Seeing the opponent swinging his sword towards him, Tian Jihong still showed a trembling look on his face. This undoubtedly made Mo Lu feel more at ease. In his opinion, the other party was obviously not as strong as him and only wanted to escape, and would not consider confronting him head-on. Therefore, when he was distracted and paying attention to whether Tianjihong would escape, the power of the sword that stabbed Tianjihong in the face was also greatly limited.
However, Tianjihong still endured it. Knowing that the opponent still had a way to save his life, Tianjihong still did not choose to show his full strength so quickly and launch a counterattack. Although Mo Lu is arrogant and has a bad character, it does not mean that the other party is a fool. Even if the opponent's moves towards him at this moment reveal many flaws, Tianjihong still chooses to defeat the enemy with one blow even though he cannot guarantee that he will. Pretending to be defeated. He could see that the opponent's sword thrust was not entirely too powerful. If he launched an attack rashly, he might have other means to protect himself secretly.
Therefore, Tian Jihong pretended to look around and seemed to be looking for a way to escape; on the other hand, he deliberately put away 70% of his strength and used only his arms to deflect the incoming dagger from the side and avoid it. own vital parts. After hearing a clear "ding" sound, the short-edged sword edge touched the mail on Tianjihong's right clavicle, and a powerful impact force immediately forced Tianjihong back a dozen steps.
Fortunately, Tianjihong's judgment did not deviate too much. Under the protection of the silver armor, the lethality coming from the sword's edge had been offset by more than half. Then Tianjihong relied on his extraordinary physical fitness to resolve all the spiritual attacks that entered his body from the sword's edge. Tian Jihong seemed to be beaten back by the opponent's moves, but in fact, this embarrassed look was probably a show he made to confuse his opponent. In less than half a minute, Tianjihong quickly suppressed the rising blood energy in his body, and his eyes quietly stared at the opponent's actions, waiting for the next attack.
Mo Lu, who was on the opposite side, was slightly surprised when he saw that the opponent did not show signs of decline under his sword. However, after seeing Tianjihong being pushed back several meters by his sword energy, he still didn't notice anything was wrong. Looking at Tianjihong's disheveled face as if facing a powerful enemy, Mo Lu snorted again and said sternly:
"Hmph! It's not bad. I really didn't expect that with your mere cultivation in the body-refining realm, you could withstand my sword without dying under the protection of the treasure armor. Putting such a treasure in your hands is indeed a waste. But unfortunately, that was just my warm-up. Today, I want you to experience my Mo family’s unique skill [Hundred Beasts Xingyiquan]. I want to see you, a young boy whose spiritual power is far inferior to mine. , How long can one treasure phantom alone stop me!"
After saying that, Mo Lu quickly put away the dagger in his hand, stood upright with his feet together and settled his center of gravity. He raised his arms to his chest and turned his palms outward; then, after slowly mobilizing the spiritual power in his body, Mo Lu bowed slightly. He took a step towards Tianjihong who was not far away, and instantly closed his fist with his right hand. Dark purple spiritual power surged in the center of the fist, and he directly swung a fist towards Tianjihong's face. With a set of smooth movements, Mo Lu was like a tiger pouncing on food, erupting with terrifying power that far exceeded the previous use of the dagger.
At the critical moment, Tianjihong had no time to think carefully about the loopholes in the opponent's moves. He himself is not completely ignorant of Xingyiquan. Xingyiquan is a self-cultivation boxing method that is widely spread in the mainland. When he was practicing bodybuilding when he was a child, his father also gave him relevant knowledge. But today, the opponent is a member of the Mo family. Since he claims that the so-called Hundred Beasts Xingyi Quan is his family's unique skill, then there must be improvements on the basic boxing techniques to match the skills practiced by the Mo family members. More powerful.
Seeing this fierce punch, Tianjihong didn't dare to push it too hard at this time. The essence of Xingyiquan is to move forward bravely and strike first. When facing the opponent's first attack at the peak of his momentum, Tianjihong, who still did not want to expose his full strength, had no intention of taking the punch forcefully. Therefore, the moment before the powerful spiritual power came into contact with his Tianling Cap, Tianjihong saw the opportunity and quickly lowered his head, then turned sideways to dodge away from the opponent.
What he hoped for was that since he couldn't find any flaws in the opponent's moves for a while, he might as well use his own speed to avoid their sharp edges and leave his opponent with nowhere to use his strength. After Mo Lu's three-axe attack passed, he should be able to do it. I can think of a way to break this punch.
It's just that as an opponent, Mo Lu didn't take Tianjihong seriously at all. From the beginning, he came with the idea of resolving the battle quickly. At this moment, Tianjihong's ghostly speed suddenly showed off, which really surprised him again; but fortunately, the Hundred Beasts Xingyiquan, as the Mo family's secret skill, is not a reputation that is randomly boasted. It contains the key to making it difficult for the enemy to escape. Naturally, the Hundred Beasts Xingyiquan has a special method of restraint against an opponent who is faster than himself.
Mo Lu, who woke up at this moment, immediately changed his move. His right arm changed into a snake shape and used a hand wrap, and continued to attack the gap on Tianjihong's back when he dodged. This quick change of moves really made Tianjihong suffer a loss, who had not yet stabilized his body. When the snake-like hand wrapped in silk rushed straight into his armpit from behind, Tianji was restrained by his elbow. Hong had no choice but to give up his strategy of turning around and fighting back.
In order not to be completely restrained by this clinging snake hand, Tianjihong simply stopped getting up and continued to lower his body and rolled downwards. Only then did he successfully get rid of the danger of being suppressed by the opponent's follow-up body. When Mo Lu saw that his plan failed, he turned his palms into claws. Like a falcon, he began to take advantage of his superior body and turned to attack Tianji Hong who was lying on the ground.
After this set of coherent moves, Tian Jihong, who was tired of dealing with it, felt a little unable to do what he wanted. Although with his physical strength, even if he was hit by this set of boxing techniques, there should not be too serious injuries; but Tianjihong still couldn't help but sigh at the excellence of this set of boxing skills, which is the special skill of the Mo family. , it is indeed difficult for him to find flaws in the moves.
Although Mo Lu seems to have only been practicing for a year or two, his use of this boxing technique is enough to achieve some success. Tianjihong speculated that most of them were like himself, and had studied this martial arts before starting to practice spiritual power. Otherwise, they would never have mastered this unique skill to such an extent in such a short period of time. Fortunately, his physical fitness is much better than that of Mo Lu. Otherwise, if he were to find an opponent with similar strength to him today, Tianjihong would not dare to say whether he could successfully take on this set of Hundred Beasts Xingyi Fist. A series of fierce attacks.
In the next few minutes, the two men engaged in a close physical fight. Naturally, Tianjihong didn't mention it. When he deliberately concealed his true strength, he was more in a passive parrying situation. Anyway, even if he failed to avoid the opponent's heavy punch, he could use his physical body to resolve the offensive in time. The harm comes. Mo Lu's set of martial arts skills is indeed outstanding, but it is a pity that the gap in physical fitness between the two parties is difficult to make up, especially in close combat, which Tianjihong is best at. Mo Lu wants to defeat him with this set of boxing skills alone. It's still impossible to go down.
At the same time, as the opponent, Mo Lu finally restrained his contemptuous expression, and the sweat on his forehead gradually seeped out. In the past ten minutes, it has been close to performing all the killing moves in the dozen or so moves it has practiced in Xingyiquan, and has transformed into more than a dozen different animal forms to attack Tianjihong. .
But what was incomprehensible to him was that the opponent was clearly at a disadvantage under his series of attacks, and could not find any chance to counterattack except to desperately parry, but the young boy in front of him refused to fall. And even though the opponent seemed to be a little flustered between moves, his expression didn't change much. The few moves he took to seize the opportunity to hit the opponent's body hard didn't seem to have any substantial effect.
Without knowing the opponent's hidden strength, Mo Lu could only attribute all this to the power of the bright silver armor, and in his heart he was gnashing his teeth at Tianjihong. In his eyes, the Tianjihong on the opposite side was as powerful as a cockroach, and he couldn't find a way to completely defeat it.
What worries Mo Lu even more is that his Xingyiquan is almost at the end of its rope. You must know that the Hundred Beasts Xingyiquan method at home emphasizes surprise and victory, and most of its substantial power is concentrated in the first few moves. The practitioner often uses spiritual power to transform into the shape of an animal. , the combination of virtual and real can catch the opponent off guard in a short period of time. However, once it is dragged into a long and protracted battle, Xingyiquan, which has declined and exhausted, without more evolved moves, will easily have loopholes and allow the opponent to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Nowadays, Mo Lu, who has only a little training, has only mastered a dozen of the shapes and meanings of the beasts after spending several years immersed in this boxing technique. At this time, his moves were fully displayed and his spiritual energy consumption was increasing. It was difficult for him to maintain the phantom created by Xingyiquan relying on his spiritual energy. After losing the essence of the virtual and the real, the unexpected effect of his boxing techniques was even more Big discount.
Mo Lu could even feel from the subsequent fights that Tianjihong, his opponent, was gradually becoming familiar with his own moves step by step. The powerful suppressive power that his boxing techniques could exert at the beginning no longer existed. According to his speculation, if the current situation continues to develop, the opponent may start to launch a counterattack against him in less than five minutes.
