Chapter 48 - 48 Injuring People From Afar? Martial Skill Cultivation Method?
In the blink of an eye, Li Tianxing caught the moment when Wang Mang’s guard was down and charged over.
The dagger in his hand went straight for Wang Mang’s cold snake eyes!
He wanted to blind Wang Mang.
This way, he could really attack without holding back.
Otherwise, if Wang Mang waited like this, not attacking for a long time, he would reveal very few openings.
Thus, Li Tianxing intended to completely enrage Wang Mang and cause him to panic. Only then would it be easier for him to deal with Wang Mang!
Unfortunately, Wang Mang was already on guard against him.
Hence, the moment Li Tianxing attacked, Wang Mang suddenly stretched out his body at an incomparably fast speed and charged toward Li Tianxing with his bloody mouth.
Seeing this, Li Tianxing was shocked and quickly gave up on attacking. He wanted to jump away, but it was already too late.
When he saw Wang Mang’s bloody mouth lunging at him, Li Tianxing ruthlessly kicked Wang Mang’s chin.
This extremely powerful kick managed to directly kick away Wang Mang’s bloody mouth.
However, when he sensed Wang Mang’s tail whistling over, his expression changed greatly.
“Damn it!” After shouting angrily, Li Tianxing did not have time to think. He crossed his arms in front of him.
With a loud bang, Li Tianxing was sent flying by Wang Mang’s sharp tail.
Li Tianxing was sent flying a few meters away. Then, he immediately jumped up like a carp.
Before he could do anything else, he raised his head and saw Wang Mang pouncing at him with his bloody mouth wide open.
“Evil creature, don’t be arrogant!”
In his anger, Li Tianxing abandoned his dagger and stomped on the ground.
With a stomp, the ground was even crushed by him, and cracks spread out like spiderwebs.
One could imagine how terrifying this unremarkable old man’s strength was!
“Die!” Facing Wang Mang, who was right in front of him, the old man ruthlessly struck Wang Mang’s jaw.
With this punch, Wang Mang’s head was struck with incomparable pain and dizziness.
Wang Mang’s attack did not land either. What followed was another tail strike.
Li Tianxing leaped several meters into the air. As he somersaulted in the air, he shouted angrily with a livid expression, “Water Split!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tianxing’s palms condensed a seemingly tangible energy saber and swung it toward Wang Mang’s tail.
The condensed palm blade whistled towards Wang Mang’s tail.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a loud noise.
Then, Wang Mang felt as if his tail had smashed into an incomparably sharp divine weapon. For a moment, he felt incomparable pain.
After moving his body and retracting his tail, Wang Mang saw that his tail was already dripping with blood.
In fact, the wound on his tail was so deep that his bones could be seen.
“So this is what cultivators do? Energy arts? And they can form energy sabers that can hurt people from afar?
“Isn’t this a trick from a martial arts novel?”
Wang Mang looked at the old man in bewilderment.
The palm blade that the old man used earlier was like a divine weapon slashing at his tail!
Its power and sharpness were just as sharp as the ancient dagger that the old man had used previously.
However, Wang Mang soon thought of something.
If this old man could use this skill indefinitely, he would not have used a divine weapon earlier.
Thinking of this, Wang Mang felt a little relieved. He moved his body and pounced at the old man again.
He could roughly guess that this old man definitely could not use his previous method too many times.
That was because after using the qi blade that could injure people from afar, Wang Mang noticed that the old man’s forehead was covered in sweat.
It was precisely because of this discovery that Wang Mang was so sure!
This old man’s previous method definitely could not be used for too long!
In fact, Wang Mang was right. Li Tianxing could not use too much spiritual energy!
Yes, Qi Refinement was also known as Spirit Qi, but the qi here was stronger than the internal force in martial arts.
Similarly, the internal force of the martial arts world was also a type of spiritual energy. It was just that it was less purified.
The key to the Qi Refinement Realm was the refining part! Cultivators needed to remove the turbid spiritual energy and take the refined essence into their bodies.
As for the internal force in the martial arts world, it could also be considered spiritual energy, but it was more mixed.
Hence, there were many names for spiritual qi, and internal force was one of them.
Therefore, in the world of martial arts, Li Tianxing’s strength could only be considered second-rate.
It could even be said that he might not be able to defeat those second-rate experts in the martial arts world.
As for the main culprit, it was naturally because the spiritual energy on Earth was so thin that it was about to disappear!
Otherwise, Li Tianxing believed that his talent would at least reach the later levels of the Qi Refining Stage. It would not be difficult for him to reach the eighth or ninth level.
...
Similarly, the Water Split he used earlier was a very good and powerful top-notch Qi Refining martial technique!
However, he was only at the fifth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. The spiritual qi on earth was thin, so he could not use it many times.
In fact, if he used it more than six times, he would directly exhaust all the spiritual energy in his body!
Moreover, it would take some time for his body to slowly recover the spiritual qi he had consumed!
Of course, if he reached the later stage of the Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual energy in his body would be much richer.
He could even use martial techniques many times without having the spiritual qi in his body completely exhausted.
If the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm was Qi Refining, then the middle and late stages were expanding the capacity of the spiritual qi in the body!
Once he reached the ninth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm and achieved Qi Refining Completion, he would be able to compress the spiritual qi in his body so that he did not have to worry about the spiritual qi in his body being exhausted during battle.
Unfortunately, Li Tianxing was clearly not at this level yet. He might not even be able to break through this stage in his lifetime.
This was because in the cultivation environment of the 21st century, the spiritual qi in the world was even harsher than in ancient times.
When Wang Mang pounced on him again, Li Tianxing did not use any martial techniques that consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
...
Therefore, Li Tianxing’s face darkened as he chose to use the best way to maintain his spiritual qi to fight, which was to use his skills and strength.
As long as the spiritual energy in his body was not exhausted, he would have unimaginable divine power and speed.
Therefore, when Wang Mang opened his bloody mouth and pounced at him again, Li Tianxing quickly jumped a few meters high and distanced himself from Wang Mang again.
Seeing this, Wang Mang was like a cannon again. He quickly turned his body around and pounced at Li Tianxing.
Their battle state had also changed from Li Tianxing taking the initiative to attack to a passive counterattack.
Because Wang Mang had super self-healing skills, he was naturally not afraid of this guy.
Moreover, after fighting for so long, Wang Mang had roughly figured out the strength of this old man in front of him.
He was very powerful, of course. He could even use the methods in martial arts television dramas to hurt people from afar.
However, he was not all-powerful.
This old man’s condition was clearly not as good as those characters in martial arts movies.
It was precisely because he had figured out the approximate strength of this old cultivator that Wang Mang dared to attack so confidently!
As long as he did not give the old man a chance, it would be difficult for the old man to kill him!
Just by relying on his huge body, strength, and skills, he was invincible.
In fact, this was the case. After exchanging blows with Li Tianxing several times, neither Wang Mang nor Li Tianxing had the upper hand.
They were evenly matched.
This made Li Tianxing’s expression turn extremely ugly. He had been full of confidence when he arrived.
However, he had never thought that he would not be able to take down Wang Mang! To put it bluntly, they were evenly-matched right now!
This was because he did not dare to consume too much of the spiritual qi accumulated in his body. Otherwise, if he exhausted all the spiritual qi, he would probably have to run away with his tail between his legs.
“Damn it! If this continues, it’ll be dawn soon. I have to try something!”
At this moment, Li Tianxing’s expression turned extremely gloomy.
He knew that he could not continue like this. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to win!
With this thought in mind, Li Tianxing’s eyes became as sharp as an eagle’s as he took the initiative to attack.
He formed a seal with his hands and a white gas gathered between his palms.
Seeing this scene, Wang Mang naturally knew that this old man was finally willing to use his method of injuring others from afar.
Therefore, Wang Mang became vigilant as well. It was obvious that he was very wary of this method.
Of course, Wang Mang was also very happy.
He had long guessed that this old man’s method could not be used limitlessly.
Furthermore, after the first time, Wang Mang had also accumulated his strength.
His defense had been strengthened to the extreme, and he was prepared to use his tail, which had just healed, to take it head-on.
As for dodging?
Wang Mang felt that this was unrealistic.
This old man’s attack was too fast.
Moreover, Wang Mang’s speed was not that crazy, and his body was so huge, so he naturally could not dodge.
At this moment, Li Tianxing’s forehead was suddenly covered in sweat. His face was twisted as he roared, “Storm Blade!”
Then, Wang Mang saw Li Tianxing’s right hand, which had already condensed white gas, swing at him.
After that, an air saber whistled over and quickly flew toward Wang Mang.
