Battle
Having healed with the Innate Qi, Mi Yang reached the peak physical condition since the start of the battle. His Iron Mountain Stance even accomplished the unity of six forces. Combined with the overwhelming strength from his Divine Wood bloodline, even a lump of iron could be shattered into pieces, especially with the Vibrating Zen power that only exploded deep within his organs, a power that even wild beasts could not resist.
So in Mi Yang’s eyes, Tang Luo was as good as dead, as no martial artist in the Mortal Realm could make their internal organs stronger than their physical body.
The thrown Tang Luo was held by Du Sha’s sturdy arm, but the explosive Zen energy within his body caused Du Sha to be further thrown tens of metres. The warriors of the Fierce Realm instantly focused their attention on Tang Luo, wondering what the point of a battle would be if their commander was dead. Upon being thrown, Tang Luo’s mind went blank, allowing the energy within his body to go rampant. Being new to understanding energy, he had no way to combat this power and could do nothing but let it be.
One could only say that providing support from the side instead of charging forward was the right choice. Even though the giant had more power than the average warrior of the Fierce Realm, a large body meant greater impact. The martial art technique which focuses on the energy was specially designed to combat beasts. In other words, larger creatures are vulnerable to such techniques.
To feel the pain of the beast through a human body was unheard of.
The two of them fell hard onto the ground a few tens of meters away, creating a large crater where the silver giant landed. Du Ling and Du Wei immediately rushed to guard the crater, their spirits locked onto Mi Yang, who only had his legs left, defending against his advances.
‘■What’s the point of guarding a dead man?” Mi Yang laughed heartily, with tears of joy running down his face. “My dear grandson, your grandfather has avenged you, can you see it up there in the heavens?”
He had dedicated his life to the martial arts and when he saw the young Mi Chu, he saw his own young son who had died prematurely. He poured all his love on his several-generations-later descendant, and Mi Chu did not disappoint him. He was talented, persevering, and ambitious.
Every time he saw Mi Chu, he could envision the bright future of the Mi Clan. Little did he expect such a hopeful junior to be cunningly killed by a Martial Ancestor with a trash giant’s bloodline.
He, being the strongest of the Mi Clan in his generation, could not avenge immediately. Every second, every minute after Mi Chu’s death, he felt that he failed to fulfill his great-grandfather’s duties. That’s why he was absent at Mi Chu’s funeral as he didn’t know how to face his great-grandson.
But now he could, there wasn’t a sacrificial offering better than Tang Luo’s head, let alone killing him before the Tang Clan’s reinforcements arrived. The head elder of Mi Clan was delighted.
“Tang Luo is already dead, if the Du Clan doesn’t want to be eradicated, leave now.” Mi Yang said to the still guarding Du Ling and Du Wei: “I am in a good mood now and will not hold the Du Clan accountable for their disrespect in this battle. Don’t be mistaken, move away!”
His revenge was successful, Mi Yang just wanted to take Tang Luo’s head quickly, to avoid further complications. He didn’t want to fuss about Du Clan’s members blocking his way anymore, but just as he was about to retrieve the Wooden Dragon, his face changed because he could no longer sense his connection with the Wooden Dragon.
In the crowd, the Wooden Dragon, which had been suppressing Sun Jinfang and Du Ting while slaughtering other warriors, suddenly lost its Spiritual Light and fell to the ground rigidly, looking like a wooden sculpture.
Mi Yang finally understood why he had an unprecedented good feeling, and why Tang Luo didn’t attack, but instead injected a large amount of Gen Earth Innate Qi into his body.
Water can generate wood, but too much water will damage it; wood can overcome earth, but too much earth will crush it!
The Gen Earth Innate Qi, a high-quality earth energy being infused into Divine Wood, not only empowered Mi Yang’s physical body, but also completely healed all his major and minor injuries, including losing his arm.
Just one circulation rendered Mi Yang’s physique to near perfection. A single wood encountering heavy earth might have perfected his body, but it led to the loss of connection to his arms. How could a withered branch be magical?
Who would have thought that he was tricked by a mere mortal? Mi Yang, feeling the perfection of his body at the moment, looked towards the distant crater, expressing his complex feelings of admiration. “Even though you are just a mortal, you managed to come up with such an ingenious solution in such a short time. Even in death, your title as the first son of Xiling and unmatched genius is well-deserved!”
People are often willing to give fair and objective evaluations after one’s death. Although they were opponents, Mi Yang was also aware that he had taken advantage of their power difference. But since Tang Luo already died, he didn’t mind giving him praise.
The Wind Media Department recorded the Battle of Jianglin clearly, but Mi Yang simply couldn’t believe it. No one knew better than he did how excellent Mi Chu, whom he had nurtured, was. How could he possibly be suppressed from the beginning to end? However, after only two moves by Tang Luo, he understood. Only such an exquisitely sensitive and strong mortal could suppress his great-grandson.
He knew how to nurture another Mi Chu, but he had no idea how to nurture a Tang Luo.
If he hadn’t suddenly attacked, perhaps the top powerhouse of Xiling would have changed hands in sixty years. He could not even imagine what kind of dominance a talented warrior like him would have once fully grown.
Luckily, he’s dead now. Mi Yang glanced at the nearby crater. He felt satisfied, regretful, and soon, thoroughly shocked.
“Even if you die, I won’t,” Tang Luo, who was supposed to be dead, sat upright, holding his chest and abdomen with his right hand, glaring at Mi Yang and said coldly: “You have hurt the Martial Ancestor of the Tang Clan and killed my personal guards. Old man, you’re in big trouble now!”
If you were to ask who is the most powerful among the Mortals, Tang Luo might still hesitate whether it’s himself. However, if you were to ask who has the strongest organs among the Mortals, he could only unreservedly state that everyone else present was garbage.
Five high-grade divine runes were all to strengthen the internal organs. In addition, after achieving the small completion of the Five Elements, the Innate Qi never ceased to regenerate. This overwhelming power was 90% absorbed by his internal organs. The Undying Battle Body was a top-tier body refining technique for refining the interior to strengthen the exterior. Even more so in his case, his special body had pushed it to the extreme.
Even a martial artist of the Mortal Realm standing on holy ground would at least be severely injured upon facing Mi Yang’s attack, because even his internal organs were ruptured. But the wounds healed as soon as they were torn, thanks to the nourishment of Innate Qi. This is why he seemed unaffected.
However, just because the wounds were healed does not mean the pain was gone. The pain of his internal organs being overturned and torn almost made him faint. This was the worst injury he had ever suffered since he had started practicing martial arts, so how could he forget it so easily.
The person who was supposed to be dead actually stood up.. Mi Yang s face turned dark as he said with a stern voice, “Relying solely on a secret inner cultivation technique and daring to utter such brazen threats to me, are you under the delusion that injecting Innate Qi could sever my arms? Today, I will teach you the profoundness of the Divine Wood Body!”
