While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 141 - 123: The Battle with Damned Zong, Su Xing's Open Strategy! (Part 3)_2

"Judging by grade alone, the black energy is evidently inferior to the Li Fire Technique. It's just that the damned Zong's mana is more robust, his cultivation level stronger, hence he can suppress the Li Fire Technique, right?"

Su Xing roughly made a judgment in his mind and looked at the simulation panel.

[You fought like this for over ten rounds, noticeably feeling the excessive depletion of spiritual power. Even though you reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, the Li Fire Technique still consumed a significant amount of your spiritual power when unleashed to its fullest.]

[What shocked you even more was that the black energy seemed to be constantly eroding the spiritual energy of the Li Fire Technique, causing your spiritual power consumption to increase drastically. You had to continuously absorb Spirit Stones to maintain your energy.]

[The damned Zong saw that the Li Fire Technique and the black energy were temporarily locked in a stalemate. He immediately sneered, threw the bone sword in his hand, and chanted a spell. The bone sword shot toward you at an astonishing speed.]

[You were still desperately maintaining the Li Fire Technique and did not react in time, resulting in the bone sword piercing your abdomen, inflicting severe injury.]

[After being injured, your spiritual power became unstable, making it difficult to sustain the Li Fire Technique, which was quickly devoured by the black energy.]

[You stared at the wound in your abdomen, where black energy, like maggots on a bone, continuously gnawed at your flesh and spiritual energy. If you hadn't broken through to the Divine Strength Realm with a strong physical body, this blow might have killed you.]

[You hurriedly retrieved some spiritual dew from your storage ring, drank part of it, and smeared the rest on your wound. The spiritual dew took effect, improving your condition significantly.]

[The damned Zong snorted coldly when he saw this: you have quite a few treasures on you, no wonder you dared to fight me.]

[With that, the damned Zong extended his left hand, a black paw wrapped in black energy, and clawed at you.]

[The damned Zong was extremely fast. Knowing you couldn't evade, you gathered all your origin force, covering your fists and striking directly at the damned Zong.]

[Instantaneously, two deep wounds appeared on your body, with black claw marks continuously devouring your flesh. Your life force was rapidly diminishing, and only by constantly maintaining spiritual power could you barely stave off the black energy.]

[On the other side, the damned Zong, evidently caught off guard by your grasp of origin force, had his arm shattered and hung limp. He looked at you with even more malice.]

[Yet, the damned Zong's combat strength was hardly affected. He picked up the bone sword and charged at you again.]

[You were repeatedly struck by the damned Zong, sustaining severe injuries. Knowing you couldn't continue fighting, you could only dodge awkwardly.]

[Within just a minute, several more wounds appeared on your body. With black energy invading, your life was hanging by a thread.]

[Helpless, you summoned the Spirit Field Blessed Land and temporarily hid within.]

[Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you quickly took out several healing pills and consumed them. After a few breaths of adjustment, you exited the Spirit Field Blessed Land again.]

[The damned Zong seemed taken aback when you suddenly disappeared and reappeared, hesitating for a few seconds.]

[But then he seemed to realize something, his expression turning feverish, muttering about a heavenly fortune.]

[The damned Zong evidently guessed that you had a portable blessed land. Even for top-tier cultivators, this was a tremendous magical treasure and opportunity. For someone like him, stuck at the peak of the Divinity Transformation, it could be the chance to advance further!]

[Thus, he wanted to kill you and seize the treasure!]

Seeing this, Su Xing sighed softly and murmured:

"Sure enough, there's still quite a gap between my power and the damned Zong's! Although I can delay for dozens of rounds, I've obviously been on the defensive..."

"And the damned Zong's combat experience is far richer than mine. He even has a Sword Control Technique, directly inflicting serious injury on me..."

Su Xing felt somewhat unwilling. Given his strength, though not on par with the damned Zong's double stages of Divinity Transformation and Divine Strength, he should have been able to hold out longer with techniques like the Human Sword, Li Fire Technique, and origin force.

But due to insufficient combat experience, he was quickly seriously injured by the damned Zong.

"It looks like I must rapidly enhance my combat experience... Find an opportunity to bring back twenty years of combat experience from the Demon-Subduing Pass. The constant battles there will surely greatly improve my combat strength!"

Su Xing considered his next steps.

"This damned Zong clearly set his sights on my Spirit Field Blessed Land. After so many years of pursuing spiritual energy, if he truly obtains this blessed land, he will likely break through to the Return to Void Realm..."

"But this... is precisely his weakness!"

Su Xing quickly realized, murmuring:

"This damned Zong originally could come and go as he pleased, fleeing if he was at a disadvantage. But now, he covets my Spirit Field Blessed Land, unable to part with the treasure, so he has concerns. I can exploit this weakness, using delaying tactics... until Luo Shuying arrives for assistance!"

Su Xing secretly planned in his heart. The damned Zong might not know that Luo Shuying was also coming to besiege him, so he just needed to hold out until Luo Shuying arrived, then victory would be inevitable.

"With Luo Shuying's strength, perhaps she could arrive within a quarter of an hour?"

"Hope she doesn't take too long..."

Su Xing sighed silently, looking at the simulation panel.

[You saw the fanaticism on the damned Zong's face, but inwardly you only sneered. You decided to change your tactics, not attacking head-on but stalling for time!]

[Thus, you continuously drove the Li Fire Technique, flying towards the damned Zong to disrupt his steps while desperately dodging.]

[The damned Zong mastered the art of flying in mid-air, his speed significantly faster than yours. Even with your intent to delay, the distance was constantly closing, causing several more wounds on your body within minutes.]

[With the black energy deepening its invasion into your body, your wounds became more severe, and your internal spiritual power circulation impaired. You knew you must find a way to expel the black energy quickly, or it would affect your foundation.]

[Seeing the damned Zong relentlessly chasing you, you had a flash of inspiration and hid in the Spirit Field Blessed Land once more. Not daring to stay too long, you quickly adjusted your breath, plucked several Gathering Spirit Flowers from the ground, and returned to the real world.]

[Sure enough, the damned Zong was already waiting outside. As you reappeared, he pounced immediately, but you barely avoided a vital attack.]

[Just as the damned Zong pounced again, you casually tossed several Gathering Spirit Flowers and turned to flee.]

[Sure enough, the damned Zong paused upon sensing the Gathering Spirit Flowers' aura, then quickly snatched them up and continued the pursuit.]

[That momentary pause allowed you to widen the distance by dozens of meters.]

Su Xing nodded slightly as he saw this and murmured:

"Even the cautious damned Zong couldn't resist the instinct to seize such a treasure. Though the Gathering Spirit Flowers may not be much in the Cultivation World, in this age of declining magic, they are priceless to the damned Zong and every cultivator!"

"Because Gathering Spirit Flowers signify an endless supply of spiritual energy!"

Su Xing sighed inwardly, acknowledging that even the damned Zong couldn't resist the allure.

Then continued the simulation.

[The damned Zong relentlessly pursued you, but every time he closed in, you threw out more Gathering Spirit Flowers. Though he saw through your ploy, he had no choice but to pick them up.]

[Your scheme was impossible to counter, as Gathering Spirit Flowers would wither quickly after leaving the aura of spiritual energy. If the damned Zong didn't store them in his storage ring promptly, they would wither by the time he returned to collect them after killing you.]

[The loss of such treasures was intolerable to him.]

[Thus, you threw out dozens of Gathering Spirit Flowers, delaying for several minutes. Though the damned Zong wanted to kill you, he was helpless.]

[Suddenly, the damned Zong's expression changed. Instead of pursuing you, he fled in the opposite direction.]

[At the same time, you felt a powerful aura approaching rapidly. Knowing it was Luo Shuying coming to your aid, you quickly turned to intercept the damned Zong.]
