Chapter 243: Xiao Yan: Wait and See! Let You Experience the Power of Domain Crushing!
Boom!
In the valley where the desert meets the mountains, a young man in black, enveloped in green flames, was kicked into the forest. The heavy mysterious heavy ruler in his hand spun in the air for a few rounds before steadily landing in a strong arm.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Jiang Lin casually waved the mysterious heavy ruler a few times in the air, the thick ruler edge creating a series of tearing sounds in the air. Then, he casually tossed it towards the distant forest filled with dust.
Buzz!
A powerful green flame surged from the dust, and Xiao Yan's six-star Dou Shi aura rapidly increased, quickly reaching the Great Dou Shi realm!
Seeing the mysterious heavy ruler coming towards him, Xiao Yan, in the green flame, raised his hand to catch it. But suddenly, he felt his palm tingle, and his body involuntarily twisted backward a few times before finally catching the heavy mysterious ruler. However, as he twisted his body to absorb the force, Xiao Yan stepped out with a strange footwork, transforming the momentum into an impact and covering the mysterious heavy ruler with green flames, accelerating it, and charging toward Jiang Lin in the distance!
Earth-level Dou Technique: Flame Splitting Crushing Ruler!
The terrifying heavenly and earthly energy around Xiao Yan gathered towards the mysterious heavy ruler in his hand, forming a green sea of flames, which was powerfully slapped towards Jiang Lin!
However!
Boom!
In the terrifying green sea of flames formed by the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire that Xiao Yan used, a faint four-color light curtain appeared around Jiang Lin's body. He took a step forward, and with an incredibly accurate motion, he reached out with his hand, covered in crimson golden Dou Qi and fist armor, and grabbed the mysterious heavy ruler in the green flame. The tremendous force instantly caused the ground beneath Jiang Lin to sink and emitted a muffled sound!
However, Jiang Lin's arm didn't budge. With his physical strength, he endured Xiao Yan's Flame Splitting Crushing Ruler!
At the moment of contact, the green flames on the mysterious heavy ruler surged, trying to burn Jiang Lin's arm. However, after a month of adapting to the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, Jiang Lin not only had resistance to it, but he also refined a new treasure that countered it!
The Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire attempted to cling to Jiang Lin's arm, but the faint four-color light on his arm acted like an oil-repellent layer. Every time the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire tried to burn his arm, it inexplicably lost its burning point and extinguished, or was simply deflected away!
Boom!
After a slight numbness in his arm, Jiang Lin immediately regained his strength and smashed the mysterious heavy ruler towards a nearby mountain wall!
Boom! Xiao Yan was directly slammed into the mountain wall, paused for a moment, and then slowly slid down.
"Cough, cough! No, no! I can't even land a hit!" Xiao Yan quickly waved his hand at Jiang Lin from the ground. Jiang Lin's foundation was too solid, and while he usually overpowers others across realms, Xiao Yan trying to cross realms to fight Jiang Lin was a foolish thought.
"With the burst of the crystal core and the power of the strange fire, I can handle a Great Dou Master, but Brother Lin, your fighting strength is not even in the Great Dou Master range. I can't land a single hit! In close combat, every move will be seen through by you. Any feints won't fool you. How my muscles change, how my Dou Qi moves—it's all clear to you. I can't land any punches in close combat!"
Xiao Yan patted the dust off his body, then grumbled at Jiang Lin, who was holding the mysterious heavy ruler. Luckily, the recent attack didn't cause much harm to him, and his body had been refined by Jiang Lin to be at the same cultivation level as his Dou Qi, reaching Dou Shi. Paired with his six-star Dou Shi Dou Qi armor, Xiao Yan could still withstand a few punches from Jiang Lin using Eight Extremes Crush.
Xiao Yan's battle awareness was actually quite strong. He could perform all sorts of feints on Jiang Lin, but they were all useless. He could absorb the experience of his battle failures, but in front of Jiang Lin, it was still ineffective. In close combat, Jiang Lin was always under a "see-through" buff, which meant his attacks were utterly unstoppable, and Xiao Yan's attacks were ineffective.
Now, Jiang Lin's Dou Qi realm was at the late-stage three-star Great Dou Master. With the abundant strange fire energy, Jiang Lin's Dou Qi cultivation had rapidly grown, though Xiao Yan's growth was even faster. He increased by two stars in a month, while Jiang Lin only increased by a little more than one.
If Xiao Yan were to rely solely on his own absorption of strange fire energy, he might only increase by one level per month. But with Jiang Lin's existence, he indirectly helped him absorb strange fire energy, significantly increasing his cultivation speed.
At the three-star Great Dou Master level, Jiang Lin could easily crush Xiao Yan, whose explosive growth had been forced to reach the Great Dou Master realm with crystal core Dou Qi. If Jiang Lin didn't hold back, just a few punches could send Xiao Yan into the "Ghost Fire Master and Apprentice" bond with Yao Chen.
"I regret it now. Why did Master sell me the Eight Extremes Crush so cheaply back then?" Xiao Yan showed a helpless expression as he looked at Jiang Lin, who was casually stabbing the mysterious heavy ruler into the ground. A deep feeling of powerlessness rose within him.
Because of Jiang Lin's terrifying power, his hit accuracy in close combat was almost 100%!
Imagine, a lightweight boxer, trying to fight a two-meter tall, muscular powerhouse with a body like a giant, using speed or high-level techniques to evade and counter a few punches. It might work, right?
But the reality is that the giant loves to grab people! And his hit accuracy is almost 100%—if you dare to close in, he will grab you! Whether it's your hand or your leg, once he grabs you, you're done!
Many people think that body cultivator combat is just about pounding someone away with punches to show their power and physique, but no, Xiao Yan experienced Jiang Lin's hopeless close combat style. Getting punched away? If you're lucky, maybe you can laugh it off! Xiao Yan tried challenging Jiang Lin without the mysterious heavy ruler, but Jiang Lin saw through his movements and suddenly burst forward, landing a decisive blow to his small resistance hand and then slamming his head down.
Boom! A terrifying force arrived, and Xiao Yan instantly felt his head being pressed into the ground by an irresistible force. The next moment, a fist larger than a sandbag smashed next to his ear, and the ground below his ear instantly shattered!
Since then, Xiao Yan never dared to challenge Jiang Lin bare-handed again. It was... too terrifying!
"To defeat and humiliate Brother Lin, I'll have to wait until I crush him with realm power." Understanding some of the potential problems in Jiang Lin's cultivation, Xiao Yan could only silently encourage himself.
