Chapter Fifty-Three: All Trump Cards Are Played

  Boom

  A loud rumbling sound echoed through the dark forest, causing the entire mountain to tremble. A powerful aura emanated from within.

  "This one move!" Wang Shi took a deep breath, and this momentum already had the strength of a half-step Condensing Pearl expert!

  "Essence Symbol, rotate!" Wang Shi shouted in a low voice, and a faint golden light emanated from his body. The spiritual energy that was slightly unstable at the seventh layer of the Wilderness suddenly stabilized with the emergence of this golden light, which was like a strong stimulant. Then, Wang Shi's aura began to rise steadily, becoming stronger and more intense.

  Buzz

  In an instant, Wang Shi's strength broke through to the eighth layer of the Wilderness Realm, and the aura on his body surged like a rising tide, layer upon layer ascending!

  Not long after, Wang Shi's strength actually remained at the peak of the pioneering realm, and even had a shadow of the ninth layer of the pioneering realm!

  "This symbol is getting clearer and the span of power enhancement is getting bigger!" Wang Shi muttered, his eyes lit up. A very strong spiritual force was rolling in his body!

  Boom

  "Hmm? Improved your strength? Hmph, you must have relied on external objects, it won't last for long!" The white-haired old man stared at Wang Shi with a piercing gaze, sneering at the latter's rapid increase in power.

  "No matter how strong you are, you're still just an ant!"

  …………..

  "Golden Fist!" Wang Shi's entire body was surrounded by a faint golden light, holy and unmatched. He clenched his fists, and spiritual energy surged into his fists. Suddenly, the golden light flashed brightly, and two golden fist prints burst out of Wang Shi's hands in an instant. The two golden fist prints entwined together, like a whirlwind, with the speed of a shooting star, carrying a powerful spiritual energy that swept away!

  Under the old man's gentle hum, white spiritual energy and golden fist prints collided fiercely. A powerful wave of air instantly sent Wang Shi flying, and that direction was the core of the Dark Forest!

  "Hah!" Wang Shi spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs shaken. He quickly swallowed a healing pill and, despite his injuries, he smiled. Taking advantage of the shockwave, he rushed towards the heart of the Dark Forest - this was his goal!

  A thick smoke filled the air, but the old man with white hair furrowed his brow.

  "Hmph, a small trick!" The old man didn't seem to be in a hurry either. He took out that blood clot the size of half a palm and saw that the black dots on it were moving towards the core of the dark forest at a turtle's pace. The distance between the black dots and the core of the dark forest was still about half a finger long.

  "You can't escape, young one!" The old man put the blood clot into the Qiankun bag, then with a flick of his sleeve, a strong gust of wind dispersed the thick smoke. Wang Shi was already gone, and the old man chased after him in one direction.

  ……………

  "Haha, little kid, you can't escape." This voice filled with murderous intent came from far away and entered Wang Shi's ears, causing him to tremble instantly.

  "Feng Qing Ying!" Wang Shi transformed into a golden light and quickly ran towards the core of the dark forest.

  "As long as we reach the core, there's a chance of survival!" Wang Shi rushed forward with a goal in mind.

  However, before long, a voice came from behind him, which broke Wang Shi's plan!

  "Kid, your speed is considered fast for someone of the same level, even among those at the ninth level, but it's too slow for a cultivator like me!" The old man's figure suddenly appeared behind Wang Shi!

  "Too fast!" Wang Shi was shocked, but in fact, he still underestimated the strength of Ningzhu. To Ningzhu, everyone below him was just an ant, nothing more! If the old man really got angry, Wang Shi believed that he would be crushed with just one slap!

  "Die, young one!" the white-haired old man bellowed, unleashing a palm strike infused with surging spiritual energy, like a sharp knife stabbing towards Wang Shi! That was a fatal blow to Wang Shi!

  Rumbling sound

  That palm made Wang Shi feel as if space itself had warped, a suffocating aura pressed in on him, giving him no chance to escape!

  On the old man's right wrist, a bumpy grey pebble appeared! The aura around the old man surged even more violently.

  "Is this the Spirit Pearl?!" Wang Shi knew that this gray pebble was indeed the Spirit Pearl! In the Wilderness Realm, as long as one could condense a Spirit Pearl, they would be considered a strong Condensation Master!

  "War Symbol!"

  In the air sea, another stone bead lit up, a strong sense of combat ignited within him! As if he had drunk a cup of strong liquor, his whole body was burning hot, and the aura on his body surged to an extreme high!

  Wang Shi felt his spirit soaring! His eyes were filled with a strong sense of combat, dispelling the fear that had gripped him earlier, making him seem crazy!

  "This young man has so many good things, and his trump card is endless!" The old man with white hair said in surprise.

  Looking at the strong aura on Wang Shi's body, it was hard to believe. If it were said that temporarily increasing one's strength by taking some elixirs was possible, but suddenly increasing one's aura? The old man had never heard of such a thing!

  Aura is a mysterious substance that only rises with the increase of strength, and can also be accumulated day by day in actual combat and field training. Aura can intimidate people, and even without moving one's hands, it can scare off enemies.

  But like Wang Shi, suddenly raising his momentum, it really made the old man a little dazed.

  "Has he practiced some sort of martial arts?" The white-haired old man guessed, he felt that Yu Que's words were not wrong, this Wang Shi was indeed a bit extraordinary!

  "Golden Floating Finger!" Wang Shi shouted in a low voice, his eyes burning with battle fire, but his hands were not chaotic at all, clear and powerful, swift and fierce. In an instant, a small half-section of golden giant finger appeared before him, and behind him, the golden giant tower was still faintly visible!

  Boom

  Only a dull thud was heard, like the tolling of a bell rippling outward, deafening to the ears! A massive force burst forth, like a stormy rain sweeping through the dark forest!

  "Hmm, what incredible strength! This kid's power is really too overwhelming. He's escaped again!" The old man's face turned somewhat solemn. If it was said that the first time he didn't use his full strength, being escaped could be forgiven. However, the second time, the power was enough to crush him, but on the ground, there was only a puddle of blood left, and Wang Shi Ren had long since disappeared.

  "This kid is interesting!" The old man said coldly in his heart.

  ………

  In a hidden place in the dark forest, Wang Shi was hiding there.

  As he walked over, his entire body covered in blood, he was on the verge of fainting and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The golden light on his body was somewhat faint and seemed to be disappearing!

  "It's okay, it's okay, a few bones were broken, the internal organs were torn apart, the skin was ripped open, and several tendons were severed." This is undoubtedly a severe injury, a fatal wound! Then Wang Shi's eyes lit up, he could be said to have escaped from the hands of death with all his might.

  It's already a miracle that he can stay alive, and the reason is none other than his opponent being an extremely powerful warrior!

  Wang Shi quickly took down the Hui Xue Dan and Hui Qi Dan, adjusting his body.

  "What the...?!" Wang Shi felt that in his own body, amidst the flesh and blood, he had discovered a lone blood clot. This place was extremely hidden, it was one of Wang Shi's usual blind spots. Only now, after suffering heavy injuries, did Wang Shi notice it.

  This is another blood clot laid by Yu Que, but now it has emerged in Wang Shi's body. This can't be blamed on Que, he thought that if this white-haired old man went, it would be a one-time deal. Moreover, at that time, he was also hastily planted, and the powerful force shook Wang Shi's entire body, and the blood clot was also shaken out.

  Heh-heh

  Wang Shi subconsciously went to probe the blood clot, and as soon as he touched it, the blood clot suddenly burst open, causing Wang Shi's body to shake again, and the wound opened up again.

  "What is this thing?" Wang Shi said with some annoyance.

  Only then did a burst of blood explode outwards, and a wisp of black smoke began to emanate from Wang Shi's body.

  "This... This is what Yu Que has done!" Wang Shi said gloomily, the pungent smell emitted by that black smoke was familiar to Wang Shi.

  "Could it be that the old man is in cahoots with Yu Que? And how did this old man find me so quickly, is it because of him too?" Wang Shi's mind suddenly cleared up and he understood a lot.

  "This Medicine City is also somewhat unclean!" Wang Shi spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva and chuckled lightly.
