Who exactly is this guy?
Tian Heng struggled to defend himself. He couldn't see the newcomer's face, but his skills were like a storm, putting him under much more pressure than Ao Zhen. The last time he felt this much pressure was when he met Lu Ming when he was young.
Being ambushed in this environment, unable to regulate breathing, makes things even more difficult. However, it's not without a chance. He was too hasty earlier, focusing solely on finding Chen Qing, without considering that a master of this caliber would be targeting him. If he can break free and retreat to the rear of the army formation, he can proceed cautiously. With the advantage of the West Sea Army, even if he can't save Chen Qing, he won't lose himself!
Thinking of this, Tian Heng's anxious mood calmed down a little, and he calmly looked for an opportunity.
The opponent's attack speed was very fast, clearly intending to overwhelm him in one fell swoop, but he still didn't understand him.
If it were his former self, even if he had reached the Transcendent level, he would have had virtually no chance of turning the tide if he were forced into this situation. But now it's different; he is the God of the West Sea!
When Chen Qing brought Ao Zhen under his command, it wasn't just by providing him with a massive amount of Power of Faith. All of Ao Zhen's inherited combat skills were imprinted in his mind when Ao Zhen agreed to become a subordinate of the Sea God. In other words, like Chen Qing, he also mastered all of Ao Zhen's abilities.
Aquatic creatures have an advantage in combat: their breath control. Although dragons can take human form, some things remain unchanged, the most unchanged being their lung capacity. Even Transcendent warriors cannot stay underwater for more than a few hours at a time, but dragons are different. Although they breathe through their gills, aquatic creatures have an astonishingly large lung capacity, often able to sustain themselves for half a day with a single breath!
He retained this habit while practicing his Ao Zhen combat skills, which led to his habit of taking large breaths. Even though he was almost out of breath after being hit by a wave of attacks and forced to the point of being unable to breathe, he could easily hold on for another fifteen minutes without any problem.
It wasn't as hopeless as outsiders might think.
If he were to be entangled with by his opponent for another fifteen minutes, he would obviously have no chance. However, if he were willing to risk everything and try to break through, there was still a sliver of hope.
Tian Heng calmly waited for his opportunity. As each breath passed, he gradually calmed down, trying his best to find a sliver of chance amidst the opponent's stormy tactics.
Finally, just as the other party pointed a finger at his sternum, Tian Heng opened his mouth wide without hesitation, letting the other party's finger strike his chest. In that instant, he used the force of the other party's blow to spit out a mouthful of blood and was forced back ten feet away.
The opponent was also shrewd, keeping a close and persistent approach, giving Tian Heng no chance to catch his breath.
But this is exactly what Tian Heng has been waiting for!
Ao Zhen has dominated the West Sea for many years, with no rivals except for the West Sea Dragon King. Even top elders are inferior to her. Besides her powerful bloodline talent, her outstanding martial arts talent is also an important reason. She is willing to hone her martial arts skills among human martial artists, and her skills far surpass those of her peers, even surpassing many ancient elders. This is why she can make the West Sea Dragon King wary.
Among all of Ao Zhen's martial arts skills, there is one move with astonishing power, called: Startling Swan.
With the dragon race's wind magic talent, he compressed wind energy at a speed even faster than the Divine Wind. His blood and qi mixed with the compressed wind energy in his body, forming an ultra-fast blood circulation that synchronized with the compressed wind energy outside his body. Then, he unleashed a Startling Swan attack.
This move was incredibly powerful; it was a method she planned to use to assassinate the West Sea Dragon King in a desperate situation.
In terms of sheer power, it could even break through the Dragon King's defenses. It is the most domineering move among Ao Zhen's killing techniques, but it has never been used in actual combat.
Even though Tian Heng knew the method, this was the first time he had actually used it.
This move is extremely damaging to the meridians. Even a dragon with a body like that would need to recuperate for more than half a year after using it once. If one is not careful, the meridians may even twist or rupture, resulting in permanent disability.
This move can be harmful to both the user and the attacker, and should only be used as a last resort.
Tian Heng hadn't planned to, but given the current situation, if he didn't use it now, he might die here!
A resolute glint flashed in Tian Heng's eyes, and a gentle breeze swept through them. In the next instant, chaotic wind energy mixed with other elements gathered in front of him, and the aura within his body was also transformed into compressed wind energy and injected into his bloodstream under his control.
Although somewhat forced, this move was instantly formed thanks to Tian Heng's astonishing martial arts talent, and he thrust his spear at the enemy without warning!
The speed was so fast that Imperial Capital, watching from afar, was startled by the sight.
Tian Heng's sword strike was incredibly fast. He knew that if he hadn't been prepared, he would have had no chance of dodging it if the opponent had been within three feet of him.
This guy has this kind of trick up his sleeve?
Was it there before, or did it develop after she started dating Chen Qing?
If it's the latter, will Chen Qing also use this tactic?
The emperor glanced at the eye of the storm. Chen Qing's current location was unknown. If Chen Qing also knew this move, judging from his performance just now, he could probably kill anyone with this move!
However, based on his shrewd experience, Tian Heng's move must have been extremely taxing. If it weren't for that, Chen Qing would have used it earlier when dealing with the Ancient Demon's high priest. This move would probably damage his foundation. Even so, it still carries the risk of replacing someone else. If Chen Qing is not dead, he thinks he should take precautions.
After a moment's thought, he snapped out of it and looked at Tian Heng again. He was curious to know what the mysterious expert would do if he was seriously injured by this move. If he retreated, he might have to intervene.
A master of this caliber will definitely influence what I want to do next, and any potential threats should be eliminated when the opportunity arises!
But when he looked over, the scene made him pause slightly.
Tian Heng lost.
He was utterly defeated, his heart ripped out from his back, and his eyes lost all focus. Meanwhile, the mysterious expert had somehow appeared behind Tian Heng and pierced his chest with a single blow!
what happened?
The emperor was somewhat taken aback. He knew he couldn't have dodged that shot, so how could it have had no effect on the man at all?
"Did you see clearly?"
The emperor gazed at the shadows below.
He dodged it!
"He dodged it?" The emperor was still somewhat incredulous. It would have been easier to believe that the attack hadn't been powerful enough to injure the opponent, but he had actually dodged it?
How did they manage to dodge that speed?
"I don't understand it either." King Xiang frowned in the shadowy realm, because he felt he couldn't escape it. If he couldn't escape it, who was that shadowy figure?
And I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it felt like he had a premonition.
Divine Wind?
Tian Heng's eyes were glazed over. His chest had been pierced, leaving him powerless and bleeding profusely. In addition, he had used up all his energy in that move, leaving his brain in a state of oxygen deprivation. Almost the entire world was blurry in his eyes.
But he still clearly understood what had just happened.
He missed!
It's unbelievable, but that's how it is. He was confident that even if the West Sea Dragon King were here, he could still hit him with this move, but the truth is, he only hit an afterimage.
He could also clearly see the traces of that afterimage.
It's Divine Wind!
Murong Yunji's Divine Wind.
This guy knows Murong Yunji's Divine Wind and even predicted my move!
Otherwise, even if the opponent possessed the Divine Wind, they wouldn't be able to dodge my attack.
He knew all along that he would make this move!
