Chapter 2140 — The Strongest Move
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
That was why this move was never used lightly, save when there was no other way—and now, there was no other way. For Woking Dao had been driven into a dead corner by Wei Zhao, with nowhere left to dodge, and even fleeing the arena was no longer possible…
Of course, the crucial thing was that he did not want to concede just like that. He had already squandered so much effort; to give up now would be an utter joke. Besides, he had already let loose his boasts—he could not afford the shame.
So he would rather risk a drop in rank than cut Wei Zhao down in a single move! Man-and-beast as one was Qianshan Sect's most powerful secret art, stacking the might of man and beast together and driving it to its limit! Now this spirit wolf already possessed attack power no less than that of a cultivator at the peak of the late Earth rank. Add Woking Dao, and it was the peak of the late Earth rank plus the peak of the early Earth rank—and this was not the same as two cultivators striking together. This was the stacking of true qi, able in an instant to reach a might approaching the peak of the early Heaven rank!
It was precisely for this reason that this divine power was honored by Qianshan Sect as a secret art, never to be used lightly, only in the critical moment!
Woking Dao did not believe Wei Zhao could survive this move. Even if by some fluke he did not die on the spot, his meridians and bones would be shattered, leaving him a cripple beyond even a third-grade pill's saving. So he made up his mind and unleashed this great move!
Hearing Woking Dao's summons, the spirit wolf stopped attacking Wei Zhao and suddenly leaped up, landing atop Woking Dao's head and loosing a shrill wolf howl. Meanwhile Woking Dao silently recited a mantra, and a golden light flashed over man and wolf alike, then turned blazing red, as though bathed in the setting sun!
"Man and beast as one—Heaven-and-Earth Wild Wolf Transformation!" With a fierce shout from Woking Dao, a green gleam flashed in his eyes, and his whole body seemed to become a giant crimson wolf. His ten fingers pressed together and rose high above his head, coming to rest exactly upon the spirit wolf's head, and then he hurtled toward Wei Zhao like a drawn bow, smashing down with all his gathered force!
"Frenzied Fire Fist—Fourth Stance!" Wei Zhao too was on the arrow and had no choice but to loose it. Though he had caught a whiff of danger, he could only steel himself and press on! If he dodged now, the might of Woking Dao's strike would very likely sweep over Han Xiaohu, not far away!
Wei Zhao could withstand the force of this move, but Han Xiaohu absolutely could not—and Wei Zhao's final stance of the Frenzied Fire Fist was meant to deal Woking Dao a fatal blow. Otherwise he would never have begun from the first stance and driven it all the way through to the last!
It was because martial techniques unleashed in such a continuous sequence were far more powerful than one triggered on its own! He had once slain a black-robed Earth-rank man in an instant, and Woking Dao's strength was inferior to that black-robed man's—Wei Zhao was confident he could put him to death!
Wei Zhao had already witnessed Woking Dao's treachery, so he did not intend to leave this scourge alive. Since he had already crossed swords with Qianshan Sect, he could only offend them to the death!
"Boom—" A deafening roar like heaven and earth splitting apart, like a landmine exploding, and at the point where the two fists met a gigantic vortex of true qi took shape, instantly bursting outward in every direction. Woking Dao and the spirit wolf alike, and Wei Zhao too, were all blasted backward by the true qi born of that explosion…
Woking Dao felt a tremendous true qi, like a volcanic eruption, invade his〖Body〗, wantonly destroying his meridians and his five viscera and six bowels! He could not believe it—could not believe that Wei Zhao's fourth stance of the Frenzied Fire Fist could produce such power!
