Lu Xinwen looked at the tattered clothes in his hand with a trace of regret on his face. "It's a pity. If this clothes were made from the Northern Ice Mountain's Heavenly Silk and the Southern Xinjiang's Human-faced Spider's Silk, it would've been able to block your Xiantian needle today."
He Yiming was slightly startled. "In that case, Brother Lu, you must use this kind of special weapon to exert your cultivation method to the limit?"
Lu Xinwen smiled and threw away the tattered clothes in his hand, saying: "Even without this special weapon, I can still wipe out your entire sect."
Having said that, he stepped out and crossed his palms. This time, his speed was not as fast as before. Instead, it seemed a little slow.
Who knew, it was only an illusion. He only took 3 steps forward, but he crossed tens of meters and attacked with his palm.
Water-based cultivation methods were not suitable for head-on clashes, but the old man chose to attack by force.
After the initial conversation, he already understood that He Yiming was an expert who had just stepped into the Xiantian Realm.
Although he did not understand why Lu Xinwen had such a powerful Xiantian cultivation method like the Hidden Needle Seal, since Lu Xinwen had just become a Xiantian expert, his Xiantian Qi was definitely inferior to that of an old man who had been a Xiantian expert for more than 20 years. Therefore, after Lu Xinwen failed to use the Cloud Squeezing Skill, he immediately chose the safest method.
Even though this logic was simple, it was often the most practical.
A palm seemed to have pierced through the void and struck towards He Yiming's chest. If this palm were to land on He Yiming's chest, even if He Yiming was a Xiantian expert, he would not be able to withstand it.
However, in the face of this sudden palm, He Yiming suddenly turned his hands over. The Hidden Needle Seal suddenly changed into a steady and thick Crouching Ground Seal.
This seal technique was also stolen from Lin Taoli. Moreover, it was the most perfect seal technique that he had learned. Although there were still some differences when it was used by Lin Taoli, those differences were all based on He Yiming's own characteristics and were modified by himself. It could be considered a cultivation method that was most suitable for him.
The ethereal palm waved a few times in the air, as if trying to find a flaw in He Yiming's defense. However, the owner behind it suddenly realized something. When He Yiming's hand seal changed, his body no longer had any flaws. It was as if his entire body was under the protection of this strange seal.
He Yiming's palm swayed up and down, left and right. Finally, it collided heavily with He Yiming's Crouching Earth Print.
It was as if his handprint had been placed here long ago, waiting for this hand to take the bait.
Lu Xinwen suddenly felt extremely depressed. He had already used all his strength in that attack, but he still didn't gain the slightest advantage in terms of cultivation method.
With his eyesight, he only needed a single glance to see that these two hand seals were of the same origin, but they also had different veins. However, there was no doubt that the two seals were Innate cultivation methods.
He was astonished. Where did this young man come from? How did he master two Innate Hand Seal cultivation methods?
It wouldn't be surprising if he had only learned them, but He Yiming not only learned them, but also grasped their essence. This was somewhat unbelievable.
At this moment, he really doubted He Yiming's age.
To improve one's inner strength, one could take a Golden Pill and step into the Innate Stage, which was rare in the world.
However, there was no shortcut to mastering the cultivation method.
Apart from the rare epiphany, one could only practice, practice, and practice again. Only when this kind of cultivation method was practiced to the bone marrow would one be able to reach the stage of being unfamiliar the first time and familiar the second time.
However, He Yiming's performance completely broke this rule.
The young fellow had displayed the two Innate Hand Seal cultivation methods at will, and he could use them as he wished. The young fellow's proficiency in the Innate cultivation methods was not inferior to Lu Xinwen's 20 years of hard work.
Even the Bloody Butcher Lu Xinwen felt waves of helplessness when facing such a freak.
The moment He Yiming's palm came into contact with the Crouching Earth Seal, he pressed his feet against the ground and bent his knees slightly. With this action, he had already transferred half of the power of Lu Xinwen's Xiantian Water True Qi to the ground. Then, he exerted force in his legs, and a surging force was transmitted from his feet to his knees. His knees suddenly shook and straightened in an instant. A powerful elastic force was emitted from more than three hundred acupuncture points on his body at the same time. In an instant, it condensed into a rope and bounced out through the Crouching Earth Seal.
"Bang …"
A sound that was not too loud was heard, but it was very oppressive. It sounded like an explosion in an iron box, causing one to feel suffocated.
Lu Xinwen's eyes widened abruptly. His palm and the Crouching Earth Seal collided, and the two enormous essential Qis collided without any fancy tricks.
However, the result of the clash of essential Qis was unbelievable to Lu Xinwen.
A powerful force that was far beyond his imagination came from the Crouching Earth Seal. Moreover, the force was a pure earth-attribute power, which completely restrained him even in terms of innate attributes.
Lu Xinwen was horrified and flew backward like lightning. As he flew backward, his feet kept stepping on the ground in small steps, leaving a clear footprint on the ground with each step. In just a few breaths, he had left 360 footprints on the ground.
The power that bounced out from more than 300 aperture points in He Yiming's body was completely neutralized in such a strange way.
Lu Xinwen looked up in horror. He could not figure out how a young man who had just stepped into the Innate Realm could have such powerful Innate Qi. The essential Qi was so powerful that it was not inferior to his more than 20 years of diligent cultivation.
At this point, a trace of doubt finally appeared in his heart. His belief in whether he could defeat and kill He Yiming was slightly shaken.
He Yiming's eyes suddenly widened. At this moment, he clearly sensed that his opponent's momentum seemed to have suddenly declined. The feeling of having his essence, energy, and spirit gathered to the peak could no longer be found.
When Lu Xinwen's momentum declined, He Yiming's momentum involuntarily soared.
Without any hesitation, He Yiming let out a long whistle. He lifted his leg and turned into a bolt of lightning, charging straight ahead at a speed not inferior to Lu Xinwen's in the slightest.
He Yiming's footsteps quickly trampled on the ground. His frequency was extremely fast at this moment.
When this sound entered everyone's ears, it actually made them feel as if they were in an endless mountain rain.
He Yiming turned into a mountain rain and took countless small steps in an instant. His extremely fast body technique blocked all of Lu Xinwen's escape routes.
At the same time, he lifted his hand and the Crouching Earth Seal appeared in front of him again. However, this time, the Crouching Earth Seal was not used for defense. Instead, it suddenly transformed into a powerful offensive that smashed down like Mount Tai.
In Lin Taoli's hands, the Crouching Earth Seal was just a pure defensive seal. However, in He Yiming's hands, he made slight adjustments to the path of internal energy, causing this seal technique to have an unexpected change. It was also the only offensive method in this move.
Powerful Qi emanated from the Crouching Earth Mark. The Qi locked onto Lü Xinwen tightly. It was as if there were countless invisible ropes binding him tightly. There was no way for him to slip up.
Lu Xinwen's eyes flickered with fear. His heart was filled with disbelief.
From that palm strike just now, he was certain that He Yiming was an Earth Elemental Xiantian Realm cultivator. However, at this moment, the lightness technique he displayed was definitely one of the water-type techniques.
The earth-type Crouching Earth Seal and the water-type Soaring Cloud Rain Technique.
The gravity of the earth and the gentleness of the water were actually displayed on his body at the same time. Moreover, they were both so perfect. At this moment, Lu Xinwen even had a heartfelt sigh.
However, Lu Xinwen was an Xiantian powerhouse who was close to 100 years old after all. He had experienced countless battles in his life. At this critical moment, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Since he knew that he could not avoid it, he immediately threw everything aside and stimulated his essential Qi to the extreme. He struck out three consecutive palms one after the other.
The three palms came one after another. Every palm strike was accompanied by a massive impact of essential Qi.
When the first palm came into contact with the Crouching Earth Seal, Lu Xinwen's body retreated a little. When the second palm came into contact with the Crouching Earth Seal, He Yiming pulled some distance away. When the third palm came into contact with the Crouching Earth Seal, his body shot out like an arrow from a bow.
He Yiming's footsteps paused. It was not that he did not want to pursue, but that Lu Xinwen's three palms were stronger than the previous one. When the third palm strike was unleashed, it had already formed an enormous force. Even though He Yiming had the upper hand, he was still forced to stop. He had to use the sturdiness of the earth beneath his feet to neutralize this enormous force.
He Yiming raised his head and watched Lu Xinwen retreat. A strong emotion welled up in his heart.
In the beginning, he did not choose to attack forcefully. Instead, he chose to retreat and defend. When Lu Xinwen's attack failed and his momentum weakened, he immediately counterattacked with the Soaring Cloud Rain Technique and the Crouching Earth Seal. However, in the end, Lu Xinwen's three consecutive palms easily broke through this sure-kill situation.
Xiantian powerhouses were indeed not easy to deal with. Lu Xinwen definitely could not kill this person with his bare hands.
However, he did not know that Lu Xinwen was far more shocked than he was.
Those three palms were not ordinary palm strikes. They were Lu Xinwen's true trump card. Ever since he had advanced to the Xiantian Realm, he had never used them in a fight.
The three palm strikes were originally a magical trick of layering essential Qi. It was not something that Lu Xinwen could master at the moment.
However, he had a fortuitous encounter and learned a little about this from somewhere. After fumbling around, he could barely use his essential Qi to perform a three-fold attack. However, once it was used, it would more or less cause some damage to the body. Moreover, it could not be used consecutively.
Even with all kinds of flaws, this was the limit that he could reach after countless attempts over the past 20 years. He originally thought that this skill was enough to run rampant in the world. However, he did not expect that in today's battle with He Yiming, although he had used this Cultivation Method, he was forced to use it to save his life. The fear in his heart was not something that could be described with words.
He Yiming's counterattack did not succeed, but his spiritual sense was not to be underestimated.
He felt that Lu Xinwen's momentum seemed to be getting weaker. As the saying goes, one's decline is another's gain. If he missed such an opportunity, who knew if there would be a second one?
Lu Xinwen's shoulders suddenly shook, and the muscles on his back suddenly bulged. The rattan that tightly bound his shoulders and back suddenly broke inch by inch, and a piece of cloth that was more than a meter long suddenly flew up.
Under the ingenious use of essential Qi, the three parts of the glaive flew over his head as if they had grown wings.
He Yiming did not stop moving. He raised his hands high and swayed strangely in the air. The terrifying glaive had been assembled.
He took a step forward and followed closely behind Lu Xinwen. At the same time, his glaive swung towards Lu Xinwen with a strange whistling sound.
This seemingly casual slash actually contained a miraculous and unimaginable power.
The first form of the 36 Splitting Mountain Forms, this Xiantian skill was perfectly displayed by the glaive.
Lu Xinwen's eyes narrowed, and a trace of fear finally appeared in his heart.
From this weapon that was nearly four meters long, he could smell the scent of death. He had not felt this feeling since he stepped into the Xiantian realm.
He suddenly understood that He Yiming's glaive had the ability to kill him.
At this moment, he no longer had the thought of killing He Yiming and the others. To him, He Yiming was like a nightmare that brought him incomparable fear.
Lu Xinwen stomped his feet hard and his body shook. He suddenly turned and pounced in the direction of He Quanxin and the others.
He Yiming was not the only one who did not expect this change. No one present would have expected this.
With Lu Xinwen's status, he actually fled from a fight with a Xiantian master. Moreover, he ran toward the opponent's family. He clearly intended to take them hostage.
There was actually a Xiantian master who could do such a thing under the watchful eyes of everyone. This was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations. Even He Quanxin did not have time to react.
He Yiming was very anxious. He suddenly roared and slashed out with his glaive like a thunderbolt. At the same time, he exerted strength in his legs and turned into a light shadow. He actually crossed the shortest distance in the shortest time and came to He Quanxin's side.
However, as soon as he came to He Quanxin's side, he knew something was wrong.
After Lu Xinwen nimbly dodged his glaive in mid-air, he immediately left the range of his glaive light and fled like a cat.
He Yiming immediately understood that Lu Xinwen did not want to take them hostage at all. He just wanted to use this method to get rid of his 36 Splitting Mountain Forms.
He instantly understood that Lu Xinwen already had the intention to retreat. Otherwise, he would never put down his pride and make such a choice.
At the thought of this, He Yiming's heart was suddenly filled with a strong confidence that could swallow the sun and the moon.
An Xiantian master actually chose to escape from his hands. Moreover, this Xiantian master had a grudge against him for killing his disciple. Even so, Lu Xinwen did not dare to be enemies with him.
This fact was like a stimulant, causing his spirit to be excited to the extreme.
He shook his hands and a huge amount of Genuine Qi instantly poured into the glaive. At this moment, he no longer held back.
Under the stimulation of strong confidence, the Five Elements Cultivation Technique was activated at this moment. The power of the Five Elements complemented each other and ignited a powerful force in an instant.
A glaive light suddenly appeared on the glaive. The pale golden light was fluctuating like the tongue of a poisonous snake, making people not dare to look at it directly.
He Yiming roared and swung the glaive in his hand. The glaive light immediately shot out like a meteor chasing after the moon.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
It was not that time had really stopped, but the speed of the glaive light was so fast that it could even tear through space and ignore distance.
After Lu Xinwen left the range of the glaive, his figure flashed like lightning and arrived at Fan Haori's side. He reached out and immediately pulled Fan Haori while flying into the distance at the same time.
Fan Shuhe was already dead. If they still left Fan Haori here, it would be equivalent to entrusting his life to Yuan Zhencheng and the others' consciences.
Lu Xinwen did not know what he was thinking. Before he left, he actually pulled Fan Haori as if he wanted to take him far away.
With his speed, naturally, no one could stop him. However, he had just arrived at Fan Haori's side when he felt something strange behind him.
A strong sense of danger that he had never felt before instantly enveloped his entire being.
Almost without thinking, he reached out his right hand and waved it behind him.
He seemed to have sensed a strange power. This power was sharp and powerful, as if it could destroy everything in its path.
He felt his wrist lighten. When he turned his head to look, his right hand had been cut in the middle and fell to the ground.
The golden saber light did not stop. In an instant, it had already slashed his body.
A strange blue color suddenly flashed across Lu Xinwen's face. The glaive light slashed across his body and instantly disappeared.
Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Lu Xinwen leaped up as if nothing had happened. He grabbed Fan Haori with his left hand and jumped over the wall like a meteor chasing after the moon. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
On the ground where he left, there was a severed hand. But what was strange was that other than the blood from this hand, there was no other blood on the ground. It was as if Lu Xinwen didn't have a trace of blood on his body, so there was no blood at all.
