Chapter 216: Battle
Everything was calm, there was no cursing or questioning, not even the rhythm of breathing had changed… Yang Sheng rushed towards me, and I rushed towards him.
Is this the final battle? I can’t imagine what would stop Yang Sheng if I failed.
“Dong dong dong,” footsteps on the snow-covered mountain top… flying snow and mud… the howling north wind, the flakes of snow are about to blind people’s vision…
The first step, breaking through the seven orifices…
The second step, the sky and earth are filled with energy… an invisible force surrounds me…
The third step, I can be even more crazy… break it open, continue… my body makes a popping sound, and the acupuncture points are opened in a continuous sequence at an astonishing speed…
The fourth step, the river of fate surrounding Yang Sheng surges towards me… The power of the world and sky around me also surges towards Yang Sheng… The two sides collide, emitting a huge roar… As if such power is already taboo, a flash of lightning shines in the middle of the collision…
The fifth step, my body seems to have reached its limit, but it is not enough… not enough, the acupoints continue to be opened at an alarming rate… I feel the tingling of my skin, countless blood vessels burst… the blood instantly stains the white robe red…
“Chen Chengyi, you can’t beat me! You’re doomed to fail at this point! Don’t you understand that my power is the power of the gods in your eyes?” Yang Sheng roared at me, and once again, the blue river of fate beside him formed a huge palm, which pounced on me fiercely.
“Rough.” I just responded with a sentence… The world around me turned into countless flashes of lightning and thunder, rushing towards the blue hand.
What is the power of heaven and earth? It is the five elements, it is yin and yang… it is the power of any form, so any spell will turn into any power… as long as it can be infused with the power of heaven and earth!
This is not my understanding, but the consciousness that the Taoist boy has just exploded at this moment… Finally, his accumulated Taoist skills and the most enviable talent have exploded… He has no extra expression of will, but I understand that he is telling me that at this moment, he will fight with me!
Under the thunderous sky, Yang Sheng’s large hand was suddenly blown apart… the river of fate rolled back and returned to Yang Sheng’s side.
Facing such a head-on attack from me… Yang Sheng’s expression was angry, and he once again shouted at me, “Chen Chengyi, relying on your exquisite Taoist skills? How about this?”
As he ran, Yang Sheng’s right foot slammed into the ground… The huge force of the rebound caused him to leap from the ground… His fist, raised high, was like a huge hammer, smashing down on me without mercy!
“Wind is coming!” My expression did not change… three more acupuncture points opened… the bones all creaked, and the opening of the thirty-seven acupuncture points seemed to tell me that this was the limit, but was it really the limit?
A gust of wind… the earth and sky instantly turned into a crazy hurricane, dragging my body towards Yang Sheng… At this moment, the power of the earth that had opened the acupoints poured into my body like crazy… making me feel like my entire soul and body were being squeezed madly!
“Come on, come on…” Yang Sheng roared viciously, as if he were the one who had been suppressed for many years and had suffered all the wrongs!
“Who isn’t coming? Come on…” In front of me, it seemed as if the bodies of my dear ones had fallen one after another, and behind me, it seemed as if I were carrying all their gazes… I was also going crazy!
The fist collided with a bang… the entire mountain top shook… the snow on the ground rose and scattered into a snow fog… flying between Yang Sheng and me!
“Come again!” Yang Sheng shouted wildly! His fist smashed into my chest.
Yes, so much hatred… how can one punch be enough? Facing Yang Sheng’s fist… I wildly countered again… even though I knew from the first punch… that my strength was not as good as Yang Sheng’s, unless I could wildly open up my acupoints again!
The impact felt like a fist of flesh hitting a metal plate… the pain was so hard, the force of the rebound so strong, that I could hardly breathe…
But is there a way out? No… ‘Boom’ ‘Boom’ ‘Boom’, the figures of Yang Sheng and I kept entangling in the air and on the ground… the fists and feet kept colliding! The entire mountain top was shaking as if an earthquake had occurred…
Not enough, not enough… My nasal cavity and mouth corners were bleeding, and I didn’t know if it was because all the forces I had endured had reached their limits, or because of the impact of colliding with Yang Sheng… In short, compared to him, I was in a mess!
“Do you know what the power of a god is? It is that my physical strength comes from Kunlun, and so does my spiritual strength!” As he spoke, Yang Sheng’s fist slammed into my face… The power of the earth was shattered, and I felt my teeth loosen in my jaw… I spat out a mouthful of blood.
“I don’t know what the power of God is, I only know that the moment you left, you already forgot that you were still a human being.” My fist also hit Yang Sheng’s nose hard… No human blood gushed out, only a black clot with a purple glow coagulated at the end of the nose.
“Fools will always be fools… Why can’t people improve themselves? I am the best example. Standing still is the most shameful backwardness.” Yang Sheng’s foot kicked me hard in the chest and stomach…
I grabbed Yang Sheng’s foot, and my face turned red… the veins on my neck bulged out. We were wrestling, and I said between my teeth, “Using human lives to advance? What progress in life can be made by someone who doesn’t even respect life?”
Finally, I lifted Yang Sheng’s foot, but the huge backlash also made me and him take a few steps back at the same time… The river of fate surged towards me… The power of heaven and earth beside me turned into a huge vapor, rolling towards his river of fate!
Like a water tornado in the sky… after colliding, it soared towards the distant sky…
“A general’s success is built on the bones of thousands! Your kindness is foolish!” Yang Sheng roared again and rushed towards me.
“That is the success of a general… that is only his own! Stepping on the cause of others, you will eventually reap the fruits of others for generations! Look at the Ghost Emperor over there. Isn’t that existence the best possible irony?” I also roared and rushed towards Yang Sheng…
“Boom,” another loud crash… Yang Sheng took a step back, but I took three steps back…
“Success or failure determines a hero! You often say that heaven’s will is heaven’s will… If heaven’s will allows me to win today, then it means that you are wrong.” Yang Sheng roared, and like a street thug fighting, he rushed at me again.
“Let’s fight.” How could I lose to him… With bloodshot eyes, I rushed at Yang Sheng again.
I need strength… I need strength! How can I lose? In my heart, I was almost crying blood… Even though I know that some darkness is not a temporary shroud over the earth… it takes many generations of effort to brush aside the darkness and see the light of the sky… even if I fall today, someone will step forward to pave the way with the blood of the ancestors.
But so many sacrifices… have already pierced my heart. How could I be willing to give up if I don’t fight until my soul is scattered and my flesh is gone?
“The power you have now is already your limit. Once your soul is completely shattered, you will also be reduced to ashes. I will be reduced to ashes with you… I can hold on for five more minutes… I don’t have any more strength left.” At this moment, the Taoist monk’s will was exceptionally clear, and he was reminding me.
But I am unwilling. How can I be willing? If the fire of will can burn the entire sky… I am willing to use my will, which has never been willing to surrender until now, to exchange for more. Even if neither Daotongzi nor Chen Chengyi ever existed, I am willing… Are you willing? I made this decision for you in this life.
I am willing… The friendship and sacrifice of this life have allowed me to see clearly what true Tao is… How can a lifetime of living in vain cover this life… This life is the one that has truly allowed me to understand the Tao. There is no power, because we used secret arts to completely burn our lives and souls, and with our innate powerful spiritual awareness, we attracted the power of heaven and earth… only to earn the right to fight against the so-called true power of Kunlun.
But my will is with you… From now on, you are me, and I am you… There is no Taoist boy, only Chen Chengyi… The will of the Taoist boy should have gone with the soul of Wei Chaoyu.
“Roar…” I shouted… Another collision, so painful. Yang Sheng’s power made me feel hopeless…
But I am holding on, I am holding on… This is my pride… I have a feeling of exhilaration…
“Get out of the way! Chen Chengyi, I’ll give you a chance to regret it.” Yang Sheng yelled at me.
“No! Step over my body.” I raised my fist… and rushed at Yang Sheng again…
At this moment, I felt a true fusion… all the memories of me and Daotongzi were rapidly turning over, Daotongzi’s experiences, everything about Daotongzi… all squeezed into my soul as if it were a copy of the soul!
“It is said that the Dao… will fuse the will of reincarnation for thousands of lives… and temper it into the will of a crystal clear life… and finally achieve perfection, breaking free from reincarnation… you and I have finally glimpsed a glimpse of the Dao in our past lives, fusing the two lives… and from now on, we are inseparable, forging a foundation of the Dao in our hearts, even if our souls are scattered, we are closer to the Dao… my will is not dissipated, it has become yours… the remaining remnants of my will will use your power in the last moment.”
The voice of the Taoist boy was crystal clear at that moment… At the same time, forty-nine copper lamps lit up in the snow… and forty-nine blue flames flickered in them, like souls.
And Cheng Xin Ge also opened his eyes, and many small blue needles appeared around him… they were also made of souls!
