271 THE SCARE OF TWO LAWS

“Two heavenly Laws. The Bandit leader is a genius comparable to Thunder Child.” Li Meng couldn’t help but get surprised at this discovery. This was the first time he was going to face an opponent who has connected with dual heavenly laws and has a cultivation realm above him. This wasn’t going to be easy.

“Which laws are they? I am sure I could overcome them with the combination of three Heavenly Laws.”

“Do you remember the combination theory which I had you remember?”

“I do remember that some laws complement each other better than others. Is that the point you are trying to make?”

“Exactly. Some law complements each other far better than others, enhancing the mutual power of each other. The laws you have practiced are thunder, water and wind, but there is fairly no balance between them because of the odd arrangement.”

“He, on the other hand, is connected with fire and water.”

“Wouldn’t that mean that his power is highly diminished due to the mutually opposing laws of fire and water?”

“This is the exact reason why I found you extremely incompetent. I said that establishing the two mutual opposite laws would be a huge problem. I don’t remember commenting on the power they would create”

“Are you suggesting that the two laws complement each other in a much better way than mine?”

.....

“Sadly yes. The boost given out by the combination is nearly the same as having three Heavenly laws. This is an equal match if it comes down to law power. You need to compete with him in terms of Qi capacity, soul strength and physical power. I couldn’t estimate the overall strength unless you clash with him.”

“I guess we will find out.” Li Meng took out his sword and hammer.

.........................

“Who are you?” The bandit leader directly released the aura of advance Qi King. The environment instantly went through a transformation with the air getting heavier by the second.

“I presume you are the bandit leader of this stronghold,” Li Meng said in an eased tone. The leader’s expression turned serious after looking at Li Meng’s eased expression.

“I am sorry to interrupt the normal flow of things. I would like to ask for your assistance in finding a special resource within the Taiwan mountain.”

“I would have been happy to give you a chance at talking if you hadn’t sneakily attacked my subordinate. Discussion is off limits as of now. But you needn’t worry. I will capture you barely alive and torture information out of you first.” The leader smiled and rushed towards Li Meng.

“You seem weirdly confident in your strength. One shouldn’t be so sure of his environment.” Li Meng rushes backwards while waving the sword sideways. Another sword appeared out of nowhere and clashed with it, leaving sparks all around. Li Meng was pushed backwards by the brute force invested within the last confrontation.

Li Meng raised his hammer sideways and bashed it towards the bandit leader. The leader replied, but raised his arm guard and defended against the incoming attack. To his surprise, his hammer’s strength came short in the clash, and Li meng was blasted sideways. The hammer flew out of hands, falling at a small distance away.

Amazed by the sudden occurrence, Li Meng concentrated on the leader’s armguard, just to find it shinning with bright light.

“It is a quasi-emperor grade artifact. Your hammer couldn’t match the level of the armguard.” To no one’s surprise, small cracks were visible on the hammer.

The leader smiled, and rushed towards Li Meng, waving his sword at his abdomen. Li Meng rushed forward and jumped horizontally, just a gap above the sword slash. His robe was torn open, leaving a huge hole in it. He turned his body mid-air, punched at the leader’s body and used the recoil to jump a short distance away from him.

“Good dodge. How long would you be able to continue this farce?” The leader didn’t allow Li meng to grab a breather and sent a punch towards him. A huge amount of Qi rushed towards Li Meng, who raised his hands to block it, forgetting that the leader rushed behind the attack.

When the impact finally came to an end, it was followed by the sudden appearance of a violent slash. Li Meng had no choice but to dodge sideways and let a small gap appear in defence. The leader took advantage of this occurrence and kicked Li Meng’s side legs. Although he had a powerful body, an attack from advance QI King was still quite powerful.

It forced him to lean sideways, allowing the leader to punch him directly in the face. Li Meng’s body was sent flying towards the opposite wall.

.................

“Boy, you are losing the fight. He’s going to crush you.” The Keeper couldn’t help but sarcastically comment.

“We will see.” Li Meng stood up and wiped the blood off his mouth. He then proceeded to open up all his acupoints. The Qi pressure coming out of him increased exponentially, astonishing the opponent.

He rushed towards the leader and punched him. The punch was so powerful that it directly pierced through the defences of the leader and landed on his chest. To his surprise, Li Meng felt a unique feeling of softness over his hands, but the moment didn’t allow him to analyze the situation.

The leader was pushed back and bumped onto the door. His body armour caved and he was forced to spit our blood. He looked at Li Meng with shock. How could his opponent suddenly become so strong?

He rose and released his law energy. Two heavenly laws of fire and water came into life and the atmosphere changed again. It felt hot and cold at the same time. Li Meng couldn’t help but be surprised at the sudden change. Although he himself experienced the power, this was the first time he was facing an opponent use it.

“I guess you are scared now, genius.” The bandit leader said with a tone.

“Trying to scare me with two Heavenly laws. You really are a simpleton, aren’t you?” Li Meng wanted to feel the energy that was born from the combination of two laws. He rushed at the leader with the full power of his body and waved his fist at him.

The guy replied with the usage of the two-law energy at the same time. Li Meng’s fist was freezing and burning at the same time. He dodged back and waved his hand to shake off the ice. Multiple collisions followed and to Li Meng’s surprise, he was being suppressed quite violently.

All one could see was small frozen lines of blood all over Li Meng’s charred body. The robe was destroyed halfway through the process, and Li Meng’s energy was slowly being sucked out of his body. The consumption to ward off the energy delivered by the blows was taxing to his body.

“How does it feel to be simultaneously cooked and freeze to death? I am sure you would find it more appealing to see all the blood crystals on the ground. Let’s hope you could appease my appetite for a little longer.” As the fight proceeded, the leader’s character was slowly morphing towards a more violent and bloody alternative.

............

“I guess you hit an iron plate this time. It is not going to be easy to fight against a guy like this.”

“I still haven’t used all my cards or any of the arts which I have learnt.” Li Meng objected.

“He didn’t use any either. He possesses some hidden cards too. The feeling which I received during the clash where you managed to hit his chest was unique.”

“Is he have some special kind of natural body like me?”

“Oh, it is quite special. You will be aware of it as you proceed with the fight. I suggest you try to conserve strength by regulating the Qi flow. Your physical abilities include extremely fast healing and hence allow it to take damage.” The Keeper’s advice was quite accurate and Li Meng decided to follow it for the time being.

............

The clash continued with more and more injuries appearing on Li Meng’s body as time passed by. The only benefit was the incredible rate at which he healed.

“I guess you have a natural body that allows you to heal fast. I guess we will just have to increase the intensity of the attacks.” The aura coming out of the leader’s body increased in intensity. There was no visible stress on his face.

“He didn’t use his full power earlier.” Li Meng was taken aback by the sudden boost in his opponent’s strength.

“Talk about hidden aces. I guess you need to use some of your cards now.” The Keeper tried to annoy Li Meng.

“I guess we do need some of the unused cards.” Li Meng had to agree with the demand of the current situation.

“Are you ready to give up?” The bandit leader spoke up with mockery in his voice.

“I am a Qi King too you know.” Li Meng smiled and released his law energy.
