Chapter 161 - 161 159 Four Phases Divine Art
Chapter 161: Chapter 159: Four Phases Divine Art Chapter 161: Chapter 159: Four Phases Divine Art The Zheng brothers had never considered that they could win.
It was impossible.
Li Miaozhen was a True Disciple of the White Tiger Lineage of the Beast Taming Sect, a lineage known for its proficiency in combat and slaying, with war power far superior to others at the same level.
Although the cultivation realm of the two brothers was not weak, cultivation realm alone could not completely represent war power, and they were not true disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect.
Compared to Li Miaozhen, there was still a significant gap in their war power.
“Kill!”
The two brothers shouted in unison once again, swinging their weapons and unleashing fierce power towards Li Miaozhen.
Their weapons had special effects.
…
The Shaking Mountain Mace possessed the ability to create tremors.
Upon contact with the opponent, it would transfer nine shocks.
If one was not prepared, they could easily be taken by surprise by this tactic.
And the other brother’s Wolf Fang Club was even more powerful, capable of crushing everything with its ferocious attack, specializing in breaking defenses.
The Defensive Magic Shield of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator could not withstand a single blow from him.
Once the defense was breached, the power of the Wolf Fang Club would shatter the opponent’s bones, muscles, and flesh.
However, Li Miaozhen didn’t care at all; with a flash of Spirit Light on her body, she instantly merged with the White Tiger beneath her, roared, and charged towards the two men.
She was naturally combative.
As long as the realm suppression was not too severe, she never feared any battle, even if the two in front of her were Body Refining Cultivators with formidable physical bodies.
Her body was equally strong, so she closed the distance and clashed head-on with them.
Body Refining Techniques were not exclusive to the Giant Spirit Sect.
As a sect with the most diverse cultivation methods, the Beast Taming Sect also had individuals who practiced Body Refining Techniques.
Among them, the most powerful were known as the Four Phases Divine Arts, and what the White Tiger Lineage inherited was the White Tiger Divine Technique.
In fact, the Four Phases Divine Arts from the Beast Taming Sect could also be considered top-level Body Refining Techniques, but the difficulty of practicing these techniques was too great.
They not only consumed a vast amount of resources but also required a corresponding Lifebound Spiritual Beast, making it impossible to become as widespread as the Body Refining Techniques of the Giant Spirit Sect.
Thus, the Four Phases Divine Arts were classified as the core inheritance of the Beast Taming Sect, and only true disciples of each generation could cultivate these divine arts under the sect’s grooming.
And the White Tiger Divine Technique, among the Four Phases Divine Arts, was known for being the most vicious, extremely difficult to practice, requiring one to endure immense pain.
If one’s willpower wasn’t strong enough, it was very easy to fail completely.
Yet, once someone made progress in their cultivation, the power revealed by Li Miaozhen’s formidable prowess showed just how powerful this technique was.
Bang Bang Bang!
A flurry of intense collision sounds echoed, the powerful air waves snapped the surrounding vegetation.
Li Miaozhen’s palms, like they were cast from Refined Iron, clashed with the opponents’ weapons, sparkling with sparks, leaving those behind her dumbfounded.
Only then did Qin Feng realize why this Senior Sister was capable of boldly snapping the Flying Sword of a Taiyi Mountain disciple—a body so formidable, her combat strength could not help but be impressive.
Wen Wan’er swallowed and stutteringly asked, “Qin…
Senior Brother Qin, who is this Senior Sister, and why is she so powerful?”
Before Qin Feng could reply, An Ruhui beside him spoke with endless emotion, “This is Li Miaozhen, a True Disciple of the Inner Sect’s White Tiger Lineage.
When she was practicing in the Outer Sect, she was unequaled.
After entering the Inner Sect, it took her merely a year to secure the position of a True Disciple of the White Tiger Lineage.
Ah, actually, when talking about it, my time of advancing to Foundation Establishment wasn’t much different from hers, yet now my strength falls far behind hers.”
She sighed lightly and told the two junior sisters, “You must focus on your cultivation in the future.
Although you definitely won’t have a chance at the True Inheritance of the Creation Lineage, as long as you diligently cultivate, you can join the Inner Sect early.
The resources provided by the Inner Sect are far superior to those of the Outer Sect.
Although Inner Sect disciples also have their missions, they can focus most of their attention on cultivation, unlike Outer Sect disciples who have to earn their own resources.”
Wen Qing’er curiously looked at An Ruhui and asked, “Senior Sister, why do Qin Senior Sister and I have no chance of obtaining the True Disciple position of the Creation Lineage?
Even if our strength is a bit weak now, we can always strive to improve through cultivation.
Why wouldn’t we even have a chance?”
An Ruhui chuckled softly, “Because someone has already occupied the position of the True Disciple of our Creation Lineage several years ago.
Do you really think you can beat her and take her place?
If you have that confidence, of course, I’ll support you.”
Wen Qing’er bit her tender lips, glanced at the battling Li Miaozhen, and cautiously asked, “What is the strength of our lineage’s True Disciple compared to this White Tiger Lineage’s Senior Sister Li?”
An Ruhui grinned, “I’ve heard that they’ve secretly competed several times and have been evenly matched, but a few months ago, our lineage’s True Disciple has already formed a Golden Core.”
“Oh.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Qing’er instantly gave up all thoughts of competing for the True Disciple position, obediently watching the battle before her.
Under Li Miaozhen’s fierce offensive, the two men, even though they unleashed all their war power, were no match and were forced to retreat repeatedly.
In fact, if Li Miaozhen were alone, even if she could eventually win, she wouldn’t have had such an easy upper hand as now.
But the unique cultivation method of the Beast Taming Sect, enhanced by their Lifebound Spiritual Beast, made them much more potent than a simple sum of their parts.
When two strong forces merged, their combined war power easily overwhelmed cultivators of the same level, which left the two men in a sorry state.
“Second brother, in a moment I’ll hold her off for a bit, you escape.”
The disciple wielding the Wolf Fang Club communicated telepathically to his twin brother.
“No, big brother, let me hold her off, you go.”
“Cut the nonsense, I’m the elder brother, my word is final!”
After saying this, the elder brother of the Zheng family roared, activating a secret technique that stimulated his body’s potential.
Instantly, his body grew to a height of thirty feet, his aura raging uncontrollably, even invoking the Power of Laws of the Secret Realm.
In the sky, Spiritual Energy already started gathering, preparing to send down thunder to obliterate him.
Under the stimulation of the secret technique, he actually erupted with the strength of the Golden Core Early Stage.
“Die!”
With a fierce roar, the Wolf Fang Club in the hands of Zheng Family’s eldest became even thicker under the strong infusion of True Yuan, carrying a wild momentum, smashing towards Li Miaozhen.
“Eh?”
Li Miaozhen’s figure flashed, dodging the strike.
Boom!
The Wolf Fang Club hit the ground, creating a hole several meters deep.
Li Miaozhen looked up and down at the tall figure, her eyes showing continuous astonishment, and she nodded in approval, “Not bad, daring to use such secret techniques, you do have some courage.”
“Second, why aren’t you running?”
Having used the secret technique, every muscle in Zheng Family’s eldest’s body swelled immensely, brimming with endless strength, and the dark black veins under his skin protruded, resembling thick roots embedded in the ground.
During this conversation, he once again swung the Wolf Fang Club, which looked slightly smaller compared to his huge body, smashing it towards Li Miaozhen.
“Big brother…”
Holding the Double Maces, Second Zheng’s eyes filled with tears, he cried out miserably, then without another word, he turned and ran.
He knew this was his big brother sacrificing his life to buy him a chance to escape; he had to leave, or his brother’s sacrifice would be in vain.
Second Zheng’s steps were rapid, leaping out seven or eight meters in a single bound.
After more than ten steps, he had already reached a distance of a hundred meters.
Just as he was about to leave the battlefield, the moment his foot landed again, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his sole.
Looking down, he discovered a sharp Golden Wing protruding from the ground.
Previously, focused only on escaping and ensuring Li Miaozhen wasn’t catching up to him, he hadn’t noticed the movement under his feet, leading to being ambushed the moment his foot was down.
The wings of the Ruyi Golden Snake were extremely sharp, enhanced by the Ruyi Golden Light, and were comparable to many top-level Spiritual Artifacts like the Flying Sword.
If Second Zheng had been fully defensive, Qin Feng might not have been able to pierce his sole, but the man was unsettled, his attention mostly on whether Li Miaozhen was following him, allowing Qin Feng to ambush successfully.
However, it was only this once; with Second Zheng on guard, injuring him again wouldn’t be so easy.
“Seeking death!”
A hint of madness flashed across Second Zheng’s face, raising his Double Maces and fiercely smashing down towards the ground.
He intended to use the Shaking Mountain Mace’s trembling force to literally shake to death the Beast Taming Sect cultivator hiding underground.
“Hiss…”
Qin Feng’s figure swiftly escaped, but in the moment of fleeing, the Golden Wings sliced, cleanly cutting Second Zheng’s sole in two.
“Ah ah ah…
I’m going to kill you.”
In severe pain, Second Zheng was wildly furious, his two Shaking Mountain Maces swinging like the wind, following Qin Feng’s energy trail and relentlessly bombing the ground, causing the earth to boom and tremble continuously.
Qin Feng frantically fled underground, but was also shaken violently by Second Zheng relentlessly pursuing him.
He knew he couldn’t keep this up; the speed of underground movement could ultimately not compare with moving on the surface.
Now he needed to either flee deeper underground to dodge the attacks or emerge and engage in combat; otherwise, if he continued to be shaken, he couldn’t hold on.
But if he didn’t want to let this man go, he had to choose to engage in battle.
Realizing this, Qin Feng twisted his body and instantly left the ground, soaring into the sky.
Second Zheng roared, forcefully pushing off the ground even with an injured sole, not significantly affecting his war power.
Using the thrust, his body shot up like a cannonball, his maces viciously aimed at Qin Feng.
Bang…
Qin Feng’s wings spread across his front, forcibly taking the hit.
Then, he realized he had been careless.
Although the defense of the Ruyi Golden Snake was strong, the dual maces’ strike hadn’t damaged the Golden Wings, but the combined nine shockwaves transmitted through them, shaking his internal organs violently, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Second Zheng was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm and a high-level Body Refining expert, his strength immense.
Qin Feng had not learned any Body Refining Techniques, and engaging such an opponent in close combat was suicidal.
Had it not been for his Foundation Establishment state and the significantly improved physical condition after nurturing by True Yuan, that strike might have grievously injured him.
Recognizing the danger, Qin Feng did not dare to clash directly anymore and swiftly retreated with a flap of his wings.
Though Second Zheng was stronger in realm, his speed was nowhere near as agile as Qin Feng’s.
Moreover, before forming a Golden Core, unless some secret techniques were used, cultivators couldn’t physically fly.
He had previously managed to catch up with Qin Feng in mid-air only by leveraging the force from kicking off the ground, and though he could now maneuver Spiritual Artifacts to fly mid-air, catching up with Qin Feng was impossible.
Besides, now was not the time to continue the brawl with this youngster; it was best for him to quickly leave.
