Chapter 141: Chapter 123: The Great Battle against Damned Zong, Su Xing's Overt Plot! (Third Update)_2
"Just by the quality of the technique, the black aura is obviously inferior to the Li Fire, it's just that Damned Zong's mana is more profound than mine, his cultivation level is stronger, so he can suppress the Li Fire Technique, right?"
Su Xing roughly made a judgment and looked towards the simulation panel.
[As you and he dueled for more than a dozen rounds, you clearly felt a fierce consumption of spiritual power, even as someone at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, the Li Fire Technique still consumes a great deal of your energy when used at full power.]
[What alarmed you even more was the black aura, which seemed to be incessantly eroding the spiritual energy within the Li Fire Technique, thus doubling your consumption of spiritual power, forcing you to continuously absorb spirit stones to maintain the expenditure.]
[Seeing that there was no winner between the Li Fire and the black aura for the moment, Damned Zong sneered, tossed the bone sword in his hand, and then chanted an incantation, with the bone sword stabbing towards you at an astonishing speed.]
[At this moment, as you were desperately maintaining the Li Fire, you couldn't react in time, and were directly pierced in the lower abdomen by the bone sword, suffering a serious injury.]
[After you were wounded, your spiritual power became unstable, and the Li Fire Technique could hardly be maintained any longer, immediately getting devoured by the black aura.]
[You looked at the wound in your lower abdomen, a stream of black aura like maggots on a decaying bone kept eating away at your flesh and spiritual energy. If it were not for your breakthrough to the Divine Strength Realm, enhancing your physical strength tremendously, that strike might have killed you.]
[You quickly took some spirit dew from the storage ring, drank a portion of it, and applied the rest on your wound. The spirit dew took effect, and your injuries improved a lot.]
[Seeing this, Damned Zong snorted coldly: "You really have quite a few treasures on you. No wonder you dare to battle me."]
[With that said, Damned Zong extended his left hand, which was shrouded in black aura, transforming into a claw shape as it struck at you.]
[Damned Zong was incredibly fast, and knowing you couldn't dodge, you could only summon your entire Origin Force, covering your fists, and struck out at Damned Zong head-on.]
[Instantly, two deep wounds appeared on your body, visible to the bone, as the black claw marks kept eating away at your flesh. Your life force was rapidly drained, and only by continuously maintaining your spiritual power could you barely resist the exacerbation of the black aura.]
[On the other hand, Damned Zong clearly didn't expect that you had comprehended Origin Force. Caught off guard, one of his arms was broken by your punch and hung limply, his gaze towards you even more malevolent.]
[However, Damned Zong's fighting power was not much affected, and once again he activated the bone sword in his hand and charged at you.]
[You were hit by Damned Zong repeatedly, sustaining heavy injuries, and realized you had no strength left to fight. You could only dodge clumsily and continuously.]
[In just one minute, several more wounds had been added to your body, and coupled with the black aura entering your body, you were hanging by a thread.]
[Left with no choice, you could only summon the Spirit Field Blessed Land and temporarily hide inside.]
[Once inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you quickly took out several healing pills, swallowed them, and after adjusting your breath for a few moments, you left the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]
[Damned Zong saw you suddenly disappear, then reappear on the spot, clearly stunned for a few seconds.]
[But then something occurred to him and his expression turned frenetic, continuously muttering about a windfall from heaven.]
[Damned Zong clearly guessed that you possessed a personal blessed land, a treasure opportunity that even top cultivators would envy, and for someone struggling at the peak of Divinity Transformation like him, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity, enough to push him further!]
[Therefore, he decided to kill and seize this treasure!]
Seeing this, Su Xing sighed and muttered:
"As expected, the gap in strength between me and Damned Zong is still quite substantial! Although I can drag out dozens of rounds, I have clearly been suppressed the whole time..."
"Moreover, Damned Zong's battle experience is obviously much richer than mine, he even has a Sword Control Technique that severely wounded me..."
Su Xing felt somewhat unwilling to accept this. With his strength, although inferior to Damned Zong, who was at Divinity Transformation and Divine Strength dual realms, he should have been able to hold on longer using the Human Sword, Li Fire Technique, and Origin Force.
But due to insufficient combat experience, he was still severely injured by Damned Zong in a short time.
"It seems I need to improve my combat experience quickly... Find an opportunity to bring back twenty years of battle experience from Demon-Subduing Pass. With constant battles there, the experience will definitely greatly enhance my strength!"
Su Xing pondered the next strategy.
"This damned Zong clearly has his eyes on the Spirit Field Blessed Land on me. He's been desperately searching for Spiritual Energy for years. If he really gets his hands on this blessed land, I'm afraid he might actually make his breakthrough to the Return to Void Realm..."
"But this... is precisely his weakness!"
Su Xing quickly realized and muttered to himself:
"This damned Zong would usually come and go as he pleases, running away if he can't win the fight. But now he's coveting the Spirit Field Blessed Land on me and can't bear to part with such a treasure, as a result, he has something to worry about, and I can use this weakness to play a game of delay tactics with him... until Luo Shuying comes to the rescue!"
Su Xing thought to himself that this damned Zong might not know that Luo Shuying was also on his way to encircle him, thus as long as he held on, victory was assured once Luo Shuying arrived.
"With Luo Shuying's strength, maybe it will take just a quarter of an hour to get here?"
"I hope it won't make me wait too long..."
Su Xing sighed inwardly and looked at the simulation panel.
[You saw the feverish look on damned Zong's face but merely sneered in your heart. You plan to change tactics, not to engage in a head-on battle, but to delay time!]
[Thus, you kept casting the Li Fire Technique towards damned Zong, interfering with his movements, while you desperately dodged.]
[Damned Zong could fly through the sky with much faster speed than you; even though you intended to drag it out, the distance was still being narrowed rapidly, and within minutes, you sustained several more wounds.]
[As the black energy infiltrated deeper into your body, the wounds became more severe, and the flow of your Spiritual Power was impaired. You knew you had to find a way to expel the black energy quickly, or it might even affect your foundation.]
[Watching damned Zong persistently chase after you, you had a brainwave and once again hid in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, but you dared not stay too long, fearing that damned Zong might leave. After briefly adjusting your breath, you pulled up a few Gathering Spirit Flowers from the ground and returned to the real world.]
[As expected, damned Zong was already waiting outside, and the moment you showed up, he attacked you. You barely managed to dodge, preventing him from hitting a vital point.]
[Just as damned Zong launched another attack, you casually threw a few Gathering Spirit Flowers at him and turned to run.]
[As anticipated, damned Zong paused for a moment upon sensing the aura of the Gathering Spirit Flowers, then quickly picked them up and continued his pursuit of you.]
[But the act of picking up the Gathering Spirit Flowers caused a slight delay, and within that brief moment, you managed to open a distance of several dozen meters again.]
Su Xing nodded slightly and murmured to himself:
"Even if damned Zong is ever so cautious, he can't resist the temptation of such a precious treasure. The Gathering Spirit Flowers might be insignificant to the Cultivation World, but in this era of declining law, it is an invaluable treasure to damned Zong and every Cultivator! For the Gathering Spirit Flowers symbolize a ceaseless supply of Spiritual Energy!"
Su Xing felt a sense of wonder in his heart that even damned Zong couldn't resist such a temptation.
He continued the simulation.
[Damned Zong was relentlessly chasing you, and whenever the distance narrowed, you would continuously throw out Gathering Spirit Flowers. Although damned Zong realized this was your trick, he could only reach out to pick them up.]
[As it was an undissolvable open conspiracy. The Gathering Spirit Flowers would wither soon after leaving the Spiritual Energy, and if damned Zong didn't quickly store them in his Storage Ring, they would probably have wilted by the time he finished killing you and turned back to pick them up.]
[Thus, letting such treasures be destroyed would be tantamount to desecrating heavenly objects, something damned Zong couldn't bear.]
[In this way, you threw out dozens of Gathering Spirit Flowers, delaying him for several minutes, while damned Zong, though eager to kill you, was helpless to do anything.]
[Suddenly, damned Zong's expression changed, and he stopped chasing you, instead escaping in the opposite direction.]
[Simultaneously, you felt a strong presence approaching, knowing Luo Shuying had come to your aid, and promptly turned around, attempting to hold back damned Zong.]
