Chapter 1571 1571. Nine Yang Restoration

"Haon…!!" Domon couldn't stay calm when he saw Leavemealone get bound.

Long still had his back on Domon. Domon gave Long an elbow slam at the back of Long's head. Such a hard hit would have caused a normal person to faint.

Long fell on the ground. His HP was critical. The two stabs from Domon just now had taken out a large chunk of his life. The last elbow was also done with mana manipulation and caused damage. If it was not for his two classes' HP, he would have died.

Domon didn't have the time to think about killing Long. He was worried about Leavemealone. He rushed forward before Leavemealone was taken away.

But he was stopped when a strong hand grabbed his leg.

"Our fight has not ended, Master Domon." The hand belonged to Long. His body appeared burning. At the same time, Domon sensed a great mana burst from Long.

"What…?"

Long made a sudden jump followed by a swift spin kick. Domon parried the kick but was forced a few steps back.

"You…"

Long's body was still burning. The most surprising was, his HP recovered at a rapid rate. His HP bar was almost back to half full by now.

"You've learned it…," Domon muttered.

"Yes. The Nine Yang Restoration," Long grinned.

"… You must be the first person to have learned the complete Nine Yang Scripture since ancient age, and also the youngest to achieve that," Domon said.

Domon glanced at Leavemealone. The boy had been brought away. With Long standing in his way, he couldn't go for the rescue. The other members tried to charge forward but the enemies were many. They couldn't break through.

Freddie, who only had half a life left after receiving Long's palm strike, came to Domon's side.

"Go and save Haon," Domon said to him. "I will deal with him."

"But…," Freddie had experienced Long's palm strike. He knew they couldn't treat Long as a normal martial artist.

"Go!" Domon insisted.

"Be careful," Freddie said and rushed with the others.

Long's body stopped burning. His HP was almost back to full.

"I see you have not truly mastered it yet," Domon said.

"It is enough for now," Long said.

The Nine Yang Restoration was considered by many the most powerful among the martial arts contained in the Nine Yang Scripture. It was also the hardest to learn. Even though it had no destructive power, it was able to create a miracle that was not achievable by other martial arts. It kept the wielder alive.

In the ancient past, those who had managed to learn the Nine Yang Restoration were considered immortals. No matter how wounded they were, they were able to heal themselves and returned to the fight in a short time. Those who had mastered this art could even use it constantly during battle, making them undying.

The only way to defeat these martial artists was by landing a fatal hit that killed them with one strike. This was already challenging to achieve in the old world. In this new game world, it was even more difficult to accomplish due to the HP system. This meant the Nine Yang Restoration was even more formidable in this world.

Domon took a deep breath. His mind was troubled with Leavemealone's abduction. He tried clearing his mind as much as possible. He knew going against someone like Long with a clouded mind was fatal.

Long went into a horse stance. His two palms were retracted to his sides. With a series of movements, he pushed those palms out. Following the push, eighteen eastern dragons were unleashed.

Domon looked at the coming dragons but didn't move away. The glaive on his hands was spun at high speed. A turbulent wave swept all around him. It was his martial art, Reversing Heaven and Earth. All the dragons were swept to the side. They slammed into the ground nearby and created multiple craters.

"Neat trick. Try to redirect this, then!" Long jumped to a great height. His two palms were clasped together and it was burning fiercely.

The image of a scorching blade was seen as Long swung his hands down.

Domon didn't try receiving this attack. He stepped to the side. The flaming blade slammed into the ground, creating a long and deep gash that was burning.

Domon used his One-word Slash when Long landed, but Long's speed let him dodge the slash easily. Domon's glaive movement didn't stop. The straight slash fluidly transformed into a radial one. Domon linked his One-word Slash with his Soul Pursuit Hurricane.

Long had experienced this technique before. He was not flustered. Although the Soul Pursuit Hurricane contained many slashes that were both real and fake, he countered it by using brute force. He again used Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. The violent force of his palms was able to sweep all the slashes away, whether they were real or fake.

But as he did, something came to the side of his head. He sensed it but it was too unexpected. This something crashed into his head and sent him reeling.

Long recovered in no time and saw it was Domon's foot that had hit him.

"I must admit, Master Domon. It is no wonder you are called the best martial artist among this generation," Long praised. "But you will still fall today!"

Jeanny was still fighting against multiple opponents. She had killed a good number of them. Her legendary-grade spear had very high damage. Using a proper spear art and an accurate hit to the fatal spot allowed her to one-shot her enemies. Even so, the enemies were quickly replaced.

The most troublesome was Spring Crown. Even without access to game skills, Spring Crown was able to perfectly coordinate with his guildmates and wear Jeanny down. During one opportunity, Spring Crown's spear suddenly came from an unexpected angle and struck Jeanny's arm.

If Spring Crown could use his skill, this would have been a golden opportunity to disarm Jeanny. Since it was not, Jeanny bore the pain and continued holding her spear tight. When she was about to retaliate, Spring Crown's spear resumed stabbing with incredible speed.

"Im–Impossible…!" Jeanny cried when the multiple stabs came at her. She tried to parry those combo stabs but they were simply too fast. She managed to parry two stabs but one hit her shoulder.

Although it was crudely done, Jeanny recognized the spear art Spring Crown had used was Seven Spears Assaulting Heaven. Spring Crown had always self-taught all his martial arts. He had the exceptional perception to learn one just by watching someone performing it, and he had watched how Jeanny used this art during previous battles.

The surprise and the pain from the stabs caused Jeanny to pause. This proved fatal, as she was quickly swarmed by World Maker's members.
