Chapter 92: Essence of Nine Transformations

  （0092）

  "Over here!"

  Xia Xingxiao stood tall and looked down, then suddenly threw a punch.

  "Boom!"

  Under the rock, a giant sand crab was forced to emerge from the ground.

  This is a big guy as big as an ordinary sedan. The two iron pincers in front of it, both exceeding three meters in length, are shimmering with cyan light. The tip of the pincer is a sharp claw, flashing a deterrent cold light. The oval crab shell on its back has turned into dark green, looking like a large piece of moss, with excellent camouflage effect.

  Such a huge monster, lurking underground, waiting for Xiaoxiao and others to pass by. It can be imagined that if it suffers from its attack, what kind of consequences will occur. Its sharp claws are enough to tear two targets apart in an instant. The team of Yunhantang before, I guess was attacked by it, and directly torn two people apart.

  It was only less than fifty meters away from Xia Xingxiao and the others. If Xia Xingxiao and the others continued to move forward, they would definitely be ambushed by it. Once attacked, the consequences would be severe. However, Xia Xingxiao used a move called "Ha Ma Gong" and immediately detected its exact position. Since it was forced to jump out, the situation changed.

  "Boom!"

  Xia Xingxiao's heavy fist hit the sand crab's back heavily.

  Four times the force, a full 5,000 kilograms. Even a granite rock would be crushed on the spot under such a heavy blow. Unfortunately, the sand crab's back shell had extremely strong defensive power. Xia Xingxiao's heavy punch didn't harm it at all. It continued to charge towards Xia Xingxiao with its claws snapping wildly.

  "Damn it! Still quite a fight!"

  Xia Xing Xiao cursed and flipped her wrist, preparing to cast Bingxuan Jin.

  The Sha clan isn't afraid of the cold? Freeze this damn thing first then talk!

  I don't believe it, after being frozen, my 5,000-kilogram heavy fist can still smash your crab shell! I'll smash you to pieces!

  "Summer star dawn!"

  "Unleash the Small No-Phase Skill!"

  "Unleash the Seven Severing Fists of Sorrow!"

  Li Yuzi shouted in a sharp voice. Now, he simply regarded Xia Xingxiao as an all-purpose treasure pot. His knowledge was very rich, and he knew clearly what kind of monster should use what martial arts. The only problem was that he couldn't practice so many martial arts. Now, with the presence of this abnormal Xia Xingxiao, it was simply too convenient.

  "Little Infinitesimal Movement?"

  "Seven cuts and seven breaks, a heartbreaking slap?"

  "Good!"

  Xia Xingxiao, who was in mid-air, immediately changed his palm technique. He had originally wanted to use the Great Power Vajra Fist to directly smash the sand crab into pieces, but he accepted Li Yuzi's suggestion and used the Small No-Phase Skill to activate the Seven Severances and Seven Extremes Heart-Wounding Palm, pressing down on the sand crab with one palm.

  The greatest feature of the Xia Wu Xiang Gong is that it is invisible and inaudible. The Qi Duan Qi Jue Shang Xin Zhang, on the other hand, is a particularly vicious palm technique that will certainly kill anyone who is hit by it. When they die, their facial expression becomes twisted as if they are smiling, but this smile is even more heartbreaking, tragic, and unsightly than crying.

  Seven Cuts: heart pulse cut, blood pulse cut, tendon pulse cut, liver intestine cut, kidney water cut, bone frame cut, wrist pulse cut. Seven Extremes: heart extreme, emotional extreme, kindness extreme, desire extreme, suffering extreme, life and death extreme, longing extreme. It does not have a very clear set of moves, it is entirely dependent on the practitioner's own combination. Therefore, there are no restrictions on practicing it, even beginners can learn all of it.

  Xia Xingxiao had never used the Seven Severing Heart Palm before, because its power was just ordinary. Among all the fist and foot techniques, it was almost ranked last. In the federal army, there were also very few people who practiced the Seven Severing Heart Palm. However, hearing Li Yuzhi's call, it seemed to have a strange effect on fighting against the Sand Crab.

  As expected, the Seven Severing Heart Palm struck down, and that sand crab, still brandishing its claws, instantly collapsed to the ground. It struggled a few times before becoming motionless. Its two pincers hung limply on the rock, like noodles. The sudden change was so swift that even Xia Xinghe found it hard to believe. Grass, had he really become overbearing?

  Li Yuzi rushed up to check on the sand crab's movement. He soon confirmed that this sand crab was dead and couldn't be deader. Seeing Xia Xing's puzzled expression, he explained: "Don't doubt it, it really is dead. Sand crabs are most afraid of the Seven Severing Heartbreak Palm. Because their internal organs are extremely fragile, even a little bit of force can shatter their internal organs."

  "Is it necessary to use '隔山打牛'? Can't we use other palm techniques?" Xia Xingxiao asked doubtfully.

  Li Yuzi shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The sand crab's defensive capabilities are very strong, and ordinary martial arts can't hurt it at all. Look at this shell, it can withstand ten times the force. Ordinary隔山打牛 (mountain-separating cow-beheading) martial arts can dissipate most of its force. The only thing that can't be dealt with is the Seven Cuts Seven Severing Heart Palm. The true energy of this palm technique is too complicated. Not to mention the sand crab, even most demon beasts have a hard time blocking it."

  Xia Xingxiao asked: "Is this method effective against sandworms?"

  Li Yuzi shook his head and said, "It's useless. The body structure of the sand scorpion and the sand crab are different, it's not afraid of the Seven Severing Heart Palm. The surface of the sand crab's body is soft, making it easy to change the position of its force, avoiding its vital points. To deal with the sand scorpion, the best method is to use the Nine Transformations of True Essence. Use your own true energy to condense into two split bodies and attack it from three directions."

  Xia Xing said excitedly: "My Qing Zhen Nine Changes can just condense two clones... But, are two clones enough?"

  As for the art of duplication, Xia Xingxiao's understanding was also limited.

  Li Yuzi said: "To deal with the sandworm, two avatars are enough. As long as we use our avatars to divert its attention, we can strike it down mercilessly."

  Xia Xingxiao nodded thoughtfully. He suddenly beckoned with his hand, and two clones instantly appeared. To be precise, they weren't clones, but rather were simulated using true energy. Their appearance was identical to Xia Xingxiao's. However, their essence was a ball of true energy. Since they were made of true energy, it meant that they couldn't be killed or destroyed.

  "Ah!" Li Yuzhi was almost stimulated to death.

  He had been stimulated countless times by Xia Xingxiao, but this time he was still deeply stimulated. No way, Xia Xingxiao, this pervert, is really too perverted. Others need to prepare for dozens of seconds in advance to condense an avatar. Even the fastest ones take more than thirty seconds. But Xia Xingxiao just waved his hand and condensed two avatars out of thin air. Come on, can't you be even more perverted?

  Xia Xingxiao himself wasn't surprised at all. He thought others were the same as him, and with a wave of his hand, a duplicate would appear. He looked at his duplicate and felt a bit strange. The duplicate and the original were really identical. If it was someone else, they might not be able to tell them apart. On the intense battlefield, the chances of being mistaken for each other were too high.

  Paralyzing, what is the Nine Transformations of the Congenital Essence after all? How can it still condense and split into multiple bodies? Does this mean that from now on, I can just hide behind and watch the excitement, and let my split body go and fight with the enemy? As long as the original body doesn't die, as long as there is still true energy, the split body can't be killed no matter how it's beaten! This kind of martial arts is too perverted.

  In my memory, the Nine Transformations of Condensing Truth didn't seem that formidable! The Nine Transformations of Condensing Truth seemed to be a martial art created by Qu Ao, but in the end, Qu Ao was still defeated by Bi Xuan. The first two levels of the Nine Transformations of Condensing Truth were probably the Seven Turns of Fierce Waves and the Eight Twists of Violent Wind. Its greatest feature is that it converts true energy into spiral force, breaking through the opponent's solid defense.

  Of course, after such a long time, perhaps the Nine Transformations of the True Essence have evolved to be quite different from their original form. In fact, this evolution is not bad at all. After all, there are so many Spiral Energy martial arts out there, and it's not like the Nine Transformations of the True Essence are lacking in any way. Its divisional tactics can even be considered a kind of innovation.

  But why are there so few people who cultivate the Nine Transformations of the Condensed True Body? Don't they like the tactic of splitting their body? No matter how you look at it, using a split body to die is not a bad choice! The only thing that splits consume is true energy, and there's no other loss.

  Li Yuzi apparently saw Xia Xingxiao's confusion and couldn't help but say with envy: "You're a freak, that's why you're so powerful. It's already extremely difficult for ordinary people to condense an avatar. Do you think condensing an avatar is easy? Just the consumption of true energy would require emptying nearly half of your dantian."

  "For example, I myself am fundamentally unable to condense a clone. Because my own true energy is already insufficient, where would I have extra true energy to do other things? Having emptied more than half of the Qi Sea's true energy, what can be done with the remaining bit of true energy? It must be known that clones also consume one's own true energy. Once action is taken, it's a doubled rate of consumption, who can withstand it?"

  Xia Xing Xiao nodded, indicating understanding. It seems that indeed, he had become abnormal again. Condensing a clone would indeed consume a large amount of true energy, and maintaining the clone's existence also required consuming a considerable amount of true energy. And once the clone took action, it was also the original body's true energy being consumed. Calculating like this, the consumption of true energy was really like flowing water, disappearing with a gurgle. Fortunately, he had thirty-three Qi seas; otherwise, it would probably be unbearable.

  Li Yuzi said, "Since you can condense two avatars, our journey will be much safer. You first use the Toad Skill to open the way and force out all the sand scorpions hiding underground. As long as we're not ambushed by them, it's no big deal. At that time, you first use your yin-cold martial arts to freeze them, then use your avatars to attract their attention, and Fa Tou and the others will smash them with heavy weapons."

  Li Yuzi paused for a moment, then thought of something and said: "Right, Fanwu Ruyi is also a good martial art against the enemy, which can integrate the changing force of rotation into it. The surface of the scorpion's body is actually soft and fluffy, and the hard force is easily dissipated. Only the rotating force can break through their surface defense."

  Xia Xing nodded slightly, without saying a word. In his heart, he had already made arrangements for the scorpion. With two avatars as helpers, his combat power would definitely increase greatly. In previous battles, his true energy was often wasted in vain, but with the two avatars, this vast amount of true energy could finally be put to good use.
