Chapter 441: Externalized Power

Li An threw punches while thinking.His overthinking gave Yu Jingnian a chance to catch his breath.Moreover, the two had unknowingly fought for a considerable distance, some distance from the sculpture.As soon as Yu Jingnian had recovered his breath, he immediately set his sights on the sculpture!The Heaven-Flipping Seal was ready.Shrink the Earth to an Inch!Yu Jingnian passed under Li An's armpit and sprinted towards the sculpture.At this moment, Li An still closed his eyes, thinking.Yu Jingnian had already passed him by a body length.He felt a surge of excitement.Although he didn't know what Li An was thinking,Now, facing his own ability to shrink the earth to an inch, it was too late for him to turn around and pull him back!But at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a smile play on Li An's lips.Li An quickly turned around.This move allowed Yu Jingnian to gain another two body lengths of distance!It's too late!He mustered all his strength and charged forward!But the next second!He clearly felt a force about to strike his forehead.Right beside him.Right in front of him.Invisible, intangible.Li An's hand wasn't there.But there it was!Appearing out of nowhere!The force, like a palm, slammed into Yu Jingnian's chest, knocking him back and back in front of Li An!Li An didn't breathe, his fists lashing out like a torrential downpour!"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."He felt like he was beating a drum!Yu Jingnian's features contorted in pain. He tried to flee, but what he encountered was too bizarre!Li An's fists didn't even touch him!Yet, his force had struck him!Moreover, this force sometimes felt like a rushing stream, sometimes like a piercing sword, and sometimes like a giant spring, bouncing directly against his forehead.If he took two steps forward, the force would be pulled back by him.An outrageous thing happened.Li An was one meter away from Yu Jingnian.He punched through the air.Yu Jingnian took the blow from a distance!Above the heavens.The shadow of the Heavenly Dao Tree was filled with astonishment.The form of a martial god!?Struggling through the air!This was clearly the unique skill of the ancient martial gods, said to require an astonishing level of understanding to master.Even the Heavenly Dao Tree had only seen a handful of such monsters!With this ability, one's punches and kicks would be equivalent to long weapons.You could even say how long they could be, depending on the strength of your own body!But there was one thing that set Li An apart from those ancient martial gods!He possessed martial spirit!Endless, mountain-like martial energy!Strands of golden-red fire emerged, swirling around Yu Jingnian.That was the trajectory of Li An's force.He superimposed martial energy on his force.The martial energy converged, penetrated, and poured into Yu Jingnian's body!All nine energy channels were activated in a single second!Is that difficult?!?"Da da da da da da!!!"Li An's fists flew like pear blossoms in a rainstorm!Yu Jingnian's nine energy channels were instantly blocked!His face was filled with panic.Then, Li An charged forward, elbowing him squarely in the head!"Bang!"A resounding sound echoed through Yu Jingnian's head!And he didn't fly backwards as usual.Despite such a powerful force, he didn't fall backward.It wasn't because his inertia had vanished.Rather, Li An had pulled him back with force!This was a killing technique, wasn't it?Without giving the opponent even a moment to breathe, he struck out, then pulled back. At this point, the enemy was nothing more than a punching bag.He even decided when this punching bag would return!What was Li An?A boxing practitioner!No one in the world could hit a punching bag better than him!Li An unleashed punch after punch.It was as if he were back in the dark basement of Daoshi City.But now, he wasn't hitting those sandbags weighing hundreds or even thousands of pounds.He was hitting the most powerful geniuses of the generation!The shadow of the Heavenly Dao Tree looked at the scene below with a complex expression.He wasn't human.Not even an immortal.But he once asked the Tyrant a question."Whether human or immortal, our lives are short-lived. Sooner or later, they will be swallowed by time. Since the end is already determined, what is the meaning of your lives?"The Tyrant replied with a single sentence: "A breath of life."A breath?What is that? The remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tree tried to understand, asking, "Is it the energy of the nine meridians? As long as this energy remains, life is guaranteed; when it's lost, death is inevitable, right?"The Tyrant replied, "That energy, but it's more than just that energy."Back then, he couldn't grasp the meaning of this statement.But now, he saw that feeling in Li An.One breath!A long and powerful energy!Amidst the torrential rain.Like a dense, golden-red thread of fire, like a long snake, entwined Yu Jingnian's body!Li An's punches were like gusts of wind, each one more powerful than the last, fueled by fluid and concussive forces.Yu Jingnian attempted to escape using the Golden Cicada Escape Technique.But when his fists impacted his meridians and spiritual palace, his spell was naturally interrupted!Finally, Yu Jingnian could hold back no longer.The outline of a Dao Fruit appeared on his chest.Li An followed suit, releasing the Dao Fruit!The fist surged with energy, soaring into the sky, vaporizing the torrential rain!The final punch!"BOOM!"The roar of thunder above the dark clouds was drowned out by this resounding roar!The most outrageous thing was...Li An still had a third of his strength left!Yu Jingnian didn't fly away.He was pulled back again!His body was shattered, like a shattered sculpture.Pain filled his face, his features contorted.Li An took a deep breath and delivered one last punch!"BANG!"The shattered body was finally shattered by Li An!In the Immortal King Palace, Yu Jingnian's expression finally darkened.But it wasn't because Yu Jingnian had fallen.It was because he realized he couldn't defeat Li An.The power within Yu Jingnian was too complex, and he struggled to use it. It was like a newly purchased game account, still unsure of its various attributes and with only a few real-life combat experiences, he had no idea how to use it. But these were all excuses.After all, he had occupied Ri Lingze's body, comprehended countless immortal techniques, and his understanding of immortal energy had reached an astonishing level.But after Li An severed Yu Jingnian's acupoints, he truly didn't know what to do.Or perhaps he was too lazy to think.Because...There was no way Li An could kill Yu Jingnian!Under the torrential rain.Li An stared intently ahead, taking deep, forceful breaths.Above, the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tree frowned.Evil thoughts, evil thoughts.As expected of the most vigorous being in the universe.How difficult to deal with.Yu Jingnian's body exploded.Logically, he should have died!But then, a wisp of evil thought flew out of his body.Evil thoughts have no physical form, no energy channels.The inky black evil thought floated in the air.The black mist enveloped Yu Jingnian's Dao Fruit!Li An took a final deep breath, then charged forward and swung his fist once more!"Bang!"The dark spirit was sent flying.Li An attempted to grab it back.But this time, the externalized power he had just grasped failed.Because the other party had no physical form, he couldn't grab it!
