Chapter 1080: I Can Use My Ultimate Like a Basic Attack
"Hahaha, I've never seen anyone talk such big words."
After hearing Zhang Menglong's words, Lin Jie burst into laughter.
"I admit your martial arts just now were indeed impressive. If it weren't for this Ninth Grade Spiritual Armor, even with my powerful body refining techniques, I would have been seriously injured. A regular True Martial Ninth Grade martial artist might really suffer a great loss at your hands if unprepared."
"But how much Mystic Qi do you still have left? I reckon you're almost out, right?" Lin Jie grinned playfully. "How many more times can you use such an attack? Even one more time might be impossible, right?"
"However, body refining techniques only consume physical strength. How long do you think you can last?"
Qi Xiu's face changed behind Zhang Menglong.
Indeed, the stronger the martial arts, the more Mystic Qi it consumes. That attack just now could even instantly kill a True Martial Ninth Grade martial artist. It's terrifying to think that it might have nearly drained all of Zhang Menglong's Mystic Qi, and he may find it hard to even remain standing now.
"So, you think I'm done for?" Zhang Menglong tilted his head. "Do you really think what you think you think is what you think?"
Lin Jie's mouth twitched as he tried to grasp Zhang Menglong's words.
"Ah, young man, you're still too young!" Zhang Menglong shook his head. "Have you ever heard of the Heaven and Earth Domineering Qi Art?"
"Heaven and Earth Domineering Qi Art? What's that?" Lin Jie suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Ordinary martial artists store Mystic Qi in their dantian, but this Cultivation Technique uses the heavens and the earth as the dantian. The Mystic Qi in a human's dantian can be exhausted, but the dantian formed by the heavens and the earth is inexhaustible."
"Ridiculous, how could such a domineering Cultivation Technique exist in the world?" Lin Jie refused to believe such a thing exists; it would be too overpowered.
"Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Zhang Menglong said. "Then let me show you, but the cost might be your ass!"
"Heaven and Earth Dantian, open for me!"
In an instant, Zhang Menglong seemed to transform into an energy pump specifically designed to draw in Mystic Qi, continuously gathering it onto his body at an incredible speed!
The "Heaven and Earth Domineering Qi Art" is a peak-tier Cultivation Technique from a high-grade fantasy world. Within that novel's worldview, it is the strongest art, unmatched by any other.
"This is impossible!" Lin Jie was almost in a daze.
"Do you know what it means to use a big move as if it were a normal attack?" Zhang Menglong smiled innocently.
"Demacia!"
In just an instant, a colossal golden sword formed above Lin Jie's head, and then it smashed down upon him ferociously.
Lin Jie crossed his arms to shield his head, and although he managed to block it with his Ninth Grade Spiritual Armor and body refining technique, the massive impact still knocked him over.
But before he could stand up, a third golden sword had already materialized.
"No!"
Before he could let out a desperate scream, golden light descended from the sky; the justice of Demacia had arrived.
"Demacia!"
"Boom!"
"Demacia!"
"Boom!"
"Demacia!"
"Boom!"
...
Like a machine gun, the golden radiance continuously pummeled Lin Jie. At this moment, he finally seemed to understand the words from Zhang Menglong earlier.
He really dared to use a big move like a common attack!
The ground shook constantly, and the cracks on the surface grew ever longer, the pit's depth went from half a meter to a meter, two meters, ten meters, and finally formed a massive basin.
Though his Ninth Grade Spiritual Armor is indeed strong, it is not indestructible. Each attack makes it dent and crack. Although it wasn't shattered, the massive impact was like a heavy hammer repeatedly striking his chest.
Lin Jie began to bleed more than just blood from his mouth, but also fragments of his internal organs.
"Crack!"
Finally, the Ninth Grade Spiritual Armor could no longer withstand the onslaught of Demacia's justice, and with another flash of golden light, it was completely shattered.
Though Lin Jie's body refining techniques are strong, how could they compare to the Ninth Grade Spiritual Armor? Moreover, in Zhang Menglong's eyes, this kind of body refining technique is like roadside trash; he could easily find a technique ten times better.
Qi Xiu's face twitched watching this one-sided massacre. Such relentless, powerful attacks would render even a Heaven Breaking First Realm martial artist helpless, right? Is this the power of the prophesied Demon Spawn?
At this point, Zhang Menglong finally halted his assault. Lin Jie unsteadily stood up, looking at Zhang Menglong with eyes full of terror and dread.
"Your Cultivation Technique isn't great," Zhang Menglong waved dismissively. "Do you know what superior martial arts are?"
Lin Jie stared at Zhang Menglong, unsure of what he was trying to express.
"Great Sun Thunder Body!"
Currents began to stream across Zhang Menglong's skin, which in a flash turned into a translucent blue, like a refined artwork. Even his veins, muscles, internal organs, and every cell emitted a sapphire-like glow.
Lin Jie looked at Zhang Menglong with an almost vacant expression.
Zhang Menglong was indeed also a body refining martial artist, and his technique far surpassed his own. Even just standing there, Lin Jie felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
"Die, you bastard!"
A sapphire-colored fist hammered into Lin Jie's chest.
Lin Jie's body quivered slightly, as his once bronze skin gradually returned to its original state.
"Plop!" He fell to the ground, nearly devoid of any strength to move.
With just one punch, a True Martial Ninth Grade body refining martial artist was rendered completely powerless!
"Heh, I didn't even use Daytime Tiger, Evening Elephant, or Ye Kai, and he's already done for." Zhang Menglong shook his head and continued, "Like I said earlier, if you want to learn from me, it'll cost you your ass."
In this world, an ass is still an ass.
While others were contemplating what the cost of an ass meant, Zhang Menglong had already moved to Lin Jie's back.
"Could it be..." Qi Xiu seemed to realize what Zhang Menglong was about to do.
"Thunder Shield, Chidori!"
"Physical Technique Secret, Thousand Years Kill!"
...
"Ah!"
...
Yet another ass was sacrificed.
"So powerful, truly incredible." Qi Xiu realized that he wouldn't have to die today, and he might even have the chance to turn the tables and make a spectacular comeback!
"Brother Zhang, I, Qi Xiu, keep my word. As long as I can safely return to the Royal City, my older brothers won't dare to harm me any longer. I can mobilize my forces, and I'll share half of my wealth with you. Furthermore, I promise that if I become the ruler of the dynasty, I'll share the world with you!"
"I have no interest in the world, just give me money."
At this point, Ji Meng could no longer remain calm. The men whom the Senior Prince sent to assist them were all beaten to such a pitiful state—what could they possibly do now?
"Everyone else can leave, but not him!" Qi Xiu pointed at Ji Meng and said, "Brother Zhang, can I ask you to do me one more favor? This person ruined my foundation and killed many of my loyal subordinates; I want him alive!"
"Sure," Zhang Menglong nodded, "but you'll need to pay extra!"
