Invincible Kungfu Healer-Chapter 893 - Sensing the Martial Arts Way

Chapter 893: Sensing the Martial Arts Way

Why would Mo Wen believe anything those criminals from the Heart of the Red Stone Forest told him? He had realized a long time ago that these crafty criminals would use all possible means to trick their opponents and numb their enemies. That was why he acted intentionally to lure the dwarf assistant valley leader into attacking first.

However, it was obvious that the dwarf assistant valley leader, who was one of the leaders of the Rot Valley, was not so easily tricked. He had also prepared his defenses against any potential accidents while he attacked stealthily.

When Mo Wen appeared behind the dwarf assistant valley leader and used the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm, the dwarf assistant valley leader yelled out loud. He glowed with a ray of green light. In the next moment, a startling and enormous change happened to his body.

His short and small body swelled up in an instant. His body grew bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant that was two meters tall. The muscles on his body protruded like rocks, and he radiated an incomparable aura.

What was even more frightening was that his skin turned completely green. His eyes were blood-red, and several monstrous-like fangs glinted in his mouth. He exuded wisps of green-colored mist which were strongly corrosive and infectious. Anyone who had the slightest bit of knowledge knew that it was corpse Qi.

“The Decaying Technique from the Rot Valley!”

Wine and Meat Monk narrowed his eyes. The Decaying Technique was a rather scary cultivation technique, and only those from the Rot Valley could cultivate it. To a certain extent, the Decaying Technique was similar to a Rite of Passage Technique. It had profound abilities that some regular techniques did not have.

Of course, true Rite of Passage Techniques were unlikely to appear in a regular warrior. As a genius of the hidden martial arts strain, knowing a little about martial arts and martial arts teaching was not surprising. The majority did not have this ability. However, if they were speaking about a regular person being able to cultivate Rite of Passage Techniques, there were not many in the history of the entire hidden martial arts strain who were able to do that.

Rite of Passage Techniques were different from Rite of Passage Martial Arts. Techniques were the foundation of a warrior. Rite of Passage Martial Arts, on the other hand, represented the foundation of a warrior who was at the realm of becoming an immortal. It was extremely difficult for ordinary warriors to understand this sort of energy that only appeared after becoming an immortal…

One could say that those who could cultivate in Rite of Passage Techniques while they were still ordinary warriors would be able to fight 100 people of the same cultivation realm single-handedly.

The Decaying Technique was a divine technique that was beyond that of ordinary techniques. It had a hint of the power of the esoteric rule. However, it was still miles away from the true Rite of Passage Techniques. Yet, even so, the assistant valley leader of the Rot Valley was much more powerful than an ordinary warrior.

Wine and Meat Monk and the Rot Valley leader had once fought against each other. The fight had not taken place in a challenge ring. Instead, the two had a chance encounter at the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. The two had not given the fight their all. They had just exchanged a few blows and, realizing they would not be able to defeat their opponent, had both retreated.

However, Wine and Meat Monk knew that even if he gave it his all, it would not be easy to defeat the assistant valley leader of the Rot Valley. Trying to do so could well come at a heavy price.

“They have not yet exchanged blows, and he’s already used the corpse manipulation secret technique of the Decaying Technique. Heng Xiangguang is taking the young man really seriously. I wonder what state the young man can push Heng Xiangguang to? If he can last a hundred blows then he is really a rare talent…”

As for the chances of winning? He had never thought that a young man would be able to defeat Heng Xiangguang. Unless the young man had the abilities of one of the warriors ranked in the top three positions on the leader board, it was almost impossible.

An elder sat amongst the criminals with his legs crossed and looked at the challenge ring Mo Wen was in. Ten or more criminals stood around him respectfully. The cultivation levels of those criminals were startling. Almost every one of them was in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. However, they were highly respectful before the elder.

Roar!

After turning into a giant, Heng Xiangguang gave an animalistic roar. Then, he suddenly turned around, and his fists punched at Mo Wen’s Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm.

Crash!

Their fists and palms collided, and they both backed ten or more meters away. A terrifying wave of power swept through the area. If they were not in the challenge ring with the power of a stratagem strengthening and protecting the area, the energy would have exploded and made everything within a hundred-meter radius into a crater.

“What a powerful force!”

Mo Wen was secretly shocked. The two had collided but were still evenly matched. No one had the upper hand. The skill that Mo Wen had used was the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm, a pure fire attribute Rite of Passage Martial Art. In terms of power, it was far more powerful that the Rite of Passage Martial Arts that Mo Wen had learned earlier. No matter whether it was the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind, or the Glory of Cloud, they were all support type martial arts and were not known for their force of attack. However, the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm was made to attack and kill. The energy that it emitted was sufficient to kill a third realm martial arts grandmaster like the old woman, Zhang Feng.

Yet, at this moment, it had been blocked by the assistant valley leader’s fists.

“Young man, I have not used the corpse manipulation secret technique of the Decaying Technique. You will have no regrets even if you die.”

After turning into a corpse, Heng Xiangguang was extremely fierce and tough. He had recovered from the earlier blow and now leaped forward fiercely. His exaggerated muscles burst through his clothes, and green veins protruded from his skin, flowing with green-colored blood. He looked ferocious and terrifying. Heng Xiangguang no longer seemed human.

Mo Wen breathed in deeply. He continued to fight Heng Xiangguang, not showing any weakness. However, without using the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm, he lost the upper hand as soon as their battle recommenced. Heng Xiangguang’s power was too strong. A wave of his fist was like a mountain crashing down, and his power was capable of twisting the space.

Heng Xiangguang’s physical strength had far surpassed Mo Wen’s. They were almost at different levels. However, Mo Wen’s physical body was still strong. Even if he did not do anything, no one would be easily able to break through the defenses of his physical body. However, Heng Xiangguang had become strong because of his use of a technique. Without the technique, Mo Wen’s physical body would be far superior to his. As such, the two could not be properly compared.

The two figures fought on, Mo Wen still at a disadvantage. He seemed extremely pathetic, and there were several moments in which he was put in a very perilous situation. It could be said that danger lurked around him on all sides.

The Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm had used up quite a lot of his inner Qi. Mo Wen could not possibly use the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm to fight Heng Xiangguang for the entire duration of the battle. However. If he did not use it, his attack abilities were far weaker than Heng Xiangguang’s. If not for his Rite of Passage Technique and Skill, he would have already been defeated.

“Hrmph, this is what happens when you overestimate your capabilities.”

Lord Merciless looked at Mo Wen who seemed on the verge of defeat. Lord Merciless laughed coldly. He was in an extremely good mood. It would be best if the boy died on the challenge ring. Then, he would be rid of a major problem.

“That lad is too eager for instant success. If he did not go straight for the 20,000 points challenge ring and had just fought his way up steadily, he would have been able to make it into the top ten based on his capabilities and his points. However, if he fails to win this match, he will lose 30,000 points. It will be very difficult for him to get those points back.”

Chou Tong frowned. They were both from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, so he naturally hoped that Mo Wen would be able to go far in the competition. If Mo Wen managed to make it into the top ten, that would also bring glory to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall.

“I hope he doesn’t lose. However, it seems unlikely…” Guo Mengqiao, who was standing beside Chou Tong, sighed. Even though there were challenges at every moment on the death corner fighting ring, the competitors were all well prepared before they attacked. It was because they could not afford to lose. Only a few reckless ones would behave like Mo Wen, starting new challenges one after another with exaggerated increases in points. People like that often lost and became indistinguishable from ordinary people.

If Mo Wen were to lose this match, he would not only lose his points. They feared that it might also affect his emotions slightly. It would be extremely difficult for him to get over it.

“You chose your path. I hope that you will not disappoint yourself.” Water Deity, who was enveloped in mist, shook her head and sighed. If Mo Wen were to win this match, he would immediately enter the top ten. However, getting into the top ten was not easy. Many people were eyeing those spots. Rushing straight into the top ten so recklessly was rare.

Gu Jingman, who had been watching the fight silently with her arms crossed, suddenly raised her brows. She said coldly, “That b*stard dared to bully my younger brother. You better pray that you don’t fall into my hands…”

…

The battle in the challenge ring was rather passive. Mo Wen was being chased around and continuously attacked by Heng Xiangguang. He kept retreating. Soon, he had nowhere to back away to anymore. He retreated once more…

However, unlike everyone was thinking, it was not a one-sided match. Heng Xiangguang continued to press forward, but he did not manage to defeat Mo Wen. There was no clear victor in the challenge ring.

Furthermore, the spectators began to wonder if they were seeing things. Mo Wen had seemed pathetic, but he seemed to have completely gotten used to being pressured as time passed. He grew more and more adept and did not fall no matter how terrifying Heng Xiangguang’s attacks were.

“Can’t you fight me openly? Stop dodging.” There was a bellow, and as time crept forward, Heng Xiangguang grew restless. As a participant in the match, his emotions were the strongest. On the surface, he seemed to be dominating Mo Wen. However, this grew more and more difficult as time passed. Mo Wen seemed to be getting used to this pressure. Or perhaps, one could say that Mo Wen was growing stronger and stronger under this pressure. It was more and more difficult to dominate him.

This was a terrible feeling. Heng Xiangguang felt as if he had reached out to press someone down, but the person was struggling ceaselessly. Furthermore, the person was growing stronger and stronger and might escape anytime.

“He has sensed the Martial Arts Way in a fight. What a terrifying youth!”

The elder surrounded by many criminals was the first to realize that something was up. There was a flash of epiphany in his eyes as he stared at Mo Wen closely. His eyes, which had been emotionless up until now, had a hint of shock in them.

What a shocking thing for Mo Wen to sense the martial arts way while in a dangerous battle! Furthermore, he was at a disadvantage and was being dominated! One had to understand that it was impossible to be even slightly distracted in such a dangerous battle. Should one be distracted, they would be likely to be killed. Disregarding how the young man could sense the martial arts way in a battle, this kind of psychological strength was also rather terrifying.

It could be compared to a person walking on a tightrope suspended tens of thousands of feet in the air while performing all sorts of skills. Furthermore, the person was constantly trying out new positions they have never tried before. If they were not careful, they might fall and die.

Indeed, Mo Wen made use of the pressure Heng Xiangguang exerted on him to sense the martial arts way and speed up his progress by leaps and bounds under this pressure. Under ordinary circumstances, Mo Wen would not have dared to do this, and he did not have the ability to do so either. However, after receiving some of Xiang Buwei’s legacy, he had grown to have a deep understanding of the martial arts teachings attainments of a warrior who had become an immortal. Mo Wen’s knowledge and attainments of martial arts were in a period of rapid growth. Fighting with Heng Xiangguang was a good chance to make use of an expert like him to verify some of the profound meaning of martial arts Mo Wen had in his heart.

Mo Wen did not have much to do with the Rite of Passage Martial Arts, but he could feel that he had improved tremendously in a short amount of time. No matter whether it was the Glory of Wind or the Glory of Cloud, he had improved significantly in both of them. He also began to gradually have a slight understanding of the inherent quality of Rite of Passage Martial Arts. He believed that if he were to continue, he would surely be able to escape from this pressurized situation.
