Wang Long staggered back dozens of steps, finally stopping when his right foot left a footprint several tens of centimeters deep on the ground.
The old man in gray also took a dozen steps back, then turned around gracefully and landed steadily in place.
The difference in strength between the two sides is immediately apparent.
A look of shock flashed in Wang Long's eyes. He was now strong enough to easily defeat even a King-level opponent, but this old guy was clearly a bit stronger than him.
This means that this person's strength definitely exceeds the King level. When did Shangjing City gain such a figure?
Perhaps only Ling Feng could handle him in the entire War God Base!
Just as Wang Long was shocked, the gray-robed old man also looked surprised.
He hadn't expected this young man to be so strong. After all, he was a powerhouse beyond the King level, and was considered one of the strongest in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
In a place like Handong, a powerhouse of this caliber can basically roam freely.
Even though the neighboring Jiangnan Province is full of powerful people, not counting those old guys, I can rank in the top ten. But in a small place like Shangjing City, someone actually managed to withstand one of my moves!
That's really something.
"Kid, you've got some skills! In Handong Province, you're the first person who can withstand one of my palm strikes!"
The old man in gray had a profound expression on his face.
Wang Long shook his slightly sore hand and gave a cold smile.
"You're only slightly better than me, and you're still putting on airs! With your skill level, you'd be begging for mercy if you met our leader!"
"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent? Then let me show you my true skills!"
The old man in gray suddenly drew his longsword, twirled it, and produced a series of crisp metallic sounds.
The longsword, illuminated by the light, emitted a chilling gleam.
A faint aura of sword energy swirled around the longsword, giving it an extraordinary appearance.
Wang Long's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the long sword in the old man's hand!
Sword energy could be seen around the longsword; is this really not cultivation?
That's truly unheard of.
Is this the effect that only those above the King level can possess?
The old man, wielding a long sword, quickly approached Wang Long. The sword flashed like a silver dragon, swiftly thrusting towards Wang Long's vital points.
The longsword gleamed with a mysterious aura as it was enveloped in sword energy, which in turn caused ripples in the surrounding air.
Facing a sword thrusting rapidly towards him, Wang Long felt the threat posed by the sword's energy even from a distance of half a meter.
Knowing he couldn't withstand the blow head-on, he quickly used all his strength to back away.
The longsword narrowly missed Wang Long's chest.
The fierce sword energy cut a neat crack in the hard, frozen snow on the ground.
Wang Long felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down to check.
A long tear was cut into the combat uniform on the chest, revealing the skin underneath.
A 20-centimeter-long wound on his chest, deep enough to expose the bone, was gushing blood, looking extremely horrifying.
When the team members saw that Wang Long was injured, they rushed forward to check on him and surrounded him.
More than a hundred people quickly changed formation and formed an offensive posture!
Wang Long quickly pulled a golden pill from his shirt pocket. Ling Feng had given it to him before leaving, instructing him to take it when he was seriously injured!
Wang Long was initially arrogant and thought he didn't need it, but Ling Feng insisted on giving it to him, so he reluctantly accepted it in the end.
Unexpectedly, it really came down to using him, and Wang Long swallowed the pill.
The wound on his chest healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the weakness caused by excessive blood loss also disappeared completely.
Moreover, it seems that my strength has improved a bit!
Wang Long was shocked. He never expected that this golden pill would have such a miraculous effect!
Wang Long stood up energetically and looked at the gray-robed old man opposite him!
The old man in gray appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly deeply shaken.
He had witnessed everything Wang Long had just done. Wang Long had been severely injured by his sword energy, but now he not only seemed unharmed, but his aura was also subtly rising again.
Just because he ate a golden pill!
Such a miraculous medicine exists in the world! I have cultivated myself for decades and this is the first time I have ever seen it!
"What kind of medicine did you take! Give me the formula, and I might consider sparing your life!"
Wang Long's lips curled up slightly.
"This medicine was exclusively formulated by our leader. If you want it, you can go to him! He's a very easy person to talk to, and he might just give it to you if he's in a good mood!"
The old man in gray robes' eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke coldly.
"In that case, call your leader now and tell him to come see me, or you will all die!"
Wang Long looked at him with ill intent and laughed.
Are you sure?
"Stop talking nonsense and make the call!"
A cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes.
All of Wang Long's team members looked at him with righteous indignation, wishing they could rush up and fight him.
They are all special forces soldiers full of courage and passion; they would never tolerate such treatment.
However, Wang Long stopped them all.
"Don't be impulsive! This person is too strong. Even if you all attack together, you won't be a match for him. Stay calm!"
Wang Long calmed everyone down, took out a satellite phone, and made a call to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng, who was taking drugs in the training room, was absorbing the energy of the inner core.
What he absorbed were the upgraded inner cores of the two king-level superhumans he had just killed last night.
The energy contained within is 10 times that of a super-powered individual, allowing Ling Feng's strength to reach a terrifying 9000 points.
In addition, he gained a spatial ability and an illusion ability.
Because his spatial ability overlapped with the system's spatial performance, his space was upgraded as a result.
The spatial replication system has increased from 100 times to 110 times.
This discovery thrilled Ling Feng. Although it only increased tenfold, it would greatly benefit his future strength.
The illusion ability works by creating an illusion, immersing the enemy in a virtual world from which they cannot escape.
However, Ling Feng felt that this ability wouldn't be very useful to him, since he followed a more forceful and aggressive path.
He can defeat enemies with a single punch, so there's no need to use this special ability.
In addition to these, his brain development has reached 95% this time, and he is now much stronger in terms of mental power, even approaching his physical strength.
Just as Ling Feng was feeling the changes in his body, Wang Long called.
"Fengzi, we've run into some trouble at the Yanwu base. They have a master who surpasses the King level!"
Ling Feng's expression shifted. Surpassing the King level?
"Are you alright?"
"He stabbed me with his sword, but I took the medicine you gave me and I'm fine now! That guy specifically asked you to come here, or he would kill us!"
Send me your location, I'm coming right now!
Ling Feng hung up the phone, a cold glint flashing in his eyes!
