Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent

Chapter 19: The Storm Boss

Li Chengfeng stood with his sword.

He was panting heavily, having sustained some minor injuries.

There were corpses scattered all around, and the gray-white stone slabs were stained red.

Shu Fuyao simply sat on the ground, exhausted.

She propped herself up with her hands behind her, looking up at the sky. Although she was more injured than Li Chengfeng, such an exhilarating battle left her feeling quite satisfied.

It allowed her to experience some of the joys of combat.

Li Chengfeng concluded:

“Next time, we need to take out the informers first. A few guards are not a big deal, but a large group together is still a bit difficult to handle.”

“Yes, and my hand hurts.”

Shu Fuyao frowned, her eyes slightly moist.

The blood from her arm flowed down to her fair, jade-like hand. She knew that challenging dungeons might result in injuries, but she didn’t expect the pain to be this intense.

Li Chengfeng patted her cheek, comforting her:

“Don’t cry. We are martial artists now. These injuries will be common in the future.”

“Mm.”

Shu Fuyao blinked her tear-filled eyes resolutely. She took out bandages and pain relief spray from her storage bracelet.

Li Chengfeng carefully helped her bandage the wound, then they began to collect the spoils of battle.

The glowing money was automatically absorbed into them.

【Money +5160 yuan】

Shu Fuyao picked up over 1,700 yuan.

Their hard work paid off.

Shu Fuyao’s mood immediately brightened:

“Great, now we have enough for a month’s living expenses and rent.”

Li Chengfeng smiled and shook his head:

“Don’t joke around. If geniuses like us have to worry about making a living, how would ordinary people survive?”

Shu Fuyao puffed out her cheeks:

“This is the first time I’ve made money in this world. Isn’t the first pot of gold worth celebrating?”

“Let’s celebrate after we complete the challenge. Come on, let’s see if there are any guards we missed. We’ll clean up the small fry before going after the boss.”

Li Chengfeng often played games on Blue Star as well.

They knew that before fighting the boss, they had to clear out the small mobs. Otherwise, if some guards suddenly appeared during the intense battle with the boss, it would be very troublesome.

The two of them searched through the various buildings in the front yard again.

They killed over forty members.

After collecting the spoils, they arrived at the gap leading from the front yard to the main hall of the World Society.

Here was a flat square paved with stone slabs, the sky was covered with dense red clouds, and a strong wind rustled the bamboo leaves.

The sounds of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun’s fight echoed across the square.

The two of them were sparring.

Li Chengfeng stopped on the steps and checked their attributes.

Bu Jingyun—Level 10, well-equipped.

Strength: 140.

Speed: 110.

Spirit: 120.

Combat Intelligence: 90.

Nie Feng—Level 10, well-equipped.

Strength: 120.

Speed: 140.

Spirit: 120.

Combat Intelligence: 100.

From the attribute data, the two bosses were not weaker than Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao.

“Who dares to trespass into our World Society?”

Nie Feng, dressed in a sky-blue robe, noticed the two and shouted:

“These two are covered in blood, with blood dripping from their sword tips. They must have fought their way up here. Junior Brother Feng, watch how I alone take down these two thieves.”

Bu Jingyun, clad in black combat attire with a red cape, said nothing and directly charged at the two of them.

Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao immediately raised their swords to face the enemy.

Bu Jingyun’s “Cloud Dispelling Palm” was elusive and unpredictable, difficult to grasp.

However, the “Golden Youth and Jade Maiden Twelve Swords” was also cunning and sharp, with hidden killing intent.

Additionally, the combined power of Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao’s swords doubled.

Sshhh—

Bu Jingyun’s cape was cut by Li Chengfeng.

Whoosh—

Bu Jingyun’s wild hair was trimmed evenly by Shu Fuyao. His unruly hairstyle suddenly turned into that of a comical clown.

In just a few exchanges, Bu Jingyun was forced to retreat repeatedly.

“Junior Brother Feng, quickly help! These two thieves’ martial arts are on par with mine.”

Bu Jingyun, forced into a corner, had no choice but to call for help.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Yun, I’m coming to assist you.”

Nie Feng, with his exceptional lightness skill, leaped over.

Nie Feng’s “Divine Wind Leg” was extremely fast, and his leg techniques were fierce. Combined with his speed of 140, Li Chengfeng almost couldn’t fend him off.

He praised:

“As expected of Nie Feng, the God of Wind. Impressive!”

“At least you have some insight!”

However, after using a set of sword techniques, he was able to fight Nie Feng to a standstill.

After all, the “Golden Youth Sword Technique” was a superior sword technique that had been refined over hundreds of years.

“Praise you once and you get all high and mighty!”

However, Shu Fuyao was struggling on her side.

Bu Jingyun’s strength attribute was 140. His strength was astonishing, and he had a tall stature with long arms.

Shu Fuyao, being a girl, naturally suffered a disadvantage when facing him. Moreover, her swordsmanship was not as good as Li Chengfeng’s.

Thus, she was at an absolute disadvantage.

This gave Bu Jingyun the opportunity to gather energy for a powerful move.

【Sky-Tearing Cloud Dispelling Palm】.

Bu Jingyun launched a fierce palm strike and Shu Fuyao raised her sword to block.

“Ah—”

Bu Jingyun’s ultimate move carried immense force.

It directly blasted her into the air.

Shu Fuyao, suspended in mid-air, couldn’t find leverage to dodge.

Bu Jingyun seized the opportunity to launch two black palm-shaped energies at her.

Li Chengfeng unleashed two sword energies to force Nie Feng back. He rushed forward, grabbed Shu Fuyao’s ankle, and pulled her down.

One of the palm energies still hit Shu Fuyao’s left shoulder.

Li Chengfeng communicated with her through the team channel using his thoughts.

Li Chengfeng: Are you okay?

Shu Fuyao: I’m fine.

Li Chengfeng: Our advantage lies in our combined sword techniques. We can’t fight them one-on-one like this.

Shu Fuyao: Got it.

Having decided on their strategy, the two of them fought back-to-back.
