Or were there other methods of treatment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo did not know, nor did he have time to find out; right now, the most important thing was to kill Ouyang Lie—or he would die here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, Ouyang Lie is far stronger than I anticipated—he shattered the mist with a single punch. Using the mist for a war of attrition has completely failed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now he’s completely silent, not continuing to shatter the mist—is he exhausted? Recovering his Qi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably. My combat power shouldn’t be weaker than a typical Martial General of the Ninth Layer, yet I couldn’t shatter the mist with one punch—he could. That punch must have consumed immense energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course—he came here with the intent to kill me in one or two moves. He would have unleashed his full strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, he’s currently recovering his Qi—should I have Erha launch a surprise attack?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—he still has reserves. Sending Erha in prematurely would only invite death and expose my position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should I do? I can’t afford to wait—once he fully recovers his Qi and shatters the mist again, I have virtually no chance of winning...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s mind raced, analyzing Ouyang Lie’s combat power, assessing his own odds, and planning his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Lie’s strength had truly surpassed his expectations—at least thirty percent stronger than what he’d shown in the Technique Pavilion yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Cang Luo believed that using the mist for attrition, combined with his hidden “bomb,” gave him at least a ninety percent chance of victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, that odds had dropped to nearly zero...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful analysis, Cang Luo decided he could not afford to wait—he must strike before Ouyang Lie fully recovered his Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh... then it’s time to activate the ‘bomb’ early!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making his decision, Cang Luo called out deep within his consciousness and began merging his Qi, preparing his ultimate technique: Dragon-Slaying Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the mist, Ouyang Lie held his breath to recover his Qi, while Cang Luo channeled Dragon-Slaying Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the mutated Flame-Devouring Wolf, Erha, crept silently behind Ouyang Lie, exhaling faint white smoke to maintain the mist’s density, awaiting Cang Luo’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two humans and the beast remained utterly silent, each secretly preparing their deadly techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the mist, around Platform Five, the spectators could not see inside and heard no sound—none of them knew what to make of it; they had never witnessed a duel like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were the duelists doing? Why weren’t they attacking? Waiting for someone to succumb to heatstroke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had they not placed bets, they would have left long ago—who would stay under the blazing sun to watch a duel with no suspense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One spectator, bored, took on the role of commentator and chuckled: “Do you know what technique Ouyang Senior Brother used just now to shatter the mist and knock Cang Luo flying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What technique? Tiger Subduing Fist?” someone replied in jest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commentator scoffed immediately: “Pfft, Tiger Subduing Fist is only a Low-Grade Yellow Technique—how could Senior Brother Ouyang possibly use such a low-tier technique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, Tiger Subduing Fist is Earth and Wind affinity—it requires a corresponding affinity core technique to unleash its power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone knows Senior Brother Ouyang cultivates the High-Grade Mystery Five Thunder Yang Scripture, a Yang and Thunder affinity core technique—how could he possibly also cultivate Tiger Subduing Fist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if he had cultivated an Earth or Wind affinity core technique and learned Tiger Subduing Fist, the aura from that punch should have been earth-yellow or pale green.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the aura Ouyang Senior Brother condensed during that punch was crimson red—Yang affinity aura—so it absolutely couldn’t have been Tiger Subduing Fist...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s why! Senior Brother, you know so much—then what technique did Ouyang Senior Brother use?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Senior Brother, tell us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectators were eager; the amateur commentator, delighted, continued to boast: “The technique Senior Brother Ouyang just used is his own creation—called ‘Lie Tian Quan!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Self-created technique? Can Ouyang Senior Brother create techniques?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Ouyang is incredible! Then, what rank is this ‘Lie Tian Quan’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the commentator didn’t rush—he paused, then slowly declared: “Mystery Grade... ‘Lie Tian Quan’ is a Low-Grade Earth Technique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! Ouyang Senior Brother created a Low-Grade Earth Technique? That... even Elders can’t do that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A genius—no wonder he’s the most talented disciple in the Outer Sect...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd stared at the blinding white mist, their expressions filled with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, over a hundred members of the Lie Tian Bang heard the chatter and were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lie Tian Quan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Low-Grade Earth Technique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their boss had indeed created a technique—but it wasn’t finished, hadn’t even been named—how did they know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they’d even assigned a rank—were they Elders?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the commentator was clearly bluffing, using Ouyang Lie to show off his knowledge, the Lie Tian Bang members said nothing—they were, after all, praising their boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Yuanwu Continent, only those with at least Martial King cultivation could rate a technique’s rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Lie hadn’t named that punch because the technique was incomplete, and he planned to wait until entering the Inner Sect to have an Elder evaluate its rank and name it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, perhaps the Elder would be impressed and take him as a true disciple...\u003C\u002Fp>",1163,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","629b505312d36117efc2aa40f83eebbb7fcc70db461085cdb756dc989a700ac1","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-156","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-154",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
