Liu Qiang shook his head. “Who told you that you can’t have a strong defense if you have a powerful attack and a strong body?”
“Liu Qiang, have you seen anyone who can perfectly achieve these three points?”
Li Anle asked.
“I truly haven’t.”
Liu Qiang thought for a bit. The energy of humans was limited. If one were involved in many things at once, it was impossible to cultivate them all to the strongest state.
Ling Xiao’s attack power and movement technique had reached the level of a Half Great Master without doubt. Even among the Half Great Masters, he was an outstanding figure.
Just balancing these two aspects was not easy. Very few people could do it.
It was absolutely impossible to achieve such heights in defense too.
Otherwise, would Ling Xiao still be human?
“Well, his defense might not be strong, but it also shouldn’t be too lacking.”
Liu Qian couldn’t insist on his viewpoint.
“Even if his defense is not too lacking, in front of Senior Brother Yang’s attack, as long as his defenses haven’t reached the level of a Half Great Master, he will be killed instantly. Do you believe it or not?”
Li Anle smiled triumphantly.
Originally, he had been a little worried, but after such an analysis, his confidence in Yang Cheng increased sharply.
Liu Qiang didn’t speak. He had been defeated by Yang Cheng, so he knew how strong Yang Cheng’s attack was.
Now that Yang Cheng’s <Wind Cloud Art> had broken through to the sublimity realm, his attack would only be stronger.
“Alas, can it be that this Ling Xiao is also just a suddenly rising meteor that will soon fall?”
Liu Qiang hoped that Ling Xiao would break the convention from the bottom of his heart, not just because he had lost to Yang Cheng and wanted revenge, but more importantly, he felt that if someone could break this convention, he might also be able to accomplish it.
It could be regarded as boosting his confidence.
However, after the analysis of Li Anle and the other quasi-inner disciples, he instantly lost hope.
Yes, after all, he was just a flash in the pan.
How could a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master be the opponent of a Half Great Master?
Defense was his fatal weakness!
“Ling Xiao, your complacency ends here! I admit that I underestimated you, but now, you will suffer my most ruthless retaliation! I will make you know the price of injuring a quasi-inner disciple!”
Yang Cheng’s injuries had already healed.
As long as his limbs weren’t severed, this kind of recovery was not a big deal for Half Great Masters.
Immediately afterward, he released a crazy amount of true essence, and his huge sword wrapped in a fierce wind screamed behind him. It obviously made people feel more fear than before.
At that moment, Yang Cheng’s aura rose to the extreme.
In fact, he expelled the vague feeling of a Transcendent Realm martial artist.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He had to say that the current Yang Cheng was indeed stronger than before.
“Gudong!”
The onlookers swallowed a mouthful of saliva again, waiting for the next scene.
“Wind Cloud Dragon Transformation-Wind Rain Dragon Roar!”
Yang Cheng slowly raised his sword. At this moment, there was no one else in his eyes. Ling Xiao was completely locked onto by his aura.
Above the sword, a layer of true essence that seemed to have become a true substance hovered.
Compress!
Compress!
Compress again!
This true essence had been compressed to the extreme limit and could explode at any time.
Roar~~
As Yang Cheng swung his sword, a dragon’s cry resounded.
No, it could be called a dragon’s roar!
An extremely strange spiral-shaped sword qi burst out of that sword like a circling divine dragon.
Humm~~
The air itself was squashed out of shape.
The spiraling sword qi that originally had been just one foot long unexpectedly exploded when it was two or three meters away from Ling Xiao.
In Ling Xiao’s eyes, he could see a wind dragon tearing through the void and rushing towards him, trying to swallow him completely.
“This Yang Cheng, unexpectedly, not only has his <Wind Cloud Art> has broken through to the sublimity realm, but he has even comprehended <Wind Rain Sword Technique>’s ultimate technique. It seems that Ling Xiao is truly in trouble.”
Elder White sighed. He hadn’t expected that all of Ling Xiao’s works had actually turned into a wedding dress for the other person. Not only had he failed to defeat Yang Cheng, but he had also made Yang Cheng breakthrough the shackles of his internal core law and comprehend a powerful ultimate technique under great pressure.
Under the unprecedentedly powerful ultimate technique, Ling Xiao could feel that the circulation of his true essence stagnate. He also felt as if his chest was being pressed by a huge boulder, and it was difficult to breathe smoothly.
After he was locked onto by this move, he knew that he couldn’t dodge it with his movement technique.
Because the speed of this move was faster than the speed of his movement technique!
You won’t let me dodge it?
Then, I won’t dodge it!
At this moment, what he needed was defense.
Therefore, his martial soul changed again.
Thunder Bear Martial Soul!
Yes, it was another complete martial soul, not an incomplete soul!
After joining Moonlight Sect, he discovered that all the outer disciples of Moonlight Sect had complete martial souls.
At first, he hadn’t understood the reason behind this.
Later, he had asked Hall Master Old Yang. Because of the reappearance of the Landscape Martial Soul, Moonlight Sect’s Moonlight Pagoda had regained its former powers.
As long as one entered Moonlight Sect, an incomplete martial soul would naturally improve rapidly until it became a complete martial soul.
The reason Dai Yuling’s martial soul was already close to completion was also this.
His incomplete martial souls had already been more complete than Dai Yuling’s before.
Therefore, his incomplete souls had already become complete martial souls, but his following improvements weren’t so fast. He still had to take one step at a time.
The Moonlight Pagoda could only make incomplete martial souls become complete.
Ling Xiao believed that the other sects also had similar things.
After activating his Thunder Bear Martial Soul, Ling Xiao didn’t stop strengthening his defense.
<Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, Third Layer——Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor!
<Nine Demon Gods Art-Evil Beast Demon King>——Complete Demonization!
Ling Xiao’s body underwent tremendous changes. At this moment, he resembled a dragon warrior in golden scale armor.
Since it was unsuitable to use swords in this state, he stowed his Floating Snow Sword and aimed his fists at Yang Cheng.
Crackle, crackle!
Thunder and lightning came from the Thunder Bear Martial Soul and wrapped his fists.
No, to be precise, it was a pair of dragon claws.
<Divine Prison King Fist>——Thunderclap Kill Life!
Divine Prison King Fist accompanied by Thunder Bear Martial Soul had its might surge, and its momentum was also not any inferior to Yang Cheng’s sword move.
However, Ling Xiao knew that this move’s function was not to attack the other party but rather to offset a part of the other party’s attack power.
Otherwise, his body might truly be unable to withstand it.
Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded, and a pair of dragon claws wrapped in thunder and lightning hit that wind dragon.
Boom!
The Wind Dragon and dragon claws collided, and the two terrifying energies intertwined. A terrifying true essence vortex suddenly appeared between the two.
The two different true essences intertwined together, and there was actually no distinction to determine who was stronger.
The onlookers below the stage were shaken to the core. They didn’t dare to breathe loudly, but the two people on the stage refused to give up.
Boom!
After a full breath of time, an explosion suddenly resounded.
