Junior Leopard's fists were hard. His fists were very strong, beyond Lin Xiaoqing's expectation. Under the attack of Junior Leopard's fists, Lin Xiaoqing already knew that he could not hold out for much longer by only using his Gang Qi. This being the case, he might as well fight back!
Without any hesitation, Lin Xiaoqing did not just launch his Gang Qi but he also swung up his fists to strike back, just like Junior Leopard had done.
”Bang, bang, bang—!” Fierce strength flowed all around. Lin Xiaoqing and Junior Leopard backed up about five steps respectively, with stern expressions.
Junior Leopard was surprised that the Level Eight expert had a well-deserved reputation. His Internal Qi was as hard as steel. After peeling off the Gang Qi, every punch reached the opponent's flesh. Junior Leopard clearly felt that his fists were full of irony Internal Qi. Even if he had used the Heavenly Jade Technique, an incredible addition strength in the view of common people, he was just on par with Lin Xiaoqing. Unless he could create Critical Hit by combining the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, his fist strength alone could not do anything to Lin Xiaoqing.
Actually, Junior Leopard was at a disadvantage during the fist fight.
With the addition of the Heavenly Jade Technique, his fist strength could, or the time being, confront Lin Xiaoqing. However, there was a big gap between them; their body strength.
One was at Level Seven while the other was at Level Eight!
There was a big difference between them in terms of their body strength. A Level Eight expert's body could harbor the steel Internal Qi. It was way stronger than a Level Seven expert.
After dozens of fist fights, Junior Leopard felt that his fists were weak. Not only were his fists fragile, but also his two arms were numb.
”The Level Eight expert was really worthy of the reputation. If I had my two big hammers at hand, I could have been at an advantage. Now I'm afraid that I can't make it!” Junior Leopard said to himself. However, he did not regret anything because everything had met his expectation.
They punched each other a while longer. Junior Leopard felt that he was not very lucky today; it seemed that there was no sign of the Critical Hit. If it went on like this, even if the Critical Hit appeared, he did not dare to use it. After all, his fists could not bear such power anymore.
Such being the case, his fist trend changed; suddenly, they were soft, and he did not directly resist Lin Xiaoqing fists anymore.
”Hum?”
Lin Xiaoqing was a little bit shocked. He stepped back abruptly. Without noticing, Junior Leopard's fists had already smacked in Lin Xiaoqing's face. His face was not the same as his fists. No matter how hard the face was, it would suffer great pain from Junior Leopard's fist attack. Lin Xiaoqing had to step aside quickly, which made him lose a good opportunity.
Junior Leopard displayed his punching skill to the full extent.
When Junior Leopard was working his punching skill, Lin Xiaoqing was not as optimistic as before.
Lin Xiaoqing was from the Tian Long Taoism and had a high cultivation. Since he reached Level Seven twenty years ago, he had not been in a fight for a long time. Even if sometimes he encountered an opponent, he would use his Gang Qi to go head to head with his opponent. For those who had a higher cultivation than him, he, of course, could not win. In contrast, those who had a lower cultivation would quit earlier under the power of his Gang Qi.
He had never met a person like Junior Leopard who could strangely break through his Gang Qi only by the fists, even when he was still using his Gang Qi.
Generally speaking, smashing the Gang Qi forcibly with the body would happen when a Level Nine expert fought against a Level Eight expert or when a Level Eight expert fought a Level Seven expert. Now the reverse was happening.
He was unfortunate. The Frost Gang Qi that he had practiced was a top-level Gang Qi in the world, but he had crossed paths with Junior Leopard, who had the Poison Cold Shield. In terms of its nature, the Poison Cold Shield possessed the function of intensifying its power by absorbing the Evil Qi. Besides, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead had been used for practicing the Poison Cold Shield. Therefore, Junior Leopard, as a result of owning the Poison Cold Shield, was not afraid of any poisonous things or any Evil Qi on earth. The Evil Qi in Lin Xiaoqing's Frost Gang Qi was at a high level, but this also made it a good supplement for the Poison Cold Shield.
Although the Frost Gang Qi, other than just hurting the opponents with the Evil Qi, could also attack and defend plus other good functions, Junior Leopard's Heavenly Jade Technique was very tough. His fist strength was so powerfully frightening that Lin Xiaoqing had no chance to give a counterattack using the Gang Qi. A shower of punches made Lin Xiaoqing's Gang Qi weak.
His Gang Qi could not withstand but it didn't really matter. When a Level Eight expert fought with a Level Seven expert, even if he did not have the Gang Qi, he still had the upper hand. Junior Leopard had strange Internal Qi and a strong cultivation method, but the difference of their body strength was easily visible. Lin Xiaoqing's advantage was obvious.
However, Junior Leopard was good at playing the punching skill!
It was a pity that Lin Xiaoqing had not fought with others for many years. He had not practiced his old Kung Fu for a long time. This time, he was sort of stunned when Junior Leopard approached him.
Junior Leopard's three continuous punching attacks missed Lin Xiaoqing by a tiny inch. But being a Level Eight expert, Lin Xiaoqing was flexible, so he easily evaded the punches each time. When he dodged, his footsteps levitated a bit and this revealed his numbers to Junior Leopard.
”This guy is not skilled in the punching skill!”
Seeing this, Junior Leopard did not hold back anymore. He opened his arms sending forth a whiff of weird and remote Qi Power from his body.
”Fist intent!”
Lin Xiaoqing felt the surrounding atmosphere become eccentric; earlier he had been scrambling on his feet and now his face took on a ghastly expression.
Zhou Bao had insights on the fist intent. He learned this earlier on. Nevertheless, he was skeptical when he first heard about it.
”Intent” was an extremely mysterious thing!
If one wanted to comprehend the intent, he had to satisfy at least two conditions. First, he had to possess the divine thoughts and had to also feel them. Second, he had to have a deep understanding in certain skills. It would be better if he could have a sudden enlightenment and apprehend its essence, then he could likely produce the intent.
He was already 58 years old. He became a Level Seven expert when he was 38 years old; his divine thoughts initially formed when he was 39 years old. He once tried to forge his own intent. However, after exploring and striving for five years, he still failed to make any progress, so he gave up. Like other experts, he practiced and grasped his Gang Qi, being Gang Qi-oriented.
It was just for this reason, that he came to realize just how hard it would be for him to condense the intent. Although he did not believe it at the very start, later, when he heard that Junior Leopard had killed Buyan Gerel, he was convinced. He knew Buyan Gerel, an expert at the same level with him. However, Buyan Gerel was much stronger than him with regard to his status and strength on the prairie. The reason was simple, Buyan Gerel figured out his own first intent.
To the experts of the same level, there was a vast difference between those who had condensed the intent and those who had not.
Buyan Gerel could not even be killed with a set of Mysterious Celestial Devices, not to mention that what Junior Leopard had was a set of Psychic Celestial Device, unless he had also condensed the intent.
However, even if Junior Leopard had condensed the intent, Lin Xiaoqing did not care too much because the intent only prevailed among experts of the same level. His cultivation was one level higher than Zhou Bao. He also kept an eye on Zhou Bao's celestial device. Zhou Bao had not condensed the Evil Qi. Although he could display the fist intent, he could not break through his Gang Qi. What else could he do?
It was beyond his expectation that Junior Leopard's fist intent was this terrifying. When Junior Leopard was opposing Lin Xiaoqing's Gang Qi, even if Junior Leopard did not completely display his fist intent, he could already shatter Lin Xiaoqing's Gang Qi. Now Junior Leopard was close to him and displayed his fist intent in full swing. Lin Xiaoqing worried that his Level Eight body could not withstand Junior Leopard.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly; his hand touched his waist, and a pale golden light glinted from his hand.
Junior Leopard was fighting fiercely. All of a sudden, a golden light flashed over his eyes. He stared at the light for a second, and his face changed. It turned out that a golden net had appeared abruptly and was dropping in his direction to catch him.
”This Knot Golden Net was meant to take on your Demon Devil Needles, but you're unexpectedly awesome. You forced me into such a situation without using the Demon Devil Needles!”
”Hum!” Junior Leopard just laughed grimly, lifted his left hand and scratched toward the net. His right hand followed and punched the Knot Golden Net.
”A broken star fist! Break!”
With a strange whoosh, the Knot Golden Net that was used for dealing with the Demon Devil Needles was torn to pieces by this fist.
”Impossible!” Lin Xiaoqing shouted in a peculiar voice. However, before he reacted, Junior Leopard's open hand had already reached him.
Subconsciously, he wanted to withdraw, but to his terror, he found himself in a rum hollow. This hollow was awash with unspeakable power, invisible and massive, which held his shadow firmly in place.
”What's this?”
Junior Leopard's figure disappeared in front of Lin Xiaoqing, while a giant star appeared and crashed him along an abstruse orbit.
The star emerged at a far distance, like twinkling stars near the horizon. For an instant, it came with endless destructive power and bumped right into him.
”Crack, crack—!”
Formidable strength followed; the sound of his skeleton cracking inside his body was clear, like fractured metal.
”What? What's wrong with me? What's happening?”
A blazing liquid burst out from the inside.The intense pain brought him out of his bewilderment.
”I am hurt. My rib is broken. I lost!”
