Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 737 - 377: Shock and Awe!
Previously on Summoning Players into My Game...
They knew the Ultimate Technique Level Martial Technique called Second Burst well. But their deep familiarity only amplified the terror they felt toward it. Although Lu Fanchen adjusted it by hurling away the light mass, its devastating power stayed intact, particularly after reaching the Heavenly Human Realm and igniting Energy Burst.
Such a technique possessed the might to raze an entire city or obliterate everything over hundreds of kilometers with barely any effort.
However, their mission was simply to seize Huang Jiu alive, yet Lu Fanchen clearly intended to end his life.
"You!"
When Huang Jiu spotted Lu Fanchen launching his attack, shock hit him first—he hadn’t anticipated yet another elite approaching the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm. Fear quickly followed.
Ultimate Technique Level Martial Technique!
This was obviously a desperate, all-in strike, not mere combat—this screamed pure desperation!
Against Lu Fanchen’s frantic blow, Huang Jiu reflexively deployed the Demigod Ultimate Technique Flame Fluctuation he had mastered.
Immediately, the qi and blood mirage cloaking Huang Jiu morphed into blazing flames. These flames squeezed tight into a blistering white inferno, blasting a ray across the Canglan Star that flooded hundreds of kilometers with blinding brilliance.
Once the ray and its glare dissipated, the seamless mountain chain had transformed into a massive gorge spanning dozens of kilometers. High above, Huang Jiu hacked up blood, chunks of his arms and torso vanished, his form upheld only by hardened qi and blood.
Lu Fanchen, the executor of Second Burst, sported a fist-sized puncture in his chest, bearing heavy wounds too. Such damage would devastate a standard Great Grandmaster. Yet for Lu Fanchen, it was just a light injury, flesh regrowing right before everyone’s eyes.
"A monster?" Huang Jiu gaped in disbelief at Lu Fanchen’s chest, pierced by no more than that.
Though his Flame Fluctuation drilled through portion of the light mass to reach Lu Fanchen, no expert near Half-step Divine Fusion Realm should withstand it—it was meant to vaporize the target instantly.
But the attack merely bored a fist-sized cavity into Lu Fanchen’s frame. Huang Jiu couldn’t help but wonder if the man was even human.
"To pierce through my ultimate technique with one move and injure me, a half-step Divine Fusion Realm is indeed powerful." Lu Fanchen eyed the hole in his chest and exclaimed despite himself.
His incredibly tough body had fueled his boldness to unleash Second Burst without total abandon. Sure enough, the technique’s recoil spared him major damage, though his entire frame ached and his skin burned fiercely.
Still, he never foresaw Huang Jiu’s overwhelming prowess, landing a hit on him instantly. Despite his mighty healing ability, the gash closed far slower than normal. He might not hold his own in a solo fight.
Luo Wushang and Ye Qinglu dodged swiftly with their resilient frames, enduring the mildest harm.
In the midst of battle, Hu Jin’s crew suffered far worse than Huang Jiu, Lu Fanchen, or the others. Every normal Grandmaster got erased completely, without even ashes left, while Hu Jin’s three guards lost limbs and chunks everywhere. If they hadn’t acted fast or if Huang Jiu hadn’t deflected the Second Burst, death would have claimed them.
"How could this be?"
"Why does the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have so many top-tier experts nearing the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm?"
The grievously hurt Hu Jin and his two guards stared up at Lu Fanchen and his allies in stunned confusion, struggling to grasp how the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall commanded three elites bordering Half-step Divine Fusion Realm. Prison Dragon Star itself didn’t boast so many. How could an upstart hall in Mist Mountain Domain City assemble three?
Before Hu Jin’s trio shook off their astonishment, Ye Qinglu fired off an Ultimate Technique Level Martial Technique, Three Thousand Worlds, at Huang Jiu, who riposted with Ultimate Technique Flame Fluctuation. The moment Flame Fluctuation overwhelmed Ye Qinglu, Luo Wushang had already closed in on Huang Jiu, brandishing a brand-new alloy longsword to hack at the enemy fresh from using Flame Fluctuation.
Advanced Martial Art Disorder Star!
Dozens of sword beams erupted in an instant, faster than imaginable. Even in the Realm of All Things, Huang Jiu couldn’t react adequately, deflecting just several blows before his head flew off and his body shredded into hundreds of fragments.
Luo Wushang snatched Huang Jiu’s head and triggered the paired Dark Light Step, turning into a beam of light that fled the battlefield, leaving Lu Fanchen—gearing up for a follow-up Second Burst—totally flabbergasted.
"Damn it! Got my kill stolen like that!" Lu Fanchen cursed out loud as he watched Luo Wushang vanish.
"Still not strong enough." Only half his life left, Ye Qinglu let out a sigh.
The news of Huang Jiu’s capture swept through Canglan Star like wildfire as Luo Wushang and her comrades finished off the battle against the three Domain Cities.
