Chapter 130: Ten Punches
It was not possible for a force like Martial Art True Intent to be completely shattered, unless the martial artist controlling it was dead.
As long as the martial artist did not die, no matter how many times it was shattered, it could reappear.
Of course, it was not that simple to repeatedly manifest Martial Art True Intent.
The reason was because every time it shattered, the martial artist’s mind, will, and spirit would suffer a heavy blow.
If the shattering were to happen multiple times, the person would collapse.
!!
Moreover, each time it re-manifests, the interval required would range from as long as one to two days to at least an hour.
This was related to the martial artist’s mental strength.
Those with strong mental power require short intervals, and the Martial Art True Intent would also last longer after being manifested.
Conversely, it would be weak.
Shi Zhinie’s Martial Art True Intent had only been shattered by Su Jingxing for less than ten minutes, yet it had re-manifested so quickly. It could be imagined just how much his mental strength had expanded.
For others, one instance of their Martial Art True Intent shattering and their minds, wills, and spirits would be severely damaged.
Shi Zhinie did not need to…
No, it was more accurate to say that in his Qi Deviation, he did not sense all that!
There was no pain, no fear, no rationality, only a crazed desire for blood.
In this state, Martial Art True Intent could naturally be retracted and released at will.
…
Roar!
The snarls of Shi Zhinie who charged out of the entrance of the base echoed through the forest.
The seemingly corporeal blood-colored wyrm once again unleashed a terrifying blood aura.
The invisible pressure crashed through the air, spreading out in all directions with Shi Zhinie at its center, extending over a hundred meters.
Whoosh!
Swoosh!
Li Linzhou, Yan Yuanfeng, Li Lilou, Zhou Wencen, and the others didn’t need to be reminded. They used their lightness skills and quickly moved away from Shi Zhinie.
Among them, Qi Xinjue, who rode a large leopard cat, was the fastest.
Without leaving behind any afterimages, only the sound of rushing wind could be heard as the man and beast shot out hundreds of meters away.
Compared to them, Su Jingxing was much simpler. He didn’t remain on the ground but charged straight into the air.
After executing the Eight Steps Rising Dragon, his entire body turned into a dragon-shaped trail and soared hundreds of meters into the sky.
Stopping in the air, he did not rest and directly circulated 100 years of his true energy cultivation into his right hand and began executing the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist.
From a high vantage point, he dived down, locking onto Shi Zhinie and punched out.
Boom!
An explosion louder than a sonic boom reverberated in all directions.
The silvery black fist imprint carrying a million catties of strength rushed towards Shi Zhinie under the acceleration of gravity.
Roar!
On the ground, Shi Zhinie seemed to sense something as he roared towards the sky. His scarlet eyes locked onto the fist imprint.
Bang!
The earth shook.
Countless cracks appeared beneath Shi Zhinie’s feet.
Shi Zhinie who had the blood-red wyrm wrapped around him didn’t dodge or show any fear. Rather, he directly faced the fist imprint and shot into the air.
A shockwave erupted, and dust flew everywhere.
Shi Zhinie, which had transformed into a blood-colored beam of light, carried a torrential sanguine suppression as he clashed with the descending fist imprint in midair.
Boom!
A heavy blast echoed through the sky.
Under the tearing of the Martial Art True Intent, the silvery-black fist imprint did not dissipate immediately. Instead, it collided with the blood-colored wyrm, causing it to flicker.
In the end, it shattered with a crash.
The shockwave produced swept through the air and ground.
In the sky, a vortex that was like a hurricane swept through all the cloud layers and spread out for over a kilometer.
On the ground, the trees on the entire mountain were rustling, lifting countless fallen leaves that danced wildly in the forest and flew everywhere.
Shi Zhinie was struck down by the ma.s.sive force the same way he charged into the sky.
The heavy force smashed into the ground, creating a deep pit about four to five meters deep.
Beyond its diameters of a dozen meters, long cracks that twisted sinisterly like pythons were seen.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Qi Xinjue, Li Linzhou, Li Lilou, and the rest who had retreated, returned as expected.
As Shi Zhinie stood up at the bottom of the pit and prepared to charge into the sky again, they released their true energy.
Sword energy, saber energy, palm imprints, fist imprints…
All sorts of attacks rained down on Shi Zhinie at once.
Shi Zhinie, who did not have any Martial Art True Intent protecting him, was sent staggering from the impact. He roared in anger. His already bare upper body was covered in lacerations and dripping with blood.
Clearly, his physical body had not been strengthened by the heretic art and was only as strong as it was before.
In the face of the joint attacks, he lost his ability to resist after a few moves.
But soon, a brand new blood-red wyrm appeared again, coiling around Shi Zhinie and releasing terrifying blood energy.
Swoosh!
Whoosh!
The party decisively retreated.
They dodged the terrifying pressure of the Martial Art True Intent.
In the air.
Su Jingxing stepped on air and also rose several hundred meters back up.
Then, he mobilized 100 years of cultivation again and sent another punch towards Shi Zhinie through the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The punch landed and the air exploded throughout the way.
The fist that carried a million catties of strength, under the boost of the acceleration of gravity, struck Shi Zhinie who had escaped the pit once again.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the blood-colored wyrm surrounding Shi Zhinie shattered and dissipated.
As for Shi Zhinie himself, he was knocked back into the pit by the remaining force of the punch, and fell more than a meter deeper than before.
The number of cracks at the edge of the pit doubled, becoming even more dense and numerous.
Swoosh!
Whoosh!
Li Linzhou, Qi Xinjue, Li Lilou, and the others swiftly rushed back.
Roar!
Shi Zhinie who had broken bones, torn flesh, and blood all over his body snarled as he rushed out from the pit.
However, before he could exert his strength, sword energy, saber energy, palm imprints, fist imprints…
Various attacks poured down onto his body once more, adding more wounds to his body and causing blood to spurt further.
Shi Zhinie who felt no pain roared again and again as the blood-colored wyrm manifested once more.
Swoosh!
Whoosh!
Li Linzhou, Yan Yuanfeng, Qi Xinjue, and the others saw this and continued to retreat.
By the time Shi Zhinie completely manifested the blood-red wyrm, Su Jingxing had already smashed his fist down.
It still contained a million catties of strength. Under the acceleration of gravity, it ruthlessly struck Shi Zhinie , shattering his Martial Art True Intent and throwing him back to the bottom of the pit, making it even deeper.
Roar!
Shi Zhinie roared and struggled out of the pit.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Li Linzhou and company quickly returned. Another wave of attacks sliced off one of Shi Zhinie’s legs and hands.
Once Shi Zhinie was about to manifest his Martial Art True Intent, the group would retreat in advance.
On the other hand, Su Jingxing, who was in the air, would circulate 100 years of cultivation to drop a punch.
Boom!
Roar!
…
Boom!
Roar!
…
One punch after another. Again and again.
In the state of Qi Deviation, Shi Zhinie endured a full ten times before he finally stopped breathing.
In the end, under Su Jingxing’s attacks, all that was left of his Martial Art True Intent was a silhouette.
Shi Zhinie himself had also been reduced to a human staff.
Only his remaining head and half of the upper body were connected.
