Chapter 29: The Defense System of Depravity

  （0029）

  No matter how they had guessed before, the situation was unexpectedly unexpected. They wanted to get rid of Xia Xingxiao, but unfortunately found that they didn't even have a chance to get close to him. Without even having the opportunity to approach their opponent, what's the point of talking about getting rid of them? If they had known this earlier, they should have brought a speed-type cultivator over.

  "What to do?" Feng Tiejian and others looked at their boss, with a helpless expression.

  Wu Qilong didn't know what to do either. He couldn't answer. All he could do was stand there silently, watching Xia Xingxiao who seemed like a leaf swaying in the wind, floating and drifting in mid-air. He actually wanted to fly up and punch Xia Xingxiao at close range, but unfortunately, it was impossible.

  "Ridiculous, these trash..." Xia Xingxiao sneered inwardly.

  He, suspended in mid-air, was looking for an opportunity to counterattack. As the saying goes, "coming but not going is impolite". Since the other party wants his life, how can he let them off? His character is like this, when encountering danger, it's very possible to turn around and run away. However, if there's a chance to take advantage, he will absolutely not let it go! Not taking advantage of an opportunity is foolish! These five guys are all sent by the Song family, it would be strange if he lets them off. Must wipe them out completely! Not leaving a single one!

  Wu Qilong glared at him, his face twisted in anger, and shouted: "Xia Xingxiao, the exit of this cave is always under our control! I'd like to see how long you can fly! If you're capable, just keep flying in the sky and never come down! I want to see how long you can last in the air! If you have what it takes, go ahead and fly directly into outer space!"

  Zheng Zhibao, with a violent temper, waved his fists and shouted angrily: "That's right, Xia Xingxiao, if you have the ability, just fly in the sky and never come down! If you come down, we'll punch you to death! You fly, I see how long you can last! I see how long your true energy can hold out! Unless you can fly for seven days and seven nights, otherwise, we will wait for you!"

  Xia Xing didn't hear it at all. He was flying in the sky all along. The space of this cave was much larger than his dormitory, and there was no feeling of constraint at all. No matter what kind of flight technique he performed, there was no difficulty at all.

  To be honest, the feeling of flying in the sky is really great. Especially when looking down at them from a high position, they are constantly shouting on the ground but have no way to do anything. The sense of superiority from the heart is something that others can't experience.

  As for how long he could fly, Xia Xing had no worries at all. The true energy in his body was constantly circulating. Three of the Qihai were responsible for driving the Bird Crossing Technique, while the other thirty Qihai absorbed the heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi from all directions. The amount of heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi absorbed was much greater than what the Bird Crossing Technique consumed. In other words, his true energy would never be depleted as long as he wanted to keep flying, and he could fly forever until he didn't want to anymore.

  Of course, Xia Xingxiao would never do such a boring thing. He was flying in the sky, just looking for an opportunity to counterattack. As a result, this opportunity came very soon.

  By chance, Xia Xingxiao's gaze happened to catch Zhou Haotian's position. Zhou Haotian was quite far away from his companions, almost half a cave apart. In Xia Xingxiao's estimation, if he were to face off against Zhou Haotian, the latter's four companions wouldn't be able to rush over in time. In other words, he had a chance to go one-on-one with Zhou Haotian.

  "Paralyzed, die first!" Xia Xingxiao immediately made up his mind.

  With a thought, Xia Xing's true energy circulated within him, and the Flight Technique, Bì Luò Hóng Chén, was activated. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Zhou Haotian. Compared to Niǎo Dù Shù, the only characteristic of Bì Luò Hóng Chén was its speed - a speed that was hard to imagine. Otherwise, how could it be called Bì Luò Hóng Chén? Of course, the true energy consumed by Bì Luò Hóng Chén was also several times more than Niǎo Dù Shù.

  The flying technique of Bi Luo Hong Chen originated from the ancient Earth era and is the signature skill of Dugu Qiao. It uses intense true energy combustion to provide the fastest speed. Among all flying techniques, its speed is absolutely the fastest. Of course, the consumption of true energy is also the most. Except for Xia Xing Xiao, a second-generation ancestor who doesn't need to worry about true energy loss, other cultivators generally can't even ignite it.

  Zhou Haotiger didn't expect Xia Xingxiao to take the initiative to come over, and with great joy, he clenched his fists and shouted: "You just got promoted, and you want to fight with me? Do you know how long it took for me to get promoted? Fifteen months! You think you have what it takes to face off against me head-on? Watch as I punch your egg into pieces!"

  As they spoke, he suddenly threw a punch at Xia Xingxiao.

  He practiced internal strength, also known as Yi Jin Jing, and the matching fist and footwork was Da Tong Chui. This is a very powerful and fierce entry-level fist and footwork, with great initial effects. Many practitioners choose this martial art in pursuit of initial attacking power.

  To save Xia Xingxiao's life, Zhou Haotian took action, showing no mercy. All that could be seen was a faintly visible fist filled with true energy, fiercely smashing towards Xia Xingxiao. He struck first, clearly gaining the upper hand in terms of time, and as a result, the fist seemed to strike like lightning, heavily hitting Xia Xingxiao's body.

  "Good!"

  Wu Qilong and others all shouted together.

  They seemed to have already seen Xia Xingxiao being smashed to pieces on the spot!

  At least this punch from Zhou Haotiger should make Xia Xingxiao vomit blood endlessly!

  They were quite confident in Zhou Haotiger's strength. He was a veteran third-class soldier, having held the rank of third-class soldier for a full fifteen months. In the latest power test, his explosive power had exceeded 800 kilograms. With an explosive power of 800 kilograms, he could completely defeat Xia Xingchen to the point of vomiting blood on the spot.

  However, Xia Xingxiao's reaction was completely beyond their expectations.

  Xia Xingxiao's reaction was that there was no reaction at all. It seemed as if Zhou Haotian's fist, which had hit his body, didn't have any effect on him. His body neither flew backward nor spat out blood. As for being blown up, it was simply an illusion. Zhou Haotian's ferocious punch had solidly landed on Xia Xingxiao's body, but the result was as if a mud cow had entered the sea or snow had met the sun - it completely disappeared without a trace.

  "It's impossible!"

  Wu Qilong was the first to shout loudly.

  His inner horror was simply indescribable.

  For an instant, he thought he had hallucinated and misseen it.

  As for Zhou Haotian's strength, Wu Qilong was very clear. If Zhou Haotian punched him with one fist, he would not be much better off either, spitting blood was inevitable. Think about it, a full 800 kilograms of force! This is no small amount! Even a yak could be killed with one punch. In fact, the yak might even be directly punched into flight!

  But this Xia Xingxiao, didn't react at all? How is that possible? At the very least, under the impact of an 800-kilogram fist, Xia Xingxiao, who was in mid-air, should have retreated some distance, right? Otherwise, how would the force of 800 kilograms be dissipated?

  Little did they know, Xia Xingxiao was a freak who couldn't be measured with normal human thinking. If it were anyone else, under such a powerful blow, they would definitely be dead or injured. However, Xia Xingxiao was completely unscathed. This was because his body had too many defensive systems. A mere 800 kilograms of force wanted to break through these defenses, which was simply impossible.

  Because of the reckless infusion of too much internal energy, Xia Xingxiao's physical defense has completely surpassed the abnormal level. The first line of defense for his body is the use of martial arts such as Jiayi Shengong, Dou Zhuan Xingyi, and Yihua Jiemu, which can transfer all incoming true energy away. This type of martial art does not require a clear transfer target, and transferring it to the air is also possible.

  The second line of defense is the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt, which form a solid energy shield on the surface of the body to defend against incoming energy. A single layer of energy shield is already difficult to break, and multiple layers of energy shields stacked together are even more difficult to break. Unless the incoming force is abnormally strong or Xia Xingxiao's own true energy is depleted and can no longer condense an energy shield.

  The third line of defense is the likes of Petrification Divine Art. The name says it all - it makes every organ in the body as hard as stone. Of course, "stone" is just a figure of speech. In reality, once the Petrification Divine Art is activated, every organ in the body becomes many times harder than stone. Without an extremely powerful force, it would be impossible to injure Xia Xingchen.

  Zhou Haotiger's previous punch had a force of only 800 kilograms, and after being neutralized by the Jia Yi Shen Gong, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, and Yi Hua Jie Mu, more than half of it was gone. The remaining force, estimated to be less than 300 kilograms, was basically completely consumed when it came into contact with the Jin Gang Bu Huai Shen Gong, Jin Zhong Zhao, and Tie Bu Shan energy shield. In the end, what touched Xia Xingxiao's body was negligible and could be completely ignored.

  "Damn it!"

  Zhou Haohu's heart was equally shocked.

  He never expected that his full-strength punch would be so calm and peaceful!

  If it wasn't for the feeling of his own strength bursting out, he would have thought that his strength was off target and had directly hit the air. He had never encountered such a strange thing before. In the past, if his target was hit by him, at least they would retreat a great distance and spit out a lot of blood.

  Fortunately, Zhou Haotian's mental endurance was still relatively strong. After discovering that one punch had no effect, he immediately gathered his internal energy to prepare for the second punch. He didn't believe it, Xia Xingxiao, this bastard, could still take his second punch calmly. However, before his true energy had condensed, he found out that Xia Xingxiao had already thrown a punch.

  Actually, Xia Xingxiao's move was only slightly slower than Zhou Haotian's. To be precise, it was about a tenth of a second slower. Xia Xingxiao's combat experience was severely lacking, and in terms of speed, he couldn't compare to Zhou Haotian, an old hand at fighting, so he was preempted by Zhou Haotian and hit with the first punch. However, as for Zhou Haotian wanting to throw a second punch, that was absolutely impossible.

  "Great Power Fist!"

  Xia Xingxiao's true energy was rapidly circulating throughout his body, and his moves were equally as fierce as the most ferocious martial arts!
