Chapter 829: Chapter 834: The Despicable Old Man (Part 1)
The eyesight of an Innate Powerhouse is not something ordinary people can compare to!
The Fist Skill Lin Xi executed is already quite extraordinary in the eyes of the robed elder.
Even within his family, it is considered a top-level Fist Skill.
But what he knows is that to instantly elevate power and explosiveness to another level is an incredibly difficult task.
Moreover, this type of Cultivation Technique consumes immense energy, and is usually not used unless facing a life-and-death enemy.
He can understand Lin Xi’s execution, after all, he is an Innate Powerhouse, still the powerhouse among them, merely a Peak Soldier King; if he didn’t use such a Fist Skill, he would surely die instantly.
Now, his only question is, how could this kid remain unscathed after using it for several minutes?
How could this be possible?
Even for us Innate Powerhouses, when using such a Fist Skill, we can only maintain it for this long at most.
And for those below the Innate stage, thirty seconds is considered incredible.
"Could it be that this Fist Skill consumes very little physical energy?" he wondered to himself.
For those below the Innate stage, they haven’t cultivated True Qi yet. Only Innate Powerhouses begin to cultivate True Qi within their bodies.
Thinking of this, he revealed a look of wild joy.
If it is truly as he speculates, then this Fist Skill would be considered top-tier even in his own family.
Because people below Innate can use it, and it consumes little energy!
By then, if this Fist Skill is taught to the core disciples in his family, their strength would surely enhance significantly.
For instance, just like this moment!
Moreover, he felt a dull pain emanating from his fist and palm, which proves that this Fist Skill is indeed very strong!
And, clearly, this Fist Skill is very beneficial to him as well!
If he cultivated it, his power would also increase significantly, more importantly, he wouldn’t have to worry about exhausting too much True Qi to dare to use it.
The more he speculated, the more excited he became, truly as if he had found a treasure.
"Kid, if you offer me this Fist Skill, I can spare your life today!" The robed elder tried to control his emotions, while countering Lin Xi’s moves, and said.
Lin Xi completely ignored what he said.
He was actually very excited now, because ever since he was young, the opponents he faced were either too weak or just average, or like an old man strong beyond reason, so the Fist Skills he learned never had a chance to be fully unleashed.
Now, this robed elder, having already consumed a lot of True Qi, is not completely overwhelming against him.
However, he also found it hard to defeat the opponent instantly.
So now he could say he was executing the Great Strength Bull Fist grandly and joyfully, and as he continued to output, the skill kept improving, and the power kept increasing.
He felt that the oppressive feeling from the robed elder had completely dissipated.
At this point, he had a sensation that the opponent was just so-so!
It’s true that this Fist Skill consumes a lot of True Qi, but because Lin Xi was cultivating the Xuan Yuan Divine Dragon Technique, it was just a drop in the bucket.
So, the robed elder’s earlier thought that it consumed little physical energy or True Qi was a misunderstanding.
The robed elder sensed the increasing power of Lin Xi’s Fist Skill, and was displeased by Lin Xi’s disregard; he couldn’t help but snort, "Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
"If I give you a chance and you don’t take it well, don’t blame me for making a deadly move!"
"Furthermore, if you die, I’ll make sure to enjoy those two ladies behind you for you!"
Upon saying this, he couldn’t resist glancing again at Zhou Yan and Avril Jolie, clicking his tongue as he commented, "So beautiful, after all these years of not coming out, I didn’t expect such great women outside!"
The more he looked, the more excited he became!
Since entering the Innate stage, he hadn’t had much interest in matters between men and women.
But today, he realized it wasn’t a lack of interest, but that his standards had risen too high, and ordinary women couldn’t catch his eye.
Not far away, Zhou Yan and Avril Jolie, feeling the gaze of the robed elder, as if he wanted to swallow them whole, couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
Avril Jolie looked at Zhou Yan and whispered, "Should we leave first?"
"I fear that if we stay here, we’ll only cause trouble for Lin Xi!"
Zhou Yan cast a cold glance at her, "Causing trouble?"
"I think you want to abandon Lin Xi and escape on your own!"
Saying this, she didn’t give a second glance towards Avril Jolie, but looked back towards the two fighting men, saying, "If Lin Xi fails, do you think you can escape?"
Avril Jolie’s face stiffened, then forced a smile.
Not to mention her lacking in strength, even a special forces soldier could easily catch up with her, let alone an Innate Powerhouse!
Besides, even if she and Zhou Yan managed to leave, thinking of those beasts earlier, chills ran down her spine involuntarily.
Perhaps before the robed elder catches up to them, or before Lin Xi finds them, they might already be torn apart or swallowed whole by the wild beasts here.
"Then forget it!" she murmured, then looked at Zhou Yan’s gun, and said, "Do we have any way to help Lin Xi?"
Zhou Yan knew her thoughts and shook her head, "The gun is useless against them now!"
"Besides, with their speed, I am also worried about accidentally harming Lin Xi, which would backfire."
"At this time, standing here doing nothing is the biggest help we can offer him!"
The stronger she grew, the more she realized that firearms greatly decreased in threat against the King of Soldiers, and hardly had any effect on experts above top-level Soldier Kings!
Of course, excluding heavy weapons!
From the beginning, Lin Xi wore an expression of calm indifference, not showing any emotion, but now there was a hint of killing intent on his face. The words and gaze of the robed elder had infuriated him.
He coldly replied, "Seizing the opportunity?"
"What is seizing the opportunity?"
"To me, you’re just an old geezer on the brink of death!"
"At such an old age, only reaching Early Innate Stage, you shame your mother. If only she had strangled you at birth, and yet, with this level of strength, you’re still so arrogant. I say you’re courting death!"
"Because to me, you are merely a feeble and insignificant creature!"
At this point, Lin Xi transitioned from being in a fervent battle mode to a relentless, reckless offensive, entirely abandoning defense.
It was a strategy of mutual destruction.
The enraged robed elder, significantly weakened, dared not fight Lin Xi in such a manner, leading to a feeling of being constrained, even subtly suppressed.
He was, after all, an Innate Powerhouse, and Lin Xi was just a Peak Soldier King, infuriating him the more he thought about it.
If word got out, his reputation would be ruined!
The scene of mockery from rivals, possibly reaching the ears of the younger generation, was something he could already envision.
Moreover, Lin Xi’s earlier words had ignited his fury, "A feeble and insignificant creature?"
"I see you really are living life on the edge!"
After exchanging punches, they stood three or four meters apart. The robed elder did not rush to attack, and neither did Lin Xi. Both appeared to be gathering strength for a final blow or genuinely starting to fight for their lives.
The robed elder, his face darkened, glared at Lin Xi with a murderous intent, "I’ve decided now, I won’t kill you immediately, but after severely injuring you, heh] heh[’’]!"
"Of course, I’ll also take the Fist Skill!"
