Only My Way

Clearly, its defensive power was already strong enough to withstand various conventional blades.

Even powerful crossbows, capable of easily piercing soldiers' armor, would struggle to penetrate it head-on.

However, when that surge of terrifyingly high-temperature shockwaves ruthlessly struck with overwhelming force,

the tiger dwelling in the mountains, like all other creatures, met the exact same fate.

The fate of instant death…

That thick fur, which appeared exceptionally glossy and smooth,

was undoubtedly precious.

Enough to be exchanged for a great many things.

Yet, in an instant, it, along with the flesh, blood, and bones within, was completely incinerated.

Those powerful muscles,

clearly capable of granting its possessor immense strength,

making even shattering a large tree head-on an easy task,

but in the face of true power,

it was utterly insignificant, like the strength of a mosquito.

Not even a fleeting illusion, gone in an instant, would be the best way to describe it…

Before one could even blink,

that incredibly robust tiger had already vanished.

Becoming countless particles of dust on the spot…

At the same moment,

regardless of whether they were common or rare plants,

or even stones and soil that should have been able to withstand ordinary high temperatures…

all met the exact same fate without distinction.

Instantly turning into dust and ashes invisible to the naked eye.

Blown away by the extremely intense shockwaves to a distant, unreachable place, never to be seen again, leaving no trace behind…

At this moment,

the scene of all things returning to nothingness was directly manifested in the world.

Unveiled here…

Clearly, many things existing in the surrounding area were not the targets of either combatant.

Clearly, neither combatant had paid any attention to those insignificant things from beginning to end.

But once their battle officially began,

countless deaths, injuries, and scenes of destruction unimaginable to ordinary people,

immediately swept up numerous innocents, preventing them from escaping and plunging them into a state where they had no control over their lives and deaths.

Even though Ling Wuyuan had deliberately chosen a relatively remote location before the battle, it was still like this.

He and Yi Yunhe were simply too strong…

Even if the battleground was in a deserted place,

it would inevitably involve many innocent people.

At this moment,

sensing that incomparably powerful shockwave,

observing that 'sun' that suddenly appeared in the sky,

countless cultivators living nearby underwent a drastic change in expression.

As for those weaker ordinary people, they were even more grief-stricken, all instinctively realizing that something terrible was about to happen, that they were in danger…

Especially as they gradually felt the vibrations originating from the ground and the scorching wind coming from the sky,

that feeling that something terrible was about to happen,

immediately became even stronger!!

Everyone could very clearly and instinctively realize that something extremely bad was about to happen.

It was the feeling of a great disaster about to descend…

However,

for the two who were currently engaged in battle, the worries of the various weaker individuals were completely insignificant.

Whether it was Ling Wuyuan or Yi Yunhe, neither of them cared much about such things.

Now,

the only thing in their eyes was each other.

Within both of their gazes,

was filled with undisguised killing intent.

Even Ling Wuyuan was like this.

Because he had already acknowledged the other's strength.

Therefore,

Ling Wuyuan now did not even bother to generate killing intent like he usually did when killing people…

Instead, he genuinely harbored killing intent and hostility specifically directed at Yi Yunhe.

This directly represented that Ling Wuyuan was a little excited…

Especially when he noticed the pain.

The pain of his body operating beyond its limits during ultra-high-speed movement.

The pain of the recoil force transmitted from the weapon in his hand during ultra-high-speed attacks, cracking and shattering the bones and flesh on his arm.

The excitement in Ling Wuyuan's heart,

would immediately and involuntarily be transformed into intense exhilaration!!

That situation,

was essentially the same as when a ferocious beast was stimulated.

The ferocity in its heart was directly and completely activated.

Ling Wuyuan now,

just performing the simplest movements,

the most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ published!

even just the simplest advancing and retreating,

his body needed to withstand extremely huge burdens.

Skin and flesh would automatically crack open.

Bones would be shattered on the spot.

This was the retribution for using power beyond its limits.

The pain contained within,

was like an ordinary person bravely venturing through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire with their flesh and blood…

Without exaggeration,

if his body had not already been repeatedly specialized by the effect of [Godspeed Optimization], and if his recovery and adaptability were not exceptionally astonishing, like some kind of ferocious beast with extremely strong vitality,

at this moment,

just performing the simplest movements,

Ling Wuyuan would have killed himself on the spot.

Letting his body directly shatter into a sky full of bloody mist!!

However,

even with the corresponding specialization,

even with extremely strong recovery and adaptability,

Ling Wuyuan's body was still unable to withstand this degree of speed…

Especially when he and Yi Yunhe rapidly exchanged blows.

That incomparably powerful body of his was like a spring that had been wound to its limit, infinitely approaching its maximum load threshold.

Self-destruction was occurring every moment.

The first move of their exchange,

at the instant when their longswords collided head-on,

clearly Ling Wuyuan's flesh had transmitted the various recoil forces to the surrounding area to the greatest extent through various techniques.

Those residual recoil forces still caused the sleeve of the hand holding Ling Wuyuan's sword to immediately collapse into countless fragments at the first moment.

And then,

like pottery that suddenly shattered,

those fair and flawless skins on Ling Wuyuan's arm instantly cracked with countless dense and tiny cracks.

That feeling was just like a glass product about to shatter…

And the subsequent result was indeed like this.

When countless blood colors slowly oozed out from the depths of those tiny cracks,

that piece of skin ultimately completely cracked open.

Exposing the flesh, blood vessels… hidden directly beneath the surface of Ling Wuyuan's arm, it was an extremely disgusting and bloody scene!!

Indistinctly,

there were also a large number of cracking sounds, continuously coming from the depths of those flesh and blood.

That was the sound of the bones of the arm, gradually shattering under the action of that huge reaction force!!

At this moment,

Ling Wuyuan's arm.

was simply like those skinned bullfrogs in hot pot restaurants…

The internal muscle texture.

was directly and completely revealed.

Then,

before a lot of blood could splatter everywhere,

the high-temperature shockwave created by Ling Wuyuan and Yi Yunhe's exchange of blows automatically transformed into flames, roasting Ling Wuyuan's arm, which had been completely destroyed on the surface.

In an instant.

with the help of the powerful shockwave containing ultra-high temperature, Ling Wuyuan's arm, which had already suffered severe damage, automatically completed all hemostasis at the cost of severely burning the muscle tissue.
