Chapter 89

Yun Zelin was born incomplete and only had complete Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Regular Meridians after adjustments by the Ming Sect.

These things built up bit by bit after birth, although they could be used, were not as sturdy as the original ones.

Not to mention Li Miao's majestic true energy; even Lan Lechuan wouldn't have been able to withstand it!

Almost in an instant, Yun Zelin's six hand meridians—the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Small Intestine Meridian, Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, etc. —fell apart!

Not to mention that the masculine and majestic true energy, after destroying his arm meridians, suddenly became cold and sharp, constantly traveling upstream along his meridians.

It was precisely Li Miao using the magic of "Jiezi" to switch mental cultivation methods in an instant, changing the nature of his true energy, intending to put him to death.

The three yin meridians of the hand run from the chest to the hand; the three yang meridians of the hand run from the hand to the head.

The six yin and yang meridians of the hand, the yin meridians flow to the heart, and the yang meridians flow to the head.

If he were really attacked by this cold and sharp true energy into his heart meridians and head, Yun Zelin would really be finished!

Only a "chi" sound was heard!

An arm fell to the ground.

Looking at Yun Zelin again, he had already escaped far away, tapping his shoulder repeatedly to stop the bleeding.

After cutting off his tail to survive, Yun Zelin's already old appearance aged again, and even his teeth began to fall out on their own.

He raised his head and looked at Li Miao in a breakdown: "What on earth are you practicing!?"

Zuo Lishan had said this, Lan Lechuan had said this, and now it was Yun Zelin's turn.

Li Miao possessed three paths beyond the peak, but none of them were cultivated to perfection, avoiding the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man," which in itself was unreasonable. It's just that Yun Zelin felt that Li Miao, as his opponent in destiny, should be extraordinary, so he wasn't too surprised.

Yun Zelin and Li Miao were both one with the three paths; Li Miao was incomplete, and Yun Zelin was not upright. If we really talk about it, Yun Zelin was actually stronger.

Li Miao had voluntarily perfected "Jin Gang" to fight Yun Zelin, and already had signs of the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man"; his hair turning white was proof.

If two paths were perfected, Li Miao wouldn't be able to withstand it either.

But Yun Zelin never expected that Li Miao could also "retreat" from a realm that had already been perfected!

In other words, Li Miao's claim of perfecting "Jin Gang" to suppress him and falling into the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" was also fake. After fighting him, he could retreat from the realm again and continue to be his lively "three paths incomplete."

What the hell is this!?

Li Miao raised his foot and stomped down hard.

Bang—

Yun Zelin's severed arm was stomped into a puddle of meat paste.

Only then did he say lightly: "Didn't you just say that this world is full of mediocre people, and only I am walking on the right path?"

"Since it's the right path, it's naturally different from your evil path; isn't that common sense?"

At this moment, Yun Zelin had slowly calmed down, but hearing this sentence from Li Miao, he gritted his teeth and said.

"No, you are the evil path, and an extraordinary evil path at that!"

"Once the water is spilled, it cannot be recovered. From the moment you master 'Jin Gang', your muscles and bones are already different from ordinary people. Otherwise, how could you use flesh and blood to resist swords and weapons!"

"This is not true energy, not mental cultivation; it is something real that cannot be changed!"

For a moment, Yun Zelin seemed to understand something.

"That's it, that's it! Your extraordinary root bone also came from this!"

"Good, good!"

"I wanted to study your corpse and imitate your meridians! But if you have this method... even better!"

A look of ecstasy appeared on Yun Zelin's face.

"Then you have to be able to beat me."

Li Miao beckoned to him.

"Come, third round."

Yun Zelin suddenly realized.

That's right, just now, in order to compete with Li Miao in internal energy, he stimulated the vitality of the Gu insect, which also advanced the process of the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man."

Not to mention that six of his regular meridians were destroyed by Li Miao, and he lost an arm. Now he was at the end of his rope, while Li Miao had perfected "Sumeru," his consumed true energy was full, and even the injuries on his body had all disappeared.

Li Miao was not damaged at all, while Yun Zelin could no longer hold on.

In another cup of tea's time, he would die of old age himself.

If he wanted to live, he had to kill Li Miao within this cup of tea's time.

A cup of tea refers to the time it takes to pour tea into a cup and wait for the temperature to cool down to a drinkable level.

In Li Miao's previous life, that is—five minutes.

Within five minutes, decide life and death.

The first minute.

Yun Zelin suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, which fell to the ground and rose in wisps of white smoke. But the momentum around his body suddenly became sharp.

He stimulated all the vitality of the two Gu insects he obtained from Zuo Lishan and Lan Lechuan.

He was going to risk his life.

"Profound Heaven Finger"!

Sharp true energy shot out, and Yun Zelin followed closely behind, arriving in front of Li Miao together.

Li Miao dodged sideways, only a step away from Yun Zelin.

Yun Zelin's palm blade cut diagonally, and "One Blade" slashed toward Li Miao.

Li Miao raised one leg high and dropped it suddenly, countering with "One Axe" from the "Iron Punishment War Post"!

"Iron Punishment War Post" is the inheritance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; the so-called "One Blade, One Axe, One Hook, One Cannon" are not weapons, but palm blades, leg axes, claw hooks, and cannon punches.

Palm and leg collided, clanging loudly.

Yun Zelin suddenly changed his move, curled his fingers into claws, hooked Li Miao's knee, and cold true energy penetrated his body, intending to cripple this leg of Li Miao's.

Li Miao's "Jin Gang" was no longer perfect, no longer unbreakable!

Li Miao's right hand struck Yun Zelin's temple horizontally; it was the Shaolin "Heart-Intention Handle," attacking the enemy where they must save.

Yun Zelin had no choice but to let go, retreat a step to dodge the fist, turn his body, and smash his elbow toward Li Miao's chest.

Li Miao's left hand pushed upward with his palm, combining hardness and softness, wiping away this attack with the Taiji Entangling Hand.

Rip! —

The sound of cloth tearing sounded instantly, but it was Li Miao's left palm wiping away Yun Zelin's elbow strike; before it landed, his right fist drilled out, its speed directly tearing the cuff.

Yun Zelin only had one arm, and his figure was unstable. His stance was also led astray by Li Miao's Taiji Entangling Hand; facing the right fist that had already arrived in front of him, he only had time to tilt his head slightly.

Splash—

Blood splashed out, and looking at the two again.

Li Miao's right fist grazed Yun Zelin's face, and majestic true energy erupted instantly, actually scraping off all the flesh and blood on Yun Zelin's entire left face.

At this moment, Yun Zelin's entire left face had revealed white bones.

Above the peak, "Jin Gang" focuses on defense, "Jiezi" focuses on change, and "Sumeru" focuses on attack.

Li Miao's "Sumeru" was perfect at this moment, and his true energy was as vast as the sea in every move. If that strike just now had landed, Yun Zelin would definitely have died on the spot.

Even if it just grazed him, Yun Zelin was scraped into half a skull.

In an instant, Yun Zelin's only remaining left hand raised and climbed onto Li Miao's right fist.

He used a grappling technique, locking tightly with Li Miao's right arm.

But, he used one arm to lock Li Miao's right hand, but Li Miao still had a left hand free.

Li Miao's left hand suddenly joined his fingers into a blade, and "One Blade" fell instantly, cutting into Yun Zelin's right shoulder, incomparably sharp!

It split Yun Zelin's right half of his body all the way to his lungs!

At this moment, the first minute had just passed.
