Chapter 407 A man who hunts geese all day long suddenly gets pecked in the eye by one.
In response to what Yaoyue said, Dongfang Bubai, who was hidden in the blood mist, let out a cold snort.
However, as he sensed the state of his internal energy, Dongfang Bubai felt a little solemn.
Dongfang Bubai knew that what Yaoyue said was not wrong. The main reason why Dongfang Bubai chose to control the area covered by the blood mist within three zhang instead of reaching ten zhang like Yaoyue's sword domain was the problem of true essence consumption.
Now, Yaoyue is taking the initiative to use the "Four Symbols of Heavenly Will" to forcibly destroy the blood mist that Dongfang Bubai has condensed. Each time it is re-condensed, Dongfang Bubai's true essence is consumed even faster.
Over time, Dongfang Bubai will inevitably fall into a state of exhaustion of true energy.
As his thoughts raced, Dongfang Bubai's expression hardened slightly.
If it were an ordinary person, after understanding the current problem, they might already be thinking about a quick victory and speeding up the attack on Yaoyue.
However, Dongfang Bubai did not speed up his attack on Yaoyue at all.
On the contrary, when attacking Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai's attack frequency actually decreased.
Even more so, each time he made a move, his attacks on Yaoyue became more cunning.
Amidst the blood mist, sensing Dongfang Bubai's current condition, Yaoyue frowned slightly.
"You think I'll do as you please, hoping to slow down the frequency of your attacks and thus reduce the rate at which your true energy is consumed?"
After speaking, Yaoyue once again condensed a phantom image of her Dharma body, dispersing the surrounding blood mist.
This time, after Yaoyue dispersed the surrounding blood mist by condensing the illusory image of the Dharma Image, the moment the true essence of the condensed Dharma Image dissipated, in Dongfang Bubai's sight, the true essence that had just dispersed actually stopped dissipating and returned to Yaoyue's body.
Upon noticing this, Dongfang Bubai's expression changed slightly.
"You actually mastered the ninth level of the Mingyu Skill?"
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue revealed a smug smile and said, "Do you think your strength has improved in such a short time?"
In the world of martial arts, no matter how profound the skill, it always consumes internal energy when used. This is why throughout history, countless geniuses have created various ingenious and unparalleled techniques. The goal is to avoid wasting a single drop of true energy and achieve absolute control over the body's internal energy.
However, everything that reaches its peak will decline, and things will reverse when they reach their extreme. Even the gentlest things can turn into fierce and violent forces. Many people believe that the so-called absolute control is nothing but a pipe dream.
However, "Mingyu Gong" is not included in this category.
Once the Mingyu Gong reaches the ninth level of perfection, one's internal energy will not be depleted when fighting enemies, only physical strength will be consumed. While fighting, one's internal energy will also be contained, and the true energy in the body will be continuously generated, reaching the state of "perfect clarity and understanding".
Just like now, after the true essence is depleted, the special true essence cultivated by the Mingyu Gong can return to Yaoyue's body under her control.
In addition, with the automatic recovery of true essence circulating within the body, the consumption of true essence by Yaoyue is almost negligible.
Once again, Yaoyue conjured a phantom image of her Dharma form, shattering the blood mist that had just covered the surroundings. She then continued to absorb the surrounding true essence back into her body and sneered, "If you want to play, I can play with you for a whole day. I just don't know if your true essence is enough to support you playing like this with me."
As she spoke, a hint of smugness crept across Yaoyue's face.
Since its inception, only the first generation of the Yihua Palace master successfully cultivated the Mingyu Gong to the ninth level.
Now that Yaoyue has been able to cultivate the Mingyu Gong to the ninth level, she is obviously in a great mood.
Seeing Yaoyue's smug expression, Dongfang Bubai's face darkened, and his heart became serious.
Dongfang Bubai knew that Yaoyue's strength would definitely improve during this period.
However, Dongfang Bubai did not expect that Yaoyue would be able to cultivate the Mingyu Gong to the ninth level during this period of time.
When one achieves perfect clarity and understanding, the true essence within the body is continuously generated.
After a moment of mental activity, Dongfang Bubai once again mobilized his true energy.
In an instant, billowing crimson smoke spread out from Dongfang Bubai's center.
"Stubborn and obstinate".
After a cold laugh in her heart, her true essence began to surge out of Yaoyue's body and begin to condense in the sky.
However, just as Yaoyue's true essence was rapidly circulating within her body and gathering the illusory image of her Dharma form once again, more than a dozen sword energies suddenly shot towards her.
It moved so fast that it reached Yaoyue in an instant.
Moreover, the sword energy was aimed at a major acupoint on Yaoyue's body.
Once hit, Yaoyue's true energy will inevitably stagnate, giving Dongfang Bubai an opportunity to strike.
In response, Yaoyue had no choice but to change the route of her internal energy circulation, flipping her palms to crush the dozen or so sword energies in the air with special force.
However, due to that brief delay, the blood mist that Dongfang Bubai had condensed had once again enveloped Yaoyue.
And the instant the blood mist enveloped Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai had already moved in front of Yaoyue and raised his hand to point directly at Yaoyue's shoulder, forcing Yaoyue to raise her hand to deal with it.
But just like before, the moment their palms met, Dongfang Bubai used the recoil from the palm strike to instantly disappear into the blood mist.
Unlike before, when Dongfang Bubai hid behind the surrounding blood mist and chose to remain hidden, constantly looking for weaknesses to attack while creating psychological pressure on Yaoyue.
This time, as Dongfang Bubai disappeared into the blood mist, a hundred sword energies shot towards Yaoyue from different angles.
The sword energy continued to rush towards Yaoyue's major acupoints as it passed through.
This forced Yaoyue to withdraw her attention and deal with the situation.
"Are you trying to restrict my use of the 'Four Symbols of Heavenly Will' in this way?"
