1826 The Body of a Mortal (1)
Saint Knee Marking Seed Technique!

During the brief contact, not only did Number Two ascertain the general combat strength of the Berserk Giant, but Xu Xiaoshou also gained a clear understanding of the Divine Oracle’s power.

His impressive physique strengthened to the level of the Holy Emperor, was difficult to resist.

In terms of battle consciousness and agility, he could barely keep up with a Holy Emperor at Level 0.

How terrifying!

At least, when Xu Xiaoshou fought against Yu Lingdi, he felt that he used only about ten or twenty percent of his strength, yet his opponent was left severely injured.

However, despite exerting his full strength, Xu Xiaoshou still felt incapable of overpowering Number Two!

Just like the elbow strike from before…

If it were Elder Han, his body would have been crushed by the Berserk Giant!

Number Two’s whip kick may appear to have been deflected, but in reality, it dealt the most severe damage to the Berserk Giant.

As a result, one of the giant’s arms was instantly shattered and temporarily immobilized.

Number Two’s control over his strength was incredibly skillful!

While the Berserk Giant seemed unscathed on the surface, the internal injuries were extremely severe. Yet, he gritted his teeth and managed to maintain a calm demeanor.

As for the moment when Number Two leaped and exposed his vulnerable abdomen…

To be honest, Xu Xiaoshou wondered if it was an intentional move.

In an attempt to push Number Two away, he had no other choice but to use a knee strike, marking it with five compressed energy sources.

Overwhelmed and outmatched, if he did not attack and waited for the opponent to strike, he would meet his demise!

As for the Saint Seeds on All Five Fingers Technique…

It was not limited to just the fingers!

As long as he wanted, Xu Xiaoshou could produce five energy sources from any part of his body.

Of course, this surge of energy was released to devour Number Two’s Silent Black Restraint.

An eye for an eye!

A shockwave exploded in the void.

The knee strike delivered a palpable sensation of impact against a solid object.

Everyone remained fixated on the relentless onslaught of the Berserk Giant, who launched consecutive powerful attacks.

However, Xu Xiaoshou could perceptibly sense that this knee strike did not land on a non-vital area on Number Two’s abdomen.

In a split second, this Divine Oracle, whose battle consciousness approached invincibility, exerted force from his waist, causing his body to shift backward slightly, creating a tiny gap.

At the moment the knee strike approached, his hands moved in a whirlwind of motion in the air, swiftly descending with a powerful force, overlapping and firmly pressing onto the knee of the Berserk Giant.

“Bang! Bang!”

The elbows on both sides cracked open, releasing a terrifying surge of energy.

Utilizing this thrust, Number Two firmly covered the knee of the Berserk Giant, using only his hands!

As they beheld the astounding scene, everyone’s eyelids fluttered in response.

It was mind-blowing to witness these two colossal beings moving with such astonishing speed.

The force of the knee strike could be directly resisted with physical strength alone.

However, everyone in the Arena knew that the Berserk Giant’s strike also carried the energy attack that previously shattered the First Hall of Sins.

How would Number Two handle this?

“Confront it head-on?”

As this question emerged in Xu Xiaoshou’s mind, his body instantly retreated at the speed of light. He could not afford to be caught in his own explosion again.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the entire Arena witnessed Number Two pushing away the Berserk Giant’s knee and gripping it tightly.

He had caught hold of the compressed energy source of the explosive Saint Knee Marking Seed Technique!

“Madman!”

Xu Xiaoshou immediately sensed Number Two’s intention.

Did he actually intend to use his physical strength to contain the explosion in the palm of his hand to prevent it from detonating on a large scale?
Such an action would subject Number Two to impacts thousands of times greater than what Jiang Buyi had experienced!

Keep in mind that Jiang Buyi only endured damage at the center of the explosion, while the rest was absorbed by the First Hall of Sins.

Number Two’s grasp was tantamount to assuming the role of a guardian deity, choosing to bear all the damage alone.

Why?

Xu Xiaoshou glanced at Situ Yongren in his hand as if he had suddenly realized something.

“Get down!”

This time, there was no need for someone else to shout. Feng Xiaose yelled out and swiftly dropped to the ground.

Lei Xi’er also crouched down, her figure disheveled.

Fearing the explosion, even the Berserk Giant chose to retreat. There was no justification for others to stand their ground courageously.

But…

There was a clear distinction between battle consciousness and battle experience.

Xu Xiaoshou, who had never experienced such high-level close-quarters combat and was engaging with a demi-saint in full force for the first time, had not even considered this in his subjective consciousness.

The source seed was seething, and in the brief time before it exploded, outsiders could not make use of it.

Number Two, however, with the battle consciousness of the Third Realm could achieve this!

“Boom! Boom!”

Everyone could already see and hear the brilliance and sound of the compressed source seed’s eruption.

Number Two remained unperturbed.

He was the calmest war machine, fearless, and always able to analyze the most advantageous actions for himself during combat.

“Bang!”

Six energy wings burst out from behind, propelling Number Two directly in front of the Berserk Giant.

Number Two tightly clenched the exploding source seed, attempting to shield the entire arena. At the critical moment, he spread his palms, revealing the exposed source seed in his hands.

Brightness filled the entire arena!

At that moment, Xu Xiaoshou could see a cunning smile forming at the corner of the face across from him.

“Impossible!”

What goes around comes around. Xu Xiaoshou was now the one in disbelief!

His spiritual senses had been focused on the information bar all along, and there had been no indication of being deceived. How could this…

Wait!

Number Two was an artificial being, not a pure living creature.

Perhaps his thoughts themselves could not be detected by the information bar.

His opponent had gained the upper hand, and there was no time for evasion.

The Berserk Giant could only watch helplessly as Number Two pressed his face close, gripping the already erupting Berserk Source Seed with a single hand.
