C72 A Miserable Victory
However, even if the old man knew what was going on, Sun Bing's attack was just too fast. After ten years of continuous practice, he was very familiar with the wooden sword. He had completely mastered it, and with the help of the Sword Drawing Arts and the speed of Floating Light, he was able to use it freely.
All kinds of necessary conditions had caused Sun Bing's move to be fast, accurate, and ruthless.
In fact, under such hasty conditions, even if the old man had reacted mentally, his physical body would not be able to react in time. He immediately used all his strength to move his body, and then circulated the Genuine Qi in his body to defend himself.
Without a doubt, he still failed in the end. Although Cultivator of the Qi-cultivation Realm's body was stronger, this was nothing in front of the wooden sword. Sun Bing felt as if the sword in his hand had touched an object, and after going through a slight hindrance... The sword in his hand easily broke into it. Obviously... This attack had injured the old man.
After succeeding in the first strike, Sun Bing didn't pursue the old man, because none of the Qi Refining Stage warriors could be so stupid. He immediately retreated as fast as he could, leaving only an afterimage behind.
Then, Sun Bing saw a complete body appear on the chest of the afterimage. After that, the afterimage slowly faded away. The old man clenched his right fist tightly and stood in the air.
It was hard to imagine what would happen if Sun Bing wasn't so determined just now. Although he might not die under this attack, at least Sun Bing would be seriously injured and lose all ability to resist.
At this moment, there was a sword wound on the left side of the old man's chest. The wound was so deep that bones could be seen. However, because he had forcefully suppressed the wound, there wasn't much blood seeping out. However, without a doubt, he had lost at least a third of his combat strength.
However, Sun Bing still felt pity in his heart. Just now, he had aimed at the old man's heart. Unfortunately, the old man's reaction speed was too fast. Even in the blink of an eye, he was able to move at a certain speed. If he was any slower, the old man might have dodged the attack.
At this moment, the old man's back was covered in cold sweat. Just now, he had simply brushed past Death. But in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but become furious, because he had been stabbed by a Body Quenching Stage warrior. Although no one had found out about this, to him, this was a great insult. Only Sun Bing's blood could wash away this humiliation.
He immediately circulated all the Genuine Qi in his body. His clothes were even propped up by the powerful Genuine Qi. His originally thin and weak body was now incomparably tall. The old man slowly stretched out his palm and slapped towards Sun Bing.
"As expected, even if a Cultivator of the Qi-cultivation Realm is injured, they are not people that an ordinary Body Quenching Stage can defend against." Sun Bing sighed in his heart, because before this palm could even touch his body, he could already feel a tremendous pressure coming from all over his body, and he couldn't even break free from it.
This was something that Sun Bing had never encountered before. He had encountered so many opponents, including those who cultivated the pugilistic arts and Palm Arts. When they waved their palms, they also carried a huge palm wind. Although it had a certain amount of pressure on him, he could easily break through it.
However, the palm wind of this old man made it difficult for Sun Bing to move. At this moment, Sun Bing's face had turned slightly red. Looking at the palm that was getting closer and closer, Sun Bing's heart was filled with fury.
If this palm really came into contact with him, he would definitely die. He immediately let out a furious roar, and all the momentum on his body burst forth once again.
Although the palm force of the old man was strong, Sun Bing's momentum still cut off this feeling. In an instant, Sun Bing felt his body relax. After that, he retreated as fast as he could.
At the same time, Sun Bing didn't give up on attacking. He immediately shot out a Sword Qi at his wound.
Because the attack just now was from his opponent, the circulation of the Genuine Qi in his body had increased by a lot. Therefore, the sealed wound was gradually bleeding. Sun Bing's attack was undoubtedly deepening the wound. If it was stabbed again, even if he was a Qi Refining Stage warrior, he wouldn't be able to suppress such an injury.
He could only block it at once. The second attack disappeared once again. At this moment, the two of them were evenly matched. Both sides looked at each other and continued to attack.
Sun Bing was bleeding while confronting the old man.
"Sun Bing, as long as you give me your footwork manual and wooden sword, I can let you go." The old man smiled and said.
"Don't even think about it. I only believe in the sword in my hand for the rest of my life. If I hand the sword to you, that would be true death. " Sun Bing saw through his intention with a single glance. All of Sun Bing's cultivation base was on this sword. If he lost this sword... He was just an ordinary ninth level of Body Quenching Stage warrior. He was no match for him.
At this moment, the old man was using words to attack. It was obvious that the exchange just now had consumed a lot of his energy. As long as he persisted, he would win.
Sun Bing's guess was correct. Due to the long journey, the old man's Qi and blood were surging. He was stabbed right after the start of the battle. His combat strength was only at the fifth layer. The two of them were in a deadlock.
The reason why he was confronting him now was because he wanted to calm down the Qi and blood in his body.
After all, Sun Bing was only a ninth level of Body Quenching Stage warrior. After such a long period of time, the Genuine Qi in his body had almost been used up. At this moment, he was making the best use of his time to recover his Genuine Qi.
Suddenly, the aura on the old man's body fluctuated. His right palm struck out once again. This time, it was even more powerful than before. It was obvious that the old man had already calmed the surging blood flow.
However, Sun Bing had also recovered half of his Genuine Qi. He had no fear of this attack at all. He immediately waved the wooden sword.
"Sweeping the Ground!"
Currently, the Sword Controlling Spell had reached an extremely high level. This attack of Sun Bing had sent out dozens of Sword Qi, and they collided with the huge palm wind. Sun Bing didn't suffer any injuries at all.
However, they had been in a stalemate for a long time. One of them was seriously injured, and the other had exhausted all the Genuine Qi in his body. They couldn't afford to waste any more time. Therefore, they didn't stop at all, and started the final battle.
They continued to attack ten times, a hundred times.
However, the two of them were unable to defeat each other in the end. Immediately, their faces could not help but be somewhat solemn, as if they had a telepathic connection and used their final move.
"Mountain Split Rocks!"
"Fatal Blow!!"
This palm strike was condensed from the last Genuine Qi left in the old man's body. Adding the Great Monument Palm that the old man had comprehended for so many years, it could be said that this palm strike had reached the perfection, and its power was astonishing.
However, Sun Bing wasn't any weaker. As the first technique of the Sword Controlling Spell, Sun Bing had even added the Sword Drawing Arts into it. Even if this technique wasn't as powerful as the first sword strike, few people could dodge it.
The wind from the palm and the Sword Qi clashed, and the snow on the ground was blown away layer by layer. Suddenly, a smile appeared on Sun Bing's face. After all, his Genuine Qi was too condensed, and it was even more condensed than an ordinary Qi Refining Stage. After the Sword Qi was mostly used up, the Sword Qi finally passed through the palm wind.
Blood splashed everywhere, and blood stains appeared on the ground in the distance. The blood stains were especially bright on the white snow. At this moment, the old man was already dead. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and terror. He had left the world just like that.
But at this moment, Sun Bing felt a sharp pain all over his body. When he looked at the Dantian again, he found that it was empty. Fortunately, the jade bead was still replenishing itself.
In this battle between Sun Bing and a Qi Refining Stage warrior, he was still slightly superior. Although it was a miserable victory, it was still a huge breakthrough. After all, he was only a ninth level of Body Quenching Stage warrior.
