C339 Both Sides Suffered Heavy Losses
In the sky above the little wasteland, the wind and clouds have dispersed, and nine fire snakes fall with the force of thunder. The explosion of Yuan energy shook the heavens and earth. Dirt fragments submerged the silver sword radiance that wrapped around Nangong Qianxing. Within Qi Zhuohao's Spiritual Sense, Nangong Qianxing spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper. The purple crystal armor on his body had already turned into powder, and Nangong Qianxing's purple-gold skin had turned into fine powder. It's also riddled with scars.
Qi Zhuohao didn't reveal any joy when he saw this scene. On the contrary, his expression was unusually heavy, because Nangong Qianxing's True Self sword light was still piercing towards him. At this moment, he was just a living target. He was unable to react!
As if he had been struck by a huge mountain, the protective shield around Qi Zhuohao shattered with a bang. Then, the sword light pierced through his body and went through his chest and abdomen.
Qi Zhuohao was unable to suppress the surging blood in his throat. He spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood in a row. He lowered his head and looked at the shocking wound on his chest. He felt helpless. The True Self Sword Technique could really be called the number one Sword Techniques Martial Arts in the Great Desolate!
Qi Zhuohao was even shocked. If not for the fact that the Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill Sword Technique had neutralized most of the power of Nangong Qianxing's True Self Sword Technique... Furthermore, he had the Vajra Body Protecting Martial Technique to defend himself. Qi Zhuohao felt really lucky that Nangong Qianxing's True Self sword light didn't cause too much damage to his heart.
Of course, Qi Zhuohao also knew that as an Essence Incarnating Expert, as long as his soul wasn't destroyed, he wouldn't die. Even if his heart was destroyed, with his body's vitality and self-healing ability, he should be able to recover.
Qi Zhuohao stood still. Behind his body, the silver sword light dissipated, and Nangong Qianxing's body fell to the ground.
Nangong Qianxing's heart was incomparably gloomy and depressed. Qi Zhuohao was seriously injured by his sword, but he didn't feel good about it. He was even injured by the explosive force of the nine fire snakes. The injuries in his body were even more severe than Qi Zhuohao's. At this moment, his head was spinning. He was on the verge of fainting.
One should know that Qi Zhuohao's Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill could even severely injure a Second Grade Demonic Beast. Although Nangong Qianxing's Purple Qiong Golden Body had an amazing defense, it was still unable to withstand the terrifying power of the Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill. It was already very impressive that Nangong Qianxing didn't die on the spot.
"Nangong Qianxing, your True Self Sword Art is very powerful. Should we continue fighting?"
Qi Zhuohao didn't pay attention to the shocking wound on his chest. Due to his physique, no matter how serious the injury was, as long as he was still breathing, he would be able to recover, so he wasn't worried.
Qi Zhuohao's meaning was very obvious. Both he and Nangong Qianxing had suffered heavy injuries, but the outcome had not been decided yet. Nangong Qianxing was at the end of his flight, so he should not be able to fight him anymore, but he still had the strength to fight.
Qi Zhuohao felt helpless. Competing with Nangong Qianxing was just a matter of time. His strength was on par with Nangong Qianxing's, but if it was a life and death battle, he could kill Nangong Qianxing. Competing with Nangong Qianxing was fundamentally different from a life and death battle.
Of course, this was only a normal situation. If Nangong Qianxing used a high grade defensive artifact to defend himself... Even if Qi Zhuohao still had the strength to fight, he might not be able to kill Nangong Qianxing. The geniuses of Nangong family were not just for show!
Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Nangong Qianxing suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in surprise, "Qi Zhuohao, fight again? Are you kidding me? You and I are both injured to such an extent. This battle can be considered as a draw!"
Nangong Qianxing struggled to sit up. He took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it. His internal organs were seriously injured, and the meridians in his body were also severely damaged. If he didn't treat it now, the root of his Martial Essence would leave behind sequelae. The consequences were severe. He only thought that Qi Zhuohao was putting on a brave front. With Qi Zhuohao's injuries that were similar to his, could Qi Zhuohao still fight?
"That won't do. The victor has yet to be decided between us. Get up and take another strike from me!"
Qi Zhuohao's tone was very calm. As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the Extreme Flame Blade and unleashed the Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill once again. As long as he didn't die, he would have absolute combat strength. He didn't need to worry about his injuries, because in just a short period of time... His wounds had stopped bleeding and were stabilized.
Qi Zhuohao didn't want Nangong Qianxing to keep pestering him. This time, it was a draw, and there would be a next time. Today, he had to defeat Nangong Qianxing, and not let the result of the draw appear. The outcome had to be determined.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Qianxing's facial expression changed dramatically. Qi Zhuohao was truly a freak. With Qi Zhuohao's severe injuries, how could he still use the Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill? This was impossible, impossible!
However, no matter how much Nangong Qianxing didn't believe it, the truth was right in front of his eyes. Qi Zhuohao didn't look like a seriously injured man. The current Qi Zhuohao... He had almost full combat strength, and his injuries didn't affect him at all.
"Qi Zhuohao, I have lost. Stop!" Nangong Qianxing sighed, then quickly admitted defeat and shouted to stop. Only he himself knew this. The severe injuries in his body made it impossible for him to use the Defensive Artifact to protect himself. As for the Purple Qiong Golden Body and the Defensive Martial Arts, it was even more impossible for him to use them. Facing Qi Zhuohao's Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill once again, he would only die.
Nangong Qianxing had lost. It was hard for him to accept this defeat. He had calculated everything, but he never expected Qi Zhuohao to have such a strange physique. The vitality and recovery ability of Qi Zhuohao's body was just too terrifying.
Qi Zhuohao was a monster, a terrifying injury on the verge of death. It had no effect on his combat strength at all! Nangong Qianxing also knew that they had said that they would defeat him with one strike. However, they did not say that the outcome of the battle had not been decided after one move. Should they continue fighting?
Therefore, Qi Zhuohao's attack didn't violate the rules of the competition. Currently, Qi Zhuohao could still use the Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill, but Nangong Qianxing couldn't even stand up. Their overall strength was equal to each other. However!
"Nangong Qianxing, I didn't force you to admit defeat. Remember... Don't bother me anymore in the future!" After saying that, Qi Zhuohao changed the direction of the Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill's attack. The nine fire snakes blasted a huge crater in the ground.
Seeing this, Nangong Qianxing smiled bitterly. He didn't answer Qi Zhuohao's question. In his heart, he was wondering if he had fallen into Qi Zhuohao's trap. Why didn't he use the Defensive Artifact? If he used it, the result wouldn't be like this.
Of course, Nangong Qianxing didn't know if Qi Zhuohao had a powerful Defensive Artifact with him. Even if he used the Defensive Artifact, the outcome of losing to Qi Zhuohao wouldn't change!
"Forget it. If I lose, then I lose. I, Nangong Qianxing, can afford to lose!" Nangong Qianxing sighed and looked up at Qi Zhuohao again.
"Qi Zhuohao, I am not as good as you. If I lose, then I lose. But this is only temporary. When I have the strength to defeat you, ___ said. Nangong Qianxing's tone was full of disappointment and unwillingness. After waiting for so long, he finally had a chance to fight Qi Zhuohao. However, he had lost!
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhuohao cast a cold glance at Nangong Qianxing and said, "Nangong Qianxing, wake up. You are no match for me now. In the future, you will definitely not be a match for me. You better take care of yourself and return to Great Desolate City as soon as possible after you have recovered! "2
Qi Zhuohao couldn't be bothered with Nangong Qianxing. Nangong Qianxing had already lost. In the future, he wouldn't give Nangong Qianxing the chance to fight him. Because Nangong Qianxing was a man who loved to fight like his life depended on it. He was a man who cared about his reputation. He would give Nangong Qianxing another chance. It would only make Nangong Qianxing cling onto him endlessly. That was not the result Qi Zhuohao wanted.
Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhuohao immediately summoned the wind shadow and jumped on its back. With a command, the wind shadow turned around and ran away. Finally, he could get rid of Nangong Qianxing. In fact, he was very happy and satisfied!
"Qi Zhuohao, where are you going? Aren't you going back to Great Desolate City with me?" Nangong Qianxing shouted loudly. Qi Zhuohao's Demonic Beast Mount made him extremely envious. He was even jealous that Qi Zhuohao did not stay behind to treat his injuries. He really did not care about the injuries on his body. This made Nangong Qianxing even more certain. There was really a big difference between him and Qi Zhuohao in terms of overall strength.
If this was a battle of life and death, the result would be the same. Did Nangong Qianxing know that he would definitely die in Qi Zhuohao's hands? Of course. There was still a long way to go, and he would definitely defeat Qi Zhuohao!
"I will not return to Great Desolate City for the time being. When you go back, help me take care of Yudia and Shen Ji. Thank you!"
After Qi Zhuohao's voice faded, his figure completely disappeared from Nangong Qianxing's sight. Nangong Qianxing smiled bitterly. He took care of Nangong Yudia and Shen Ji. What kind of joke was this? Did Nangong Yudia and Shen Ji need his care?
One of them was a martial artist with the Spirit Wind Body and was carrying a Wind Spirit Bead. The other was a martial artist with the Blood Frost Body and could even use the Frozen For Ten Thousand Miles Martial Arts. If Nangong Yudia and Shen Ji stayed together, even the True Essence Expert of the Great Desolate would not be able to threaten them!
Secretly shaking his head, Nangong Qianxing no longer thought about it. Fully healing at full speed. Although he lost to Qi Zhuohao, his wish had been fulfilled. Realizing that there was a huge gap between his strength and Qi Zhuohao's, he made up his mind. He had to cultivate hard and strive to regain his face as soon as possible. He could not let go of the thought of teaching Qi Zhuohao a lesson.
After riding on the wind shadow for dozens of miles, Qi Zhuohao finally made the wind shadow slow down. He took out a Minor Rejuvenating Pill and consumed it. Qi Zhuohao closed his eyes and started to treat his injuries. Although he didn't need to care about his injuries, he would slowly recover in Hongwu Continent. He might encounter danger everywhere. Qi Zhuohao didn't dare to drag his seriously injured body around.
It had to be said that Qi Zhuohao's injuries this time were unprecedentedly serious. It took him three whole days to fully recover from his injuries. At this moment, he and Feng Ying had arrived at a mountain not far from the Myriad Corpses Mountain.
Qi Zhuohao's healing ability was unparalleled. One should know that Nangong Qianxing was still healing in that small wasteland. Without ten days to half a month, Nangong Qianxing's injuries would never be fully healed.
If Nangong Qianxing knew that Qi Zhuohao had fully recovered, Nangong Qianxing would definitely be even more shocked. In fact, Nangong Qianxing would probably give up the idea of fighting Qi Zhuohao in the future because of this.
"Feng Ying, how is your advancement? How long will it take for you to reach the Second Grade Demonic Beast?"
Qi Zhuohao jumped off Feng Ying's back and asked with a faint voice transmission. He had been providing Essence Recovering Pill for Feng Ying to cultivate. Logically speaking, Feng Ying should have advanced to the Second Grade Demonic Beast by now.
Once Feng Ying advanced to the Second Grade Demonic Beast, he would be able to use the Vital Spirit Wing to fly. This would be a great help to Qi Zhuohao. At least, in terms of escaping. Qi Zhuohao now had a huge guarantee. Of course, he believed that... The strength of a Second Grade Devil Beast Stage's Wind Shadow was definitely very strong!
"Master, I was trying to break through the barrier of the Second Grade Demonic Beast. But you summoned me, and all my efforts were in vain. But master, please rest assured. I will cultivate for at most half a month. Then, I will be able to smoothly advance to the Second Grade Demonic Beast... "
