Chapter 596 - 592: Killing the Gun Emperor
"Die for me."
The attack was a forceful burst, thunderous. Without waiting for the Gun Emperor to react again, Lu Tianxing’s body moved like a flash of lightning. With one step, he crossed a distance of over ten meters, appearing in front of the Gun Emperor in the blink of an eye. His hand rose and palm fell.
The Gun Emperor suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Looking up, he saw that the palm seemed to encompass the sky itself, as if heaven and earth were thrown into chaos. Everything before him disappeared, leaving only the imprint of the palm.
He desperately circulated his True Qi, trying to withstand the attack, but when his True Qi met Lu Tianxing’s palm, it dissolved like ice and snow, leaving him unable to do anything but watch the palm imprint fall on his head.
The Gun Emperor moved no more. He stood on the ground, eyes wide open, fiercely staring at Lu Tianxing with a red face, blood streaming from all seven orifices. Suddenly, crackling sounds came from his body, and in a moment, he collapsed to the ground like a lump of rotten meat. In an instant, Lu Tianxing’s True Qi completely shattered all his bones, rendering him thoroughly and irreversibly dead.
"Phew, he’s finally dead."
Seeing the Gun Emperor dead, Lu Tianxing finally let out a long breath. His face turned pale due to the excessive use of True Qi, and a sense of weakness overcame him. This fight with the Gun Emperor was the most strenuous one he had felt in a long time, probably the toughest fight since he began practicing the Creation Source Technique at the same realm.
The Gun Emperor had almost perfected his spearmanship to a terrifying extent. His spear moves were unpredictable and his spear intent was sharply penetrating. With a thrust of his spear, the emerging spear intent itself, before even the spear tip arrived, could make you feel a deep chill, easily killing those who were weaker.
However, fortunately, although the Gun Emperor’s spearmanship was unpredictable, he had a fatal weakness; his strength relied almost entirely on his spearmanship. With a silver spear in hand, he could exert two hundred percent of his fighting power, but without his silver spear, his strength would decrease by two-thirds. Lu Tianxing took advantage of this weakness. After smashing the silver spear, he immediately struck, not giving the Gun Emperor a chance to use his True Qi to congeal another silver spear. That’s how he killed the Gun Emperor on the spot.
Otherwise, had the fight truly dragged on, he could very likely have met his demise under the Gun Emperor’s silver spear, as he wasn’t as specialized as the Gun Emperor.
The mantra ’Jack of all trades, master of none’ held true. Those who specialized in one skill could exert several times their own strength, but it also limited their power. Once they lost what they relied on, their strength would drop significantly within a short period.
