Chapter 1037: The True King of the Giant Kingdom with Full Firepower Xu Xiao Shou

"It's smashed to pieces, but not dead yet."

Xu Xiaoshou splashed a basin of cold water on A Huo, staring unblinkingly at Shuang Dai, who had been reduced to a mess of mud stuck on the ice tree.

Even Wang Zuo Dao Jing experts are hard to kill, let alone Tai Xu ones?

Absolute physical output can defeat a Tai Xu, but it can never truly kill one.

That's why, after reaching Wang Zuo Dao Jing, most Ling Shi masters acquire additional bizarre abilities.

To finish off an enemy, normal methods just won't cut it.

It has to be something unconventional!

"Hehehe..."

Sure enough, in less than half the time, that heap of bloody flesh and mud disintegrated, with tiny golden specks gathering bit by bit, reforming into a hazy silhouette of Shuang Dai.

"Strong!"

"Truly strong!"

"Worthy of someone on the Black Gold Bounty, Xu Xiaoshou, you're even tougher than I imagined..."

Shuang Dai panted weakly, his face twisted in a savage grimace like a mad dog, his eyes burning with intense killing intent, as if he was about to fight desperately regardless of the cost.

"Tsk!"

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head with a sigh, though he had expected it, seeing this resilience still left him sighing in dismay.

In the next second, before Shuang Dai could recover, Xu Xiaoshou hoisted the large stone at his feet and leaped into the sky, appearing right in front of Shuang Dai.

"So much chit-chat, just trying to buy time?"

"Die!"

He swung the Zhen Xu Bei down directly, not giving Shuang Dai a moment to breathe.

As a top-tier Hunter Order assassin, this guy could pull off unexpected tricks even with his last breath, and who knows, a dying counterattack might cost Xu Xiaoshou half his life.

But attacking with the Zhen Xu Bei was different.

No matter how Shuang Dai fought back, in his current state, he probably couldn't break through the Zhen Xu Bei's defense.

And if his next move failed again, the Zhen Xu Bei could completely suppress this guy's Ling Yuan.

As for Sheng Li... well, that was unknown.

But it was worth trying—maybe it would suppress everything?

"How can this guy use a stone tablet as a weapon..."

Shuang Dai looked up at the descending Zhen Xu Bei, his frenzied eyes briefly freezing in shock.

He had seen this thing before—it was the tablet from when he first arrived on Xukong Island, where no matter what he tried, he couldn't leave his name on it.

And now Xu Xiaoshou was carrying it into battle?

What kind of twisted idea was that!

"Division World!"

Without daring to hesitate, Shuang Dai drew upon the thin strand of Sheng Li he had been using to cling to life, activating his Tai Xu World without a second thought.

Unlike a solid domain, the Tai Xu World was like the manifestation of a Ling Shi master's spirit and consciousness.

Some people, lacking attack methods, shaped their Tai Xu World into a powerful output tool; others, weak in defense, turned it into an unbreakable shield.

But Shuang Dai was different.

He lacked both offense and defense,

Yet as an assassin, survival techniques were always better in abundance.

This "Division World" wasn't for attacking or defending—it was for the final escape, a last-ditch bid for survival!

"Shua!"

With the command, Sheng Li's pressure spread out again.

A layer of misty golden fog enveloped the surrounding ten li, and in an instant, Shuang Dai split into two, then four, multiplying into countless versions scattering in all directions.

"Bang!"

Xu Xiaoshou's strike smashed the Shuang Dai in front of him into pulp.

The violent hammer made the earth tremble and crack.

But with one Shuang Dai destroyed, thousands more were fleeing in every direction.

"This guy..."

Xu Xiaoshou was momentarily stunned.

He had thought, from Shuang Dai's mad dog-like stance, that he was gearing up for a final burst.

But no—his last move was just to escape!

No thought of fighting or defending—just running for his life, as far as possible.

A Tai Xu like Shuang Dai, empowered by Sheng Li, facing the two white skeleton giants plus Xu Xiaoshou and Lei Xier's team...

He didn't even want to resist.

Just run!

"How sneaky."

Though Xu Xiaoshou understood Shuang Dai's choice as an assassin,

But...

"Escaping in front of me? Fat chance?"

Xu Xiaoshou surged his Qi Hai Ling Yuan, mobilizing the Ling Yuan he hadn't used in a long time.

He usually fought with his body or his sword, rarely resorting to Ling Shi techniques, since compared to those, his Ling Shi realm was only Zong Shi.

However, as a Zong Shi Tian Xiang realm with a Jin Zhao Origin Seed containing calamity power embedded in his Qi Hai,

Xu Xiaoshou's mastery of Jin Zhao abilities went far beyond just Jin Zhao alchemy and explosions.

In this situation, with so many Shuang Dai clones scattering, his physical strength couldn't keep up, and sword techniques were hard to use to pinpoint and kill the real one.

But Ling Shi abilities could deliver area-of-effect group damage!

"Pu pu..."

In half a breath, the Ling Yuan from his Qi Hai was drawn out.

By then, the Tai Xu-powered Shuang Dai clones had already fled to over ten li away.

Xu Xiaoshou stood still, recalling in his mind the image of Sang Lao rising from the 100,000 Great Mountains, unleashing a world of white flames.

He directly detonated the compressed energy in the Jin Zhao Origin Seed!

"Bang!"

A heat wave erupted from his body, making Xu Xiaoshou swell up. In that moment, white flames burned around him, like a fire god bathed in flames.

"Under attack, passive value +1."

"Under attack, passive value +1."

"It really hurts..."

The seal on the Jin Zhao Origin Seed was set using the white light bead from the Wolf Bei Sheng Ren.

Even now, Xu Xiaoshou's physical body couldn't fully withstand the Jin Zhao Origin Seed's power.

But he knew...

For now, he could briefly borrow its strength.

Because his body forging was fundamentally aimed at better enduring the various "fire seeds" of the Jin Zhao lineage.

However, powerful as the Jin Zhao Origin Seed was...

To deal with a Tai Xu, this method was still far from enough!

"Transformation!"

Xu Xiaoshou began using "Transformation" to increase his size.

This passive skill had reached Wang Zuo level during the Yun Lun Mountains trial, but because the Yun Jing World was always under surveillance, he hadn't dared to test it.

But on Xukong Island, he was unrestrained!

"Bigger!"

"Even bigger!"

"Make it even larger!"

At Zong Shi realm, "Transformation" was limited by human body scale, unable to turn into a true giant or shrink to a tiny stone or particle.

But at Wang Zuo level, "Transformation" underwent a fundamental change!

For the first time, Xu Xiaoshou fully activated "Transformation's" enlargement function, and his body size exploded in an instant.

One zhang...

Three zhang...

Ten zhang...

The two white skeleton giants, the Xukong Servants, and even Lei Xier watched in utter surprise as Xu Xiaoshou's human form shattered its limits, transforming into a full thirty-zhang-tall, hundred-meter giant.

"This..."

Lei Xier was dumbfounded.

When had Xu Xiaoshou gained this ability?

So, was he actually from the Giant Clan?

"Under suspicion, passive value +1."

"It really works!"

Feeling his Qi Hai Ling Yuan depleting rapidly, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly realized that at Wang Zuo level, "Transformation" truly had no limits.

Or rather, the only thing holding back his size from surpassing the Xukong Servants was his Ling Yuan.

But...

Thirty zhang was enough!

This size could accommodate even more explosive power from the Jin Zhao Origin Seed!

To break the Tai Xu World and take down Shuang Dai...

He was just a bit short!

Just a little more!

"Berserk Giant, enter the stage!"

With a beast-like roar, as golden light descended, the thirty-zhang-tall Xu Xiaoshou expanded again, turning into a hundred-zhang colossal berserk giant!

The era of three-zhang giants was over; now it was the age of complete monstrosity!

"Roar!!!"

Even the Jin Zhao white skeleton A Huo and the ice-blue white skeleton A Bing were stunned.

"Ho ho ho"

A Huo was excited—turns out the master was of the same clan! If he grew a bit more, he could match A Huo himself—awesome!

"Roar..."

A Bing was shocked and confused.

Was this something a human could do? The master had never used this ability before.

So, was he actually from the white skeleton clan?

"Xu Xiaoshou evolves, Xu Xiaoshou beast!"

In his hundred-zhang berserk giant form, Xu Xiaoshou dubbed this state the "Xu Xiaoshou Beast" form—the true king of the Giant Kingdom!

As he felt his power reach its peak, his Qi Hai was depleting wildly, and even his various passive skills were struggling to keep up.

At full power, Xu Xiaoshou Beast scanned the ten-plus li around him where all the Shuang Dai clones were fleeing.

What was once a long distance now felt tiny.

To Xu Xiaoshou Beast, it seemed like he could shatter this small world with one palm!

"Jin Zhao Heaven Burn!"

With the command,

"Chi la"

The ice river world created by the ice-blue white skeleton A Bing melted away in an instant.

The temperature across a hundred li soared to extremes, and compressed white flames burst from the earth's cracks.

Even space began to distort!

"Buzz..."

The Xukong Servant, having just absorbed the ice crystal power, felt a sudden chill, only for the environment to shift as if entering the Absolute Jin Fire Domain.

It couldn't help but feel alarmed.

What was with this human?

His cultivation was so weak, yet he harbored such terrifying power!

Not only could he grow huge, but he also commanded all sorts of absurd energy attacks.

Extreme ice was one thing, but this white flame—how was it so similar to the Jin Zhao white flames in the Absolute Jin Fire Domain?

Most importantly...

How was his body enduring it?

The Xukong Servant had seen Giant Clan members before—they were just physically strong.

But the powers this human was displaying... the Xukong Servant felt that even the Ban Sheng or Sheng Di it had encountered rarely dared to merge two opposing extreme forces like ice and fire into one body.

This prisoner number 800820...

A walking bomb core in human form?

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Meanwhile, as Shuang Dai fled desperately, his heartbeat accelerated.

It was insane!

Truly insane!

Xu Xiaoshou's external power was one thing, but the energy he released from within was affecting the Tai Xu World?

Even in its weakened state, Shuang Dai's "Division World" was still a Tai Xu ability.

And yet, a mere Zong Shi like Xu Xiaoshou was on the verge of burning through it single-handedly!

And...

"What is this pressure?"

He had already run twenty li away, and Xu Xiaoshou wasn't even chasing.

But Shuang Dai still felt like he was about to be caught by that little Zong Shi any second...

It wasn't just a feeling!

At some point, Shuang Dai's heart rate spiked to its limit, and he seemed to hear a faint murmur...

"Jin Zhao, Dragon Fusion Realm!"

With a massive boom,

In a flash, mountains crumbled, ancient forests burned.

Across a hundred li, intense white flames rose from the earth like a barrier, covering everything without blind spots, like a white sun crashing down.

And Shuang Dai was right in the center of that white sun.

Scorching heat!

A deathly scorch that seemed to burn through his soul!

This white sun's descent instantly incinerated the Division World completely, and like a prison, it trapped all the fleeing Shuang Dai clones inside!

Within the white sun world, Shuang Dai involuntarily stopped running.

"This can't be real, can it?"

"Am I dreaming?"

Shuang Dai's forehead veins bulged, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But as "pu pu" sounds rang out, white flames erupted on his body, in his Qi Hai, and even in his consciousness where he connected to the heavenly dao rules,

Shuang Dai knew it wasn't a dream.

That Zong Shi had truly ignited everything about him in one move!

"Ah—"

Screams echoed from all directions.

The moment the Dragon Fusion Realm covered the area, all of Shuang Dai's clones were burned away, vanishing without a trace.

"How could this..."

"So, this move was just to lock onto my real body?"

Shuang Dai shook his head in a daze, murmuring incoherently.

He didn't understand.

Even in his weakened state, his Sheng Li-empowered Tai Xu World shouldn't be so easily broken.

Yet Xu Xiaoshou had wiped out all his clones in an instant and erected this inescapable white flame prison across a hundred li.

How could he fight this?!

All his abilities were completely countered!

"He's just a Zong Shi, right?"

Shuang Dai couldn't believe that this white flame world was created by a mere Zong Shi.

He turned his head in confusion, and in the distance, he spotted the giant form of Xu Xiaoshou Beast, slowly floating amid the white flames.

"Holy shit?!"

In that instant, Shuang Dai's pupils shrank.

It was a hundred-zhang giant radiating golden explosive light points, standing on a massive ice lotus that could support a world, bathed in sacred white flames like a fire god.

In his hand was an enlarged fierce sword—four swords plus the Yan Python flame sword—and behind him were stunning blue-white ice-fire wings, like a world-ending demon god descending on Xukong Island.

"This is Xu Xiaoshou???"

Shuang Dai's eyes nearly popped out.

If not for recognizing the dual swords in Xu Xiaoshou's hand, he might have thought this was a shrunken Xukong Servant in combat mode, coming to hunt him down.

"What the hell is this?"

"Is this a Zong Shi?"

"Who calls this a Zong Shi? Show yourself! This is just straight-up deception!"

In that moment, Shuang Dai cursed the one who issued the Black Gold Bounty.

What Zong Shi realm, what Dao-Slaying combat power—it was all bullshit!

Was this what Xu Xiaoshou looked like at full power?

This was Dao-Slaying? He could probably smash an ordinary Tai Xu with one palm!

Run...

There was no way to run.

Shuang Dai saw his fate clearly, staring desperately at the distant super golden giant, reaching out to hold the silver-haired girl.

Then, this "beauty and beast" pair rippled with space-attribute fluctuations.

In one step, they appeared right in front of him.

"Gulp."

Shuang Dai swallowed hard, deathly pallor rising on his face.

A space-attribute giant...

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Never mind that his Qi Hai had no Sheng Li left.

Even if it did, Shuang Dai felt that with Xu Xiaoshou in this form, Sheng Li could at most scrape off his exterior, and the latter would have other ways to pursue him.

"Run?"

The giant spoke, his voice like thunder, blasting Shuang Dai's eardrums and making his head ring.

"Yeah, I have to run..."

Shuang Dai suddenly remembered he still needed to try—how else would he know true despair?

"You can move, but it'll hurt like hell." The giant teased, staring down.

"..." Shuang Dai froze at the words, his foot just lifting before he turned to stone.

Forget it.

Let it end.

If I could start over...

Why did I have to encounter Miracle Forest? This wasn't a miracle—it was a death trap!

"Don't panic, I'll go easy."

The giant's voice fell again.

Shuang Dai lifted his gaze in despair, watching as the super berserk giant gently pressed down with a tiny Zhen Xu Bei in his hand.

"Hu..."

In that moment, Shuang Dai gave up struggling and spread his arms, choosing to embrace death.

This messed-up world, full of weirdos where even Zong Shi were like this—it's all a scam...

Living is just too exhausting!
