I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 293: The Force of the Breaking Army, No Return!
Lu Tianfang handed over the Blood Drink Saber to Tang Jue, which theoretically wasn't a problem. But in practice, it was tantamount to playing dirty.
Today's match was a test of personal strength, yet he'd given his premier Earth Weapon to Tang Jue. What was that about?
With the might of the Blood Drink Saber, a full-force strike between the two would shatter Su Wuming's Coiling Dragon Spear in an instant. How could the fight continue then?
The surrounding Xuanjia Guards who were watching all started discussing among themselves, even booing quite a bit.
The Demon Cleansing Bureau respected power above all; win with honor and no one could complain.
But to win with external aid was a hollow victory, lacking in martial valor.
Tang Jue's face still bore a smile, unchanged.
This man had always been unscrupulous in his ways, caring only for victory whatever the means.
Let these people talk; once he made a name for himself at the Weapon Casting Conference, he would be the face of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's young generation!
Suddenly, Wen Tingyun passed a message to Xu Cunbao, who snorted coldly. "Fine, fine, fine. Since Tang Jue can use your weapon, then it's fair for Su Wuming to use mine. Catch!"
As Xu Cunbao's words fell, he pulled out his Earth Weapon, the Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear, from his Qiankun Bag and threw it to Su Wuming.
Su Wuming caught it and unfurled it. The black banner whipped in the wind, emitting a wooshing sound even without the enhancement of Gang Qi.
Lu Tianfang laughed lightly, "Of course, that's acceptable. I've always been one to follow the rules; if Tang Jue can use the Blood Drink Saber, then certainly Su Wuming can use an Earth Weapon as well."
Even if Xu Cunbao gave Su Wuming the Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear, Lu Tianfang didn't take it seriously. Let him use it.
Among Earth Weapons, Xu Cunbao's Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear was only middling.
Inside the large banner of the Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear was the Ascending Dragon Array, which could enhance strength and solidify Gang Qi.
At most, this was like an enhanced Mystical Weapon; many Mystical Weapons had similar effects, just not as much as provided by the Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear.
And the spear itself contained the bone of a Flood Dragon, making it exceptionally sharp – a basic effect as well.
If an Earth Weapon couldn't even achieve basic sharpness, then what kind of Earth Weapon was it?
All things considered, the Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear and Lu Tianfang's Blood Drink Saber weren't even on the same level. It would be useless for Su Wuming to use it.
"Begin!" Xu Cunbao said with a stern look.
As his words fell, Su Wuming's Qi Blood Power suddenly ignited fiercely.
And this was no ordinary burning of internal energy.
Within the boiling Qi Blood Power surged a purple mystical flame, amplifying the power of the burning by more than tenfold!
This was the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique that Yan Xuankong had taught Han Zheng!
After acquiring this technique, Han Zheng felt that it actually suited Su Wuming even better.
He was going to burn his Qi Blood Power anyway, so why not burn it even more intensely.
So, on the road earlier, Han Zheng had taken the opportunity to give the technique to Su Wuming.
Su Wuming did not refuse.
He had been saved by Han Zheng before and still owed him a life; he was destined to repay that debt with his life, so this little thing didn't matter, and Su Wuming readily accepted.
This technique actually originated from the Capital Demon Suppression Department and, in theory, shouldn't be taught to outsiders.
But now only Yan Xuankong's Yang God Body remained, for reasons unknown, the prohibitions of the Demon Department had ceased, so the technique was freely teachable to others.
At that moment when the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique was activated, the immense pressure of the powerful Qi Blood Power even caused a suffocating sense of oppression, and Tang Jue, who was confident just a moment ago, had a slight change in his expression.
This madman!
He was burning his Qi Blood Power during a normal match; wasn't he afraid of burning himself to death?
In the next moment, Su Wuming had already made his move.
The Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear danced; the black dragon banner stirred in the wind, and as the Gang Qi diffused, faint shadows of the Black Dragon could be seen, roaring ferociously.
With a thrust of the spear, the shadow of the Black Dragon instantly merged within it, as if piercing through heaven and earth, emitting a deafening roar.
Tanz Jue's Blood Drink Saber erupted with Blood Slaughter, slashing down with a force that seemed to cover the skies, the Blood Slaughter crazily surged forth in an instant, his saber's momentum fierce and resolute, the aura tremendously grand.
When saber met spear, the endless Blood Slaughter instantly engulfed the Black Dragon, and even devoured a significant amount of the Qi Blood Power surrounding Su Wuming, this intensified the Blood Slaughter Qi on the saber even further.
Strictly speaking, the Blood Drink Saber was particularly effective against Su Wuming.
The Blood Drink Saber could devour blood energy, even the blood energy that Su Wuming was burning could be swallowed by the Blood Drink Saber, the result being that the wielder would grow stronger with every strike, while the opponent would become increasingly weaker.
However, after one exchange, the one at a disadvantage was actually Tang Jue.
The strength of Su Wuming after burning his Qi Blood Power was just too formidable.
Even with the Blood Drink Saber in hand and its endless Blood Slaughter power boost, Tang Jue's strength was still far weaker than Su Wuming's by a large margin.
The immense power came crashing through. Tang Jue was sent flying out, his tiger's mouth numbing with the impact.
Before he could react, Su Wuming's Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear was already thrusting towards him in rapid succession, the shadow of the spear was almost tangible, each thrust seemed as if it was going to pierce through everything before it!
Tang Jue instantly switched from offense to defense; his entire body shielded by Blood Slaughter Qi yet it was continuously shattered by Su Wuming's relentless attacks, forcing Tang Jue to retreat step by step.
Lu Tianfang's Blood Drink Absolute Saber was also a sword skill of extreme might, ferocious and venomous, with outstanding momentum.
But at this moment, Tang Jue was not even able to utilize the essence of Blood Drink Absolute Saber. He was completely being suppressed by Su Wuming.
Tang Jue was not overly panicked though.
He knew that Su Wuming's burning of Qi Blood Power was bound to burst forth initially, then wane, and finally exhaust.
Holding the Blood Drink Saber and continuously devouring Su Wuming's Qi Blood Power, Tang Jue was sure to get stronger as the battle went on.
And with Su Wuming's Qi Blood Power burning continuously and being devoured by the Blood Drink Saber, he was bound to get weaker.
There was no need for Tang Jue to be anxious; if he dragged out the fight, the victory was bound to be his. There was no need to fall into Su Wuming's rhythm.
Realizing this, Tang Jue actually gave up his offense, completely adopting a defensive stance, allowing himself to be oppressed by Su Wuming. The scene was rather unsightly, prompting several jeers from the Xuanjia Guards watching the excitement around.
Relying on the power of weapons for a competition was already shameless, but now to resort to delay tactics as well?
Using such dirty tricks against Demons is one thing but now using them against one's own people was a bit too shameless.
But Tang Jue was not affected at all.
He only needed to win, not to save face.
However, what followed was somewhat beyond Tang Jue's expectation.
He thought of dragging it out until Su Wuming exhausted his strength, but Su Wuming instead surged with vigor, and his power only grew!
The more they fought, the more intense and fierce Su Wuming's fighting spirit became. His Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear roared and churned, a dragon's roar shaking the heavens, and Tang Jue could no longer hold his head up.
The irrevocable momentum of breaking armies has always been to fight ever more fiercely; how could it fizzle out or meet an untimely end?
Tang Jue realized too late that something was amiss; he wouldn't be able to wait for Su Wuming to be drained—it was he himself who could hardly hold on!
Bursting forth with Blood Slaughter Gang Qi, Tang Jue attempted to counterattack, at least to break free from Su Wuming's relentless assault and not forever be trapped in his rhythm.
The tragic realization hit him: he couldn't muster even a counterattack.
The Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear surged, lifting like a dragon raising its head, and with that enormous lifting force, Tang Jue's Blood Drink Saber was flung out of his hand.
The next instant, a spear thrust aimed straight for Tang Jue's chest!
Burning Qi Blood Power erupting, Tang Jue retreated as if his life depended on it while loudly exclaiming, "I surrender! I surrender!"
Su Wuming, that madman—if Tang Jue didn't surrender, the other party would certainly catch up and puncture a hole in him!
After returning the Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear to Xu Cunbao, Su Wuming, pale-faced and devoid of any expression, turned and returned to Han Zheng's side.
Xu Cunbao said with a smile, "Lord Lu, although weapons are useful, they're not all that effective. The path of Martial Arts ultimately depends on oneself."
Lu Tianfang's expression was grim. With a wave of his hand, he summoned back the Blood Drink Saber that Su Wuming had sent flying, glaring fiercely at Tang Jue.
Useless!
With the Blood Drink Saber in hand, he still couldn't defeat Su Wuming!
