Chapter 52: Defeat

While Demonic Sand was unleashing his extremely vicious Blood Core Eruption and going all out, another seething aura that didn't lose out to Demonic Sand's started to rise from Li Pin.

Blood Core Eruption! Li Pin had chosen to use Blood Core Eruption as well!

This was his strongest state!

However, the Core Force martial artist didn't falter when he saw this, on the contrary, his eyes lit up.

"The Blood Core Eruption state cannot be sustained for too long, just like secret arts. As long as we can tide over the period of his eruption, he will lose the battle without us doing much."

His gaze instantly turned to Demonic Sand, but he noticed that the Core Formation expert didn't seem like he was planning to switch up his plan to wear out Li Pin to his death.

The two martial artists clashed, and fist forces met.

The battle was extremely intense.

When two adversaries met on a narrow path, the most valiant would emerge victorious.

A life-or-death battle at the Core Formation level wasn't just a competition between vitality, but also between the spirit. It was about who was the most fearless! If one side cowered and faltered and had their will weakened, what awaited them was eternal damnation!

"Kill!"

Amidst the flying sand and dust, Demonic Sand seemed to have turned into a killing god on the battlefield. He kept on clashing fiercely with Li Pin's fist force with a fierce disposition that could break through hundreds or thousands of enemies.

In the instant when the duo's fist forces clashed, the power of their qi and blood under the state of Blood Core Eruption was like an opened dam—majestic, seething, and ready to explode.

If fist force of this level were to land on walls or ordinary stones, it'd definitely shatter them. Their punches would be able to heavily dent even car doors or steel walls.

In a battle of this magnitude, Li Pin's Blood Core frantically circulated.

This is the first time he erupted his Blood Core force to this extent. Under his circulation, the power of his qi and blood was like a tsunami, bringing with it a prowess that seemed to want to destroy everything in its path. The powers gathered in Li Pin's fist force as he performed his fist art, sending the powers out continuously.

Hundun! Qiongqi! Taotie! Taowu! Tengshe! Liuxiang! Chilong! Bifang!

Blood Core Eruption!

This was supposed to be a power that surpassed martial artists' limits, and under its extreme effect, Li Pin and Demonic Sand would be pushed to their utmost limits in terms of stamina. This was especially true when their Forces clashed. Violent Core Force would even turn from overt to covert, smashing into the opponent's body, causing their muscles and bones to seethe.

Buzz!

The impact of this Force caused Li Pin's muscles and bones to buzz. Every inch of his muscle, every single bone, and every tendon seemed to move at the same time!

Force that was smashed into his body mostly penetrated through his body under his guidance, running through his vertebrae, femur, calf bone, and tibia, then flowing into the ground. However, the feeling from the impact still made him sense clearly that his entire body was lively and cheering.

Li Pin couldn't help but let out a loud bellow, "Great fist art!"

Most of the Force he received was guided into the ground, but the extremely great pain and burden from the Force running through his vertebrae, femur, calf bone, and tibia still gave him an exhilarating feeling.

The intensely seething qi and blood of his opponent made him increasingly feel the seething of his own blood! His entire being seemed to come alive, cheering, composing life's greatest music piece.

And the name of this piece was...Evolution.

Li Pin went with the flow. "Again!"

As his blood seethed, the power of his qi and blood escalated to a new height.

Secret Art—Blood-Seething!

As Li Pin performed this secret art, it was as if he used his vitality as the firewood and his beliefs as the firestarter. With his blazing battle will, he ignited all of the qi and blood in his body.

His qi and blood scaled to a brand-new peak, regardless of whether it was in terms of activity or explosiveness.

He was in his strongest form.

Battle will seethed!

Blood Core Eruption!

Secret Art—Blood-Seething!

Even Li Pin himself was stunned at how powerful he was when he stacked those three together.

He could sense very clearly that humans were actually capable of evolving to this degree. It was to the extent that even his physical body had some issues withstanding the burden. However, this burden was exactly what Li Pin was seeking—life evolution!

Only by breaking through conventional ideas can one be exposed to an even wider view! Repeatedly breaking through one's limitations, repeatedly surpassing one's limits. This was the apex of profoundness in cultivation and the greatest desire in life!

"

Hahaha!

"

Li Pin let out an exhilarating laughter. His mind was clear, and his body began to form a strange resonance.

This resonance... was the resonance of the five organs?!

This was really... a great surprise!

He didn't expect that he'd get such a pleasant surprise after unleashing his strongest form!

What did limitations even mean?

This was what it meant to surpass his limitations!

Li Pin let out a long bellow to release his emotions.

All of his vitality seemed to have scaled to a realm that surpassed the restraints of the physical body. He seemed to be an onlooker and could clearly "see" the resonance of the five organs that were taking place within his body. The power of his internal organs and external qi and blood combined into one. The fist force he struck out was like a sharp divine sword that pierced through the dark night, unleashing freely.

Rumble!

White waves exploded.

The fist force broke the sound barrier, tearing through the atmosphere and forming white waves that rippled out explosively.

The sound was like a clap of loud thunder.

The thunderous boom caused Demonic Sand, who had been through many battles, to shiver down to his very soul.

Demonic Sand let out a horrific cry, "Five Elements Unity!"

He recognized this! This was Wang Daoyi's strongest killing move, Five Elements Unity! The Five Elements Unity's prowess was comparable even to Aura Force!

Moreover, the Five Elements Unity that Wang Daoyi struck out only gave off a stifled sound. On the other hand, Li Pin's punch... it formed a great explosion!

It was like a shocking thunder in spring. It hit straight into one's heart and soul.

Didn't they say that Li Pin had only managed to kill Wang Daoyi because he took advantage of the fact he was already badly injured?!

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Didn't they say that it hadn't been two months since Li Pin condensed his qi to form a Core?

Didn't they say that Li Pin didn't receive much guidance from the Aura Cultivating Grandmaster Cao Tianyou?

To think that the supporting members suggested that they lay hands on someone who was strong enough to strike out Aura Force to intimidate the Five Elements Sect!

Are you guys planning to target a lion to threaten leopards and wolves!?

The idea itself wasn't bad, but to him, the person who carried out the plan, it was a deadly trap!

"Last-Ditch!"

In the moment of life and death, Demonic Sand couldn't even think about scolding the supporting members for being foolish and incompetent. The only thing he could do was to channel in all of his qi and blood to strike out his strongest attack.

With the belief of seeking life amidst a death-threatening situation, giving it his all to turn the tide, he moved ahead!

Boom!

Two Core Formation experts performed their strongest attacks and clashed in the small alley, which was a relatively concealed environment.

Suddenly, it was as if a missile had exploded in the air.

A shockwave visible to the naked eye scattered out in all directions after the two gushes of force collided.

Crack!

A glass window on a small three-story building not far away instantly shattered from the shockwaves.

Ahhh!

Demonic Sand let out an agonizing and despairing bellow.

In the end, he was unable to achieve the great feat of turning the tables on Li Pin.

His arm felt as if it had been struck fiercely by a 500-kilogram metal hammer. The horrifying Force penetrated through his arm and immediately broke his radius, ulna, humerus, and scapula bones. The Force then continued to push on through to penetrate his body, blasting his insides, shattering his internal organs, and rampaging through to his legs to shatter his femur, patella, fibula, tibia, and phalanges bones.

Everything was crushed.

The one hit from the Five Elements Unity almost crushed every bone in his body!

This top-notch expert was proud of his fist art and rarely met his match amongst those in the Core Formation phase. Even though he knew that Li Pin had managed to kill Wang Daoyi, he still looked down on Li Pin without hesitation, planning to cripple and capture him to threaten the Five Elements Sect.

However, when faced against Li Pin, who was in his strongest form, using both the Blood-Seething secret art and the Five Elements Body-Refining Art, he was clearly weaker.

In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat! And the price for his defeat was...

His very own life!
