Chapter 463: Battle Ended

It was like a replay of the Battle of Nanjing.

The scene before Zheng Anqi Sheng's eyes suddenly blurred, and he was pulled down by an irresistible giant force beneath him.

He secretly thought it was bad, his Fish-Gut Sword dissipated, transforming into invisible protective true energy that spread rapidly behind him, attempting to form a defense before the attack arrived.

"Too slow!"

The fist tip drilled in before the protective true energy could merge, smashing fiercely onto Zheng Anqi Sheng's heart.

"Ugh! —"

Fresh blood overflowed from his mouth; Zheng Anqi Sheng finally transformed the Fish-Gut Sword into true energy armor covering his whole body. His left hand, the Lady Xu sword, suddenly transformed into a long whip and inserted into the pit wall, attempting to use the force of this punch to avoid Li Miao's attack and reorganize his form.

But before he could pull the long whip, his body had just been beaten a foot into the air when that fist suddenly opened, grabbed his leg again, and pulled him down violently.

*Bang! *

Another punch, and the true energy armor was teetering.

And then he was pulled down again!

The final punch, carrying a shrill sonic boom, smashed fiercely into the same spot!

*Bang! —Crash! *

The true energy armor shattered with a boom, and Zheng Anqi Sheng's eyes were about to split.

The problem exposed during the battle with Zhu Shoujing, the weakness of 【Ten Thousand Phenomena】 that should have disappeared after recovering to the perfection realm, was exposed again in the face of Li Miao's incomparable brute force—offense and defense could not be balanced.

Zheng Anqi Sheng's mind raced.

With the blessing of two paths of the Xuanlan realm, the current Li Miao was a monster.

The two were already in the same realm; wanting to kill him quickly was almost impossible, and one could only rely on the accumulation of injuries to gradually weaken the opponent. But the current Li Miao could use 【Ten Thousand Phenomena】 to make up for missing flesh, and at the same time, because of the existence of 【Base Strength】, the more flesh he was missing, the stronger his power became.

Unless Li Miao's true energy or flesh was exhausted, his offensive would never stop; it would only become heavier and more lethal! But after cultivating 【Ten Thousand Phenomena】, Li Miao's Sumeru realm had also been strengthened, and his total true energy and recovery speed were on a higher level; how could it be easily exhausted?

In a daze, Zheng Anqi Sheng seemed to see a Daoist priest.

Today's Li Miao gave him the feeling of that Daoist priest who founded Mount Wudang... even if the realm was the same, there was no way, no countermeasure, no power to resist!

"No!"

Zheng Anqi Sheng pulled the long whip and flashed to stick to the pit wall.

"Must find a way to break his methods... otherwise, I will surely lose today!"

He raised his vigilance to the highest level, scanned his surroundings, and with his hands joined and then separated, the Lady Xu sword was dismantled into two and held in his hands.

"Fish-Gut is useless against him, but true energy fragments are not. Although he can fully control himself, he has not expelled the true energy fragments, which means the true energy fragments still remain in his body! As long as enough quantity is accumulated, perhaps it can destroy the true energy structure in his body and cause the flesh composed of that true energy to collapse!"

As his mind raced, Zheng Anqi Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

A shadow projected from above onto his face.

Li Miao was above him!

Zheng Anqi Sheng didn't have time to look up; both swords stabbed upward simultaneously, colliding with the hand claws grabbing at his skull!

The sword tips stabbed into flesh, and were immediately blocked by hand bones.

Li Miao's five fingers closed violently, firmly grabbing the sword tips, and blood dripped down the sword tips onto Zheng Anqi Sheng's face.

"Let go!"

The hand claws twisted violently, and both swords were twisted together.

Zheng Anqi Sheng's palms were ground until they bled.

He gritted his teeth, grabbing the sword hilts tightly, refusing to let go.

But how could Li Miao spare him? Seeing he refused to let go, he simply grabbed the sword tips and smashed them fiercely into the pit wall!

Above the massive ruins of the Taihe Hall, a giant mound of earth suddenly rose, and an instant later it exploded, spraying a massive amount of soil, and two figures flashed out from within.

Li Miao grabbed Zheng Anqi Sheng and rushed into mid-air.

At this moment, Zheng Anqi Sheng finally had the opportunity to pull out his short swords and intersect gazes with Li Miao.

Snowflakes drifted down, and a crescent moon hung in the firmament.

In mid-air, the assassin from a thousand years ago and the imperial court's hawk-dog of today looked at each other.

And then, infinite killing moves unfolded instantly!

The loud sound of metal clashing, and as soon as the blood left the body, it was shattered into blood mist by the shockwaves of the battle, dyeing the snowflakes a scarlet red. ===== CHAPTER 464 =====
