Chapter 59: 1 Star Dou Master vs. 3 Star Dou Grandmaster!

Yun Tianming vs. Jia Lie Bi, 1 Star Dou Master against 3 Star Dou Grandmaster!

Nalan Yanran vs. Tang Si, 9 Star Dou Practitioner against 4 Star Dou Master!

Judging solely by their levels, the disparity in strength between the two sides is significant, and the result should be one-sided.

"Crack!"

The collision of staff and knife, both individuals' arms simultaneously shook, and they each retreated a few steps.

"What?!"

"The Dou Qi of a mere 1 StarDou Master, how can it be so formidable?"

Feeling the numbness in his hand holding the knife, Jia Lie Bi's face became even more gloomy.

The highest-level Qi Method in the Jia Lie family is only Black Rank Low Level. It is precisely because of this that Jia Lie Bi is willing to go to any lengths to seize Yun Tianming's Black Rank High Level Qi Method: Wind Whirl Mantra.

Although Jia Lie Bi had anticipated that Yun Tianming might have cultivated a Black Rank High Level Qi Method, the difference in the quality of their Dou Qi far exceeded his expectations.

A Black Rank High Level Qi Method, is it really that powerful? Can it actually contend head-on with a Dou Grandmaster across levels?

On the other side, Nalan Yanran and Tang Si were engaged in a fierce battle. The former's advantage in Qi Method cultivation significantly narrowed the gap in Dou Qi levels!

"Is this the strength of a Dou Grandmaster? It's nothing more than that."

Yun Tianming flexed his slightly bent wrist. In the recent head-on collision, he had suffered a slight fracture, but by activating the Nourishing Divine Wood Qi Method, he had healed the injury within moments.

"You arrogant kid, don't get too carried away!" Jia Lie Bi angrily shouted. A green Dou Qi emanated from his body, forming a vivid armor shape— the symbol of a Dou Grandmaster, the Dou Qi Armor!

"Heh~" Yun Tianming chuckled, and a dark green Dou Qi Cloak condensed around him.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!" The two engaged in a fierce close-quarter blade battle.

"Overhead Strike"

"Whirlwind Blade!"

Suddenly, Jia Lie Bi shifted the blade, deliberately avoiding Yun Tianming's weapon. The large blade, infused with powerful wind blades, heavily struck Yun Tianming, simultaneously abandoning his defense and allowing the opponent's staff to pound on him.

This is a mutually damaging strategy!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Both were pushed back.

Yun Tianming's Dou Qi Cloak was cut open, leaving a fierce wound on his shoulder. Jia Lie Bi's Dou Qi Armor showed a few cracks but was not shattered.

"Kid! Did you see that? The Dou Qi Cloak of a Dou Master and the Dou Qi Armor of a Dou Grandmaster are simply incomparable!" Jia Lie Bi sneered.

"Indeed, there is a difference in defensive power."

Yun Tianming's expression remained unchanged. He activated the Nourishing Divine Wood, causing the vibrant green Dou Qi, filled with life force, to adhere to the shoulder wound. The bleeding quickly stopped, and the wound visibly healed at a rapid pace.

Seeing this, Jia Lie Bi's face changed instantly. "Such strong recovery power, what Qi Method are you cultivating?"

Does a Black Rank High-Level Qi Method have such formidable abilities?

"As you can see, it's just an ordinary Wood Attribute Qi Method."

Yun Tianming responded nonchalantly.

"Nonsense! How dare you underestimate me!"

Jia Lie Bi, hearing this, no longer wasted words. He clenched his fists, fully activating his cultivated Black Rank Low-Level Qi Method. Wind Attribute Dou Qi gathered in his legs, and his movement speed instantly skyrocketed!

In terms of speed alone, at this moment, Jia Lie Bi was no less than a 5 Star Dou Grandmaster!

Trying to take down Yun Tianming, a 1 Star Dou Master, wasn't this like taking candy from a baby?

"Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~"

Only the high-speed moving figure of Jia Lie Bi, transformed into an afterimage, darted rapidly around Yun Tianming.

Soul Perception!

Yun Tianming tilted his head, perfectly avoiding the blade that attacked from behind.

"It's not over yet."

"Four Directions Wind Killing Array!"

This is the Jia Lie family's most powerful ultimate technique, classified as Black Rank Mid Level!

Four sharp whirlwinds formed by blades converged from the front, back, left, and right to besiege Yun Tianming!

"Now, let's see where you can hide!"

A murderous intent filled Jia Lie Bi's face, outlining a sly smile. However, in the next second, his smile froze.

Yun Tianming's body, as if fitted with rockets under his feet, swiftly soared into the air, effortlessly evading the attack range of the Four Directions Wind Killing Array.

"Bursting Void Steps!"

A Black Rank High-Level footwork Dou Technique, utilizing the instantaneous burst of Dou Qi energy underfoot for rapid movement, and even briefly gaining the ability to hover.

"Even if the attack is formidable, it's meaningless if it doesn't hit."

!

Yun Tianming treaded through the air, executing several consecutive mid-air leaps. Suddenly, he accelerated underfoot, transforming into a falling meteor and fiercely crashing toward Jia Lie Bi on the ground.

"This peculiar footwork."

Jia Lie Bi's pupils contracted, hastily raising the large knife in his hand to block.

When Yun Tianming attacked, he also utilized the explosive thrust of Bursting Void Steps. The destructive power of this strike was beyond imagination.

"Boom!"

Jia Lie Bi endured the tremendous impact, his body sent flying several zhang away. Fortunately, with the protection of Dou Qi Armor, most of the damage was absorbed.

"Crack~"

More cracks appeared on the Dou Qi Armor. In the midst of his shock, Jia Lie Bi feigned a cold, ruthless expression, "Is this your limit? To be able to push me to this extent, you're truly an outstanding genius. But do you know, geniuses can easily fall!"

"Old Bi, your nonsense is truly too much!"

Yun Tianming formed a seal with one hand, and the dark green Dou Qi instantly enveloped the staff, sprouting numerous sharp wooden thorns.

"Ding ding ding ding~"

The wooden thorns struck the Dou Qi Armor, making a clinking sound but failed to break through Jia Lie Bi's Defensive.

"You accuse me of talking too much, but your arrogance is grand while your strength is not that impressive, huh?!"

Jia Lie Bi was about to mock his opponent when he suddenly felt a piercing pain throughout his body.

Looking down, he saw that the wooden thorns, at some point, had penetrated through the cracks in the Dou Qi Armor and fiercely stabbed into Jia Lie Bi's body.

"Deep Forest Assassination!"

A Black Rank High-Level Dou Technique, with a continuous infusion of Dou Qi, can endlessly grow numerous thorny wooden spikes. While the individual damage is not high, it possesses an attribute of penetration. Combined with Yun Tianming's powerful Soul Perception, he keenly locked onto the weaknesses in the cracks of Jia Lie Bi's Dou Qi Armor.

"Pu pu pu pu!"

Jia Lie Bi's entire body was covered with densely packed wooden thorns, piercing through flesh and leaving him heavily injured. After suffering a severe blow, the Dou Qi Armor couldn't maintain itself and dissipated. Yun Tianming didn't let this decisive opportunity slip away. With a leap using Bursting Void Steps, he shot up into the air, then, springing off the void, transformed once again into a meteor, colliding with Jia Lie Bi.

"Boom!"

Unable to gather Dou Qi Armor after the heavy damage, Jia Lie Bi weakly raised his knife for a block, only to have the weapon knocked away by a powerful strike. Yun Tianming raised the Mountain-crushing Staff high, preparing to unleash a second attack.

"Don't underestimate the strength of a Dou Grandmaster!"

Witnessing this, Jia Lie Bi unleashed Wind Attribute Dou Qi furiously, gathering it in his hands to form a violent vortex. Joining his hands together, he created a powerful wind shield, cleverly utilizing the reactive force to send Yun Tianming's weapon flying.

"Now, go to hell!"

Jia Lie Bi's eyes glinted with ferocity. Seizing the opportune moment for a counterattack, he retrieved a concealed dagger from his sleeve, infused it with Wind Attribute Dou Qi, greatly enhancing its cutting power, and thrust it towards Yun Tianming's heart at close range.

"Dark Wind Blade!"

This strike was Jia Lie Bi's full-powered attack. With the combination of its incredible speed and the extremely short distance, even a Dou Spirit powerhouse might struggle to completely evade it.

Yun Tianming's Soul Perception could predict the opponent's attack path, but his body couldn't keep up with the reaction speed. In a brief moment, using Bursting Void Steps, he could only slightly alter his body's position.

"Puchi!"

Blood sprayed.

Jia Lie Bi's dagger plunged completely into Yun Tianming's chest!

"Tianming Senior!!!"

Nalan Yanran let out a terrified scream.
