Chapter 140: Joined Forces (II)

Too weak, Chen Yiming muttered.

At the same time, he slashed out with his sword, showing them some basic respect.

His thick and vast internal force turned into a sphere. The sphere expanded continuously, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than 20 meters wide.

This was the effect of his Level-1 Undying Body talent on the enhancement of his internal force. With the combined enhancement of various factors such as strength, range, and speed, it was clearly more powerful than the joined internal forces of the three peak masters.

Rumble

The three streams of internal force collided with the strength-based internal force.

The cutting force emitted by the spinning wheel was forcefully repelled. Then, the spinning wheel appeared to be caught in an indestructible wall and dissipated into the air after losing its spinning force.

The purple flames fared worse. It could not burn through the barrier formed by the sphere and was instantly pushed away. A sea of purple flames headed back towards the three of them.

The thunderbird's performance was about the same. Although it was the fastest, its beak, which was like the tip of a sword, pierced the surface of the sphere then instantly shattered, causing the thunderbird to disintegrate.

The three combined internal forces were destroyed upon the first contact, and could not even put up a stalemate. From the outside, only the sphere could still be seen, and it was continuously expanding.

Oh no! the expressions of the three changed simultaneously as they shouted.

Facing the sphere that was constantly expanding in all directions and the purple flames that were being forced back, the three of them did not care about maintaining the encirclement and retreated dozens of meters to avoid the danger.

Gasp!

Each of the elders who were watching from the side of the cave drew in a breath of cold air.

The combined strength of the three peak masters is actually not a match for him. Could this masked man be at the third stage of the warrior realm like the sect master? an elder screamed.

The other elders also had strange expressions on their faces. Some were so frightened that they were speechless, some had blank expressions, and some were cursing in exasperation.

When the disciples in the cave saw the changes in the elders, they felt like their hearts were about to stop beating.

The Blue Cloud Sword Sect was a large sect with a leader in the third stage of the warrior realm. It had always given its disciples a sense of security as wide as the sea. However, at this moment, some cracks seemed to have appeared.

In front of the mountain gate, after the dust settled, the masked man was revealed to be unharmed.

With the masked man as the center, a large circle with a diameter of more than 20 meters had appeared.

On the mountain gate, there was a plaque with the words Blue Cloud Sword Sect written in gold. As the stone wall had been sent flying who knows where during the fight, the entire mountain gate was now flattened.

Huang Lieyan, Gong Shangqin, and Liang Xishan stood side by side, their mouths agape.

When they received the news from the elder at the library, the three of them were gathered together to discuss the talent of this batch of newcomers.

With Li Kun as an example, Huang Lieyan and Liang Xishan were both looking for a disciple with outstanding talent.

Originally, they had thought that just one peak master at the second stage of the warrior realm was needed to hold him back. The other two peak masters had only followed out of curiosity.

However, the situation had developed beyond their expectations. Not only were the three of them unable to defeat their opponent, but they were also completely at a disadvantage.

Who exactly are you? Liang Xishan no longer dared to underestimate the masked man and asked solemnly.

With your strength, is it fun to tease us? Gong Shangqin said with an ugly expression.

It's just a manual for a sword technique at the ordinary warrior realm. Why don't we sit down and talk it out? Huang Lieyan was the last to speak, trying to sound out the masked man's intentions.

Of the three of them, two of them were playing the bad cop while the last one was playing the good cop. Since their sect master was at the third stage of the warrior realm, they were not too worried.

Chen Yiming glanced into the depths of the mountains of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect and realized that what he had done was not enough to force the sect master at the third stage of the warrior realm to appear.

His feet moved, and a shock wave exploded. He soared into the sky and leaped 100 meters into the air.

Die! A sword shadow slashed out.

The strength-based internal force transformed into a meteor under the moonlight. The meteor had a diameter of more than 20 meters and smashed straight towards where the three people were gathered together.

The meteorite faced a great amount of air resistance but displaced the air in its way. A white barrier formed on the surface of the meteorite, and a burning tail formed by the friction followed it.

Should we face it or avoid it? Gong Shangqin asked.

This is the Blue Cloud Sword Sect. Huang Lieyan sighed.

We're going all out. Use your secret technique, Liang Xishan said in a low voice.

The three of them looked at each other and instantly reached a consensus. They knew that they could not hold back at all.

The masked man seemed to be in his twenties, but he was making the three middle-aged people in their forties or fifties feel as though they were facing a formidable enemy. They were forced to use their secret techniques.

Secret techniques, whether they were spiritual or physical, would harm one's body once they were used. In serious cases, it would affect one's foundation and cause one's progress along the path of martial arts to stop.

Dream on! the three of them shouted at the same time.

Immediately after, the three of them instantly became a few times larger. Those who were two meters in height became two and a half meters tall, and those who were two and a half meters tall reached three meters in height.

This was a body-based secret technique that temporarily squeezed out energy from the blood cells. The temporary energy carried a trace of life force and could increase the strength of one's internal force.

The spinning wheel, purple flames, and thunderbird slashed out at the same time.

This time, the three of them did not dare to take any chances. The three internal forces left their bodies and instantly fused together.

In the next moment, the three internal forces representing cutting, burning, and speed combined into one, turning into a thunderbird with a wingspan of more than 20 meters.

At this moment, the thunderbird's size had finally reached the same level as the meteorite. A dark purple gas that resembled both lightning and fire flowed on its body, and it carried a spinning wheel in its beak.

The spinning wheel not only provided a powerful cutting force, but also increased the speed of the thunderbird by one level.

They really fused together. Chen Yiming's eyes lit up.

Under the sect master of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, there were three peaks each with a peak master. The cultivation techniques of the three peaks were definitely closely related to the sect master.

The fusion of internal forces of different attributes was definitely an important factor in the third stage of the warrior realm. The direction for the next stage of cultivation was right in front of him.

Rumble

The powerful cutting force accompanied by a sharp piercing force attacked the surface of the meteorite. The high temperature of the purple flames and lightning continued to break down the structural integrity of the meteorite.

However, the meteorite formed by Chen Yiming's strength-based internal force was naturally tough and had the ability to restore itself.

Even though its surface could be broken through in an instant, a huge amount of strength-based internal force would soon fill up the hole.

In the end, amidst the continuous cycle of destruction and repair, a blinding light exploded in midair, and the meteorite and the thunderbird dissipated at the same time.

What!

Huang Lieyan, Gong Shangqin, and Liang Xishan were in disbelief. The elders guarding the disciples by the cave were also in disbelief.

The elders did not know that the three peak masters had even used their secret techniques, but they could not imagine that the joined three-in-one internal force could only achieve the result of a tie with the masked man.

In their hearts, the combined strength of the three peak masters was comparable to the sect master personally taking action for a short period of time.

At this time, Huang Lieyan, Gong Shangqin, and Liang Xishan each spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

This was a side effect of using the secret technique. Because the strength of each blood cell was different, the relatively weak blood cells could not withstand the pressure from the technique and melted into the blood.

This is impossible!

The pride in their hearts shattered like a piece of glass.

They could not understand how the masked man's internal force, which only had one attribute, could match their combined internal force.

It had to be known that their joined internal force was a weaker version of the internal force from the third stage of the warrior realm. They had also used a secret technique to increase its power.

It's a draw! Chen Yiming was just as shocked as his opponents.

He had thought that even if his opponents' internal forces would be able to temporarily withstand his strength-based internal force that was enhanced by the Level-1 Undying Body talent, he would still win in the end.

It was clear that the fusion of internal forces was not a simple additive effect, but a qualitative improvement. It was comparable to the qualitative change caused by his special talent.

After landing on the ground, Chen Yiming walked towards the exhausted trio.

Not putting up any more resistance?

Have you already used all your trump cards?

Is your sect master not around?

Hearing the three consecutive questions from the masked man, the three of them watched helplessly as their opponent slowly approached step by step. Their pupils constricted as an invisible pressure appeared in their hearts.

With the enhancement from the secret technique, although the three of them were not powerless to resist, the three-in-one internal force was only able to tie with their opponent. If they continued to resist, they might die even earlier.

In their despair, the three of them subconsciously turned to look into the depths of the mountain.

They kept praying in their hearts that it was not the critical moment of their sect's master breakthrough such that he was unable to come to their aid.
