Chapter 118: Only Saber Beams, No Saber Energy

Clang!

A ring reminiscent to the clashing of metal echoed throughout the place following a burst of sparks.

Under the immense force, Ji Min was pushed forward and almost fell down in the ring.

Still, he managed to prop himself up with both hands on the ground in time. His feet kicked the air, and he had to roll over repeatedly before he managed to disperse the force and regain his balance.

The mark on the back of his neck could be seen clearly. The corresponding area of the golden protective layer was blurry.

Blocked!

This was the first time someone had forcefully resisted Su Jingxing’s Three Origins Saber Art head-on.

It could only be said that the true energy internal exercise that Ji Min cultivated was too strong in defense.

A pure defensive true energy and perhaps, a tempered body as well.

If his physique was not strong, even with the protection of the layer, that massive impact of the earlier slash could still shatter his bones and break his neck.

Now, Ji Min was still standing and only grimacing in pain. This showed how strong his physique was.

Even if he hadn’t reach the limits of the human body like Su Jingxing, he wasn’t far off.

Steeling refinement?

Su Jingxing thought of a kind of martial arts.

One that specialized in tempering the body and focused on resistance and defense.

Such martial arts might not have strong offensive power, but in terms of endurance, resistance to attacks, self-healing, and defense, they could be said to be invincible.

When one cultivated to the highest level, practitioners wouldn’t even fear being bombarded by shells.

Just like the current Ji Min, his protective true energy was released externally and shrouded him like a golden body layer. Even if Su Jingxing were to exert 100,000 catties of strength, he would not be able to break through his defense.

Of course, such defense was not permanent. It could not be maintained for long.

It consumed a lot of true energy.

As such, after a brief period of shock, Su Jingxing decisively continued to move quickly. His body flashed and Ji Min couldn’t touch him.

Su Jingxing seized the opportunity from time to time and hacked at Ji Min’s head, neck, and back.

“Upwind Single Slash!”

“Sweeping River Army Slash!”

“Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sounds of metal clashing accompanied by saber beams resounded nonstop in the ring.

…

“Interesting, very interesting. One has powerful defense, while the other has impressive movement techniques. Neither can do anything to the other. At this rate, to decide the victor, we’ll have to see who has more true energy.”

“That’s true, but the defense of the Shi Family’s Guardian is too insane.”

“Hehe, aren’t you all blind? The guest elder of the Lin Family hasn’t circulated his true energy up till now! He has been using his physical strength all this while!”

“F*ck, that’s true. There are only saber beams but no saber energies. The physical strength of this fourth-grade powerhouse is probably tens of thousands of catties!”

The spectator stands were in an uproar.

Compared to Ji Min’s terrifying defense, Su Jingxing’s physical strength was equally shocking when discovered.

Coupling his pure physical strength with martial arts, he forced Ji Min to retreat from time to time.

Not many people possessed such capabilities.

Ji Min had met his match!

Not only was his movement technique formidable, his movements were swift, agile and unrestrained.

His body was full of physical strength. If it was not tempered body then it must be innate divine strength.

When the two were matched together, he might be able to defeat Ji Min without using true energy!

With this thought in mind, the expressions of the Shi Family grew increasingly grim.

Meanwhile, Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, Xiao Chengyue, and the others cheered excitedly.

The Li, Zhou and Qi Families watched excitedly.

In every corner of Qinghe City, the people watching the live broadcast on televisions and the Internet were also amazed. They stared unblinkingly.

Both of them were fourth-grade martial artists, and each of them had their own means and special abilities.

Who would be the final victor?

…

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing was still coming from the ring and echoing throughout the arena.

“Stop right there! Stop right there! If you have the guts, fight me face to face!”

Ji Min shouted angrily as he writhed.

Although Su Jingxing wasn’t able to break through his defense, every time his saber struck the protective layer, the rebound of the immense force was transmitted to his body. It was still very painful.

He was in so much pain that his veins were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were trembling.

He wanted to vent his anger, but Su Jingxing wouldn’t fight him head-on, forcing him to roar and provoke Su Jingxing.

Naturally, Su Jingxing would not let him have it he wished. Within a short period of time, he had enough strength for use.

At the same time, he searched for the door to Ji Min’s shield in his growing frustration.

With martial arts like steeling refinements, unless one reaches Godlike Mastery,

there would be one or two spots that he could not attend to.

That was where the weakness, the door was!

Where was Ji Min’s weakness?

Eyes? Underarms? Or crotch?

Su Jingxing started to test each spot one by one.

First, the crotch. This part was often the easiest to ignore and the hardest to cultivate.

Thus, in a flash, the treasure weapon in his hand swung towards Ji Min’s crotch.

“Despicable!”

Ji Min gritted his teeth and snarled angrily.

His bald head suddenly lit up at this moment.

It was not a figurative description. It really radiated light, like a light bulb.

In the blink of an eye, beams of dazzling lights shot out.

Su Jingxing was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stepped backwards.

Hu!

But a gust of wind suddenly appeared and swept towards him.

Swish! Swish!

Su Jingxing shifted his body and dodged the attack quickly.

Boom!

However, not only did the wind not dissipate, it instead became even more intense. Like a hurricane, it created an explosive sound as it brushed against the air.

This time, Su Jingxing got a clear look.

Ji Min!

This bald fourth-grade expert was currently emitting golden light all over his body, and his head was the brightest spot.

Placing his hands tightly on his thighs, he stood upright. Like a projectile, he used his body as a weapon, chasing him, charging forward with his head bowed.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Su Jingxing moved quickly in front, changing his position.

Ji Min, whose head was glowing, was like a missile that locked onto Su Jingxing from the start and chased after him.

The two of them had suddenly switched positions.

Previously, it was Su Jingxing who chased after Ji Min. Now, it was Ji Min who was chasing after Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing also retaliated. He swung his blade at Ji Min’s head.

However, apart from the clanging of metal, there was not even a single spark.

Clearly, in Ji Min’s current state of charging like a cannonball, his defense had become stronger.

Unless Su Jingxing erupted with a hundred years of cultivation and used the maximum of Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, he really could not do anything to him.

The problem was that if were to expend his true energy this early, how would he continue fighting subsequently?

In Wan Rong’s memories, the Shi Family had more than two fourth-grade Guardians.

In Nie Renchou’s memories, there were more than two fourth-grade members in the Shi Family itself.

In other words, apart from Tang Wulin and Ji Min, the Shi Family had at least three other fourth-grade powerhouses!

If Su Jingxing were use up a large amount of his true energy now, how could he go up against the remaining fourth-grades?

Was he really going to escape when that happened?

No!

Su Jingxing was indignant.

Ji Min’s condition would definitely not last long.

It was still the same. Such an attack consumed too much energy.

“Ha! The guest elder of the Lin Family is such a drama king!”
