The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1279: Falling Behind [First Update]

In an instant, Jory’s eyes erupted with a fierce and brutal aura, and his expression turned mad.

”Boom!” Endless flames surged from Jory’s body, and everyone present showed expressions of surprise. At this moment, Jory was like a wild beast, utterly insane.

”Bang!” With a muffled sound, Herland’s punch slammed heavily into Jory’s chest. However, at this very moment, Jory’s flames transformed into armor resembling a wild beast, enveloping his body.

After Herland’s fist struck that beast-like armor, the flames wrapped around Herland’s arm as if he had fallen into a quagmire, making it impossible for him to withdraw his arm.

”Ah~~” Instantly, the terrifying high temperature began to burn Herland’s arm, and Herland screamed in pain, revealing a flaw. Jory seized this opportunity and delivered a heavy punch to Herland’s chest.

”Bang!” That punch landed heavily on Herland’s chest, shattering his chest bones.

”Swish!” In a flash, Herland flew backward like a severed kite, crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena.

”Ah~~~” Jory let out a howl akin to Ye Feng’s, scorching flames roared over his body.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly shocked. At this moment, Jory was like a fiery beast, exuding an intense killing intent, as if ready to tear Herland apart at any moment. His aura was terrifying to the extreme. It was at this point that Herland’s father realized and shouted loudly, ”It’s the Blood Explosion Pill!”

”Blood Explosion Pill!” Upon hearing this name, everyone came to a realization, their eyes filled with shock. They hadn’t expected Jory to have consumed the Blood Explosion Pill. Everyone knew that the Blood Explosion Pill was a forbidden medicine.

When consumed by a Superpower User, it burns one’s vital energy as the price to temporarily and significantly enhance one’s strength. While the user’s strength greatly increases, they also fall into a state of spiritual frenzy, causing substantial damage to their spiritual power. And now, Jory was clearly gradually slipping into this frenzied state.

Nobody anticipated that Jory would consume the Blood Explosion Pill just to defeat Herland, leaving everyone surprised.

Claude looked angrily at Jonas and said, ”Jonas, you actually allowed your son to consume the Blood Explosion Pill. Don’t you think it’s despicable? Aren’t you afraid of causing irreversible damage to Jory afterward? Is it really worth it?”

However, Jonas still wore a relaxed expression and said calmly, ”What does ’worth’ even mean? Don’t worry, my son took an improved version of the Blood Explosion Pill, and its side effects have been minimized. Nothing will happen, Clyde. Sorry, but the first place in this assessment will be my son, not Herland...”

Everyone kept their eyes fixed on the arena, on Herland and Jory. Jory’s eyes were blood-red, resembling a Demon Beast, his aura tightly locked onto Herland. At this moment, Herland’s sleeves had completely burned away, his arm charred black.

Jory, step by step, walked toward Herland, eyes filled with killing intent. The waves of heat surged continuously. Jory’s aura was still improving. At this moment, Jory, just from his aura alone, had far surpassed Herland, nearly matching a fourth-level Spirit King. Even though Herland practiced both Martial Arts and superpowers, he found it hard to defeat him.

Facing Jory, Herland frowned but showed no fear or intention to retreat.

Elder Peng looked at Herland and said, ”Herland, if you want to surrender, I can stop the match at any time!”

Ye Feng also looked at Herland. Ye Feng knew that Jory’s strength was now near the level of a fourth-level Spirit King. Ye Feng said, ”Herland, you’ve already done your best. No one will blame you even if you stop now. You’ve achieved your goal.”

However, determination shone in Herland’s eyes, with no intention of giving up: ”No, Brother Ye Feng, I’ve already said that I will defeat Jory today, and I will definitely not give up!”

Seeing Herland’s determination, Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction and did not stop Herland. Perhaps Herland could gain a true transformation from this competition, greatly enhancing his strength and mind.

”Herland, I’ll kill you!” At this moment, Jory raised his aura to the extreme, the flames over his body roaring. Herland’s whole body was propelled out, the speed reaching immense levels, incredibly intimidating.

”Swish!” In the blink of an eye, Jory had already reached Herland and stretched out his fist, delivering a heavy punch toward Herland. Herland’s eyes filled with determination, and threads of Lei Ting entangled him.

The momentum of both had already risen to the peak, their hair stood on end, and the light of the flames and Lei Ting directly illuminated the entire arena. In this instant, the fists of the two clashed heavily.

”Boom!” With a thunderous roar, the explosion resounded all around, the Lei Ting and blazing fire spreading out.

The terrifying force blasted Herland backward. Jory followed with another punch aiming at Herland. Herland sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but he was a step too late, taking a punch to the shoulder.

”Crack~~” Immediately, the sound of bones cracking echoed from Herland’s shoulder, causing him great pain. Herland continued to fight back, but Jory roared like a bloodthirsty beast.

”Ah~~” Accompanied by Jory’s roar, countless Punch Shadows reverberated between heaven and earth.

Jory’s attacks, like a storm, kept hammering toward Herland.

Herland was directly overwhelmed by Jory’s attacks, retreating constantly, defending repeatedly, simply no match for Jory.

If it were another second-level Spirit King, they would have been defeated by Jory long ago. However, Herland, being a dual practitioner of Martial Arts and superpowers, was much stronger than other practitioners of his level, thus barely able to hold on.
