Even though the blazing sun had yet to shine, the sand on and off the arena seemed to be shining with a dazzling light. The air was filled with a kind of scorching heat. The two masters had yet to officially fight, but they were already emitting an endless amount of pressure.
Below the arena, no one was whispering anymore. Everyone was infected by the heavy pressure at this moment. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would provoke the two unusual people in the arena.
The Xu family's fourth master, Xu Xiangqian, tightly clenched his fists. His face was different from the others. In his shock and anger, there seemed to be a trace of confusion.
After he had advanced to the ninth level of internal strength more than a year ago, he had always thought that in Taicang County, he was already considered one of the top few people. Other than a few people, no one else was worthy of his attention.
However, at this moment, when he saw the two people in the arena, and especially when he felt the enormous aura that was even stronger than the Blazing Fire Technique that erupted from Lin Taoli's body, his heart instantly turned ice-cold. It turned out that in the fight just now, Lin Taoli did not use his full strength.
If he had taken out this strange seal from the beginning, would he have been able to hold on for so long?
As he turned his gaze, he saw He Yiming, who was standing a distance away from Lin Tao.
His mouth suddenly felt bitter, extremely bitter …
A fifteen-year-old ninth level internal strength master, how did this guy train?
At this moment, his heart suddenly had a thought. Second brother met this person more than a year ago in the barren mountains. Perhaps at that time, he should have killed this child at all costs. If this child was given a few more years, then how much would he have grown?
In the future, in Taicang County, would there really be a day when the Xu family would exist?
Perhaps …
In his heart, an extremely frightening thought suddenly emerged. Perhaps one day, this child's achievements would surpass the ancestor's.
If that time really came, even he did not dare to guarantee that the Xu family would still be as stable as it was now.
For a moment, a faint trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. His eyes looked around. Other than He Quan Ming and the others, the rest of the people's eyes could more or less see a trace of fear.
For the He Clan to have such a son, although his reputation spread far and wide, he was destined to become the envy of others.
On the arena, Lin Taoli's gentle, seemingly powerless voice suddenly rang out, "Come without a trace, leave without a shadow, ethereal and illusory. Seal of Cloud and Rain. Brother He, be careful. "
In the beginning, he had always called He Yiming Little Brother He, but when his internal energy reached the ninth level and He Yiming was still not inferior to him, he realized that this person's internal energy cultivation was actually not below his.
Only at this moment did he put away all the contempt in his heart. Even the way he addressed him had a very subtle change. He called him Brother He and spoke with a completely equal attitude.
He Yiming said in a clear voice, "Young Master Lin, please."
His voice was filled with anticipation, as if he was looking forward to the thunderous attack that was about to erupt. However, no one dared to call him arrogant anymore.
Lin Taoli bent his finger and flicked it with his right index finger.
He Yiming was slightly startled. What kind of battle technique was this? But just as he was feeling uncertain, his heart suddenly tightened. His fists flew towards his chest and abdomen.
His palm didn't really hit the area between the chest and abdomen. Instead, it lightly brushed past that area and faintly touched a trace of extremely strange power.
His expression immediately changed greatly because he had already realized that this was internal energy. A wave of internal energy that had left the body and was not much different from a hidden weapon.
An impossible thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Then, his eyes locked onto the other party's hands, which were covered with strange seals.
Generally speaking, no matter how strong internal energy was, it could not exist independently from the body.
Regarding this, he had personally experienced it. Not to mention Lin Taoli's ninth level internal energy, even his tenth level internal energy could not exist outside of the body.
However, human martial arts had been developed for countless years and created many strange and secret techniques.
Legend had it that there was a secret technique called the Air-splitting Palm, which could allow internal energy to leave the body and condense a powerful force to injure the enemy in a short period of time.
Of course, it was incredibly difficult to cultivate this palm technique. It was said that ever since it was created, not many people could successfully cultivate it. Moreover, it was only a legend. At the very least, He Yiming had never seen it before.
It was just that the situation he encountered now was quite similar to that strange cultivation method in the legends.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind as he recalled Lin Taoli's earlier words. He immediately understood something.
The Seal of Clouds and Rain came without a trace and left without a trace. It was indeed illusory.
He Yiming shouted softly and waved his fists again. An aura that was not inferior to his opponent's rose from his body.
After experiencing the previous attack, he already understood that it was impossible to defend against such a strange seal technique. No one could completely defend against such an attack that came and went without a trace.
Since he could not defend, then he might as well use offense to break offense.
The strong fist aura brought with it a sharp sound as it flew towards his opponent. At this moment, He Yiming's body seemed to be completely covered by an endless amount of fist shadows. The power of his fist technique was immediately displayed to the extreme. The greatest power of the ninth level of the Rolling Stone Fist was fully displayed.
If it was another person, even if it was Xu Xiangqian or Cheng Ningsheng who also had ninth level strength, they would have to use their trump card to block He Yiming's fist aura. Otherwise, when the Rolling Stone Fist's fist aura accumulated to the extreme and exploded, they would be instantly injured and defeated without a strange technique like the Earth Prostration Seal.
However, at this moment, Lin Taoli seemed to be completely unaware of this. His feet were steady, but his footsteps were like moving clouds and flowing water, nimbly walking around the arena.
Even though his footwork allowed him to avoid the head-on collision with He Yiming's Rolling Stone Fist, the others had the misconception that Lin Taoli wasn't dodging, but was instead attacking. Using a different method, he steadily attacked under the Rolling Stone Fist that was as fierce as a mountain.
Lin Taoli bent his finger and flicked it. He Yiming's body would immediately pause slightly. Although this pause was very small and could not be detected by normal people, the people here were all people. Their eyes were as sharp as I's and they immediately saw the crux of the problem.
As long as Lin Taoli's fingers, which had formed a hand seal, moved slightly, He Yiming would immediately take a step back as if he had been struck by lightning. However, the two of them were not fighting on the spot, but were jumping all over the stage. Therefore, it gave people the illusion that He Yiming was crazily attacking.
In reality, as Lin Taoli's hands moved, he had already completely controlled the situation. No matter how powerful the Rolling Stone Fist was, it was still completely restrained by the opponent. There was no chance for him to counterattack.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. What kind of technique was this? It actually possessed such great power. More importantly, this kind of technique was simply impossible to guard against. There was no way to resist.
However, as an outsider, how could they understand He Yiming's current predicament and the mixed feelings of joy and sorrow he felt at this moment?
The Seal of Clouds and Rain was indeed an incredible technique that could allow one's inner strength to form temporary power outside of their body.
Moreover, He Yiming actually felt an extremely familiar feeling from this technique. This feeling was exactly the same as when he had practiced the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms. This also allowed him to confirm that the two hand seal techniques Lin Taoli used were both extremely rare Xiantian Battle Techniques.
However, it made sense when he thought about it. Apart from Xiantian Battle Techniques, there were no other techniques that could allow one's inner strength to continue harming others after leaving the body's meridians.
Although He Yiming's fists were awe-inspiring, his heart was filled with fear. He did not dare to approach them at all.
Once inner strength left the body, it would quickly dissipate. However, the Seal of Clouds and Rain actually had the ability to condense inner strength to a high degree. This was why it could harm people from a distance. However, although the Seal of Clouds and Rain's attack from a distance was powerful, it only made He Yiming feel a faint pain. If he were to come into direct contact with the Seal of Clouds and Rain, He Yiming did not dare to imagine its power at all.
He was afraid that his entire body would be blown apart by this cultivation technique.
His body abruptly ached. His waist and abdomen had mysteriously suffered another strange blow.
Although he dodged with all his might, there was no way he could defend himself against this kind of Battle Technique that came and went without a trace. If it were not for his special physique, he would not have been able to hold on long ago.
However, it was not as if he did not gain anything from taking so many blows. With each blow, his understanding of the Seal of Clouds and Rain increased a little. Although he could not clearly analyze the path of inner strength within it like he could with the Crouching Earth Seal, he still had an extremely subtle feeling. He had a general impression of it and was constantly exploring it.
Perhaps this was what it meant to be in pain and joy at the same time.
Exhaling deeply, Lin Taoli was already filled with admiration for He Yiming's endurance. If they were in each other's shoes, he definitely would not have been able to endure such strange blows. After so many times, he was still jumping around happily in the arena with him as if he did not feel anything at all.
However, at this moment, he was also somewhat exhausted.
The Seal of Clouds and Rain was not something that a cultivator at the ninth level of inner strength could use for a long time. Therefore, even if it was him, he could no longer drag it out.
A long howl suddenly came from his mouth. Lin Taoli abruptly stood still. His hands did not change the seal, but his expression was incomparably solemn. "Brother He, this is my final attack. If you can withstand it, then it's my loss. If you feel that your strength is insufficient, please retreat. Do not take it head-on. I guarantee that I will not pursue you. "
After saying that, he slowly raised his hands that were forming seals.
A strange power vaguely emanated from his hands. At this moment, his hands seemed to have an indescribable charm that attracted everyone's attention.
"An Innate-stage Battle Technique …"
Old Man Xu's face twitched slightly as he muttered softly.
