Chapter 1267: Chapter 1266: The Heritage of the Ancient Clan

The moment his words fell, Su Chengyu leapt into action, charging directly towards Su Pingping.

With his fists as swords, a sky-full of Sword Qi transformed into Fist Qi, completely enveloping Su Pingping.

Su Pingping looked at these warrior-like tactics and sneered, a pair of mandarin duck axes appearing in her hands as she somersaulted through Su Chengyu’s encircling offense and struck towards his neck.

The struggle between two cultivators now resembled a duel of martial artists, starting with an intense and thrilling bout of close combat.

Generally, cultivators’ understanding of the Martial Way isn’t too profound, which means apart from not learning advanced martial arts techniques, their physical strength is ultimately inferior to martial artists of the same realm—engaging in close combat is clearly an act of highlighting weaknesses and avoiding strengths.

But not only did Su Chengyu possess immense physical strength, Su Pingping’s was even more formidable than the average cultivator’s, although not reaching Su Chengyu’s cross-realm Hollow Vacuum physique, but compared to Red Flame’s physical strength, Su Pingping was likely a bit stronger.

The people of the Ancient Clan, due to their bloodlines, have stronger Martial Way genes, giving them exceptional advantages.

Therefore, within the Ancient Clan, the number of martial cultivators far exceeds that of cultivators, and there are more Martial Gods than Earth Immortals.

"What a spectacle, to think that one day we’d witness two cultivators fight like this."

Zhuang Yihan couldn’t help but comment as he watched the two of them spar, while Yang Junmo still wore a leisurely expression, saying, "Idiot, by fighting my brother like this, isn’t she just asking to lose?"

Yang Junmo didn’t have Qian Jun’s eye power to immediately notice that Su Chengyu’s physical strength far exceeded the norm, but he knew Su Chengyu well.

This guy had initially used his identity as a martial artist to conceal his status as a cultivator, and if it hadn’t been for detecting the mana within him, even Yang Junmo would have been deceived by the much weaker Su Chengyu.

After all, Su Chengyu was too much like a martial artist.

The way he fought, cultivated his body’s strength, and the variety of martial arts techniques that many martial artists couldn’t possess, Su Chengyu was indeed more of a martial artist than martial artists themselves.

Even Yang Junmo suspected that if Su Chengyu hadn’t pursued Enlightenment and strayed into the path of cultivation, simply following the Martial Way alone, he could have achieved no less than his current accomplishments.

What puzzled Yang Junmo, though, was why Su Chengyu wasn’t using a sword?

Although Su Chengyu’s fist technique was exquisite, Yang Junmo knew that swordsmanship was what Su Chengyu was most adept at, whether it was using martial artist tactics or cultivator techniques, Su Chengyu could only bring forth his greatest strength with a sword as the conduit.

Had he changed his ways after his trip to Dongying?

Yang Junmo felt somewhat puzzled internally, feeling that something was off.

However, on the Martial Arts Field, even though Su Chengyu wasn’t using a sword, he still completely overpowered Su Pingping in a clash of physical might.

Su Pingping managed her mandarin duck axes with tricky angles, and her strikes were as fast as lightning, yet Su Chengyu seemed to always know where her attacks would land, always one step ahead in sealing off her movements.

And the deeper Su Pingping engaged in combat with Su Chengyu, the more shocked she became. This wasn’t something that could be explained by mere reflexes and computation; this guy seemed to understand the techniques she was using even better than she did herself.

"Impossible! How do you know my..."

"Grand Supreme Forgetful Ax Technique."

Su Chengyu interjected coldly, identifying the martial arts technique that Su Pingping was using by name the moment he saw her wield the mandarin duck axes, thinking of the legendary skill recorded in the Grand Supreme Taoist Scripture.

And after engaging with her, Su Chengyu became even more certain that she was using one of the eighty-one legendary skills his grandfather had left to him.

Because the weaponry was unique, Su Chengyu was only familiar with it and had never used it in actual combat.

However, having thoroughly memorized all the legendary skills, Su Chengyu was far too familiar with the offensive techniques of this Heaven Rank martial art.

Su Pingping’s control over the technique didn’t exceed Su Chengyu’s understanding, which is why she found herself in the current situation, where every move was anticipated and countered by Su Chengyu.

Su Pingping’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Su Chengyu, "How could you know this martial technique!"

"I’m also curious how you learned this unique skill. The Su Clan shouldn’t have records of this martial art anymore, right?"

Upon hearing Su Chengyu’s words, this time Su Pingping felt even more that something was amiss, and she shouted, "Who on earth are you!"

"You’re not worthy to know,"

Su Chengyu coldly spoke as he suddenly grabbed Su Pingping’s wrist, flipped over to her other side in an instant, and directly placed a palm on Su Pingping’s waist.

Bang!

The force ran through like a long rainbow, and the ultimate move of the Sky-reaching Great Achievement Fist converged in his palm, sending Su Pingping flying.

Su Pingping lost her balance and slid over ten meters across the ground before coming to a stop.

But Su Pingping quickly got up again, wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth, and the fighting spirit in her eyes did not wane in the slightest.

Hmm?

Is there soft armor protecting her body?

Su Chengyu frowned slightly, now certain that Su Pingping was wearing a magic artifact for defense, similar to the True Dragon Armor.

Otherwise, under the impact of that blow, Su Pingping would have either died or been gravely injured; it was impossible for her to have sustained only such minor injuries.

Middle-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Su Chengyu made an initial assessment of Su Pingping’s strength.

Su Pingping had deliberately used martial artist methods to fight against him in order to conceal her full strength, but after exchanging blows for such a long time, Su Chengyu still deduced Su Pingping’s realm.

Indeed, a notch above Red Flame, but this difference was not enough to create a huge gap between her and Red Flame, indicating that Su Pingping had not reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"What technique was that punch just now!"

Su Pingping roared at Su Chengyu, the more she fought with him, the more she felt that something was amiss.

It wasn’t about strength, but the techniques that Su Chengyu used.

She could feel that Su Chengyu’s moves had some similarities to her own Grand Supreme Forgetting Emotions Axe, but... but even within the Su Clan, such moves had long been forgotten!

Her set of Grand Supreme Forgetting Emotions Axe was personally taught by an elder of the Su Clan, and no second person in the clan knew how to use it!

"Did you not understand what I just said?"

Su Chengyu spoke with a cold smirk, not in a hurry to move forward.

The probing was over. Since he had not managed to seize the opportunity to kill Su Pingping in one strike, she certainly would not continue dragging it out.

"Won’t speak? I’ll see if you dare keep silent when you’re on the brink of death!"

Su Pingping’s grave voice fell as a huge Roc appeared behind her, and the Mandarin Duck Axes in her hands flew up, transforming into the Roc’s wings and bringing a fierce gale as they howled towards Su Chengyu.

"Roc Shakes the Earth and Sky!"

The battle of cultivators ultimately came down to the use of cultivators’ methods to end everything. Su Pingping’s martial prowess was indeed beyond Su Chengyu’s expectation, but he never forgot that this person was a bona fide cultivator from the Ancient Clan!

The gale spun up by the Roc howled towards Su Chengyu, and the ground of the Martial Arts Field trembled slightly due to Su Pingping’s strike.

The forces of heaven and earth stirred by the Nascent Soul Realm moved everyone watching the battle.

"Is this the depth of the Ancient Clan’s legacy?" Zhuang Yihan uttered in shock, finding it hard not to worry for Su Chengyu.

However, as the massive Roc approached him, Su Chengyu remained very calm and spoke to Su Pingping, "Taking elixirs? How long can you last on elixirs?"

Anger flashed across Su Pingping’s face as she was exposed once again and she shouted angrily,

"Enough to kill you!"
