I Can See Your Combat Power

: : Flee in Defeat

The ten strikes of the Divine Wood combusted in mid-air, blasting two of the Rulai Golden Palms into countless golden rays, like a shattered sun.

Under the response of the Mi Clan’s Martial Ancestor, four combined strikes from the Tang Clan obliterated two, leaving the remaining two Rulai to smash mercilessly into the green phantom. Although Mi Hu’s Qingmu Battle Body was impressive, his attempt to protect everyone with one person’s power was insufficient and soon, like a sheet of glass, it shattered under the weight of the two Rulai Golden Palms.

Yet Mi Hu’s Qingmu Battle Body had bought the rest of his people time to recover. If they could withstand these two combined attacks, they would be able to activate the Xuanji Jade and escape.

The exploding Rulai painted the world in golden hues, a pillar of gold that pushed aside floating clouds and heavy snow. The earth trembled under the intense Spiritual Pressure, mountains split, and the ensuing tremor triggered avalanches in several valleys around them.

The golden shockwave wiped out everything on the mountain, whether rock or tree, reducing it to powder under the impact and blowing it away.

Despite the intensity of the shockwave, the Fierce Realm’s powerful beings could still resist it. But trying to withstand the huge light pillar from the exploding Rulai had left Mi Hu and his comrades severely wounded, leaving them defenseless against the onslaught of the golden shockwave.

They could only stimulate their spiritual armors, maximizing their power. They planned to activate the Xuanji Jade and retreat as soon as the shockwave dissipated.

But they hadn’t noticed that the ones suffering from the Rulai’s shockwave weren’t just their alliance. The golden shockwave, like a broom, pushed aside the snow and revealed a few people a few hundred meters away.

The Great Elder Tang Siyuan, the Old Tang Hongtao from the Secret Arts Pavilion, the Second Elder Tang Hongjun, the Vice Captain of the Guard Tang Zhen, and Tang Yi, the General of the Divine Martial Army!

The five of them had set their ambush several hundred meters away from Mi Hu’s alliance, and like Mi Hu, had stealthily advanced from beneath the snow, awaiting their moment at designated locations.

Willing to sacrifice for the sake of the clan weren’t only the Mi Clan’s top warriors. But only one side could reap the rewards!

The Tang Clan’s top-tier Martial Ancestors also found themselves enveloped in the golden shockwave. The released Spirit Art didn’t care if its targets were allies or enemies, its purpose was simply to destroy and inflict damage.

Contrary to Mi Hu and his comrades who received the brunt of the attack, the impact on the Tang Clan members was negligible!

With the golden shockwave as a cover, the real deadly move of this ambush was about to start.

The Great Elder Tang Siyuan directed a thumbs-up towards Mi Hu in the distance. A golden light pierced through the sky and the impact wave of Rulai, shooting towards Mi Hu.

At this critical moment, Mi Hu sensed danger and tried to solidify his blood to use a secret technique, but the golden light was too fast. He could only turn the remaining spiritual power into a helmet, protecting his brain and neck.

For the Fierce Realm’s warriors, even having their heart pierced wouldn’t lead to instant death. With the Rulai’s aftereffect nearing its end, as long as he endured this one hit, he could activate the Xuanji Jade and escape using the protection of the Qingmu Battle Body!

Quick as Mi Hu’s response was, he misjudged Tang Siyuan’s target. Tang Siyuan didn’t intend from the start to kill Mi Hu with a single hit. Instead, he targeted where Mi Hu’s right arm was connected to his body. And the Extreme Sharp Finger Force he used wasn’t at max power. So almost immediately after the first finger was released, Tang Siyuan changed hands and executed the second finger, this time targeting where Mi Hu’s left arm was connected.

Two streaks of golden light flashed past one after another, easily penetrating Mi Hu’s spiritual armor and blowing both his arms off. However, instead of feeling stunned, Mi Hu was somewhat relieved.

Compared to the difficulty of regenerating internal organs, regenerating severed limbs was nothing. All he needed to do was activate the Xuanji Jade and escape.

The same situation occurred to the top-tier Martial Ancestors Mi Chun, Mi Xing, Mi Yuan, and Mi Shun. After their limbs were blown off, their remains were completely erased by the shockwave. But strangely, their faces were lit up with inexplicable smiles.

After all, as top-tier warriors, who had not experienced limb regeneration a few times? They handled the situation with ease.

Yet, the sudden appearance of the silver giant in the golden shockwave seemed to suggest that this limb loss experience might be quite different!

Having achieved their strategic goal, Tang Siyuan and others were recovering while resisting the aftermath of Rulai. They then noticed Tang Luo, the Chief Guard, descending from the sky.

Transformed into a silver giant with his Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique in full gear, Tang Luo shot into the shockwave like a silver flash. The impact wave, comparable to a top-tier Transcendental Spirit Art, had no effect on Tang Luo’s Undying Battle Body.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

However, the surprise appearance of this giant managed to attract the attention of Mi Hu and his group. When they turned their heads, they could only see a silver phantom.

Phantom Flash!

Tang Luo had no intention to confront the top-tier Martial Ancestors from Mi Clan directly. Even though the strongest of them had lost their arms, he had no intention of testing their combat skills. All he wanted to do was to act like a savior in the spirit of the ‘contemporary Bethune’, healing the enemies.

In light of this noble sentiment, even though performing the Phantom Step in the form of the Undying Battle giant presented a huge drain, he did not hesitate in the slightest!

He flickered to Mi Hu’s side, gently touched his back with his giant palm, and infused a huge amount of Innate Qi before being kicked away!

The undeterred ‘Bethune Tang’ was unfazed by the enemy’s ungrateful actions. He forcefully performed the Phantom Step, pushing himself in front of Mi Chun, the Deputy Commander of the Phoenix Feather Guard, and slapped his hand down.

Almost simultaneously, the silver giant was kicked in the chest by Mi Chun and spun away.

The altruistic Tang Luo, unfazed by the golden shockwaves or the continued assaults from his ‘patients’, persisted in healing the bodies of the five top-tier Martial Ancestors while getting repeatedly kicked away.

Tang Siyuan, who had rushed over to rescue him, dragged his body and dissolved the internal energy.

As the aftermath of Rulai’s shockwave dissipated, it revealed the Phoenix Feather Guard’s alliance. The four guard Martial Ancestors who had performed the Rulai also fell one by one, surrounding Mi Hu and the others.

Already aware that a surprise attack would be ineffective, and with his arms severed, Mi Hu glanced at the severely wounded Mi Qing and Mi An who had fallen to the ground, and ordered decisively, “Activate Qingmu protective body, retreat!”

Quick as Tang Siyuan and others were to react, the Extreme Sharp Finger Force and Sky-picking Hand were Spiritual Power-draining skills. Even if they consolidated their Spiritual Power, they couldn’t pierce through Mi Hu and his comrades’ protective Spiritual Power. So, they only launched a few symbolic Spirit Arts, unable to break Mi Hu and his team’s protective techniques.

Ever since the Xuanji Jade appeared, it had been harder and harder to assassinate great family Martial Ancestors, unless it was an assassination. On a battlefield, as long as they can keep their distance, they can use the Xuanji Jade to almost guarantee their immortality.

Unless there are some top-tier Combat Art Masters who can always stay close to the enemy and do close combat or hit deadly blows, normal Martial Ancestor combats are usually more than ten meters apart, always leaving room to use the Xuanji Jade.
