Chapter 1445 - 1460: Anything Is Possible
Lin Mu looked at Hatanaka, sneered coldly, then slowly began to withdraw several layers of Inner Strength and released some Black Qi, aiming to merge with Hatanaka’s Pure Yin Qi, which must involve summoning the Pure Yang Qi from the Diamond Sutra.
Thus, Lin Mu’s Inner Strength gradually decreased, while Hatanaka’s Yin Qi gradually intensified, creating a strong contrast. This is the effect Hatanaka desired, using his Pure Yin Qi to overwhelm Lin Mu’s body, resulting in an interesting phenomenon akin to Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai — one wants to hit, and the other willingly accepts!
Hatanaka already felt that Lin Mu was struggling to resist; of course, he didn’t know if this was Lin Mu pretending, so Hatanaka increased his force once again.
Lin Mu had already withdrawn half of his Inner Strength beforehand, as he anticipated Hatanaka would certainly erupt with a formidable wave of Pure Yin Qi to defeat him in one blow. Although Lin Mu’s Black Qi is Pure Yang Righteous Qi, capable of merging with part of the Pure Yin Qi, if his body suddenly experienced too much Pure Yin Qi, he might find it difficult to withstand. Thus, Lin Mu needed to reserve some Pure Yang Qi as an intermediary.
The two competed in Inner Strength, with Hatanaka possessing deep Inner Power but Lin Mu having the advantage of youth and vigor, creating a feeling of being evenly matched. Thus, time ticked by second after second, with Hatanaka seemingly sensing Lin Mu’s True Qi slowly being diminished by him. Meanwhile, Hatanaka accumulated even more powerful Pure Yin Qi, ready to unleash all the Pure Yin Qi in his body into Lin Mu’s at the opportune moment, dealing him a fatal blow!
After another two minutes of stalemate, Hatanaka felt the moment was ripe! So he exclaimed inwardly, "Now’s the time! Attack!"
In the next moment, there was a thunderous sound as Hatanaka suddenly exerted force, and a powerful surge of Pure Yin True Qi broke through Lin Mu’s defenses, flooding into Lin Mu’s body like a dam bursting.
Lin Mu was instantly pushed back several steps by the impact before staggering to a stop. Clearly, this was not an act by Lin Mu; the strength of Hatanaka’s Yin Qi was indeed formidable. If not for the other half of Pure Yang True Qi in his body providing support, he would have certainly been sent flying.
Lin Mu worked hard to adjust his body, quickly summoning Pure Yang True Qi to neutralize his opponent’s Pure Yin Qi. It must be acknowledged, Hatanaka’s Pure Yin Qi was indeed extremely immense, incomparable to the earlier Yin Qi within Guo Meimei, which is not worth mentioning. Hatanaka’s Pure Yin Qi was the true powerhouse!
Faced with such an excellent opportunity, Lin Mu naturally had to use Pure Yang Qi to integrate the opponent’s Pure Yin Qi. After all, this would allow his power to multiply! Why not take advantage of it?
At this moment, Hatanaka furrowed his brows tightly, evidently surprised at the outcome. Understandably, he didn’t know Lin Mu was absorbing his Pure Yin Qi; what surprised him was that Lin Mu was unscathed, merely retreating a few steps.
Under normal circumstances, his Pure Yin Qi should have attacked Lin Mu’s internal organs, but judging by the current situation, Lin Mu was completely unscathed, even a punch landed on him didn’t cause much harm.
This left Hatanaka feeling extraordinarily astonished, bewildered by the turn of events; it was simply fraying his nerves.
"How could you possibly be unscathed?" Hatanaka asked.
Encountering such an anomaly was simply incredibly bizarre for Hatanaka, as all the questions in his mind rushed out.
"Haha, what could possibly happen to me?" Lin Mu spread his hands, gleefully said. Lin Mu’s expression indicated he was not only fine, but his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were seemingly very good, and he seemed more confident than at the start.
Of course, at this moment, Lin Mu had enough Inner Strength replenishment from his opponent, so his Essence, Qi, and Spirit obviously became more vigorous! Like a person walking in the desert for two days without drinking water, then surprisingly finding enough water to drink, naturally his spirit would become more vigorous than before drinking, and Lin Mu was exactly in this condition.
Not only was Lin Mu’s spirit extremely good at this moment, but his Inner Strength was also quite sufficient. The previous entanglement consumed a lot of his Inner Strength, but now he had received effective replenishment, so much that his Inner Strength was even more abundant than before the entanglement, the difference between the two immediately became apparent!
The Inner Strength that Hatanaka injected into Lin Mu’s body was like a spring, continuously replenishing Lin Mu’s Inner Strength. However, Hatanaka seemed a bit incredulous as he looked at Lin Mu, emotionally agitated, "Impossible, it’s impossible for you to be unscathed! The Inner Qi I injected into your body just now should be enough to collapse your internal organs completely, even if not killing you, it should cause serious injuries!"
"Is that so? Brother is fine, and nothing happened," Lin Mu said with a smile.
With the Inner Strength Hatanaka injected, defeating him should be no problem. After all, even that small amount of Pure Yin Qi within Guo Meimei could increase a year’s training for Lin Mu, let alone the much stronger Inner Qi within Hatanaka! Even if he absorbed merely a third of it, obtaining victory over Hatanaka should be attainable.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible!" Hatanaka swung his arms, at this moment he was like a crazed old man; such a scenario would understandably drive him mad. After all, Hatanaka was also a cultivator and quite confident in his strength, but now, facing such an odd event, he struggled to accept this unexpected outcome.
"Hehe, you fool, what is impossible? Huaxia has an advertisement saying, ’Everything is possible!’ Alas, you idiot, you wouldn’t understand even if explained!" Lin Mu said helplessly, looking at Hatanaka and cursing. Is this old guy insane? Does it warrant such exaggerated expressions?
"Die! I want to kill you!" Hatanaka roared, once again unleashing a terrifying force from within, impacting the surrounding air, even causing a strong ion current. Suddenly, Hatanaka pounced toward Lin Mu like a Fierce Tiger descending the mountain.
