Those were the fragments left behind by the shattered stone slabs. They were flicked by the shadow of the rod and shot into the sky like bullets.
Grai's eyes flashed like lightning. With such a close distance between them, the terrifying force contained within these rocks might not even be inferior to that of a bullet. However, a dagger had already appeared in front of him in an instant. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! All of the rocks were sent flying.
But at the same time, a terrifying aura that seemed to have come from the primordial chaos spread out from the dust below and rose up.
"Heavenly Hundred Hits!"
An oppressive voice rang out from the hustle and bustle of dust, ready to strike!
The Heaven Piercing Rod broke through the dust in an instant, like a flying dragon soaring into the sky!
The terrifying power of the cudgel seemed to be able to engulf everything, crushing everything in its path!
In the air, Grai's eyes flashed like lightning. Borrowing the wind generated from the incoming staff, he forcefully made a turn, leaving afterimages in his wake as he narrowly dodged the incoming staff.
His body fell and his feet landed on the ground, but the shadow of the staff followed him.
At this moment, Zhao Tianlong's eyes had already faintly turned scarlet-red, while the Heaven Piercing Staff in his hand had already taken form. Unlike the basic staff techniques that combined hardness and gentleness, the Heaven Piercing Eighteen Strikes was an attack of extreme hardness and yang, one that would not rest until death!
At this moment, all distance control had already become meaningless. Zhao Tianlong had already entered the Blood War Staff state, and the Heaven Raising Staff had already become one with him. He was the staff, and the staff was him! All the attacks were swift and fierce! Furthermore, as the staff techniques overlapped, not only did the frequency of the attacks overlap, even the power of the staff became stronger and stronger!
The berserk rod shadows had already left 7 to 8 dents on Grai's body. It wasn't because the rods had struck his body, but the shockwaves that had surged out were sufficient to injure him!
When all of this accumulated power had reached its peak, Grai's footwork had already become clumsy. In an instant, the berserk rod shades had surrounded him from the front and back, leaving him with no way to evade!
Grai's pupils suddenly contracted. With a twist of his dagger, Soul Power surged out, instantly transforming into 3 figures!
Unlike the afterimages from before, it appeared as though there were 3 corporeal bodies, 3 Grays. In an instant, they split up and rushed out from the dense array of staff afterimages!
He actually dodged it?
"Shadow Doppelganger?!" Many people exclaimed.
Although a true assassin's shadow clone was essentially an illusion, it wasn't just an illusion! In a state of near nothingness in an instant, as long as the timing was right, almost all attacks could be avoided!
During the match between Tianjing and Bierlia Academy, he had seen it from Eddie Brooks. However, this should be a secret technique of the assassin aristocratic families. How did Grai know it?!
A sliver of astonishment flashed across Zhao Tianlong's almost crazed eyes, before two chilling glints pierced right into his eyes!
This sneak attack was simply too quick. Even someone as powerful as Zhao Tianlong was unable to evade it.
Bang!
He suddenly closed his eyes tightly, and a layer of golden light shone on his body once again. His eyelids, which should have been soft and tender, actually shone with golden light!
When the dagger hit the eyelid, the sound of metal striking metal could be heard!
It was actually blocked!
The attacks and defences of the 2 were truly too quick. Furthermore, the defensive capabilities of the eyelids were even more outrageous. Grai was only slightly startled by this, before Zhao Tianlong's pole shadows had already swept over.
Boom!
The pole shadows smashed into Grai's left waist for the first time. A terrifying power erupted, instantly sending Grai flying like a rubber ball.
The 2 figures separated at high speeds. Zhao Tianlong had only closed his eyes and retreated, while Grai was sent flying dozens of metres away like a cannonball.
"Danger!" Ruo Zhi's voice did not stop from the start. Compared to Wind God, brother Ruo was clearly more professional. "Zhao Tianlong has intentionally forced Grai into a corner with his earlier attack. Now, Grai is too close to the edge of the stage. He's about to fall out of the stage!"
Deng deng deng deng deng!
Grai stamped on the ground, his body continuously rotating to reduce the force of the attack. Unexpectedly, he was able to forcefully endure the terrifying force of the attack. Pushing his left leg back slightly, he drew a long scar on the ground, before stabilizing himself at a position 7 to 8 metres away from the edge of the stage.
This was a large arena that spanned several hundred metres. Being forced to a position 7 to 8 metres away from the edge of the stage was indeed a considerably dangerous situation.
A flush appeared on Grai's face, but it quickly receded. At his waist, where he had been struck by the Heaven Raising Staff, his clothes had already been reduced to ashes by the powerful force of the staff, revealing a faint bruise.
He's injured!
Ever since everyone knew Grai, this was the first time they had seen him injured.
What's more, exactly what kind of perverse defence did Zhao Tianlong possess? It was understandable that his body was impervious to swords and spears due to his indestructible body. However, that was his eyelids! Fuck! Those were the softest and most tender eyelids in the human body! They were actually able to block a sharp dagger!
With the exception of Wang Zhong, the hearts of the Tianjing squadron by the side of the stage had already risen to their throats. Grai's female fans in the arena instantly let out cries of shock.
However, at the same time, cries of shock came from the commentators, as well as from the supporters of the Divine Dragon Academy.
That was Zhao Tianlong's Heaven Raising Staff! After accumulating power to such a degree, he was actually only able to leave a bruise on Grai? This …
Grai did not move, while Zhao Tianlong did not give chase. Separated by a distance of several tens of metres, the two of them appeared to be adjusting their state of mind, while their brains rapidly analysed the strengths and weaknesses of their opponent's performance.
Seemingly sensing the abrupt retraction of their auras, the originally noisy atmosphere in the arena turned solemn, as the large cameras at the top of the arena replayed the instant the two had exchanged blows.
This was especially so when golden light sparkled from Zhao Tianlong's body, as his closed eyes had unexpectedly relied on his eyelids to forcefully endure the impact of Grai's dagger!
This …
Zhao Tianlong's indestructible body had long been famed throughout the Federation. Previously, the Tianjing squadron had also found footage of Zhao Tianlong's combat prowess, and analysed his so-called invincible defence.
However, frankly speaking, due to him not being an absolute expert, the understanding of Zhao Tianlong's indestructible body could only remain at the level of 'one's attack strength'.
However, at this very moment, the one being attacked was Grai! How could the instantaneous counterattack after being suppressed by Zhao Tianlong be weak? What's more, it was his eyelids! It could be said to be the softest part of a human's body! Yet, it was actually able to block such a sharp dagger attack! What's more, it was Grai's dagger!
Although one could clearly see a sliver of blood-red in Zhao Tianlong's eyes when he opened them, he had even blinked for a moment. Clearly, he had received a certain amount of damage. Nevertheless, it did not affect his combat prowess, and only caused him a slight stab of pain.
What kind of defence was that? Was there even a need to continue fighting?
"This is a heavy soldier that can be ranked on the Mo's List … his indestructible body isn't just a result of his external training, it's also supported by his Golden Dagger-Axe special ability. From a certain perspective, it's a genuine undying body. If there's anyone in this CHF that can withstand a few waves of Wang Zhong's cross wheels, Zhao Tianlong would definitely be one of them. Grai's choice to face Zhao Tianlong with a dagger is a complete mistake. Being a heavy soldier, this fellow is impeccable in both offence and defence … "Divian sighed in admiration from the Skylink. At the same time, she could not help but look towards Karl beside her." What's more, he doesn't have any weaknesses in his character! "
"Cough cough …" Karl looked towards the sky with his mouth agape. "Aiya, the weather's pretty good today. The sun's pretty bright and beautiful. Boss, what are we eating for lunch? That's right, I saw little Mo Mo and the others eating hotpot yesterday. How about we eat hotpot today? "
The so-called little Mo Mo was Mo Xingchen. Therefore, the reason why the Mo Family wasn't willing to place this fellow on the Mo's List was definitely not due to his strength.
Divian's face instantly turned slightly black as she sighed with emotion. She had actually thought of lecturing this stone in the latrine pit. Even if she used her toes to think, she would know that it wouldn't end well for her.
At this moment, after a few seconds of silence, the tranquil Skylink had completely exploded!
Using his eyelids to block a dagger!
What was invincibility? This was invincibility! The unkillable Zhao Tianlong, the unbreakable indestructible vajra body!
"A high standard showdown, a high standard of offence and defence!" Wind God's voice sounded like beans being poured out in a continuous stream as it rang out intensely. "The performances of both sides in terms of offence and defence are truly too astonishing! It's hard for people to imagine that they're actually the number two figures of the 2 squadrons. However, it's a pity that Grai has miscalculated. An indestructible vajra body is fatal to an assassin's life-risking style of fighting! "
Not choosing a soldier's weapon meant that Grai did not want to engage in a battle of attrition with his opponent. Instead, he wanted to make use of his speed and agility to obtain opportunities to attack. However, Zhao Tianlong wasn't a traditional heavy soldier.
Wind God had always held the initiative in his analysis. At this moment, Ruo Zhi shook his head slightly. "Grai's decision to use a dagger is more likely to be for control. What a pity."
Nevertheless, Wang Zhong wasn't the slightest bit worried, as he knew that Grai had yet to unleash his full strength. This fellow had hidden his strength even deeper than himself.
Lack of strength? If anyone had seen the scene of him and Grai competing in the 10 times gravity room, they would definitely not use this evaluation to describe him. If Grai truly lacked strength, it would be utterly impossible for him to endure the heavy strike from the Heaven Raising Staff. If it was any other ordinary heavy soldier, they might have already been smashed into two!
What's more, was the dagger really useless?
That wasn't necessarily the case.
Indeed, Zhao Tianlong's defence was slightly unexpected. However, it was still within his expectations.
At the very least, he still needed to close his eyes in the face of Grai's dagger! Furthermore, even if he managed to block the dagger's attack, his eyes would still feel pain!
That was already enough.
Zhao Tianlong placed more emphasis on defence than offense. This wasn't to say that his Heaven Raising Hundred Strikes wasn't formidable. However, compared to his Indestructible Vajra Body, his offensive capabilities were still slightly lacking. His defence was the capital that allowed him to stand on the Mo's List. As of now, he had more or less revealed his trump cards. However, Grai's was just the beginning!
On the stage, with a slight shake of his wrist, Grai's dagger was already in a reverse grip, while his other hand opened up into a palm before his chest.
Wang Zhong's eyes lit up.
His counterattack was about to begin!
A sliver of an arc appeared at the corner of Grai's mouth.
Whoosh!
With a light tap of his feet, he shot out like an arrow from a bow!
With a swing of his staff, Zhao Tianlong rushed forward to meet Grai.
The circular dance of his staff had once again blocked Grai outside of the most optimal attack range. However, the same process was repeated, and he had even suffered an injury.
However, upon receiving it, Zhao Tianlong's expression changed slightly.
How did his opponent appear to have suffered any injuries? His movements were unexpectedly faster than before, and his movements were even more fleeting than before!
This fellow had actually held back and concealed his strength?! What's more, the angle at which he had cut in was even more crafty, appearing as though he had already completely seen through his staff technique!
As the massive pressure came crashing down, the mental suggestion and pressure instantly formed an invisible pressure. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianlong found it hard to enter the state where he had fused with his Heaven Raising Staff!
This addition and subtraction had produced an inconceivable effect.
By the time Zhao Tianlong regained his senses, it had only been a short span of 3 exchanges. Grai had already found the entry point of his staff technique, and had easily entered his range!
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Grai, who had been accumulating his power, appeared to be a completely different person from before. Golden light flashed rapidly from Zhao Tianlong's body, while the clear sounds of metal clashing resounded across the stage.
"Grai seems to have suddenly turned into a different person! He's actually suppressing the Mo's List!" Ruo Zhi cried out in shock. "However, Zhao Tianlong's indestructible body is still as firm as before! His dagger attacks are seemingly completely ineffective!"
Grai's cut in even deeper, appearing just like a maggot on a bone. Zhao Tianlong's pace was already extremely fast, yet he was unable to break free from Grai's grasp, nor was he able to increase the distance between them.
An inch longer was an inch stronger, but an inch shorter was also an inch more dangerous!
In such a close combat situation, the Heaven Raising Staff was seemingly completely unable to be unleashed.
Piercing to the eye!
A chilling glint shot out, piercing straight towards Zhao Tianlong's left eye. He subconsciously closed it, causing golden light to sparkle. A 'ding' sound rang out, though the piercing pain from the massive impact did not radiate from his eyelid. It appeared as though the dagger was as light as a feather.
I've been tricked!
Zhao Tianlong suddenly came to a realisation. His half-opened right eye was already able to see Grai's palms flashing.
The 2 palms drew a strange arc in the air, appearing as though thousands of hands had instantly appeared within the arc, before countless overlapping images appeared!
What appeared to be an extremely slow movement was abruptly retracted, as the thousands of hands instantly condensed together, forming a single palm! Without the slightest hint of smoke or fire, it smashed into Zhao Tianlong's wide-open chest.
Bang!
An unimaginable might erupted from the seemingly soft palm force, sending Zhao Tianlong flying backwards. In fact, the sound of metal shattering was accompanied by a loud bang.
Crack crack crack …
7 to 8 cracks visible to the naked eye appeared on Zhao Tianlong's golden glowing body, with Grai's palm at the centre!
Thump thump thump thump!
Zhao Tianlong did his best to control his body, trying his best to stabilize himself. However, the momentum of his retreat did not stop. After taking 17 to 18 steps back, he was still unable to stop the momentum, causing his butt to fall heavily onto the ground.
Puff!
A mouthful of blood uncontrollably spurted out from Zhao Tianlong's mouth.
Be it the stadium, the Skylink, or even the lively and bouncing Wind God, everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw.
What happened?!
The side that was originally in an undefeatable position had actually been turned around in an instant?
That was an indestructible body! Cracks had appeared on his body, and he had vomited blood?!
"That's …"
"It's a little similar to the Mo Family's Three Thousand Flowing Cloud Hands!"
"No, it's the Hundred-Fold Punch!" There weren't many people present in the stadium that could recognise this move. However, it was unable to escape the notice of the Potter Family, who were also the originators of the bare-handed style. Laura was able to recognise this move. Indeed, the illusory palm shadows appeared slightly similar to the Mo Family's Three Thousand Flowing Cloud Hands. However, that was just a facade. The true core of this move was the Hundred-Fold Punch!
Just like the Oscillating Fist, there were tens of thousands of ways to unleash its power. However, its essence would never change.
The Hundred-Fold Punch was an extremely gentle way of unleashing one's power, with the superposition of one's strength being just one of the key factors. What was even more frightening was the hundred layers of power contained within the palm. Layer upon layer, they would give rise to a terrifying vibrating effect. When they converged together, they would specialise in breaking through all so-called indestructibility!
This was also the reason why the Mo Family could suppress the Zhao Family, while the Zhao Family could go against any other family, but would never pick a fight with the Mo Family.
