A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 88: Immutable as a Mountain
Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Immutable as a Mountain
The scene before him made Crow’s brain react sluggishly.
He had imagined every possible action the other party might take.
Running away, screaming, crying and begging for mercy, or angrily counterattacking, waiting for an opportunity to evade.
All of these were within his expectations.
But he never expected the other party to just lie down like this.
Like food burdened with a sacred mission, lying on the chopping board at the mercy of others.
This was very unusual!
But at this moment, the arrow was already on the string, and he had no choice but to shoot.
Crow’s eyes turned fierce, his palm aimed directly at the notebook on Baiyu’s chest, descended from above, and slapped down directly!
Since this bastard is courting death, I’ll grant him that.
Crack.
The moment he slapped down, Crow felt something was off.
This notebook was harder than he imagined.
Definitely not made of paper!
It must be some unknown material!
Nevertheless, a palm with nearly a thousand calories of Blood Qi, transmitted through the notebook, should have shattered this kid’s internal organs.
But the other party didn’t vomit blood.
On the contrary.
He was still staring wide-eyed at him.
Whoosh.
The mountain wind blew through the forest.
Crow’s burly arm pressed hard against the notebook,
the two of them maintained a fixed posture, and the scene was rather awkward.
The old Wu head hiding nearby and the remaining three prisoners all widened their eyes, their eyeballs almost popping out in shock.
"Why are you still alive?"
Crow couldn’t help but ask this absurd question.
"Your soft punches on me feel just like a massage, how can they kill anyone." Baiyu lay on the ground, his body pressing a human-shaped silhouette into the ground.
This was the result of the powerful impact just now.
However.
Rock Form perfectly withstood this palm.
Not long ago, feeling surrounded by danger, he spent a hundred Points to successfully upgrade the Magic Elixir Recipe for Rock Form to "Rock Defense."
The upgraded potion was similar to before.
But it added one more feature, "Immovable as a Mountain."
Previously, after drinking Rock Form and maintaining immobility, one would gain considerable defense, essentially becoming a human punching bag.
But now.
Upgrading to Rock Defense makes the conditions even more stringent.
To trigger Immovable as a Mountain, one must lie on the ground without moving or making large motions.
Note.
It must be lying on the ground!
Lying in other environments, like on water, a bed, a steamed bun, a coffin lid, won’t work.
Of course.
The defensive power of Immovable as a Mountain is also extremely strong.
The palm from just now with nearly a thousand-calorie Blood Qi felt like a little fist pounding his chest, neither painful nor itchy for Baiyu.
The two fell into a brief silence.
After holding back for a long time, Baiyu broke the awkward atmosphere: "Brother, why not climb the tree and try again? Maybe next time you descend from the sky, you’ll break my defense, don’t give up easily.
Keep trying, you might still be able to kill me."
For a moment.
Crow was undoubtedly enraged.
He roared, Blood Qi surging throughout his body, and his fists rained down like a storm: "Bastard, are you looking down on me? Huh?
Die on me!
Hundred Beasts Fist!!"
Bang, bang, bang...
Fists like machine guns rained down on Baiyu.
Baiyu was punched down into the ground.
From his perspective, it was like being plowed a hundred times by a no-cooldown, unlimited-blue Celestial Pegasus Meteor Fist.
This felt quite unpleasant.
Although not painful, psychologically Baiyu still felt like he was pummeled, extremely displeased.
A minute later.
The sound of blows echoing in the forest stopped.
Crow’s ten knuckles dripped blood, and looking at Baiyu lying in the pit, his eyes carried an inexplicable fear.
No injuries!
This bastard’s upper body clothes were pounded into powder, yet there wasn’t a single wound on his skin.
What kind of Magic Elixir did he drink?
Crow took a few steps back, gritting his teeth: "Kid, what on earth did you drink? Tier Eight, Tier Seven, Tier Six Magic Elixirs?"
"What I drank doesn’t matter."
"Even if I explained it to you, a slacker like you wouldn’t understand."
"I don’t think you’ve ever studied Magic Elixirs."
Baiyu lay in the pit, his eyes calm: "The rescue from the Armed Department will come soon, you can’t kill me.
This time the surveillance malfunctioned, not just you.
The people behind you will also be thoroughly investigated.
The presence of a traitor in the Armed Department is no small matter.
If you have any last words, you can confess them now.
Of course, if you have a wife and daughter, you can entrust them to me; after your death, I’ll take good care of them."
Crow’s burly body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with beast-like ferocity.
I underestimated him!
As a seed student of Linjiang City, favored to top the college entrance exam, how could he not have a few life-saving tricks up his sleeve.
At this point, he was confident.
If he couldn’t kill him in a short time, he would definitely suffer a terrible fate.
What to do?
To flee or to keep trying?
If I run, where to run to?
No.
The other party is just messing with my mind!
Magic Elixirs aren’t invincible.
There must be some flaw I haven’t discovered!
Right, he’s maintained that weird lying-down posture since the beginning; is that the potion’s trigger condition?
Perhaps if he isn’t lying on the ground, this terrifying defense will disappear?
It must be said.
Crow’s many years of combat experience quickly let him grasp the core of the problem.
But.
The so-called one-step ahead, a magic mile beyond.
The moment he reached this conclusion, before his brain could react, a strong shout resounded from the pit.
"Look at me, bastard!"
Crow instinctively turned his head.
Light!
Blinding light!
A dazzling light burst out from the entire pit.
Baiyu held the notebook in his arms, his whole body radiating a blinding light, just like a small Sun, completely unable to be looked at directly.
So hot!!
What trick did this bastard use again!
Crow screamed and covered his eyes, stumbling backward.
He leaned against a big tree, vigorously rubbing his eyes.
No.
Completely no.
His eyes burned, the searing heat unbearable.
Bang...
At that moment, he felt a thunderous blow to his abdomen, and a voice filled with hate sounded in his ears.
"Tell me who your accomplice is, and I’ll send you off swiftly."
Crow couldn’t see his surroundings.
Now he couldn’t even open his eyes, relying only on instinct and sound to discern Baiyu’s position.
But how could he contend with Baiyu this way?
Just a few strikes, and he completely lost the ability to move, falling heavily to the ground.
At this moment, his eyes gradually recovered.
Watching Baiyu in the distance wiping his blade, malice buried deep in his heart.
There’s still a chance!
As long as this kid comes over, he can still rely on the Blood Qi in his body to deliver a terrifying fatal blow, away from that lying-down pose; the bastard surely can’t withstand it!
Bang.
A dull thud shattered his hopes.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, he only saw the bastard lift a large rock, hurling it at his head from afar.
"Darn bastard, not killing you would waste my twenty years of martial arts!"
With a resentful curse of rage in his heart, Crow completely passed out.
