Chapter 448

The giant was a bit stunned.

On one hand, it was the shock of being crushed head-on by brute force, and on the other hand, it was being stunned by Li Miao's sophistry and righteous words, only feeling that there were a thousand words stuck in his throat, but because he was not good at the Central Plains language, it was difficult to organize his language.

Just at this time, a scream suddenly came from not far away.

"Ah!"

It turned out to be a Wild Goose Hall disciple who survived and luckily retained the ability to act. After waking up from the dizziness, he saw corpses all over the ground, screamed, and crawled away.

Before he could escape a few steps, Li Miao raised his hand and pointed.

Bang!

Blood sprayed from his back, revealing a hole that was transparent from front to back. He lost his life while fleeing, his two legs ran a few steps according to inertia, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

After pointing this person to death, Li Miao drew a line in the void toward the ground again.

Clatter.

A true Qi of unknown length swept across at a height of half a foot from the ground, cutting all the human bodies lying on the ground together. Like a wave suddenly rising on flat ground, it splashed out with a clatter.

The screams and wails stopped abruptly.

The surroundings became completely silent.

Looking at the brutal scene, the giant was silent for a moment.

When Li Miao arrived at the mountain gate, he had already noticed Li Miao, but Li Miao had a look of watching from the sidelines, so he didn't care... By the time Li Miao blocked his blade, he only felt that Li Miao was observing the flaws on his body just now, and only made a move when he was sure.

That was why he said Li Miao was watching from the sidelines; his intention was actually to accuse Li Miao of hypocrisy, clearly watching him kill all along, but now wanting to block him.

But now, he finally understood.

This man was not here to save people.

His meaning was not "you shouldn't kill," but "you are not worthy to kill."

If he wanted to kill, it should be him.

Perhaps because Lu Guhong was his prey, perhaps because he wanted to interrogate Lu Guhong for information before killing him, anyway, Li Miao blocked him, not to save people.

And he had to bring Lu Guhong back to Japan.

"My lord, thank you."

The giant said hoarsely.

"Oh?"

Li Miao raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you for what?"

The giant said stiffly.

"Just now I couldn't control my move, thank you, my lord, for blocking me."

"This method, I am also using it for the first time."

During the conversation, his breathing became heavier.

With the sound of breathing, the patterns formed by the wrinkles on his body and face became clearer, and finally connected, like a relief.

At the same time, the giant's already huge body, like a balloon that had been inflated, expanded by another thirty percent, his upper clothes were torn, exposing his entire upper body.

"Whoa."

Li Miao narrowed his eyes with interest.

On the giant's exposed skin, the wrinkles actually outlined a clear and lifelike character image—eyes wide open, fangs exposed. Muscles knotted, right hand holding a wisdom sword, left hand holding a demon-binding rope. Surrounded by flames, curly hair dancing like snakes.

It was the image of Acala, the head of the Eight Great Wisdom Kings of the Esoteric Buddhism, the King of all Wisdom Kings, and the main deity of the Five Great Wisdom Kings.

The air the giant breathed out became hotter, rising from his mouth and nose, lingering and not dispersing.

He said.

"If facing the enemy head-on, I am not your opponent, my lord."

"But I must bring this person back to Fuso alive."

"So, thank you. But, excuse me!"

Crackle—

During the conversation, the giant suddenly exerted force and raised the naginata!

Whoosh!

The naginata cut through the air, pointing to the sky.

He actually raised the naginata from under Li Miao's feet!

Taking advantage of Li Miao's feet not yet landing on the ground, the giant didn't hesitate at all, and the naginata turned downward suddenly!

Boom!

The naginata hit the ground, and the blade shattered instantly!

At the same time, the ground for several zhang jumped up.

Amidst the flying bricks and stones, the giant's gaze swept across the surroundings.

After forcibly pushing this unfamiliar method to the peak, he finally captured Li Miao's figure—above!

The giant looked up, and Li Miao descended from the sky, a leg-axe smashing toward his head.

He suddenly raised the naginata shaft, which only had the shaft left, and blocked it over his head.

Clang!

With a loud bang, the naginata shaft forged from refined steel shattered.

But it also delayed Li Miao's leg-axe for an instant.

The giant pushed aside the two broken shaft pieces and smashed a fist toward Li Miao.

Fist and leg collided.

Another loud bang exploded, the giant's lower leg was smashed into the ground, and his mouth and nose overflowed with blood.

But Li Miao's leg-axe finally stopped on his arm.

Lu Guhong, on the side, looked at this side in shock.

Before, the giant could defeat him without any effort, which already made him unable to believe, but after all, he was from the Bright Cult and had a broad vision, so he could accept someone defeating him.

But now, the giant actually blocked Li Miao's move!

This was not someone else, it was Li Miao!

No one understood the terror of Ji Tianrui better than him, who was from the Bright Cult, but even Ji Tianrui had to plan carefully and avoid Li Miao's edge. And now, Li Miao's move was actually blocked by someone!

"Could it be that I can really live today?"

Lu Guhong's thoughts raced.

He naturally didn't want to die, but compared to death, he was more afraid of Li Miao's methods. Anyway, it was impossible to escape Li Miao's palm, so it was better to stretch his neck and be slaughtered, dying more quickly.

But now, the giant blocked Li Miao's move, which gave him some other ideas.

He heard what the giant said just now clearly. The giant didn't want to kill him, just wanted to bring him to Japan. If the giant really won, wouldn't he be able to live?

Live from Li Miao's hands!

This was something no one in the world had ever done, except for Ji Tianrui!

Lu Guhong gritted his teeth.

"Should I bet?"

"No, I must bet! Otherwise, when this giant is killed by Li Miao, I will really be dead for sure!"

Facing the enemy head-on, he would be killed by Li Miao in one encounter; this was beyond doubt.

But after all, he had practiced Profound Observation.

Although he hadn't practiced a life-cultivation path and hadn't connected to his own Profound Observation divine strangeness, the moment he practiced Profound Observation, he already knew what divine strangeness he was going to practice, and he could barely trigger some effects.

Lu Guhong didn't move, pressed his palms on the ground, and a strand of invisible true Qi left his body, floating toward Li Miao and the giant who were in a stalemate like a wisp of blue smoke.

"Fast! Fast!"

Lu Guhong desperately urged the true Qi to float, and finally sent the true Qi to Li Miao's side after a breath.

A look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he jumped up suddenly!

He stretched out his hand into a claw, pointing at Li Miao from afar.

"Freeze!"

The true Qi like smoke instantly took shape, like several shackles, suddenly locking Li Miao's entire body!

This was Lu Guhong's Profound Observation divine strangeness.

He called it 【Smoke Shackle】!

Even a Heavenly Human who had practiced two life-cultivation paths would find it difficult to break free for a while!

He knew this divine strangeness couldn't lock Li Miao, but all he wanted was a moment of delay!

As long as the giant took advantage of this moment to hurt Li Miao, it would be fine!

As long as he could hurt him, he might win!

If he might win, he might live!

"Do it!"

Lu Guhong suddenly roared.

Although the giant's moves were rough, he clearly didn't lack the experience of life-and-death fighting; it was impossible for him not to notice this opportunity! And life-and-death struggles, especially Heavenly Human struggles, always decided victory or defeat in an instant!

He held twelve thousand percent of expectation, looking at the giant and Li Miao.

But the giant didn't move.

He didn't even move his fingers.

Instead, Li Miao, who was locked in mid-air, glanced at Lu Guhong with a smile.

Lu Guhong's hair stood on end instantly, and he couldn't help but roar angrily.

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

The roar echoed continuously; even a deaf person should have heard it.
