Chapter 365: 【155】God and Buddha form, three births in one body_6
Only when one’s Spiritual Power has reached a sufficiently high level can their sensory perception capture a glimpse.
The golden three-faced Vajra Arhat illusion above Li Qionghao’s body is the manifestation of his ’will and spirit form’.
It’s also known as ’Heaven and Earth’, described by ancient philosophers as the form of the intangible Spirit when it can be manifested tangibly.
Jiang Tianzhen was greatly shocked; he never imagined that Li Qionghao could reach this level.
Could it be that during his years in hiding, he has discovered the path to condensing the Upper Dantian?
Jinbao Eunuch, however, couldn’t see the three-faced Vajra Arhat illusion on Li Qionghao, but when he saw Jiang Tianzhen show a cautious expression,
Jinbao Eunuch couldn’t help but feel relieved: "It seems the Duke has improved over the years. If we can kill Jiang Tianzhen here today, Jiang Xuanhe outside won’t be a concern, and the Duke can reclaim the White Lotus Society, bringing glory back to the Li family."
"After decades, let me face you again, the Jiang family’s White Lotus Thirty-Six Qi Swords!"
Li Qionghao took a step forward, truly shrinking the earth into an inch, appearing in front of Jiang Tianzhen in the blink of an eye, throwing a simple and powerful punch.
Even the air trembled under the force of this punch, and the ground cracked.
The hair crown on Jiang Tianzhen’s head couldn’t withstand the punch’s wind, flying high, letting Jiang Tianzhen’s long black hair flutter freely.
Jiang Tianzhen’s pupils contracted, and his fingers swiftly moved to his palms. Using his index and little fingers, he struck against Li Qionghao’s iron fist.
A strong Qi Force exploded from where they stood, spreading in all directions.
The ground appeared as if plowed, becoming fragmented, layers turning over continuously.
The veins on Li Qionghao’s arm bulged, turning pitch black, and his muscles relentlessly pulled and stretched.
Jiang Tianzhen fared no better, with red veins like earthworms winding all over his arms.
This was the manifestation of their Inner Strengths battling inside each other’s bodies.
At this moment, both had each other’s Inner Strength intertwining in their meridians; if defeated, they would suffer grievous internal injuries.
For top-level experts like Li Qionghao and Jiang Tianzhen, this was a desperate full-force struggle from the onset.
"Jinbao, come and kill him."
Amidst a deadlock, Li Qionghao shouted loudly.
Jiang Tianzhen’s eyes shifted slightly, glancing at the distant Jinbao Eunuch with a gloomy expression.
Given Jinbao Eunuch’s strength, even in this situation, there was no way he could kill him.
However, once Jiang Tianzhen diverted a portion of his Inner Strength to guard against Jinbao Eunuch, Li Qionghao could exploit that flaw and suppress him.
In that case, Jiang Tianzhen would undoubtedly be defeated.
In this awkward situation, Jiang Tianzhen found himself in a dilemma.
The arrow was on the string and had to be released.
Immediately, Jiang Tianzhen released all his might, expelling Li Qionghao’s Inner Strength and shaking off his fist.
"Ugh!"
However, this also exerted enormous pressure on Jiang Tianzhen’s body, causing him to cough up blood on the spot, revealing a weakened expression for the first time.
With his strength, there are no five people in all of East Asia who could be his opponent.
Yet today, the Gang Qi consumed was enormous, even Jiang Tianzhen felt somewhat fatigued.
"Hahaha!" Li Qionghao laughed loudly, then moved forward, his large hand aiming to strike Jiang Tianzhen’s temples with a double ear-clapping blow.
But Jiang Tianzhen leaped in place, head downward, legs upward, pressing a palm on Li Qionghao’s head.
Li Qionghao immediately released Gang Qi from his Baihui, Tongtian, and Zhengying acupoints, blasting Jiang Tianzhen away, then grabbed his arm and slammed him hard into the ground.
Bang!
Li Qionghao’s strength was immense, making it difficult for Jiang Tianzhen to escape, and he was instantly driven into the rocky ground, carving out a human-shaped crater.
Jiang Tianzhen spat blood again, his internal organs suffering considerable damage from Li Qionghao’s slam.
Only to see Jiang Tianzhen’s eyes turn fierce as he swung his little finger to his waist, pointing a finger behind his back at Li Qionghao.
A Gang Sword silently shot at Li Qionghao’s Lower Dantian Guanyuan Acupoint, penetrating unexpected through his abdomen.
"Ahhh!!!"
Among the many acupoints in the human body, the Lower Dantian Guanyuan Acupoint, Middle Dantian Shanzhong Acupoint, and Upper Dantian Forehead Acupoint are undoubtedly the most important for a Martial Artist.
The Lower Dantian is where Martial Artists refine essence and store Inner Strength; any injury to the Guanyuan Acupoint is extremely significant.
Although Gang Qi Grandmasters are powerful, if not prepared in advance, they cannot always guard against attacks from anywhere at any time.
For instance, if a sniper at 2000 meters away assassinated a Gang Qi Grandmaster unaware of it with a headshot,
that Gang Qi Grandmaster would still die.
If warned in advance, staying alert and tense, perhaps they could gain a sliver of survival at the moment they sensed danger.
Jiang Tianzhen’s sudden sneak attack caught Li Qionghao off guard.
He staggered backward, clutching the bleeding hole in his abdomen with a grim face. Without hesitation, Li Qionghao dashed to the stone platform, grabbed Jinbao Eunuch, and leaped into the adjacent pool.
Soon, their figures vanished under the water, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianzhen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, lying on the ground, continuously spitting fresh blood.
Although he heavily injured Li Qionghao with a sneak attack, his internal injuries weren’t any less severe.
His internal organs were severely damaged, and many meridians and blood vessels were ruptured during the battle with Li Qionghao.
Without a Huajin Grandmaster’s help in healing, recovering on his own would not be an easy task for Jiang Tianzhen.
He hurriedly struggled to sit cross-legged, placing his hands on his knees, assuming a strange meditation posture.
"Li Qionghao, I must thank you for the ’Formless Heaven’ you gave me back then. Otherwise, healing my injuries would have been problematic."
Looking at the tranquil pool, Jiang Tianzhen thought proudly to himself.
As a rare martial arts genius of the White Lotus Society, Jiang Tianzhen has been gifted with an innate understanding of all Martial Arts and Inner Power since he was young.
The absolute skill ’Formless Heaven’ given by Li Qionghao back in the day was no exception.
In these years, harmed by Jiang Xuanhe and trapped in the Profound Cold Ice Crystals, unable to escape, Jiang Tianzhen painstakingly researched ’Formless Heaven’s’ content.
With his extraordinary martial arts aptitude, Jiang Tianzhen successfully deciphered the secrets of ’Formless Heaven’.
"The secret of Hassan’s Paradise Garden, where no matter how one trains within, even if injured, wounds can heal instantly, I now know the reason!
Li Qionghao, once I recover, it will be time to take your treacherous head."
