Despite Ye Liang's calm and composed demeanor, he was still meticulously calculating and estimating his true essence value.
The energy consumed by releasing the Profound Vein Sword Technique to shatter the three catapults can be disregarded.
Because the subsequent upgrade restored his health and mana to full, and he also gained a skill point, allowing him to learn a new skill.
Therefore, Ye Liangcai is able to use his skills so skillfully to fight against the bandit leader.
However, Ye Liang was still worried that his opponent was at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his strength and realm far surpassed his own. Therefore, his blood and qi, true essence, and other aspects were far superior to his own.
Therefore, in order to win, he had to be meticulous and calculate the expenditure of his true energy.
My current true energy is still sufficient.
The main point is that the Wind and Thunder Sword Light is a level 15 skill. Although it is extremely powerful, it is still only a level 15 skill. Activating it only costs less than 300 true essence.
With Ye Liang's current true essence value, it's enough for him to use it more than twenty times, and he'll still have some true essence left over.
Who could blame him when his basic skill, Qi Gathering and Yuan Condensation, was already maxed out, and after reaching level 15, he learned the basic mental cultivation method of the Bixian Sect, which greatly enhanced his Qi and Blood True Essence?
This is what allows Ye Liang, at the Qi Refining Realm, to directly challenge a Foundation Establishment Realm expert.
Without those previous improvements, Ye Liang would have been dead long ago!
However, even though there is still a lot of true energy left, it must be spent carefully.
Sect skills like the Profound Vein Sword Technique should absolutely not be used lightly.
This skill, while incredibly powerful—it could even shatter a sturdy catapult made of thick wood—consumes a tremendous amount of true energy. Activating it requires channeling the true essence of seven meridians into sword energy, and despite its immense power, the consumption of true essence is truly enormous.
After using the Profound Vein Sword Technique a few times, one's true essence is consumed considerably. After that, one feels that using skills becomes difficult and less effortless.
Therefore, this skill should be restricted in its use.
However, the Thunder Control Sword Technique is also a skill that does not consume much true essence, around five hundred true essence. Although it is higher than the Wind and Thunder Sword Aura, it is much better than the Profound Vein Sword Technique, which consumes nearly a thousand true essence at a time.
Right now, Ye Liang is well-equipped and full of energy. The only problem he needs to worry about is how to carefully manage his true energy.
Although this problem is fatal, it hasn't yet brought Ye Liang to the brink of despair.
Therefore, Ye Liang can still easily fight a protracted battle with the mountain bandit leader who is at the Foundation Establishment stage.
We're not afraid of wearing him down!
If all else fails, then he'll have to take a gamble. He'll gamble on using the Wind Control Technique to dodge the bandit leader's Crimson Flame Slash, then create distance between himself and the bandit leader, and then he can kite the bandit leader and beat him up.
Ye Liang is no longer the spoiled young master he used to be, who left everything to a game boosting company, doing nothing himself, knowing nothing, and only knowing how to use his god-level account to kill indiscriminately for fun. Now, after experiencing hardships and arriving in this unfamiliar fantasy world, he has been tempered and grown.
Now he can see how to fight.
The young master had already seen through the weakness of the bandit leader's Crimson Flame Slash, a sword-slashing technique.
That's the attack range!
It seems that the bandit leader's sword-slashing technique has a short attack range.
Although the bandit leader had the extension of the Crimson Flame Serpent attack, Ye Liang could sense that even with the extension of the Crimson Flame Serpent attack, the bandit leader's Crimson Flame Slash could not reach as far as any of his own moves.
Inside the Bixian Sect, by the lotus pond, when Ye Liang was testing his moves, whether it was the Wind and Thunder Sword Light or the Profound Vein Sword Technique, the attack damage could penetrate a jagged, thin rock and reach the cliff face opposite the lotus pond.
That attack range was far, far greater than the current distance, where the technique was just enough to reach and attack the bandit leader!
In fact, ever since Ye Liang discovered the weakness of this bandit leader, he had been subtly moving his feet backward every time he unleashed his Wind and Thunder Sword Light attack.
Each movement was small, so as not to attract the attention of the cunning Foundation Establishment stage bandit leader.
So Ye Liang waited, moved a little further, and suddenly created enough distance before launching a fatal attack on the bandit leader, a Foundation Establishment Realm expert!
Now, the young master is lying low.
We're just waiting for the right moment to strike!
Right now, it's a matter of comparing patience and wisdom.
The impatient one will die.
The person who isn't smart enough will die!
The person who makes the mistake will die.
In short, we absolutely cannot make any mistakes right now.
Just as the young master was silently admonishing himself, the bandit leader suddenly changed!
"Earth's Core Flame!"
The bandit leader suddenly changed his fighting style and moves.
Roaring, it unleashed a move called Earth Core Flame.
As soon as this move was made, magma-like energy surged from beneath the bandit leader's feet, and a fiery red magma enveloped his entire body, seemingly protecting him!
Have they finally changed their tactics?
It seems that the bandit leader was the first to lose his temper.
Actually, Ye Liang wasn't entirely right about this point.
The bandit leader wasn't actually losing patience; rather, his constantly depleted vital energy and true essence forced him to try and end the battle quickly.
