"What are you going to do?" Jin Yong'an frowned, unsure of Si Qianyu's intentions.
His intuition told him that the girl in front of him seemed to be about to unleash a powerful move, but he had no idea what kind of move Si Qianyu was going to use.
“Your golden body is very powerful, I can’t break it, but I also have a golden body, although mine is a little different from yours.” Si Qianyu took another step forward.
With that step, a crack appeared in the granite beneath her feet.
"I think that using a golden body to break a golden body might still give us a chance of winning."
With a snap, she took another step, and her shoes suddenly shattered into dust. Barefoot, she continued walking forward.
"What exactly do you want?" Jin Yong'an desperately channeled his power, and the gold dust on his body intensified, making him stand there like a golden statue under the sunlight, appearing indestructible.
He didn't know what Si Qianyu was planning, nor did he know what tricks Si Qianyu had up her sleeve.
"I possess a golden body, called... the Undying Immortal Body." Si Qianyu took a step forward, her body rising into the void: "I wonder how I will fare against your Boundless Golden Body?"
Si Qianyu's tone instantly turned sharp. She took a few steps and was already floating in mid-air. Her body emitted a faint glow, making her stand in mid-air like an immortal descending to earth.
The Undying Immortal Body—this was the first time she had displayed her strength.
"This, this is... an indestructible immortal body?" Jin Yong'an was taken aback. He roared angrily and then frantically circulated his power, pushing his golden body to its limit.
However, Si Qianyu let out a clear whistle in mid-air, and waved her right hand forward in the void, descending from the sky like a shooting star. In the void, she raised her palm and slowly slapped it down.
Jin Yong'an roared, leaped up like a human bomb, and then charged towards Si Qianyu, throwing a punch.
Boom... A fist and a palm collided, producing a huge sound. Both of them were made of steel, and they kept hitting each other, one punch and one palm.
The battle has now devolved into pure hand-to-hand combat; whoever lasts the longest will be the winner.
Beneath their golden bodies, the solid mountain turned to dust; wherever their palm strikes landed, stone chips flew everywhere…
At Luoyu Slope, Su Ruochu finally managed to block the second finger, but she knelt on one knee with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
Jin Wenhong stood to the side, his expression calm and composed, appearing completely at ease.
"Not bad, you actually managed to withstand that finger strike without falling." Jin Wenhong's expression was quite complicated.
He had used more than 80% of his power in that finger strike, and even though he was two realms higher than Su Ruochu, he still couldn't defeat her.
If the opponent grows to the same level as him, perhaps only a Saint-level expert could defeat her?
He is now in a dilemma. On the one hand, he has developed a love for talent and cannot bear to let this genius die out.
Secondly, she is his enemy. If he doesn't eliminate her completely today, she will inevitably make a comeback in the future and become a formidable foe.
"Thank you for the compliment." Su Ruochu wiped the blood from her lips, then forced herself to stand up. With a wave of her right hand, the black lotus reappeared.
"Do you want to continue? If you surrender now, I might consider sparing you, but you'll have to stay in our Jinluo City," Jin Wenhong said.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it." Su Ruochu's expression was resolute: "You still have a third finger."
"Hehe, my third finger is named Sky-Supporting..." Jin Wenhong laughed: "You were already at your last gasp when you caught my second finger, are you sure you want to catch my third finger?"
"Otherwise what? You only used 80% of your strength just now. You haven't exerted your full power yet. I want to test how strong I am at my limit." Su Ruochu smiled slightly.
"You're insane!" Jin Wenhong couldn't help but curse aloud. "You're courting death."
“If you don’t kill me, I will return to Jinluo City one day and fight you to the death,” Su Ruochu said calmly.
Her words were meant to provoke the other party.
Sure enough, her words completely enraged Jin Wenhong.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent: "If you really want to die, then I don't mind granting your wish and getting rid of you sooner, so that our Jinluo City can be free from any worries."
"Then come on, let me see just how powerful your Sumeru Finger Third Finger really is." Su Ruochu smiled slightly.
“If I point this finger at you, you will die,” Jin Wenhong said.
"So be it, I have no family left in this world anyway." Su Ruochu looked towards the top of Giant Spirit Peak.
A dark cloud loomed low above the peak, clearly indicating that the map of rivers and mountains was gathering power.
"If it weren't for him, I would have no meaning in this world."
"You want to die for him? Fine, I'll grant your wish." Jin Wenhong sighed and said calmly, "I hope you won't regret it."
"I won't regret it." Su Ruochu took out a pot of wine, put down three cups, and filled each cup to the brim.
Then she took out a glass of wine, put it to her lips, swirled the wine in the glass, and softly recited: "Who feels the chill of the west wind alone? The rustling yellow leaves close the sparse window, I stand in the setting sun, lost in thought about the past."
She tilted her head back, downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, and then took out a second glass...
"This is... the Buddhist Three Precepts against drinking alcohol?" Jin Wenhong was shocked, his expression changing drastically: "Good, good, you're planning to die with me?"
Su Ruochu ignored him, picked up the second cup, and murmured, "Parting sorrows are like fine wine, intoxicating all throughout history."
She tilted her head back again, finished her second glass of wine, and raised her third.
Jin Wenhong roared and pointed his right hand into the air. A storm formed in the air, and a giant finger formed from the storm slowly fell from the sky.
Gazing up at the giant finger slowly descending from mid-air, Su Ruo murmured to herself, "Grandma..."
She downed the last glass of wine in one gulp, and her aura suddenly changed, her strength surging in an instant.
With a flick of his right hand, his natal lotus flower expanded continuously, heading towards the giant finger in mid-air.
The Buddhist precept against drinking alcohol is one of the three prohibitions. On the day Su Ruochu's grandmother broke the three prohibitions and entered Buddhism with this alcohol, she is now using the alcohol from the three prohibitions to break through her current state.
"Su Ruochu... Su Ruochu..." The thing inside the black lotus howled in despair, "I won't stop you from dying, but don't drag me down with you..."
“I’m leaving. No one in this world can control you anymore. How can I be at ease?” Su Ruochu smiled faintly. “So you’d better use all your strength. We are now one. If I die, you may not survive.”
"Are you an idiot? You cultivated me into your natal lotus, but you only cultivated the essence, not the destiny. Our compatibility is not enough. Give me three drops of blood to completely fuse our natal essences. That way, you can unleash a portion of my locked power, and neither of us will die," the Black Lotus howled.
