Chapter 4 Backlash
Mo Juren moved swiftly, trying to avoid the three dangerous earth spikes.
But Zhang Tie had waited so long for this opportunity, how could he let Mo Juren break it so easily? The moment the earth spikes appeared, Zhang Tie punched Mo Juren in the head.
The punch, with the force of a thousand pounds, swept in with a whooshing sound!
There were three earthen spikes below and an iron fist slamming down on his head above. Mo Juren could dodge one of them, but he definitely couldn't dodge the other!
Mo Juren made a decision in an instant. He tilted his head and successfully avoided Zhang Tie's punch. He then turned his feet and seemed to use some kind of light footwork to barely dodge the two soil spikes on his feet and calves. However, the third soil spike still pierced Mo Juren's waist.
Having dodged the fatal blow, Mo Juren felt a sharp pain in his waist, and his face turned extremely pale.
He spent all his time hunting sparrows, but today he was pecked blind by one!
Fortunately, the soil spikes did not pierce through his waist, leaving only a ten-centimeter wound. The injury will not cause any major problems in the short term, but it is hard to say what will happen in the long run.
We must deal with this kid as soon as possible!
A shadow crossed Mo Juren's eyes, but his gaze sharpened, and he began to regard Zhang Tie as an opponent of equal strength.
"Good, very good. You are increasingly surprising me! Once I capture you, I will definitely interrogate you thoroughly to uncover your secrets!" Mo Juren whispered, but his words sent a chill down Zhang Tie's spine.
However, it's either him or Mo Juren who will die today; there's no room for negotiation between them!
But then Mo Juren tapped his fingers several times near the wound on his waist, seemingly using some kind of martial arts method to stop the bleeding.
Zhang Tie's heart sank. He had thought that this attack would severely injure Mo Juren and cripple half of his combat power, but he did not expect that this old ghost would come up with so many tricks and was really troublesome!
However, Zhang Tie also knew that this method would not last long, and Mo Juren would definitely go all out, which would make things even more dangerous!
"Zhang Tie, in my life, the chances of me misjudging someone are very small. You are one of them, but in the end, all those opponents died at my hands without exception..." Mo Juren looked at Zhang Tie with a calm gaze, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"So what if they're cultivators? I'll annihilate them today!"
Before he finished speaking, Mo Juren vanished from his spot, shooting towards Zhang Tie like a sharp arrow.
Zhang Tie's pupils contracted, and he slammed his right hand down on the ground.
"Pfft!" A burr shot out from Mo Juren's path, but Mo Juren twisted his body strangely, and the burr grazed past his leg without even piercing his skin.
Mo Juren's figure had already appeared in front of Zhang Tie, and he struck out with a palm.
This palm strike was devoid of any fancy moves, but it was so fast that Zhang Tie couldn't even see its trajectory and could only rely on his instinctive senses to dodge by tilting his head.
"Bang!"
The palm strike exploded in Zhang Tie's ear, slamming directly into the wooden pillar behind him. The thick wooden pillar instantly cracked, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
Zhang Tie felt a ringing in his left ear, and before he could even stand up straight, Mo Juren's second palm strike arrived.
The palm struck Zhang Tie's left shoulder directly.
"Thump!" Zhang Tie's body was sent flying again, crashing into the wooden pillar behind him. This time, the pillar broke completely, and the enormous recoil swept over his body, causing him to feel dizzy and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Tie scrambled to his feet, feeling utterly numb in his left shoulder.
On the other side, Mo Juren did not continue the pursuit, but instead frowned slightly and looked down at his right hand.
He hadn't held back with those palm strikes; he had used all his strength. But when they hit Zhang Tie, 30% of the force was inexplicably deflected.
This kid's cultivation technique is extraordinary!
This is the only explanation; the Elephant Armor Technique alone could not provide such defensive capabilities.
Thinking of this, Mo Juren felt a surge of excitement, but the heat and pain in his waist quickly calmed him down.
Those few moves just now directly broke open the blocked acupoints. We need to finish off this kid as soon as possible and treat his wounds!
Mo Juren made another move.
This time, the speed was even faster, and the movement technique was used to the extreme, drifting left and right like a falling leaf.
Zhang Tie's ground spike technique requires predicting the location, which Mo Juren's movement technique makes completely impossible for him to predict. He truly deserves to be called a seasoned veteran who has fought his way up in battle.
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
Three earth spikes shot out in succession, all missing their mark. Although they slowed down Mo Juren's trajectory to some extent, they still reached Zhang Tie and slapped Zhang Tie's forehead with a palm.
"Kid, die!"
Zhang Tie dared not take the attack head-on, and suddenly rolled to the side, managing to dodge it despite looking somewhat disheveled.
Mo Juren, not one to back down, struck again with a palm, but Zhang Tie braced himself with one hand on the ground.
"Pfft!" A splinter of dirt pierced out from under Mo Juren's foot. Mo Juren's steps faltered, and he stopped, clearly not wanting to get hurt again.
opportunity!
Although Zhang Tie couldn't lift his left arm, he could still move his right arm. He used all his strength to activate the spiritual energy in his body, and the spiritual energy he had accumulated over several days was almost completely squeezed out.
Three soil spikes simultaneously pierced out from beside Mo Juren, with the two on the left and right piercing his left and right legs respectively, and the middle one piercing directly into his groin!
Mo Juren's expression changed slightly. No man could resist dodging, and Zhang Tie was betting that he would back down.
As expected, Mo Juren took three steps back, barely dodging the middle spike and his left leg, but his right leg was torn open.
Mo Juren steadied himself, looked down at the bloodstains on his calves, and frowned even more deeply.
"Zhang Tie, you must have run out of spiritual power by now!" As if reminded by Yu Zitong, Mo Juren's face immediately revealed a sinister smile.
Zhang Tie did not answer, and continued to release earth spikes. His spiritual power was indeed almost gone!
Seeing Zhang Tie remain silent, Mo Juren immediately laughed: "The spiritual power of the first level of Qi Refining is at most enough for you to use spells ten times. You've already used them five times? Six times? You won't last much longer!"
Zhang Tie knew that Mo Juren had received guidance from the remnant soul of Yu Zitong.
But Mo Juren was right. The total spiritual power of the first level of the Giant Spirit Technique was indeed only enough to release the Earth Spike Technique ten times. Including the one just now, he had already used it seven times!
It can be used a maximum of three more times!
After using it three times, his spiritual power was exhausted, and he was like a fish on a chopping board.
Mo Juren had clearly considered this, and instead of rushing to attack, he slowly approached Zhang Tie.
If Zhang Tie releases the Earth Spike Technique, he will dodge it; if he doesn't, he will close in and take him down. No matter which choice he makes, he will be the one laughing last!
"Old Mo, have you ever thought about this?" Zhang Tie, who had been forced into a corner, suddenly spoke up.
Mo Juren paused in his steps: "What's the problem?"
"Why would I attack you?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile.
Mo Juren's pupils contracted.
Just then, a cold light pierced through the window next to Mo Juren!
Mo Juren reacted extremely quickly, suddenly turning to the side. A crossbow bolt, gleaming with a cold light, flew past his cheek and embedded itself in the wooden door behind him, the bolt still trembling.
Mo Juren stared in shock at the window, where a young figure stood—Han Li?!
