WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 112: The Last Duel

One victory and one defeat.

The atmosphere immediately turned somewhat tense as many gazes began to look towards the two people who had yet to appear: Lin Dong and the man in gray clothes.

"Lin Dong, it's your turn.. You should be able to do it right?"

Right now, the worry on Xia Zhilan's pretty face had deepened a little. He looked at Lin Dong with a somewhat complicated expression. If Lin Dong lost this match, their Thousand Gold Association would be doomed to lose the 'Dan Heavenly Column'.

Lin Dong's lips pursed slightly as he stared unblinkingly at the usual and calm gray man's face and softly replied: "I'll do my best."

“The strength of that person should not be much different from Song Qing. Winning shouldn't be difficult if you use the abilities you brought to defeat Song Qing from before. ” Xia Zhilan said in a low voice.

"Maybe ..." Lin Dong acknowledged his words, refusing to comment any further. He had a feeling that this seemingly ordinary person was not as simple as it seemed.

“Young friend, it looks like the result of this Heavenly Pool Battle will be determined by you.” Xia Wanjin said as she slightly smiled at Lin Dong.

"President Xia, this young one will give his best." Lin Dong clasped his hands respectfully, without further words, he walked into the arena.

"Xuan Su, this person you found ... is he reliable?" Gazing at Lin Dong's back, Xia Wanjin's brows furrowed lightly as she asked in a low voice.

“You should know how important 'Celestial And Pool' is. If our Thousand Gold Association is able to obtain the 'Dan Heavenly Column', Zhilan will then be able to break through to the Yuan Dan Stage within two years. Furthermore, the remaining energy could be used to nurture some Yuan Dan Stage practitioners. This will cause the strength of our Thousand Gold Association to explode!”

"Compared to Song Qing, he was more reliable." Xuan Su smiled indifferently, his answer somewhat hazy. Since the end result had yet to be determined, it was inappropriate for him to make a definitive statement.

“Hopefully so.” Xia Wanjin clearly understood the temperament of his wife's little sister and could only nod helplessly. After all, at this moment, could he find a replacement at the last minute?

When Lin Dong entered the arena, many gazes from the Blood Wolf Gang faction concentrated in his body. However, these gazes were all a little confused. Clearly they were unable to recognize this foreign face.

“I remember the last member was Song Qing of the Song Family. Since when did it turn into this person? ” Beside Yue Shan, a skinny old man commented in a low voice.

“No problem.”

Yue Shan casually shook his head before turning his gaze towards the gray-clothed man who had yet to speak: "Jiang Li, it's your turn."

"Yes." Yeah." The man called Jiang Li maintained an expressionless expression on his face as he nodded before saying: "Remember our covenant."

“Haha, don't worry. If my Blood Wolf Gang can obtain this 'Color of Heavenly Dan', the reward promised to you will be no less!” Yue Shan smiled and said.

After hearing these words, Jiang Li finally smiled as she walked into the arena at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. He stopped in front of Lin Dong and lowered his head to adjust his sleeves before he said in a cold voice: “I have never been involved in a friendly match. In this duel, I will not show any mercy, if you are not prepared, it might be better to leave. ”

“Thank you very much for your warning.”

Lin Dong smiled and cupped his hands together but did not back down. He then reached out his hand: "Please!"

Jiang Li raised his head and glanced at Lin Dong, a strange expression on his face as he gently sighed before his extremely long and thin palm stretched forward.

“Then... don't blame me for not having mercy..”.

After hearing Jiang Li softly muttering to herself, just as Lin Dong was about to reply, his disciples suddenly contracted. In front of his eyes, a number of fingers pierced through the air in a blade-like instant as they shot towards Lin Dong's throat.

Around the unusually long fingers, the powerful and extremely viscous Yuan Power surged as a small whirlwind quickly gathered at the fingertips. The strength of one finger was enough to pierce through the steel.

"That finger technique is so powerful!" Outside the arena, the crowd was definitely amazed by Jiang Li's attack.

Faced with Jiang Li's attack, Lin Dong's expression turned solemn. His eyes were locked on the incoming finger attack until the first one was only a few meters away before he suddenly attacked like a leopard waiting patiently.

Lin Dong's palm was wrapped with Yuan Power as they slid past Jiang Li's finger with the width of a hair and then slapped down, slapping the back of the latter's hand. The skillful utilization of energy directly neutralized Jiang Li's attacks.

Thanks to the Mental Energy's ability to sense even the smallest details, Lin Dong was able to clearly understand the variations in Jiang Li's finger technique. This was why he could easily disperse the other party's attack at such a critical moment.

“Chi-chi!”

However, Jiang Li was definitely not an ordinary individual. When his attack was neutralized, he did not retreat or advance. Ten fingers danced in the air as ominous attacks flew towards Lin Dong's body like torrential rain, intending to do miserable damage.

“Pa pa pa pa...”

As Jiang Li's attack suddenly surged, Lin Dong again chose not to retreat. Turning into a fist style, a crisp sound immediately echoed.

Lin Dong's mastery of the Penetrating Fist had reached a towering height. As he made use of it, a series of hard blows were made. Although the punch was simple and ordinary, it was delivered with unique elegance.

This unique grace caused astonishment to be radiated on the faces of Xie Wanjin and the others. Although Penetrating Fist was only an ordinary Level 1 Martial Art, there were very few people who could master it to such a level.

The burst of fist images seemed to fill the sky, like a steel wall, regardless of how Jiang Li's finger technique was thrust at a complicated and cruel angle, he could not gain the slightest advantage.

"Continue watching ..." Yue Shan chuckled. He doesn't seem to worry much. It seemed like he had a lot of faith in Jiang Li.

"Screams!"

A deadly wind-finger attack scratched Lin Dong's fist with a deafening screech. Although it left a superficial bloodline, it was clearly just a small physical wound.

Just as Jiang Li's fingertips were scratching him, Lin Dong's fist also landed on his chest. Even though the punch was softened by the latter's Yuan Power, which protected his body, the attack still caused Jiang Li to fall half a step back.

“Bang!”

Jolted half a step back, Jiang Li quickly stabilized his body. He looked at Lin Dong and licked his lips as a bloodthirsty glint flashed across his eyes.

Just as that bloodthirsty glint appeared, a powerful Yuan Power undulation that seemed to have been suppressed for a long time almost instantly exploded from within Jiang Li's body.

Those Yuan Power waves and auras were not inferior to Yue Feng and Xia Zhilan!

“Late Stage of Heavenly Yuan!”

When they saw Jiang Li's sudden surge of strength, on the side of the Thousand Gold Association, several expressions changed as they shouted in shock.

"He did hide his strength ..." Xia Wanjin's brows were tightly intertwined. It seems like the worst case scenario is indeed happening. This time, it seemed like the Blood Wolf Guild had somehow managed to find a young expert.

Thanks to this unexpected development, Xia Zhilan and the others, who were standing to one side, clutched their fists as their hearts sank.

"The Heavenly Yuan Final Stage ..."

Lin Dong's expression was slightly bumpy. However, he did not feel too surprised. Immediately, he took a few steps forward, his two fingers slightly curved as the extremely powerful Yuan Power quickly condensed and formed. Like the tip of a sword, in the blink of an eye, he directly pierced Jiang Li whose strength had greatly increased.

“Bang!”

Faced with Lin Dong's attack, Jiang Li just chuckled. There was no intention to retreat, his extremely long fingers immediately pierced towards Lin Dong's deadly finger attack.

The moment these four fingers met, the powerful Yuan Power undulation exploded almost instantly.

"Buzz!"

In the same example, just as Jiang Li was planning to exert more strength to break Lin Dong's finger, it was, he suddenly saw Lin Dong's eyes lit up as a formless wave shot towards him in an instant.

"Mental Energy ?!"

As he sensed that incoming wave, Jiang Li was stunned. He immediately harnessed the Yuan Power in his body to form a protective shield.

"Buzz!"

Although he managed to lay down his defenses in time, Jiang Li had clearly underestimated the strength of Lin Dong's Mental Energy. The needle-like Mental Energy forcefully tore through the Yuan Power shield upon contact. Although the magnitude was reduced by several times, the remaining Mental Energy waves still managed to reach Jiang Li's mind. Immediately, a great pain appeared in his head.

"A very strong Mental Energy!"

As a sharp pain appeared in his head, Jiang Li was shocked and furious. He finally understood that he was not the only one hiding his strength. This unknown person also held back!

“Bang!”

While Jiang Li's head was aching, the additional strength he was just about to unleash disappeared. In turn, Lin Dong's finger attack took advantage of this sudden opportunity. The power blasted the power as he suddenly pierced forward, an extremely powerful force transmitting through Jiang Li's fingers!

"Snap!"

The powerful force was like a tidal wave as Jiang Li's finger crooked. Evidently, the bones in his fingers were broken after this powerful collision.

Furthermore, this powerful impact also caused Jiang Li to instantly crash before she crashed into the giant rock violently. The resulting force even caused a small crack to appear on that gigantic rock.

"Victory!"

When they saw this dramatic reversal, a celebratory call immediately exploded from the side of the Thousand Gold Association faction, even Xia Zhilan, like the others, had a happy expression on her pretty face.

"It's not over yet…"

While they were rejoicing, Xia Wanjin solemnly shook her head as she said.

After hearing his words, Xia Zhilan and the others were stunned. Soon, they turned to look at that slightly tattered Jiang Li, only to see the last Jiang Li gradually rise up. Meanwhile, a thick bloody mist gushed out from his pores. Like blood, it had a pungent smell of blood.

Jiang Li slowly climbed up. He looked at Lin Dong with an evil gaze, whose brows furrowed, and said in a rough voice: “To be able to push me this far, you are indeed capable. However, it should be time to finish this..”.
