Chapter 90: One Move

In this world, no one could survive such injuries.

Even if modified by Gu insects, even if it was "Jin Gang," even if there was a method for flesh and blood regeneration, it was certain death.

This "One Blade" of Li Miao's shattered Yun Zelin's collarbone, shoulder blade, and split Yun Zelin's entire right lung.

Half of his chest tilted sideways, blood gushed out, and his heart and wriggling internal organs were all exposed to the air.

Was Yun Zelin crazy?

He only had one left hand, which locked Li Miao's right hand, which was equivalent to exposing his entire body to Li Miao's left hand.

Yun Zelin had superior comprehension; unlike Li Miao, his "Jiezi" was earned step by step. When it came to understanding moves, he was stronger than Li Miao.

Then why would he make such a low-level mistake?

Suffering such heavy injuries, although Yun Zelin was modified by Gu insects and was tougher than ordinary people, he only had one minute of life left.

Just at this moment!

Yun Zelin's heart, exposed to the air and covered in proliferating flesh, suddenly swelled. Li Miao even heard that heart faintly emit a miserable scream.

This was the heart he got from Zuo Lishan, the one that gave Yun Zelin "Jin Gang."

After swelling, it was as if it were a water bag stretched to the limit.

*Peng!!! *

It exploded.

Countless red-thread-like Gu insects fell into Yun Zelin's body.

The Gu insects fell into Yun Zelin's flesh and blood, and a metallic luster faintly appeared on his skin and flesh.

Immediately, Yun Zelin exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and the muscles on his split body clamped tight.

It actually clamped Li Miao's right hand inside his body. And Li Miao pulled his right arm, but couldn't break free for a moment.

Yun Zelin's face, half flesh and half skull, revealed a mad smile.

He won the bet; Li Miao really used "One Blade"!

Even if he cultivated "Jiezi," Li Miao was still a person, and would subconsciously use the martial arts he was most familiar with and most comfortable with.

Before Li Miao cultivated "Jiezi," he had already been an official in the Embroidered Uniform Guard for many years; the martial arts he was most comfortable with were naturally the Embroidered Uniform Guard's "Iron Punishment War Post."

With Yun Zelin's comprehension, he obviously saw this point; this flaw was deliberately left for Li Miao.

Seeing Yun Zelin smile, he opened his fishy, blood-filled mouth and bit Li Miao's shoulder!

Li Miao had already dispersed "Jin Gang," and Yun Zelin, having self-detonated his Gu insects, although dying, his body was stronger than Li Miao's in this moment before death!

This bite bit solidly into the flesh.

Blood splashed.

Li Miao suddenly pulled out his right hand and struck Yun Zelin away with a "Great Nine Heavens Palm."

In mid-air, Yun Zelin could no longer suppress the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man."

His hair fell out, his teeth fell out, and his flesh withered.

The half of his chest split by Li Miao could no longer be contained, left Yun Zelin's body, and splashed on the ground.

Hair and blood danced, and Yun Zelin's broken body fell to the ground.

Li Miao touched the wound on his shoulder and put his hand in front of his eyes; the blood on it was pitch black.

Gu poison; Yun Zelin's bite had injected the Gu poison in his body into Li Miao's body.

Li Miao looked at Yun Zelin, who was lying on the ground, gasping his last breaths.

"Heh... hehe..."

"Lord Li, this move, I won..."

Yun Zelin's teeth had already fallen out, and he said in a low, slurred voice.

Li Miao walked slowly to Yun Zelin's side.

"You want to trade lives?"

Yun Zelin laughed in a low voice.

"Always... have to try..."

Li Miao's body suddenly turned bright red, white smoke rose from the wound on his shoulder, and a stream of black blood flowed out, then gradually healed.

"I have a foster daughter who also plays with Gu. When I collected Miao Border witchcraft methods for her, I would also take a look myself."

"If Ji Tianrui can play with it, I can too."

"Wanting to kill me with Gu poison, you're still too young."

Yun Zelin let out a long breath.

"Ha—as expected..."

"But I ultimately, won you by one move..."

"I, am not a mediocre person..."

"Lord Li, remember, this year, this day... on Mount Taishan, Yun Zelin won you by one move..."

After saying these words, Yun Zelin could no longer support himself, and blood water surged into his trachea.

"Be careful... Ji Tianrui..."

Finally, he whispered the last sentence.

All sound ceased.

He was dead.

From the moment Li Miao dropped his realm at will, he had already understood that he couldn't win.

This trip of his was a desperate gamble. It was to bet that before the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" erupted, he could kill Li Miao, supplement his aptitude, and seek to break through the barrier after these three paths combined.

His preparations were not incomplete; first, he forced Li Miao to have to fight the Ming Sect to the death, and he himself risked his life, possessing three paths above the Peak Realm. There was no one else in the world who could survive these calculations.

Unfortunately, the opponent he chose was Li Miao.

Li Miao was incomplete, he was not upright, and the two were evenly matched. After Li Miao perfected one path, he was even suppressing him.

Yun Zelin could only hope for the accumulation of Li Miao's injuries and the flaws he accidentally revealed.

But Li Miao's Wu Gong exceeded his cognition.

True energy gone, Li Miao could switch to cultivating "Sumeru." Body injured, Li Miao could switch to cultivating "Jin Gang."

If he fell into a disadvantage in moves, Li Miao could probably switch to cultivating "Jiezi."

Even for the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man," Li Miao could drop his realm to avoid it.

He knew that he couldn't kill Li Miao before the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" erupted.

So, he made a choice—he wanted to prove something before he died.

Yun Zelin used his life to trade for the victory of this move.

He was not a mediocre person.

Li Miao scanned Yun Zelin's corpse up and down and said: "Not bad."

Having said that, he struck a "Great Nine Heavens Palm," turning the corpse below his head into meat paste.

The Ming Sect had probably been studying Gu insects all these years and had already played out all the tricks.

Li Miao wouldn't leave his corpse, to prevent the Gu insects in his internal organs from having any more tricks.

Although Li Miao admitted that Yun Zelin was an opponent, because of the dirty things he did, Li Miao wouldn't let him leave a whole corpse or be buried in peace.

Yun Zelin's head was swept by the palm wind, rolled for a distance on the ground, and stopped.

Li Miao didn't care, turned and walked for a distance, dragged a chair out of the ruins of the Mount Taishan Sect's main hall, and sat down in the center of the square.

Yun Zelin's head was unbearable to look at, half flesh and half skull, and at this moment, the only remaining eye was facing Li Miao.

Li Miao looked at that head and smiled.

"You wanted so much to walk on the right path, now take a look."

Having said that, Li Miao closed his eyes.

Thus, the Mount Taishan Sect's errand came to an end.

At present, Li Miao was going to collect his "salary."

*Sha—sha—*

On the ruins around, smoke and dust rose without wind.

The small stones on the ground kept shaking.

Li Miao's gray hair gradually recovered, and the perfect "Sumeru" gradually dissipated.

He placed his hands on the armrests, leaning on the chair, as if he had already fallen asleep.
