"Haha, Master, are you joking right now?" Shun's heart was already retreating. He now wished he could slap himself a few times.
If he wanted to leave, he could have just left a note saying "Don't miss me." Why did he have to explain everything clearly and then take a beating for nothing?
"Do you think Master is joking?" The moment Fu Hua finished speaking, the weapon in her hands known as Fenghuang Down suddenly erupted with dazzling red light, like a burning sun, instantly illuminating the surrounding darkness.
At the same time, behind Fu Hua, a powerful force surged forth, transforming into blazing flames that shot straight into the sky, as if they wanted to set the entire heavens ablaze. The flames resembled a soaring fire kite, tumbling and dancing wildly in the air. Wherever they passed, the air was scorched and distorted, crackling loudly. The scene was simply too shocking, enough to make anyone's blood run cold.
Even from far away, Shun could feel a powerful force rushing toward him. He felt as if he were now standing on the surface of the sun.
The surrounding space had been burned and twisted… Fu Hua's move had directly disabled half of Shun's spatial abilities, rendering many delicate operations unusable.
"Ugh… Can we talk this out?" However, Fu Hua seemed as if she hadn't heard him at all. She remained silent, offering no verbal response.
Just as the moment grew unbearably tense, a sudden gust of wind howled in without warning! The wind was sharp and piercing, like the roar of a ferocious beast. In the blink of an eye, it had swept right beside Shun. The force was so violent that Shun could barely stand steady, his body swaying uncontrollably.
"Cun Jin · Mountain Collapse!" It was obvious that Fu Hua was truly getting serious. The Fenghuang Down in her hands, wrapped in raging flames and terrifying kinetic energy, swung toward Shun.
The fist wind formed of flames advanced, blasting a distant mountain peak into rubble.
"So scary!" Shun's body appeared in the distance. If that punch had landed on him, he would definitely be covered in bruises.
"Did he escape?" The feeling that the previous punch hadn't hit anything solid suggested that Shun must have been prepared to run away. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to react in such a short time.
Fu Hua suddenly reversed her grip with her right hand and caught a long spear. Only then did the sound of air being torn apart belatedly arrive.
This was Shun's Cosmic Juggernaut, the Divine Key that could manipulate gravity. The spear that had once pinned down a Judgment-class Honkai beast had actually been casually caught by Fu Hua.
Shun wasn't surprised. Beings like Fu Hua and Durandal, who possessed Honkai beast genes even if his own Honkai resistance was unlimited in terms of pure strength, the gap between him and them was like a chasm.
"But I also know a bit about fist and foot techniques." Shun used a spatial shift to appear on the shaft of Cosmic Juggernaut. At the same time, the spear emitted purple fluctuations.
Fu Hua felt a massive force coming from the spear in her hand, but fortunately it was still within her acceptable range.
Looking at Shun who had suddenly appeared, Fu Hua's face remained calm. She planned to casually fling the spear away. In close combat, ten thousand Shuns combined still wouldn't be her opponent.
But Shun had finally seized the initiative how could he let Fu Hua succeed so easily? With a thought, he activated Cosmic Juggernaut's ability. Every muscle and bone in Fu Hua's body simultaneously experienced varying degrees of gravity.
If Shun had simply applied Cosmic Juggernaut's maximum "thousand-fold gravity" to Fu Hua's entire body, then Fu Hua only needed a moment to adapt before she could continue using "Flame Fist" on him.
But what if he applied different levels of gravity to all 639 muscles, 206 bones, and 365 acupoints across Fu Hua's body?
Even a MANTIS probably couldn't adapt to such an environment in an extremely short time…
Had her body lost control? Fu Hua felt that every part of her body seemed to no longer obey her commands. Immediately after, Shun's fist was already right in front of her eyes.
"Cun Jin · Sky Opening!" As the most powerful move in the Cun Xin Fist style, Shun used it without holding anything back.
"Master, let this move repay you for your teachings!" Even if it was still a bit lacking in mastery, the power of this move was no small matter!
"Boom!" The moment Shun's fist made intimate contact with Fu Hua's cheek, Fu Hua's body shot backward like a ball, flying straight off the mountaintop.
Of course, this alone naturally couldn't cause any real harm to Fu Hua. The fact that he had succeeded earlier was only because it was unexpected. Once Fu Hua was prepared, there would probably be no chance.
Not long after, a high-pitched, passionate cry that seemed to pierce the clouds and split rocks suddenly resounded through the nine heavens! The sound seemed to contain endless power and passion, shaking anyone who heard it to the core.
At that moment, a massive fire kite burning with raging flames shot up from the foot of the mountain like lightning, rushing straight toward the vast blue sky! Its speed was as fast as a meteor, leaving a long trail of flames in its wake, like a fire dragon twisting and soaring through the air. The scene was extremely spectacular and shocking.
"She's even using her treasured form and enlarged it!" Shun naturally recognized what this was it was the "Blazing Feather Mystic Spirit" ultimate move of Fu Hua in her Blazing Feather form from the game.
If this attack landed solidly, the entire mountain would probably be burned into nothingness.
What to do? There was no way Shun could dodge Fu Hua's move in such a short time. Even if he hid in Imaginary Space, Fu Hua would probably drag him out and beat him up.
Just look at how Sirin naively tried to block Fu Hua with Imaginary Space in the game you could tell what happened. Fu Hua could easily shatter the barrier between Imaginary and Real numbers.
While Shun was racking his brains trying to figure out how to counter the move, in his blind spot where he hadn't noticed, a pink-white feather slowly drifted down.
High above in the vast sky, the Blazing Feather Mystic Spirit that had been circling in the distant firmament suddenly underwent another astonishing change!
A brilliant, dazzling firelight suddenly ignited, instantly slicing through layer after layer of thick clouds. Immediately after, a massive spirit sword glowing fiery red and radiating scorching heat appeared beside the Blazing Feather Mystic Spirit.
The giant sword seemed to be burning with raging flames. The air around the blade was distorted and blurred by the high temperature, as if it had just emerged from an endless abyss of flames, descending upon the world with world-destroying might.
"This is… Taixu Sword God?!" Shun felt the terrifying mental fluctuations coming from the fiery red giant sword and fell into shock. Why?
Wasn't Fu Hua only planning to test him? In the illusion, even if he got hit point-blank by Kevin's Finality and died, nothing would really happen…
But… Taixu Sword God was different… because this was the Taixu Sword God. It was Fu Hua's ultimate move, one of the rare techniques in this world capable of directly attacking the spirit.
This was a move that could knock even the Honkai God offline! He, Shun, just a tiny little Calamity, what qualifications did he have to receive the same treatment as six-core Sirin?
"Why, why, why, why, why…" Under the double pressure of the Blazing Feather Mystic Spirit and Taixu Sword God, Shun could barely even stand straight.
If he took this hit, even if he didn't die, he would become a vegetable… Although Fu Hua never said it out loud, Shun knew she had always doted on him.
There was one day when he had trained until very late, and Fu Hua had personally gone to the kitchen to make him a midnight snack.
Her usual care and concern didn't seem fake at all. It was clear that Fu Hua had always been conveying her love to Shun in her own way.
But… why would this Master who treated him so well suddenly use Taixu Sword God on him?
"Master! Why are you using Taixu Sword God?!"'
("Ordinary" and "It's only natural"… what are they…?)
