Fang Han’S arms were completely severed, leaving only gruesome fragments of shattered bone
exposed at his wrists. He presented a ghastly sight.
Blood continued to ooze from his wounds, and Fang Han could feel his own body heat fleeing, leaving
him increasingly weak.
His entire body throbbed with excruciating pain, but he now felt as if he had been numbed to it.
Completely undeterred by his injuries, he stared at Tang Luo, his eyes filled with confusion and
disbelief.
There is no way the gap could be so wide! I am invincible in the Mortal Realm how could I possibly fall
to your hands, not even managing to withstand a single blow? That is impossible. What tactics did you
employ?
Fang Han could hardly believe what had happened, and even if he was to die, he wanted to
understand why.
“It’S your bad luck.” Tang Luo casually pulled over a piece of heavy wood and sat down on it.
Had Fang Han fled earlier, at a time when Tang Luo had just materialized from a star and had no
spiritual power for introspection, he obviously would not have been able to track down Fang Han based
on the star’s location. During the nearing four-day vacuum period, even if the Martial Hall discovered
Fang Han’s defection, he would be thousands of miles away carried by the tide Although Tang Luo
would still be able to track him down through the star it would definitely not be as easy as it was now.
If Fang Han had not picked the time when Tang Luo was bringing his little brother home and had waited
for a few more days, Tang Luo would have transformed the newborn spiritual power into a star again.
This gap would have been enough to allow Fang Han to escape thousands of miles away. Then, there
was Fang Han’s biggest mistake. He had underestimated Tang Luo’s strength.
The Combined Attack Technique, a combination martial technique, has been designed from its
inception to combine the forces of lower realms through a specific frequency to achieve the ability to kill
across realms.
In a continent where martial arts are respected, why do the noble families and dans always hold the
pinnacle of power? Are they relying on the rare geniuses that appear only once in many years?
What if these geniuses become decadent, or perish, or are severely injured, or the family does not
produce a genius in a certain generation?novelbin
It s ridiculous to think about the possibility of putting all faith of the century-old family base on such an
uncertain factor.
Therefore, the attitude of the noble families towards geniuses has always been: if there are any, that’s
certainly great. The clan will provide the best techniques, the most resources, and the greatest support
to assist them.
But even without geniuses, a noble family is still a noble family, because the noble families have bred
countless generations of martial arts teams.
Perhaps in single combat, a martial artist from a noble family might not be as good as a wandering
martial artist who has gone through life and death However, if both sides were to clash as teams, a
team of three martial artists from the noble family could beat more than ten wandering martial artists.
Moreover, noble families who have practiced the Combined Attack Technique also possess the ability
to cross realms and go to war in teams. Three Mortal Realm martial artists can target and kill those
who have shed their mortal bodies, and three such individuals can rival those in the Fierce Realm. This
is the strength of the noble families on this continent.
The gap between commoners and nobles is never about the realm, but about the depth of
understanding of strength and its application.
A wandering martial artist who has suffered untold hardships to cultivate to the Fierce Realm might
think they can dominate one side and swagger around If they provoke a noble family, the noble family
only needs to dispatch three teams of seasoned martial artists who have shed their mortal state, and
they will be able to kill them without even giving them a chance to fight back.
The family has money, a lot of resources, many strong individuals, and many teams. With this ruthless
attitude, they stand above all wandering martial artists.
Of course, there are also many stories in the books about wandering martial artists who have cultivated
to the King Realm and have become powerful elites who live their lives freely and take revenge as they
please.
Indeed, towards the King Realm, the noble families adopt a different approach. They will try to please
you, but remember, pleasing you does not equate to fearing you. After all, you have the ability to
negotiate with the noble families on an equal footing as an individual once you have reached the King
Realm. The cost of wanting to trick and kill you is too great, it’s better to befriend you After all, every
martial artist in the Fierce Realm within the clan is precious Who would want to fight a life and death
battle with you for no reason?
Noble families play the game of human sentiments and worldly wisdom not fighting and killing.
So the noble family will treat you as an equal. If you get along well, then they will help you build a noble
family centered around you. In this way the “Wandering Martial Artists’ Legends” popular among the
people will become a new powerful noble family.
Not afraid of a powerful enemy, but afraid of an enemy who has nothing to lose. When a martial artist of
the King Realm has family and children, they naturally start to compromise and learn about the worldly
wisdom. After all they have children, right?
This is the unspoken rule of the Martial Arts Continent. Hence, unless you are overwhelmingly strong, a
martial artist is not worth a second glance to the noble clans.
After all, any smallest noble family in Xiling has the ability to kill an ordinary
Fierce Realm martial artist.
So, before Fang Han claimed to be invincible in the Mortal Realm, he should add four more words,
“when fighting alone”.
But Tang Luo is destined to be an anomaly. Since all his spiritual powers are used up at once, he isn’t
restrained by the need to regain his powers, and he can use the Combined Attack Technique, which
usually requires two or more people, on his own.
Furthermore, Tang Bin had given a large number of secrets of the Combined Attack Technique to Tang
Luo, hoping that he could devise more moves that could fit the Heavenly Pathway Technique and
Tongtian Domination Scroll of the Tang Clan.
These secrets further enhanced Tang Luo’s understanding of the moves to another level. While most
martial artists are still figuring out how to control their energy, output spiritual power, and develop the
power of their moves, he is already researching the frequency of spiritual energy, the resonance of ’
moves, the integration of martial skills, and the variation in spiritual power. This simply isn’t on the
same level. Many Fierce Realm individuals may not comprehend the things Tang Luo is studying and
may only have a vague understanding.
For instance, the move just now was a small achievement of his research However, this move is useful
only to Tang Luo and no one else.
The basis of this move is the Tang Clan’s signature Combined Attack Technique, “Wind Attack Thrice”.
The power of Wind Attack is optimized when each force outputs fifty points of spiritual power. As a
result, it is the most frequently used Combined Attack Technique in minor teams.
The output of one hundred and fifty points of spiritual power by three people can allow the team to yield
force surpassing those in the realm of shedding mortality. After hundreds of years of research and
trials, there is no room for further improvement of this move—it is practically perfect.
In Tang Luo’s eyes, when “Wind Attack Thrice” is performed by him alone, it is not as outstanding.
Even without the need for energy recovery, Tang Luo still needs to condense forces. One for the left
hand and another for the right hand, but what about the third one. Of course, he could quickly
condense a third force with both hands after releasing the first two, but it would be really difficult to
achieve maximum spiritual power.
Unless, like during training, he reduces the output of spiritual power, which would significantly reduce
the power of the move.
Therefore, Tang Luo modified “Wind Attack Thrice” slightly, transforming the palm energy into finger
energy. Each of his fingers would condense thirty points of “Wind Attack” energy, which would then be
combined and explode. Within a short distance, this could certainly achieve the effect of “Wind Attack
Thrice”.
It can only be said that three is indeed the most stable number. Although this set of “Wind Attack
Finger” is similar to “Wind Attack Thrice” in terms of its close-range strength, its penetrating power of
spiral energy and the time of condensing energy itself is significantly inferior.
However, it makes the technique easier to execute, and when the five “Wind Attack” finger energies
combine, it can explode with even more powerful spiral energy, which is perfect for dissolving some
long-range attack techniques. The “Hidden Blade” of the Innate Star Blade is indeed a formidable
move. The spiritual blades it condenses are extremely sharp, but the disadvantage lies in the fact that
it’s made of spiritual power; they can be easily crushed when they encounter more violent spiritual
power.
That’s why Tang Luo would curse Fang Han for being a damn fool. If he had fought Tang Luo with his
flawless “Black Tiger Claw” given his agility, even if he was hit directly, he would not have been in such
dire straits, bleeding profusely, and on the verge of death.
On the other hand, Tang Luo has exhausted all his spiritual power, just enough for this one move. If
Fang Han was not seriously injured, Tang Luo would have had to cry for help loudly.
After all, he can give chase to the star again, but he only has one life.
But Fang Han just had to fight with the spirit blade against the force, aiming to achieve everything in
one fell swoop.
That’s how he ended up in such a dire situation after just one move. He himself was largely to blame
for this..
