No Destruction, No Construction
Boom!
Tie Jingang's giant axe, imbued with his inner energy, landed in the courtyard. Its immense destructive force cracked the earth, cleaved the courtyard walls, and left huge, straight cracks on the rock face behind the courtyard.
Martial Combat Faction don't use many fancy tricks. Their so-called Ultimate Move are simply about condensing internal energy to Gao Qiang and deal maximum damage. It's just that different people use different techniques.
Even with Tie Jingang's cultivation level, after using this move, he felt his energy waning and stood there panting heavily...
Looking at Long Hui, who was facing the front, he had already been cleaved into the ground by the huge axe blade of qi. Starting from his left shoulder, a hideous wound extended all the way to his abdomen. His body was almost cut in two, and he lay in the crack in the ground, already lifeless.
"Success..." Tie Jingang stood up, panting heavily. "Finally solved."
"Martial Uncle Tie is amazing!" Lao Miao Miao shouted excitedly, ignoring the sweat on her forehead. "That axe blow was so powerful!"
Lei Tianyang nodded as well. Although Tie Jingang was not at the Peak Realm, just looking at this axe blow, it already had power close to the Peak!
The fact that he could unleash such an attack shows that his mastery of the Heart Refining Realm has reached its peak, and he has touched the threshold of the Peak in the field of technology. As long as Foundation Establishment and nourishes his vital energy to the fullest level and improves the quality and quantity of his vital energy, there is a high possibility that another Peak Expert will appear in the world!
Of course, this is easier said than done. There are many people in the world who are at a similar level to Tie Jingang, but most of them never reach the Peak even after a lifetime of hard work.
When the three realms are fully cultivated, they complement each other, creating a wondrous chemical reaction. However, before that, even a slight difference can make a world of difference. The attack that Tie Jingang unleashed with all his might can be considered his trump Ultimate Move, but if he were to reach his Peak, such power might only be equivalent to a normal attack in a serious battle.
If Long Hui had truly recovered to his Peak strength, he wouldn't have taken this attack seriously at all. But right now, his condition was clearly off, and this move was enough to severely injure or even kill him!
"In that case, the crisis should be over..." Lei Tianyang sheathed his sword. Lao Miao Miao came to Gu Master Elder's side, helped the old lady up, and then frowned.
A thin, long wound can be seen running from the boy's left shoulder to his right hip, but it is healing at a visible speed as his life force is replenished. At the same time, with each step the boy takes, his aura increases, the protective energy on his body becomes more solid, and the dragon pattern becomes clearer.
"Martial Uncle Tie... something's wrong!" Lao Miao Miao exclaimed, "Gu Master Elder hasn't recovered."
"As the saying goes, 'No Destruction, No Construction '... I should thank you for that axe blow." Long Hui chuckled, "That was close! It almost killed me, but unfortunately, I didn't die. Instead, because I was in a near-death state, it activated the potential of the Spirit Gathering Gu to protect its host, further accelerating my absorption of vital energy and life force!"
"No..." Lao Miao Miao shook her head and said, "Her vital energy is still decreasing... and her life force hasn't stopped draining away..."
The group turned to look and saw a shirtless boy slowly crawling out of a crack in the ground...
"Although we haven't returned to our Peak yet, we're not far off!"
"What?" Tie Jingang immediately became alert, and at the same time, a powerful pressure came from behind him.
As he spoke, he clenched his right hand, on which the faint outlines of dragon claws were visible.
"It's normal that he can't wake up for a while after having his vital energy and life force drained for so long..." Tie Jingang stood the axe on the ground and regulated his Inner Breath.
That's right, it's a boy, not the eight or nine-year-old child from before, but a boy who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old and whose physique is just beginning to grow, but whose eyebrows and eyes are eight or nine parts similar to Qing Lian's!
Tie Jingang, axe in hand, sweat beading on his forehead, could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the other side, a stark contrast to his previous childlike state. Even if he were given a Miraculous Elixir to instantly restore him to peak condition, let alone his current depleted stamina and energy, he still wouldn't be a match for the young Long Hui!
"Run!" Tie Jingang gritted his teeth and said, "We can't win anymore. Every person who can escape is a winner... We can't all die here!"
However, the two people behind him did not react at all.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Tie Jingang turned around angrily, only to find Lao Miao Miao and Lei Tianyang standing there dumbfounded, trembling all over, like mice that had seen a cat, completely powerless to resist.
Is this all it takes to withstand mental pressure? Tie Jingang was plunged into despair. A student is still a student. Even if his cultivation level is not low and his foundation is solid, without much experience in life-or-death battles, his mental resilience is insufficient. Faced with such powerful pressure, he didn't even have the courage to resist...
What are we going to do? Are all three of them going to die here...?
There was no other way but to fight! Tie Jingang forcefully activated his vital energy, picked up his axe, and took a step forward, ready to fight to the death.
Faced with this futile struggle, Long Hui merely gave a contemptuous sneer, raised a hand, and tried to extinguish the tiny flame of hope before him.
But at that moment, Long Hui suddenly straightened up, a look of shock on his face!
At the same time, the oppressive aura he had been releasing suddenly stopped, and Lei Tianyang and Lao Miao Miao, who had been suppressed, suddenly came to their senses, panting heavily with sweat on their foreheads...
What's going on...? Tie Jingang looked at Long Hui in surprise and found a Blur figure appearing behind him!
"Luo Jun?!"
Tie Jingang blurted out,
Appearing behind Long Hui was Luo Jun, who was wearing Qi Breaking Cone that was now embedded in Long Hui's back!
Upon hearing Tie Jingang's words, Lei Tianyang and Lao Miao Miao also looked up and were astonished to see Luo Jun... How could this be? A Body Refinement Realm had actually intervened in their battle against a near- Peak expert, and even managed to launch a successful sneak attack!
Tie Jingang realized that Luo Jun must have used Invisibility Talisman to sneak up. Long Hui had just narrowly escaped death and his attention was focused on the three people in front of him. In addition, Luo Jun himself did not have any internal energy, so he did not arouse suspicion.
As for the Qi Breaking Cone, it is precisely the perfect means to counter the Qi. Only when Luo Jun was caught off guard was he able to launch a successful sneak attack and break through the defense in one strike!
But what's the use of just breaking through its defenses? This Long Hui is absorbing the entire Medicine King Valley's vital energy and life force. It was almost cleaved in two just now, yet it has already recovered. What is this mere Qi Breaking Cone stab compared to that?
"Run!" Tie Jingang shouted, "Luo Jun, you run! This guy is too dangerous! And Lei Tianyang and Lao Miao Miao, I'll hold him off!"
With that, he mustered his last bit of energy, brandished his weapon, and charged forward!
However, just as he got close, Long Hui's body suddenly convulsed, and then Storm Magic of qi surged around him. The huge dragon pattern spread out and with a loud bang, it sent Tie Jingang flying. He was caught by Lei Tianyang and Lao Miao Miao.
"What's going on?" The three looked at Long Hui in surprise, noticing that his condition was clearly abnormal...
At the same time, a notification sounded in Luo Jun's mind, who was in the eye of the Storm Magic.
"Ding! The event ' Interrupted Spirit Gathering Art ' was successfully completed. The Event Difficulty is 93 points, the Severity Coefficient is twelve times, and 1116 Experience Points have been gained!"
Congratulations on leveling up!
