Chapter 80

Wang Hai and the others went up the mountain, and before they entered the gate of the Mount Taishan sect, they heard a roar from far away.

The three sect leaders instantly remembered the movement they heard from afar when Lan Lechuan and Li Miao fought that day.

However, judging from the distance of the sound, it was clearly more intense and terrifying than that day.

Deng Baixuan swallowed his saliva and said: "Everyone, let's not get involved, shall we?"

"We can't help with Battalion Commander Li's fight, and if we rush forward rashly and get involved, we will lose our lives in vain, which is very unwise."

Wang Hai nodded: "Let's wait here, and when the sound stops, we'll go see."

This wait was nearly half an hour.

Shock appeared on everyone's faces.

Do they not need to rest or recover their Qi?

Fights in the Jianghu are often decided within a dozen moves. Those who are evenly matched fight at most a few dozen moves, and the winner is decided.

Only those sparring matches with performance characteristics can fight for hundreds of moves.

Because martial arts may have no flaws, but people definitely do.

The simplest is that people must breathe; no matter how high the internal strength realm is, they must catch their breath. Every gap in catching one's breath is a chance to decide life and death.

And the stronger the opponent, the more effort one must put into each move, and the more true Qi is consumed. As true Qi decreases, the power of the moves becomes weaker, which is another point to decide the winner.

But the sound coming from far away was non-stop, and there was no sign of weakening at all; instead, it became more intense.

By now, it had become one piece.

Suddenly, the sound in front stopped.

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the sound over there.

————————

"Ha—ha—" Yun Zelin lowered his head, gasping for breath.

He didn't have much time left; in a while, he wouldn't need Li Miao to act, he would die of the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" himself.

He had actually been walking toward death for a long time, just using means to delay this process.

When Li Miao arrived, he had no reaction because he had stopped all his activities and fallen into a state of suspended animation. He didn't break out of that state until Li Miao arrived.

With this break, the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" also began to manifest on him.

"You, you don't want to live?" He shouted at Li Miao.

With the situation out of control and truly watching himself step into death, Yun Zelin could no longer maintain that polite attitude and began to call him "you" directly.

"I got your corpse, I can make up for my bone structure."

"You perfected 'Vajra', you also have to face the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man', just to kill me!?"

Opposite him, Li Miao looked at him with his arms crossed.

Li Miao's hair was now all white, draped down like silver threads. But his appearance showed no signs of aging.

"Don't flatter yourself, I'm not that cheap to trade my life for yours."

"However, do you have no other means?"

"Then I'm going to kill you." Li Miao said.

The perfect "Vajra," compared to the "Vajra" where Li Miao deliberately left flaws before, could not be mentioned in the same breath.

One could see it from the state of the two at this moment.

Yun Zelin was covered in wounds, slowly recovering at this time.

It was just that his appearance was no longer that of a young man, and fine wrinkles had climbed onto the corners of his eyes.

Li Miao only had some skin broken on his knuckles and a scratch on his face.

And these tiny wounds also disappeared in an instant, without leaving a trace.

"No... no, there's still a chance, there's still a chance!"

Yun Zelin thought in his heart.

"He only perfected 'Vajra', the other two paths are still the same!"

"My 'Sumeru' is perfect, but his true Qi is limited, it should have bottomed out by now!"

"Life and death are at stake, I can't consider the future anymore!"

Having decided, Yun Zelin actually dissipated the hard-body technique on his chest and reached out to cut into his own chest and abdomen!

"Oh? You have more tricks." Li Miao had no intention of stopping him.

"Heh... hehe." Yun Zelin smiled miserably.

He pulled his hand out abruptly and slowly clenched his fist.

After the previous fight, Li Miao's and his true Qi had both bottomed out.

Li Miao's "Sumeru" was incomplete, his "Sumeru" was not upright, they were half a catty to eight taels.

But at this moment, a surging and majestic true Qi suddenly erupted from Yun Zelin's body.

At the same time, his face aged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he became an old man on the verge of death.

His figure flashed.

As if the screen had switched, in an instant, Yun Zelin arrived in front of Li Miao.

A palm, carrying majestic true Qi, struck toward Li Miao.

Li Miao raised his palm to block, but was caught off guard by a suction force, and the arms of the two stuck together.

This palm of Yun Zelin was just a feint; the real killing move was the "Taiji Entangling Hand" he used on his hands!

The arms of the two crossed, and a majestic true Qi surged from the Yangchi acupoint into Li Miao's meridians.

"Oh, like that."

Li Miao was not surprised at all.

This was not a strange move, but Yun Zelin using it at this time was the most appropriate.

Speaking of which, it was just a common way of fighting in the Jianghu, where two people palm-fight and compare internal strength.

Just now, both of their true Qi had bottomed out, but Yun Zelin reached into his abdomen and forcibly catalyzed the vitality of the insect larva he had taken from Lan Lechuan, creating a surge of true Qi out of thin air.

The price for doing this was extremely high; even if Yun Zelin could win today, the insect larva would be damaged, and his "Sumeru," which he got from the insect larva, would also fall.

He himself got "Sumeru" through the evil path, and this damage would be hard to make up for, and even his lifespan would be damaged.

It was just that Yun Zelin couldn't care about that much anymore.

Only those who can survive have a future to talk about.

Using this way of fighting, moves and muscles were not important, and Li Miao's perfect "Vajra" would no longer be useful.

It just depends on whose true Qi is more!

Yun Zelin grinned: "Lord Li, how is it?"

"You look down on a mediocre person like me, but in the end, didn't I, this mediocre person, win?"

"I don't believe you dare to perfect 'Sumeru' as well; that way, under the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man', you will die faster!"

He was complacent and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although Li Miao was exceptionally troublesome, making him pay a huge price.

But with Li Miao's corpse, he could make up for his bone structure, and he could slowly find a way to solve the hidden dangers in the future.

After today, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and he is finally free!

Just as Yun Zelin was wandering in the future, Li Miao laughed.

"Heh..."

"Two paths perfected, it's indeed a bit reluctant. But, I don't have to have 'Vajra'."

Before his voice faded, Yun Zelin felt an incomparably huge true Qi surging along his meridians.

In an instant, it shattered his already weak meridians.

"You!"

Yun Zelin looked at Li Miao in horror: "You will only die—"

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Because he felt that Li Miao's perfect "Vajra," his incomparably tough muscles and bones, suddenly weakened.

Li Miao said softly: "Two paths won't work."

"Then I'll just retire 'Vajra' and re-cultivate 'Sumeru', won't I?"
