I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 297: The Battle for Standing (Continued)

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Battle for Standing (Continued)

Li Wanlong, throughout his life, has encountered opponents of equal strength.

The "Gold-breaking Hand" he devoted his life to mastering is not invincible in battle.

But in a head-on clash, a Tier Five against a Tier Four unexpectedly did not gain much of an upper hand.

Li Wanlong found it incredible.

You must know that the true Qi cultivated by martial artists can greatly enhance combat power, doubling one’s power.

Apart from those with extraordinary talent, the strength limit of a Tier Three Martial Artist is around 3,500 jin.

And the power of a Tier Four Martial Artist infused with true Qi can easily be multiplied several times.

Moreover, true Qi cultivated through different techniques has different special properties.

Some are as gentle as water, others are fiercer than fire, some are swift as the wind, and others are as heavy as the earth, further enhancing the power of martial arts.

Thus, a Tier Four against a Tier Three normally leaves the latter with no chance of victory.

This is the gap in realm!

By the same token, at the power level, Tier Five true essence also firmly suppresses Tier Four.

Because true essence is refined from true Qi, there is a fundamental difference.

When used in martial arts, its power is multiplied!

Zhang Yuan, with Tier Four cultivation, dared to confront Li Wanlong’s "Gold-breaking Hand" with fist against palm. To the latter, it seemed utterly reckless, as if his brain had been kicked by a mule.

Yet the result of the clash made this Tier Five expert extremely surprised.

The power Zhang Yuan unleashed was not much less than his own "Gold-breaking Hand" infused with ninety percent true essence.

Li Wanlong initially thought he could shatter Zhang Yuan’s fist with one palm, perhaps even his arm.

But Zhang Yuan was only sent flying, the tiger’s mouth of his left palm splitting, drawing a bit of blood!

"Good, good, good!"

After all, Li Wanlong was no ordinary man; he immediately suppressed his tumultuous emotions.

He said "good" three times, his voice like thunder spreading in all directions, startling many birds from the nearby forest.

"Indeed, you have some ability, no wonder you’re so arrogant!"

The Tier Five expert revealed a faint smile and said, "Zhao Yun, if you are willing to submit to my Li Family..."

While speaking, he circulated true essence Qi through his meridians, the dark golden hue spreading from his hands rapidly to his chest, neck, abdomen, and legs...

Li Wanlong primarily cultivated Geng Metal attribute techniques, instantly bestowing a "Golden Body" upon himself, equivalent to deploying a top-notch horizontal cultivation technique, multiplying his body’s defensive power.

Not only that, his whole being also transformed into a powerful weapon, unleashing destructive power with every gesture!

In the past, Li Wanlong would only unleash his strongest skills against truly formidable enemies.

Now he regarded Zhang Yuan as an equal opponent!

But Zhang Yuan didn’t bother to finish listening to the other’s blather, landing and steadying the disordered energy within his body.

He once more charged at the Tier Five expert with his saber.

That previous punch, even with its twelvefold power boost, failed to gain any advantage.

Instead, he suffered a minor setback.

Yet, Zhang Yuan felt not surprised but exhilarated! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Because twelvefold power wasn’t Zhang Yuan’s current limit, and in a slugfest with Li Wanlong he was only slightly behind.

This indicated that, with the support of the Divine Nest Host, he could entirely contend against this Tier Five expert with his late-stage Tier Four cultivation!

Even though that palm was unlikely Li Wanlong’s utmost power limit.

But Zhang Yuan could still unleash even greater strength.

The most crucial thing was, through this clash, Zhang Yuan thoroughly felt the power of Tier Five, which in turn kindled his courage and momentum for battle.

Approaching Li Wanlong again, Zhang Yuan suddenly slashed out intense flames of light with the General-Slaying Saber.

Enveloping the Tier Five expert directly!

The power of Intermediate Sword Technique Profound Communication burst forth instantly.

"Break!"

Li Wanlong glared and shouted angrily, swatting his palm towards the overwhelming Heavy Flame Blade Aura.

His "Gold-breaking Hand" had already been cultivated to a level impervious to blades and spears, resistant to all methods, with palm strength no weaker than any Mortal Soldier’s weaponry.

With immense true essence, he could even withstand Profound Soldiers!

That’s why Li Wanlong didn’t carry weapons.

His hands were the best weapons!

"Shing!"

The next moment, the sharp blade aura Zhang Yuan had slashed was forcefully dispersed and shattered by Li Wanlong.

His right hand suddenly formed into an eagle claw, rapidly clutching towards the General-Slaying Saber’s blade!

At this moment, Li Wanlong demonstrated the style of a true Tier Five expert.

One might say he struck with exceptional precision!

Yet, that determined grab by the Tier Five expert caught nothing but air.

Zhang Yuan abruptly changed his move, the saber flowing with his body, swiftly maneuvering to Li Wanlong’s right side, slicing horizontally at the opponent’s waist and abdomen.

The blade suddenly spat out an intense red-white flame!

Li Wanlong snorted coldly, propelling himself backward, narrowly dodging the strike.

Even with the Golden Body’s defense.

Intuition told this Tier Five expert that using his body to block that strike was unwise.

The consequences were entirely unpredictable!

Li Wanlong was not one to save face at the cost of sensibility.

Even if retreating damaged his reputation, he did not hesitate at all, nor did he underestimate Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan’s strike missed; he immediately launched a saber momentum, slicing out layers of saber light.

Each slash aimed solely at Li Wanlong’s vital points!

Zhang Yuan’s earliest learned saber technique was the entry-level martial art "Wave-Slaying Saber" from the Furious Whale Gang.

He had invested great effort in this swordsmanship, having long grasped saber momentum and saber intent, repeatedly defeating formidable opponents.

But the "Wave-Slaying Saber" was at the entering force level.

Its upper limit was locked, with no further advancement possible.

Currently, the saber technique that Zhang Yuan focused on mastering was the "Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud" acquired from the Celestial King Hall’s Daoist Vault.

Compared to the "Wave-Slaying Saber," the power of "Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud" was undoubtedly far stronger.

However, Zhang Yuan’s training time was short, and he hadn’t yet mastered the saber momentum of this superior technique, thus was unable to unleash the full power of "Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud."

Yet with the support of the "Intermediate Sword Technique Profound Communication" ability, Zhang Yuan’s understanding and mastery of saber techniques multiplied.

He integrated the Great Success Realm’s "Wave-Slaying Saber" with the beginner-level "Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud," penetrating it with strength, wielding the saber with Qi, each slash releasing incredible sharpness and edge.

Dignified Tier Five expert Li Wanlong actually found himself retreating frequently under such attacks.

Only able to fend off the attacks without counterattacking!

Relying on immense strength and an abundance of combat experience, he wasn’t wounded by Zhang Yuan’s saber light or saber Qi.

Yet his inner fury only grew!

But the angrier, the more resilient Li Wanlong became, opting to trade blows and avoid Zhang Yuan’s attacks, heedless of his image.

The two darted and flew through the valley, colliding at times, dodging at others, stirring up vast amounts of sand, stones, and soil, their crashing sounds endlessly clattering, even drowning out the waterfall’s noise.

In fact, this Tier Five expert was biding his time.

Waiting for the opportunity to kill Zhang Yuan in one strike!

His true essence was incomparably abundant, allowing him to engage Zhang Yuan in prolonged combat until the latter was exhausted.

Just then, the surrounding forest suddenly erupted with commotion.

Two Tier Four individuals and a group of elite warriors from the Li Family arrived!
