Chapter 2079 - 2075: Playing Dumb to Fool the Tiger
"Without strength, how could I become the Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect?"
Tang Ming smiled faintly and slowly raised his hand. Beneath him appeared a massive black array plate that instantly enveloped Mou Sansheng. Simultaneously, a blurry black barrier appeared above the array plate, covering the entire formation like a pot lid.
"What the hell is happening?"
The few people from the Three-Life Sect were dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it said that Tang Ming was only a Two-star Martial General?
How did he suddenly become a Seven-star Martial General?
"W-what kind of technique is this?"
Someone swallowed nervously and stared at Tang Ming uncertainly, "It looks like the Divine Machine Hundred Changes, but it’s not quite the same."
"Oh wow, this kid’s not bad!"
Standing at a distance, Yun Potian was slightly shocked, "To actually merge the Thousand Evil Poison Technique with the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, this technique..."
"Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes! Damn it."
Once Mou Sansheng steadied himself, he cursed and immediately launched one energy palm print after another towards Tang Ming in disbelief that Tang Ming was actually a Seven-star Martial General—such a predicament.
"No, no, no, this isn’t the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes you know!"
Tang Ming shook his head with a smile, lifted his hand slowly to grab the approaching energy handprints. The energy handprints then began to weaken and eventually disappeared, never even touching Tang Ming’s body.
"What’s going on?"
Mou Sansheng was shocked and hurriedly launched various attacks at Tang Ming, but his energy never reached Tang Ming, mysteriously vanishing instead.
"What kind of technique is this?"
After a while, Mou Sansheng, with an unpleasant look on his face, questioned Tang Ming.
"This is a martial art I created myself, though I haven’t thought of a name yet."
Tang Ming grinned proudly at Mou Sansheng. "The Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes is a magical type of cultivation technique that can mobilize various attribute energies. So I studied it and figured if it can mobilize them, it can also break them down. Thus, I created this Absolute Domain.
Within this, I can dismantle any attribute energy attack. Not bad, right?"
"Is such a thing even possible?"
Mou Sansheng was astounded. He couldn’t believe that Tang Ming, at such a young age, could have created his own martial art—simply unimaginable.
"If energy attacks are useless, then I just need to engage in melee combat. Though I don’t know how this kid suddenly became a Seven-star Martial General, I believe his realm is unstable, and in close combat, he surely won’t be my match."
After analyzing, Mou Sansheng concluded and immediately ceased his energy attacks, rushing swiftly towards Tang Ming to engage in close-quarter combat.
"Too naive!"
Seeing Mou Sansheng rushing towards him again, Tang Ming smiled playfully, his eyes flashing with golden light.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"
Out of nowhere, a large number of energy light sabers appeared within the entire barrier, and various attributes of energy transformed into countless sword qi, overwhelming Mou Sansheng.
"Holy crap!"
Witnessing this spectacle, Yun Potian, who was stroking his beard, exclaimed in surprise, "This kid even integrated the Huaxia Secret Technique—this is defying the heavens!"
Mou Sansheng also realized the severity of the situation and quickly but desperately blocked the onslaught of sword qi, completely immobilized from advancing towards Tang Ming.
"You’ve lost."
Tang Ming stood in place, controlling the numerous sword qi within the barrier with his fingers, smiling as he watched the exhausted Mou Sansheng.
"This kid is the true master at hiding strength. I...argh!"
Mou Sansheng managed to mutter but was interrupted as the sword qi penetrated his defenses, bombarding his Vigorous Air Armor with countless blows.
Under the bombardment of these various attribute sword qi, Mou Sansheng’s Vigorous Air Armor shattered after a brief moment, leaving countless wounds across his body.
"Damn it, Three-Life Transformation Technique!"
Seeing his imminent defeat, Mou Sansheng gritted his teeth and roared in anger, his aura suddenly surged, and his head of black hair instantly turned white, with both his eyeballs also turning snow white, his cultivation breaking through from Seven Stars directly to Eight-star Peak, with his Vigorous Air Armor reforming.
"Ding ding dang ding dang..."
Accompanying Mou Sansheng’s breakthrough, when the rampant sword qi in the barrier struck his Vigorous Air Armor again, it could only produce a clattering of metal, unable to breach his defense.
"You little brat, I’m now an Eight-star Peak Martial General. Your attacks have no effect on me."
Mou Sansheng stared at the vast number of sword qi, striding towards Tang Ming.
"Your Three-Life Transformation Technique is much more formidable than those brothers back then."
Tang Ming squinted his eyes, watching Mou Sansheng with interest. "Back then, I couldn’t understand how you could perform such a technique to suddenly raise your cultivation. Now it seems you’ve only discovered one running method of the human body’s Orochi Technique, consuming your life force to gain massive power in a short time. It’s fascinating!"
As Tang Ming spoke, he canceled the qi attacks within the barrier, analyzing the Three-Life Transformation Technique with great calm.
Mou Sansheng wasn’t aware of any Orochi Technique and couldn’t hear what Tang Ming was saying. The Three-Life Transformation Technique was a secret technique passed down in the Three-Life Sect and had no connection with the Orochi Technique.
"Kiddo, your attacks are now ineffective against me. Are you ready to admit defeat?"
Seeing Tang Ming withdraw his attacks, Mou Sansheng boastfully questioned.
"The outcome is decided, and the loser is you!"
Tang Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Idiot, I’m going to cripple you now."
Mou Sansheng cursed, lunging at Tang Ming, preparing for a lethal close-range strike, only to...
"Ah!"
As Mou Sansheng charged in front of Tang Ming and was about to strike, he suddenly screamed and knelt in front of Tang Ming with a thud.
"Hey! When I say you lost, you lost. Why show off?"
Tang Ming removed the barrier and sighed sympathetically.
"Pfft."
Mou Sansheng couldn’t help but spew out a mouthful of black blood, raising his head in horror to look at Tang Ming, "You actually poisoned me."
"You forgot, I’m an heir of the Thousand Evil Poison Technique."
Tang Ming raised his hand, gripping Mou Sansheng’s head, looking at the shocked members of the Three-Life Sect. "Your Sect Leader has lost, his life is in my hands, do you still wish to seek revenge?"
The few people from the Three-Life Sect were utterly flabbergasted, never expecting Tang Ming to be a Seven-star Martial General, and even more shocked that Mou Sansheng had knelt down after performing the Three-Life Transformation Technique without making a single move—just how strong was this Tang Ming?
"Sect Master Tang, have mercy."
An elder reacted, hurriedly stepping forward to plead, "The battle is over, our Sect Leader is defeated, the Three-Life Sect will retire from Jianghu during your lifetime, never to emerge, please do not take the Sect Leader’s life."
"Get lost! Remember your promise, if you break it, I will personally lead an attack to destroy the Three-Life Sect."
Tang Ming withdrew his hand, sternly warning.
