Starting Cultivation in Wasteland
Chapter 808 - 678: A Powerful Trump Card
The Supreme Gold Attribute saw the second string of stone bullets coming, his face instantly turned pale, "Damn, two strings?"
He had already guessed that the opponent, with their ability to dodge swiftly and micro-operate the stone bullets so well, likely had other means.
However, guessing was one thing, but when the nightmare manifested into reality, it made him feel utterly desolate.
In the next moment, he couldn’t help but curse, "Is stone bullets all you know, for god’s sake?"
Qu Jianlei acted as if he didn’t hear it, his expression remaining unchanged while he swiftly moved his figure.
What works best is the ultimate approach; even if stone bullets were all I knew, so what? Wouldn’t I still end up thrashing you?
On the contrary, the methods that the opponent feared the most proved to be the ones most effective.
The Supreme Gold Attribute saw the other party’s expressionless face still approaching relentlessly and immediately switched to another demeanor.
He suppressed his inner panic and anger, speaking seriously, "Sir, are you aware of the crime of killing a Supreme?"
After all, this person was still scared; a Supreme could live for three hundred years, and he had several decades still ahead of him.
The people of the Empire are indeed fierce in combat, but given the chance of avoiding death, who would choose to die?
Qu Jianlei rarely spoke during battles; the two things he’d said earlier were just an attempt to gain moral high ground.
However, seeing the opponent’s cowardly state, he couldn’t resist, "Is that as brave as it gets?"
He himself liked to play safe, but when truly faced with a situation, he would absolutely risk his life without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Li Ang also caught the duo’s conversation and expressions, and he couldn’t help but speak.
"Compared to our Supreme, they’re nothing; just one step away from begging for mercy."
In his mind, Supremes should be like Rhodiola rosea, stern and ruthless in action, that’s the true manner of a Supreme.
Fair and reasonable, he was merely expressing a sentiment, even if that Supreme was his enemy, he wouldn’t dare offend casually.
After all, to be regarded by a Supreme is definitely not a pleasant experience; the other party wouldn’t need to pay even if they killed him afterward.
As the saying goes, only a Supreme can handle a Supreme.
However, very unfortunately, when Li Ang said this, he had accidentally triggered the loudspeaker switch, and a high speaker blared on the ground.
The speed of sound was a bit slow, coinciding just at the moment Qu Jianlei finished speaking, transmitting his voice to high altitude.
By the time the two Supremes were fighting, the sound was not particularly loud, but how could it escape a Supreme’s perception?
Anger flashed across the eyes of the Supreme Gold Attribute, he forced a smile, speaking, "How about if I kneel?"
Then, his Spiritual Power suddenly unfolded, striking Qu Jianlei heavily!
Throughout history, gracious martyrdom was easy, but dying calmly was hard.
In his anger, the killing intent surged, finally releasing his long-prepared finishing move—Spiritual Attack!
Since advancing to Supreme, he had been delving into the Spiritual Attribute, convinced that his Spiritual Power surpassed most Supremes.
But from the beginning of the battle until now, he hadn’t unleashed it, intending to use it as a trump card.
Strictly speaking, Spiritual Attack belongs to the "kill a thousand enemies while self-afflicting eight hundred" technique, normally not convenient to use.
Just like when Qu Jianlei schemed against the first Supreme, Steve was indeed attacked miserably, but he himself wasn’t much better off.
The Supreme Gold Attribute was also worried, after a successful scheme, he’d face considerable backlash.
Until Li Ang’s mockery reached him, sealing his resolve—what the hell, die if you must!
As for losing? He hadn’t considered that; at least they could both end up equally wounded, right?
He refused to believe that they were both Supremes, the opponent had superior Cultivation Level, superior micro-operation, superior Body Technique, could their Spiritual Power be superior too?
A Supreme must never be insulted lightly, everyone Supreme seems to have their own hidden trump card.
Li Ang, closely watching the confrontation, also noticed the unusual electro-waves, his expression immediately altered.
"Not good, it’s a Spiritual Attack! Ship number three, assist our Supreme!"
Gedel’s gravitational pull wasn’t strong, but falling from such an altitude, it was natural to sustain some damage.
If landed headfirst, instant death is possible; this is the Mine, the medical facilities aren’t that advanced.
Ship number three was already severely damaged, one step away from leaving the combat sequence entirely.
Fortunately, the other party had lost the will to fight long ago, having seen their Attack Ship’s crew killed, no desire for further bloodshed.
Thus, their response was the same, "Prepare to aid the Supreme!"
However, in the next moment, everyone unexpectedly discovered both Supremes’ bodies suddenly quivering, leading to a strange occurrence.
"How can the more seriously injured be him?"
Logically, the Supreme Gold Attribute was the attacker; even if he was injured, he should have some advantage.
Yet, inexplicably, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, while the attacked Rhodiola rosea merely shook his head.
In truth, the injury of Qu Jianlei was far lighter than everyone imagined.
He also thought, when the opponent’s consciousness blurred, to quietly land a Spiritual Attack.
Pure Attribute combat was indeed exhilarating, but it spent a lot of Inner Breath, and the battle was not yet over.
After the thrill, quietly scheming against someone was also a joyful matter, otherwise, if he stuffed himself and followed his path?
Not using a cheat just feels like a loss.
Qu Jianlei didn’t plan on launching an overly powerful attack—just enough would do.
His goal was to further confuse the opponent’s mind, seize the opportunity to deliver the finishing blow, and thus end the battle.
There was no way; under the spotlight, it was truly inconvenient for him to once again take the opponent’s head.
Taking the head of a Supreme had almost become the signature act of the Panda Organization.
Others might not necessarily guess that the slain Supremes suffered a Spiritual Attack, but they could very well suspect something similar.
At the very least, almost everyone believed that this behavior at least held some sort of reason... or perhaps it was a ritual.
Since taking heads wasn’t an option, Qu Jianlei’s Spiritual Attack naturally couldn’t be too heavy.
In fact, he himself hadn’t thought that even though the opponent was in such a sorry state, they still concealed strong Spiritual Power.
Until the Gold Attribute Supreme, at the last moment, revealed a vague intent to kill, he swiftly moved to guard against the opponent’s trump card.
Moreover, this trump card... even caught him a bit off guard!
Fortunately, he had also been preparing a Spiritual Power ambush, not only was his spirit highly focused, but it was also in a state of readiness.
In a flash of lightning and sparks, the Spiritual Power of the two collided heavily.
The Gold Attribute Supreme intended to stake his life, so his strength was undoubtedly greater, but that was only relative to himself.
Unfortunately, even though he had indeed studied Spiritual Attacks meticulously, how could he possibly contend with a Hexagon Warrior?
One must know that Qu Jianlei was qualified to impersonate a Spiritual Attribute Supreme!
From his perspective, this was the gap between a Golden Core Cultivator and a Fake Pill cultivator, and it wasn’t something that could be bridged by cultivation level alone.
However, Qu Jianlei did suffer a slight loss, after all, one was exerting full force, while the other was just on full alert.
The Gold Attribute Supreme only felt a heavy blow to the head, and blood began to trickle from his mouth and nose.
But he didn’t mind, because he was prepared, although the backlash was severe, he still managed to steady himself.
He shook his head, adjusted his visual focus, and looked coldly at his opponent.
If necessary, he could launch another attack; even if it led to his death, he would strive to take his opponent down with him.
However, before his vision had fully recovered, his eyes widened in shock, and he shouted, "No, this is impossible!"
What did I just see?
The opponent’s eyes were also a bit dazed, clearly having suffered some trauma, but... amazingly, no blood came from his mouth or nose?
At this moment, he was utterly collapsing; even the mental power was this strong, just what am I dealing with?
Driven by a feeling of despair, he gathered his Spiritual Power, intending to launch another all-out attack.
At this moment, Qu Jianlei’s mind was also a mix of emotions, with a bit of disbelief and a slight tinge of fear.
I really didn’t expect the opponent had hidden this move, truly one can’t underestimate anyone!
Previously, when he was A-level, he had killed many Supremes, and vaguely felt that Supremes weren’t all that impressive.
Now that he was a Supreme, he was even more convinced that apart from those above the Supreme level, there was no one who could pose a threat to him in a one-on-one fight.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be impersonating a pure Earth Attribute Supreme, pursuing a thoroughly fulfilling battle.
Only now did he suddenly awaken: I have become a bit overconfident!
To think of using a minor Spiritual Attack when knowing nothing about the opponent’s capabilities.
Back when he was A-level, he could kill several Supremes, thanks to thorough preparation and ambush.
Now face-to-face in a death match, there are so many factors to consider, including but not limited to trying to find out the opponent’s trump card.
He believed he was quite good at self-examination, so after the battle, he must summarize his experience and lessons learned.
However, the battle was still ongoing, leaving no room for distraction.
The next moment, he launched a Spiritual Power attack.
His poised Spiritual Power, after consuming a part in defense earlier, had its strength slightly increased.
But as luck would have it, his Spiritual Attack was just a fraction faster than the opponent’s.
Yet, true battles are always brutal; being even a fraction faster means being the attacker, while a fraction slower means becoming the defender.
The Gold Attribute Supreme never anticipated that after initiating the Spiritual Attack first, his opponent, even after defending against it, could swiftly launch a counterattack. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Everyone says striking first grants a huge advantage; what kind of freak is this opponent?
Immediately, he felt a severe jolt in his head, and a mouthful of blood he could no longer hold back burst out!
In that moment, only one thought occupied his mind: Is this Peak Supreme or above the Supreme level?
Qu Jianlei shook his head again, manipulating a series of stone bullets to heavily strike the opponent’s head.
The Gold Attribute Supreme had lost his sight and instinctively dodged, trying to avoid the attack.
However, how could this attack be easily dodged?
In the next moment, a series of stone bullets harshly collided with his head.
