Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior
Chapter 362 - 217: Reversing Life and Death, Shocking Demon Technique!
"Cyan Frost Sword Technique!"
A mist of ice enveloped the longsword in Lin Shuang’s hand, and the sword qi surged forth, like frost forming blooming ice flowers. With a sharp shout, the ice flowers shot towards Wang Xuantian like arrows released from a bowstring.
"Flame Fire Saber Technique!"
On the other side, Lin Lie’s power and qi blood surged wildly into his longsaber, the blade vibrating with a fiery hum as he charged forward aggressively. His longsaber seemed like a raging flood dragon slicing through the sky. If it struck, the flames contained within could instantly burn a martial artist’s power and qi blood from within.
At the same time, Shangguan Ke held nothing back, stealthily activating her Jade Bone. A cyan radiance flowed around her, and the longsaber in her hands emitted a clear sound, resembling the rushing of a waterfall. As she raised the saber with both hands, it was like a silver-white waterfall suspended from the heavens.
"River-Breaking Saber!"
The three experts, their qi blood ignited, joined forces to unleash their deadly moves in a siege maneuver. Only then did waves emerge in Wang Xuantian’s eyes, revealing a battle intent. Yet, he neither dodged nor evaded, his black hair dancing wildly as his fists struck out, embodying the power of the heavens and earth, meeting the three like a raging flood dragon.
Rumble!
The ice flowers erupted violently, cold winds transformed into sharp blades, fiery saber qi screeched, and the roaring waterfall resounded, the deafening collisions sounding like thunderous claps.
The battle of the three split the ground with their swords and sabers, scorched by flames, a large river rampaged. The earth within several zhang** collapsed, leaving devastation and ruin, shaking the ground.
After burning their qi blood, the lethal moves unleashed by the three exceeded their past strength, yet Wang Xuantian, surrounded by them, remained unyielding. His powerful physique and domineering fists struck forcefully, causing the three to feel their qi blood churning, power flowing backwards, they struggled to withstand.
"Lord Shangguan, we siblings will hold him down, seize the opportunity to act."
"Alright!"
The three instantly reached a consensus. The Lin Family siblings roared together, their blades and swords screamed, frost and fire raged. An all-out strike from the siblings could easily crush the likes of the Four Celestial Generals, but now countless blades and swords fell upon Wang Xuantian, only leaving superficial wounds.
Boom! Boom!
The trio once again joined forces, yet they were all forced to retreat under Wang Xuantian’s overwhelming power. Blood seeped from the corners of their mouths, their faces turned pale. Despite burning their qi blood, the three failed to suppress Wang Xuantian alone. Instead, his solo strikes made their qi blood seem like illusory smoke, on the verge of extinguishing.
"Damn, this Wang Xuantian’s physique is too strong. He can withstand our combined attack with just the power of his physical body!"
The three were astonished, realizing that Wang Xuantian’s physique could withstand their siege. Yet, they dared not let his fists strike them directly, for the consequences would be dire.
"Momentum. If I haven’t mistaken, the invisible power flowing on this fierce man’s fists is Fist Momentum... He has already comprehended the embryonic form of Martial Momentum!"
"What, Fist Momentum?!"
Reminded by Shangguan Ke, the Lin Family siblings’ expressions changed drastically, quickly recognizing the validity of Shangguan Ke’s conjecture.
The so-called ’Momentum’ originates from Martial Arts, yet transcends it; it is a unique force martial artists grasp by cultivating techniques like fist, sword, and saber to profound levels, merging with personal will.
In fists, it becomes Fist Momentum; in swords, Sword Momentum; in sabers, Saber Momentum!
Take Wang Xuantian before them, mastering the Fist Momentum within Martial Momentum—every punch he throws can unleash horrific power comparable to, or even surpassing ordinary Martial Techniques under the enhancement of Momentum.
Further, those who master Martial Momentum inherently exert immense pressure on those who haven’t. It’s a natural suppression of aura and presence.
The saying goes, "In a narrow road, the brave wins." If one loses momentum in a clash, they lose the initiative, failing to exert full strength, achieving only seven or eight tenths at best.
In battles between strong ones, losing the initiative often means defeat, potentially even death.
Moreover, Martial Momentum is also the key to unlocking the Upper Third Grade Grandmaster Realm. Only martial artists who condense Martial Momentum qualify to embark on the path of the Grandmaster, and Wang Xuantian has already touched upon this power.
"Hmm? Quite perceptive. Then I’ll start with you."
Wang Xuantian’s eyes flashed with appreciation but his words were chilling.
"Fight to the death!"
An expression of fear flickered in Shangguan Ke’s eyes, knowing she couldn’t escape once Wang Xuantian set his sights on her. Recognizing her path was cut off, she bit her tongue, understanding that the only option now was to fight recklessly, only by giving it her all could she grasp a slim chance of survival.
As a member of the Shangguan Family, even in death she couldn’t bring shame upon her family!
Just as Shangguan Ke steeled herself for a fight to the death, suddenly crickets chirped and a breeze blew, a tall, stern figure appearing between both sides.
"Li Feiyu, is it you? Why are you here? You’re no match for Wang Xuantian. If an opportunity arises, depart swiftly, deliver the message to the Judge."
The flicker of hope that had just arisen in Shangguan Ke vanished upon recognizing Su Mu. She quickly urged him in a low voice, knowing that even with three of them against Wang Xuantian they barely held ground. Adding Su Mu would be futile, merely another life lost in vain.
Ignoring Shangguan Ke’s warning, Su Mu simply spoke in a deep voice.
"You all handle the others... leave him to me!"
