Seemingly aware of my blunder, Hornet 01 smiled evilly before he punched straight for my gut. When did he snap out of his daze?! Shit!
-
With only my right hand usable, I quickly released a series of hand seals before shouting, "Shield!"
-
Right before Hornet 01's fist landed on me, an invisible layer of Spiritual Energy materialised in front of me, protecting me from Hornet 01's assault as well as absorbed his attack before dispersing.
-
Seeing his attack being blocked so easily by something invisible, his eyes bulged and his mouth flew open. 'Even if I did not use my full power, that was still a fist from me at late Core Formation realm. How did he??'
-
When you have an overly strong soul, the number of things you can do to your opponent is infinite. Take it from me, my soul was strengthened and tempered over and over again back on the Path of Faithfulness thanks to Neoh's cultivation art and has now reached Heavenly realm. And since I had knowledge about souls back then, I know how to properly train my body to withstand my overly strong soul's strength. Currently, I could only form some simple spiritual weapons and release my Spiritual Pressure to my surroundings. Oh, and I could read minds as well. As for forcefully attacking my opponent's Spiritual Sea with my soul is a big no right now.My body wouldn't be able to handle the backlash if the attack failed.
-
Seeing that his attack being easily blocked shook his world views greatly, I looked at him disdainfully as I began my arrogant kid act. "Huh? That's it? What are you standing there for? Never seen a spiritual barrier before? Have you been living under a rock? You're a Core Formation realm expert yet you're here bullying a junior…Don't you know any shame? Are members of the Bumblebeast Family this shameless?? Shame on you!"
-
After 10 minutes of me throwing him insult after insult about his parents, siblings, grandparents and ancestors, he continued to stand there in a daze, unmoving. Seeing his eyes slowly losing their shine, I suspected that his mind's damage was self inflicted. He was confident he could teach me a lesson but I blocked his attack easily, causing him to lose confidence immediately? Does a Core Formation realm expert has such low self esteem????
-
After another 30 minutes of raining insults, Hornet 02 who was glaring at me the whole time as I continued to insult Hornet 01's 18 generations of ancestors had finally popped a vein. "You stinking brat! Nobody would assume you're mute even if you don't talk. You think your tongue is so sharp huh? Since my brother is unwell at the moment, I will teach you a lesson in his stead!" He proceeded to charge at me as I realized I...may have fucked myself up.
-
Waving another series of hand seals with my right hand, Spiritual Energy started to gather towards me as I activated [Spirit Eyes] again. Hit by my spiritual attack, Hornet 02 was dazed for a moment which resulted in him tripping. But when he got back up, his eyes were spewing fire fiercely as he charged at me with the intent to kill. It was also at this moment that the amount of Spiritual Energy in the air gathered in the air had reached saturation. I then threw a palm strike at the mass of Spiritual Energy though it probably seemed like I was just palm striking air from Hornet 02's perspective.
-
Unaware of the incoming doom, Hornet 02 suddenly halted his steps before he began laughing mockingly. "You were talking bad about my brother just now yet now you're scared?? It seemed like you were unleashing some secret technique, so I was put up my guard the whole time but...I didn't expect you'd palm strike air! Hahaha, this is too hilarious!"
-
Half a second later, Hornet 02 stopped laughing as he was blown back several meters into a brick wall. "Hehehe, laugh some more lah...You didn't even detect that a ball of spiritual energy was flying towards you! Laugh lah, ignorant fool!"
-
Inside brick wall laid Hornet 02, his eyes bulged and his mouth was hanging open as he couldn't figure out how he ended up in there. Thinking back at how hard he mocked me before suddenly getting slammed into a wall, he couldn't help but cough up blood. 'I was defeated by that kid again?! What have I been cultivating for if I can't even beat up a Body Tempering brat?!' Oh, he coughed up another mouthful of blood, lol.
-
Since Hornet 01 was dispirited and Hornet 02 was incapacitated, I decided to use the time to heal my other wounds. With a thought, I released tons and tons of Spiritual Energy towards my surrounding before gathering and absorbing it back into my body. My pores acts as a filter and thus filtered all of the absorbed Spiritual Energy into Lingqi before letting it flow through my body. Lingqi, is the purified version of Spiritual Energy and is normally used by Spirit Refinement realm and Soul Condensation realm cultivators. With the help of Lingqi flowing to every part of my body, my body's self healing rate increased by at least 5 folds.
-
*Crack* *Crack* *Crack*....
-
I couldn't help but let out multiple groans as I felt my arm bones and ribs rearranged themselves before they started mending back together.
-
After an hour of recuperating, my face had lost all blood, my clothes were soaked in dust and sweat, and my body ached everywhere. The pain of my bones mending was worse than a Heaven Tribulation! On the bright side though, I have recovered most of my internal wounds, meridians and bones included.
-
When I got out of the brick wall, the first thing I did was to acquire some loot from my attackers I worked so hard to defeat. Hornet 02 who also stuck in a brick wall saw through my intentions and threatened me but that's about it. With a flick of my hand, I manipulated Spiritual Energy into a spear before thrusting it at Hornet 01's heart. Even if the enemy was dispirited, it was better for me to quickly kill him before he recovers. After all, it was better to behead a snake lest it comes back to bite you. (I don't know the actual idiom and google's not helping)
-
But before the spear's tip could get close to Hornet 01, it stopped dead in its tracks. It was also from above that a monstrous pressure suddenly descended upon me. The air around me froze as I felt my chest get heavier and heavier. Soon, my legs buckled as my vision turned blurry 'What terrifying pressure! I...can't...breathe...'
