Chapter 518: Realm Promotion
Chapter 518: Realm Promotion
In the previous thrilling attack, Wei Tao's two firebirds and the blood-crying whip's powerful blow to Wu Ming was indeed very powerful.
However, although their attack was extremely fierce, it was like hitting a solid wall of steel, and was weakened a lot by the tenacious resistance of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower and the layers of solid shields.
Generally speaking, if an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm faced with such a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the peak stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, even if he did not die immediately, he would definitely suffer serious injuries and be only a step away from death.
But Wu Ming is not an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator. He also has another unknown identity - a body cultivator.
What Wu Ming practiced was an extremely advanced body-refining technique - Hundred Refinements of True Body.
This technique not only made his body extremely strong, but also allowed his attainments in physical cultivation to far surpass his level in Qi training.
Because of this, although the attack of the old man in green seemed extremely powerful, the damage it actually caused to Wu Ming was not as great as it seemed.
The reason why Wu Ming looked so embarrassed was actually because he did it on purpose.
His purpose was to make the old man in green mistakenly believe that he had been seriously injured and thus let down his guard.
Unfortunately, whether it was because the old man in green was too cautious or for some other reason, Wu Ming's carefully planned disguise did not work as he wished and he did not succeed in deceiving the old man in green.
Therefore, when Wu Ming saw the old man in green using his magic weapon to launch a new round of fierce attacks on him, he no longer disguised himself but stood up suddenly.
Wu Ming threw out the last few talismans in his hand as quickly as an arrow.
These talismans drew dazzling rays of light in the air and transformed into several blazing flaming birds. These flaming birds were like an indestructible wall, blocking the fierce attack of the Blood-Weeping Whip.
In an instant, the atmosphere on the field became extremely tense, and a thrilling battle began.
Wei Tao was determined to capture Wu Ming alive so that he could torture him, but Wu Ming was struggling to hold on under Wei Tao's fierce attack and was defeated step by step.
Seeing that Wu Ming was about to be defeated, it seemed that this life-and-death battle had no suspense anymore.
However, at this critical moment, an unexpected change quietly took place.
Tang Shaolong, who had been lying lifeless on the ground, suddenly began to move.
I saw a rich energy of heaven and earth slowly gathering around him like a trickle, as if being pulled by some mysterious force.
This vital energy of heaven and earth was like a sweet rain, nourishing Tang Shaolong's scarred body. His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face, which was originally as pale as paper, gradually regained its color.
Wu Ming and the old man in blue, Wei Tao, who were fighting fiercely, were unaware of this magical scene.
As time went by, the vital energy of heaven and earth gathered more and more, and finally reached a critical point at a certain moment.
The first person to notice this abnormality was Wei Tao, who was fighting with Wu Ming.
"Oh no, is he going to break through?"
Wei Tao's heart sank suddenly, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
He had never expected that Tang Shaolong would break through at this time. This was really unexpected!
Wei Tao was in a panic. He had no time to think about other things. The only thing in his eyes was Tang Shaolong's figure that was about to break through.
He knew very well that if Tang Shaolong succeeded in breaking through, it would not be so easy for him to complete the mission.
Thinking of this, Wei Tao no longer cared about Wu Ming's attack. He quickly turned the Blood-Crying Whip around and attacked Tang Shaolong straight away like a flash of lightning.
At this time, Wu Ming also discovered Tang Shaolong's abnormality.
His eyes were fixed on Tang Shaolong, watching the aura around him grow stronger and stronger, and it was obvious that he was about to break through to a new realm.
Wu Ming naturally would not let the old man in green succeed. He did not hesitate to mobilize the last two or three layers of true energy in his body, completely disregarding his own defense, and used all his strength to perform the sword light differentiation technique in the Qingyun Sword Technique.
In an instant, hundreds of sword lights, like meteors in the night sky, cut through the void and slashed straight towards the old man in green.
Each sword light contained endless power, as if it was going to tear the old man in green into pieces.
At the same time, the Qingyun Sword in Wu Ming's hand shot straight towards the old man in green like an arrow.
The speed of this sword is extremely fast, like lightning, making it impossible to dodge.
Faced with such a fierce attack, the old man in green had to stop attacking Tang Shaolong and turn to defense with all his strength.
The long whip in his hand was like a spirit snake, dancing rapidly in the air, trying to block Wu Ming's Qingyun Sword.
After doing all this, Wu Ming felt as if his body was hollowed out, and even his consciousness became blurred.
He quickly reached for the storage bag at his waist, took out a handful of spirit stones with trembling hands, and held them tightly in his hand, trying to use it to replenish his almost exhausted true energy.
However, to his disappointment, the effect of this spirit stone was minimal.
Not only that, as the true energy flowed in, the tendons and veins in his body began to feel severe pain, as if they were about to be torn apart.
Wu Ming was shocked and realized the seriousness of the problem.
It turned out that in the fierce battle just now, in order to be able to continue to fight against the old man in green, he took a large amount of elixirs and spirit stones to restore his true energy in a short period of time.
Although these pills and spirit stones did help him recover his true essence to a certain extent, they also placed a huge burden on his body.
Now, his body has reached its limit and can no longer withstand more true energy replenishment.
This is what led to his current bad condition.
As for why Wu Ming is trying so hard, the reason is actually very simple.
He knew very well that it was impossible for him to defeat the old man in green with his own strength.
Senior Brother Tang’s advancement in realm is their only chance.
If the old man in green were to ruin Senior Brother Tang's promotion, then they would really be left with nowhere to go.
That's why Wu Ming attacked with all his might, trying to delay the attack of the old man in green as much as possible and buy more time for Senior Brother Tang Shaolong.
However, Wu Ming is not without a backup plan.
At this moment, he was holding a talisman tightly in his palm.
And this talisman is his last trump card - the underground escape talisman.
If he is ultimately unable to withstand the attack of the old man in green, causing Senior Brother Tang Shaolong to fail in his promotion, then Wu Ming will not hesitate to crush the earth escape talisman and use its power to escape from here.
After all, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
