Attempts, Part 2

"That makes sense." Kong He grinned, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp of wine.

"People live to enjoy life!"

He burped.

"Look at this world: beautiful women, fine wine, delicious food, power, and the status to dominate others! There are so many things we can strive for! With so many goals, there's always motivation to pursue them. What more could you want? Or have you already enjoyed everything?"

"Enjoyment is stagnation, stagnation leads to being surpassed, and ultimately, losing everything you have," the Black-Robed Figure replied.

"You're Supreme Ultimate," Kong He laughed heartily. "When you're enjoying yourself, you have to be unrestrained and completely indulge yourself. Only then can your body and mind be fully released and completely relaxed! Only then can you unleash even greater power when you need to surpass others!"

"But what if the process of surpassing others requires harming others?" the Black-Robed Figure said, distressed.

"Hahahaha! Isn't this how the world is? Surpass others, defeat others, kill others, enslave others! The weak should be the dogs of the strong! Isn't this a matter of course?" Kong He laughed loudly.

"Is that so?" the Black-Robed Figure asked hesitantly.

"Everyone does it this way, and if you don't, you're wrong," Kong He said nonchalantly.

"Thank you for your words of advice." The Black-Robed Figure paused for a moment. "I feel much better now."

"It's alright, those who are destined will receive help. You and I are destined to meet, so you're lucky today. Buddha is in a good mood too." Kong He smiled and patted the other's shoulder.

"Is that so?" The Black-Robed Figure was taken aback, then sighed, "Since you can understand it too."

He gently lifted his cloak, revealing his tall and imposing body beneath.

"Then I can proceed with my plan with confidence."

Beneath the cloak, the person shrouded in it was wearing a human Leather Mask that looked quite fake and wooden.

"I'm sorry," the cloaked figure said softly, "I'll try my best to make sure you don't feel any pain."

Kong He felt a chill run through his body, and suddenly, for some inexplicable reason, he felt most of the alcohol in his body dissipate.

A fine layer of white sweat rapidly seeped out from his back and forehead.

He suddenly looked up at the cloaked man.

A sharp sense of threat quickly welled up in my heart.

Whoosh! He raised his hand and unleashed the Lesser Western Little Western Heaven Palm, a unique martial art of the Western Sect, with his right arm, striking his opponent fiercely.

The Little Western Heaven Palm is known for its powerful and heavy force, which can amplify and enhance the Walker's own strength and explosive speed during cultivation and use.

This is a special palm technique somewhat similar to Hard Skill.

With moderate speed, orthodox palm techniques, and very few weaknesses, he could also combine practice and combat skills, making him very popular among the monks of the Western Sect True Buddha Temple.

Kong He used 50% of his strength in this move.

The other party's tone was incredibly arrogant, but in reality, he was mainly testing the waters.

After all, as a master of the Three Void Spirit Network, he could sense that the other party was still a being of flesh and blood.

He doesn't have the special aura and temperament of grandmasters, nor does he resemble those madmen from the Extreme Realm.

Besides him, who else could he be wary of? No one.

So when he heard what the cloaked man said, he Central Capital laugh.

Such arrogant words are only uttered by Jianghu who think they have unparalleled martial arts skills.

Anyone who has spent some time in the Jianghu wouldn't dare utter such arrogant and unreliable words.

Even if the opponent is strong, if they can't kill you, there's only one outcome: you'll wear them down.

Whoosh! The Kong He palms missed their target's side.

He was slightly taken aback, then his arm swept horizontally.

But it still didn't work out.

Lift your leg and slash upwards.

The left palm strikes the opponent's chest, chopping downwards, advancing, neutralizing the blows, and striking repeatedly.

A series of combos were unleashed with lightning speed, causing the air in front of Kong He to explode slightly.

But strangely, no matter what moves he made, his opponent seemed to dodge in advance and predict the direction of his strikes before he even made a move.

Kong He was now completely sober. He accelerated and increased his strength, but it was all in vain, as his opponent had completely predicted his move.

No matter what moves he makes, whether feints or Real Move, his opponent can accurately anticipate them and easily evade them.

"You bastard!?!" Kong He was already getting angry.

Is this the feeling of a master?

However, unlike a Grandmaster's Absolute Defense Circle, which has very obvious characteristics, this person in front of him has no concept of a defensive circle at all.

"Is all you can do is hide everywhere?!" Kong He had already used the entire set of Little Western Heaven Palm, but still couldn't touch the hem of the other's clothes.

He finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Hiss. Streams of qi and blood circulated, expanded, and boiled.

"Dharma Appearance · Yaksha!!"

Kong He's entire body gradually turned black and red, and his body began to swell, especially his legs.

Boom! In an instant, the sand beneath his feet exploded, and large swaths of sea sand shot backward like raindrops.

This sudden burst of speed resulted in a terrifying speed several times faster than before.

'Breaking Limit Skill: Divine Foot Passage!'

Kong He suddenly turned around and, surprisingly, suddenly lowered himself in front of the cloaked man, disappearing from sight.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the cloaked man.

It felt as if I had passed right through it.

His hand struck silently and fiercely behind the cloaked man.

Bang.

This time, it was clear that the change in Qi and blood from the Breaking Limit Skill was too fast and too violent, which was beyond the cloaked man's expectations and prevented him from reacting.

He could only raise one hand to block Kong He's right palm strike.

But this seemed to be an unexpected move, as the force of the palm strike aimed at the Kong He was not anticipated.

The cloaked figure stumbled, forced back several steps by the force of the blow.

He quickly regained his Kong He one last time, and then turned and ran.

"Still trying to run?!" Kong He sneered. "You ambushed Buddha, and you think you can escape alive? Aren't you being a little too naive?"

The Breaking Limit Skill he practiced— Divine Foot Passage —was the most famous small-range movement Breaking Limit Skill in the True Buddha Temple.

Its cultivation is so difficult that it is hard for ordinary people to master.

Another explosion occurred beneath Kong He's feet, scattering sand and vaguely forming a deep crater shaped like a rough lotus flower.

The other person reappeared to the right of the cloaked figure.

'Breaking Limit Skill: Subduing Dragon!'

In an instant, Kong He's muscles converged and flowed, all his power gathered in his right arm, and he struck forward with a palm.

This palm strike carried two kinds of force: a shock force that could weaken the opponent's power to block.

Another type of penetrating force can bypass the powerful defenses of Hard Skill and directly destroy the internal structure.

This kind of power technique is similarly summarized in many advanced martial arts.

However, very few places can combine two special forces like True Buddha Temple.

Whoosh! Kong He's arm whistled through the air, striking straight at the cloaked man's chest and abdomen.

Thud! Thud! The two men's hands collided at the same time.

The cloaked man was knocked back again and staggered away.

"Don't run away! Weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Now show me how arrogant you can be again! Huh?"

Kong He laughed loudly and chased after him.

He had only chased after them for a short distance when he sensed something was wrong.

The surrounding area was no longer the Citong City, which was adjacent to the street.

Instead, it was a remote and desolate Wild Sea Beach.

The cloaked figure in front of him had stopped and turned to look at him.

"Mere mortal!!" Kong He's expression changed, sensing something was wrong. He quickly turned around and was about to run away.

Whoosh! Strangely, the cloaked figure that was just in front of him suddenly appeared behind him.

Kong He was startled and quickly raised his hand to strike out with a palm.

Puff.

This time, his hand failed to repel the other party; instead, it was grabbed and he couldn't break free.

"You seem to smell even better after the event..."

The cloaked figure took a deep breath, speaking with a strange sense of ecstasy.

"You!?" Kong He was terrified and immediately activated his Second Limit State, Dharma Form - Asura.

But after only driving halfway, he sensed something was wrong.

The loss of a large amount of blood rendered the Limit State powerless, causing it to shut down rapidly as soon as it was activated.

Kong He tried to break free, but was horrified to find that he was powerless and had almost lost the strength to struggle.

He could feel all the blood in his body rushing rapidly to the arm that was being grabbed.

That speed.

The chill that rose from the depths of my heart was completely different from any previous resurrection.

Puff.

Kong He collapsed to his knees, utterly powerless.

His face also began to turn pale and lose its color.

The skin begins to wrinkle and Azure Elder, while the once robust body begins to shrink and become pitted and uneven.

Before long, he turned as white as if he had been smeared with white powder, and collapsed on the beach, motionless.

Zhang Rongfang withdrew his hand, realizing there was nothing left to absorb, and then quietly looked at the corpse on the ground.

His eyes held a certain expectation.

This proves that his talent allows him to absorb blood from the Spirit Vein, although not much, but he did manage to absorb some blood.

The amount of blood extracted from this monk was equivalent to one-third of that from the previous prisoner.

Moreover, the quality is much better than that of the prisoner.

This attack proved to him that Spirit Vein Worship God also involves consuming blood.

Moreover, its blood quality is quite high, not low.

Zhang Rongfang glanced at his Attribute Panel.

At this Trait Talent, the Blood Flesh Completion following Super Flesh has increased in value from 11 to 45.

Clearly, the difference in value was contributed by the Kong He.

Before long, the Kong He on the ground began to undulate again.

He slowly opened his eyes; there were no bloodshot eyes, only a silvery white.

With a soft rustling sound, Kong He stiffly stood up again.

His face was deathly pale, and his entire body was devoid of color. He stood motionless.

"Hmm?" Zhang Rongfang noticed that something was wrong with Kong He.

The other party seems to have entered the unconscious, automatic reaction state that occurs when a Worship God loses their senses.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly made his move.

His right palm struck Kong He's chest in an instant, like a phantom.

Thump, thump, thump! Three muffled thuds sounded in quick succession.

Kong He's two arms, which he tried to block, were broken, and his chest cavity was instantly crushed and shattered.

He watched as the other person fell to the ground again.

Zhang Rongfang shook his head regretfully.

Unfortunately, he couldn't absorb the Spirit Thread, but with the replenishment of Kong He's blood, he felt his whole body starting to heat up, as if his inner self had become more complete.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, he finally finished off Kong He.

Suddenly, Zhang Rongfang was slightly taken aback.

In his Dark Light Vision, the life force of Kong He vanished! The corpse lying on the ground also began to wither rapidly, oozing black ash and turning into a dead skin.

From beginning to end, Zhang Rongfang only drank Kong He's blood and then killed him again when he was unconscious.

Everything just ended inexplicably!?
