I Can See Your Combat Power

Approaching

Although he had anticipated an assassination attempt from the Mi Clan the very first day he arrived at Red Cloud Mountain, facing Mi Yang was an unexpected situation. He felt that it would be a waste to utilize the highest-ranked members of the Mi Clan to assassinate him.

Martial artists, known for their powerful and wide-reaching methods, typically aren’t assassins, which is a very delicate profession. Moreover, he is a particularly difficult target for assassination.

Like Mi Yang’s martial arts style, which is more suitable for a frontal battlefield, just like Tang Sen’s. Their abilities could only be fully utilized on a frontal battlefield. Speaking strictly from an assassination perspective, they’re not even comparable to an ordinary Wind Media specialist.

Typical Wind Media assassination methods include stealth attacks, poisoning, and seduction. But for Tang Luo, these methods are incredibly easy to prepare for.

Regarding stealth attacks, any assassin aiming to kill Tang Luo would need to possess an exceptional level of spiritual power. Regardless of how subtly an assassin practiced the Retractive Breath Technique, it would be as if they didn’t practice it at all in Tang Luo’s eyes.

Anyone seeing a Peak Ascendant with ragged clothes would not hesitate to control him first before dealing with anything else, making a close assassination nearly impossible.

As for poisoning, the most potent poisons are natural. But with his Void Stomach and Yin-Yang Grinding abilities, Tang Luo could withstand even the world’s deadliest poison. To put it bluntly, he could drink poisons like they were water and not face any consequences while the assassins would go bankrupt trying to poison him.

The last method is seduction. For someone like Tang Luo who didn’t even want to go to Miaoyin Square, it was unlikely that any beauty could distract him.

He knew that there were some sects whose cultivation practices made their disciples overwhelmingly charming. But that is merely a type of spirit magic. The Innate Ym-Yang Grinding Mill that is constantly revolving inside him naturally shields him from such spirit attacks.

Hence, assassinating Tang Luo is an impossible task. This also explained why he dared to venture alone to Red Cloud Mountain. However, he didn’t expect the most unlikely assassin, a high-ranking member of the Mi Clan, to attempt to assassinate a young Ascendant, which was quite disappointing for Tang Luo. Despite the challenges, assassinating him with the mighty martial artists is a headache. Unless he was constantly surrounded by a minimum of three to four Fierce Realm guards, he would always feel insecure.

Mi Yang naturally knew that Tang Luo was stalling for time waiting for back-up. His reason for not launching another attack was also due to the need to recover his energy. As the possessor of Divine Wood bloodline, Mi Yang enjoyed two primary types of battlefield.

One was on the land, and the other was in the water. After transforming into the Divine Willow, his roots could draw spiritual power from the land or the water, making him an endless wellspring of spiritual power. But on Red Cloud Mountain, the soil was thin and planting anything was difficult let alone growing a willow. Hence, Mi Yang was using his own spiritual power to sustain his Divine Willow transformation. Even though the fight lasted only for a short while, his spiritual power had been drastically reduced.

It wasn’t just Mi Yang, both Tang Qian and Du Sha were gasping for breath. Even a random swing from the Divine Willow required them to muster all their strength to resist, which resulted in a huge consumption of spiritual power.

Ten kilometers southwest of Red Cloud Mountain:

The Sect Head of the Tang Clan, who was surrounded and attacked, was right in the midst of a fierce spiritual explosion. Engulfed by ghost shadows, he took the full brunt of the attacks from three Fierce Realm squads. Countless swords crossed each other making it impossible to know how many had struck him.

The explosion lasted for a good hundred breaths. The near-exhausted nine Fierce Realm practitioners only managed to fly out of the torrent to stand next to Mi Hai.

“He should be seriously injured after such an attack, even if he were a terrestrial god!” Mi Hai thought to himself as he watched the slowly dispersing smoke and dust.

When the dust finally settled, Tang Sen, who should have been trapped there, had disappeared. Everyone exchanged confused glances, momentarily unsure of what to say.

But Mi Hai looked at the empty sky and laughed, “Gentlemen, we can consider this raid a success. Tang Sen, fearing our assault, used the Xuanji Jade to escape. He should now be a hundred kilometers away and won’t be able to provide support to Red Cloud Mountain anytime soon. As long as we stay here and block the upcoming Tang Clan martial artists, we’ll be fine!”

Listening to the victorious exclamations of Mi Hai and his followers who managed to send Tang Sen flying, the first line of defense consisted of three Fierce Realm squads of the Bai Family and their leader was none other than the Third Elder of the Bai Family, Bai Zhengyuan. He proudly said, “Tang Sen, renowned for his King Realm stature and his indestructible combat god abilities after donning the Qilin armor, is all talk and no action. Faced with my Bai Family’s Grey Cloud Sword formation, he chose to straight up escape instead of fighting back, truly unworthy of the people of Xiling’s praise.” “What Elder Bai said is very true,” said Sect Head Mi Hai, who chimed in. “The Bai Family’s sword array is invincible, and Tang Sen’s choice to avoid it was a smart move. The martial ancestors of the Bai Family may kindly continue to lie in wait in the torrent, ready to trap the martial artists from the Tang Clan.” “Why bother with all that!” said Bai Zhengyuan arrogantly. “If the First Head of the Martial Hall is of this level, what can the martial ancestors of the Tang Clan do? I will wait for them here!”

Listening to Bai Zhengyuan’s words, Mi Hai knew that he had completely lost his mind. He was about to persuade him when he heard a loud booming sound. More accurately, he only heard the friction of the ripping open of the sky after he saw a gas umbrella.

Tang Sen did indeed use the Xuanji Jade, but not the hundred-kilometer one as they had anticipated; instead, he used the ten-kilometer Mysteries Jade. His aim was to break free from them and reach Red Cloud Mountain to support Tang Luo.

By the time Mi Hai heard the booming sound, it was too late to stop anything. He could only watch helplessly as Tang Sen shot towards Red Cloud Mountain like a white streak. Yet his eyes showed little sign of despondency.

That’s because, judging by the timing, Mi Yang should have already succeeded and left with Tang Luo’s head.

Mi Yang’s spiritual power recovery was much faster than Tang Luo had imagined. Just as Tang Qian had steadied his breathing, Mi Yang, wreathed with intimidating aura, descended and charged towards them.

Only when he got closer did they realize that Elder Mi Yang was also a top-tier master of body methods, effectively interchanging between outer and inner energy.

Du Wei and Du Ling, confident of their defenses, barely approached before they were struck by two blows that sent them soaring into the sky. Mi Yang executed an uncontested punch that integrated at least five different energies. Clad in the crystal armor, both of them were sent spinning and launched into the air. The crystal armor shattered, while both of them spat out mouthfuls of blood.

The Divine Wood bloodline is known as the fourth rank, not only for enabling martial artists to maintain their prime state for a long time and prolonging their lifespan, but also for providing the holders of this bloodline with immense strength beyond normal capabilities..
