Chapter 152: The Power of Spiritual and Physical Unity

  Spirit and flesh as one powerful

  Zhou Yuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, he had not expected that this person named Li Jing would be so crazy, in order to make his own younger brother become the new head of Zhengyi Sect, and even collude with Li Shaozheng, willing to risk everything to come to Zhenwu Academy and assassinate Zhou Yuan.

  "Zhou Yuan, you're indeed a genius, your strength is growing too fast. If I don't make my move now and continue to hide, I'm afraid it won't be long before I really won't have the chance to kill you. Now is the best moment. You help her get through this life-or-death crisis... I think that if you still have a weak period, it's now."

  "Vulnerable period? I think, unfortunately, you're going to be disappointed. This person will never have a vulnerable period. You've exposed yourself now, and there's only one dead end. Without the academy intervening, just me alone, you want to defeat me? It's not that easy."

  "Zhou Yuan, don't say any more," Lí Jīng Dào said. "I am a master of the Xīao Yáo realm, with spirit and flesh combined, not someone whose power you can imagine. No matter how much you talk, it's just to delay time, hoping that the higher-ups of the True Martial Academy will notice here and come to rescue you. Unfortunately, I'm not a fool, your thoughts are clear as day to me. You might as well give up."

  Suddenly, Li Jing's figure flashed and rushed towards Zhou Yuan. Before he arrived, a long knife in his hand had already chopped down.

  "One sand, one blade, Crazy Sand Knife Law!!!" Li Jing's sword flashed out and killed, immediately, a large amount of sandstorm swept over, these sandstorms, towards Zhou Yuan's throat, afterwards, every grain of sand transformed into a knife light.

  It is indeed a knife technique that can turn a grain of sand into a sharp blade, an unparalleled and unbeatable skill.

  "The Wheel of Life and Death!!" Zhou Yuan's body shook, the Wheel of Life and Death appeared behind him. With one turn, a large number of life-and-death halos shot out, each black-and-white light blocking those frantic sand knife lights.

  Boom boom boom boom...

  After dozens of loud noises in a row, all the knife lights were broken by Zhou Yuan one by one.

  The next moment, Li Jing had already arrived in front of Zhou Yuan.

  Immediately, Zhou Yuan felt a sense of oppressive aura, and he could feel that in Li Jing's body, there was a mysterious power, as if his body had become a world unto itself, where all the bodily functions, organs, blood, and meridians were merged together, indistinguishable from one another. Moreover, Zhou Yuan could feel that it seemed like Li Jing's body was covered with eyes everywhere, able to see everything clearly, which was obviously his willpower permeating throughout his entire body, perfectly utilizing the power of each part of his body.

  "Awesome, this is the power of the Xianyao realm! The soul and body are completely merged together, forming a perfect unity. The whole body becomes a self-contained universe, smooth and mysterious, beyond comprehension. Indeed, it's not something that can be compared to the Lingkong Xutu realm. He not only has more powerful strength than me, but also his mastery of the physical body is far more profound than mine, far more formidable than mine! I am absolutely no match for him." Zhou Yuan's heart was heavy with a sense of foreboding. Previously, he had thought that breaking through to the Lingkong Xutu realm would allow him to completely rival the masters of the Xianyao realm, but now it seemed that things were far from being that simple.

  The monk's cultivation, the higher the level, the greater the gap between each realm.

  Ahhhhh!!!

  Zhou Yuan only felt a blackness in front of him, and then Li Jing rushed to his face, a strong gust of wind hit his face, Zhou Yuan saw a huge fist hitting his face.

  Boom! Bang! Crash!

  Li Jing's entire skeletal system responded violently, his fist technique, whether it was fierce and powerful, flexible, or penetrating, all reached the peak. This is the realm of spiritual and physical unity, where even a simple punch can exert unparalleled power.

  It was just this simple punch, but Zhou Yuan felt a huge threat, because this punch had no flaws, Li Jing's spirit and flesh were united, and the exertion of his own strength reached its peak. Every strike was the strongest, with no flaws or weaknesses.

  This is the powerful realm of unity of spirit and flesh, every move is the strongest move, no weakness, no flaw, known as flawless.

  BOOM!!!

  The Wheel of Life and Death behind Zhou Yuan shook out again, a yin-yang fish condensed in front of him, slowly rotating. At the same time, Zhou Yuan's body exploded nine times in a row.

  Nine rays of lightning shot out, forming a Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon that surrounded Zhou Yuan and began to rotate.

  Li Jing's face changed greatly as he stared at the scene, "Nine Dragons Protecting the Body Technique, you've actually mastered this ancient, long-lost ultimate defensive art. This is truly inconceivable."

  Although he said so, but Li Jing's fist did not waver at all, and it heavily struck Zhou Yuan's skull. This punch contained infinite explosive power. If Zhou Yuan could not dodge, once he was hit by the punch, his skull would immediately burst open, a true picture of liver and brain splashing everywhere.

  "Bang!!!"

  A loud explosion, Zhou Yuan's condensed yin-yang fish was first crushed by Li Jing's punch, however, the protective power of this yin-yang fish was also extremely strong. After all, it was a spell that could withstand heavenly tribulation. Although Li Jing had defeated Zhou Yuan's yin-yang fish, his fist's might was also neutralized by almost half.

  Bang!!!

  Another loud crash, Zhou Yuan's Thunder Dragon was shattered, and at this time, Li Jing's body also completely stopped, sacrificing a Thunder Dragon, Zhou Yuan finally successfully resisted Li Jing's fatal blow.

  Zhou Yuan's heart was secretly shocked. If he hadn't just refined the Nine Thunder Dragon to protect himself, even if the Yin-Yang Fish could neutralize half of the power of Li Jing's fist technique, the other half of the powerful fist would still be able to severely injure Zhou Yuan. Then, as long as Li Jing pursued and attacked again, a single move would be enough to easily end Zhou Yuan's life.

  Li Jing felt a sense of fear, Zhou Yuan's Nine Dragons Protection Technique was truly terrifying, and it had actually withstood his attack at the cost of one of the Thunder Dragons. If this continued, it was highly likely that before he could completely defeat Zhou Yuan's nine Thunder Gods, the higher-ups of the True Martial Academy would have already taken notice of this place, and soon powerful experts would arrive. At that time, he would absolutely have no way to survive. Although he had already made preparations for a desperate last stand, if he failed to complete his mission to kill Zhou Yuan, it was possible that his uncle, Li Shaozheng, would not fulfill his promise to make his younger brother the new head of the Zheng Gate.

  This was obviously something he didn't want to see, so he wanted to seize every opportunity to completely destroy Zhou Yuan.

  "Die!!!" Li Jing roared, the knife in his hand flashing with a fierce light as he slashed down at Zhou Yuan with a deadly intent. "Even your Nine Dragons Protective Technique can't block my determination to kill you, Zhou Yuan. You're definitely going to die this time."

  "Thunderbolts flash, thunder sword energy, thunder shakes the nine heavens, yin and yang mix in confusion, wheel of life and death..." Zhou Yuan also knew that this was his most dangerous moment. Li Jing's strength far exceeded his expectations. He had not thought that a carefree realm cultivator would be so powerful. Every strike was a strongest attack, with spirit and intent merged as one. Such an opponent had already surpassed Zhou Yuan in all aspects, and he fundamentally could not win.

  Although the newly repaired Jiulong Husben Shu, the nine thunder dragon gods, have an extremely powerful protective force, if they don't take action, using only the ninth swift thunder dragon to counterattack against Li Jing's attack, Zhou Yuan will definitely not be able to hold on for much longer and will soon be defeated by Li Jing. At that time, Zhou Yuan will have no choice but to await his death with closed eyes.

  However, Zhou Yuan was clearly not a person who would give up easily. Although he knew that he was no match for Li Jing, he still tried his best to resist Li Jing's attacks and buy time for himself until the higher-ups of the academy came to rescue him.

  He believed that Liu Taibai, Long Dao Mountain and Ying Ling's spirits were incredibly strong and could definitely cover the entire Zhen Wu Academy. They must have sensed it and started coming to rescue him already.

  Zhou Yuan unleashed a series of spells, using all his strength to block Li Jing's attacks.

  The knife light of Li Jing was extremely sharp, with one slash and kill, dozens of knife lights flew horizontally and vertically, the sound of breaking through the air was loud, as if even the air was being cut open by his knife.

  Boom boom boom boom...

  The magic spell cast by Zhou Yuan only lasted for ten breaths before being completely extinguished by the sword light, and then Li Jing's knife had already killed its way to Zhou Yuan's face.
