Chapter 2146: Chapter 1010: Shi Tiangang (Part 3) Shi Tiangang was raging with fury. He simply stopped pursuing Mo Hua and instead executed a "scorched earth policy," surrounding himself with a golden light that transformed into armor. His Blood Qi vibrated like golden threads, destroying all mountains, stones, and forests along the way, trying to force Mo Hua out. However, this action backfired instead. The collapsing mountains and forests muddled the Earth and Wood Qi of the Five Elements, providing a cover for Mo Hua’s Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill. Mo Hua was concealed nearby, quietly watching Shi Tiangang wreak havoc in the mountains and forests. Once he was done rampaging, Mo Hua would deliberately show himself a bit, say a few words, and provoke him into a rage. Shi Tiangang’s Strength surged through his body, cloaked in a layer of dark golden Blood Qi, saturated with killing intent, wielding immense power. He only needed to touch Mo Hua, and just the force of his punch could crush Mo Hua to "death." But the hateful thing was, he couldn’t hit Mo Hua at all. He wasn’t even sure where Mo Hua actually was. This powerful Senior Brother of the Vajra Sect felt as though he was carrying a cannon, trying to swat a mosquito. With such strength, he was helpless against Mo Hua. And so, they circled each other for a while longer. In a moment of anger, Shi Tiangang suddenly realized this wasn’t right. He was wasting too much time on Mo Hua, his comrades on Linghu Xiao’s side must be under enormous pressure, facing a dire situation. At that thought, Shi Tiangang disregarded his hatred for Mo Hua and turned to leave. Mo Hua wanted to keep him, casting a few spells with little effect, and soon lost interest in attacking further. Shi Tiangang left the forest and arrived at the scene of the chaotic battle, finding the situation as he had expected; the Vajra Sect had already lost one disciple. Currently, Linghu Xiao and his group of four were pressing against three Vajra Sect disciples. The situation was precarious. With a furious roar, Shi Tiangang rushed to join the fray, standing alongside his comrades. In this clash, he noticed something unusual. The Taixu Gate fighters, besides Linghu Xiao, were almost exclusively wielding Spiritual Artifacts of the "Gold-conquering" and "Armor-breaking" type. The Spiritual Artifacts shimmered with profound luster, indicating the presence of a special Formation that imbues Spiritual Light. Shi Tiangang immediately understood where these Formations came from—Mo Hua. Taixu Gate’s Formation Leader. Sword discussions and duels were all about strategies. While he was calculating against Mo Hua, Mo Hua was also plotting against him. These Armor-breaking Spiritual Artifacts were specially prepared by Mo Hua. The key was who would kill first, would he kill Taixu Gate’s Mo Hua or would Linghu Xiao kill his comrades. It seems now, he fell into Mo Hua’s trap. Shi Tiangang gritted his teeth. This Junior Brother of Taixu Gate, Mo Hua, was far more insidious and elusive than he had imagined. And his trump cards were many. Just then, Mo Hua arrived as well, and the situation was just as suspected, with the Vajra Sect missing one member, making it Taixu Gate’s five against four. In this situation, the advantage was significant. Mo Hua began to use Five Elements Spell for support. The Vajra Sect consisted entirely of body cultivators with "Vajra Unbreakable Bodies," if Mo Hua’s spell was used alone, it would have little effect. But this was a team battle. His spells could create opportunities, magnify flaws, harass enemies, earning Linghu Xiao and the others room for output. Even a little space was enough. Very soon, the Vajra Sect disciples were "sent" away one by one by Linghu Xiao’s Sword Qi. In the end, only Shi Tiangang remained. On Taixu Gate’s side, Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, having previously restrained the Vajra Sect disciples, exhausted too much Blood Qi and Spiritual Power, giving Shi Tiangang the opportunity to smash their Dao Discussion Jade with a punch each, defeating them. The battlefield only had Mo Hua, Linghu Xiao, Ouyang Xuan, and the Vajra Sect’s Big Senior Brother, Shi Tiangang, left. Three against one. Mo Hua initially felt confident. But what he never imagined was that the real "tough fight" was just beginning. This "Shi Tiangang" was indeed the hardest to defeat. Mo Hua truly saw what Vajra Unbreakable meant, what invulnerability meant, what imperviousness to water and fire meant. Shi Tiangang pushed his Vajra body to the limit, in straightforward confrontations, was fighting against Linghu Xiao, Ouyang Xuan, and Mo Hua alone. His cultivation was near Foundation Establishment Peak, with Blood Qi overflowing and naturally extraordinary roots and bones. Vajra Unbreakable Skill at the Foundation Establishment Realm reached the third level of "Golden Skin Iron Bones." This was unparalleled among Vajra Sect disciples over the past century. Sword Qi harmed the body, with iron bones as a barrier. Spells corroded, with golden skin for exemption. Shi Tiangang used the Gold Element Step, clenched his fist like Vajra, with each move pulsing with qi and blood, hidden with golden strength, Ouyang Xuan was forced to retreat extensively. Linghu Xiao could only clash head-on with Sword Qi. Mo Hua could only throw spells from afar. Despite being three against one, Shi Tiangang created the feeling of one person suppressing three. This battle was truly fierce, painfully prolonged. It was the longest sword discussion Mo Hua had ever experienced. Mo Hua was even forced to consider disrupting the plan and using other "trump cards." In the end, fortunately, Linghu Xiao "burst out" under pressure, and after great effort from the three of them, managed to fight Shi Tiangang to death. Shi Tiangang was a genius. Linghu Xiao was one as well. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎 And through Mo Hua’s arrangements, Linghu Xiao continued to hone himself in every sword discussion. This Sword Dao Genius was gradually becoming stronger, steadily "sharpening." In this sword discussion, Shi Tiangang posed him tremendous pressure. Linghu Xiao also burst forth with immense combat strength. Of course, relying solely on Linghu Xiao was not enough. Despite seemingly quiet, Ouyang Xuan used Tai’a lineage’s swordsmanship to hold against immense pressure, making a significant contribution. And then there was Mo Hua. Using "Fire Brightness Skill," "Golden Flash Skill," "Earth Sinking Skill," "Golden Sound Skill"... these abundant, though harmless, sinister small spells like "eye-blinding," "ear-splitting," "eye-burning," "earth-sinking," restrained Shi Tiangang, stirred his anger, exposing numerous gaps. Shi Tiangang’s pre-battle prediction was accurate. Not killing Mo Hua indeed could lead to being killed insidiously. Even if not killed insidiously, it would certainly lead to feeling terribly vexed. Thus, through countless rounds, the combined efforts of the three of them, Mo Hua depleted all his Spiritual Power, Ouyang Xuan exerted all his strength, finally wore down Shi Tiangang’s "Vajra Unbreakable Body," breaking his defense. Only then did Linghu Xiao seize the opportunity, holding onto his last breath, in a desperate stance, using the powerful Chongxu Sword True Art, and cut down Shi Tiangang. Taixu Gate emerged victorious. After withdrawing from the field, Mo Hua let out a long sigh of relief, almost exhausted to the point of collapse. He never anticipated that the Big Senior Brother of the Vajra Sect could be this powerful. With such top-tier talent, offensive and defensive body cultivation was truly fearsome. Shi Tiangang was merely in Foundation Establishment and already so "solid," what terrifying strength would his flesh reach if he advanced to Golden Core and Feather Transformation, refining the Vajra Unbreakable Skill to higher realms, Mo Hua dared not imagine. Perhaps he could stand still while being attacked, and others still might not be able to kill him. "This Shi Tiangang... he will surely be an extraordinary person in the future..." Mo Hua nodded, deeply acknowledging Shi Tiangang’s strength. But this sword discussion dragged on too long, while Mo Hua was fighting arduous battles inside, the spectators watching outside could only feel fatigue. They could see that Shi Tiangang truly was strong. In the final moments, fighting against three, he did not fall behind, almost showing signs of "breaking through three," albeit losing in the end, still left everyone in awe. But regrettably, his earlier stint in the woods, playing "hide and seek" with Mo Hua using Concealment Technique, from the viewers’ perspective, seemed extremely "foolish." How could someone be so foolish? Not even recognizing Concealment Technique? The Vajra Sect’s body cultivators indeed had developed four limbs but simple minds... Everyone solidified this stereotype. In their subconscious perception, Shi Tiangang’s image transitioned from the stable and strong Senior Brother of the Vajra Sect to a... glittering big fool.
