Chapter 96 - Break Through To Yin Grade (2/2)

Without any hesitation, his sword-light changed as he wanted to attack faster to avoid the saber.

That being said, Ou Yangming’s saber-light changed again as soon as Zhang Yinli changed direction. The saber-light was still aimed at Zhang Yinli’s arm.

After changing his sword’s path for a few dozen times, not only was Zhang Yinli unable to get free from the saber-light, but he was somehow stuck inside. It was as if he was restrained by an invisible rope, and was unable to free himself.

Owing to his unusually rich experience in battle, Zhang Yinli instantly knew that something was off. If he could not break away immediately, he would only be faced with endless attacks until he no longer had the ability to counterattack.

All of a sudden, Zhang Yinli stopped and charged at Ou Yangming irrationally. The sword-light in his hand swirled at the same time, and he attacked Ou Yangming’s throat regardless of the blade force.

Ou Yangming sighed softly. He slightly s.h.i.+fted his steps to evade the sword-light’s most intense area, then swung his saber to block the fierce sword.

Nonetheless, he moved backward as he lost his footing.

Zhang Yinli thanked his luck. Seeing as he had the upper hand, he continued charging forward and moved his body according to his sword. Just as Zhang Yinli dashed forward, a flash of blood light was seen, and Ou Yangming vanished once more.

Feeling stunned, Zhang Yinli stomped his foot and let out a deafening roar. His twisted and fearsome face looked extremely hideous.

‘I let that young fella escape again!’

He had a feeling that the more he let the young man escape, the harder it would be to go against him.

When Zhang Yinli recalled how he was almost trapped by the strange and mysterious blade technique earlier, he could not help but feel frightened.

‘Next time, next time, I must… Kill him!’

Zhang Yinli finally stopped having fantasies. He was certain that the Fire-absorbing Badge was with Ou Yangming. Even though he was not sure where it was hidden, he knew that there was a high chance to find it as long as he searched a few times based on Ou Yangming’s activities.

Of course, Zhang Yinli was only comforting himself. If the Fire-absorbing Badge could be found so easily, he would not need to rack his brains to come up with lies.

*****

A red light zoomed in the forest for an unknown period of time before Ou Yangming finally stopped.

It was worth noting that this time, his body was stable when he stopped. He had found his footing right away.

He was starting to have a better grasp of the Blood Flight Art. Apart from that, Ou Yangming was even more excited because after exchanging more blows with Zhang Yinli, and after slaughtering ferocious beasts to compensate for what he had lost from the Blood Flights, his essential Qi actually advanced so much that it was moving toward a higher level.

The grade above Force Grade was Yin Grade.

Ou Yangming could obviously not defend against Zhang Yinli, a Yang Grade powerhouse, when he was only in Force Grade. However, he would not be outdone if he was up against a Yin Grade martial artist.

If that was the case, what would happen if he entered Yin Grade?

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. He walked with light footsteps as he quickly killed two wild beasts to replenish his Qi and blood, then turned around to initiate an attack on Zhang Yinli for the first time.

“Ding, ding, ding…”

As the saber and the sword clashed multiple times, Ou Yangming was quickly depleted of energy. The moment he was about to be completely exhausted, he transformed into a blood light again to escape.

Following that, the same scenario took place after an hour. Ou Yangming was like an undefeatable c.o.c.kroach; he kept pouncing out from the dark to attack Zhang Yinli without warning.

He had vision reinforcement, the integration of Heaven and man, the energy transformed from devoured flesh and blood, the ability to escape using the Blood Flight Art, as well as the sure-fire Subst.i.tution Gem.

At this moment, Ou Yangming tirelessly found ways to attack, causing Zhang Yinli to be in a state of extreme nervousness.

Nevertheless, Zhang Yinli’s willpower was far stronger than an ordinary person’s. No matter how ridiculous Ou Yangming’s performances were, he kept following behind resolutely.

This was a contest of determination, and Zhang Yinli believed that his patience and experience would certainly lead him to the final victory.

In spite of that, he had no idea that after being in the dense forest for seven days, ou Yangming could not help but wield his saber again once he recovered his Qi and blood after yet another Blood Flight.

When his saber dance reached its most intense and fiercest moment, the essential Qi light in his dantian suddenly sunk.

Consequently, the enormous amount of Qi and blood energy was almost absorbed completely.

When everything became tranquil again, a soft Yin Qi was born deep in his dantian, and it flowed slowly to every corner in his body.
