Chapter 178 - Cunning! (1/2)

In the martial world, the goal in life was to get rid of the enemy in one's way as soon as possible.

Split the mountains and crush your adversaries. Power was the key, and the more power you possess the more you can live at peace.

Only doctors, alchemists, and physicians ever train in the way of the medicine to help others or themselves. But in the longest time that Wang Ling had stayed in the martial world, other than the elves and some spirit beasts, he had not seen a cultivator with a technique that could heal.

Why heal when you can take care of your opponents in one hit? Wang Ling had the same way of thinking all those years ago. But after unlocking the Holy Lord bloodline, Wang Ling received the ability to regenerate faster.

That alone was good enough. But after playing with his flames and his bloodline, Wang Ling managed to for the second form of the Heavenly Flames.

A technique that provides both defense and regeneration to the user, a technique that was both tiring to use but also a refreshing thing.

Wang Ling had cuts all over him from that previous assault but with his body being wrapped in white flames from head to toe. His qi was being burned at a fast rate. What's more, is that the flames was uncontrollably flickering around resulting in the surrounding trees to catch fire.

Not wanting the flames to run amok, Wang Ling had no choice but to activate his bloodline and increase his control on the flames.

Consequently, activating his bloodline did not cause any harm for Wang Ling as it increases the effects of his angelic qi, elemental manipulation, regeneration, and overall mental capabilities.

He could feel his control towards the Heavenly Flames to strengthen and its rate of regeneration also significantly increased, ”Once this is over, I'll start with the second ignition of the Heavenly Flames and the Hell Flames.”

Wang Ling looked up at Xiao Jianfa and took in deep breathes. Xiao Jianfa's attacks were sharp and were hard to follow. If he wanted to fight without worry, he needs the Shroud of Sanctifying Blaze to release from the cage of being pressured.

With that said, Wang Ling circulated his hellish qi together with his angelic qi and masked its presence from Xiao Jianfa. With that hellish qi running through his meridians and energizing his muscles, Wang Ling felt power.

His muscles bulged out and his ocular capabilities began to increase multiple folds.

He crouched downwards and with both hands resting on the side, the ground cracked and an explosion that rocked the mountains boomed and Wang Ling's figure reappeared in front of Xiao Jianfa as if he was a beast pouncing at his prey.

Xiao Jianfa did not miss Wang Ling coming for him and as he saw Wang Ling moving like a missile out to get him, he bursts out laughing, ”Good! Come at me with all your might!”

The earlier feeling of danger that haunted Xiao Jianfa disappeared, it was replaced by the powerful intent to fight the swordsman in front of him.

Xiao Jianfa slashed down at Wang Ling with his sword. A gust of wind followed the descend of Xiao Jianfa's sword. Wang Ling chose to dodge Xiao Jianfa's sword as he twisted his body.

Wang Ling poised himself to stab Xiao Jianfa in the neck. Xiao Jianfa used his left hand and punched Wang Ling's left hand upwards deflecting the blow but not entirely as the short sword managed to graze him near the eye.

Wang Ling felt his left hand numbed, but with the Shroud of Sanctifying Blaze, Wang Ling managed to quickly shake off the numbness.

With the numbness out of Wang Ling's hands. He quickly moved both hands towards Xiao Jianfa's nape. Holding him on the back of his head, Wang Ling gathered his sword qi into his knee and shot forth towards Xiao Jianfa.
