Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1680

Capítulo 1680: Chapter 1681: Confrontation

Their eyes met coldly, piercing with an unspoken hostility. Though they had only crossed paths twice, they both knew words would never sway the opponent even slightly.

One was someone who had sacrificed his own daughter, sending her to the execution block, all for his personal ambition and future.

The other was a man who risked life and limb, venturing alone into the heartlands of the Ancient Clan for the sake of the woman he loved.

To them, life was not the most important thing. What they held fast to in their hearts, the obsessions that consumed their minds—that was the essence of their greatest pursuit.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the two demonstrated an unspoken mutual understanding by simultaneously hurling their longswords and long knives forward.

The divine weapons crossed paths in midair without touching, as a cascade of sparks illuminated the collision of their divine senses.

No doubt, Luo Zongyuan, who stood firmly in the Martial Emperor Realm, used his divine weapon to suppress the fearsome thrusts of the Dragon Slayer Sword with unwavering dominance. Watching the display unfold, he spoke softly.

“As expected, you didn’t fight me at full strength during our last duel, but what does that matter? Do you truly believe that will be sufficient to defeat me?”

Though momentarily holding the upper hand, Luo Zongyuan sensed a sharper edge to Su Chengyu’s aura than before and remarked coldly.

Su Chengyu did not reply; his lack of full force in the prior battle wasn’t deliberate. At the time, he had lingering injuries from the Zhenjiang encounter, which hindered his ability to unleash his full power.

But today was no ordinary day. Driven by newfound confidence, Su Chengyu dared to draw Luo Zongyuan into a head-on, one-on-one confrontation.

“Divine Phoenix Devouring Heaven!”

As the immense Dharma Body materialized behind him, Su Chengyu’s figure abruptly moved to appear at Luo Zongyuan’s rear right. He raised a mid-air strike aimed directly at Luo Zongyuan.

Towering flames swept across heaven and earth; this mutated Divine Art demonstrated an unprecedented level of potency at that moment.

“Luo Shen Water Commandment!”

No time to evade, Luo Zongyuan sensed the overwhelming range of Su Chengyu’s technique. In an instant, he harnessed his True Qi and activated a secret technique.

Under his feet, an array mark emerged, manifesting a water shield that enveloped his entire body to block Su Chengyu’s sudden strike.

“Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique!”

Fully aware that the Phoenix Divine Art alone wouldn’t break through Luo Zongyuan’s True Qi-based technique, Su Chengyu decisively escalated the attack. Flames and thunders intermingled as countless heavenly bolts wrapped in fire descended onto Luo Zongyuan’s body.

With a deafening explosion, steam billowed between heaven and earth. The two figures clashed only momentarily before separating again.

As they touched the ground, far away the clashing divine weapons swiftly returned to their respective masters.

Two techniques, one collision.

Neither had secured an absolute advantage, yet the defending party had managed to withstand the onslaught unscathed. This alone visibly marked the sheer gap in strength between Su Chengyu and Luo Zongyuan.

Coming to grips with this, Luo Zongyuan wasted no time upon grasping his long knife. He forged ahead without hesitation.

A single step eradicated the distance between them, bringing him instantly before Su Chengyu.

“Raging Wave Splits the Sky!”

A heavy and seemingly plain chop carried the momentum to rend apart heavens and earth, crashing down toward Su Chengyu.

The Dragon Slayer Sword instinctively raised to shield overhead, but the collision of divine weapons exerted an immense pressure, forcing Su Chengyu’s figure downward by several levels!

Bang!

The tremendous blade energy swept past Su Chengyu’s figure, cleaving directly into the space, splitting the heavens and earth entirely. Even nature’s spiritual energy was forcibly divided into two segments.

Caught within this bifurcated domain, only Su Chengyu remained unscathed, spanning across both regions.

Looking down on Su Chengyu from above, Luo Zongyuan remarked coldly, “Do you still not understand? No matter the variety of techniques, they are nothing more than tools to kill your foes more easily. The absolute gap in realm, on the other hand, is the true deciding factor.”

Boom!

As his words fell, the True Qi from Luo Zongyuan’s long knife surged again. Under the immense pressure, the barely resisting Su Chengyu faltered and was forcibly sent crashing down to the ground.

Giving no breathing room, Luo Zongyuan charged forward, gripping his long knife for a lateral slash, aiming to cut Su Chengyu’s figure cleanly in two.

This time, Su Chengyu seemed utterly powerless to defend himself, as his figure appeared to be severed by the blade.

Hmm?

Luo Zongyuan sensed something amiss and furrowed his brow. The dangerous aura erupting from behind forced him to instinctively raise his long knife.

But even then, he was still just one step too slow. The Dragon Slayer Sword, carrying a terrifying momentum, landed squarely upon the blade of Luo Zongyuan’s knife!

“Zhenjiang!”

Zhenjiang brought the power of cause and effect.

This technique was one Su Chengyu derived during his time in Qinling, inspired by witnessing Chen Mengmeng wield the nascent strength of true cause and effect.

While Su Chengyu’s use of cause and effect power could not compare to Chen Mengmeng’s ability to make words follow law or her unshakable will manifest as reality, his sword technique carried a distinct binding force unmatched by any other momentum.

To be struck by this blade—Martial God or even Earth Immortal Martial God—meant their strength would inevitably be restrained.

This wasn’t Su Chengyu’s personal power but rather the almighty force of cause and effect imbued within heaven and earth itself.

All Su Chengyu did was force this cause and effect upon others.

This time, Su Chengyu set himself as the bait, ensuring the Dragon Slayer Sword landed squarely on Luo Zongyuan!

Though the Dragon Slayer Sword’s blade was blocked by the long knife, the power of cause and effect penetrated unimpeded directly into Luo Zongyuan’s body.

The invasive force triggered Luo Zongyuan’s instinctive resistance, but before the supreme force of heaven and earth, what chance did even a Martial Emperor have?

Sword intent and sword energy pierced into the sea of consciousness, stirring tidal waves within his mind. Luo Zongyuan’s True Qi plunged into utter chaos.

Spurt!

With a spray of blood erupting from his mouth, Luo Zongyuan realized the crisis and immediately retreated.

His figure swayed several times in midair before finally stabilizing in the distance.

The blood loss wasn’t caused by Su Chengyu’s sword momentum; in truth, Zhenjiang itself was not a particularly lethal sword technique.

Luo Zongyuan’s injury came from a self-inflicted backlash after forcibly spurring his True Qi.

The negative impact on his True Qi by the cause-and-effect power was far more severe than Luo Zongyuan had anticipated.

Having never expected Su Chengyu to deliver such a blade, Luo Zongyuan recoiled in astonishment, recalling the sword that had once struck deep into the heart of the Luo Clan. He lifted his gaze to Su Chengyu and spoke.

“That sword—it was you after all!”

Su Chengyu understood Luo Zongyuan’s meaning instantly, his expression remaining calm.

By now, Su Chengyu wasn’t entirely satisfied with delivering that strike.

Back then, he struck to awaken the Luo Clan and create an opportunity for himself.

But now, it seemed that his blade had instead paved the way for the Heaven Punishment Department.

Their forces capitalized on the timing of his strike, launching an aggressive assault against the Luo Clan.
