Moreover, the Thunder Technique has an amplifying effect. If Gu Yu's guess is correct, it will amplify at least twice. Unlike the Blade Nourishing Technique and the Heaven Opening Technique, the Thunder Technique is a long-lasting technique, just like the system's triple amplification. As for how long it can last, Gu Yu doesn't know, but judging from Zhang Huangling's condition, it should be quite long.
"Damn human, I'll tear you to pieces!" Seeing Zhang Huangling rescue Gu Yu from his grasp, the Minotaur was furious. If it were just a master, it would be one thing, but it was a peak fourth-tier expert. For a Minotaur in the General Realm, this was simply an insult.
"You beast, today I will act on behalf of Heaven." Zhang Huangling's eyes sharpened, and lightning instantly emanated from his body, crackling and popping. This caused Gu Yu, who was standing next to him, to take a few steps to the side.
It wasn't intentional, but rather an unconscious act. After all, subconsciously, being struck by lightning is extremely unpleasant.
"Thunder Technique, Thunderclap!" Zhang Huangling waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning instantly spread towards the Minotaur race.
"Thousand-Pound Bull Demon Fist." Facing the incoming lightning, the Minotaur did not dare to be careless. He immediately threw a punch, and the lightning was instantly shattered by the Thousand-Pound Bull Demon Fist. Zhang Huangling's body dodged the punch with a burst of energy, and the next second he charged towards the Minotaur.
When Zhang Huangling charged towards the Minotaur tribe, Gu Yu also swung his sword and charged forward.
"The Creation of Heaven and Earth".
"Thunder magic, with the force of a thunderbolt."
Gu Yu and Zhang Huangling attacked the Minotaur race from the left and right respectively.
"Bull Demon's Wrath." Facing the two attacks, the Minotaur stomped his feet, and a terrifying sonic wave swept out.
This time, however, the sound waves did not repel Gu Yu and Zhang Huangling.
"Thunder magic, reaching to the heavens and the earth." In an instant, the minotaur was enveloped in lightning, and the smell of roasted meat wafted out. Gu Yu watched this scene and his lips twitched.
It seems I should also study combat techniques when I have time. Currently, apart from Heaven Opening and Extinction Cross Slash, I don't have any other powerful combat techniques.
Of course, he wouldn't use the "Heaven and Earth Grieve Together" move unless absolutely necessary, as it would be too taxing on his body.
roar……………
The minotaur emerged instantly from the lightning, his body charred black, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
"Damn humans, if the old ox hadn't been unarmed, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state," the minotaur said.
"Eight Directions Sky-Piercing Slash." Instead of an answer, he was met with Gu Yu's ultimate move, as countless densely packed blade energies swept towards him.
He immediately condensed his inner energy into a protective shield to block Gu Yu's sword energy.
"Thunder Technique, Purple-Gold Thunder Hammer." The instant the Minotaur conjured his protective shield, Zhang Huangling appeared above the Minotaur's head, lightning crackling around him, and a huge thunder hammer appeared in his hand.
A violent bolt of lightning crashed down upon the Minotaur, the power of which had reached the level of a general.
Boom... Crack... Boom...
"Open Heaven." The moment the Minotaur's defenses were breached by the Purple-Gold Thunder Hammer, Gu Yu unleashed his attack.
The minotaur's pupils dilated instantly as Gu Yu's Creation Technique and the Purple-Gold Thunder Hammer slammed into his head, causing his two horns to explode.
A mouthful of blood spurted out in an instant, and the Minotaur's aura weakened instantly.
"They're really tough-skinned; they're still alive." Zhang Huangling sighed as he looked at the minotaur lying on the ground, breathing weakly, and near death.
"Although this guy is at the General Realm, I always feel that his power is being suppressed by something and he can't fully unleash it." Gu Yu stared at the Minotaur and said. Based on his memories from his previous life, the Minotaur is far stronger than humans of the same level. Although he and Zhang Huangling can both reach the peak of the fifth cone, it shouldn't be so easy for a sixth cone Minotaur, even if the opponent is only at the early stage of the sixth cone. It seems that Long Aotian has been holding back quite a bit.
"He can't hold on much longer." Zhang Huangling looked at Dugu Xing, whose face was no longer composed. His hair was disheveled and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
“This minotaur is too strong. The fact that Dugu Xing has been able to hold out for so long is enough to prove his strength. The best way now is for us to unite and deal with this commander-level minotaur. If we fight separately, we will definitely be defeated one by one by this guy,” Gu Yu suggested. This was also the purpose of Long Aotian releasing this guy.
“Brother Gu Yu, that may be true, but even if you and I went up to help, along with Dugu Xing, we would still be no match for that beast. As for the others, they'll just be watching the show. If they wanted to join in, they would have already done so,” Zhang Huangling said. Of the people present, apart from Xiang Tianjiao and Ma Li, the others were just watching from the sidelines. If they had joined in like Zhang Huangling, not to mention the Commander Realm expert, the other two General Realm experts would have been finished long ago.
"Perhaps they're still hoping that the Minotaur in the Commander Realm will kill Dugu Xing soon, after all, that guy is too strong, he can be said to be the undisputed number one among us," Gu Yu said.
"Sigh!" Zhang Huangling sighed upon hearing Gu Yu's words, and most of the people present shared the same thought.
"Human, you are extraordinary. If we were of the same level, I would never be your match," the Minotaur youth said as he sent Dugu Xing flying with a single punch.
This human was different from what they had imagined. He was physically powerful, even more powerful than them, but his cultivation level was too low. Moreover, several of the humans present were beyond his expectations.
"Cough cough..." At this moment, Dugu Xing stood up, and the golden light around him not only did not diminish but increased, and his aura became even more surging.
"Special physique." Gu Yu looked at Dugu Xing in surprise. He had already recognized Dugu Xing's physique: the God of War physique, born for battle, never ceasing until death, becoming stronger with each battle, and the stronger the enemy, the stronger he would become.
Every time someone falls, as long as they don't die, they get back up stronger; such a person is extremely terrifying.
"Eight Extremes Annihilation Fist!" Dugu Xing suddenly charged towards the Minotaur in the Commander Realm once again, unleashing a violent and terrifying power.
"So strong! His true combat strength is comparable to the peak of the General Realm, or even slightly stronger." Zhang Huangling murmured, "Dugu Xing, he truly lives up to his reputation."
“But that Shuai Jing is too powerful. Even with his special physique and ability to become stronger with each battle, he is still no match for him,” Gu Yu said.
"Sigh!" Zhang Huangling sighed, and he instantly charged towards the Minotaur in the Commander Realm.
Seeing this, Gu Yu hesitated for a moment and followed.
"Ri Jiu, He Wen, Yang Xinxin, protect them well," Gu Yu instructed.
"Thousand-Pound Bull Demon Fist." Facing the overwhelming aura of Dugu Xing, the Minotaur glanced at Long Aotian on the city gate, and then threw out a punch of his own, colliding with Dugu Xing's Eight Extremes Annihilation Fist.
Two powerful forces collided, like two meteors colliding, bursting forth with dazzling light. The ground trembled, and the air vibrated.
Dugu Xing's Eight Extremes Annihilation Fist was as fierce as a storm, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, while the Commander Realm Minotaur's Thousand-Pound Bull Demon Fist was like a raging bull, with unparalleled power.
The moment their fists collided, a massive shockwave spread outwards, tearing the surrounding air apart. A flicker of surprise crossed Long Aotian's eyes on the city gate. This Dugu Xing was impressive; although he was still at a disadvantage with this punch, he had forced out the fighting techniques of a Minotaur at the Commander Realm.
He had thought that getting the Minotaur race in the Commander Realm to use their battle techniques would require the combined efforts of many people.
boom………
Lonely Xing was sent flying backward like a cannonball, while Gu Yu and Zhang Huangling, who rushed up to help, were also forced back by the aftershocks of their energy.
“You don’t need to hold back. Since I’ve already agreed, I will absolutely not go back on my word or make a move,” Long Aotian said to the Minotaur youth.
“You humans are despicable and shameless. These people are your geniuses. If I kill them, do you think you will let me go?” said the Minotaur youth.
“Even if you don’t believe my promise, you will still die,” Long Aotian replied.
“Long Aotian, I am a member of the royal family. My grandfather and father are both at the Emperor Realm. If you kill me, they will definitely not let you go.” The Minotaur youth said after hearing Long Aotian’s words.
“Heh…” Long Aotian sneered, “If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have captured you.”
“You…” The Minotaur youth gritted his teeth. Yes, he was different from the other Minotaur chieftains. Perhaps ordinary human cultivators couldn’t see his identity, but how could Long Aotian not see it? The fact that the other party dared to capture him meant that he wasn’t afraid of the Emperor Realm behind him.
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take a few down with me." A meteor hammer appeared in the hand of the Minotaur youth, and streams of black energy emanated from his body.
"Oh no, he..." Shi Polu looked at Long Aotian with some worry when he saw the Minotaur youth take out a weapon.
During his battle with Dugu Xing, the Minotaur youth had not used his true strength because he was wary of Long Aotian, but at this moment he was clearly no longer wary.
“Li Daoquan, Kong Yan, Sima Wentian, Ling Juefeng, Nangong Yang…” Zhang Huangling called out a long list of names. “Do you really want to wait for him to defeat you one by one? Yes! You can stand here like spectators now, but can you still watch the show after he kills you all?”
“Alright! I’m willing to go with you.” Li Daoquan was the first to speak. Dugu Xing was no longer making a move. Zhang Huangling’s words were not an exaggeration. Moreover, they had always thought that Long Aotian wouldn’t do anything serious, but judging from Long Aotian’s words, it seemed that he really didn’t intend to make a move. If this continued, they would indeed be killed one by one.
“I’m willing too.” Kong Yan stepped forward, followed by Sima Wentian, and then the others followed suit.
They stood in a row, all looking at the Minotaur youth.
"You overconfident ants, even if you join forces, you are no match for me." The Minotaur youth said to the group, and the next second his body suddenly moved, and his meteor hammer swept towards them.
"The Creation of Heaven and Earth".
"Thunder Magic, Purple-Gold Thunder Hammer."
"Phoenix Divine Fire, a spark can start a prairie fire." Kong Yan was surrounded by the blazing flames of a phoenix, which instantly transformed into a firebird to meet the meteor hammer.
"The Daoist magic brings forth purple energy from the east." A long sword appeared in Li Daoquan's hand, and he suddenly aimed it at the meteor hammer.
……………
Dozens of dazzling attacks surged towards the meteor hammer like enraged dragons, their immense power seemingly tearing apart the surrounding space. The air trembled violently under this terrifying force, emitting a deep and awe-inspiring roar.
The meteor hammer traced a long trail in the air, like a falling star.
With a deafening roar, dozens of powerful attacks collided violently with the meteor hammer in mid-air, unleashing a force as powerful as the collapse of the heavens and the earth. A powerful energy ripple spread out at a visible speed, distorting and deforming the surrounding air.
A hint of seriousness flashed in the eyes of the Minotaur youth. He gripped his meteor hammer tightly, his muscles taut, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Shaking the seas and shaking the oceans." Suddenly, the meteor hammer emitted a dazzling light, just like the oceans and rivers rushing in, and a terrifying power immediately spread out.
Gu Yu and the others' expressions changed drastically, but before they could react, they were sent flying backward, their blood churning.
The Minotaur youth charged forward in an instant, his meteor hammer as powerful as a mountain, crashing down upon the crowd.
"A meteor streaks across the sky."
"Primordial Spirit, Thunder Child." Facing the powerful meteor hammer, a giant formed of thunder suddenly appeared behind Zhang Huangling. He held a thunder hammer in one hand and a golden staff in the other, and the thunder hammer in his hand smashed towards the meteor hammer.
"Primordial Spirit, Fire Phoenix." A fire phoenix suddenly appeared behind Kong Yan, its wings fluttering, and blazing flames swept towards the meteor hammer.
"Primordial Spirit, Dao Venerable." Behind Li Daoquan appeared an old Daoist bathed in multicolored light. The old Daoist had a peaceful expression and flicked his whisk toward the meteor hammer.
Then one after another, primordial spirits appeared: Ling Juefeng's was a hawk, Nangong Yang's was a lion...
At this moment, Gu Yu was in the most awkward situation. His divine and demonic primordial spirit could not communicate at all, so he could only swing his sword again and cleave the heavens open.
boom…………
A deafening roar resounded once more, and a force as powerful as if the heavens and earth were collapsing erupted again. A powerful ripple of energy spread out, and Gu Yu and his group, along with the Minotaur youth, were all sent flying backward.
The young minotaur's chest heaved as he looked at the dozen or so primordial spirits before him, his face solemn. He glanced at Long Aotian on the city gate.
When Long Aotian proposed that he kill these human geniuses as a condition for his departure, he suspected it was a conspiracy. The strongest of these human geniuses was only at the peak of the fourth cone realm, and he, a mere commander, could only face a hundred peak fourth cone realm cultivators with a few powerful moves. However, he now realized that this task was far too difficult; these humans were not what he had anticipated.
According to long-standing rumors among the Minotaur race, humans are incredibly weak and incompetent. They are not only several levels higher than humans, but even among those of the same level, one or two of them would be no match for them.
However, he now discovers that this is a false rumor. Any one of the dozen or so humans in front of him, if they were of the same level as him, could defeat him.
roar…………
Thinking of this, the Minotaur youth roared. Even if he died in this battle, he absolutely could not lose, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the Minotaur race, and his grandfather and his father would also be disgraced.
roar…………
The Minotaur youth's roar was earth-shattering, causing Gu Yu and his group of ten to frown, as the Minotaur youth's aura was steadily rising.
"Not good, he has made a breakthrough." Shi Polu said at this moment, and Long Aotian's expression also changed when he saw this scene. He did not expect that this minotaur would actually make a breakthrough under the pressure.
"A meteor falls to earth." The Minotaur youth suddenly made his move, throwing his meteor hammer high into the sky. In mid-air, energy surged from the meteor hammer, which rapidly grew larger at a visible speed.
In an instant, it crashed down on Gu Yu and his group of ten, like a small asteroid falling.
"Oh no, Minister, aren't you going to make a move?" Shi Polu was immediately shocked. The power of this attack was very strong, and it was something that Gu Yu and his ten men could not withstand.
"It depends," Long Aotian replied with three words.
"Join forces and use your primordial spirits to build a barrier!" Zhang Huangling roared.
The next second, a huge barrier appeared, protecting everyone inside.
boom…………
The meteor hammer, transformed into a meteor, crashed into the barrier, causing all the primordial spirits to tremble. Except for Gu Yu, everyone else coughed up blood.
Boom boom boom...
The meteor hammer continued to press down on the barrier. At this moment, everyone's faces were pale, and their veins were bulging, clearly indicating that they had used all their strength.
"Break! Die!" roared the Minotaur youth, and the meteor hammer that had transformed into a meteor began to spin.
Looking at the meteor hammer turning into a meteor in the air, Gu Yu's face was very ugly. The barrier was about to explode at any moment, and under such an attack, they had no chance of survival.
At this moment, Dugu Xing, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up. His whole body was filled with golden light, and the clothes on his upper body turned to ashes under the impact of the golden light.
His eyes were filled with golden light, and the muscles of his upper body were well-defined and full of power. Most importantly, his aura had reached the threshold of the Commander Realm.
boom………
His body moved, and a sonic boom suddenly resounded.
"Nine Extremes Annihilation Fist." Dugu Xing threw a punch at the Minotaur youth.
"How is this possible?" A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Minotaur youth. Dugu Xing had punched him before, and although he hadn't died, he had obviously lost all his fighting power. And now he had suddenly unleashed such amazing power, which had already posed a threat to him. Especially since he was currently using Meteor Annihilation, he couldn't free his hands to defend himself and could only let Dugu Xing's fists hit him.
boom…………………
Dugu Xing punched the Minotaur youth in the back, causing his back to cave in. Then, his entire body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling around.
As for Meteor Destroyer, because the Minotaur youth was knocked away by Dugu Xing, the force suddenly dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, their faces were all pale, and they were obviously injured.
