Chapter 2121 - 2122: Flight and Escape

This clearly shows that the elder places great importance on Ling Zhenfei, and the advantage of using the Heart-pursuing Item for long-range attacks is naturally to stay away from the battlefield.

Theoretically, the attack range of this Heart-pursuing Item is as large as one's own Divine Sense, but most people can't achieve this because the two aren't exactly the same concept.

In fact, from Ling Zhenfei's perspective, the reason many people can't kill with a sword from such a distance is simply because they haven't cultivated to the proper Realm.

Today, people feel extremely strong after reaching the Pursue Heart State, but the cultivators of the past were very powerful, with several other Realms beyond the Pursue Heart State.

Now it seems unattainable, but who knows if those records of Flight and Escape are real or not.

Perhaps, when cultivation reaches higher stages, true Flight and Escape might be possible, it's entirely possible.

At this moment, the elder attacked Ling Zhenfei using both hands.

The advantage of this is that there is no delay in the change of techniques and it can be controlled more subtly.

Ling Zhenfei is very certain about this, as he just used a Heart-pursuing Item to attack and discovered this issue.

The Heart-pursuing Item indeed seems connected to the intention, but fundamentally, it is connected to one's own spiritual sense, controlled by the thought.

However, the finesse achieved through wrist control isn't possible in techniques.

Seeing the elder controlling his large sword with both hands, Ling Zhenfei naturally also used his hands to control his Tang sword's attack.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei immediately use Iaido combined with his own spirit energy to attack.

The spirit energy in the Iaido was blocked by the elder, and Ling Zhenfei immediately countered with the Boundless Blade Technique.

The Boundless Blade Technique changed several times in succession, fiercely attacking the elder.

The elder's sword was a long-handled sword, often needing to be held with both hands, and its spirit energy was extremely powerful.

The Boundless Blade Technique focuses on using one's own spirit energy to vary moves, while the elder's swordsmanship emphasizes great swings, with each move extremely powerful.

Ling Zhenfei was astonished, the spirit energy coverage area on the large sword was very broad, sometimes even directly breaking the moves of the Boundless Blade Technique.

As the saying goes, overwhelming strength can overcome ten techniques, meaning if your strength is sufficient, no matter how exquisite the opponent's techniques are, they won't be effective.

Now Ling Zhenfei encountered such a problem. In theory, the Boundless Blade Technique is very exquisite, but against this strong spiritual-energies-based attack, Ling Zhenfei had no solution.

No matter how exquisite your moves are, they will be destroyed by powerful spirit energy.

Condensing spirit energy in his left hand, Ling Zhenfei thrust the Sky Piercing Finger towards the elder.

This elder's strength was in the late Pursue Heart State, substantially stronger than Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei's Sky Piercing Finger thrust towards the elder.

The elder turned his left hand into a fist and punched towards the Sky Piercing Finger.

This fist was imbued with abundant spirit energy, colliding directly with the power of Ling Zhenfei's Sky Piercing Finger!

Boom! After a collision, both sides' spirit energy dissipated into nothingness.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, confirming the elder's strength was indeed formidable.

The elder sneered, saying, "Did you think I would be so easily defeated? Let me show you my strength now."

With those words, he punched at Ling Zhenfei, who wasn't afraid and said, "So you want to compare spirit energy with me, bring it on."

Ling Zhenfei loved spirit energy clashes the most; the power of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists was exceptional, and among those in the same Realm, he feared no one.

The elder punched towards him, and Ling Zhenfei unleashed his spirit energy, meeting the elder's fist.

Just then, from behind, Murong Liuqing shouted, "Watch out for his elemental power!"

Ling Zhenfei hadn't yet understood Murong Liuqing's warning. Who would've thought that the elder's fist suddenly burst into flames, even the spirit energy he released bore flames.

Ling Zhenfei was alarmed, never imagining the elder could wield elemental power.

Yet, Ling Zhenfei had already thrown his punch, making it difficult to change course.

Boom, the fists collided, and Ling Zhenfei immediately felt a scorching force resisting his spirit energy, then attacking him with fiery fervor.

The scorching force crawled from Ling Zhenfei's hand up his arm.

This Fire Element is a skill that burns spirit energy, different from imagined flames burning wood.

Ordinary fires can be doused with water, but not the Fire Element; regular water can't extinguish it.

Ling Zhenfei was greatly alarmed, feeling the pain and hurriedly sent out another wave of spirit energy, using it to repel those Fire Elements.

But the elder would not waste such a prime offensive opportunity, bringing down a powerful strike engulfed in spirit energy from above.

Ling Zhenfei, while using his spirit energy to extinguish the Elemental Fire, simultaneously defended against the elder's powerful move.

Due to the terror of the Fire Element's attack, Ling Zhenfei's spirit energy was split in two, a bit hastily, and the move sent Ling Zhenfei flying back several meters before he could stand firm.

Ling Zhenfei looked at the elder with lingering fear, recalling having seen a Winged Elf use elemental power, with Earth Element shields and Wood Element underground arrays.

Perhaps because those elves were too weak, so the elemental power seemed weak and not very destructive, but Ling Zhenfei just sampled the Fire Element's might and felt fearful.

This fear is the fear of the unknown, intensely painful because of the lack of understanding.

Previously, Ling Zhenfei didn't know what elemental power meant or how to deal with it. Murong Liuqing and others suffered significant losses, perhaps for the same reason, maybe elemental power isn't scary, but he didn't know how to handle it, how to counterattack, what the opponent's next move might be.

"Not bad, kid, to still fight back after taking my punch, very good, very good."

The elder was evidently proud after knocking Ling Zhenfei back with a punch.

Ling Zhenfei also smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to use elemental power. Given this, I need to be even more careful."

Feeling several strands of spirit energy coming his way, Ling Zhenfei knew there was no time to drag it out and needed to defeat his opponent quickly.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei combined the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists with the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades to attack the elder.

If the elder favored spirit energy duels, then so be it, Ling Zhenfei would use this method to push him back.

Left hand with the second punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, right hand with the third blade of the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades, the blade technique derived from the fist technique, forming a unique set, each augmenting the power of the other.

Ling Zhenfei's plan was to use his powerful spirit energy to drive the elder back from a distance.

The elder's elemental power was overwhelmingly strong, something Ling Zhenfei couldn't withstand.

Elemental power was still a very unfamiliar thing to Ling Zhenfei.

Earlier, that Fire Element crawled up his arm along his spirit energy, and it took even more spirit energy from Ling Zhenfei to drive those flames away.
