Chapter 85



85 Chapter 85, breaking through by force?

At this moment, du Xiongwu prepared to use poison.

To achieve his goal, he would use any means necessary. This was the principle that du Xiongwu followed. He was able to become a rank 8 martial artist when he was in his prime. Moreover, he became the master of the divine might martial school because he would use any means necessary.

Du Xiongwu’s poison wasn’t applied to the hook knife in his hand. Instead, it was applied to a few silver needles that he carried on his body.

At this moment, in the eyes of the crowd, it was as if the two of them were resting. However, both of them knew that this was just a preparation for their final move.

Peng

All of a sudden, du Xiongwu moved first.

Yang Tian had been paying close attention to du Xiongwu’s movements, and as soon as the other party moved, du Xiongwu moved as well.

Peng! Chi..

The two weapons collided once more, and in the midst of the stalemate, a sound of friction could be heard.

The powerful force of the two sides repelled the other party once more.

Right at this moment!

Pu Pu Pu..

Several streaks of silver light shot out from du Xiongwu’s left hand and landed on Yang Tian’s body.

Hidden Weapon!

Yang Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thought appeared in his mind. His body moved, and he charged toward du Xiongwu once more.

From the moment the two of them separated, du Xiongwu shot out the silver needles, and then to the moment Yang Tian suddenly charged toward du Xiongwu once more, all of this happened in an instant. Most people did not notice the silver needles that du Xiongwu shot out, and only a few level six or seven martial artists who were watching the battle could see it.

Among these people, there were naturally some who were not ashamed of du Xiongwu’s actions. However, this was a life and death battle. If one was defeated, it was possible that one would die. No matter what method one used, one would be speechless.

Seeing that his silver needles had hit Yang Tian’s chest and abdomen, du Xiongwu was delighted. He knew that Yang Tian did not wear leather armor. No matter how tough his body was, his silver needles would still pierce through his skin. These silver-white needles, which were made of alloy, had been soaked in the venom of a grade-8 sea dragon. Du Xiongwu felt extremely uncomfortable when carrying them on his body. He was also very careful when activating them. This was because once this kind of poison entered the human body, it would cause harm to the person.

Even if Yang Tian was a grade-8 martial artist, as long as one of the silver needles pierced through his skin, although he would not die, his body would quickly become numb and his mobility would be greatly reduced. At this time, it was time for him to obtain victory.

Killing Yang Tian was something that du Xiongwu had been looking forward to for a long time.

Facing Yang Tian who was charging at him, du Xiongwu also moved and once again exchanged a few moves with Yang Tian.

During this process, Yang Tian intentionally slowed down the speed of his blade, narrowly avoiding du Xiongwu’s blade, and intentionally made a shocked expression.

Du Xiongwu, on the other hand, laughed complacently.

Yang Tian did this, of course, to let the other party think that he had been poisoned. He had already guessed that du Xiongwu must have smeared poison on the needle.

Letting the other party be careless was the experience that Yang Tian had gained from countless battles with others.

In the past half a year, not only had Yang Tian’s realm improved, but he had also gained a lot of experience in defeating his opponent. Apart from making use of the surrounding environment, these experiences were also psychological tactics.

In a life and death battle, one could not be distracted at all. Underestimating and being careless would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Yang Tian shouted and fell back.

When du Xiongwu saw this situation, he was delighted. He moved his legs and flashed in front of Yang Tian, slashing down at Yang Tian’s neck.

At this moment, the cold smile on du Xiongwu’s face was clearly reflected in Yang Tian’s eyes. In du Xiongwu’s cold smile, there was a kind of excitement, an excitement that was about to take revenge, as well as a kind of ruthlessness and coldness.

“Clang! PFFT!”

Unexpectedly, Yang Tian suddenly moved. He twisted his waist, and his body started to spin. The knife in his hand flicked du Xiongwu’s knife away, and his body spun once again. The knife in his hand ruthlessly chopped at du Xiongwu’s abdomen.

Although this knife didn’t cut du Xiongwu’s abdomen open, it sent him flying.

To the people watching the duel, Yang Tian’s action was really… Too Cool!

Du Xiongwu’s body flew more than ten meters away and crashed heavily on the ground.

This attack didn’t cause any fatal damage to du Xiongwu. He quickly bounced up.

“You…”

After swallowing a mouthful of blood that had surged into his mouth, du Xiongwu raised his saber and pointed it at Yang Tian, unable to speak. He really wanted to ask Yang Tian why he was fine after being hit by the poisonous needle.

Yang Tian would not tell him that his skin had grown dragon armor, so of course it could block the silver needle.

“You have already lost. Do you still want to fight?”Yang Tian looked at du Xiongwu and asked faintly.

To du Xiongwu, the next question was a multiple choice question.

He was already injured. If he were to fight Yang Tian, he would lose sooner or later. If he were to admit defeat without fighting, then it would be very difficult to take revenge for killing his son. It would be impossible for him to use the strength of the martial arts school to deal with Yang Tian.

Also, he would not be able to live with his pride.

Du Xiongwu’s expression was gloomy and uncertain. When the people beside him saw this, they all started to feel conflicted for him.

“Make your decision!”

At this moment, Yang Tian said indifferently again.

“Make your decision!”These four words popped out from Yang Tian’s mouth, and it was as if four sharp blades had pierced into du Xiongwu’s heart.

These were words that a powerhouse said to a weakling. Du Xiongwu sounded so ear-piercing. Since when had he, du Xiongwu, become a weakling…

Looking at Yang Tian’s smiling face, du Xiongwu gritted his teeth and sneered. He raised his saber and pointed it at Yang Tian. His eyes narrowed slightly. “Kid, don’t think that you’ll win just because I’m injured!”

After du Xiongwu said that, he casually threw the saber in his hand and stabbed it not far away.

Did he mean to give up?

Obviously not. After throwing the saber in his hand on the ground, du Xiongwu clenched his fists. His eyes suddenly turned blood-red, as if blood was about to ooze out.

It was not just his eyes. Du Xiongwu’s skin was also changing. At this moment, the blood vessels under his skin could be seen gradually protruding. His entire body seemed to be covered with tree roots.

What was going on?

Many of the martial artists watching could not help but frown.

“Stop!”

At this moment, a loud shout was heard!

Before the voice faded, a figure appeared on the scene.

Old Qin!

The person who came was Qin Zhengyang.

Old Qin looked at du Xiongwu, he said indifferently, “Activate the hidden force in your body and forcefully break through the realm. Without swallowing the Grade-9 beast core, this is equivalent to drawing out your own life force. Although you can reach the realm of a grade-9 martial artist in a short time, what happens after that? “Have you thought about the consequences?”

Du Xiongwu sneered, “A man can be killed, but not humiliated! Today, I will not rest until I kill Yang Tian!”

Rank 9 martial artist!

Yang Tian only knew after hearing elder Qin’s words that du Xiongwu actually wanted to forcefully break through and reach the rank 9 martial artist realm! Of course, du Xiongwu’s method was to harm the body as the price. The rank 9 martial artist realm could not last long.

Yang Tian wasn’t the only one who was surprised. The surrounding spectators were also very surprised. A rank 8 martial artist could break through to the rank 9 martial artist’s realm without consuming a rank 9 beast core. This… was too incredible!
