Chapter 323: We shall meet again

Li Meng was a battle freak who hadn't unleashed his full strength for a very long time. He initially undermined Li Xuanfa, but the Yin-Devil transform awakened his hope in him. He felt that this guy was a worthy rival if he could use art like this with the proper expertise. He then began to use all his meridians and acupoints, unleashing the full power of his body.

The Strikes of Thunder he used this time was going to be the actual extent of power that he could extrude through his body. Months of practice within the Crimson Lord world had increased his proficiency in the art to the maximum. He waited for Li Xuanfa's transformation to complete while using the runes within his body to heal himself up. 

The deal transformed into a more opaque form, with the energy surrounding it getting denser.

"I thank you for the help in transforming my devil to the second form. I will use its energy to defeat you. Li Xuanfa pointed out. He then raised his hand and a black sword materialized in his hands. Li Meng responded by using his fist intent to cover both of his gloves. He knew that Li xuanfa had managed to reach the level of sword-body and the only way he would be able to confront him was by compensating for the power by other means.

That is where the body cultivation and law energy came into play. Strikes of Thunder was constituted of multiple law energy working together in harmony and it gave Li meng the perfect opportunity to fight against Li Xuanfa.

The two confronted once again. Li Meng's fist came in contact with the Black sword and sparks could be seen flying around. The residual energy from the tackle resulted in the surrounding area being destroyed, but the two remained static mid-air. LI meng then turned his body to attack with his left fist.

LI Xuanafa responded by tilting the blade in the direction and brandishing his other hand towards Li meng's face. The attack resulted in LI meng being blasted into the distance. He could feel his skin being peeled off and burned. The force from the attack was massive. Li Meng decided to be serious in his attacks.

He took out the black Dragon sword and used the energy from Strike of Thunder to execute a rare combination of sword art he had recently invented. The sword energy directly cut through the black sword and stopped halfway into it. Li Xuanfa left the sword handle, which resulted in the sword vanishing from the spot. while raising his other hand.

The sword reappeared in his other hand and he swiftly slashed it at Li meng. Li Meng was surprised by the capability of this Yin-Devil. He simply turned around and tilted his whole body towards the upper edge of the sword, escaping it by inches. He then pushed the Phantom's body and managed to create some distance between them.

While Li Xuanfa didn't agree with giving LI meng a chance to figure out a plan, Li Meng decided to play a dodging game. His movements arts were much more profound than Li Xuanfa who couldn't even use most of it due to Yin-Devil transformation. Li Meng decided to mix up multiple movements art, which resulted in a rather awkward, but random set of movements.

The Yin-Devil grew impatient and tried to attack Li Meng in a hurry, but he couldn't keep up with LI meng.

........................

" Do you have any suggestions for me?" Long Tao asked the Keeper.

"Using the full potential of your body cultivation along with Strikes fo Thunder should be able to take care of him. Another way is to use Dominator's arts. You have managed to create 4 types of Dominators arts, and two simultaneous movements should be able to take care of it."

"Any other means. I want to frustrate him." Long Tao's character was getting worse as time passed by.

"The Yin-Transform consumes a humongous amount of energy and he must have sacrificed a lot of reserves just like he said to even keep it running. If you continue to evade his attack for another incense stick or two, you should be able to exhaust him. Either he gives up, or he will die due to overconsumption of Qi."

"That is the way to go then." Long Tao had decided.

"But I have to warn you that he seems to possess similar characteristics to Rakta Transformation. His strength, instincts, and speed will go higher as more time passes. The more you try to delay it, the higher will be its strength. I don't think the game could run for much longer with your current arts."

'What if I used wind law energy?"

"You haven't even practiced wind laws properly and you have never tried to infuse it with any movement art. Trying to do so wouldn't only be impractical, but also will consume a lot of Qi and unforeseen events might take place."

"I guess we could only try it out."

...........................….

Li Meng activated all the acupoints in his legs, as his speed increased by a notch. He was actively avoiding the Yin-Transform's attack while trying to look serious. He managed to create an illusion in LI Xuanfa's mind that he might be formulating some plans. It led to LI Xuanaf getting more aggressive and attacking him.

It was only after a series of attacks have been wasted for no reason, that Li Xuanaf realized his own mistake.

"You deceived me." He figured out LI meng's plans. He was trying to exhaust his reserves.

"I didn't say anything." Li Meng pointed out.

Unfortunately, a lot of Qi had been wasted. Li Xuanfa tried his best to calm himself down. He couldn't let his mentality suffer an attack or the yin-Devil will consume him and turn into a beast with no leash.

Li Meng decided to change the pace a bit, by using the dragon emperor blade to attack. He used the one of moves in the Heaven Cleaver tome, and it managed to pierce through the transform and cut Li Xuanfa. Li Xuanfa acted back with another attack, and the brawl continued once again.

It was only after a lot of time had passed, that Li meng got a good vantage point. Both the parties had exhausted quite a bit of Qi, but Li Xuanfa'a condition was much worse than Li meng. He decided to take the opportunity and jumped above the Yin-Devil, using the Dominator's fist art.

He decided to use the second move, which was called ocean piercer. The power was so immense that LI Xuanfa's transform was pierced through and it landed on his lower chest area, breaking all the rib bones in the process. LI Xuanaf was forcefully ejected out of the transform, and blast backward. His chest was caved in, and he spewed a lot of blood.

The attack's impact was too huge to recover from, and he soon lost his consciousness. The battle was concluded and LI meng turned towards Yin Luo. 

"Since I promised him to let you go, I will let you take your master to safety. There must be some pills left in the box. If you could crawl towards him and take some of those, you should be able to recover completely and save your commander. Good luck." Li Meng then went towards Huang's body picked it up, and began to leave.

He was almost out of sight when he turned around and said. 

"We shall meet again."
