If it were just three or five First-rate experts, Xu Long wouldn't care at all; he would kill them with a flick of his wrist.
If it were a dozen or so First-rate- tier experts, Xu Long would be more cautious and try to defeat them one by one.
But now there are over a hundred First-rate experts; even Xu Long would be ganged up on and beaten to death.
Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, he directly used his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art to transform into a golden man.
Ding ding ding!
Countless swords and hidden weapons rained down on him, tearing his clothes to shreds.
As for the inside, not a single hair was broken.
Bang bang bang!
A single punch or kick could injure or kill.
Facing the enemy, Xu Long held nothing back, always giving it his all.
Ignoring the ninjas' attacks, Xu Long would drain their Internal Force and essence after each kill, then discard them like trash.
In the original storyline Cheng Shifei could only use the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art for a maximum of half an hour each time, and it would occasionally be forcibly dispelled.
But Xu Long's situation is different!
His martial arts skills far Cheng Shifei Shifei's, and he already possesses a foundation in Internal Force. Furthermore, with the added bonuses of five main attributes, he is simply incomparably powerful.
The Vajra Indestructible Divine Art lasts for at least five hours, and this duration is extended each time it absorbs the enemy's Internal Force and essence.
Strength, physical fitness, constitution, agility, and spirit—these five attributes greatly enhance a martial arts master.
The more primary attributes a martial arts master has, and the higher their values, the greater the boost they provide. Furthermore, this boost becomes overwhelming as the number of primary attributes increases.
Even though both have maxed-out main attributes, Xu Jiao, with all three main attributes maxed out, is able to outperform Hong Chao, Liu Shibin, and others.
The limit for C-rank is 600 points, while Xu Long only has 300 points, a significant difference.
Even so, those people in Xu Long's hands still had no chance to resist.
On one hand, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art was too powerful, and on the other hand, Xu Long's development was extremely balanced, without any weaknesses.
Attack power, defense power, recovery power, speed, and control power are all equally outstanding, making it flawless.
While these martial arts masters in the mission worlds are not as specialized as the Reincarnation Temple, they are also not as well-rounded as Xu Long.
At the very least, one's mental and physical attributes can only be slowly improved through years of dedicated cultivation.
The consequence of this is insufficient control and extremely poor recovery ability.
Bang!
Xu Long smashed a ninja's head with a single punch, showing no disgust, and then grabbed him and drained his Internal Force and essence.
"No! We are no match for him at all!"
Less than three minutes had passed, and after more than forty people had been killed in succession, the ninjas finally realized that something was wrong.
All the attacks landed on Xu Long without any effect; the opponent didn't even try to dodge, focusing solely on killing and draining his life force.
From the start of the war until now, Xu Long's face has remained completely expressionless.
Unperturbed and unhurried, as if strolling in a garden, he paid no attention to these ninjas.
With Xu Long's current strength, unless Iron Courage Divine Marquis, Cao Zhengchun, or other experts of the same level intervene, he'll just be easy prey.
"Retreat quickly..."
Someone shouted, and the remaining ninjas scattered like mice seeing a cat.
Seeing this, Xu Long did not give chase, but silently dissipated his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.
puff!
Xu Long, who had been calm, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning ashen.
The burden of the Indestructible Golden Body on his body was far more severe than he had imagined, and it had already begun to injure him.
If it's merely the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art or the Energy Absorption Great Art, the Internal Force cultivated will indeed affect the Two Qi of Yin and Yang within the body. At most, the Two Qi of Yin and Yang will taint the internal Internal Force, causing Internal Force properties to change. Subsequently, it will erode the soul and slowly alter a person's character.
However, the Indestructible Golden Body is different. This martial art is so powerful that it is outrageously strong, directly linking Two Qi of Yin and Yang with Internal Force.
Centered on Internal Force, the Two Qi of Yin and Yang within the body constantly surge and dissipate.
Each use of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art will boost Yang energy, and each use of the Energy Absorption Great Art will enhance Yin energy.
If used alone, the impact is not particularly significant.
The Indestructible Golden Body is the overarching principle of both martial arts, and they are fundamentally different.
This caused the Two Qi of Yin and Yang within Xu Long's body to be constantly and fiercely fighting each other. Even though the Yin energy had weakened considerably, it still showed no sign of behaving itself.
"As expected, I'm not one of those chosen ones; I can't do everything."
Xu Long sighed, sat down cross-legged, and used his Internal Force to heal his damaged body.
The T-Virus Enhanced Bloodline has extremely strong adaptability. If Xu Long is given enough time, he may be able to adjust his body to a state where the Yin and Yang energies are very close.
But Xu Long can't do that!
He is currently increasing his strength while simultaneously Iron Courage Divine Marquis into a false sense of security.
If Zhu Wushi discovers that Xu Long has not suffered any backlash from simultaneously cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art and the Energy Absorption Great Art, he will surely come with his strongest power to kill him.
Iron Courage Divine Marquis is not afraid of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art alone, but adding the Energy Absorption Great Art makes it a different story.
However, if Xu Long suffers a backlash that causes his bloodline to deplete, then Iron Courage Divine Marquis will not only not be afraid, but will try every means to rapidly improve Xu Long's power.
Don't forget that in Iron Courage Divine Marquis's mind, Xu Long is now single-mindedly focused on killing the emperor.
If Xu Long succeeds, it will save him a lot of trouble.
Furthermore, the faster Xu Long's strength increases, the sooner he will die.
Just as the emperor never worried about Cao Zhengchun rebelling, there was absolutely no need for it.
"There's less than a year left until the mission ends, so it's not a big problem. As long as we can return to the Reincarnation Temple alive, then we've made a profit."
Xu Long coughed and wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
He plans to take a break and give his body time to recover.
Otherwise, it would be too tragic to die before completing the mission.
Xu Long learned the art of disguise from the Thousand-Faced Gentleman. Although it was far less powerful than the Thousand-Faced Gentleman's, it was still usable.
As the saying goes, "Don't fire your gun, sneak into the village."
Xu Long fires a shot and moves on to a new location; he kills someone and then changes his face.
The ninjas of Fusang Country were incredibly unlucky; they were just sitting quietly at home when they inexplicably became Xu Long's experience points.
The most frustrating thing is that, to this day, they still don't know who Xu Long is or why he wanted to kill them.
And later on, they didn't even know what Xu Long looked like.
The entire martial arts Fusang Country was filled with unease, seeing everyone as Xu Long and being on guard at all times.
This is all thanks to the abilities of Zhu Wushi, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis; only he could extend his reach here.
They helped Xu Long conceal his identity and secretly told Xu Long where the ninjas were gathering.
Of course, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis wouldn't say it to Xu Long so openly; he would do it in another way.
