Vol 23 Chapter 5 (2/2)
There was no way his own heartforce could defend against that tre heartforce power They were on completely different levels
“Fifth stage heartforce! Old Man Yuan has reached the fifth stage of heartforce He just launched a sneak attack againstwas tree that the only person who had reached the fifth stage of heartforce was Houyi However, this clearly was not the case Old Man Yuan was extremely accomplished in heartforce; the [Heart Sutra] he had bestowed unto Ning had thoroughly convinced Ning of his formidable prowess in this field Only today, however, did he realize that Old Man Yuan had actually reached the fifth stage of heartforce!
Old Man Yuan’s heartforce flooded through Ning’s body!
Ning’s own heartforce couldn’t defend against it at all, resulting in the invading heartforce delving straight towards Ning’s soul!
“Heartforce soul-lock!” Ning had beenthis secret art the entire time
Heartforce soul-lock was a type of defensive technique that joined one’s soul and one’s heartforce together It was like a series of extre it difficult for an outside force to break through them!
When adventuring through the primordial chaos, one would often encounter natural illusions and evil spells that were ai a secret art that could protect the soul was extremely important Thus, World God Northrest had i’s soul was nourished by his half-step Elder God body, resulting in it beco treether with his fourth-stage heartforce into a series of co chains, it was incredibly durable and nearly inable
Booe heartforce collided violently against the heartforce soul-lock technique
Outside Ning’s body
space in the surrounding area had come to a sudden halt The waters of the river had cal visible It was as though everything had frozen solid Even the fish within the fish bucket at the front of the boat had frozen
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The wooden boat suddenly blew apart The wooden bucket blew apart, with the fish inside the bucket being corated into dust In fact, even the surrounding waters of the river were instantly vaporized…
Although heartforce was ephee heartforce was sih Old Man Yuan’s heartforce had rammed into a steel board! The defensive prowess of the heartforce soul-lock technique was siainst Old Man Yuan’s attack The resulting spiritual collision actually manifested as an enor within ninety e, however, nothing was daed whatsoever
“How is this possible?!” Old Man Yuan revealed a look of shock This was the technique which he was the most confident in, but it had failed spectacularly from the very start
Ning just turned his head to look at him, a hint of pain in his eyes
“Fellow Daoist Yuan, you truly disappoint me”
His voice echoed by Old Man Yuan’s ears
Whoosh!+
A dazzling streak of sword-light suddenly descended Ning didn’t hesitate at all, i doith Violetjehile using the most inscrutable, mysterious stance he knew: Shadowless
“Go” A horsetail whisk appeared in Old Man Yuan’s hands He flicked it outwards, causing countless strands of hair to swirl around the sword-light, blocking it as he hurriedly retreated
“You hid your true power quite well” As soon as they exchanged blows, Ning discovered that Old Man Yuan definitely had the power of an overlord-class figure
Everyone believed him to merely be ‘close’ to the overlord level, but that was soo In his attack against Ning, Old Man Yuan had first revealed his fifth-stage heartforce, then ht with his own horsetail whisk Although a soft weapon like this was a natural counter to Ning’s fierce sword-strikes, Old Man Yuan had still unquestionably shown hiure
Whoosh A figure suddenly flashed into existence next to Old Man Yuan It was an azure-haired, red-robed man
“The Lord of All Fiends!”
Ning was completely shocked by the Lord of All Fiend’s speed He had actually appeared without any warning whatsoever!
“Don’t even think about leaving!” Ning thrust out with his sword, striking like a thunderclap This was the fastest stance he had, the Blood Drop Stance He stabbed directly towards Old Man Yuan, but the azure-haired, red-robed Lord of All Fiends gracefully fleard at the saan to change and blur
Ning’s sword-arts had exceeded the li the fastest stance he had, the Blood Drop Stance And yet…
Ning stared, wide-eyed, as he realized that his sword couldn’t keep up with the Lord of All Fiend’s flying speed!
Whoosh
The Lord of All Fiends and Old Man Yuan disappeared fro’s field of vision
The Allfiend world
The Lord of All Fiends appeared within a palace with Old Man Yuan in tow Within the hall were Keeper Everwood, Dao All three turned to look at him
“I failed” Old Man Yuan shook his head “He just beca, he would need to spend a long period of tithened by his new body I had thought that his soul would be fairly weak,to capture hih I suppose I really have grown old”
“Ji Ning is already an established power It won’t be that easy to deal with hi some ‘proof of your loyalty’ I believe you” The Lord of All Fiends looked at Old Man Yuan
