Chapter 118 Sudden Ups and Downs in the Intense Battle
"Zzzt—"
Arc flash surged, and two silhouettes flickered into existence.
The doctor held a staff in hand, followed by a Yellow Turban Powerful Warrior, whose eyes beneath the hood swept over the scene before finally resting on Qi Changsheng's magic artifact and he praised, "What an evil weapon. It can exhaust all the power of a Seventh-Grade Practitioner within a short time, unleashing such devastating power that even a Seventh-Grade Demon Cultivator could be critically injured or even killed if caught off guard. With this weapon, how can we worry about big plans not succeeding?"
Qi Changsheng's magic artifact couldn't really be described as a 'creation that beats nature,' but its triumph lay in its speed.
Within a few breaths of time, it transformed all of the Seventh-Grade Practitioner's True Qi into a torrent of attacks, its frequency so rapid and its offensive so swift that it was difficult for anyone to defend against, leaving the doctor lurking in the dark no time to come to the rescue.
Three Transformation Snakes, raised from the corpses of fellow disciples, instantly lost one, and the remaining two were also seriously injured. If the fellow disciples had spirits that could observe from the heavens, it was hard to know what they would feel.
However, compared to the discovery, such losses seemed somewhat trivial.
An evil weapon capable of injuring those of the Seventh Rank, if mass-produced, would bring in benefits far exceeding a pile of corpses and a few Transformation Snakes. If there was no prior warning, this kind of weapon would leave those below the Seventh Rank dead or injured.
"Good Eye Power!"
Qi Changsheng gave a thumbs-up. "You've recognized the unique feature of my awe-inspiring Wisdom Gun at a glance, but if you think you have me all figured out, then I can only say—you're daydreaming."
Suddenly, Thunder Light flashed on the city wall, and the doctor immediately looked up, his palm revealing a Thunder Hammer.
"Boom!"
A Thunderbolt exploded from his palm, turning into an electric rope coiling towards the power-exhausted Qi Changsheng. But at the same moment, Thunder and Fire Sky struck, touching the electric rope and then suddenly disappearing, both vanishing in an instant, leaving only an echo in the air.
"Junior Brother, save me," called Qi Changsheng, but it was too late.
And at that moment, as the Thunder and Fire receded, a red shadow swept out.
"A master!"
The doctor stepped back while shouting loudly, "Where is the Powerful Warrior?"
Like a Stone Statue standing behind him, the Yellow Turban Powerful Warrior finally spoke as he swung his arm out in a punch, his Strength descending like a comet from the sky, as if a comet striking the earth, "The Powerful Warrior is here."
The heavy voice rang in their ears; fist collided with the red shadow, and the clanging sound of impact and sparks flying ensued. Jiang Li, wielding a long sword, countered the punch of the Yellow Turban Powerful Warrior, the formidable Strength traveling through the sword base, numbing Jiang Li's Tiger's Mouth.
This Yellow Turban Powerful Warrior, both in bodily constitution and in strength, was much stronger than the last one.
This physique and his Horizontal Training skills made none of the enemies Jiang Li had faced compare to the man before him.
But—
Every man had the same weakness.
In Jiang Li's eyes, snake shadows coiled as an Invisible Power shot straight toward three inches below the Yellow Turban Powerful Warrior's abdomen.
With his current Divine Origin Cultivation, the impact strength of his spiritual power once transformed was so formidable that, in this world, no one of the same Realm would be able to withstand it unless...
The impact hit the Yellow Turban Powerful Warrior below, making a muffled sound as if hitting solid rock.
Unless he didn't have one!
"Contracting the penis into the abdomen."
Jiang Li's discerning eyes were like burning torches, and with the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill, he immediately perceived the clues.
The Yellow Turban Warrior before him had remarkably attained the realm of contracting the penis into the abdomen, and his entire body now lacked any vulnerable spots.
Despite how awkward the name of this realm might sound, it was akin to the Horse Hidden Yin Formation depicted in the Buddha's Thirty-two Victorious Forms. For Body Refinement practitioners, it represented a threshold that, once crossed, could lead to true indestructibility.
Meanwhile, as the Yellow Turban Warrior's Fist Power thundered down, the Moving Mountain Warrior's Dao Fruit Ability "Powerful Five Mountains" was activated. Although not truly capable of lifting mountains, if the blow struck a person, it would surely feel no less than a mountain crashing down upon them.
His Fist Power was enough to pulverize the human body into minced flesh.
Harnessing the Dao Fruit Ability, the already formidable strength intensified, and Jiang Li's feet transmitted this Strength to the ground beneath him, which suddenly caved in flat, the earth pounded firmly into place.
He promptly stretched out his left hand, striking the face of the fist with his palm. His palm power rolled and twisted, not directly confronting but instead bending and flowing, causing the Yellow Turban Warrior's punching arm to slant and smash into the ground.
"Boom!"
The ferocious Fist Power caused the ground to quake, and dust billowed in all directions. With a flick of his finger, Jiang Li sent a pulse of True Qi out of his body, transforming into a Featherweight Talisman that adhered to the Yellow Turban Warrior. Simultaneously, a sword shadow suddenly appeared behind him—Gongsun Qingyue had found an opening and attempted to severed the spirit of the Yellow Turban Warrior with her Sword Intent.
However, the Doctor who had retreated behind the Warrior stretched out a hand and pressed two talismans onto the Yellow Turban Warrior's back. Immediately, a bright yellow glow appeared, and the Yellow Turban Warrior radiated a robust aura. No sooner had the Featherweight Talisman activated than it was expelled away, while the sword shadow that struck the top of the Warrior's head only emitted a clang as if it had struck metal.
"Do you really think that, like Cao Yuanlong, I am ignorant and lack the ability to even bless my own Daoist Soldier?" the Doctor's voice echoed leisurely. With the assistance of the talismans, the Yellow Turban Warrior's momentum became immense, and his earlier vulnerabilities were compensated. He lifted the ground with his fist that was buried, stirring up the earth in a radius of a yard with Jiang Li atop it, elevating him into the air as well.
"Thunder Duke, aid me."
The Doctor called out, and blazing Thunder Light struck toward Jiang Li, suspended in mid-air.
Two Transformation Snakes shot out, assaulting Gongsun Qingyue from both sides in an attempt to prevent her rescue.
At the city gates, Ren Zihe silently materialized behind the Yellow Turban Warrior, emitting Divine Light from his body. The suppressive force of the Divine Domain arrived first, while his body ignited with Flames, signaling the imminence of a powerful attack.
At that critical moment, faced with fierce onslaught and Ren Zihe and the Yellow Turban Warrior about to join forces in their attack, Jiang Li, while aloft, suddenly radiated golden light—not from the Sixth Ding and Sixth Jia Protection Talisman but rather from a Ninth Grade Bright Light Talisman.
"Sun Fist."
Like a bright sun in the night sky, he suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance, the blinding light piercing the eyes of all attackers and instantly rendering their vision white. Deprived of one of their senses, their Perception was greatly disrupted.
The long sword had transformed into a staff with a sharp tip. Using a Lightning Rod to guide the intense Thunder Light, high-voltage electricity zipped across the staff, leaving Jiang Li's hands with scorch marks, yet he still refused to let go, increasing the tyrannical power of the thunder.
Assuming the appearance of the Divine Farmer, he seemed both godlike and demonic. The Jade Seal dispelled the holy domain's suppression, and the thunder penetrated the weapon.
"Solemn Owl of the Three Gods, control the Kui Dragon,
Majestic Sword God, slay evil and obliterate tracks."
Mutting the Heavenly Banner Spell, his fierce electric power cut through the air, and with a sudden thunderclap on the flat ground, Thunder and Lightning shattered the earth and soil, striking directly into the body of the Yellow Turban Warrior. No amount of horizontal training or physique could fend off the power of thunder; the Thunder Hammer pierced from his shoulder, through his waist, and deep into the ground.
"Boom!"
Electricity flashed, and the thunderous power exploded, enveloping the Yellow Turban Warrior in electric arcs, shaking Jiang Li so violently that he was hurled into the air.
As for the Yellow Turban Warrior, he was ravaged by the Thunder Technique throughout his body, releasing a smell mingled with the scent of burnt flesh, nauseating to all who smelled it.
In that instant, Jiang Li went from being in grave danger to reversing his desperate situation. The Yellow Turban Warrior, dead!
