Chapter 33: If you're going to fight, then just fight, don't waste words!
(0033)
If Xia Xingxiao only had a slight advantage in terms of strength, that would be fine. The most deadly thing is that Xia Xingxiao's speed far surpasses theirs. Wu Qilong swore that he had never seen such swift speed on any third-rate soldier. Even among second-rate soldiers, there was no such sharp speed. This completely exceeded the norms!
Facing Xia Xingxiao's speed, they didn't have any chance at all. Xia Xingxiao continuously punched and kicked, Zhou Haotiger was severely injured and vomiting blood, on the verge of death. Feng Tiejian was beaten to death, Zheng Zhibao was beaten to death, Wang Haili was beaten to death. As for Wu Qilong, who was supposed to be the leader, he couldn't even touch Xia Xingxiao's hair. If he hadn't experienced this scene personally, Wu Qilong would never have believed it.
However, Xia Xingxiao must die!
If Xia Xingxiao doesn't die, then Wu Qilong must die!
The benefits of being the fifth young master of the Song family are not that easy to obtain. Song Haicheng and Song Hailong are two completely different concepts. Since you've taken it, you have to get things done. If you can't get things done, then you might as well hand over your own life.
Looking at his own brothers, some were dead and others wounded. Wu Qilong seemed to have calmed down. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions as much as possible. The dead cannot be brought back to life. No matter how deeply grieved he was, it would not change the situation. Now the only thing he could do was think of ways to get rid of Xia Xingxiao. It was both completing the task and avenging his brothers.
At this time, Xia Xingxiao also stopped flying around randomly. He stood in front of Wu Qilong. One on one, his confidence rose. After the battle just now, he had accumulated some combat experience and was confident that he could defeat Wu Qilong in a head-on fight.
Wu Qilong slowed down his pace, step by step approaching Xia Xingxiao. His eyes were cold and cruel, like the god of death in hell. Just by looking at his appearance, it was clear that he would be much more difficult to deal with than Zhou Haotiger. The true energy contained within his body also unintentionally emitted a kind of intentional or unintentional pressure, attempting to suppress Xia Xingxiao's momentum.
As Wu Qilong steadily walked towards Xia Xingxiao, Zhou Haotiger, who was heavily injured, seemed to have regained some vitality. He struggled to sit up, let out a cold laugh and said in a gloomy tone: "Xia Xingxiao, my brother was promoted to second-class soldier three months ago! His strength has already exceeded 1,200 kilograms! You're waiting for death!"
Xia Xingxiao didn't say a word, she just quietly stared at Wu Qilong's movements.
No matter if the opponent is a third-rate soldier or a second-rate soldier, he doesn't worry. Because the opponent's speed is simply not his match. In this cave, he has already established an unbeatable position. Even if he can't beat Wu Qilong, escaping is absolutely no problem. If there is a chance, he can even use the power of the Great Force Fist to directly take out the opponent.
From this perspective, Wu Qilong's failure was inevitable. Because he never had the opportunity to hit Xia Xingxiao. Unless it was an opponent who suddenly appeared with a speed-type cultivator, there might be a chance to save Wu Qilong's life. However, if facing a speed-type cultivator, Xia Xingxiao's own strength would again be a huge advantage.
Wu Qilong's face was gloomy, the flames burning in his eyes seemed to be focused on Xia Xingxiao. He said word by word: "If you are willing to take off your own head, I can give you a complete corpse."
Xia Xingxiao was still standing quietly, without saying a word.
What he hated most was talking too much nonsense before a fight.
If you want to fight, then fight, don't talk nonsense!
Wu Qilong took a deep breath, and his entire skeletal system seemed to burst open in an instant. This was a sign that his true energy had condensed to its extreme limit. The meridians could not contain so much true energy, and some of it directly flowed through the skeletal channels. Immediately afterwards, Wu Qilong stretched out his hand fiercely towards Xia Xingxiao.
Eagle Claw Technique!
The energy brought by Lì Zǎo reached Xià Xīng Xiǎo's body in an instant.
In primary-level fist and footwork, what is the most simple, violent, direct, and won't be short of afterpower? The Great Power Eagle Claw Skill is definitely one of them.
Unlike the mighty Copper Hammer Hand and Thunderclap Hand, the initial power of the Great Strength Eagle Claw Skill is not bad, and it also has a certain development prospect in the later stage. At least, before becoming a cultivator above level 10, the power of the Great Strength Eagle Claw Skill is quite impressive.
Xia Xing Xiao did not counterattack, but instead lightly dodged to the side, avoiding Wu Qilong's attack. His movements were somewhat ethereal and illusory, yet they truly existed. Wu Qilong's sharp claws were indeed formidable, but they completely failed to catch their target.
Actually, Xia Xingxiao didn't need to dodge at all. With his abnormal defense system, he could easily dissolve the power of Dalik Eagle Claw Technique. However, he wanted to see how Dalik Eagle Claw Technique was performed in someone else's hands. He had also practiced this martial art. Unfortunately, this martial art couldn't be enhanced by burning true energy, so he didn't plan to use it in front of Wu Qilong.
"Lingbo Wei Bu?" Wu Qilong was slightly stunned for a moment.
He was also a connoisseur, and at a glance, he judged that Xia Xingxiao's display was the most well-known Lingbo Micro-Step in the flying technique. He thought Xia Xingxiao hadn't practiced this flying technique, but unexpectedly, he did. Moreover, it seemed that the effect of the practice wasn't bad either. This couldn't help but make Wu Qilong feel disheartened. How many flying techniques had this abnormal guy actually practiced? How did he manage to master these flying techniques?
It must be known that flying techniques are very consuming of true energy. Generally, cultivators will only choose one flying technique to cultivate based on their own internal strength characteristics. Flying techniques aren't like other martial arts, it's not the more the better, just mastering one is enough. This Xia Xingxiao actually cultivated so many flying techniques at the same time, what a freak!
Rumors are always subject to variation. Wu Qilong only knew that Xia Xingxiao had practiced over a hundred kinds of martial arts, among which thirty-three were internal skills. As for the other details, he was unclear.
"Ah!"
No choice, Ng Kau Lung had no alternative but to make another move.
As a result, Xia Xingyao still floated lightly and dodged again.
"Willow steps into the wind?" Wu Qilong's eyebrows wrinkled again involuntarily.
No choice, Xia Xingxiao's display was actually a new flying technique, its name is called "Wind-Resistant Willow Step". Perhaps, in terms of flight speed, Wind-Resistant Willow Step isn't that outstanding. However, in terms of dodging and evading, it's quite useful. Even Lingbo Micro Step may not necessarily be able to steadily surpass it in avoiding enemy attacks.
"That damned kid, he's actually mastered so many flight techniques." Wu Qilong's inner shock had almost numbed him. He even felt a little envious, a little resentful. Why didn't he have the time or energy to practice flight techniques himself?
He was very curious, what kind of person Xia Xingxiao was, to be able to perform so many flight techniques with such mastery. Where did he find the time to cultivate so many flight techniques at the same time? Could it be that his cultivation foundation was brought from his mother's womb?
No matter what Wu Qilong was thinking in his heart, Xia Xingxiao was calm and not nervous at all. Facing Wu Qilong's crazy attack, he was like a willow leaf in the gentle breeze, constantly swaying and lightly dodging the powerful eagle claw. The advantage of Welcoming Wind Willow Step is that as long as it receives the shock of the opponent's fist wind, it will automatically dodge, extremely agile.
Wu Qilong continuously unleashed his powerful Eagle Claw technique, attempting to crush Xia Xingxiao. Each time, he wished he could pour all his true energy into it and take down Xia Xingxiao with one move. However, each time he ended up empty-handed. The force contained within the Eagle Claw technique was strong, but if it didn't hit its mark, it was useless. On the other hand, Wu Qilong himself had a significant amount of his true energy depleted.
"Xia Xing Xiao! You have the guts, don't hide!" Wu Qilong was thoroughly enraged. As a second-class soldier, he was taking on a third-class soldier, with an obvious difference in rank. If others found out, they would definitely mock him for bullying his junior. What's more, if he couldn't even handle a junior, how could he show his face to people in the future?
He didn't think that today, he might not be able to leave this cave after all. With Xia Xingxiao's strength, it was entirely possible for him to counterattack. If Xia Xingxiao were given the opportunity, there was even a chance that he could heavily injure him. The reason Xia Xingxiao was doing this, only dodging and not counterattacking, was simply to accumulate combat experience.
That's right, it's combat experience. Xia Xingxiao was very clear that his cultivation was dominated by the mysterious bead, and he didn't need to worry about it himself. However, experience against enemies was not something that the mysterious bead could provide. This required a bit of accumulation and tempering. Any master had to go through countless real battles to grow step by step in combat.
This principle is just like an online game in ancient Earth times, where every player starts from a blank slate and gradually accumulates experience points. Xia Xingxiao from the previous life may not have had much actual social experience, but he understood quite a bit about online games. However, the basic principles of most online games are roughly the same as those in real society.
Xia Xingxiao had thought before that if he really couldn't escape from Yu Zile's hands, then he must think of a way to protect his own life. From the current starry sky situation, a new Star War is likely to break out. Once the Star War breaks out, he will inevitably be involved. Preserving his life has become the top priority.
How to keep one's own life? On the one hand, of course, it is to work hard and continuously improve one's strength. In this regard, with the mysterious pearl, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore. On the other hand, it is to master combat skills as soon as possible and accumulate combat experience. Strive to achieve one point, on the battlefield, even if you can't beat your opponent, at least you can escape.
