The Fire Wolf's Roar technique took form in the attack of a fire wolf: the Third Boss's body transformed into a blazing wolf and charged at Wei Zhao, his hands hooked into claws like a pair of wolf talons, trailing fierce, searing flame!
Wei Zhao frowned. He hadn't expected the Third Boss to be so quick—no sooner had he struck than the man answered, reacting countless times faster than the Fourth Boss had. Any hope of a surprise attack was gone. Facing an opponent stronger than himself, Wei Zhao had no choice but to clash head-on—unless he used a true-qi bomb.
But he hadn't compressed a true-qi bomb; he had come in too much of a hurry, and besides, his main aim was to test his new move!
The Third Boss was no Heaven-rank expert—only a peak late Earth-rank, and not a particularly formidable one at that—so Wei Zhao had not used the true-qi bomb, a technique that would only wound himself.
"BOOM—"
The collision of the two forces burst out in a peal like muffled thunder. Wei Zhao's palms and the Third Boss's claws met with a dull, heavy crash.
After the impact, Wei Zhao and the Third Boss were both flung backward, each spitting a mouthful of blood—both had taken no small internal injury!
The internal injury was something Wei Zhao had foreseen. The Third Boss might not be one of those truly formidable peak late Earth-rank experts, but his cultivation rank was what it was, and so was the grade of his martial technique. For Wei Zhao to clash head-on like this, injury was unavoidable.
But this one move of Wei Zhao's had certainly made the Third Boss suffer too! A blow equivalent to the eleventh form of a Heaven-rank expert's martial technique—the fifth form of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm—had landed squarely on the Third Boss, and he felt as though his five viscera and six bowels had been knocked out of place!
"You... that wasn't the fifth form!" After landing, it was a long while before the Third Boss caught his breath, and he spoke in shock.
The moment Wei Zhao landed, he began circulating the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to repair the internal injuries in his body, wasting not a single moment. What he and the Third Boss were contesting was endurance—whoever lasted to the end would win. So Wei Zhao had to seize every second to recover; once his injuries were healed and he clashed with the Third Boss again, killing him would be certain.
"The ultra-enhanced fifth form!" Wei Zhao had only restored the injuries to his meridians and five viscera—just enough to keep himself alive. He gave the Third Boss no time to catch his breath; he wasn't afraid of failing to beat the man to death, only of him running away!
"Ultra-enhanced?" The Third Boss was stunned.
"Try another move of mine!" Wei Zhao leaped up and sent another strike of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm at the Third Boss!
The Third Boss was startled—he hadn't expected Wei Zhao to still be capable of moving. True, his own tenth-form technique was inferior to Wei Zhao's fifth form of the Frenzied Fire Eight-Trigram Palm, which was equivalent to an eleventh-form technique; but Wei Zhao was only genuinely mid Earth-rank, while he, the Third Boss, was peak late Earth-rank. The two were not on the same level at all!
