However, heartforce techniques did have their limitations.
Most of the time, heartforce techniques were a surprise weapon.
Under good circumstances, heartforce techniques could turn the tides of battle. They could allow the weak to defeat the strong, and they could be used to counter them.
But in the worst case scenario, heartforce techniques would basically become useless.
If one couldn't block them, heartforce could kill without a trace.
But if one could block them, heartforce techniques were basically useless.
It was precisely because of this limitation that the heartforce path was considered the most special of the eight major paths.
Not only was it the most special, it was also publicly acknowledged as the weakest path.
It would be very, very difficult to become a true powerhouse simply by cultivating the Heart Path.
Because of this, heartforce saints were also publicly acknowledged as the weakest of the eight saints.
Great Dao saints were publicly acknowledged as the strongest, while heartforce saints were publicly acknowledged as the weakest.
The other six saints weren't so easy to rank. They all had different opinions. They all said that they were second, and no one was willing to submit to the other.
Perhaps the weakest ones were the true meaning of strength saints and mechanical saints.
These two saints didn't have the strength to contend for second place. They were just unconvinced and shouted along. But if they really wanted to fight for second place, it definitely wouldn't be the two saints' turn.
The remaining saints like sword cultivator saints, immortal saints, elemental saints, and darkness saints all had the strength to contend with each other. No one was willing to submit to the other.
To Qin Xiao, the Dao of Heart was more of a support technique. It was extremely rare for him to use it as a main fighting technique.
If heartforce techniques didn't work, then there was no other way. Qin Xiao could only continue to use the Heaven-Splitting Sword Art.
He used the power of all five fundamental laws, causing the sword's sharpness to reach an extreme level.
Qin Xiao didn't believe that this alien's defense could be so strong.
Slash!!!
Another heavy sword strike landed viciously on the alien's body.
It was an extremely sharp sword strike, an incomparably swift and fierce sword strike.
But this strike didn't give Qin Xiao any pleasant surprises.
The strike was only a little deeper, piercing deep into the alien's flesh. It only caused some green blood to flow out.
But that was only a little blood. It didn't actually hurt the saint's body.
However, it was only a light injury and not a serious one.
Even if he were to inflict these minor injuries over a thousand times, he still wouldn't be able to kill this foreign being.
Thousands of times?
Just using his full strength would probably exhaust Qin Xiao to the point of exhaustion.
This was a matter that consumed a lot of Saint Energy, how could he squander it like that?
The Heaven Opening Sword was simply impossible.
His sharpness was still a little lacking.
One had to admit that the defensive capabilities of these creatures were indeed far too formidable. It was too difficult to kill him.
Since the Heaven Opening Sword didn't work, he would try using Li Sheng's Flying Dagger.
Qin Xiao's heart stirred. He put away the Open Heaven Sword and waved his hand. Li Sheng's flying knife flew out.
The Dao of Flying Daggers was a Dao of extreme sharpness.
Qin Xiao performed Li Sheng's Flying Dagger with all his strength, pushing the extreme sharpness to the extreme.
The two extremes were thrown out at the same time. The flying dagger whistled through the Nine Heavens, piercing through the firmament.
It was as if it had come from the extreme end of the void, and the saber slashed directly onto the body of the foreign race life form.
The extreme sharpness seemed to be able to break through everything.
The flying dagger also sank directly into the body of the foreign race life form. However, it was only the blade that sank in. In the end, it was blocked. The hilt was exposed outside, and it was slippery enough to penetrate the foreign race life form.
The strong resistance pushed Li Sheng's Flying Dagger out.
Qin Xiao waved his hand and called Li Sheng's Flying Dagger over.
The effect was a little better, but it was only a little better. It wasn't much better.
Even with Li Sheng's Flying Dagger, it was still difficult to really hurt the foreign race life form.
This made Qin Xiao frown deeply. Was it so difficult to kill this foreign race life form?
How could its defensive power be so strong?
It didn't make sense. It didn't make sense at all. What was going on?
Could it be that he couldn't even kill a second step Ancient Saint?
One had to know that he was capable of killing even a Third Step Ancient Saint!
It didn't make sense that he couldn't kill this second-step Ancient Saint. It didn't make sense at all.
Qin Xiao really couldn't accept this situation.
Therefore, Qin Xiao was also thinking about how he could kill this foreign race life form.
The defensive power of this foreign race life form's shell was too strong. Whether it was the Sky Opening Sword or Li Sheng's Flying Dagger, there was no way to pierce through its shell.
Since that was the case, he had to think of another way.
"Power, pure power."
Qin Xiao's heart stirred, and an idea came to his mind.
Since the power of the laws, the sharpness of the sword, and the sharpness of the saber couldn't break through the defense of this foreign race life form, then what about it?
Then why bother trying to break through his defense?
It was like a person locked in an iron cage. Even if he had a saber or a sword in his hand, he couldn't cut through the iron cage.
If he couldn't cut through the iron cage, then there was no way he could hurt the person inside.
Under such circumstances, what should he do if he wanted to kill the person inside?
He couldn't do that. He had to use pure power to kill the person inside.
This was because power could be transmitted. It could be transmitted through the iron cage and into the inside.
Qin Xiao believed that this foreign race life form was only powerful in its shell. Its physical body couldn't be that strong.
If that was the case, then he really wouldn't be able to kill this foreign being.
But that didn't make sense. No matter how strong a second-step Ancient Saint was, it couldn't be that strong.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao continued to attack.
This time, however, he didn't use the Sky Opening Sword Technique or Li Sheng's Flying Dagger. Instead, he took out a huge hammer.
Qin Xiao exploded with all his power. The power of his inner world was pushed to the limit, and the power of his Saint Body was pushed to the limit.
Although the power of the laws was also power, it was different from pure power.
Therefore, this time, Qin Xiao didn't use the power of the laws. Instead, he attacked with pure power.
Boom!
The huge hammer in Qin Xiao's hand smashed heavily on the foreign race life form's body.
Even if he didn't use the power of the laws, Qin Xiao's inner world was extremely powerful. It had reached the level of a fourth-step Ancient Saint.
Therefore, when the hammer smashed down heavily, its power was extremely strong and destructive.
Although the hammer didn't break the foreign race life form's shell, it made the foreign race life form spit out a mouthful of blood.
The foreign race life form's expression finally changed. His face was filled with pain.
It was painful. It was really painful.
"Damned human brat, how can you be so strong?"
"This isn't the power of the laws at all. It's pure power. How can you be so strong?"
"The power of the laws can't hurt This King at all. What kind of power is this?"
"You humans only have a few special physiques that are born with divine strength and are good at strength. Ordinary humans are not good at strength at all. How can your strength be so strong?"
The foreign race life form roared.
Qin Xiao sneered and said, "Do you want to know?"
"I'll tell you when you're dead. This is my secret. How can I tell you so easily?"
"If you want to know, go to hell."
This blow had a good effect. Qin Xiao was more confident now. He knew how to deal with this foreign race life form.
Now that he had found the direction, things would be easier. Everything would be revealed at the end of the tunnel.
Qin Xiao did not hesitate. He immediately smashed down with his hammer again, smashing heavily on the body of the foreign race life form.
Puff!
This blow made the foreign race life form spit out another mouthful of blood.
The foreign race life form could smell the danger of death, so he panicked a little. He wanted to break free and escape.
But how could Qin Xiao give him the chance to escape?
He used his spatial techniques to bind him tightly, striking again and again.
Every blow was powerful. The power penetrated the foreign race life form's shell and hit its body directly.
Every blow was able to injure the foreign race life form a little bit.
Every blow was able to take away the foreign race life form's life.
After five blows, the foreign race life form's aura weakened, and his face turned pale.
With one more blow, the foreign race life form would not be able to fight back.
The foreign race life form glared at Qin Xiao, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.
But there was no lethality in his gaze. It couldn't threaten Qin Xiao at all.
"Die." Qin Xiao didn't show any mercy. He struck again and struck heavily.
The last blow took away the foreign race life form's life.
Even though he had the upper hand, it took him a total of seven blows to kill the foreign race life form.
It wasn't easy. It really wasn't easy.
How could it be so troublesome to kill an ordinary second-step Ancient Saint?
One must know that Qin Xiao's strength was at the fourth-step Ancient Saint Stage.
The difference between a second-step Ancient Saint Stage and a fourth-step Ancient Saint Stage was two stages. Logically speaking, wouldn't a second-step Ancient Saint Stage be killed in an instant by a fourth-step Ancient Saint Stage? How could he possibly have the strength to fight back?
However, Qin Xiao had expended a great deal of effort on this foreign race life form. In total, he had used up over ten attacks before he finally managed to kill it.
After dealing with the foreign race life form, Qin Xiao kept it away.
"Sometimes, waiting for rabbits to show up is a good idea.
I've wasted so much time and caused quite a commotion. I'm afraid that some of the other life forms in the area will be alerted.
If there are any other life forms in the area, they might come over to take a look.
"Why don't I just stay here and see if I can stop a rabbit?"
Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Soon, he made up his mind. He would just wait here.
Qin Xiao did as he was told. Soon, he found a good spot and used his spatial technique to hide in it, waiting for rabbits to show up.
As it turned out, this move was quite useful sometimes.
It might seem like a simple move, but sometimes, it could have a miraculous effect.
After waiting for a short while, a foreign being really did arrive.
It was a strange-looking foreign race life form. It had three arms and three legs. Qin Xiao couldn't tell what it looked like.
It was a second-step Ancient Saint Stage life form.
Qin Xiao was naturally happy that his prey had taken the initiative to come to him. It saved him some trouble.
But the sad thing was that he only got one point for killing a second-step Ancient Saint Stage life form.
If he wanted to get a good point, how many second-step Ancient Saints would he have to kill?
"Since you've come to me, don't leave." Qin Xiao's lips curled up slightly.
Just as he was about to make his move, his heart skipped a beat. "No, wait a little longer. Let's see if there are other life forms coming.
That life form has been observing the place where the battle took place, but it didn't leave in a hurry. It's as if it's waiting for something.
There might be other life forms lurking in the dark. "
