#324 - The mediocre shooting skills won?
Amidst Liang Jin's layers upon layers of spear waves, Wang Zhi finally couldn't hold on.
Naturally, she was unwilling to give up, and immediately retracted her long sword sharply.
In an instant, the cold air that originally permeated the entire valley suddenly contracted, rapidly condensing on Wang Zhi's long sword.
Wang Zhi furiously swung her long sword, attempting to deliver a charged strike.
However.
The monstrous spear waves instantly changed!
The original overlapping giant waves transformed into countless spear rays in an instant, sweeping towards Wang Zhi.
This was precisely the Twenty Needles from the Prairie Fire Spear Technique!
This was a spear technique created specifically to target the acupoints of the human body, unpredictable and subtle, like embroidery needles, making it impossible to defend against.
Just as Wang Zhi was about to unleash her charged sword strike.
Several spear rays had already broken through her defenses and landed heavily on her body.
In an instant, several blood arrows spurted out from Wang Zhi's body.
And her charged strike instantly lost control.
"Bang! ! !"
A loud explosion resounded throughout the arena.
In that instant, the out-of-control cold air formed a terrifying shockwave, sweeping across the entire area.
Only martial artists above the fifth rank could quickly wave their hands to disperse the oncoming force.
As for those martial artists below the fifth rank, they were knocked off their feet by the shockwave.
Even some weaker eighth and ninth-rank martial artists had traces of blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, clearly suffering internal injuries.
When they scrambled to their feet, they discovered that everyone swept by the cold air had a layer of white frost on their hair, eyebrows, and clothes.
And when everyone fixed their eyes on the battlefield, they couldn't help but be shocked:
"How could this be?"
Wang Zhi had already retreated ten zhang, withdrawing from the battlefield.
However, at this moment, she actually had several bloody holes on her body!
Although these bloody holes were not large and did not pose a fatal injury, it was clear that she had suffered considerable damage.
As a result, the white clothes on Wang Zhi's body had been stained red with blood.
She hurriedly reached out and tapped several times on her body to stop the bleeding, while dissolving the acupoints that Liang Jin had struck.
After completing all of this, the expression on her face eased a lot.
Opposite her.
Liang Jin slowly retracted his spear, completely unscathed.
"You are a bit more troublesome, after all, you have an Earth-rank sword technique, which reminds me of a guard I once fought."
"However, it's only a bit more troublesome."
Although Wang Zhi was at the peak of the fourth rank, she was indeed much more powerful than Huyan Di of the same realm.
The martial arts she displayed were comparable to Ding Feng, the guard beside Princess Kangning, and even her inner strength was much stronger than Ding Feng's.
That was why she was able to exchange so many moves with Liang Jin.
The outcome of the battle seemed to have been decided.
And this situation caused too many people to feel unacceptable.
In an instant, the entire valley was in an uproar:
"How could this be? Just now, it was clear that Peak Lord Wang's moves were superb, and the effect was comparable to a sword immortal. But Building Master Meng's moves were unremarkable, how could the situation have reversed in the blink of an eye?"
For ordinary martial artists, they could no longer understand how this battle had reached its current state.
Even fifth-rank martial artists did not have the ability to see through it.
Only those true fourth-rank and above martial artists could understand the mysteries within.
The head of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, Bai Qiuying, sat back in her chair with a solemn expression:
"This spear technique is even more powerful than I expected!"
"This is definitely an Earth-rank spear technique!"
"But the sword technique of our Great Snow Mountain Sect is not weak either, why is it suppressed by this spear technique?"
While watching the battle, Bai Qiuying also imagined the scene of herself using the Snow Mountain Sword Technique.
But no matter how she deduced it, she always felt that even if she used the Snow Mountain Sword Technique in the same realm, the result would probably not be much better than Wang Zhi's.
"This kid!"
"He's really hiding it deep!"
"He actually pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger in front of me! It's really hateful!"
Bai Qiuying couldn't help but feel a burst of shame and annoyance.
She didn't realize that Liang Jin was so powerful, which led to such a big trouble for her today.
Bai Qiuying originally wanted Wang Zhi to show her face and establish her prestige in front of the three major forces and a group of Western Desert martial artists.
But who knew that it would instead lead to Wang Zhi being defeated and humiliated, causing the Great Snow Mountain Sect to lose a lot of prestige.
On the contrary, this time, Liang Jin will gain face in front of everyone.
Cang Du also sighed helplessly:
"Yes, Meng Xinghun actually deceived me."
"Alas, if I had known he had such abilities, we should have treated him with courtesy and kept him a few days ago."
"If he could stand on our side, then we wouldn't be in such a situation today."
Cang Du couldn't help but regret it again.
It was clear that his relationship with Liang Jin had been pretty good all the way down.
Why did he give up on Liang Jin at the final location, leading to Liang Jin parting ways with him?
If he had insisted a little at the beginning, then he would probably have completed the task today.
Bai Qiuying said angrily:
"Don't say such discouraging words!"
"Wang Zhi is not completely defeated yet!"
Bai Qiuying was naturally unhappy with Cang Du's words.
She didn't want to admit that she was wrong.
Especially since Bai Qiuying knew very well that Wang Zhi still had the power to fight again if she wanted to.
Even, she has even stronger power!
On the other side.
Left Envoy Leng You couldn't help but be surprised when he saw such an outcome:
"This Meng Xinghun, not only is his fist technique amazing, but even his spear technique is so powerful?!"
"He is still so young, yet he has already cultivated such profound martial arts."
"If he is given another ten years, how powerful will he become?"
Leng You couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement.
She knew that she was witnessing the birth of a genius with unlimited potential!
In the future, this person would likely become a force capable of changing the power structure of the Western Desert.
Befriending such a person would undoubtedly be beneficial to her.
Thinking of this, Leng You couldn't help but glance at Mi Qianmeng behind her.
She saw Mi Qianmeng sitting on a small stool, happily munching on sunflower seeds, with a pile of shells scattered around her feet.
This made Leng You shake her head helplessly.
Her daughter was good in every way—beautiful and talented in martial arts.
But she was just too lazy!
Mi Qianmeng seemed indifferent to everything, never working hard when she could slack off, never standing when she could sit, and never sitting when she could lie down.
Even practicing martial arts required her mother, Leng You, to force her.
"Alas, with her laziness, she will probably find it difficult to face the complicated changes in the Western Desert."
"When I am still around, I can protect her, but I will eventually grow old."
"The only thing I can do is find her a good husband, giving her a powerful backer."
Thinking of this, Leng You looked at Liang Jin again.
Suddenly, she found Liang Jin more and more pleasing to the eye.
If Liang Jin could be combined with her daughter, it would undoubtedly be a good choice.
At this moment.
A hoarse voice suddenly came from beside Leng You:
"Left Envoy, are you acquainted with this Meng Xinghun?"
The one speaking was the white-bearded old man whose face was half-covered by a hood, the Star Demon Sea Master, Ming Cangwu.
Leng You hurriedly replied:
"Reporting to the Master, I wouldn't say I'm acquainted with him, but my daughter has a slight acquaintance with him."
Hearing this, Ming Cangwu nodded slightly and then fell silent.
It was unknown what he was thinking.
On the other side.
Among the people of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect.
The Bull-Headed Bright King was also paying attention to this battle.
Seeing Wang Zhi injured, the Bull-Headed Bright King revealed a satisfied expression.
Then, he secretly glanced at the Immeasurable Dharma King beside him.
The Immeasurable Dharma King sat upright on a lotus platform, constantly turning his prayer beads, with his eyes closed.
Although the Dharma King didn't open his eyes.
The Bull-Headed Bright King knew very well that even with his eyes closed, the Immeasurable Dharma King could know everything about the battle situation.
The Bull-Headed Bright King turned his gaze back to Liang Jin, thinking to himself:
"Next, there will probably be a fierce battle."
"I wonder if you can handle it?"
He silently recited a Buddhist prayer, and then also closed his eyes slightly.
At this time.
In the battlefield.
After swallowing some pills, Wang Zhi's complexion had improved a lot.
She gripped her long sword tightly, staring coldly at Liang Jin:
"Boy, I haven't lost yet!"
Liang Jin carried his spear on his shoulder and said:
"I know."
"So hurry up and show your true strength."
"I also want to try what it feels like to fight against a Third-Rank martial artist."
Liang Jin was already hard to match among the Fourth-Ranks.
The only thing that could cause him some trouble was the Soul-Seizing Illusionary Eyes Technique that the Left Envoy Leng You had once used.
So Liang Jin had long wanted to try fighting beyond his rank.
He wouldn't rashly challenge Third-Rank powerhouses with deep internal strength and superb martial arts, such as the heads of the three major sects.
So he might as well use this Wang Zhi to test the waters first.
Even if Wang Zhi suppressed her realm, she would only be in the early stages of the Third-Rank even after breaking through now.
It could be said that she was the weakest Third-Rank martial artist.
Liang Jin could use her to verify whether he already had the strength to fight a Third-Rank martial artist.
Hearing this, Wang Zhi snorted coldly:
"Since you want to die, then I'll let you see!"
After saying that, Wang Zhi suddenly circulated her energy throughout her body.
Powerful internal force began to surge wildly within her.
She reached out and quickly tapped a few times on her body, unsealing some blocked acupoints.
Then.
The silver needles inserted into her body slowly emerged from within.
"咻!"
A needle was forced out of her body and shot into the ground beside her.
Following that, the remaining silver needles flew out of her body one after another.
In the end, the silver needles on her temples were gradually forced out and flicked away.
Among the audience.
Liu Yuan had been silently watching all of this.
When she saw the silver needles on Wang Zhi's temples being forced out, she clenched her hands:
"It's now!"
"Meng Xinghun! Hurry up!"
Liu Yuan urged anxiously.
But who knew.
Liang Jin was still standing in place with his iron spear on his shoulder, actually waiting patiently.
This made Liu Yuan startled:
"Why wait when she's at her weakest? What are you waiting for?!"
She didn't know that Liang Jin was planning to use this Wang Zhi to verify his combat strength, so he wouldn't act at this time.
He would wait until Wang Zhi's strength completely entered the Third-Rank realm before making a move.
At this time, Wang Zhi's aura soared wildly.
The bottleneck between her two major realms was easily broken through.
Wang Zhi could have entered the Third-Rank long ago.
So breaking through after removing the suppression was naturally easy.
In the blink of an eye.
Wang Zhi had already entered the early stages of the Third-Rank.
And among the onlookers.
Ayina shook her head slightly when she saw this scene:
"It seems it will be over soon."
"Once Meng Xinghun dies, the Green Clothed Tower will collapse in an instant."
Speaking of this, Ayina looked in the direction of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect.
Liang Jin had told her that the Immeasurable Dharma King of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect hoped to meet with her.
"It seems that I can only go to see the Immeasurable Dharma King, hoping that he can help my Siha Li Kingdom achieve its goals."
Ayina looked at Liang Jin for the last time, feeling a burst of regret and... sadness in her heart.
