I Can See Your Combat Power

“Utter foolishness!” Mi Hai couldn’t help damning aloud, his heart seething with anger.

The alliance did not have an advantage in terms of top-level Martial Ancestors willing to fight in the first place. Mi Tianxin had now taken two from the main clan branch with him. Though he wasn’t worried about their safety, such reckless action undoubtedly weakened the high-end combat strength of the alliance.

Furthermore, Mi Tianxin’s reckless attack would certainly provoke a fierce response from the Tang Clan. If they were pushed into acting desperately and launched an unprepared attack on Zhenmin Mountain camp, given the current morale situation, it could likely lead to another great defeat.

If the situation developed as he envisaged, then what was currently most needed was to replenish the high-end combat strength of the alliance, and he needed someone to help him resist Tang Sen.

Only a few months had passed since their last encounter, yet Tang Sen had made significant progress in his physique. A physique as robust as Tang Sen’s was nearly impossible to further enhance, but this man seemed to have no limits, and his power was rapidly increasing.

Even with the use of Qingmu secret techniques, Mi Hai only managed a draw in close combat. Although the fusion of his soul and the Qingmu Battle Body gave him immense strength, the gap in physicality between him and Tang Sen was evident. If he had to fight again now, his yet-to-recover body wouldn’t be able to handle it.

So, naturally, he thought of the reputed strongest person in Xiling.

“Messenger!” Mi Hai summoned a messenger and asked, “Where are the chiefs of the Cao Family of Dayou Mountain and the Xiao family?”

“General,” the messenger flipped through the confidential notes in his hand and answered, “Commander Wan Qian is currently leading the Dayou Mountain garrison along with Lords Xiao and Cao to join us.”

“Why are they so slow?” Mi Hai asked, frowning. He had informed Cao Xiong and Xiao Jinlin as soon as he received the news that the Tang Clan had burst out of the Xiangyun Valley. Given the speed of traveling in the Fierce Realm, the two should have arrived by now.

“According to the news sent back by the Wind Media, the Dayou Mountain transcendent squad was ambushed by a team of Martial Ancestors. Commander Wan Qian feared that they were Tang Clan’s ambush, so he quickly summoned Lords Xiao and Cao.”

“Why didn’t you report such important news earlier?!” With eyes flashing indignation, Mi Hai suppressed his inner fury and asked, “Did you check? Who are these people?”

“We did, we did!” The messenger hurriedly relayed the conclusion reached by the Wind Media, “Judging by their technique, the attackers of the Dayou Mountain troops should be the Cui Family from Lanshan City, not a covert assault by the Tang Clan!”

Hearing that it was not a covert operation by the Tang Clan, but rather the Cui Family from Lanshan City, dispelled half of Mi Hai’s worries.

After the great flood came the great famine, and the Lingjiang region began to face great changes. It was hard to say how many families that had thrived for centuries declined in this natural disaster, and how many unknown families rose to prominence.

Winners took it all, losers lost everything, this was common in the aftermath of a disaster. But hearing that a fallen noble family that had turned to thievery had the audacity to challenge the Mi Clan made Mi Hai angry: “These desperate dogs dare to extend their claws towards the Mi Clan territory, I’ll lead an attack on Lanshan City to wipe out these fools as soon as I get a chance!”

Although the battle with the Tang Clan had not yet produced a victor, Mi Hai already regarded the North Mountain region as the Mi Clan’s forbidden territory, which cannot be tainted by others.

“Send someone to investigate. I want to know where these jackals have set up camp!” At this point, the most important thing was to annihilate the Tang Clan warriors on Baoding Mountain. As for these opportunistic bandits, they did not catch Mi Hai’s attention.

“Notify the commanders, have them gather all the capable Martial Ancestors, we are going to back up Mi Tianxin!”

At this time above Baoding Mountain, the just-formed Blue Lotus was penetrated by four or five Extreme Sharp Finger Forces and exploded with a loud bang.

Mi Tianxin, who thought his actions were discreet, was unexpectedly surrounded by Tang Clan Martial Ancestors.

The appearing Sky-picking Hands from all directions did not even allow the other two Martial Ancestors to activate the Xuanji Jade.

Why was Mi Tianxin known as the top Martial Ancestor? Because even in such a situation, he could activate the Qingmu Battle Body to buy himself some time to activate the Xuanji Jade. This was the advantage of having substantial Spiritual Power.

The other two Martial Ancestors could only do one thing with the remaining Spiritual Power, as they had just employed the Combined Attack Technique.

Either activate the Qingmu Battle Body to resist the Sky-picking Hand or forcibly activate the Xuanji Jade to withstand the blow.

Either way was a difficult choice because relying solely on the Fierce Realm’s physical defenses to withstand this kind of fierce technique seemed suicidal.

But the sudden appearance of a green barrier looked like a path of deliverance to the two men. Familiar with Mi Tianxin’s Qingmu Battle Body, they knew right away this was Mi Tianxin extending the Qingmu Battle Body over them to buy them some time.

In life or death situations, there was no room for pretence. The two men wept as they activated the Xuanji Jade. Just as they activated the teleporter, they saw with their own eyes the green aura shattered by three golden palms.

Mi Tianxin, on the other hand, was hit in the back with a Sky-picking Hand, the force of the attack, which combined two kinds of forceful energy, shattered the high-quality armor he was wearing. He himself was severely injured, vomiting blood, and was sent spinning through the air.

Barely managing to stabilize himself midair, Mi Tianxin saw four golden lights quickly approaching. Without the protection of his Spiritual Armor, his head, organs, and spine were all exposed to the concentrated fire of the Extreme Sharp Finger Forces. His soul was feeling this huge threat, crying out in the God’s Residence, his courage failing him.

The four Martial Ancestors who had executed the Extreme Mang Finger were smug, convinced of their impending victory.

Facing the certain death situation, Mi Tianxin remained calm. His muscular body suddenly turned into mush and writhed like a snake.

The Extreme Mang Finger that should have shattered his skull merely glanced off his cheek; the one aimed at his spine only pierced his lower abdomen; and the two aimed at his heart and the God’s Residence did not even break his skin.

All four strikes missed. The faces of the four Tang Clan Martial Ancestors who were so confident seconds ago darkened, their eyes filled with seriousness.

If they were in Mi Tianxin’s shoes, they would have perished under that Extreme Mang finger combo. But Mi Tianxin only sustained minor injuries. As warriors, they naturally understood the difference in their ability. But as enemies, the more remarkable Mi Tianxin’s performance, the stronger their killing intent!

However, Mi Tianxin, deeply surrounded, faced this killing intent with just disdain: “Are all Tang Clan Martial Ancestors base cowards who can only gang up on someone? Who dares to fight me alone?”

The peerlessly heroic top-level warrior, despite being in a dire situation, did not change his domineering manner. On the other hand, the Tang Clan Martial Ancestors were left red-faced after their two consecutive rounds of sneak attacks.

Especially the four who just joined hands, they felt a strange sense of not wanting to attack anymore. After all, they were Martial Ancestors of the Fierce Realm and they had their own dignity. Moreover, while the proud Tang Clan Martial Ancestors recognized Mi Tianxin’s cultivation, they did not think he was stronger than the Tang Clan’s top-level Martial Ancestors.

They wanted a fight? They were ready for a fight!
