NOVEL NEXT Chapter 303: Stealing the Tripod
Tie Dan watched the metal rat stealing the cauldron and leaving, but he remained calm and didn't pursue.
After all, he always acts after careful planning, being cautious and prudent. Now that he's seriously injured and surrounded by formidable enemies, he naturally wouldn't act rashly.
Moreover, that rat had previously managed to hide right under his nose. If he pursued recklessly, he might not catch up and it could escape again.
But it's not a problem, escaping temporarily is not escaping forever. Didn't a previous group rely on a Magic Artifact to track down the Nine Cauldrons? Once he gets a hold of such an artifact, neither the rat nor the cauldron will escape his grasp.
As a result, not only did Tie Dan, the yellow sparrow, not pursue, but the mantis also stayed put. The clams and sandpiper engaged in a struggle, unable to spare any attention for the metal rat.
After all, Tao Bao was quite formidable, managing to hold an advantage against two opponents.
It must be said, the rebel army's Yin Mountain Eighteen Riders are indeed something. Although they looked rough and uncouth, each one was a Martial God general, battle demons who have refined their Gang Fist over dozens of layers. They charge with overwhelming force capable of breaking magic, Qi, body, everything. Their combat power is earth-shattering, and when their Vigorous Qi erupts, they attack ferociously, even legitimate cultivators find it hard to withstand.
What's more incredible is that these martial gods from battle-hardened backgrounds somehow learned the Divine Sect's Domineering Body Technique, which filled in the last weak spot of the Gang Fist, completing a whole build!
Yes, it was directly transmitted by the Divine Lord! The Domineering Body Divine Skill!
The Domineering Body Divine Skill was originally devised by the Divine Lord to counter the Immortal Palace Guards and the Hundred-Refined Gang Fist, assembling various cultivation techniques to develop a combat method! Specifically meant for training the divine soldiers of the Divine Sect! Breaking through the Immortal Palace military formations!
This skill, although derived from the Gang Fist, relies fundamentally on muscle to resolve combat. However, under the Divine Lord's development, this skill has immense explosiveness! It directly addresses the fatal flaw of long preparation time and obvious weaknesses of the Gang Fist! It immediately forces out all potential! Unleashes peak combat power! Instantly kills in swathes!
Based on research from the Mystic Sect Daoist Sutra, this skill seems to use some Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to stimulate the brain, unleashing potential. Although it inevitably affects one's mind, leading to a violent temperament, bloodthirstiness, and excessive exhaustion on muscles and bones, resulting in a power drop in the later stages, which is disadvantageous in drawn-out battles.
Yet it is an unmatched secret manual for quickly becoming a master with supra-stage combat power! During the Domineering Body's full activation phase, it can even be immune to various Primordial Spirit Methods and Illusion Techniques! Becoming a battle machine! A killing beast! Tearing opponents to shreds relentless and fierce!
Well, it sounds quite familiar, doesn't it, somewhat close to Turbo Technique.
Yes, because the Domineering Body Technique was originally the introductory Body Refining Method for the Divine Lord Body, in other words, it is the Blood Jade Technique passed down to the Divine Sect cult members, modified multiple times to be easily understandable and doesn't require high comprehension and talent to cultivate a simplified inferior version.
And Tie Dan's Turbo Technique was also customized and optimized for his body condition with the help of Kun and Xuantian. Naturally, the two are related at the roots, similar and close. It's just that Tie Dan's turbo output is more powerful, without the disadvantage of a power drop in the later stage.
Thus, it could be said that the current Tao Bao with Domineering Body activated is approximately a downgraded version of Tie Dan, with considerable combat power.
In contrast, the two from the Mystic Sect, although at the Nascent Soul Realm, clearly were just beginners, with not even the power of two thunders, their skills were not yet honed, unable to convert their knowledge into combat power, nor bridge the combat attribute gap of the Domineering Body's explosion, and were defeated outright.
So Tie Dan hid underground, hearing the sounds of battle outside for ten or so rounds, discerned that the Mystic Sect had fallen, their Daoist skills broken, magic treasures shattered, talismans destroyed, and eventually one was pierced through the belly with a halberd, intestines strewn about, decapitating one on the spot.
"Senior brother!"
The junior brother of the Mystic Sect, eyes wide with rage, probably had taken some medicine, elevated his power and rushed desperately, managing to injure Tao Bao with a few strong moves, then willingly met his demise, eventually losing, his skull crushed by a punch, torn to pieces by monster power.
Seeing the death of the two from the Mystic Sect, Tie Dan immediately stopped hiding and fled swiftly.
"Hmph! Little thief, why didn't you keep hiding! Die!"
Tao Bao, clearly unsurprised, evident his grasp on Primordial Spirit Secret Technique of the Divine Sect had already detected someone lurking in shadows spying. Seizing the moment while the Domineering Body skill was still at its peak, he attacked, wildly swinging the iron halberd, thrusting straight at Tie Dan!
Tie Dan feigned defeat, dodged the iron halberd in a panic, turned to flee, pinching the formula, casting a cloud of rain to conceal his tracks.
Seeing this man covered in blood, clearly seriously injured and hiding underground to recuperate, now fleeing in panic, Tao Bao was delighted, pursuing the victory, charging into the raincloud, intent on taking his life!
Within the misty clouds, an Invisible Sword Qi flashed, catching Tao Bao off guard, severing him at the neck on the spot, his body then churned into mincemeat by sword light, and was immediately devoured by Tie Dan, hidden in the cloud, with the Heavenly Reversing Demon Blood Relief Technique, gaining back a large amount of blood.
Beichen Killing Sword. Clouds Dance, is essentially hiding a Sword Array in the mist, deceiving people into its ambush, a minor Deception killing technique, merely fooling reckless individuals, not worth mentioning.
Tie Dan said nothing further, adeptly used Formless Sword Qi to vanish, silently circling back, resuming his squat in the canyon.
