393 Being Heartbroken (1/2)
Since Meng Qi couldn't see his enemy or his attacks, he appeared to be trapped in complete darkness where there was no light or sound. On the basis of the details sensed by his heart and the Standing Still, he naturally adopted countermeasures before noticing them. As he sensed the dangers, he stopped the storming strikes from Wolf King.
Their attack and counterattack didn't cause any wind. They did not even produce sound.
Such an ethereal state was beyond the Heaven-man Connection, but the Oneness of Heaven and Men realm, and a sublimation of imperceptibility realm. Reaching this point with difficulty, Meng Qi had to increase his spirit by utilizing the Nine Primeval Seals and the momentum brought by the Wolf King. In other words, he wouldn't make it if his rival was someone else.
The Wolf King revealed a strong intent to kill with each fist, foot, and claw. Other Enlightened Master Pros would have been killed by him earlier after a round of attacks, because their minds would be affected, and their Vital Spirits disturbed.
However, his rival was Meng Qi. Like the vast earth and grand mountain, Meng Qi used his feet to distribute the killing intent and genuine Qi along the ground, causing little harm to himself.
The four hands continuously collided with each other. Meng Qi consumed more energy than the Wolf King because of the Exterior, Standing Still. Featuring stillness and continuation, the move was depleting his spirit. If this went on, his genuine Qi and physical body would hold up for a while but his Vital Spirit would become weaker. He had to use Sacrifice Formula.
He had to find an opportunity to counterattack.
Instead of feeling anxious, he was even calmer. If he hurried to counterattack, the Wolf King would find a way to dodge it and see through his flaw to wound him badly.
Now that he had pinned all of his hope in his spirit in this battle, he had difficulty creating the chance.
Could he use Eight Nine Mysteries to deceive the Wolf King?
No, he couldn't. Wolf King would identify him, causing him endless troubles.
The more heated the fight became, the more sober Meng Qi became. He recalled all of his moves, making sure that he hadn't exposed himself. After he arrived at Wenan City, nothing related to Killing Blade Su Meng and Gentleman Sword Meng Qi ever popped up. There was the possibility that Wolf King had followed him here from Di County, which was implausible.
Various thoughts crossed his mind as he was thinking about how to create an opportunity. A ringing sound suddenly came to his ears, and he conjured up a picture of a firewood chopped into two pieces.
He felt a silhouette freeze for a second in the dark.
”Got you!”
As Meng Qi took a step forward, his momentum immediately became rich and ancient. He lifted up his right hand, stretched five fingers, and hurtled toward the Wolf King with unstoppable energy.
The darkness was split, and the airflow converged in front of his palm. The nearby air seemed to be curled up, making it impossible for the Wolf King to sidestep.
His five white fingers glinted with a hint of demonic magic, filling Wolf King's sight as if the world was brimming with it.
Wolf King's eyes froze, but then he unfolded his right hand as well. Like five murderously sharp swords capable of piercing through a mountain, they met with Meng Qi's palm.
They attacked back and forth in complete silence. Afterward, the roar was stopped by the finger, and the sound of the wind was covered by the palm print.
As the Qi and blood rolled inside his body, Meng Qi felt the desire to kill run along his veins. His genuine Qi and internal organs were about to surge, but he found a way to stop them.
He took advantage of the force to step back. He then used his back to hit a man-shaped hole in the wall before leaving the room.
The morning sunlight in winter was quite dim, but it was rather bright compared with the darkness in the room.
The wind was not strong and cooled his face.
It felt to Meng Qi that everything had been brought back to life.
The darkness disappeared in the room, revealing a similar hole in the opposite wall. It seemed to him that Wolf King couldn't control his momentum after attacking Meng Qi's Exterior killer move head on. He couldn't remain invisible, so he broke the wall and window to escape.
A draft passed through the room, and Wolf King disappeared. The wooden desk and chair, censer, and bookshelves inside the room were as intact as before. Only the two big holes left served as a reminder that a ferocious battle had occurred there.
If two Half-step Exterior Scenery masters gave full play to their strength, they would collapse the house and ruin the yard. However, the two caused a different earthshattering phenomenon with their precision and control.
They didn't have a grudge against each other, but it was the second time that Meng Qi had been sneak-attacked by him. As a man of tit for tat, Meng Qi was furious ogling at the human-shaped hole.
Zhiwei would attend to the Party of Happycloud in Ying City for sure. As long as Wolf King was in River East, he would work with her to attack him by mobilizing their resources from Sword Washing Pavilion and Six Fan School.
He was that narrow-minded!
He couldn't expose his identity now. He jumped over the wall deep in thought and headed for Wen'an City along the woods.
Kill-stopping Cultivator was steeped in firewood chopping.
A tall lanky man walked in after the yard door was opened. He was dressed in black clothes, and had exotic facial features. His cold eyes were as ferocious as beasts.
”Why do you want to kill people again?” asked Kill-stopping Cultivator without looking at him, continuing to chop the firewood.
He replied in a rather chill tone. ”He snatched your Monster Core.”
She paused for a second and then looked at him, saying, ”I gave it to him.”
She added while exhaling, ”I'm a bad teacher. Killing isn't right.”
