"Golden Finger?" Wu Di's breathing quickened. Just hearing the name, he knew it was no ordinary item. He would capture the man and seize the combat technique manual.
You should know that martial arts techniques are hard to find in this world, and combat skills are just as hard to find.
He had worked diligently for the Wu family for so long, and apart from receiving some spirit stones and medicinal herbs as offerings, he had only obtained some useless combat skill manuals. However, for a sixth-rank cultivator like him, those inferior combat skills were meaningless.
So for all these years, he has still only been able to use the Flame Blade that he obtained through a fortuitous encounter in his early years.
Now that he's getting older, his cultivation level has stagnated. If he wants to improve his combat power, he can only practice more combat skills. He was just worried about not finding one, but who knew that Zu'an would deliver himself to his doorstep.
Heaven has truly been kind to me. Knowing my need, it not only delivered my enemy to my doorstep but also provided me with advanced combat skills and even two Grandmaster-level storage bags.
He felt that all the luck he had accumulated in his hundred-odd years of life had not been as good as what he had today.
His heart burned with fervor, and he charged towards Zuan once more. His blade flashed with impenetrable speed, creating afterimages of blade energy. He was very satisfied with his performance today, having unleashed almost 120% of his strength.
He was confident that, even if he looked across the entire Bright Moon City, apart from the city lord, the principal, and a few heads of major families, no one else could rival him.
Zuan didn't dare to be careless either, and hurriedly used the Sunflower Illusion movement technique to dodge while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
The two exchanged blows for nearly a hundred moves.
In this process, Zuan not only adapted to his current speed and strength, but also thoroughly mastered all the different techniques of the Sunflower Finger.
Wu Di on the other side became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. At first, he held a steady advantage, but this guy was like an unkillable cockroach, always managing to hold on.
Later on, the opponent's finger technique became noticeably more skillful, gradually turning the tide and leaving the opponent struggling to keep up.
He became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, finally realizing that his opponent was using him as a training dummy.
Wu Di's anger level increased by 513!
He knew he couldn't continue like this, or he might really suffer a disastrous outcome.
So they changed their strategy and directly used brute force to overcome skill.
He gripped his long sword and plunged it into the ground, and a burst of intense flames spread outwards from him.
The flames resembled serpents, devouring anything they encountered.
"You rely on your agility to dodge everywhere, huh? Let's see how you dodge this indiscriminate attack!" Wu Di sneered.
Zuan's expression changed. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he hurriedly summoned Tai'a and used the Snowflake Divine Sword.
Although it didn't have the same power as Chu Chuyan's, which surrounded her with ice, snowflakes still began to fall, and the surrounding cold was enough to ward off the incoming flames.
"The Snowflake Divine Sword!" Wu Di's pupils contracted slightly. He remembered this vividly, for he had been defeated by Chu Chuyan's Snowflake Divine Sword back then.
Hmph, I don't believe you have the same skill as Chu Chuyan!
Besides, even if Chu Chuyan were here, I wouldn't lose to her again.
Enraged, Wu Di roared as flames surged on his longsword, "Sweep through the enemy ranks!"
He then raised the sword above his head, transforming it into a flaming blade tens of meters long, and slashed it down fiercely at Zu'an.
Zuan hurriedly used Sunflower Illusion Modified, instantly splitting into two figures and dodging to the sides.
A cold smile flashed across Wu Di's lips. He knew that his move was not so easy to dodge.
He channeled his inner energy, and the flaming greatsword he had slashed down instantly split into more than a dozen pieces, all slashing downwards at once.
If the initial strike was a linear attack, then these dozen or so simultaneous strikes have become a fan-shaped attack, which the opponent, no matter how skillful, cannot dodge.
A deafening roar!
A large expanse of land before them had turned into scorched earth. The green grass on it had long since disappeared, exposing the yellow soil beneath. Various broken stones were scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
"Burned to ashes?" Wu Di sneered. "That guy got off easy."
He felt a pang of regret, thinking it was a shame he couldn't get the "Golden Finger" manual. However, considering the astonishing combat power his opponent had displayed, he hadn't dared to hold back at all.
"You have no martial ethics! You shout about sweeping away thousands of troops, but you're actually using force to split Mount Hua?"
Just then, an angry voice came from behind.
Wu Di was shocked and hurriedly turned around to slash, but unfortunately, he was stabbed in the back by a finger just halfway up the knife. Then his whole body went limp and everything went dark.
His last thought was, "How did this guy even get behind me?"
Zuan was panting heavily. A sixth-grade cultivator was indeed powerful. If it weren't for his sister, the Empress, strengthening his training and creating a third figure, he might have been killed by that move.
Therefore, he dared not hold back and seized the opportunity to strike the opponent's vital point with the "Sunflower Finger". However, he did not expect the opponent to be so vulnerable and was killed instantly.
If I had known this would happen, I should have used less effort; that way, I could have slowly gained some anger points.
However, thinking that Wu Di had already used up all his skills and there was no point in keeping him around, he quickly felt much better.
While regulating his somewhat chaotic breathing, Zaun recalled the details of the battle that had just taken place.
He had fought against strong opponents before, but he had mostly relied on various cheats provided by the keyboard system to catch them off guard. This was the first time he had defeated an opponent fair and square through his cultivation and martial arts skills.
After a long while, Zu'an recovered and went to Wu Di's side to retrieve the storage bags of Old Man Mi and Wei Dan.
