In an instant.
A battle saber, evolved from true qi, appeared in front of Buck, exuding a terrifying death intent.
Death intent.
This was an intent Buck had comprehended as a four-star War God.
After breaking through to five-star War God, his understanding of death intent reached a new level.
The intent of death merged into his body, and every piece of flesh and blood, every wisp of true qi within him contained death intent.
He was like the embodiment of death intent in the mortal world, every move, every action imbued with death intent.
At this moment, his strike was his ultimate ultimate skill, "Death Saber Technique."
Boom!!
The death saber evolved from true qi materialized, Buck's front exploded directly, stirring up terrifying airflow. The airflow enveloped the death saber and slashed towards Jiang Wuming, with a fearsome momentum!
The terrifying death intent, centered around the true qi saber, enveloped all directions. The surrounding flowers, grass, and trees instantly withered and died.
Jiang Wuming was also within the range of death intent, his heart trembled, and a sense of deadly crisis filled his mind.
However, Jiang Wuming did not show the slightest panic, nor did he dodge.
The moment Buck made his move, he activated the forbidden technique of the Daoist sect's mysterious inner strength cultivation method, burning his true qi. At the same time, the mysterious gate within his body opened wide, and secret power surged out, merging with the burning true qi to evolve the God-Slaying Saber.
The fifth form of the God-Slaying Saber Technique, Forbidden Technique—
God-Slaying!
Facing Buck, who was at the first stage of five-star War God, Jiang Wuming showed no carelessness. He immediately activated two forbidden techniques.
The true qi God-Slaying Saber appeared and instantly slashed towards the whistling death saber.
Boom!!
In a flash of lightning, the two true qi sabers collided in mid-air, resulting in a violent explosion, both vanishing simultaneously. Terrifying energy waves swept outwards, turning the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees into powder.
At the same time, Jiang Wuming and Buck, relying on their protective true qi, blocked the sweeping energy waves, standing their ground without moving.
It was a draw!
In the first exchange, Jiang Wuming, who was only at the third-star War God realm, had nullified Buck's attack!
"He blocked it?"
"He's just a three-star War God, how could he possibly nullify Buck's attack?!"
Seeing this, the members of the Saint West Gang widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
In their eyes, Buck had already broken through to the first stage of five-star War God, and one move was enough to instantly kill Jiang Wuming!
"Boss will win!"
The response they received was Xing Tian's roar.
Although he had the blind faith in his heart that Jiang Wuming could kill Buck, he was still somewhat worried before the battle began.
It was only now, after seeing Jiang Wuming clash with Buck and not being at a disadvantage, that he completely relaxed.
Not only him, but Dongfang Xiaoyao and Huangfu Weixia felt the same.
Only Qin Xiaozhi remained calm.
Black Widow Jessica and the three-star War Gods of the War Dragon Hall, however, breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with excitement.
Although they didn't know how Jiang Wuming could nullify Buck's attack as a three-star War God, it wasn't important to them. What was important was that Jiang Wuming had achieved this!
This gave them hope that Jiang Wuming could win the battle for survival!
Hmm?
At the same time, Buck, who was at the center of the battle, his pupils contracted sharply, and his brows were filled with shock.
But soon, he saw through the mystery and said coldly, "You used the forbidden technique of your inner strength cultivation method, burning true qi, and with the forbidden technique 'God-Slaying' of the God-Slaying Saber Technique, you were able to nullify my attack. I must say, you are indeed heaven-defying! But unfortunately, your martial arts realm is too low. All struggle is futile!"
Swish!
As the words fell, Buck raised his right hand again, using his hand as a saber, and slashed at Jiang Wuming.
This saber strike was still a move from the "Death Saber Technique," but it was the killing move within it!
Obviously, Buck felt that his previous attack being nullified by Jiang Wuming was a humiliating matter, so he decided to use a killing move and end the fight quickly!
In an instant, the death saber evolved from true qi appeared again.
But this time, the death saber was more condensed, more real, and the death intent it exuded was even more terrifying. Moreover, ferocious devil patterns appeared on the saber.
"Be careful, this is his most powerful killing move, Heavenly Death Saber!"
Not far away, Black Widow Jessica's expression changed when she saw the death saber reappear, and she quickly shouted to remind Jiang Wuming.
Boom—
However, before Black Widow Jessica's words could fall, the terrifying Heavenly Death Saber, carrying an invincible saber intent that could cut through everything, slashed towards Jiang Wuming again.
Swish!
Facing Buck's terrifying killing move, Jiang Wuming did not choose to confront it head-on as he did in the first exchange. Instead, his figure flashed, and he dodged rapidly.
Boom!!
With a loud bang, the Heavenly Death Saber evolved from true qi struck the afterimage left by Jiang Wuming. The lawn exploded instantly, creating a bottomless trench.
The Heavenly Death Saber, evolved from true qi, did not disappear after missing its target. It was as if it were real, and under Buck's control, it locked onto Jiang Wuming's aura and continued to slash at him.
One saber, two sabers, three sabers...
The Heavenly Death Saber evolved from true qi slashed a total of seven times before it finally disappeared. The lawn was completely destroyed, with numerous trenches appearing.
Seven sabers, and not a single one hit Jiang Wuming, nor did they even graze a strand of his hair!
This result once again shocked the members of the Saint West Gang!
Even Black Widow Jessica and the three-star War Gods of the War Dragon Hall were stunned!
None of them had expected Jiang Wuming to dodge Buck's killing move unscathed.
"All forbidden techniques have a time limit. Beyond that time, your body cannot withstand it and will explode, leading to death. I'll see how long you can last!"
Buck also did not expect that even his killing move could not do anything to Jiang Wuming, which made him shocked and enraged.
He let out a low roar, swung his right hand again, and continued his attack.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In an instant, loud noises continued to echo.
Buck stood on the lawn, continuously swinging his right hand, slashing out saber strikes. The sky was filled with sabers evolved from true qi, which shuttled back and forth, striking Jiang Wuming time and time again, but they were always the afterimages left by Jiang Wuming.
"How is this possible?!"
After Buck unleashed ninety-nine eighty-one saber strikes, he was utterly astonished!
Setting aside the fact that Jiang Wuming had dodged these eighty-one sabers, normally, Jiang Wuming, by continuously using forbidden techniques and burning true qi, would have long since been unable to withstand it!
However, Buck could keenly sense that Jiang Wuming showed no signs of exploding.
The fact was indeed so.
Ever since Jiang Wuming first used the Daoist sect's mysterious inner strength cultivation method's forbidden technique in the War God Drug Research Institute, burning true qi to fight desperately, he had done so in many battles thereafter.
Time and time again using forbidden techniques, and time and time again relying on the special energy of the mysterious space to repair his body, his physique had surpassed its limits again and again!
Now, even he himself did not know how strong his physique had become, but the duration for which he could use forbidden techniques and burn true qi had clearly become much longer, several times longer than before!
This was also the greatest confidence he had in killing Buck tonight!
After all, with his current strength, using two forbidden techniques was enough to instantly kill martial artists at the tenth or even eleventh stage of four-star War God—if such stages existed.
And although Buck was a five-star War God, he had only recently broken through, and he had not yet fully mastered the application of true qi and true intent in the five-star War God realm.
Jiang Wuming was right, and also wrong.
He was right that Buck's strength was within his estimated range.
However, as the battle progressed, Buck's application of true qi and true intent in the five-star War God realm was clearly improving, and his combat power was also continuously increasing. At this moment, he could basically exert the combat power expected of a first-stage five-star War God.
And although Jiang Wuming had dodged Buck's eighty-one sabers, he was not as relaxed in dodging the last few sabers as he was before.
Because of this change, Jiang Wuming immediately altered his combat strategy. After dodging Buck's eighty-first saber, he seized a slight pause in Buck's true qi circulation and fiercely switched from defense to offense.
Swish swish swish...
Under the night sky, as Jiang Wuming flashed, he swung his hands. The violent true qi, fused with secret power, instantly evolved into the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel.
The Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel appeared, and the Yin-Yang Killing Array was activated!
Jiang Wuming, positioned at the intersection of Yin and Yang, acting as the array's core, surged towards Buck!
He intended to use the close-quarters combat advantage of the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel to blow up Buck!
"Not dodging anymore?!"
However—
At this moment, a smug smile of a plot succeeding appeared on Buck's face.
The pause in true qi circulation was a feint he had deliberately created, intended to lure Jiang Wuming into attacking!
While smirking, Buck's aura suddenly surged, and he raised his right hand again.
Like Jiang Wuming, he had used a forbidden technique!
Boom—
True qi burned, and the Heavenly Death Saber reappeared!
The always treacherous Buck intended to instantly kill Jiang Wuming!
