Being attacked from various angles, Niu Chang was tossed around like a sack of potatoes.

Jie Tiangong counted his attacks from the start to the present. "I have already attacked him more than fifty-six times, and yet he still survived?"

Although Jie Tiangong was strong and much stronger than the paper tiger Niu Chang, he was ultimately just an ordinary master stage martial artist. He had limited qi, and every time he used Sonic Tap, a small amount of his qi would be depleted.

To save his qi reserve for unexpected situations, Jie Tiangong slowed down his attacks to probe a little further.

"As long as I maintain intervals between my Sonic Taps, it is not impossible to keep attacking this stinky boy."

Niu Chang, who had been focused on defending the entire time, noticed that the attacks decreased. He knew his true strength compared to any martial artist. The system provided him with an endless supply of qi, so as long as the enemy didn't kill him in one attack, Niu Chang would ultimately win, no matter how painful and long the process might be.

"Heh, you stinky shit-eating rat. Have you grown tired? Did that worn-out body of yours reach its limit after consuming shit your entire life? That's why you should eat proper food-"

"Kugh!" Niu Chang suddenly received a greater attack in the middle of reciting his poem about rats.

Jie Tiangong's ears turned red when he heard such mocking words from Niu Chang. He was old and had experienced many things, but he still couldn't accept some random boy saying anything about him.

"Hehe. Boy, let's see how long you can last," Jie Tiangong snickered with an evil smile.

"Hehe. Old ghost, let's see how long your stick can last," Niu Chang followed suit in his defensive position.

Jie Tiangong was stunned, and his evil smile began to fade. He no longer had the mood to play with Niu Chang.

Changing his qi circulation, Jie Tiangong used a different technique to forcefully penetrate Niu Chang's hard turtle shell.

The tapping sound of the staff and the ground halted for a moment, and the next moment, Niu Chang felt a powerful attack coming in his direction.

It was still the invincible sonic attack, but this one carried a heavy atmosphere.

Hammering Beat. This technique had more destructive force but also required charging time and was more difficult to use compared to the instant casting of Sonic Tap.

"Old man, you have no shame at all. I thought we were friends who got along during this short time, but instead, you chose to return to your shit-eating rat pathetic life-"

Still not giving up on his poem about rats, Niu Chang was hit by Hammering Beat. His body, which had been lifted up by Sonic Tap, was slammed down as if an invisible hammer had struck him.

The ground cracked, causing dust and soil to fly around. Niu Chang was embedded deep into the ground, bleeding from every hole in his head.

Drying the soil with his blood, Niu Chang was unconscious due to the powerful impact. But thankfully, the endless supply of vitality quickly restored his consciousness.

Blowing the blood out of his nasal cavity, Niu Chang slowly raised his battered body. Every part of his body crackled with a loud sound, like old gear full of rust.

Jie Tiangong stopped using his Sonic Tap since it wouldn't do anything to Niu Chang. He decided to observe first and make a move later.

The main reason was still the same: Niu Chang's qi was still flowing freely from his body without any change. Even Jie Tiangong couldn't help but feel doubtful about Niu Chang's cultivation level.

"Is he really a grandmaster? This amount of qi, from the start until now, is not just at the master stage. I couldn't even sustain such consumption myself."

Standing on his feet, Niu Chang glared fiercely at Jie Tiangong. This was the first time he had been beaten up so heavily, and he couldn't even do anything about it.

"Look, boy, we don't have any real conflict between us. It was you who started to antagonize me in the first place. If you know what's best for you, you should know what to do," Jie Tiangong coldly said.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Niu Chang had been absent minded just now, but he sobered up shortly before Jie Tiangong finished his speech.

"Ah, indeed. We didn't have any deep conflict, so I agree, let's just forget about our misunderstanding from before," Niu Chang said honestly.

'Like I will believe your nonsense! You clearly wanted to take my life just now. The system was triggered by you.' Cursing in his heart, Niu Chang slowly stirred up the emotions within him.

His restless mind started to calm down.

"It's good that you still have common sense," Jie Tiangong nodded. But his eyes were fixed on Niu Chang.

He had his own reasons to confront Niu Chang, not only because of his taunts from before.

Jie Tiangong raised his staff at lightning speed and shouted, "Burial of Silence!"

Profound qi exited his body, and with the staff as the medium, waves of silence were directed at Niu Chang.

Niu Chang snorted inwardly. The transformation of his qi had already finished. The dim white qi around his body was tainted with a red color, partially dyed.

Raising the corner of his mouth, the overflowing qi suddenly found its purpose. The red qi turned into cherry blossom petal shadows flying around Niu Chang's body.

The cherry blossom petal shadows were illusory, without a fixed form. Interchanging between cherry blossom petals and lumps of red qi.

Jie Tiangong felt a sudden rush of fresh cherry blossom fragrance in his nose and watched the smile on Niu Chang's face.

The precise control of his Burial of Silence was disrupted for a moment, but it was enough for Niu Chang to avoid being targeted.

"A beguiling technique?" Jie Tiangong found it amusing for a small boy to learn such a feminine technique.

But that was all. He redirected the invisible sound wave to target Niu Chang once again.

Feeling the change in his surroundings, Niu Chang felt helpless. He knew that his Captivating Smile Under the Shade and Red was merely superficial.

It was only thanks to the large quantity that he was able to affect the state of mind of someone like Jie Tiangong.

Unwilling to give up, he kept using his Captivating Smile Under the Shade and Red to disgust Jie Tiangong to death.

'I never thought I would find myself in this situation, the one I hate the most, in my first real fight. Facing an enemy without the ability to kill them in one clean strike.'

It wasn't that he didn't want to use the Demonic Embrace of Lady in White and Red or Dream Visit, but he was unable to use them. These two skills were only theories that Niu Chang had come up with.

Jie Tiangong watched as Niu Chang tried to escape. He tapped his staff on the ground, and an invisible Sonic Tap was instantly cast, attacking Niu Chang without any delay.

Niu Chang's plan to escape was blocked by Jie Tiangong, and now he found himself blasted by the attack.

Tossed into the air, Niu Chang turned his face to show his smile.

Jie Tiangong calmly looked at him. Then he felt that distracting emotion once again in his heart. But that was enough for him to test his guess.

"Hahaha! Boy, I have already analyzed the weakness of your technique. You need to show your smile to your enemy. Now you can't escape anymore. Surrender obediently, and I may let you go," Jie Tiangong laughed as he cornered Niu Chang with his Sonic Tap and Burial of Silence.

Niu Chang's heart sank when he heard it. With his own incompetence, he sighed and did his best to avoid the haunting Burial of Silence.

But he still used his smile to distract Jie Tiangong's mind. Without this distraction, it was impossible for Niu Chang to escape.

His Rapid Leaf Step was ultimately a mortal martial skill without any utilization of qi. To escape from Jie Tiangong's Burial of Silence powered by qi, it was too weak.

Noticing the change in Niu Chang's qi, Jie Tiangong closed his eyes to avoid his smile.

Even without looking at Niu Chang, he was still able to determine his location.

Sound-based martial arts were very rare, and even more so were practitioners who reached a high level like Jie Tiangong. Now, with his hearing alone and the help of an auxiliary martial technique called Clear Sound, he was able to locate Niu Chang's position.

Niu Chang frowned when he saw Jie Tiangong close his eyes. But sensing that weird attack closing in, Niu Chang knew that Jie Tiangong was using some auxiliary martial skill to locate his position.

He urged the qi into his throat and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"AAAAAAAAA!!!"

There was no need for him to guess the method that Jie Tiangong used to locate him. He used sound-based martial skill, and that clue alone was enough.

The calm forest stirred, and the leaves swayed from the loud scream.

Feeling the feedback from his enhanced senses through the first level of the Impossible Idea, Niu Chang knew he had gained a small moment to distance himself from the Burial of Silence.

"AAAAAAAAA!!!"

Jie Tiangong's brows knitted when he heard the scream disturbing his Clear Sound. But he reacted calmly, opening his mouth and letting out an even louder shout.

Niu Chang was stunned for a moment and felt his eardrums almost explode from this powerful shout.

Fresh blood flowed from Niu Chang's ears. But he didn't dare to pay attention to them and opened his mouth to scream once again.

The two of them kept up their performance in a stalemate. Not too far from them, Wei Hong and Wan You heard the loud voices.
