C112 Both Sides Suffered Heavy Losses
This also proved that the gap between Qi Zhuohao and Lei Yunhai was not ordinary. Qi Zhuohao had the strength of his heart, and with the Step Technique Martial Arts, his speed was heaven defying. Presumably... Qi Zhuohao's attack was surely not weak. Although that was the case, helian Wufa's heart was pounding. If Qi Zhuohao used both his heartforce and Desolate Force at the same time... Could his Defensive Ground Weapon block it?
"Alright. Since Senior Brother Helian wants to see my Desolate Force so badly, I'll grant your wish!"
Qi Zhuohao nodded and said. No matter what? Helian Wufa's Spiritual Force had already dried up. This was the truth. In this battle... The victor would only be him. He also wanted to know. What other trump cards did Helian Wufa have? Could it be that Helian Wufa also had the Defensive Ground Weapon?
Qi Zhuohao could only think of this situation. He also understood that his thinking was most likely correct. Thus, he was very surprised. Low-grade Defensive Ground Weapon was not something that an ordinary Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator could possess. Not to mention the preciousness of a Low-grade Defensive Ground Weapon, just the use of an Earth Weapon would cause the Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator to suffer a certain amount of backlash. And... Unable to unleash the power of the Earth Weapon, within the Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator... Very few people possessed an Earth Weapon.
For example, the reason Nan Yudia had an Earth Weapon on her body. That was because she came from a noble family. To put it bluntly, Nan Yudia's family did not lack Earth Soldiers. Even so, Nan Yudia rarely used Defensive Ground Weapon in this realm.
However, Helian Wufa was different. It was said that Helian Wufa was an orphan. He was adopted by True Jade Peak's Peak Lord, Kong Bo, since childhood. Why did he have an Earth Soldier? Furthermore, he had used an Earth Soldier without the Spiritual Force. The backlash that Helian Wufa suffered would be even more severe. In order to witness the power of the Desolate Force, was there really a need to do this?
Furthermore, after being devoured by the Desolate Force, the damage to his life force would not be easy to recover. Could it be that Helian Wufa was not confident that Qi Zhuohao could break through his defense?
As he thought of this, Qi Zhuohao's expression gradually became serious. All signs indicated that Helian Wufa's trump card was definitely not simple. It seemed like he couldn't use the Collapsing Fist anymore. He had to use the Hot Flame Palm.
As expected, Helian Wufa shouted. Suddenly, a huge bronze bell flew out of his body. Furthermore, it enveloped him within. This situation wasn't limited to Qi Zhuohao. Everyone present was shocked. This was actually a Grand Heaven Bell! The top grade Defensive Ground Weapon within the Low Grade Ground Weapon!
The name of the Grand Heaven Bell was very famous in the Thousand Stars County. Many people had heard of it before. And because the bell type Defensive Artifact was special, it was very easy to recognize it. Among the people present... Many of them were able to recognize that the Defensive Ground Weapon that Helian Wufa couldn't bring out was a Grand Heaven Bell with a single glance.
It was said that the Grand Heaven Bell was a defensive item of a devil. Why would it appear on Helian Wufa's body? More importantly, the Grand Heaven Bell could reflect attacks and attack the Grand Heaven Bell user. It would definitely suffer a huge backlash, and the loss outweighed the gain.
Furthermore, the stronger the attack, the stronger its backlash would be. Of course, this was also relative. If the attack power of the attacker was too strong... The Grand Heaven Bell would be directly destroyed, and it wouldn't suffer any backlash or damage.
It was basically impossible for Spirit Accepting Stage warriors to destroy the Grand Heaven Bell. Everyone present firmly believed that it was impossible for Qi Zhuohao to have such strength, even if Qi Zhuohao had the Desolate Force and heartforce!
The current situation was that even if Qi Zhuohao could break through the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell, it would still be impossible for him to do so! If Qi Zhuohao did not attack Helian Wufa, he would suffer severe injuries. With the protection of the Grand Heaven Bell, he would not be able to fight Helian Wufa to a draw in this battle!
Qi Zhuohao was in a dilemma. Helian Wufa had not lost yet. He wanted to continue attacking Helian Wufa, right? With the terrifying defense of the Grand Heaven Bell, he should be able to block it. Furthermore, he would suffer from the backlash, and the result would be uncontrollable. But if he gave up, it would be no different than losing the competition. Qi Zhuohao was really looking forward to the experience in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave.
After thinking about it, Qi Zhuohao decided to give it his all. He didn't know if he could break the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell. If he attacked, he would definitely be seriously injured, but he had no choice. He had no other choice now.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Zhuohao stopped less than three meters away from the huge Grand Heaven Bell. Even if the Grand Heaven Bell didn't have the ability to reflect back, it was still a genuine Low-grade Defensive Ground Weapon. He had never attacked a low grade Defensive Ground Weapon before!
"Fine, I'll just treat it as a test!"
After forcing himself to calm down, Qi Zhuohao slowly raised his palm. His palm once again turned red in an instant. A terrifying high temperature spread out, causing the air above Life And Death Platform to tremble.
Immediately after, Qi Zhuohao crazily boosted the Spiritual Force, heartforce, and Desolate Force on his palm. His palm turned red, and the temperature was several times higher than before. It could easily melt metal!
Qi Zhuohao felt somewhat helpless. He didn't want to use his heartforce. He just wanted to use the Desolate Force and Hot Flame Palm to deal with Helian Wufa. But... Helian Wufa couldn't use the Grand Heaven Bell. If he didn't use his heartforce... It would be even harder to break through the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell.
Of course, even if he used his heartforce and Desolate Force, Qi Zhuohao wasn't confident that he could break through the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell. If Helian Wulian hadn't exhausted all his Spiritual Force, he would have used his physical body to forcefully activate the Grand Heaven Bell. He didn't even have the thought of giving it a try.
The terrifying temperature on Qi Zhuohao's palm continued to increase. Suddenly, he moved and rushed to the front of the Grand Heaven Bell. One of his palms slammed violently at the huge Grand Heaven Bell.
The sound of the bell was melodious, but it was bone-corroding. It sounded like the blood-curdling scream of a devil from hell. Qi Zhuohao's palm made contact with the Grand Heaven Bell, and his body was sent flying backwards. He spurted out a mouthful of blood. His face was filled with disbelief. His Hot Flame Palm failed to break through the Grand Heaven Bell's defense.
One should know that Qi Zhuohao's palm strike was augmented by his heartforce and Desolate Force. Even so, not only did he not break through the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell, but he also suffered a strong backlash from the Grand Heaven Bell, causing him to suffer severe internal injuries. 2
Fortunately, Qi Zhuohao could vaguely hear a muffled groan coming from within the bell. Obviously, Helian Wufa was also injured by the powerful vibration. Without the Spiritual Force, he could only rely on his physical body to activate the Grand Heaven Bell to block Qi Zhuohao's attack. However, it wasn't a good feeling either.
After falling to the ground, Qi Zhuohao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He walked towards the Grand Heaven Bell once again. Luckily, his body was strong. If it wasn't for the High Grade Mortal Weapon, he wouldn't be able to fight anymore.
"Has this Qi Zhuohao gone mad? He clearly knows that he can't break the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell, so why did he continue to attack it?"
Some of the disciples were puzzled. Looking at Qi Zhuohao's expression, it seemed like he didn't intend to give up. Now that he was injured to such an extent, he would continue attacking the Grand Heaven Bell. If the Grand Heaven Bell still hadn't been broken by that time, he would have lost his ability to fight due to the backlash. If that was the case, he would undoubtedly give Helian Wufa the chance to train in vain.
Even the Essence Incarnating Expert on the scene didn't understand. The stronger Qi Zhuohao's strength was, the greater the backlash he would suffer. They could tell that Qi Zhuohao's physique was extraordinary, but he could withstand the backlash of the Grand Heaven Bell a few times. This was asking for a spot!
Even Nan Yudia could not help but break out in a cold sweat for Qi Zhuohao. If Qi Zhuohao had the Defensive Martial Arts or the Defensive Artifact to protect him, she was worried, but Nan Yudia didn't say anything to stop Qi Zhuohao. Because she knew that Qi Zhuohao was very calm at this moment. He definitely wasn't acting on impulse. Qi Zhuohao had his own plans and thoughts!
The Grand Heaven Bell's backlash was almost equivalent to 50% of the attacker's strength. In other words, Qi Zhuohao's attack on the Grand Heaven Bell just now was equivalent to half of his strength being attacked. And that kind of force almost caused him to lose his ability to fight.
Fortunately, because of Qi Zhuohao's strong physique, the Spiritual Force was thick and solid. Not only was his body strong, but his recovery ability was also superb. Although his injuries were severe, he wasn't worried. As long as he still had a breath left in him... He wanted to continue attacking. He firmly believed that Helian could not be more relaxed than him. With another palm strike, he should be able to break the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell.
Therefore, Qi Zhuohao returned to his previous position and resolutely unleashed the Hot Flame Palm once again. Another pleasant sound of the bell rang out, and Qi Zhuohao was sent flying backwards just like before. He still hadn't broken through the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell.
However, the Grand Heaven Bell didn't stand still like before. Instead, it flew in the opposite direction of Qi Zhuohao. From within the Grand Heaven Bell, a human figure fell out. He was Helian Wufa, who had passed out.
In other words, although Qi Zhuohao couldn't break through the defense of the Grand Heaven Bell, he couldn't. However, after two of his attacks, Helian Wufa was unable to withstand the vibration of his attacks. Helian was also unable to withstand the backlash of the Grand Heaven Bell. In the end, he was knocked out.
Without Helian Wufa's control, the Grand Heaven Bell would have been broken. Furthermore, Helian Wukong had already lost!
Spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, Qi Zhuohao's face turned pale, and he struggled to get up. His deduction was right. Luckily, he had made the right bet. If he couldn't defeat Helian Wufa with this palm, then he would be the one who lost.
Qi Zhuohao was also incomparably helpless. Although he had won... However, he had also paid a heavy price. At this moment, he was like an arrow at the end of its flight. If not for his firm will, forcefully supporting his body, he would definitely have fallen to the ground like Helian Wufa!
This battle could be said to be a showdown between two super experts. It ended with both sides suffering heavy losses. With the Grand Heaven Bell in his body, Helian Wufa... No one would think that his strength was not as strong as Nan Yudia and the others. This point... Nan Yudia and the others all had the same thought.
What a joke! With Qi Zhuohao's terrifying strength, and with the help of his heartforce and Desolate Force, under the circumstances that Helian Wufa was unable to use up all his Spiritual Force, he had to pay a painful price before he was lucky enough to defeat Helian Wufa. Nan Yudia, Shen Ji and the rest could not help but sigh. If it were them... It was simply impossible to defeat Helian Wufa.
"En, Helian Wufa just fainted. His body is fine. He could recover after resting for a few days, and the Grand Heaven Bell had isolated most of the Desolate Force. Although his life force is damaged, it won't affect him too much after consuming this Medicinal Pill... "
Sima Qingyun announced the result of the competition, and Helian was unable to be carried away for treatment. At this time, Qi Zhuohao walked down from the Life And Death Platform as if he was walking on thin ice. Nan Yudia quickly went forward to support him, and took out a Medicinal Pill for him to consume.
Immediately after, Qi Zhuohao didn't care about anything else and directly sat cross-legged on the ground to treat his injuries. He could choose not to participate in the ranking competition, but he had to treat his injuries as soon as possible. There were ambitious experts like Zhu Tianrong in this place. Who could guarantee that Zhu Tianrong and the others would not take the opportunity to attack him? The most important thing right now was to heal his injuries.
Du Qingluo seemed to know Qi Zhuohao's worries. With a solemn expression, she came to his side to protect him. It could be seen that Du Qingluo seemed to be very concerned about Qi Zhuohao. His expression proved that he was also nervous about Qi Zhuohao.
Others might not be able to see this, but Nan Yudia could feel it. This made her a little surprised and even unhappy. She really hoped that her worries were unnecessary. A Peak Lord beauty at such a young age should not fall in love with Qi Zhuohao!
