection Realm? What an extraordinary talent!
