Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 171 - 151: Dire Peril at One’s Side, Demon Cultivator Yuan Meng

"Real skill?"

Man Tian Sheng laughed heartily, dismissively saying:

"Then let me see how much you've really got!"

As soon as the words fell:

"Crack, crack, crack..."

All over Man Tian Sheng's body, came a cracking sound of bones, white light surged like ocean waves, and his large and strong frame increased in size by nearly half.

His body became about ten feet tall, exhibiting a bronze-like metallic sheen, with muscles sharply defined like those formed from metal, and his eyes turned dark gold.

"Boom!"

Transformed into a bronze-colored small giant, Man Tian Sheng took a step, causing the surrounding hundred feet of ruins to tremble.

"Come, show me your skills!"

He spoke in a rumbling voice, incredibly deep, yet spreading waves of dark ripples, while his fists clashing sounded like metal striking metal.

"Well done!"

Zhang Yao shouted, raising his hand to cast a spell.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Nearby, the two Golden Armored Divine Generals, knocked to the ground, instantly collapsed and reformed into golden mist, rapidly converging toward Zhang Yao.

In a flash, the golden mist churned, pale golden lines formed, magically transforming into a magnificent armor glowing with golden light and a nine-foot-long golden halberd. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

This was one of the marvels of the Golden Armor Divine Talisman, a trump card Zhang Yao could deploy after years of intensive study in Yellow Talisman Daoist Skill!

"Clang, clang..."

Zhang Yao donned the golden armor, wielding the golden halberd, stepping forward one step at a time, increasing his intimidating presence.

"Hahaha!"

Man Tian Sheng was initially taken aback, then burst out laughing:

"I thought it was some great technique... turns out it's the Simulation Armor Technique from the Yellow Talisman Daoist Skill."

"You think with the Yellow Talisman Armor's aid, you can fight me head-to-head? Daydreaming!"

Before the words finished, he charged violently, radiating blinding white light like a charging rhinoceros or elephant:

"Let me show you today what real body cultivation is!"

Faced with such astounding might, Zhang Yao met it head-on, gathering all his strength, swinging the golden halberd furiously downward:

"Die!"

"The one who should die is you!"

Man Tian Sheng roared, launching a punch, white light coating his fist like an invisible armor, his punch force like a falling mountain.

In the next instant, the golden halberd clashed violently with Man Tian Sheng's iron fist.

"Boom!"

At the collision point, it was like a hundred barrels of black gunpowder exploded simultaneously, terrifying shockwaves flooding out, instantly vaporizing vast streams.

"Rumble..."

Immediately followed by further power release, waves rapidly emanating, causing water to roar and crash, raising layers of surging waves.

Such astounding momentum caused other battle groups to take notice, even affecting them to some extent.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Zhang Yao groaned, retreating three steps, the hard green jade bricks beneath shattering, barely dispersing the force.

In contrast, Man Tian Sheng also retreated several steps, blood slightly trickling from his mouth.

"How... is this possible?!"

He stood dumbfounded, raising his fist incredulously, staring at the deep wound, blood flowing golden, feeling dizzy as if in a dream.

The Hundred Refinements Treasure Body, invulnerable to even spiritual artifacts, had actually suffered in a head-on clash?

Of course, he didn't know:

Zhang Yao had the 'Vajra Mora Secret Spell Array' and 'Celestial Profound Bright Jade Array' strengthening him inside and out, his body as sturdy as steel, not inferior to any body cultivator of the same level.

With the additional boon of the Yellow Talisman Armor, his body's capabilities, surrounding magical power, and external apparatus merged into one, leaving no weaknesses in attack, defense, speed, or explosiveness!

"Seems your body refinement is still lacking."

Zhang Yao's voice, filled with coldness, came from behind the majestic golden face mask:

"Today will be the day you die!"

As soon as the words finished, Zhang Yao swung the golden halberd again, charging forward.

"To hell with you!"

Man Tian Sheng roared, eyes glinting with savagery, leaping toward Zhang Yao like a frenzied beast:

"I don't buy this!!"

"I've toiled on the Path of Body Refining for over a century, endured countless hardships, and yet can't best a Qi Refining practitioner like you?"

In an instant:

"Boom!" "Bang!" "Thud!"...

The two clashed fiercely for seven or eight rounds, giant booms rang out, like two colossal steel beings colliding violently.

Zhang Yao's martial techniques had reached an exceptional level, mastering all forms of martial arts, wielding the halberd with the grace of a dragon, moving dazzlingly.

And Man Tian Sheng, as a body cultivator, was highly skilled in combat techniques, relying on his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body and Fist Technique to meet Zhang Yao head-on without falling behind.

But anyone could see: Zhang Yao, with the armor's blessing, had virtually no weak spots, and no matter how much Man Tian Sheng tried, he couldn't inflict harm.

In contrast, Man Tian Sheng, after merely a dozen moments of exchange, was already slashed by the golden halberd seven or eight times, blood spraying, though healing rapidly, it was clear he was losing.

If it continued like this, Zhang Yao was bound to win, and Man Tian Sheng's defeat was only a matter of time.

"It's settled!"

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu is sure to win!"

The numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Haihe Association, having observed this scene amid the heated battle, felt their morale soar, attacking even more fiercely.

During this fierce battle, both Zhang Yao and Man Tian Sheng's strengths were evident to all, and once their duel concluded, whoever joined the scene would bring an almost overwhelming advantage!
