Jiang Jie's blood and qi surged. The fight with Grom was not easy. Even though he won by using skill, he was still grazed by Grom's fists several times. He had many wounds on his chest, and his left arm almost became useless after taking a hit.
Of course, Grom wasn't having an easy time either. When Jiang Jie's fist or palm touched his body, his pure Chi seeped directly into it, damaging his body tissues. If Grom's body hadn't been tough enough and Jiang Jie's Chi energy hadn't been so low, it could have even damaged his internal organs!
The saying "hitting a cow through a mountain, hitting a cow through its skin" perfectly describes this situation.
The mortal body is not indestructible. With the protection of enchanted armor, the protection of Gorehowl, and the protection of demonic power, even the magic sword of the orange bow Thori'dal could not harm him, because it was a pure magical attack and not powerful enough.
But now, without the triple protection, let alone Jiang Jie's iron palm, even the most ordinary fine steel swords could cut through his skin. Compared to their ancestors, the Gronn, the Orcs are ultimately far inferior in individual strength and physical attributes.
This is why ordinary soldiers can kill Legendary in certain situations. For example, not long ago, the Orcs Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer killed from behind by an unknown soldier, and then Doomhammer fell into Thrall's hands, making Thrall the new Warchief of the Orcs.
"Cunning human! You deliberately tricked me!" Grom roared, his Rage rising, and the demonic power was showing signs of taking control of his mind again.
Grom possesses a strong will and will; only when influenced by emotions such as hatred, anger, humiliation, and pain will he give demonic power an opportunity to be controlled.
" Warrior aren't just about strength. That's why Thrall is the Warchief, while you, the strongest Orcs Warrior, can only lead the Warsong Clan." Jiang Jie sneered, "Of course, I know you'll disagree, so I'll give you another chance!"
"Hmph, I already know how treacherous you are! Human, you have no chance!" Grom stepped into the circle.
This time, he realized he couldn't Charge in such a confined space, so he stopped Charge and instead approached Jiang Jie directly, swinging his fists.
In this way, it would be difficult for Jiang Jie to use Grom's strength against him. Grom's strength, combat experience, and combat skills were all there; even if he tried to use Grom's strength against him, he could only push him a meter or two away at most, not out of the circle.
However, Jiang Jie still had a way.
In a fistfight, Jiang Jie was no match for Grom's power and staggered back five steps, reaching the edge of the circle, just one step away from leaving it.
This isn't an act; it's real. Jiang Jie couldn't possibly fake it, because in front of Grom, you can't fake it. Grom's combat experience is far too rich.
The fight had been going on for two minutes. Jiang Jie's agile and varied footwork made it impossible for Grom to defeat him. Every time Grom attacked with all his might, Jiang Jie would unknowingly deflect the force, making his fists feel like they were hitting a ball of cotton, unable to exert any power.
He intended to mock Jiang Jie, but Jiang Jie did not avoid the fight; instead, he actually engaged in hand-to-hand combat with him, never moving more than three meters away. In any case, Jiang Jie did not shy away from the battle!
To be unable to defeat a human who was not even twenty years old in a duel for two minutes was a humiliation for Grom!
Grom grew increasingly agitated, and the demonic power within him became increasingly difficult to control. In fact, to prevent violating Mak'gora's rules by using demonic power, he had to be distracted and careful, which meant he could only unleash half of his full strength.
Jiang Jie's various rules restricted him completely.
But Orcs value promises; once they've made a promise, they can't go back on it. Grom realized he'd fallen into a trap, but he gritted his teeth and had to keep fighting.
Now that he finally had an opportunity, Grom rushed over and threw a punch at Jiang Jie.
Even Grom himself couldn't withstand that punch without moving an inch or dodging it!
However,
Jiang Jie blocked it. " Silk-Reeling Jin!"
He stretched out his hands and instantly wrapped them around Grom's arms. Then, he turned his body to the side, pulled hard, and pushed off with his legs, leaping over Grom's head. Grom, pulled so forcefully by Jiang Jie, lost his balance and rushed out of the circle.
Grom is tempered steel, Jiang Jie can switch between the two, combining strength and gentleness. Although he is far inferior to Grom in terms of strength, he surpasses Grom by a wide margin in terms of gentleness.
Orcs are born without knowing the concept of gentleness; they believe more in the power of physical combat!
"Shameless humans!" Grom was utterly enraged. His anger completely consumed him, and his emotions surged. He could no longer control his demonic power, and his speed increased dramatically. Suddenly, Charge into Jiang Jie and punched Jiang Jie, sending him flying!
This attack was extremely powerful. Jiang Jie was even sent flying ten meters away, crashing into a small tree and snapping it in half. Even with his Chi protecting him, Jiang Jie still felt his internal organs tremble and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This is Grom's current power, a power that Jiang Jie is completely unable to contend with at this stage!
After a series of battles, Jiang Jie was covered in wounds, both internally and externally, and even his internal organs were aching. This was under the rules; if it had been a direct duel, Jiang Jie estimated that he would be unable to get up by now, or even dead!
" Grom!" Jiang Jie scrambled to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth, and sneered, "You've lost! You used demonic power! You've violated Orcs traditions!"
Perhaps the rules proposed by Jiang Jie did not conform to the traditions of Mak'gora, which is why the Orcs never believed that Grom had lost. The true Mak'gora did not have any restrictions on regions.
However, Mak'gora does not allow the use of magic or any other energy, including elemental energy and demonic power, that much is clear!
Now that Grom has used demonic power, all the Orcs will think that Grom has broken the rules, and therefore he has already lost!
Under normal circumstances, Grom would certainly feel ashamed at this moment, but he is not normal now.
A voice echoed in his mind, "What, Mak'gora? Orcs, you are my servant, you are mine! Your will is under my control! Take up your weapon and kill him!"
That was Mannoroth's voice, echoing in Grom's mind. Demonic power erupted from Grom's body, and Grom eyes turned red once more. He roared and rushed forward to pick up the Gorehowl Battle Axe.
Then, at that moment, Jiang Jie suddenly struck out with his palm, the sweeping airflow blocking Grom's path. Jiang Jie Lightning Divine Movement, arriving before Grom and firmly grasping Gorehowl.
"My battle axe!" Grom roared, charging towards Jiang Jie.
"It's yours, that will never change, but it belongs to the real you! Now, you can't have it!" Jiang Jie sneered, then shouted, "Stop him!"
boom!
The four little Elemental Spirits suddenly appeared.
Earth element! Fire element! Wind element! Water Elemental!
The four elemental forces immediately formed a barrier, trapping Grom inside.
This is a variant of the Four-Element Barrier, with simple modifications. Now, Grom is trapped inside, and even with his Legendary swordsman abilities, he cannot break through it after losing Gorehowl.
This was the conspiracy that Jiang Jie had already devised before the battle even began. The reason he brought up Mak'gora was simply to buy time for Anveena and the four little Elemental Spirits, giving them time to build the barrier.
These Orcs are mostly Warrior, with almost no Shaman. The only spellcasters are Troll Witch Doctor, but those Troll Witch Doctor are more skilled in Voodoo. They could certainly force their way through this barrier, but it would take time.
" Gorehowl, I'm taking it!" Jiang Jie retreated to Cenarius's side. "Three days from now, I'll be waiting for you in the eastern canyon! Remember, I need to see Thrall, or you won't get Gorehowl back!"
"No!" Grom roared, but it was too late.
With a roar, Jiang Jie and the heavily injured Cenarius headed away into the depths of Ashenvale Forest.
All the Orcs made way, as Mak'gora's agreed-upon victory conditions had to be observed.
