Triple Burst Claws are one of the fiercest Secret Martials of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, and the Lava Stance is the most powerful burst state among them. Xing Lie had perfected Triple Burst Claws to completion, astonishingly turning this Secret Martial’s Lava Stance into a normal state. He could use it anytime, anywhere, at will.
Red hot lights spread fiercely over the sinister claws, their aura startling.
"Indeed, just as I expected, I would face you in the final. Your Hard Skill is strong, but my Triple Burst Claws have the effect of breaking through Hard Skill. If you face me with the same arrogance as you do others, letting attacks hit you, then soon you will regret it deeply..."
Xing Lie gazed at Bai Xiao not far away, surprisingly offering advice. Or perhaps, this was his confidence and the thrill of facing a strong opponent.
Bai Xiao’s eyes remained icy cold, expressionless.
Like a silent machine, solely keen on combat and slaughter.
"Ding, the match begins!"
The announcement instantly rang out, signaling the imminent start of the finals.
As soon as the electronic sound dropped, a whirlwind rushed out. The metal arena was covered with a thick layer of rubber, showing a series of sudden, deep footprints. Precise and powerful, they pointed directly at Bai Xiao!
Xing Lie crossed most of the arena at an astounding speed, his body swelling segment by segment during the process, inflating like a balloon to about two meters. Bulging muscles, especially the swinging claws, covered with black veins resembling thin snakes. His heart abruptly pulsed, and the Lava Claws immediately tore through the air.
A strong arm, instantly blocked in front of the crimson claws.
Both forces violently collided, and a circle of surging white currents exploded, sprinkling gold and red sparks among the currents.
A gleam flashed in Xing Lie’s eyes, his speed suddenly increased explosively, and with a step, the arena thunderously shook. He turned into a black afterimage appearing beside Bai Xiao, and the moment his heart pounded, another claw shadow swung out.
The claw, carrying the intent of explosion, massive and scorching, aimed directly at Bai Xiao’s vital points.
A slow, heavy elbow came crashing down, blocking it again.
Xing Lie’s right claw collided and rebounded, but his left claw simultaneously whooshed out, like two javelins alternating in swing.
The crimson arm instantly swelled up, the claw veined, the wildly open fingers nearly as large as a human head, ripping the air abruptly.
Another unremarkable block.
Bai Xiao’s arm moved minimally, firmly supported as if cast from iron, solidly blocking Xing Lie’s fierce assault.
"Do you only know how to defend!?"
Xing Lie roared loudly, a hint of anger spreading across his chest. He felt that Bai Xiao was putting on too much of a show, able to handle Chen Hu or Fu Xue with an unchanging defense, casually figuring out the opponent’s moves before defeating them with a single move! That’s because Bai Xiao had reached the Martial Fighter Realm, having that confidence.
But now, Bai Xiao faced him, a being of the same Martial Fighter Realm. Bai Xiao’s advantage was nullified, how could he afford to be so careless?
Still using the same old tactics against others, against him...
Could it be that he was the same as Fu Xue, Chen Hu? Impossible!
In his fury, Xing Lie did not hesitate and abandoned the initial three probing moves, directly entering combat mode. His arms positioned one in front of the other across his chest, his palms slightly clawing the air as if tearing at something, the initiating stance of Triple Burst Claws. Instantly, Xing Lie no longer suppressed the ferocious energy inside, a whirl of invisible waves violently erupted from his pores.
A slight whistling sound trailed over his body.
His entire person was instantly enveloped in a frequency membrane, faintly flickering on the arena. Meanwhile, an intensely fiery and explosively electric aura surged out, pressing towards Bai Xiao with amazing speed, extremely dominant.
"It was presumptuous of me."
"It appears that the Secret Martial you displayed holds no value to me..."
Up to now expressionless, Bai Xiao’s face now bore a hint of disappointment. The reason he had toughed out Xing Lie’s few fingers just now was to test the essence of the opponent’s Triple Burst Claws, to see if there was anything insightful he could comprehend with his astonishing wisdom. After all, Bai Xiao had recently gained quite a benefit from Fu Xue’s Echo Sword, and he wondered if he could replicate it. However, after several bouts and clashes, Bai Xiao was disappointed.
Triple Burst Claws had not sparked even a single inspiration.
"There’s no need to waste any more time..."
Bai Xiao’s pupils gradually darkened, his incredible dynamic vision instantly capturing a red shadow charging from the side.
Along with that surging, intense fiery aura.
The heart of the Demon Bird furiously pulsed, a large black net enveloping his entire body, bringing an extremely eerie aura. On Bai Xiao’s face, a densely packed black net faintly flashed beneath the skin, dark and profound. In a swish, an invisible wave spread out, like an air current magnetic field accompanied by terror.
The surrounding air even began to show translucent, wavelike folds.
In this instant, the terrifying magnetic field of the Demon Bird Secret Book was released by Bai Xiao for the first time! And Xing Lie, like a fly, plunged headlong into the dense spider web. His expression was fiercely enraged, eyes staring straight at Bai Xiao, the surrounding intense aura wrapping around his tightly clenched fists.
