Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Returning Three Moves
The lightning bolts sizzled as they shot out, incredibly fast.
This was a pure elemental attack, and although it lacked the physical destructiveness of force, it also freed itself from the speed limitations imposed by force itself, each bolt striking with astonishing speed.
Lightning, once released, who could avoid it?
At least, this was not something that could be done from the Other Shore.
If there had been some distance, Lu Yun might have seen Shi Hao’s finger pointing and could have reacted in time, but now?

It was too close; there was no time.
Instantly, a series of lightning bolts struck him, sparking an intense light.
However, Lu Yun was completely unharmed.
A Light Shield flickered on his body, blocking the thunderous assault.
Body-Protecting Spirit Instrument!
Shi Hao stopped his lightning assault, looking at Lu Yun with a smile that was not quite a smile, his lips curved in a touch of disdain that drove Lu Yun mad.
How utterly disdainful was this?
Suppressing such a genius like him, Shi Hao should have been full of a sense of achievement, but now?
It seemed like he had just done something trivial!
How could this not enrage Lu Yun?
“You can still project your Soul Force outward!” he gritted his teeth, full of envy and resentment.
Shi Hao smiled lightly, “A trivial matter, hardly worth mentioning.”
Such a show-off.
Everyone thought to themselves, just look at the Zhenwu Sect to see how many Martial Artists there are, but how many can project their Soul Force outward?
No more than the number of fingers on one hand!
And he calls that a trivial matter, hardly worth mentioning?
Could he be any more of a show-off?
Lu Yun clenched his fists, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, trying to calm himself down.
He had a Body-Protecting Spirit Instrument and was fearless against Shi Hao’s attacks—whether they were physical or elemental—so he could absolutely withstand Shi Hao’s attacks and kill this man with a single sword strike.
Alright, that’s what he would do.
Lu Yun bellowed and charged at Shi Hao.
Humm, a sword attacked, its blade covered with lightning, emitting a sizzling sound, incredibly fearsome.
Shi Hao reached out, entwining forceful energy and lightning, and directly grabbed onto the blade.
“You’re seeking death!” Lu Yun sneered, thinking Shi Hao was really asking for trouble.
He pushed the sword harder, with its sharpness capable of easily slicing open Shi Hao’s skin, severing blood vessels, and even cutting through bones.
However, he suddenly found that the blade seemed rooted in Shi Hao’s hand, utterly unshakable.
What!
He looked at Shi Hao, his eyes filled with shock.
What terrifying strength must one possess to hold onto the smooth, sharp edge of a blade? Moreover, were your palms forged from Precious Metal, able to contend with the sharpness of a blade?
Shi Hao smiled faintly, “I told you before, you’re only bullying me with your higher cultivation. If our cultivations were equal—haha, just having the same realm would allow me to defeat you easily.”
In fact, he was simply nurturing his soul!
But then, that was something he did not need to say out loud, for it might not be believed and would bring him significant trouble.
Ten steps in Soul Nurturing, what concept is that?
Probably countless powerful beings would want to capture him and dissect him for study, right?
Lu Yun’s plan fell through entirely, but being a genius, he quickly adapted, instantly releasing the hilt of his sword and throwing a punch toward Shi Hao’s chest.
Shi Hao gave a faint smile, swung his sword, and lashed out at Lu Yun.
Although he reacted later, he struck first. With a smack, the pommel of the sword hit Lu Yun’s face.
“Ugh!” Lu Yun staggered back, feeling a burning pain on his face, so intense that tears almost escaped his eyes.
He reached up to touch and saw his hand was covered in fresh blood, as if half of his face had been smashed.
“You!” Lu Yun roared in fury. Although he was not as handsome as Shi Hao, he was nonetheless a striking young man. Now with his face disfigured, how could he contain his anger?
Shi Hao simply ignored him and said indifferently, “If you can block my three moves, I won’t kill you.”
Lu Yun was initially stunned, then overwhelmed by immense humiliation.
He had initially proposed the challenge of three moves to Shi Hao, which was clearly meant to be a provocation.
—Which Soul Nurturing could withstand three moves from the Other Shore?
Now, Shi Hao threw these words right back at him.
How much time had passed?
This guy’s vengeful spirit was indeed heavy; having proposed the challenge of three moves himself, he responded in kind.
But what was the gap between you and me back then, and what is the gap between you and me now?
Lu Yun sneered. In fact, his cultivation was still a minor realm higher than Shi Hao’s—as he perceived it—and moreover, he was a genius who could battle across nearly three minor realms.
Three moves to resolve me?
You must be dreaming!
He acknowledged that Shi Hao was excessively monstrous, blessed by heaven, given a Thunder Spirit Root, and even capable of projecting his Soul Force externally, making his combat power even stronger than his.
But to win against him within three moves?
What a joke!
“Oh, just try it,” Lu Yun said with a cold laugh.
Shi Hao threw a punch, and during the process, one fist turned into two, two into four, and then eight. In an instant, the air was filled with fist shadows, each wrapped in blazing white lightning.
Of course, this wasn’t because he suddenly became a thousand-handed creature; rather, his punching speed was just too fast, launching so many punches in a short time, creating this visual effect.
Ni ma, can this be counted as one move?
Lu Yun was shocked, but relying on his Body-Protecting Spirit Instrument, as long as the instrument was functional, he would absolutely not die; he still gritted his teeth and met Shi Hao head-on.
Bang bang bang, then he was the tragedy, easily suppressed by Shi Hao and struck by countless punches in an instant.
The buzzing Spirit Instrument was activated, blocking all the punches.
Lu Yun, unscathed.
—This Spirit Instrument only activated in moments of life-and-death peril, solely to save life. Hence, when Shi Hao earlier hit him with the sword hilt, the Spirit Instrument had not activated.
This was obviously the intention of the Artificer, allowing the user not to become overly reliant on this treasure, merely using it to save life.
“Second move.” Shi Hao seemed undisturbed and pointed again, emitting countless tiny thunder arrows all at once.
Lu Yun simply couldn’t dodge and had to endure head-on.
But the result was the same, the shield came to life, no attack could break it.
“Hahaha!” Lu Yun laughed wildly, “Shi Hao, this is a Spirit Instrument granted to me by my revered master. Not just you, even an attack from the Other Shore of the Six Islands cannot break through. You thinking of killing me is utterly delusional!”
He knew he was no match for Shi Hao anymore. Therefore, unable to defeat Shi Hao physically, he could only seek some comfort on a spiritual level.
It was precisely because of this that Luo Haodian would calmly watch the battle; otherwise, he would have definitely intervened.
Shi Hao smiled, suddenly took out the Fire Phoenix Tree Branch in front of Lu Yun, flashed it, and then quickly put it away again.
“Third move.” Then, activating the Cloud Piercing Step, he suddenly moved close to Lu Yun, formed a seal with his right hand, and struck toward Lu Yun.
Sky-Flipping Seal!
