Chapter 198 Slightly at a disadvantage
In the nameless valley, Lu Qing and Wei Shanhai were fighting to a standstill.
The splashing sword energy and powerful energy cut cracks in the mud and sand on the riverbed in the valley, which was very horrifying.
Ma Gu and Wei Zian on the hillside were already stunned, watching the scene in horror.
Even Wei Shanhai was filled with disbelief.
He didn't expect that even though he had used his innate true energy, he still couldn't defeat Lu Qing quickly. He could only suppress him and gain a slight advantage.
And this advantage is not guaranteed, because Lu Qing is extremely resilient. Even when he is at a disadvantage, his swordsmanship is still extremely sharp.
If you are not careful, he may turn the tables in an instant.
At the same time, Wei Shanhai was also shocked by Lu Qing's physical strength.
Logically speaking, a warrior who uses explosive secret techniques will consume his energy very quickly, and the burst will definitely not be sustainable.
However, Lu Qing had been fighting with him for such a long time, but his physical strength showed no signs of weakening, and even his breathing was not disordered. He had been terrifyingly calm for a long time.
I don’t know what kind of secret explosive method Lu Qing used. Not only is the power it explodes extraordinary, it is comparable to the initial stage of the innate realm.
It's incredible that the effect lasts so long.
"Do I have to use secret techniques as well?"
After a long battle, this thought suddenly popped up in Wei Shanhai's mind.
But he quickly rejected the idea.
Are you kidding? As an innate realm master, he was competing with a junior in the acquired realm. It would have been too embarrassing if he failed to defeat the opponent quickly, but if he had to use secret techniques, it would have been too embarrassing.
As Wei Shanhai's mind was in turmoil, he and Lu Qing exchanged swords again.
Bang!
There was another crisp sound.
All this happened not because of Wei Shanhai's sword energy that was shattered, but because the sword in Lu Qing's hand could no longer withstand the powerful pressure and exploded instantly.
Lu Qing swayed his body slightly to avoid the scattered sword fragments and took a few steps back.
He looked at the hilt in his hand and Wei Shanhai's almost intact sword, and sighed.
The Qi and blood power of the acquired realm is ultimately no match for the innate Qi obtained by refining the essence of heaven and earth.
Although he tried his best to use the power of qi and blood to protect the sword in his hand, the sword still shattered in the continuous collisions.
On the contrary, Wei Shanhai's sword, which was blessed with innate true energy, was not seriously damaged.
"Young Master Lu, do you want to continue the sparring? I remember you have a divine sword that you forged yourself. Would you like to bring it over?"
Wei Shanhai also felt sorry when he saw Lu Qing's sword broken into pieces.
He was enjoying the fight, as Lu Qing's sword skills were more profound than his.
During the fight with Lu Qing, he actually felt faintly that his sword intent had also shown signs of improvement.
The sudden interruption made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"No need." Lu Qing shook his head. "This battle has benefited me a lot. I have also gained a lot of insights into the confusion in my heart. Thank you, Senior Wei, for your help."
"Oh, you have some insights?" Wei Shanhai was a little surprised. "Have you seen the way forward and felt the opportunity to enter the Xiantian realm?"
After learning that Lu Qing had already reached perfection in the acquired realm, Wei Shanhai subconsciously thought that the bottleneck Lu Qing mentioned was the barrier from the acquired realm to the innate realm.
"I guess so." Lu Qing nodded. "The path to the Xiantian realm is already quite clear in my eyes. Once I accumulate more experience, it shouldn't be difficult to break through."
"That's great!"
Wei Shanhai was very pleased that Lu Qing was able to gain something, and it was worth his time as a sparring partner.
"Senior Wei, when you sparred with me earlier, how much strength did you use?"
Lu Qing asked a very important question.
"In terms of conventional strength, I have almost used all I can. If we continue fighting, I'm afraid I can only use secret techniques to defeat you." Wei Shanhai said truthfully.
At the same time, the feeling in my heart is quite complicated.
His words were not just polite remarks.
He had indeed almost used all his strength just now.
Except for not using the secret method of the innate realm, he has almost pushed his innate true qi to the extreme.
Normally, a martial artist at the Xiantian realm, even without using any secret techniques, could easily crush any martial arts master who had reached the perfection of the inner viscera realm with just his innate true qi.
But he never thought that Lu Qing was so powerful. Relying on his explosive secret method, the power he unleashed was not much weaker than his.
Coupled with his more sophisticated swordsmanship, Wei Shanhai was unable to do anything to Lu Qing in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, and seeing that Lu Qing's breath still showed no sign of weakening, Wei Shanhai could no longer hold back.
He asked, "Mr. Lu, what secret technique did you use just now that was so powerful that it allowed you to burst out with power comparable to that of the initial stage of the innate realm?"
"That was an inheritance that I obtained by chance. I also practiced for a long time before I perfected it."
Lu Qing said vaguely.
The perfect explosion can be regarded as a secret method he created originally, and the key lies in his own extremely powerful spiritual power.
The Soul Talisman is one of Lu Qing's biggest trump cards. Even his master had not been told by him, so he naturally would not reveal it easily.
"I see."
When Wei Shanhai heard this, he knew that Lu Qing didn't want to elaborate, so he tactfully didn't ask any further questions.
"Ancestor, Doctor Lu Qing!"
At this time, Wei Zian and Ma Gu also came down from the hillside, with shock on their faces.
Wei Zian, in particular, was extremely excited.
The look he gave Lu Qing was full of admiration: "Doctor Lu Qing, you are so amazing. It's incredible that you can even fight the old ancestor to a draw!"
"I dare not claim that it is a draw. Didn't you see that my knife is broken?" Lu Qing said with a smile, "If we continue to fight, I am unarmed and cannot be defeated by Senior Wei in one move."
"Young master, you are too modest. I only took advantage of a little bit of the innate true energy. If you use your magic weapon, it is hard to say who will win or lose." Wei Shanhai had a different opinion.
"The old senior also has his own magic weapon. In this case, I still lose..."
The group of people, flattering each other, slowly left the valley.
After coming out of the mountains and saying goodbye to Wei Shanhai and the others, Lu Qing returned home, took a rest, and after recovering his strength, he slowly thought about what he had gained from this exchange.
There was one thing that Lu Qing lied to Wei Shanhai about.
He wanted to compete with him, not because he had hit a bottleneck in his own practice.
As a person with special powers, he naturally possesses skills that are almost instantaneous.
There was almost no technique that he could not comprehend.
In his eyes, the boundary between acquired and innate has long been clear. There is not a trace of confusion and he can cross it at any time.
It was just some kind of intuition that prevented him from taking this step.
The real purpose of Lu Qing inviting Wei Shanhai to compete was that he wanted to experience the power of the Innate Realm for himself and find out how powerful the Innate Realm is.
Then you can use it as a reference for your next actions.
