Chapter 242: The Importance of Endurance
By this point in the battle, the two had already exchanged over a hundred blows. The qi and blood in their bodies were in turmoil, and trickles of fresh blood flowed from their mouths.
It was an extremely unpleasant feeling; the shockwaves from each other’s Elemental Power had injured them both.
’The Vajra Body... It really does increase his strength severalfold.’ As they continued to clash, Lin Yun deduced the function of the Vajra Body: it could forcibly enhance a Martial Artist’s strength.
’Dammit...!’ Unable to take down Lin Yun after so long, Lang Dan was growing impatient. If this dragged on, his body wouldn’t be able to bear the strain of the Vajra Body. When that happened, forget Lin Yun—even a random Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm would be able to defeat him.
"Your Vajra Body must have some side effects, right?" Lin Yun asked Lang Dan. Any Cultivation Technique that forcibly enhanced a Martial Artist’s power was bound to have side effects; the only question was their severity.
Hearing this, Lang Dan snorted coldly. "Hmph. Even if there are side effects, I’ll have more than enough time to kill you before then."
’I have fifteen minutes at most. I have to kill him within that time,’ Lang Dan thought. After fifteen minutes, he would enter his Weakness Stage.
Raising his fists, he charged forward again. Lang Dan had no way out. If he couldn’t kill Lin Yun within fifteen minutes, then all that awaited him was death at Lin Yun’s hands.
Abandoning all defense, Lang Dan launched a frenzied assault on Lin Yun. He had to race against the clock; he couldn’t afford to waste any more time.
Seeing Lang Dan’s reckless assault, Lin Yun grew even more certain of his guess. ’Lang Dan doesn’t have much time left. As long as I can hold out, killing him will be a simple matter.’
Using Inch Step, Lin Yun continuously dodged Lang Dan’s attacks, giving him no opportunity for a decisive head-on confrontation. What infuriated Lang Dan was that Lin Yun was significantly faster. If Lin Yun refused to engage him directly, Lang Dan had no chance of landing a decisive blow.
Unable to catch up to Lin Yun, Lang Dan roared, "Is running all you know how to do?"
