First, at the Shadow Leopard's right hind hip joint, which had been struck by Lin Xia's Thunder Punch.
The violent electric current had already destroyed the stability of the tissue, and the high-temperature shockwave from Larvitar's Fire Punch surged in like a detonated powder keg!
The forces of thunder and fire violently collided, annihilated each other, and erupted into chaotic energy turbulence. In an instant, the surrounding muscle tissue was blown into a bloody mess, while the bone structure developed spiderweb-like cracks!
Immediately after, at the rib and waist area where Larvitar's Fire Punch had landed: extreme heat was still burning, and the residual electricity from Lin Xia's Thunder Punch fell into it like sparks into boiling oil!
The electric current stimulated the already burned and weakened tissue, triggering an even more violent chain reaction!
It was as if a miniature thunder-fire furnace had been ignited inside its body!
Finally, the two rampaging energies coursing through the Shadow Leopard's meridians collided again and again, causing secondary and tertiary internal detonations!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Continuous, dull, and horrifying explosions rang out from inside the Shadow Leopard's body!
Its once agile and elegant frame now looked like a broken sack, violently convulsing and twisting under the shockwaves of the internal blasts!
Large patches of its black fur were charred and peeled back, revealing bloodied flesh beneath, some areas were even carbonized by the explosions!
Blue electric arcs and crimson sparks continued to flicker stubbornly at its wounds, inflicting ongoing burns and paralysis!
A thick mixture of burnt flesh, blood, and earth-like stench filled the sandstorm before being rapidly swept away by the wind.
In just two punches!
Through perfect coordination, attribute synergy, and flawless timing, Lin Xia and Larvitar's combined attack had instantly crippled this arrogant, stealth-hunting five-thousand-year Soul Beast. It lay collapsed on the sandstorm-ravaged ground, drenched in blood, its aura weakened to the extreme, emitting only faint, pained whimpers, no longer able to stand.
Inside the tree-root hollow, Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth tightly, barely stopping herself from screaming.
Her small body trembled slightly from shock and fear, but her dark eyes, once dead and hollow were now wide open, filled with unimaginable shock and turbulent disbelief!
What, what did she just see?
That sky-obscuring sandstorm spanning six hundred meters was that something a Great Soul Master could create?
This was beyond all the legends she had ever heard about powerful Soul Masters!
This was a natural disaster!
Lin Xia's figure, with flames and lightning erupting simultaneously from both hands… controlling two completely opposite and violently destructive elements at the same time?
It completely shattered her understanding of Soul Skills!
The heat of the flames made her skin sting even from this distance, while the pressure of the thunder made her very soul tremble!
And then there was Larvitar, that usually cute little companion who liked to nudge her gently when enraged, it was this terrifying?!
The power erupting from that small body was no less than Lin Xia's!
Perhaps even stronger!
The coordination between the two was flawless man and beast moving as one, striking once, and leaving that terrifying five-thousand-year Soul Beast on the brink of death!
The pride of her clan's speed and stealth.
In the face of such absolute power and a disaster-like domain, what did it even amount to?
All the harsh training, the brutal competition, the suffocating fate of her family…
In front of this scene of world-shaking destruction, it suddenly felt not so unbreakable anymore.
A thought struck her mind like thunder, exploding in her stunned emptiness.
Lin Xia just what kind of person is he? Is he really only a Great Soul Master?
The wind and sand continued to roar violently, carrying the scent of blood and scorched flesh.
At the center of the sandstorm, Lin Xia's gaze was as cold as frost. The dying Shadow Leopard's final struggle did not even move a strand of hair on his forehead.
Those dark golden pupils locked onto the struggling black figure without the slightest hesitation.
"It's over."
Lin Xia whispered. His left hand still crackled with lingering lightning, while flames reignited in his right!
"Fire Punch!"
"Thunder Punch!"
The two fists were not thrown at the same time, but instead carried a near-perfect rhythm.
The left fist, engulfed in blazing crimson flames, struck first against the side of the Shadow Leopard's barely raised head. The extreme heat instantly scorched its fur, while the massive impact forced its head violently aside, disrupting the momentum of its final counterattack!
Almost at the exact same moment the left fist landed, the right fist wrapped in blinding violet lightning shot forward like a venomous dragon, precise and merciless, piercing straight into the Shadow Leopard's exposed throat!
BOOM—SIZZLE!
The violent tearing of thunder and the explosive burning of flames erupted simultaneously within its fragile windpipe!
Azure electric serpents raged wildly, while crimson fire surged outward from within!
The Shadow Leopard couldn't even release a final cry as its burning throat swallowed the sound. Its body convulsed violently, as if all its bones had been ripped away, and the killing intent in its eyes was instantly replaced by the dull gray of death.
Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up dust. The stench of burnt flesh and scorched electricity spread through the wind and sand before being swiftly carried away by the turbulent air.
After confirming the threat had been completely eliminated, Lin Xia's mind shifted slightly.
"Disperse."
The violent six-hundred-meter sandstorm surrounding him and Zhu Zhuqing was smoothed away as if by an invisible hand. The rotating sand walls lost all support in an instant, and billions of grains of sand poured down like a golden waterfall, before finally settling back into the earth.
"Larvitar!"
Almost at the same moment Lin Xia dismissed his Soul Skill, Larvitar also withdrew its power.
The yellow dust that had filled the sky and blocked out the sun receded like a tide.
The distorted light of the sandstorm returned to normal, and the glow of the setting sun once again spilled over the land, painting the ruined forest in gold and crimson.
But the landscape had already been utterly transformed—within hundreds of meters, trees were either snapped in half or stripped bare, leaving only skeletal trunks; the ground had been gouged and overturned like it had been plowed by a giant beast, exposing fractured rock and deep trenches.
Standing at the center of it all, Lin Xia looked at what he had created, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Even he, mentally prepared as he was, had to admit that the combined effect of Larvitar's Sand Strom and Sand Force had exceeded his expectations.
"This power is a bit too ridiculous."
He muttered softly, sensing the Soul Power he had consumed and estimating how much threat this technique would pose to a Soul King-level opponent.
At that moment, faint footsteps approached.
Zhu Zhuqing walked over cautiously.
Her little face was still slightly pale from the earlier shock, but her dark, obsidian-like eyes now shimmered with an unprecedented light.
That light was almost overflowing—pure, unrestrained shock and admiration.
She had witnessed everything.
The apocalyptic sandstorm, the thunder and fire fists that instantly tore apart a five-thousand-year Soul Beast!
This was not the power a Great Soul Master should possess!
It had completely shattered her understanding of what "strength" meant!
"Lin Xia gege…"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice carried a faint tremor of excitement. She looked up at him, her big eyes fixed on him without blinking, as if he were a divine being walking among mortals.
"Y-you why are you so strong?"
