Chapter 574: Battle Line

In the Jizhao illusion, the sounds of roaring, splashing flesh, and weapons breaking the wind overlapped and were torn into bizarre whimpers by the sonic booms.

In the center of the battle, a white sonic boom ring lifted a massive amount of sand into the air, and then the surrounding air rolled back toward the center of the battle, which had been squeezed into a vacuum, bringing the sand lifted into the air back with a *swish*.

Li Miao's eyes were tightly closed, his fists almost dancing into a blur, as if without any pattern, attacking wildly only toward the front.

Five Paths Unified, only one step away from the perfection of the Heaven-Man Realm. In this fight, Li Miao finally caught a glimpse of the characteristics of a battle between perfected Heaven-Man experts.

First, there were no gaps.

There was no time to adjust one's breath; the gap between breaths was enough to fill dozens of moves, which was a fatal flaw for either side. Every move was a life-and-death move that squeezed oxygen out of the bone marrow; even if the eyes were bloodshot and the brain was throbbing, there could not be a moment of rest.

Second, vision was useless.

It was not that the reaction could not keep up or one could not see clearly, but that the martial arts battles of the Great Ming were inherently strong in offense and weak in defense, and this had not eased in the Heaven-Man Realm. The sand, sonic booms, and aftermath of the moves raised in the battle were enough to obscure vision or even directly pierce fragile eyeballs.

The reason both sides in the battle were attacking wildly without any pattern lay in these two points. Under the premise that vision was almost ineffective, if one did not use attacks to fill all the gaps, one would be penetrated by the opponent's attacks; it looked like a wild attack, but it was actually more for defense.

And besides defense, this wild attack had another use—Li Miao's ears suddenly moved, his mouth hooked, and his protective true energy suddenly exploded, clearing the sand on his front left.

Then his eyes suddenly opened!

A flaw!

Under the premise that vision was obscured, the only senses one could rely on were hearing and touch. The reason for the continuous wild attack was to use the sonic booms raised by one's own side to test the opponent's posture, while tearing apart the sonic booms launched by the opponent to hide one's own flaws.

And Susanoo was ultimately dull-witted; in the exchange of over a hundred moves, he revealed a flaw!

Following the path opened by the protective true energy, the Kusanagi Sword Susanoo held across his chest was revealed—he also realized the flaw, and he returned to defend and compensate in the first instant.

But in this battle, "not attacking" itself was a flaw!

*Clang! *

Li Miao's fist smashed heavily onto the body of the Kusanagi Sword, the massive force knocking Susanoo back half a step, his stance slightly loose. Before he could reorganize his stance, another fist smashed onto the sword spine!

*Clang, clang, clang, clang! *

Li Miao advanced and attacked wildly!

Susanoo retreated step by step!

In just one breath, the rain of heavy fists knocked Susanoo back several zhang! The Kusanagi Sword pressed bit by bit toward Susanoo's chest; it looked like in three more punches, it would stick to his skin and flesh!

*Clang! *

The first punch, Susanoo roared, raised his foot to drill under Li Miao's crotch, but before it was fully raised, Li Miao's whip kick came from the side, kicking the force of this kick off-course!

"Strength is good, but the brain is bad!"

"A fake god gathered from flesh and blood, the fighting experience is too little, and the moves are a mess!"

*Clang! *

The second punch, Susanoo's eyes flashed, but he did not try to block Li Miao's heavy punch again; instead, he took the initiative to stick the Kusanagi Sword to his chest, while his feet exerted force, using the aftermath of Li Miao's punch to accelerate and fly backward!

Li Miao's eyes lit up, and he laughed as he advanced to pursue.

"Finally, you have some brains!"

Susanoo's retreat was not without purpose; he had found the best way to resolve Li Miao's moves—distance!

The fake body Li Miao was using to fight him now was gathered from the Jizhao illusion and protective true energy, and it could not leave the main body more than ten zhang away. Li Miao's several heavy punches just now had knocked him back several zhang; as long as he exited this range, Li Miao could no longer pursue!

The third punch.

Li Miao smashed down with a punch!

The ten-zhang limit was only one step away!

Susanoo's eyes flashed again, and then he actually raised his hand and smashed the Kusanagi Sword at Li Miao!

He directly abandoned this legendary divine artifact of his! And by doing this, he also directly exited beyond ten zhang! ===== CHAPTER 575 =====
