209 Liu Li Will Always Live in My Hear (1/2)
Sadness was also a form of damage, however, A Xia was too late to think about it.
Purely on the amount of damage alone, these two fists from Wang Lu, though heavy, were not fatal. The deadlier one was the inherited injuries from the real Tiger King that he had suppressed earlier.
Though A Xia had successfully swapped bodies with Tiger King, his foundation as a Jindan Stage could not really make good use of Yuanying Stage power. According to his own speculation, without cultivating for ten years, he couldn’t even make use fifty percent of Tiger King’s original strength—of course, compared to his original body, he was much more powerful. Unfortunately, at this time, his body had sustained serious injuries that he was basically an empty Yuanying Stage. Only now did he realize that he couldn’t even withstand even a single fist of Wang Lu.
After being punched twice in the face, A Xia’s injuries broke out. His internals felt like burning, and his huge tiger head almost burst out tears. He staggered back non-stop.
The Beast Master School Elders beside him were also surprised. They quickly prepared to get rid of Wang Lu to save A Xia. All kinds of spells flashed in succession, which almost covered the sky over the Full Moon Valley.
A Xia was frightened and almost swore as he hastily waved to stop this group of people’s foolish act.
Wang Lu was expert in rebounding injury; if these people went all out, wouldn’t that be the same as trying to kill him? Now, Wang Lu was able to punch him because of the grieving feeling, but if those ten spells landed on him, by his resonant method of transmission, he would be dead for sure!
From the beginning, A Xia didn’t expect to be able to defeat the opponent head-on. For the successor disciples of the Five Unique of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, over rank fight was a quite common occurrence. He must use other ways to deal with Wang Lu.
”You don’t want the antidote to cure Liu Li!?”
This was A Xia’s card. The poisoned dagger in cat girl Ling Yan’s hand was personally handed over to her by him, therefore, naturally, only A Xia has the antidote. As long as he used the antidote to coerce the other side, he was not afraid of him at all. In fact, the more angry Wang Lu was, the more it showed that he really cared about Liu Li. And the more he cared, naturally the easier for him to submit.
Unfortunately, A Xia really didn’t understand Wang Lu.
”Don’t want it.”
Bam!
In A Xia’s boundless consternation, the third heavy punch was launched at him. At this time, because he was already prepared, A Xia immediately transferred the magical power to let him fly backward. However, unexpectedly, from the two previous punches, his Jade Mansion was in flame, so he actually couldn’t use his magical power as he pleased! He inherited the Nascent Soul and flesh of Tiger King, and the Cloud Dragon Wing was also from Tiger King, thus the Imperial Wind was almost instinctive. However, at this moment, the wind power was in disarray, completely unable to help him dodge!
In a hurry, A Xia managed to lean his head, and Wang Lu’s fist just grazed his cheek. Immediately, the ferocious tiger head swelled on one side. At the same time, A Xia felt that in his Jade Mansion, the fusion of his dao’s heart and that of Tiger King’s purple-black was lit up. Very quickly, it would turn into a complete mess, and vaguely there were signs of melting of the purple-red Yuanying.
Under enormous pain, A Xia was nearly paralyzed. He began to lose control of his magical power and mortal body. The only thing that he could do was to suppress it before it could erupt. Unable to move, he managed to open his mouth, ”Stop. Do you really want Liu Li to die? Do you think Zen Master Dog Meat could save her life? Only I can solve that poison. In a moment, if she doesn’t take the antidote, she would die without a doubt!”
”Idiot.”
Wang Lu’s voice was cold and sarcastic. After those three punches, the anger in his heart had slightly subsided, and he no longer could wield that fist of the burning heart.
Different from A Xia’s imagination, sadness was simply not a kind of injury. Just now, Wang Lu had used the Nameless Sword resonance ability to orient the Jade Mansion fire towards the opponent; he actually had skirted around the edges of the boundary of the demon oath.
However, the demon oath did not allow him to skirt around the edges. Wang Lu’s target and control restriction were determined by himself, so it was impossible for all the cognitive fraud to deceive his own heart. Moreover, as a self-restriction, the Big Heart Demon Oath itself was a zero-sum game; the reward of the oath came exactly from the restriction! Even if the demon heart punishment was not triggered after deceiving oneself, the reward from the oath would still be lost!
Even if it were merely treading on the edges, all would be greatly shaken by this Big Heart Demon Oath. However, in Wang Lu’s life planning, the existence of this Big Heart Demon Oath was extremely necessary. Therefore, if he wanted both, there was only one way to do it. Frankly accepting the fact that it had trodden on the edges, and also frankly accepting the punishment from the heart demon. The heart demon seizes life, thus, he burned his life as a sacrifice to the heart demon until it was satisfied.
Of course, life was precious and fragile, directly igniting it was tantamount to suicide, thus, Wang Lu chose a compensatory road.
”... Innate vital energy was a really good stuff.”
Wang Lu secretly sighed in his heart. If his Master didn’t teach him this little trick, there really was no way to sidestep the Big Heart Demon Oath to hurt the enemy. However, it was also no wonder that prior to him going down the mountain, his Master repeatedly warned him earnestly, ”You can use vital energy to tread the edge of the oath, but you can’t directly break the oath. Otherwise, you’d be dead!”
It was indeed so. Just now, from those three punches alone, for each punch, the demon heart had taken ten years of his lifespan! The binding force of the Big Heart Demon Oath was truly frightening. Merely treading on the edges for three times alone had cost him thirty years of his lifespan! If he had directly broken the oath, by brandishing the Sword of Mount Kun at the opponent, perhaps in one strike, Wang Lu’s current several hundred years of lifespan would instantly be squandered.
However, from Wang Lu’s point of view, the thirty years price was worth it.
