Jiang Jie used his Internal Energy to simulate a thief's skills, and then...
" Sprint!"
It's not running on the ground, it's running on the walls!
After running for no more than three steps, Jiang Jie leaped up, pushed off the wall with both feet, and directly passed over the dense Undead of undead, arriving above Patriarch Alexei's head. Then, he unleashed both palms simultaneously.
" The Flying Dragon in the Sky!"
The next moment, half of Jiang Jie's internal Internal Energy was drawn away, transforming into a dragon-shaped stream of energy that then struck Alexei.
The dragon-shaped aura scattered, creating a storm that sent dozens of Undead flying. Alexei, who took the brunt of the attack, collapsed to the ground, becoming a mangled corpse that could never rise again.
The Thirty-Six Dragon-Subduing Palms; if struck head-on, who could withstand it?
A resurrected Undead doesn't have that ability yet!
Landing from mid-air, Jiang Jie stumbled and nearly fell.
The previous palm strike, combined with the previous exertion, left him with less than a quarter of his internal Internal Energy. The feeling of being utterly depleted was terrible; an unprecedented sense of exhaustion and emptiness washed over him, leaving his body feeling incredibly weak and powerless.
What does it feel like?
It's like the feeling of being completely drained after playing online games non-stop for two days and two nights in an internet cafe, or playing for a day and a night in a hotel!
This is exactly how I felt when Wrath of the Lich King was first released and I stayed up all night grinding to level 80!
Jiang Jie smiled bitterly.
That's the downside of the Thirty-Six Dragon-Subduing Palms; it consumes far too much Internal Energy, even more than the Pegasus Meteor Finger!
With his current level of internal energy cultivation, even if he uses it sparingly, he can only unleash a maximum of three consecutive palm strikes.
In fact, most people who practice the Thirty-Six Dragon-Subduing Palms only begin practicing after their internal energy cultivation has reached the Houtian Seventh Layer. There are very few people like him who start practicing at the Houtian Fourth Layer.
No matter how profound the foundation of the Black Tortoise Longevity Art is, the Houtian Fourth Layer Houtian Seventh Layer. In fact, the seventh level of the Houtian Seventh Layer is a hurdle. Especially when the Houtian Seventh Layer Perfection, the Internal Energy directly doubles compared to the initial entry into the Houtian Seventh Layer. Jiang Jie still far behind!
If Jiang Jie wants to compare with those experts at the Houtian Seventh Layer Perfection, he needs to reach at least the Houtian Sixth Layer Perfection. At his current cultivation speed, it won't take more than a few days.
Looking around, many Undead had been killed, as well as at least a dozen necromancers. Necromancers are thin-skinned and have little health, making them even more vulnerable than Ghoul and zombies. Under the power of the Thirty-Six Dragon-Subduing Palms, they simply could not survive. Anyone caught in the blast without having prepared a defensive spell beforehand would surely die.
Without Alexei's Unholy Aura and without the restraint of numerous psychics, Fenna was like a tiger descending from the mountain, an unstoppable raging fire.
Aggression raged like fire.
The offensive nature of the Holy Light manifests in Ashbringer as blazing Holy Fire that incinerate everything and purify evil with fire.
No Undead cared about Jiang Jie; they were all drawn to Fenna. The Holy Fire was both too powerful and too attractive to Undead Undead. Like moths to a flame, all the Undead rushed towards Fenna and were burned to ashes by the Holy Fire.
There was no space within five meters of Jiang Jie, so he bent down and picked up the longsword from the ground.
This is Patriarch Alexei's longsword, a slender and sharp two-handed sword, engraved with the Barov Family crest.
It is called the " Barov Family Longsword," a family heirloom passed down through the Barov Family for hundreds of years. Only the head of the Barov Family is qualified to possess it, and it must never leave his side.
Incongruous with its status, this is not a purple epic quality sword. Because its history is too ancient, it was forged when the Barov Family was just rising to prominence. The materials used at that time were not good enough, and even though it was later reforged, it is still a blue fine quality sword.
Even Baron Rivendare, whose family power and wealth are far inferior to the Barov Family, possesses a legendary purple sword.
The patriarch of the prestigious Barov Family actually wields a broken, high-quality blue sword? Is that unworthy of the Barov patriarch's status?
No, no, that's not how it works.
If Patriarch Alexei wanted, he could easily buy a complete set of purple epic gear and arm himself to the teeth. With the Barov Family's wealth and connections, they could easily have King Magni of Ironforge personally forge it, and then have the Archmage of Dalaran help with the enchanting!
Then, what's the point of doing that?
Unless one advances to the Legendary level, to what extent can an individual's power be amplified? Can they take on a thousand? Or ten thousand?
Absolutely impossible!
The Barov Family values wealth and power over personal strength. Patriarch Alexei is merely a high-ranking Warrior, yet he has had more than one powerful professional warrior serve him.
Even Lady Jandice, the Archmage from Dalaran, married him, didn't she?
In the eyes of such a thousand-year-old family, personal martial prowess is nothing; wealth exceeding the national treasury and territory equivalent to half of the Kingdom of Alterac are the strong backing for the Barov Family's status!
Who can resist the allure of power and money?
This longsword is of great significance; in the eyes of important members of the Barov Family, it is far more valuable than a purple epic longsword.
That was before.
Now that the Barov Family is finished, the symbolic meaning of this sword has vanished, and it's no different from an ordinary blue, high-quality longsword.
But at that moment, through the 3D stereoscopic images in the game pod, Jiang Jie "saw" a phantom shadow floating up from Patriarch Alexei's corpse and standing in front of him.
At the same time, he heard a sound that no one else could hear:
"I know you, Nicholas. You are one of my people, and you have always lived in Andorhal. You came here many years ago, and I remember you well."
"I didn't expect you to have grown so much and become such a skilled rogue? The moves you just used seemed to be Pandaren Monk fighting techniques? It seems that Master Storm, who came from afar back then, had a great influence on you."
"So you've come to end the Barov Family? Oh, whatever, the Barov Family no longer exists."
"However, the Barov Family's foundation remains! The wealth of this thousand-year-old family still exists! Throughout Lordaeron, there are still Barov Family Booty Bay troves, astonishing riches unknown even to Kel'Thuzad and untapped by the Cult of the Damned!"
"Kill Darkmaster Gandling, kill Illucia, free her, and then purify this Barov Family cemetery!"
"Then, I will tell you everything about the Barov Family!"
"I will grant you the last vestiges of the Barov Family's wealth, and then help you rebuild the Barov Family. And you will be the next patriarch of the Barov Family!"
