Chapter 372 - 372 Enough to Kill You (2)
372 Enough to Kill You (2)
No one knew how strong he would be after undergoing two transformations in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Perhaps he could really be on par with the most terrifying cultivators out there!
His brows creased inexplicably. Clearly, this unforeseen event was beyond his expectations. He already had a countermeasure against Gu Chi. However, if another powerhouse from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain popped out, then it would be hard to predict what the outcome of the matter would be.
“If I were to directly attack now…” A strange look flashed in his eyes. However, his gaze focused a second later. He looked at the center of the battlefield and shook his head gently.
“It’s too late. Forget it. It does not matter if he’s transformed three times. I have never lost a single battle so far. I’ll be fine.”
At the same time, in the center of the Saint Cultivation Platform, a figure bathed in golden light was finally reborn.
He was tall and slender, and his hair was as black as ink. His injured arm was completely unharmed, and his aura was terrifyingly powerful. Thick spiritual light gathered in his eyes, containing a sharp and vigorous cultivation aura.
“You actually allowed me to complete my transformation. I don’t know whether you’re just confident or ridiculously stupid.” Can Zhuo’s eyes were calm as he slowly spoke.
“If I were to attack during your transformation, it is likely that you’d have directly borrowed the transformation energy to siphon my strength and even vitality, helping your new body become stronger,” Jiang Ming stood with his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile.
Can Zhuo’s expression changed slightly, and his pupils suddenly constricted. He stared at Jiang Ming and shouted sternly, “Who exactly are you?”
The others were baffled. What energy? What were these two talking about?
Only Huai Mei, Mo Feng, and a few other people had a look of bewilderment in their eyes. What was going on? How did Zhang Shan actually have an understanding of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain’s secret technique?
Moreover, judging from Can Zhuo’s expression, he did not seem to be faking it. He was clearly extremely shocked. This further proved that Zhang Shan definitely had a deep understanding of the secret technique of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain.
Jiang Ming laughed and said, “You can scare others. However, you can’t scare me. Your so-called life-or-death transformation is actually just the transformation of your flesh and bones. As for your spiritual core and the others, they have remained unchanged. It’s just that you experienced cleansing and tempering of your body during the transformation. This is a trump card that stops you from dying. However, it is also your greatest weakness. Your new body is actually not perfect! It is much less experienced!” Jiang Ming explained.
Although he had never cultivated the Spirit Silkworm Mountain’s secret technique, he had cultivated the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body and his spiritual energy. Thus, he could see the truth behind this secret technique.
After the initial shock, Jiang Ming did not think much of it. It was just a knock-off of his technique. It was also very flawed.
“Enough, shut up!” Can Zhuo’s expression changed drastically as he roared.
He was no longer as calm as before. He charged at Jiang Ming.
“This is the flaw of the Nine Transformations of the Spirit Silkworm, huh?” Mo Feng, the genius of the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven, and the others were all surprised, and their hearts were filled with trepidation.
The Spirit Silkworm Mountain was considered a rather unique sect in the Feather Kingdom. Although it was squarely in the middle of the major forces in terms of strength, one or two terrifying powerhouses would always jump out during the great tribulation.
Sometimes, even the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven was afraid of these powerhouses.
Therefore, how did an individual cultivator like Zhang Shan know so much?
Outside the battlefield, the geniuses from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, who were watching the battle, had already turned gloomy, not knowing what to do.
“What?” Can Zhuo stared blankly at the palm that had blocked his most powerful attack.
His eyes were filled with intense disbelief. How could someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm use their physical body to block his punch?
Jiang Ming pushed his palm and activated the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body. The glaring blood Qi swept out, and it was as if the might of the heavens had descended. It hit Can Zhuo until he spat out blood and flew backward. He fell far away from the Saint Cultivation Platform.
“Who is this guy?” The starlight in Fang Yue’s eyes fluctuated rapidly, and he could not understand the situation at all.
“Interesting…” Gu Chi, the Holy Son of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, finally showed interest in the battle. “Zhang Shan seems to be more powerful than I thought.”
In the center of the Saint Cultivation Platform, Can Zhuo stared at Jiang Ming in horror.
He could not be blamed for this. After all, he had been told he had cultivated the most powerful technique of his sect.
However, he would never have imagined that his attack would be blocked so easily.
“You’re not at the Foundation Establishment Realm… No, you’re not even human!” Can Zhuo stared at the figure that was slowly walking over in front of him in shock and horror as he babbled incoherently.
“Do you think the Spirit Silkworm Mountain’s cultivation technique is unique?” Jiang Ming’s tone was mocking.
Everyone was shocked.
“What?” Can Zhuo’s pupils constricted. “No… That’s impossible! Master once said that the Nine Transformations of the Spirit Silkworm is a unique cultivation technique.”
Mo Feng and the others also looked at Jiang Ming with sharp eyes. What did he mean? Had he also cultivated that technique?
“Or has he cultivated a similar technique?” Gu Chi’s eyes narrowed. He was getting more and more interested in Zhang Shan.
Even though he came from a blessed land of immortal cultivation, some ancient secret techniques were still important to him. If he combined them with his own Saint Realm techniques, he would be shockingly powerful.
Suddenly, Can Zhuo stared at Jiang Ming, who was gradually approaching him. Looking at the surging blood Qi on his body and the great cultivation runes surrounding him, he seemed to remember something. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He asked in surprise, “Do you have a sacred body?”
“Sacred body?” His words attracted everyone’s attention, and they all p.r.i.c.ked up their ears.
Jiang Ming’s heart jumped. However, he stared at Can Zhuo and did not speak immediately.
He could feel that Can Zhuo’s tone was not certain, and he even sounded like he was testing the waters. This meant that he did not know much about the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body. However, the fact that he could say the words “sacred body” meant that the Nine Transformations of the Spirit Silkworm was indeed related to the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body.
“However, it seems that he doesn’t know much. In that case. There’s no need to ask him any more questions!” Jiang Ming thought.
He looked back at Can Zhuo and did not say anything else. Blood Qi gathered between his palms, and terrifying energy swirled around him. It intertwined with the spiritual light, making him look demonic.
“What?” Can Zhuo coughed out blood from the corner of his mouth. However, he still said in disbelief, “The secret technique says that the path leading to a sacred body is a dead end. How can you…?”
Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed as he said indifferently, “You don’t need to know whether the path to the sacred body leads to a dead end or not. At the very least, it’s enough to kill you!”
The sword he made out of blood Qi shot out, piercing through the layers of fog, directly cutting his body into two.
