Chapter 316 - 249: 9 Acupoints (Part 2)

Perhaps that was the mystery of the Divine General realm.

And now, the abilities and Secret Transmission Wang Sea was displaying seemed to be related to it.

The Secret Transmission of the Cyan Dragon Sect truly is valuable!

Numerous thoughts flashed through Zhao Xuanqi’s mind in an instant, and at the same time, the attacks from Wang Sea’s three figures descended.

’If I can’t tell which is real, I’ll just smash them all!’

The savage grin on Zhao Xuanqi’s face widened.

ROAR!!

A great roar erupted from within his body. His Qi and Blood surged, and his heart, five viscera, and various acupoints throbbed violently, emitting bestial snarls.

A terrifying power exploded forth, erupting from a state of stillness.

SPURT!!

Blood sprayed from his pores, forming a spreading mist. This was a phenomenon caused by the Force Release being so violent that his capillaries ruptured.

As the blood mist appeared, it was enhanced by a rainbow glow. A Flaming Qilin took form out of thin air, looking so solid it was terrifying, as if it could devour all things.

Fire Qilin!!

Zhao Xuanqi unleashed his strongest explosive technique. A terrifying Gang Qi instantly covered a nearly ten-meter radius, completely enveloping the three attacking figures.

Firm, fierce, and full of overbearing fury!!

BOOM!!

The three figures had no way to dodge and were instantly engulfed by the Fire Qilin. Two of the figures exploded on contact, while Wang Sea’s real body was sent flying backward. Blood trickled from his nose and mouth, and his eyes filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that the explosive power of Zhao Xuanqi’s attack could be so immense.

WHOOSH!!

But Zhao Xuanqi had no intention of stopping. After blasting Wang Sea away, he let his Qi and Blood surge to suppress the backlash from his own attack, instantly adjusted his state, and shot toward Wang Sea once more.

Earth Demon’s Seventy-Two Transformations!!

This time, it was a flurry of attacks like a raging storm, ever-changing and seemingly inexhaustible!

Wang Sea tried several times to use the Illusory Dragon Step to dodge and create distance, but he failed every time. Zhao Xuanqi’s flawless barrage of attacks didn’t even give him a chance to breathe.

Wang Sea was a generational talent, born with a connection to the Ghost God realm, and had reached Harmony at twenty-three. He was comparable to the prodigies of Martial History. Although he appeared amicable and uninterested in fame, in his heart, he was deeply proud.

Without such pride, it would be impossible for someone so young to reach his current realm.

For Wang Sea to say he had no desire to contend with Zhao Xuanqi was an impossibility. Now that they were fighting and he was being completely suppressed, that feeling of unwillingness to accept defeat grew even stronger.

"Cyan Dragon... Dharma Aspect!!!"

Blood spurted from Wang Sea’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose as the Divine Court acupoint on his forehead bulged.

Zhao Xuanqi’s expression shifted. A sense of danger arose in his heart, and he abruptly broke off his chain of attacks and retreated instantly.

BOOM!!

A terrifying cyan light burst from Wang Sea’s body, coalescing into the form of a Cyan Dragon.

Zhao Xuanqi’s expression grew serious. The form of the Cyan Dragon was so vivid it was almost real. What surprised him most was that the dust on the ground was swept up by the cyan light and began to float in the air.

A powerful expert could use their aura to stir the magnetic field, manifest a rainbow glow, and turn illusion into reality. But even so, affecting minuscule dust particles was nearly impossible. It would require leveraging properties like temperature to truly affect physical matter.

But now, even though the ability Wang Sea displayed only affected dust, its implications were entirely different.

This was a change in the level of power itself.

His opponent’s Spiritual Power could manipulate dust. That meant if he could break through an opponent’s magnetic field defense, he could affect the minute particles inside their body, inflicting substantial physical damage with his spiritual aura alone.

"Senior Brother!!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yunfei’s expression changed drastically.

The Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect was the strongest Secret Technique of the Cyan Dragon Sect. Only those who could enter the Nine Dragon Cave and emerge unscathed would have a chance to cultivate it.

Within the sect, no one had been able to condense the Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect for nearly a century.

Wang Sea was the first person from the Cyan Dragon Sect to do so in a hundred years.

However, the power of the Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect was too intense, almost reaching the legendary ancient Taoist School realm of Yang Spirit Manipulation, where a single thought could take a person’s life.

Even Wang Sea had to pay a considerable price, able to maintain the Dharma Aspect for less than ten breaths, or his head would likely explode.

This was not an ability that should be mastered at the Harmony stage of the Ghost God Realm.

ROAR!!

The Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect appeared, and a rainbow glow shot toward the heavens. The weather changed—dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed. Even from ten kilometers away, one could see a cyan light ascending, forming a Dragon Form of incredible mystique. Not even the Heaven-Locking Array could contain such a phenomenon.

Within Jinmen, countless people witnessed this scene. Martial Artists from all over the country had gathered for the World Martial Banquet, and all were shocked by the sight.

"A Cyan Dragon soars to the heavens, a celestial omen! This is a technique of the Cyan Dragon Sect, the leader of the civilian Martial Arts Realm!"

"The Cyan Dragon Sect has gone to the Martial Arts Association?! Well, it makes sense. With such a major event, a world-altering change, there’s no way the Cyan Dragon Sect would just stand by and watch!"

"The Cyan Dragon Sect is as elusive as a divine dragon, but every one of their successors is a stunning talent. Over a decade ago, during the battle to destroy Qian Yi in Shangjing, I was fortunate enough to witness the techniques of the Cyan Dragon Sect’s strongest expert from afar. But neither the form nor the power of that technique can compare to this. It seems the Cyan Dragon Sect has produced an extraordinary figure."

"I wonder if they’re here to show support or to cause trouble."

"..."

Heroes from all corners had gathered in Jinmen. Many experts, some of whom had even participated in the battle to destroy Qian Yi over a decade ago, instantly recognized the origin of the phenomenon. Their expressions shifted slightly, uncertain of the Cyan Dragon Sect successor’s intentions. Judging by the situation, did they not come with friendly intentions toward the Martial Arts Association?

"Face this technique. It will decide the victor between us. If you win, my Cyan Dragon Sect will stand with you."

Wang Sea said in a low voice.

"Make your move."

Zhao Xuanqi’s expression was calm as he looked at the enormous Cyan Dragon in the sky.

After his initial surprise, once he understood the essence of his opponent’s technique, he was no longer afraid.

"Go!!"

Wang Sea gave a low command, and the circling Cyan Dragon dove abruptly toward Zhao Xuanqi, its massive jaws opening to swallow him whole.

It was utterly unavoidable, but Zhao Xuanqi had no intention of dodging anyway.

ROAR!!

The terrifying magnetic field, capable of influencing minuscule dust particles, acted upon Zhao Xuanqi’s body. A silver light shimmered on his skin as his Qilin’s Intent activated.

However, the defensive aura Zhao Xuanqi formed around his body could not stop the invasion of his opponent’s ability. The cyan light penetrated his body and began to take effect.

It influenced his cells and the minute elements within his body. If it were an ordinary Harmony expert, terrifying vibrations would have formed inside their body in a short time, and their combat power would have been instantly dismantled.

CLACK!

But at that moment, Zhao Xuanqi actually took a step forward. Then, as if completely unaffected, he walked step by step toward Wang Sea, pushing against the nearly solidified Cyan Dragon Dharma Aspect.

’How is that possible?! It can’t affect his body?!’

Wang Sea’s pupils contracted. As his will penetrated his opponent’s body, it felt like gripping a steel pillar—impossible to bend or influence. A formidable power was fighting back against him, and he could not shake his opponent’s control over his own body.

It was an incredibly powerful will, a will that surpassed the realm of strength Zhao Xuanqi was currently displaying!

"My will cannot be fully manifested due to the limitations of my Physical Ability, but if you think you can fight me for control over the subtleties within my own body, you’ve made a grave miscalculation."

Zhao Xuanqi said calmly.

To destroy Zhao Xuanqi’s body with his will, one would have to completely suppress Zhao Xuanqi’s own will. Unfortunately for Wang Sea, that will had once stood at the peak of Harmony. Although it could not be fully projected due to the limits of his Physical Realm, his control over his own body—now that the hidden danger of Zhao Qi was gone—was as impregnable as a fortress. How could Wang Sea possibly affect it?

SWISH!!

With a single step, Zhao Xuanqi appeared in front of Wang Sea and struck his neck with a Hand Blade.

In an instant, the whites of Wang Sea’s eyes showed. Having lost the advantage of his Spiritual Secret Technique, he was no match for Zhao Xuanqi in terms of Physical Ability.

Zhao Xuanqi reached out and supported Wang Sea’s collapsing body. He quickly felt for several major acupoints on his body before finally placing his fingers on Wang Sea’s wrist, quietly sensing his pulse.

"Just as I thought..."

Zhao Xuanqi muttered to himself.

The Cyan Dragon Sect Secret Technique was not particularly effective for physical conditioning, a tier below that of the Black Tortoise and Bai Hu Gates. However, it was incredibly powerful in training and developing the brain. Several of the Nine Dragon Soul Acupoints in Wang Sea’s head showed signs of modification, but the modifications didn’t seem complete. They couldn’t truly be considered opened acupoints.

It was more like he had found an unconventional path to steal the power of these acupoints.
