Chapter 79: Sudden Breakthrough on the Battlefield

  "Haha, your energy is quite interesting, it's actually possible for you to reach the True Person realm with just a Warrior layer. The Yuanjing True Person from the Taihang Sect smiled and said, "If you were really allowed to grow up and break through to the True Person realm, I'm afraid someone like me wouldn't be in your eyes anymore. Unfortunately... you don't have this opportunity now."

  As he spoke, the mysterious man suddenly launched a proactive attack, using a sword technique similar to "Directly Attacking the Dragon's Lair", directly charging towards Fang Tian Nan's face.

  He knew that his opponent's strength was above his own, especially the true yuan in his body, which gave him a significant advantage in battle against Fang Tian Nan. If Fang Tian Nan didn't have any tricks up his sleeve, it would be very difficult for him to retreat unscathed from his opponent's attacks. Therefore, this person of Yuan Jing realm didn't need to use high-level techniques in martial arts either. He just needed to follow the usual routine and face Fang Tian Nan with the sword techniques he was most familiar with and skilled at. Fang Tian Nan would feel a headache coming on.

  In fact, it is indeed so.

  The explosion of a drop of Yang liquid, the energy that was scattered out, in Fang Tian Nan's body, at first, could indeed make him reach a strength similar to that of a human True Yuan realm cultivator. This was also why Fang Tian Nan had been able to kill a Martial Artist in the later stages of the Qi Refining Realm with just one move. However, as time passed, Fang Tian Nan clearly felt that the energy within his body was gradually weakening.

  And what about Yuan Jing who is currently competing against Fang Tian Nan?

  The opponent's momentum, on the other hand, rose even more after the initial exchange, as if Fang Tian Nan's display of strength had piqued his interest.

  Fang Tian Nan could clearly feel that the other party was treating him as a peer, a true person of the same level.

  The more it is such a moment, Fang Tian Nan reminds himself that he must be more careful.

  He only saw the other's sword moves, very plain and simple, just like the moves Fang Tian Nan had used when he was practicing with Zhai Jian Ming and others. However, the true yuan flowing on the long sword, as well as that unmatched aura, made Fang Tian Nan feel a sense of crisis all around him.

  No matter what kind of move Fang Tiannan chose at this time, it seemed that he would fall into the opponent's reserved backhand.

  This made Fang Tian Nan frown immediately.

  However, the time left for Fang Tiannan to think was undoubtedly not much. Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan used all his strength to bring out the "Sword Energy Like Pine" move, a defensive technique. The energy inside his body, with the explosion of yang liquid, also gathered at this moment, all concentrated on the Qingyun sword in his hand.

  The two long swords crossed each other once again.

  Fang Tiannan's feeling was similar to the first time they fought, with a somewhat similar situation. Yuan Jing Zhenren's true yuan still made Fang Tiannan feel that the energy in his body had become somewhat disordered, and this invading true yuan was also wantonly destroying Fang Tiannan's meridians.

  Because of the energy released by a single drop of Yang liquid, at this moment, it has almost been exhausted. Fang Tian Nan can only grit his teeth and desperately resist the invasion of this True Yuan.

  The leader of the Taixing Gang, Yuan Jing, was slightly puzzled at this moment.

  "Have you used up all your energy?" The other person furrowed their brow, muttering to themselves, "It seems like it's weakened a lot. Yes, also, when you suddenly made your move and quickly killed two warriors earlier, you must have burst out with the strongest energy you'd accumulated over time. At this point, it's already at the end of its tether. In that case, it doesn't seem like I need to go to much trouble anymore..."

  "You'll know if you try." Fang Tian Nan responded with a sentence.

  "Oh...?" The other person's eyes lit up involuntarily and blurted out, "Could it be that you still have some trump card?"

  Fang Tian Nan did not say anything more about this.

  。。。。。。

  After two simple exchanges, Fang Tian Nan also understood that although his opponent was a True Person of the Human Yuan Realm, he may not have had much advantage in swordsmanship. Even the long sword in his opponent's hand was dispensable for Fang Tian Nan. In fact, Fang Tian Nan had heard before that every weapon in the True Person realm was custom-made. Otherwise, why would someone on the free trading market of Qing Yun Sect seek a fourth-grade Ice Cold Mystic Iron and promise great benefits to create a suitable weapon?

  It's nothing more than a cultivator of the True Person Realm, because they have already cultivated the True Origin within their body. And the power of the True Origin is not something that can be compared to the Qi of a martial artist.

  Each real-life weapon used by a martial artist has fundamental differences from those used in martial arts.

  First, the properties contained in the materials of a weapon when it is forged must match the innate attributes of the person wielding it. For example, if a person has an innate attribute of fire energy, they would naturally choose a weapon that also contains fire energy properties. If they were to use a water energy property weapon instead, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

  The weapons used by real people are called "Xuanqi" in the eyes of cultivators to distinguish them from ordinary weapons.

  The efficacy of the mystic instrument, apart from assisting in increasing the true person's combat strength during battle and harmonizing with the circulation of the true yuan within the true person's body, will also transmit the true person's true yuan due to its own rank.

  It's as if a martial artist with innate attribute energy cultivates in the realm of martial arts, and during combat, they can rely on their sword techniques to carry part of their attribute energy within their weapon. During battle, they infiltrate this energy into the opponent's body meridians, causing damage.

  The true person's mysterious device carries the True Origin!

  It was clear that Fang Tian Nan was pondering, the person in front of him, Yuan Jing Zhen Ren of Tai Hang Sect, should have just recently advanced to the Human Yuan Realm, and the long sword in his hand was not a Xuan-level equipment, but an ordinary weapon.

  Otherwise, in the two exchanges between the two sides, Fang Tian Nan would not be able to counteract the invading true yuan energy in his meridians with just the internal energy within his body.

  If the opponent's weapon is a mysterious device, then it can't be helped that Fang Tian Nan had already lost his fighting strength from the first attack. Unless Fang Tian Nan immediately burst out with a second drop of Yang liquid and turned to escape, otherwise, he would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.

  This is also why cultivators consider breaking through to the Human Yuan Boundary as a turning point in their cultivation journey.

  As long as a cultivator has true yuan in their body, the combat power they exhibit is not something that a martial artist can defeat just by relying on numerical superiority.

  。。。。。。

  It is just like the two strokes of the Chinese character for "person": one stroke advancing and one stroke retreating.

  No matter what choice it is, as long as Fang Tian Nan did the right thing at the right time, for the current Fang Tian Nan, it is all a clear conscience.

  Fang Tiannan glanced at Han Guangyue, who was not far away, with a hint of regret. He then looked at Yuan Jingzhen, the leader of the Taixing Sect, who seemed to be watching him with interest. Fang Tiannan finally began to consider his own safety. If he were to retreat now, he thought, it would also be a good choice.

  At least Fang Tiannan was not injured and could still burst out the Yang liquid power in his body, trying to shake off Ren Yuanjing's attack.

  Besides, Fang Tiannan didn't think that if he really made up his mind to run away, the Yuan Jingzhen of the Taihang Gang would pursue him relentlessly. On the side of Han Guangyue, apart from one person guarding her, the other two martial artists were either injured or supporting the injured. With such a formation, if they encountered another outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, it would be a futile effort.

  It is because of this that Fang Tian Nan chose to retreat. At present, this person is a true cultivator of the Yuan Jing realm, and therefore has some scruples.

  However, just as Fang Tiannan was about to turn around, a faint pain came from the meridians in his body. This pain seemed to be amplified infinitely. As for the strand of true yuan that Ren Yuanjing had invaded into his body, it disappeared without a trace in an instant. Fang Tiannan only felt that under this wave of pain, the change in the energy in his dantian was abnormally clear.

  Those already misty vigor groups seem to be more dense in appearance.

  Is this a sign of breaking through to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm?

  Fang Tian Nan muttered: Indeed it is so.

  The scene before him was something that Fang Tian Nan had anticipated in advance through the water curtain in the secret interior of Qing Yun Sect. However, at that time, Fang Tian Nan could only see the changes in the Qi in his Dantian, and did not expect that with the improvement of his strength, the pain in his meridians would also be so clear. Even more so, Fang Tian Nan was still wondering if this had something to do with the invasion of Ren Yuan Jing's true yuan.

  In his subconscious mind, Fang Tiannan still felt that this was possible.

  After all, competing with a strong opponent, especially when it's enough to threaten one's own life, the experience and the first feeling of true yuan invading the meridians within one's body are greatly helpful in elevating one's cultivation realm.

  If it weren't for this, how could Fang Tian Nan break through to the middle stage of the Transformation Realm at such a moment?
