The Nine Cauldrons

Book 8 Chapter 17 The Most Powerful Technique

Teng Qingshan had been studying meticulously recently.

He noticed that—

Because the shaft of the Reincarnation Spear lacked the sharpness of a blade, the power of a slash using the spear shaft wasn’t great! When the same one million six hundred thousand jin of force was exerted, the power exhibited by the slash of the spear shaft and the power exhibited by the thrust of a speartip were very different. Before Teng Qingshan obtained the Ninth Technique, he had this puzzling thought, but he had never really figured it out.

However, after he obtained the ninth of the thirty-six stone inscriptions, his confusion soon disappeared as he comprehended it.

The speartip was powerful! The strength was all concentrated into a single point; therefore, its penetrating strength was the most powerful.

What about the spear shaft?

The spear shaft had its own benefit. Although it was unable to concentrate the strength into a single point, the pliability and toughness of the spear shaft allowed Teng Qingshan to release an attack that could ‘strike a cow located a mountain away!’ The speartip couldn’t release an attack like this, but the spear shaft was perfect for it.

After Teng Qingshan tested and pondered upon it, he finally created the fifth technique—Slashing Mountain!

“I said that the heavens are fair! The Six Legged Bladelike Chi does have a strong physical defense. It also has two pairs of wings and six bladelike legs. However, it was just as I predicted. Its internal organs are not very durable. The energy of this attack has injured it.” At this moment, Teng Qingshan felt even more confident that he could win the Six Legged Bladelike Chi.

“Roar~~”

A loud and furious roar sounded and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flew rapidly to the sky above Teng Qingshan. It brandished its six long legs, all of which attacked Teng Qingshan at the same time! As the six bladelike legs were brandished, the upper section of the tree that Teng Qingshan was standing on was actually slashed into pieces. Some of it was slashed into dust.

The six long legs assaulted Teng Qingshan from all directions.

“Smart enough. It took you a very short time to find the weak point of this technique,” Teng Qingshan smiled.

The technique Slashing Mountain did have a weak point.

When Teng Qingshan first created the ‘Toxic Dragon Drill,’ each time he used it, there was a brief moment where he lost control of the spear. Of course, the ‘Toxic Dragon Drill’ was now perfect. However, the ‘Slashing Mountain’ had a process of strength accumulation. If the enemy attacked rapidly, there would be no time to accumulate force and perform this technique.

Secondly, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi could use its six legs and attack from all directions.

When Teng Qingshan slashed out with his Reincarnation Spear, he could only slash towards one leg, while the other five could totally injure Teng Qingshan greatly in an instant.

This was the weak point!

“Haha, Six Legged Bladelike Chi, you will definitely lose today.” Teng Qingshan leaped down towards the ground, while the Six Legged Bladelike Chi flew downwards as it encircled and attacked Teng Qingshan rapidly.

With a turn of his right hand and the turn of the Reincarnation Spear, Teng Qingshan changed his technique to the ‘Transmutation Unity Qi.’

Clang, clang, clang~~~

A series of clashes sounded, causing the earth to shake and the trees to turn into dust. A great amount of dust permeated the air.

In the midst of the diffusing dust, Teng Qingshan, who appeared to be wearing battle armor, dodged rapidly in a flash, but, at this moment, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi slashed one of its long legs downward forcefully. The earth and the mountain shook, causing the rocky ground to crack. A large amount of crushed rocks flew in all directions like concealed weapons, many of which hit Teng Qingshan.

Yet the battle armor formed by Teng Qingshan’s supreme force only vibrated slightly and resolved the force of the impacts with ease.

“In the past, I always thought that the strength of this Six Legged Bladelike Chi was extremely high. Now, in my opinion, its strength should be equivalent to my current strength.” After the brief fight, Teng Qingshan finally knew how great the strength of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was! The explosive physical strength of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi should also be around one million six hundred thousand jin.
