The dark-skinned old man resisted with his full strength. His body swelled as black light filled the surroundings, but it was already too late. In his haste, he was unable to make it in time, nor was he able to use too much power. He was unable to block Qiuqiu's full-powered strike.
Spurt!
The dark-skinned old man was struck. Starting from his forehead, he was directly cleaved in half.
"No, there's no Origin Root or soul …"
Lu Ming's face sank.
Although Qiuqiu had cleaved open the dark-skinned old man's body, Lu Ming did not sense any pulses of soul from the body, nor did he see any Origin Root.
It was fake!
Boom!
Lu Ming suddenly swung his spear and shot towards a certain spot to his left.
Space exploded and chaos permeated the surroundings. A figure appeared there and struck the War God's Spear with a palm, blocking Lu Ming's strike.
It was the dark-skinned old man. He was actually unscathed.
"Fortunately, I can create a metal substitute at any time, or I really would have suffered a great loss earlier. So the metallic lifeform beside you is so powerful. You've been holding back the entire time because you wanted to set me up …"
The dark-skinned old man's voice was cold. It was filled with heavy killing intent as well as a sliver of anger.
It really had been far too dangerous earlier. Qiuqiu's terrifying battle prowess had completely exceeded his expectations.
If it were not for his life-saving secret technique, the Metal Substitute, which allowed him to create a metal substitute at a crucial moment to block a fatal strike for him, he really would have died earlier.
Qiuqiu's strike that had been charged up definitely could have killed him.
As a result, he was very furious.
He had remained at peak Reciprocity for a thousand years already. During such a long period of time, he had reached an extremely terrifying level in every aspect. He could easily kill regular peak Reciprocity experts.
However, Lu Ming was only at late Reciprocity, yet he possessed such great battle prowess. This made him extremely displeased.
"What a pity …"
Qiuqiu said as it hovered beside Lu Ming. It felt very regretful that it had failed to kill the dark-skinned old man this time.
"So what if you have a helper? Let's kill him together."
The dark-skinned old man recovered very quickly. His killing intent was cold as his presence surged. He charged towards Lu Ming again.
He was confident enough.
Even with Qiuqiu's help, he could still win.
"Kill!"
"See if I can't chop you to death."
Lu Ming and Qiuqiu faced the dark-skinned elder head-on.
Now that Qiuqiu had transformed into the Human King's Broken Sword, its attack power was astonishing and not much weaker than Lu Ming's all-out attack.
That said, it must be said that the dark-skinned old man was truly terrifying.
Lu Ming and Qiuqiu were able to put up a good fight in the beginning when they joined forces, but after a dozen or so moves, they were actually suppressed again and fell into a slight disadvantage.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed.
Bang!
Qiuqiu was hit by the palm and its body was sent flying.
However, Qiuqiu's defense was extremely powerful. Even after being struck, it did not suffer any heavy injuries. Very soon, it charged back and fought with all its strength.
While Qiuqiu was attacking with all his might, Lu Ming finally found an opportunity to strike the dark-skinned elder. However, the dark-skinned elder also struck Lu Ming with a backhand palm.
The two of them quickly retreated, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"He's actually fine."
Lu Ming looked at the black-skinned elder and realized that the black-skinned elder was only slightly injured after being struck by the spear.
This guy was simply an old monster.
Fortunately, Lu Ming's vitality was strong enough and was quickly recovering.
"Lu Ming, I can't maintain my Human King's Broken Sword state for too long. We have to end this quickly …"
Qiuqiu transmitted its voice to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming also wanted to say that he also wanted to end this quickly, but this old monster was simply too terrifying. They were at a disadvantage even after joining forces, so how could they end this quickly?
Now, they could only go all out.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged more than a hundred moves. The battle was extremely tragic.
This was a battle of life and death. Both sides pushed their combat strength to the peak without holding back at all, wanting to finish off the other party.
However, there was no clear victor.
Although the dark-skinned elder was slightly better, Lu Ming and Qiuqiu were not to be trifled with either. Each of them had a ball, which was also abnormal.
Needless to say, Qiuqiu's powerful defense was its advantage. It had devoured a large number of divine weapons, and many of them were defensive divine weapons. Its defense was simply abnormal.
Unless it was an existence much stronger than Qiuqiu, it was impossible to break through its defense.
As for Lu Ming, he relied on his terrifying vitality to hold on.
This way, although the dark-skinned elder had the upper hand, he could not kill Lu Ming and Qiuqiu.
However, Lu Ming and Qiuqiu could not do anything to the dark-skinned elder either.
This was truly an old monster. Relying on the long years, he had improved all aspects to a terrifying level.
Boom!
Both sides exchanged another move and retreated separately.
The sword that Qiuqiu had transformed into buzzed. He could not hold on any longer. Constantly transforming into the Human King's Sword state had consumed too much of his energy.
Lu Ming had also consumed a lot of his energy. He did not have much of his forbidden origin energy left.
However, the dark-skinned elder was not much better off. Such a life-risking battle had also consumed a lot of his energy.
At this moment, the dark-skinned elder also did not have much of his origin energy left.
Both sides stared at each other and did not attack for a while.
The interior of the bronze head was not a safe place. Black flames constantly filled the air and surged towards them in an attempt to refine them.
They had to constantly circulate their power to resist.
If the battle continued and they used up all of their remaining origin energy, without the protection of their origin energy, they would really be refined by the flames.
Hence, after a brief standoff, both sides decided to withdraw and pull apart the distance between them. They sat down cross-legged and stuffed divine pills into their mouths to recover.
At the same time, Lu Ming gave Qiuqiu several Origin grade divine weapons. Qiuqiu swallowed them and rapidly recovered.
Several hours later …
Kill!
The dark-skinned elder was the first to attack. He was exceptionally determined to kill Lu Ming.
Only by killing Lu Ming and sacrificing Lu Ming would he be able to leave this place.
Lu Ming was fearless as he faced Qiuqiu head-on.
This battle lasted another hundred moves, but neither side could do anything to the other.
When their origin energy was severely depleted, they could only retreat and recover separately.
"My Genesis techniques seem to have improved a little."
Lu Ming's heart stirred.
The continuous battles of life and death had pushed him to his limits every time. This was extremely helpful in comprehending one's own Genesis techniques.
Lu Ming could clearly feel that he had improved. When he used his Genesis techniques with all his strength, his body shrank a little.
Although it was only a little, how long had it been?
It was countless times faster than slowly cultivating by himself.
"If this continues, I will be able to kill this old monster sooner or later …"
Lu Ming was very confident in himself.
Although his opponent was also constantly fighting, it was absolutely impossible for him to improve so quickly.
His opponent was already so old. His talent and potential had already reached the limit. If he could improve quickly in battle, how could he still be at the peak of the origin realm?
He would have long rushed to the sub-immortal realm.
