CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 162 UNYIELDING!

It is common for ordinary people to suddenly unleash potential during times of crisis, thereby lifting cars pressed on their bodies or running at unimaginable speeds.

However, in Lu Ren’s eyes now, these have already become standard attack methods without harming his body.

Seeing Lu Ren remain silent, merely focusing on moving his own body, Kuishan’s face showed displeasure.

Lu Ren suddenly looked up, gazing at the summit of Qingcheng Mountain, as he could sense the magnetic field emitted by Kuishan himself that was incompatible with this world.

Therefore, as a super master in the Bright Awakening Realm, Ji Quanzhen should have easily perceived the obvious dissonance of this magnetic field.

Why hasn’t there been any response? The Spirit and Martial Path expert White Ape Ji Heng should have sensed it too.

Has the mountain also encountered something?

How did this Kuishan even get here?

Why did he appear so abruptly?

Generally, if Lu Ren’s side is swept into the Exotic Realm, it usually comes with regional divine concealment.

The very thing that Lu Ren feared most finally happened, as people from the Exotic Realm seemed to have started entering the real world.

Is it an accidental event, or will it become a routine matter in the future?

His mind raced, and without waiting for this fellow named Kuishan to say more, he glanced at the faint cut mark on the alloy longsword.

He must find the time to custom order a specialized one internally, as against such opponents, the Yan-style heavy sword, being a two-handed sword, doesn’t hold an advantage.

Enhancing the heavy sword further would feel good.

As this thought crossed his mind, Lu Ren took a step forward.

Boom!

The stone brick under his feet exploded and scattered, and he shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

"Huh?!"

Watching Lu Ren charge towards him first, Kuishan revealed a grin with teeth sharp like a white shark.

He didn’t hesitate either. His body, as if a drawn bow, tightened sharply, and then, as the bowstring was released, he too shot forward with blazing speed.

Clang!!

The moment the sword and blade struck forcefully, a resonating clash spread through the skies.

The two swords remained deadlocked without retreat, as the two tall and burly men wielded their weapons with forceful collision, delivering an indescribable visual shock.

They fought head-on, with no intention of retreating.

Lu Ren’s eyes flashed with gravity; his opponent’s strength was undeniably strong and required serious attention.

Who from the Exotic Realm is this?

With just a second’s pause, their swords clashed and the sound of their collision rang continuously like dense rain.

With flashes of blades and shadows of swords, each attack by both sides could stir intense changes in airflow. The friction between weapons at high speed even formed sword winds and blade qi capable of causing harm.

The onlookers had to retreat again and again, fearing that even a stone shard flying out with a bit more strength from sword qi or blade edge would take them along.

Surpassing the attack frequency that the human retina could capture, it felt like two masses of blade light and sword shadow were colliding.

In just a short ten-second span, the surrounding air was directly rubbed intensely hot under the high-frequency exchanges.

Their attacks suddenly halted, both men steaming heat from their bodies, and the copious vapor made the vicinity slightly foggy.

Lu Ren took a deep breath, glancing at the Yan-style heavy sword in his hand, which had countless nicks of various sizes from the fierce collision.

The sword’s body was also lined with cracks at this moment.

While Kuishan’s heavy sword wasn’t in much better condition, surely, a few more intense collisions would break it.

"You’re strong!"

Kuishan spoke, his bloodshot eyes seemed like they hadn’t slept for days and nights, yet his overall Essence, Qi, and Spirit were still exuberant.

"Thanks for pointing that out, invincibility among those present!"

Lu Ren, internally retorting, displayed a cold expression on his face, paying no heed to Kuishan’s words, as he took out a solid high-pressure compressed water pellet from the waist bag behind him and swallowed it.

Developed by the bio-solid pharma research institute under the Martial Arts Research Institute, it replenishes water, compressed with over ten thousand pascal atmospheric pressure, and encased in an extraordinarily special heat-insulated and edible material, ensuring long-term preservation.

Simply one bead-sized piece in Lu Ren’s hand stores up to a liter of water.

Extremely expensive, it’s currently impossible to mass-produce, purely a laboratory product.

However, related equipment researchers said they are working overtime to modify it, and perhaps soon, small-scale production will be possible to supply frontline combatants.

Feeling the stomach acid corroding the coating of the solid water piece, small holes formed, which began to release water to rapidly replenish the water evaporated from his body moments ago.

"We can talk!"

Kuishan spoke, his hands lowered, moving his body, seeming certain that Lu Ren wouldn’t advance to attack.

"Talk?"

Lu Ren spat out a word, his face full of disdain, and with that.

He stepped forward, instantly leaping high, and fiercely descended towards Kuishan.

Ordinarily, for a Martial Path practitioner to leap into the air without a point to leverage, unless there’s a significant power gap between them, it’s practically suicidal.

But he is Lu Ren!

What surprised Kuishan was, with Lu Ren’s arms slightly spread and his posture slightly bent, a strange spiritual will spread from Lu Ren’s body.

Like a divine bird descending from the Nine Heavens, sweeping across the sky with a thunderous momentum.

His spirit seamlessly integrated under the Lamp of Freedom’s ignition.

In a trance, everyone felt as if a True Phoenix engulfed in flames was indeed descending from the Nine Heavens with a thunderous momentum.

Seeing this, Kuishan was immensely enraged; since his countless battles, no one had ever dared to defy his words.

His posture slightly sank, and his whole body suddenly burst with concentric circles of red flames swirling around him.

In another blink, Lu Ren and Kuishan’s swords struck again, with the sound of weapon collision so loud it was unbearable, causing eardrums to burst within 20 meters and intolerable pain within 50 meters.

In the next moment, neither could withstand the intense destruction any longer as both their weapons broke and shattered into pieces.

"This, this, this..."

The group of university students, who were on a modern university tour, were truly stunned speechless by the scene.

Can human martial power reach such a level?

It completely defies imagination, making them feel as if the world had changed, their perceptions were being shattered.

"Could it be, the long-advertised Martial Arts Family truly exists?"

"Can firearms even affect such people?"

Lu Ren was not surprised at all by the breaking of his weapon, his objective was to break the weapon in Kuishan’s hand as well.

"You..."

The furious Kuishan hadn’t finished his words when, in the instant Lu Ren landed, Lu Ren spread his arms in a punch.

Phoenix Falcon Fist, Phoenix Beak!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

The air exploded in that instant, and the precisely set punching point allowed Lu Ren’s punch path to be repeated continuously.

(Haha, didn’t see that coming, did you? I’ve updated another Chapter. I’m really exhausted, might not be able to do it tomorrow. Thank you all!)
