Qi and blood are also being lost!

The wound has reopened!

This damage comes from the tearing effect of Ye Liang's Golden Wolf Helmet skill.

Now, this bandit leader will have to bear the consequences.

Of course, Ye Liang is currently also affected by the burning effect of the Crimson Flame Slash, and his blood is being lost. However, the Golden Wolf Helmet also has a Bloodlust effect, so the blood loss is negligible for Ye Liang due to the offsetting effect of the Bloodlust.

In other words, this seemingly comical combination of a golden wolf helmet and boar skin armor, while undeniably ridiculous to wear, is actually a lifesaver.

Without the Golden Wolf Helmet and the +9 enhancement to the Wild Boar Hide Armor, Ye Liang's weak body, even with the Young Master's aura, wouldn't be able to withstand a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, given his Qi Refining Realm cultivation level.

After all, the difference in strength is undeniable!

The gap is as vast as heaven and earth.

At this moment, Ye Liang could only make up for the difference in their cultivation levels by using equipment.

Golden Wolf Helmet Enhancement +9!

Crimson Blood Pigskin Armor Enhancement +9!

The two True Immortal equipment dropped by the Beast Kings, plus the upgrades Ye Liang made, were enough to bridge the huge gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Qi Refining Realm. This allowed Ye Liang, at the Qi Refining Realm level, to fight one-on-one against the Foundation Establishment Realm bandit leader, whose realm was far superior to his.

Trying to fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator while only at the Qi Refining stage, and trying to ignore the huge gap in their cultivation levels, is something that not many people can do.

To achieve that, you need to have at least some extraordinary equipment, like Ye Liang.

It's best to strengthen it. Otherwise, you might not be able to withstand a high-damage skill from a Foundation Establishment realm expert.

After all, the gap between different levels of understanding is something no one can ignore.

These are the rules, ironclad rules, and they will not change because of anyone or any special status!

"Look! There's a red fire dragon!"

"What fire dragon? It's a four-legged fire snake!"

"What are those? Three sword beams? That's amazing!"

"I can see the sword light flashing even from this far away, it's really amazing!"

The villagers of Xiaoxianzhuang, witnessing Ye Liang's duel with the bandit leader and the clash between the Wind and Thunder Sword and the Crimson Flame Slash, felt as if they were Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden for the first time; the shock was truly heart-wrenching.

I've never seen such a dazzling skill before.

Is this a divine skill?

Indeed extraordinary.

It is beyond the imagination and reach of ordinary people.

“These three gentlemen and ladies are probably not ordinary people. We just want to ask, can the Bixian Sect win this time?” Li Xiaoliu asked the three elderly people beside him with great excitement. They had ordinary auras, but their temperaments were still unfathomable.

Normally, they have hunched backs, and who would have thought that these three people are actually quite unassuming?

"I think it's possible." They weren't sure about this answer.

"At least for now, it seems they are evenly matched. What do you think?" Granny Du nodded thoughtfully.

The other two exchanged a glance, and then immediately echoed, "It seems so."

"Uncles and aunties, why have they stopped fighting?" They were puzzled when they saw that the fight had stopped and came over to ask for advice.

"The bandits have stopped moving. What's going on? Are they in a standoff?" they speculated.

To this question, Grandma Du became embarrassed and replied, "We want to know too. But it's too far away, we really can't see what's happening over there. It's all just speculation."

"Oh. I really wish I could get closer to see. This battle is so exciting! It would be a shame to miss it!" These people said, eagerly anticipating it but knowing it was unrealistic.

If the Bixian Sect is defeated, wouldn't they be captured and wiped out by the victorious bandits if they went to watch?

Therefore, no matter how curious they were, they could only stand far away and watch.

I wanted to go up and take a look, but I couldn't.

——

When they were both in control of each other and neither could move, Ye Liang and the bandit leader's thoughts naturally wouldn't stop churning.

They were all contemplating matters of life and death.

What's the next move?

For Ye Liang, the current challenge is choosing how to allocate skill points!

Just now, when he used his true energy to penetrate the bandit leader, the penetration effect killed an additional five or six bandits, and the experience gained allowed him to level up.

Now, he can add some new skills.

Currently, he faces two choices regarding the skills he can allocate points to.

One is a movement skill, Wind Riding Technique. It allows you to fly with the wind, escaping or chasing enemies at a relatively high speed, and comes with a dash charge effect, increasing the damage of the next attack by 5.

One is a defensive skill, Protective True Essence! It sacrifices one's own True Essence to absorb and resist damage, increasing the ability to withstand skill damage. When damaged, it unleashes the power of True Essence, rapidly increasing its damage absorption capacity and the percentage of damage absorbed. Simultaneously, influenced by the True Essence activation, it increases attack power by 10, accuracy by 100, and evasion by 200!

Ye Liang had to make a choice in the blink of an eye.

Otherwise, it will be too late.

This is when a person's decisiveness and character are tested.

If you hesitate and look back and forth, then you might as well wait to die!

You either miss out, or you make the wrong choice.

Ye Liang made his choice in an instant: add points to his skill, Wind Control Technique!

Although the Protective True Essence skill looks better.
