His words made both of their expressions turn grim. Especially Zhao Longhu, whose heart was gradually sinking into despair. He had initially thought that the two of them could hold off this man, but now it seemed he had overestimated their strength. If he hadn't been injured, with Qin Wu's help, they might have been able to force him back. But now, the situation was likely much more difficult, and most importantly, Qin Wu and he had already been locked in combat for a while. Under these circumstances, retreating was no longer as easy as before. So now, not only might he die, but Qin Wu might also die with him. However, neither of them knew what Qin Wu was thinking. Indeed, one of the Three Fiends of Qianzhou was incredibly powerful, but Qin Wu had always kept a trump card hidden: the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist. Although Qin Wu had learned many powerful techniques, he knew very well that, regardless of the type, the strongest for him at present was still the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist. This was not only because the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist itself was of a high grade, but also because it could be considered a supreme martial art. Back when he was still in the Meridian Opening Realm, he was able to break through the limits of both the Meridian Opening Realm and the True Qi Realm with the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist, opening his twelve acupoints and possessing the explosive power of the True Qi Realm. Moreover, he had already cultivated the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist to the pinnacle of perfection. Under these circumstances, even though the Tiger King Saber and the Immovable Vajra Body were of considerable quality, they were still far inferior to the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist. However, he was very clear that even with the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist, killing this person in one strike would not be easy; only by finding the perfect opportunity could he possibly succeed. Meanwhile, the sinister old man opposite him was completely unaware of Qin Wu's thoughts. He simply laughed loudly and said, "You will all die here today!"
As he spoke, he suddenly charged towards Qin Wu. He had already clearly seen that although Zhao Longhu was stronger, he was already injured and practically dead. Qin Wu, however, was different. Qin Wu was younger, and the strength he displayed even made him feel somewhat alarmed. If Qin Wu were allowed to leave, he could return in a few years and pose a deadly threat. Therefore, he knew very well who he should attack now. Seeing his movement, Zhao Longhu was startled and quickly warned, "Be careful!"
However, although he spoke up to warn him, it was too late to do anything. His heart sank, and he could barely bear to watch. In his view, Qin Wu had no chance of blocking this attack. But at this moment, he could only launch a preemptive strike, hoping to force the assailant back and perhaps create an opportunity for Qin Wu to counterattack, allowing him to avoid vital points and save his life. But just then, a cold glint flashed in Qin Wu's eyes—the opportunity had arrived!
At this moment, although the assailant was attacking him, he had underestimated him. Under these circumstances, he might still be able to achieve a victory. Thinking this, he unleashed all his hidden energy without hesitation, and simultaneously activated the Dragon Elephant Suppressing World Technique in all twelve acupoints of his body. In an instant, he felt excruciating pain throughout his body. Even though he had already opened one acupoint, the pain was still unbearable. However, in return, all twelve acupoints were shattered in an instant, and the internal energy within his body transformed into true energy as it passed through them. By the time the assailant realized something was wrong, it was already too late. He had already unleashed a strike and was powerless to retract it. At the same time, Qin Wu roared, "Dragon Elephant Suppressing World Fist!"
With a roar, a terrifying fist shot from his fist towards the assailant. Almost instantly, a terrifying force erupted, and Qin Wu was propelled towards the assailant like a cannonball. The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither showing any intention of retreating. With a deafening boom, Qin Wu neither dodged nor evaded, his fist directly colliding with the assailant's longsword. However, Qin Wu's fist was not cleaved by the blade; instead, with a crisp sound, the assailant's sword snapped in two. Moreover, the assailant was sent flying backward, slammed back more than ten meters by the terrifying force, and crashed to the ground, his aura weakened. Clearly, although he had barely managed to block the punch, he was already seriously injured. This scene stunned Zhao Longhu, who stared at Qin Wu with disbelief and shock in his eyes. Although Qin Wu had just unleashed extremely strong power, he was certain that Qin Wu had not been holding back his strength. In other words, Qin Wu had indeed only opened one or two acupoints, yet he was able to unleash such a powerful punch single-handedly, a feat that even one of the Three Fiends of Qianzhou, who had already reached the True Qi Realm for many years, could not withstand. This was no longer a matter of talent; in his eyes, Qin Wu at this moment was simply a monster.
Upon seeing this, the assailant's face immediately turned extremely ugly, his eyes filled with intense resentment: "Damn brat, you actually had this trick up your sleeve!"
He never expected Qin Wu to possess such a skill, inflicting a severe injury with a single blow. However, he forcefully mustered his true energy and sprang to the air. Although his aura appeared somewhat weak, the killing intent in his eyes remained undiminished, as if he still possessed formidable combat power. Seeing this, Qin Wu's expression changed. As expected of a True Qi Realm expert, even in this condition, he still possessed sufficient combat strength, stood up, and even seemed largely unaffected. Therefore, Qin Wu's heart sank. With that punch, he felt a burning pain throughout his body, almost completely exhausted, making it extremely difficult to unleash the Dragon Elephant Suppressing World Fist. This was his intended killing move. When he threw that punch, ninety percent of his power was already depleted, making it impossible to use it again in the short term. Zhao Longhu, standing beside him, was also seriously injured. Therefore, under these circumstances, if this assailant continued to attack, their chances of survival today would be slim. Despite these thoughts, Qin Wu's expression remained unchanged, even becoming more ferocious. He coldly stared at one of the three ruthless men of Qianzhou before him, and then said, "Old man, can you still hold on?"
The thug glared at Qin Wu and said with a ferocious expression, "Good lad, your strength is indeed impressive, but so what? With your current strength, how much power will you have left after unleashing that move? Although I am indeed seriously injured, I don't believe you can withstand it."
However, despite this, he didn't continue his attack. Seeing this, Qin Wu immediately understood the situation. Not only were the two of them wary of the assailant, but the assailant was as well. After all, he had no idea how much strength Qin Wu still possessed. If, as he guessed, Qin Wu was already exhausted, that would be fine. But if he could still unleash that attack, he would surely die. Under these circumstances, he naturally dared not act rashly, so for a moment, the group was locked in a stalemate.
Qin Wu took a deep breath, his inner energy circulating wildly, his Unyielding Vajra Body constantly urging his body forward. Under these conditions, his complexion gradually changed from pale to rosy; with the blessing of numerous beast souls, his recovery ability far surpassed that of ordinary people. However, he was also very clear that time absolutely could not be delayed, because if it dragged on, the assailant would definitely react. After only the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Qin Wu took a step forward, his eyes revealing boundless killing intent, as if he was about to make a move.
Upon seeing Qin Wu's actions, the assailant's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he turned and ran.
Zhao Longhu wanted to give chase, but Qin Wu stopped him with a single look.
In the current situation, if they were to pursue, the outcome of the fight would be uncertain, but it would most likely result in mutual destruction, rendering the battle meaningless. However, regardless, they had ultimately won this battle. Zhao Longhu looked at Qin Wu and then exclaimed in shock, "Your strength is truly terrifying! If you had unleashed another punch just now, that old guy would probably be dead here!"
Qin Wu shook his head helplessly and said, "I would like to use this move, but with my current strength, where would I find the strength? If I were to use this move again, I'm afraid I would die myself."
"That's true." Zhao Longhu sighed helplessly; he had actually guessed it. The force required to unleash that attack, opening one or two major acupoints, was a burden on the body that no ordinary person could withstand. In his view, the attacker had likely perished along with the attacker the moment the attack was delivered. Yet, after throwing the punch, Qin Wu remained standing, though his face had turned deathly pale. It was precisely because Qin Wu was still standing that the old man became wary and retreated. Otherwise, they would surely have died here today.
"Regardless, that old man has finally retreated. Let's leave quickly; this isn't the place to talk. The Three Fiends of Qianzhou never appear alone. His other two brothers are probably nearby. If we linger too long, they might catch up with us."
Hearing Zhao Longhu's words, Qin Wu nodded, fully aware of the situation. The two then immediately retreated. On the other side, the retreating thug initially felt immense panic, but the further he went, the more regretful he became. He had finally realized that while Qin Wu's punch was indeed powerful, Qin Wu's prolonged inaction indicated his condition was also very poor. Perhaps he should have acted decisively, as the outcome might have been different. However, there was no point in dwelling on it now. He could only grit his teeth in frustration. Just then, two figures appeared before him. Seeing him, they asked, "Third Brother, what happened to you?"
The speaker was also an old man, but he had a scar that ran across his entire face, and his expression was extremely fierce.
"Big brother," the third brother said, "I found Zhao Longhu, but unfortunately that guy got away."
Both were quite surprised to hear this. The scarred old man said, "With his strength, how could he possibly fight against you?"
The old man with the scar looked on with deep surprise.
The third brother said helplessly, "If it were just him alone, it wouldn't be so bad, but then a kid came along. That kid isn't very old, but he's quite skilled. At first, I could hold off the two of them working together. I was planning to hold out until you guys arrived, and then I could take them down. But suddenly, the kid who was supporting Zhao Longhu threw a punch that seriously injured me, and now I don't dare to move easily anymore."
Upon hearing this, both men frowned. Then the third brother continued, "In my opinion, whether Zhao Longhu lives or dies is no longer as important as that kid. If that kid continues to live, it won't be long before we, the Three Fiends of Qianzhou, are all doomed."
His eyes revealed fear. Qin Wu's strength was simply too great, so great that he dared not take any chances.
"Damn it!" the second brother, who had been silent until now, finally spoke through gritted teeth. "It's infuriating that we still haven't obtained the precious jade. If we had the Profound Yin Pearl, why would we need to worry about these things?"
"It doesn't matter. We have our eyes and ears all over this place. As long as they're still here, they won't be able to escape," the leader said, his face cold.
Meanwhile, Zhao Longhu was telling Qin Wu about the situation. Qin Wu was somewhat surprised when he heard about the Xuan Yin Pearl. Then Zhao Longhu said, "I was tricked by a demoness from the Demonic Sect this time. The demoness Liu Yan'er tricked me into doing something for her, which led me to a large tomb where I found the pearl. At first, I didn't know she was a demoness from the Demonic Sect, so I did it for her. I survived by the skin of my teeth and obtained the Xuan Yin Pearl, but I didn't expect her to run away with it the very next day."
Zhao Longhu spoke bitterly, though his eyes held a complex expression: "One day I will find Liu Yan'er again. Then I will definitely ask her why she did that. I helped her so much, why did she lie to me?"
At first, Qin Wu thought Zhao Longhu was really unlucky. But after hearing what he said next, Qin Wu was stunned. Was Zhao Longhu bewitched by Liu Yan'er? Otherwise, how could he be thinking about such things now?
Then Qin Wu spoke up, "Senior Brother Zhao, the Three Fiends of Qianzhou have appeared, and their target is the Profound Yin Pearl. This matter was likely leaked by Liu Yan'er. She not only stole the pearl, but more importantly, she wants your life!"
Zhao Longhu's expression was conflicted, then he gave a bitter smile: "How could I not know? But who can say for sure about matters of the heart? If possible, I still want to give her another chance."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu looked at him and remained silent for a long time.
