At the same time, Li Hai also vaguely felt as if countless invisible threads connected his soul and body from outside to inside, and very deeply.
“Alright, that’s it~ the Formation is complete.”
Lang Yun-sheng’s smiling voice rang out again, “Li Hai, I’ll be frank with you. When you chose to step into the Wolf’s Nest and slaughter my soldiers, letting the blood and souls of thousands of people soak this land,
you fell into the trap I meticulously set, becoming a turtle in a jar. And this underground palace is the end of the trap, the place of your ultimate demise.”
After he finished speaking, his voice fell silent.
“Keep going, why did you stop?”
Li Hai stood in place and said leisurely, “You spoke so unfinished, and you put so much effort into setting it up. You must want to show off properly, wanting to exhaust its wonders, wanting to see me fearful, terrified, and begging for mercy, right? So keep talking, tell me.”
“Oh? You’re quite calm. It seems you don’t know how powerful this Formation is.”
Lang Yun-sheng was surprised at first, then he smirked and said, “I’ll explain, so you can understand the profundity of this Formation. Do you see those red lines around you? They don’t just surround this room; in fact, this entire underground palace beneath your feet is now enveloped by red lines.
These red lines have a characteristic: they only act tough internally. So, when surrounded by them, unless you can attack from the outside, even the slightest force can break through the confinement.
However… hehe, as a Thousand Army Grade Martial Artist, you should know that if you want to achieve this result now, you can only master the legendary remote force projection, but that is a power only possessed by those in a Realm above Thousand Army Grade. You don’t need to fantasize about it.
Even if you want to attack from the inside, unless your strength is powerful enough to shatter the entire underground palace into tiny dust particles the size of sesame seeds with one blow, otherwise, you can only stay inside forever.”
“Is that so?”
Li Hai thoughtfully swung his steel whip and lightly struck the wall in front of him.
Clang~~
Instantly, the countless red lines interwoven and layered on the wall’s surface suddenly flashed with bloody light.
At the same time, Li Hai inexplicably felt a faint whip strike on a certain part of his body.
Without injury or pain, he immediately looked up at the wall… it was completely undamaged.
And those countless red lines vaguely layered on the wall’s surface also didn’t break a single one.
“So that’s how it is.”
Li Hai scanned his surroundings, his thick brows furrowed, “Your Formation can actually return my attacks to me.”
“You’re really cautious enough.”
Lang Yun-sheng said somewhat playfully, “I thought you would hit it hard or even with all your might. Then there would have been a good show to watch. Alas, what a pity.”
“You old schemer.” Li Hai sneered, “You’re always trying to play tricks. How could I fully trust your one-sided words?”
“That’s true.”
Lang Yun-sheng said thoughtfully, “But if I wasn’t cunning, how could I demonstrate my astonishing wisdom?”
Li Hai ignored his self-praise and merely spoke to himself:
“I’m a bit confused. Since you boast astonishing martial power and claim to be supreme in this region, why didn’t you repel the enemy outside, cutting me down before I even entered the stronghold?
No matter what, this Wolf’s Nest is your foundation, right? Why are you so willing to use it to set up some ridiculous Formation, using it to be buried with just me?
Could it be that you are truly a coward with no courage at all, who only plays mind games and tricks, and doesn’t even dare to face a young man like me head-on?”
“Young man? No, no, no, you underestimate yourself.”
Lang Yun-sheng said slowly, “As far as I know, in the entire Great Jing Dynasty for hundreds of years, there has never been a peerless Genius like you who could reach the Thousand Army Grade Realm at only eighteen years old.
Therefore, as an exceptional Genius, you are certainly not as simple as you appear on the surface. So, to be safe, it’s better to deal with you through strategy.
And… hehe, you might not know this, but this so-called Black Wolf Bandits is actually just one of my ‘industries.’ It doesn’t matter if I lose it; I’ll just find another place to play. As for you, you can slowly starve and die of thirst here.
Oh, by the way, you seem to despise me for eating people, right? Well then, let me see, when you’re so hungry you can’t bear it, will you be able to resist tasting the remains of those maids you killed? Then… we’ll talk.”
With that, Lang Yun-sheng’s voice completely fell silent.
And Li Hai, at the same time, bared his teeth and coldly shouted:
“I need to master remote force projection to Breakthrough? Humph, I’ll save up fragments later. Lang Yun-sheng, I just want to fucking kill you, you bastard!”
With that, he immediately activated the System’s skill Fusion function.
He fused all the Cultivation Techniques he possessed, including “Demon Ape Giant Elephant Skill,” “Raging Dragon Whip,” “Formless Secret Art,” “Mystic Turtle Treasure Body,” “Spring Autumn Blade Art,” and all the Zhengchuan Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques he had acquired during the slaughter of the Wolf’s Nest.
Perhaps it was fate’s arrangement.
Coincidentally, this was precisely the optimal ‘output’ moment for the System, as foreseen by his mysterious precognition.
So, in just an instant, the total of twelve Zhengchuan Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques disappeared from Li Hai’s personal interface.
In their place was a brand new Cultivation Technique named “Heavenly Unfathomable Demonic Fist Scripture.”
And at the very moment this Cultivation Technique appeared, all the content recorded within it surged into Li Hai’s mind.
Whoosh~
Instantly, as if this “Heavenly Unfathomable Demonic Fist Scripture” had been practiced by Li Hai hundreds or thousands of times, he completely understood and comprehended everything about this Cultivation Technique in an instant.
This Cultivation Technique is divided into ten layers. As long as one Cultivates to the peak of the tenth layer, a Martial Artist can Breakthrough through layers of shackles and reach the Void-Reality Grandmaster Realm, which is above the Thousand Army Grade Realm.
Aside from its profound and abstruse content, the most fundamental gist and Profound Truth of this Cultivation Technique is to transform all one’s attacks into mysterious and unpredictable heavenly disasters in the ethereal Realm.
And this is also the greatest characteristic of a Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist, which is the ability to project force remotely without a medium, as they wish.
Those who reside in this Realm, while their Martial Dao will further solidifies and refines, allowing it to manifest externally, and their physical strength, power, agility, etc., greatly increase,
can also cause the surging True Force flowing throughout their physique to undergo an extreme transformation from the intangible void force level to a more powerful and bizarre intangible solid force level.
Thus, Grandmaster-level Martial Artists who have trained their force from void to solid can strike from a thousand zhang away and project tens of millions of jin of force without relying on limb collision, weapon slashes, or even the transmission of force through air and water.
Within a maximum range of one thousand zhang, whether the intervening space is a complete vacuum, thick and solid rock walls, or even a several-hundred-zhang-thick mountain of Adamantium alloy, as long as a Grandmaster-level Martial Artist attacks, the enemy will inevitably suffer a remote critical strike of tens of millions of jin.
