Thirty-Four: Victory Lies with Me!_1 Time reverted to ten breaths ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to Zhao Lang’s battle against the hound-masked fighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lang’s Dao techniques were endless and diverse, continuously constructing defenses and traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hound-masked fighter, however, relied on brute force to bulldoze through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shattered stone walls upon impact and tore apart ivy serpents when they confronted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply overwhelmed with his cultivation level, giving Zhao Lang not even a sliver of opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of response was undoubtedly sophisticated, especially as he simultaneously controlled the evil dog spirits to flank and besiege, cutting off Zhao Lang’s routes of escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a warrior who had battled on the edge of life and death for years could possess such a command of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a cunning opponent, Zhao Lang remained calm throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperation was useless, and fear was even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only composure could find the ever-diminishing speck of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immense pressure from a powerful enemy pushed him to utilize all he had learned to its utmost limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never released Dao techniques so quickly or with such precision and perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had no other choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment too slow or a single mistake could mean death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that would directly trigger the collapse of the entire City Guard Army’s battleground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absolute disparity in cultivation meant he had no margin for error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a cultivator, being stuck at the threshold of the Heaven and Earth Gate is an excruciating ordeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inability to see the Heaven and Earth Gate was enough to drive many cultivators mad every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lang’s strong mental fortitude had seen him through such difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he found it difficult to advance in realms, he focused on his techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every drop of sweat, he forged a different kind of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout Zhuang Country, from the academies to the military, he had nearly mastered all the basic Dao techniques available for study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was with these often overlooked basic techniques that he managed to hold his ground against a peak Ascending Dragon Realm expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he was at his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that he had reached his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complex and ever-changing repertoire of Dao techniques had always been his hallmark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having switched between Dao technique combinations in battles over the years, he knew his own situation better than the hound-masked fighter did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the intricate linkage of Dao techniques was adapted to, it practically signaled the end of the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by the hound-masked fighter’s increasingly leisurely onslaught, that moment was swiftly approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Zhao Lang’s expression remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he had was calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the soul of the vicious dog tearing towards him, facing the hound-masked fighter who was closing in rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lang cradled his right hand with his left, only extending the pinky of his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then squatting down, he touched the ground with that pinky finger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang, bang, bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the rumbling spread of the catastrophe, stone walls extended crisscrossed, isolating the hound-masked fighter and the evil dog spirits from each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Dao technique of his own invention—the Stone Wall Labyrinth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already set up nodes in the previous battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Triggered suddenly, it instantly divided the battlefield and dissipated a potentially lethal crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not a bad technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you were left to grow, you might become a threat someday,” the hound-masked fighter’s voice was hoarse as he spoke, “But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you are too weak now!”As the sound of his voice fell, the hand gesture completed, he suddenly opened his mouth wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”A soul dog with eyes as black as ink leaped out from behind him, as if tearing through the boundaries of yin and yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though small in size, it was mightily powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one charge, it shattered all the stone walls within its vicinity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the constraints of his cultivation, the stone walls were not sturdy enough, which was the biggest flaw of this Dao technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a battle against an equal, Zhao Lang could rely on quick replenishment to bring about changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against a powerhouse like the hound-masked fighter, he couldn’t replenish fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he never expected that this Dao technique would be able to trap a Soaring Dragon Realm expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the stone walls crumbled, the summoner of the nether dog, the hound-masked fighter, sharpened his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he couldn’t see Zhao Lang at all in his original position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lang had vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where could he be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hound-masked fighter sprang up, charging straight towards the continuously expanding fissure ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was convinced that Zhao Lang couldn’t have escaped from under his watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only possible hiding place was this fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take less than a breath for the hound-masked fighter to reach that fissure from his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To guard against surprise attacks, he slowed down his speed and heightened his alertness, taking up two breaths in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t willing to give this kid any chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the billowing magma in the gradually widening fissure, he indeed saw that slippery kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, several ivy serpents, biting each other’s tails, crossed the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lang, the Deputy General of the City Guard Army, stood on the body of an ivy serpent, his hand gestures already completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his target was actually the battlefield of Fang Dahu and the rat-bone masked fighter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless ivy serpents sprang up from beneath Fang Dahu’s feet, rapidly entwining to form a sturdy barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It blocked the ferocious strike from the rat-bone masked fighter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such command of the battle was nothing short of astonishing, inciting both admiration and anger from his adversaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeking death!” The hound-masked fighter flew into a rage, this insect-like kid dared to be distracted during their fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a blatant insult to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat-bone masked fighter was probably cooking up another scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hound-masked fighter surged with fury, his Path Origin tumultuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming force pushed away the approaching spirits of the evil dogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he leaped down from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magma beneath Zhao Lang’s feet was abruptly drawn up, surging madly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was undoubtedly his scorched earth tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhao Lang’s calm gaze, the hound-masked fighter suddenly felt a chill in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly didn’t want to perish together with Zhao Lang and immediately halted his descent, leaping out of the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before the magma burst out, Zhao Lang had already followed, landing on the other side of the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”The hound-masked fighter was not unprepared, as the nether dog had been accumulating power on the other side of the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it collided with Zhao Lang right as he emerged, biting off half of Zhao Lang’s thigh in one snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magma that had spewed up lost the support of Dao techniques and quickly fell back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hound-masked fighter had already crossed the fissure and closed in on Zhao Lang in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a squatting stance, he thrust his palm like a knife straight towards the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to pierce through his opponent’s heart and extinguish his vital force, he felt a faint fluctuation of Path Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dying kid…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he’s actually still using Dao Techniques!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the target…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’s not himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the dog-bone face suddenly turned around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in time to see that masterful Stone Wall Technique ensnaring the unsuspecting snake-bone-faced person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in time to see Wei Yan make a decisive move, throwing his knife forward in a thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial stone wall maze Zhao Lang created was not only to salvage the dire situation and divide the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also to obscure the vision of the mouse-bone-faced and snake-bone-faced people in the other two battle zones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t leap into the crevice to escape, but to seize the opportunity to intervene in the two other battle zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning, from the start, he knew he had no chance of defeating his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was still a possibility that with his precise grasp of the critical moment, he could create opportunities for the other two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing him, a mere Heavenly-Reaching Cultivator, the dog-bone-faced person wanted to complete the kill unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was his only room for maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he grasped it so fully, so perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the dog-bone-faced person rushed in front of the snake-bone-faced person to die in her place, he actually hadn’t thought of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, teetering on the brink of life and death, there was no time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Switch was purely a subconscious choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even begun to think before his body had already moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself didn’t understand what kind of emotion it was that choked his instinct to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the child lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his entire chest and abdomen had been pierced, he felt no pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last look he gave her was very gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because of the dog-bone-faced man’s self-sacrifice that the snake-bone-faced person had a narrow escape from death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had seen life and death aplenty, she had never been so enraged, so heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging Path Origin shattered the stone wall, and she flung herself at Wei Yan without reservation, this time fully prepared to risk her life in the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wei Yan, who had just been an overwhelming presence with killing intent sharp as a knife, didn’t hesitate to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was he trying to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another trap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wishing to strike back with a vengeance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake-bone-faced person, who had narrowly escaped death, was startled, and her feet involuntarily slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhao Lang, the unexpected appearance of his vine-snake binding wall perfectly blocked a fatal blow meant for Bearded Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to say “fatal” was not quite accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because with Bearded Fang’s injuries at the time, he should already have died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had more than one fatal wound on his body, yet he was somehow still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And was still fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that the mouse-bone-faced person couldn’t fathom what sustained him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vine-snake binding wall was nothing much; what concerned the mouse-bone-faced person was the significance it represented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the dog-bone-faced person unhappily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To allow an opponent who was just a Heavenly-Reaching Cultivator to free up a hand was unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleven was indeed getting worse the longer he lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought coldly, and with a casual punch, he blasted the vine-snake wall to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to advance, he suddenly felt a tightness around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bearded Fang embraced him in a very intimate hold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A struggle at death’s door!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mouse-bone-faced person flashed an expression of contempt in his mind, and a layer of black mist billowed from inside his body, forming a thin layer over his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Soul Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a close-combat situation, his first priority was naturally to ensure his safety, to prevent his opponent from any self-destructive tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bearded Fang’s burly arms just shook, and the last bit of Path Origin he had was poured into these two arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually given up on defense entirely to shatter the mouse-bone-faced person’s Soul Armor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mouse-bone-faced person had just thought of this question when he already heard the whistling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the sound of the Quick Snow Knife, carrying the coiled snake crest sword, hurtling towards him at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yan’s previous knife throw was not without thought, but a deliberate, conscious act of penetrating this battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bearded Fang, benefiting from Zhao Lang’s vine-snake binding wall, had hugged the mouse-bone-faced person and then shattered his defenses, bringing both of them onto Wei Yan’s Quick Snow Knife!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the sound of the long knife slicing into flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mouse-bone-faced person was coughing up blood, and he could feel Bearded Fang’s blood spraying on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could I be injured in such an advantageous situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is absurd…”He surged his Path Origin, ready to shake Bearded Fang off him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, a swiftly approaching figure had already landed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yan grasped the hilt of the Quick Snow knife, and his Path Origin roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish swish swish swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like an explosion of endless fine snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every speck of snow was a knife light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unending succession of knife lights exploded within the mouse-bone-faced person’s body, cutting him and Bearded Fang into innumerable pieces of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pieces of flesh fell, and blood floated down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to tell which chunks of flesh belonged to Bearded Fang and which to the mouse-bone-faced person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all happened so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake crest sword shot out, and was caught by the swiftly pursuing snake-bone-faced person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mouse-bone-faced person was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yan, holding his knife, turned around to face this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pieces of flesh and blood piled upon him, making him look like a malevolent spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was utterly unaware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only one opponent remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the final showdown in the City Guard Army camp.\u003C\u002Fp>",2195,"2026-06-03T09:48:22.239Z","2026-06-03T09:48:27.649Z",1,"novelbin.me","205d97f0cb35cb11c8892a211620a45278cc47411905c8936fc7d77401528eab","red-heart-patrols-the-sky-chapter-380","red-heart-patrols-the-sky-chapter-379",2464,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fred-heart-patrols-the-sky-cover.jpg"]
