Chapter 80: Didn’t even get an advantage at eighty
Relative to the acupoints on the arms, those on the back are far more crucial; if Yun Xiao manages to execute the Fuxue Technique accurately, I’m afraid Xuan Zhi would lose his combat capabilities in an instant, rendered completely numb and sore.
Many spectators harbor a peculiar anticipation upon witnessing this moment; they knew Zhao Ningshu had just suffered greatly from such a misfortune, resulting in a total collapse. Could it be that the Third Prince of the Xuanyue Empire will follow in Zhao Ningshu’s footsteps?
The truth demonstrates that, be it Meridian Qi Cultivation or reflex speed, Xuan Zhi is not comparable to Zhao Ningshu. Perhaps this is the disparity in cultivation resources, or maybe Xuan Zhi’s Power of Soul is ultimately much stronger than that of Zhao Ningshu.
However, as Yun Xiao’s right hand index and middle fingers were about to touch Xuan Zhi’s back, the Third Prince shifted his entire body several feet to the left with remarkable agility, causing Yun Xiao’s Fuxue strike to miss instantly.
"The mere Fuxue Technique, what can it do to me?" It must be said, the Third Prince of the Xuanyue Empire is indeed far more knowledgeable; a technique like Fuxue that ordinary families might never have heard of, he recognized at a glance, along with a hint of disdain in his tone.
In reality, Xuan Zhi was sweating bullets internally; precisely because he understood the fierceness of the Fuxue Technique did he realize that if he had been struck by Yun Xiao, he might have instantly fallen into a numb state, giving his opponent a chance.
Even with Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation, hitting an acupoint might not necessarily break Xuan Zhi’s defense. But as the esteemed Third Prince, how could he afford to be punched and swell up like Zhao Ningshu? Where would he put his face?
Xuan Zhi, who originally looked down on Yun Xiao, after exchanging rapid blows, has put away some of his arrogance. Although this boy is only at the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm, those tactics are indeed unpredictable.
Xuan Zhi will never forget the day in Medicine Valley when a patch of skin and flesh was burned off his left arm—an experience that will haunt him for a lifetime.
It seems Yun Xiao is aware that Xuan Zhi has his guards up against the Ancestral Vein Fire; he didn’t unfold his strongest measure at the start, knowing that invoking the Ancestral Vein Fire consumes a great deal of Meridian Qi.
