Chapter 544 - Who is the first Teng Long!
Chapter 544 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" opens with: The third sword style of the human path, Involuntary.Facing this sword, Wang Yi Wu felt... Find out what happens!
The third sword style of the human path, Involuntary.
Facing this sword, Wang Yi Wu felt completely different.
As Jiang Wangâs sword thrust at him, he had a faint feeling that he was no longer himself, his fists unable to reach full perfection, his Soldier Slayer not showing at its strongest, his vital energy off by just a hairâŚ
Everything was lacking in some way, he was not in control!
The whole world seemed to be pushing him, forcing him to do things he didnât want to, things he couldnât do.
Pushing him forward, backward, or even abruptly side to side.
It was very much like Zhongxuan Shengâs direct manipulation of Heavy Technique, but it had transcended the realm of âforceâ and became an influence of âmomentumâ.
In this world, who can truly be free?
Wang Yi Wu almost roared out loud, but he clenched his teeth tightly.
All the muscles in his body were pulsating with power, his blood boiled, the Soldier Slayer surged within himâwhat âInvoluntaryââŚ
he didnât believe in it!
If a mountain stood in his way, he would smash it.
If a river blocked his path, he would break it.
Nothing in heaven and earth could stop him.
He would decide for himself, his fists would shatter everything.
The first time on the drill ground, he fought one against ten.
The first time the two armies clashed, he fought courageously through the bloodshed, slaying generals and capturing flags.
His master said he did not study military strategy and could hardly become a war god, yet he retorted, why should I walk your path!
From the lowly peddler to the high-ranking nobles, in this world, who has it easy, who doesnât have their own struggles.
The world is like a raging tide, and this body is adrift in it.
With these fists, he would carve out an invincible path.
âI am Wang Yi Wu, the invincible at my level!â
Finally, he clenched his teeth until they shattered, and amidst all the âInvoluntaryâ, he once again threw his punch.
In everything âunfortunatelyâ, he struggled out âfreedomâ!
It was still the No Self Fist.
But it was no longer Jiang Mengxiongâs No Self Fist, it was Wang Yi Wuâs own No Self Fist.
Imbued with his beliefs and determination.
This punch was fierce and unmatched, and as it travelled, it seemed as if even space itself was giving way.
And just then, Jiang Wangâs sword arrived, light as a feather.
This sword was light, seemingly powerless, even âweakâ.
But it pierced through Wang Yi Wuâs punch.
All the lights and shadows calmed down.
Wang Yi Wu still maintained the posture of the punch, but on his fist revealed the tip of a sword.
That glimmering like autumn water, was the Longing!
The Longing pierced through his fist, entering between the gap of his index and middle finger and through his palm, emerging from the back of his hand.
In an instant, blood flowed like a stream.
Jiang Wang, holding the sword, let out his first roar.
âWho is the number one in the Ascending Dragon Realm!â
Wang Yi Wu closed his mouth tightly, his pierced fist seemingly without pain, and the blood draining as if it wasnât his own.
His fingers were still clenched that tight, still forming a resolute fist.
He still extended his fist forward!
That punch, although pierced, had not dissipated.
At this very moment, it suddenly burst forth again.
Like a tide that surges back, it swept over once more, stronger and more violent than before.
Clearly, the Longing should have pierced deeper, should have followed the wound and split Wang Yi Wuâs entire arm open.
But the tip of the sword was retreating.
Jiang Wang was pushing forward with all his might, yet his sword was still retreating.
Forced back by that violent punch!
In the process of retreating, the blade scraping against bone made a grating sound that set oneâs teeth on edge.
And whether it was Jiang Wang or Wang Yi Wu himself, there was not a flicker in their eyes.
This brief clash was drawing to a close, with a resounding explosion the Longing was blown away, along with Jiang Wang himself, blasted off by the punch!
Before being blown away from the entrance of âDream Flowerâ, Jiang Wang stopped his flying back, forcibly swallowing the blood gushing up his throat, and shot back once more.
Another involuntary strike!
He had promised Zhongxuan Sheng to try to kill Wang Yi Wu and would not give his opponent a chance to catch his breath.
Without a momentâs pause, the sword never ceased.
Suddenly the Longsword was upon him.
Facing this terrifying strike, Wang Yi Wu still chose not to dodge; he even raised his pierced fist again, clashing with Jiang Wang once more.
But this time, blood and energy surged on his fist, rising up with an imposing aura of Soldier Slayer.
The fist swelled at an astonishing speed.
Soldier Slayer surged, coalescing into various forms: armored soldiers, cavalry generals, archers, shield bearersâŚ
A single punch conjured an army!
With such a formidable punch, Jiang Wangâs eyes brimmed with even greater confidence!
Wang Yi Wu did not choose to counter with his selfless killing fist again, whether his injured fist could no longer bear such a clash or whether he judged that the selfless killing fist could not block the involuntary strike, he was retreating!
At least at this moment, in the face of Jiang Wang of the same realm, he had lost the belief in âinvincibilityâ!
And this was the beginning of the tilt in the scales of victory and defeat!
Jiang Wang pressed on relentlessly.
Longing crashed unhesitatingly into the army formed by Soldier Slayer, a streak of frost light briefly parting the raging forces.
A sword descended, and the army was easily dispersed!
In this brief âpassageâ opened within Soldier Slayer, Jiang Wang and Wang Yi Wu confronted each other on all sides.
âWho is the number one Ascending Dragon!â
He bellowed once more.
He still remembered when he first met Wang Yi Wu in the Heavenly Abode Secret Land.
This man regarded all fellow cultivators of the same realm as nothing more than weeds, whether it was Zhongxuan Sheng, Li Longchuan, or Xu Xiangqian, including himself, Jiang Wang.
But today, the one pressing relentlessly and aggressively was Jiang Wang, with their positions reversed.
He advanced with his sword from the cleaved âpassage,â the sword light flexible as a dragon, unleashing three consecutive strikes: the old general in his twilight years, the dissolute scholar, involuntary!
Wang Yi Wu was expressionless; his left hand spread wide and then abruptly came together.
The dispersed Soldier Slayer converged once more, and his right fist blasted forward!
The rolling Soldier Slayer enveloped Jiang Wang as the punch forced him back.
He chose to give up the possibility of victory with this punch, consuming a vast amount of Soldier Slayer and determination, using it to âexpelâ rather than to defeat, just like what he had told Zhongxuan Sheng beforeâhe thought only of repelling, not defeating!
The surging Soldier Slayer pushed Jiang Wang back at breakneck speed.
Suddenly a sword light exploded, and the rolling Soldier Slayer instantly scattered.
Jiang Wang, sword in hand, hovered in mid-air, facing Wang Yi Wu from afar.
It was not until then that Wang Yi Wu finally relaxed his fist, loosened his fingers, and let them hang by his side.
The blood had long since stopped, but the wound that pierced through the back of his hand was so vivid and ferocious.
âIn the Ascending Dragon Realm, you have indeed gone further.â he said.
Proud as he was, he admitted defeat!
He acknowledged that Jiang Wang was the number one in the Ascending Dragon Realm.
From Youmai, Zhoutian, to Tongtian.
His road to invincibility had ended in the Ascending Dragon Realm!
âBut Iâve realized something,â he said.
âI shouldnât fear a temporary setback because what I aim for is eternal invincibility!â
With these words, Wang Yi Wu clenched his fist once again.
âIâm grateful to you for bestowing upon me this defeat, which has allowed me to achieve perfection.â
His hair moved of its own accord, dancing in the air.
âAs a token of my thanks, I will ascend to the Inner Mansion for you!â
