The Ancient Gods' Whisper
Chapter 336 - 174: The Hand that Tears Through Time_3
"What the fuck!"
The Butcher was utterly stunned. "Boss, invincible!"
The extent of the young girl's evolution naturally couldn't compare to his after consuming the Ancient God's Blood.
But it wasn't far off.
However, the power Su Youzhu displayed once again hastened the collapse of the dimension.
Of course, it wasn't just space-time collapsing.
After launching a strike, her body swayed slightly, and dense beads of blood seeped out from beneath her pale skin.
Even her breathing and heartbeat grew sluggish.
"Kill her!"
The eight Vajra Arhats exchanged glances and resolved to focus all their attacks on this weakened girl.
One Vajra Arhat decisively turned around, his skin turning bright red like a boiled lobster.
BOOM!
He self-destructed!
The Butcher was blasted away by the shockwave of the violent Qi Force, thrown into the air in screaming chaos!
"Boss!"
At that moment, his shock turned to fury as he tried to use the Ancient Divine Language to annihilate everything.
Yet in the silent void, there was no response!
The Supreme being did not answer his call!
Su Youzhu braced herself against her long blade, forcing herself upright, only to see the remaining seven Vajra Arhats barreling at her like cannonballs!
At the very last moment, a flicker of crimson shot through her pupils!
Time and space sank into a quagmire of silence, black and white blurring and spreading like ink across the gloomy cave. All noise ceased in their wake, as though everything were frozen solid.
The charging steps of the seven Vajra Arhats abruptly halted.
"Smash this space to pieces directly!"
The seven Ancient Martial warriors withdrew half a step in unison, clenched their fists, and began to gather power.
The violent Qi Force surged so fiercely that it nearly overturned the cave, erupting all at once!
BANG!
The Space Domain shattered in an instant!
Su Youzhu's icy gaze turned even colder as her Divine Speed Force surged to its absolute peak, and her Tang Blade slashed downward!
Countless strikes burst forth in a single moment, layered upon one another!
Using offense as her defense, she forcefully shattered the space while countering the oncoming Qi Force!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, the bombardment from the seven Vajra Arhats was savagely overwhelming, their countless fist shadows pouring down like a storm!
They employed a war of attrition.
Their gamble was simple: that the girl's body would ultimately collapse!
With a sharp crack, blood sprayed forth like a mist, and Su Youzhu's body emitted ominous sounds of imminent breakdown.
Yet her gaze grew even colder, and the speed of her blade intensified, flashing like the twinkle of starlight!
If this dragged on, her body would undoubtedly shatter.
But when faced with death, she showed no fear—none whatsoever. Instead, within her, she quietly accumulated spirituality, intending to replicate her prior ultimate strike, the killing slash, to sever the heads of her seven foes.
Life and death were outside her considerations.
Because she had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
She was a deeply resolute girl.
If someone showed her kindness, she repaid it.
If someone wronged her, she took vengeance.
Many years ago, a nine-year-old girl had stumbled her way into the Qilin Immortal Palace by accident.
In the desolate and savage Ancient God Realm, she lacked any means of survival.
She was on the verge of being devoured by a living corpse.
A man saved her.
That man protected her, taught her knowledge, and trained her in combat.
He even gifted her a Mythical Weapon, enabling her to take control of her own fate.
Master and disciple depended on one another in this transcendent world, living like this for a full eight years.
Later, that man died, his name sullied by false accusations.
She vowed to uncover the truth behind his death and clear his name.
No matter how difficult it would be, she had to accomplish this—it was her promise.
"She's almost finished charging up, hurry!"
The seven Vajra Arhats roared in fury, their Qi Force exploding into Berserk at its peak, like ravenous beasts.
Ferocious Qi Force broke through violently.
Killing intent flooded Su Youzhu's eyes, and the overwhelming bloodlust filled the cave.
After this strike, it would be a battle of life or death.
BANG!
For a brief moment, a heavy, hammering sound rang out.
It was like a battering ram pummeling a fortified wall.
But it didn't come from the seven Vajra Arhats.
Nor did it originate from the bombarded Butcher.
And it certainly wasn't from Su Youzhu—she didn't possess such power.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The heavy hammering grew clearer and clearer, shaking the stone cave to its foundations, threatening collapse!
On the verge of crumbling!
The sound of the striking seemed to reverberate through everyone's hearts.
The seven Vajra Arhats didn't know what kind of monstrous entity they were facing, but they gritted their teeth, crushing the secret medicine hidden in their molars. In that instant, they collectively lost control, extracting every last ounce of their berserk power, their momentum surging toward the limit.
Su Youzhu's grip on her Tang Blade tightened slightly, her blood-red eyes closing.
Her black hair fluttered.
Overwhelming Qi Force surged like tidal waves crashing against a rocky shore, completely engulfing her.
What would happen next?
She didn't know.
But just then, space-time shattered with a deafening roar!
BANG!
With an explosive, collapsing sound, a massive, pitch-black void manifested from thin air, heralding the collapse of space!
BOOM!
Billowing black mist surged forth, swallowing all the light in the cave.
A fist clad in jet-black Dragon Scales burst through the black void, seemingly smashing apart space-time itself!
In the darkness, a pair of blazing golden eyes ignited, void of any emotion.
