Ling Wushang spoke with great bravado, but in reality, he was quite nervous.
In his prime, he was lucky to be able to face two opponents of the same level. Now, in this crippled state, he has to face three mid-stage Emperor Realm opponents and two early-stage Emperor Realm opponents.
He had absolutely no confidence.
Duanmu Zhen revealed a relaxed expression, "Hehe, since that's the case, then let me test your methods first."
Ouyang Xiaojun and Chu Xiao remained silent, watching quietly.
Duanmu Zhen pointed a finger at Ling Wushang, and a beam of annihilating light shot out from his right index finger.
Everyone present could feel the terrifying power of this light, which carried an invincible and terrifying force, accompanied by a piercing sound.
At the point where the light pointed, Xiao Fang exclaimed in surprise, "Duanmu Zhen is getting serious right from the start, and he used the Duanmu family's secret technique right away."
Chu Xiao looked at the terrifying finger light and nodded, saying, "Indeed, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Annihilation Finger among them."
Ouyang Xiaojun chuckled and said, "Duanmu Zhen is really in a hurry, but Ling Wushang is no pushover either."
Ling Wushang felt the extremely sharp finger light, his expression became serious and focused, and he swung his Star-Shattering Hammer to smash it down.
The swinging hammer stirred up a storm, sweeping in all the surrounding psionic energy.
Clang.
Duanmu Zhen's Destruction Finger was smashed away by Ling Wushang's hammer.
However, Ling Wushang was also not in good shape. He was so shocked that he took several steps back, and he forcibly suppressed the mouthful of blood in his chest.
He knew full well that in the current situation, he couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum.
However, he also sensed the power of the Duanmu family. Duanmu Zhen's method was so powerful that the Duanmu family was indeed full of hidden talents.
Ouyang Xiaojun, who was watching from the sidelines, commented casually:
"As expected of the Duanmu family's unique skill, this finger technique is indeed remarkable. However, Ling Wushang is also very impressive. It can be seen that he was actually injured, but he still managed to withstand it."
Chu Xiao, Xiao Fang, and the others had no objection to this. Although Duanmu Zhen was powerful, they knew that it was impossible to take down Ling Wushang so easily.
Duanmu Zhen himself was well aware of this, and nodded to Ling Wushang, "Ling Wushang, you truly live up to your reputation, let's go again."
He pointed again, this time with a completely different style than before.
The previous Annihilation Finger was a thin, extremely fast stream of light; this time, a finger as thick as a pillar of heaven suddenly appeared and smashed towards Ling Wushang.
The colossal pillar, hundreds of feet long, resembles a solid pillar of heaven, giving it a feeling of even greater weight than mountains.
Its speed is also very fast, which is quite inconsistent with its huge size.
Its immense power and overwhelming pressure create a suffocating sense of oppression.
Seeing this, Lin Ming secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, "The Duanmu family truly lives up to its reputation as one of the four great families that dominate the East; their finger technique is indeed remarkable."
The others nodded in agreement.
Ling Wushang's expression grew even more solemn. He swung the Shattering Star Hammer again, roared, his body trembled, and his aura surged once more as he slammed the hammer down.
This hammer is named "Heaven-Shaking".
The Heaven-Piercing Finger met the Earth-Shaking Hammer.
Rumble.
The explosions were incessant, sometimes like mountains collapsing, sometimes like thunder in the sky.
This time, Ling Wushang did not retreat, but the pent-up anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed.
He spat it out with a "pfft".
He accepted Duanmu Zhen's move, but he felt no joy; in fact, he was inwardly groaning.
The opponent definitely has more moves, and so does he.
But if Duanmu Zhen is like this, then the others are not to be underestimated either. This can't go on; he can't hold on for much longer.
Seeing this scene from afar, Ling Yunbo's tense mood relaxed; no matter how strong Ling Wushang was, he was not invincible.
Ling Yunfei, on the other hand, felt uneasy upon seeing Ling Wushang vomit blood.
But he couldn't help either. Ling Wushang had told him that he was confident he could win against Xiao Fang and Lin Mingta.
However, they did not expect that this matter would become more and more complicated, with even Duanmu, Ouyang and the Chu family getting involved.
This was all thanks to his elder brother, Ling Yunbo, who was always thinking of the Ling family.
Ling Yunfei was at his wit's end. If Ling Wushang couldn't hold on any longer, he would have to resort to the last resort: summoning an imperial weapon.
The other members of the Ling family were deeply worried when they saw that Ling Wushang, their pillar of support, was showing signs of collapse.
Ling Yuwei frowned deeply, while Ling Hao was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
Qin Feng remained relatively calm. He could tell that Ling Wushang's condition wasn't as bad as he had imagined, but dealing with three mid-stage Emperor Realm cultivators and two early-stage Emperor Realm cultivators would indeed be quite a challenge.
On the battlefield of the Imperial Realm.
Duanmu Zhen looked at Ling Wushang and said:
"Fellow Daoist Wushang, don't persist in vain. I know you're not in good shape, and I have so many teammates around me. You only have yourself. You can't win."
Ling Wushang knew that the other party was right and that he had no chance of winning this battle, but behind him was his family, so how could he back down?
He couldn't let the Ling family fall into the hands of Ling Yunbo and his ilk, because that would completely destroy the Ling family.
He won't allow it, absolutely not.
At least not while Ling Wushang was alive.
"Hmph, enough with the nonsense, let's fight first."
This time, Ling Wushang did not wait for the opponent to attack; he took the initiative to launch an attack.
He swung the sledgehammer, creating a storm, and charged toward Duanmu Zhen.
However, Ling Wushang's actions seemed somewhat hysterical to Xiao Fang and the others.
Seeing that his persuasion had no effect and the other party had taken the initiative to attack, Duanmu Zhen snorted coldly, "Stubborn to the end, then let me take him down first."
Ling Wushang's hammer was already coming down, and Duanmu Zhen flicked out another finger technique.
