Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The Variations in the Application of Qi Blood Power
Da Bai moved forward through the forest, steady as ever, without any jolting.
“Let’s find an open area nearby, preferably with some large rocks or the like.”
He wasn’t as familiar with the forest as Da Bai was, so it was better to let Da Bai choose a suitable place.
Upon hearing Wang Sheng’s words, Da Bai changed direction and began to climb the mountain. Before long, they reached a mountaintop.
The mountaintop wasn’t like the foot or the midsection of the mountain, full of large trees, but rather it was quite open, with only some ankle-high weeds.
There were large rocks as Wang Sheng had requested, though not many, just one that was over three meters high; there were, however, plenty of smaller stones.
…
“This will do just fine!”
Wang Sheng was quite satisfied with this spot; he mainly wanted an appropriate target and didn’t need too many.
“Da Bai, stand back a bit.”
As he said this, Wang Sheng activated his Blood Qi, displaying his Blood Qi Smoke.
As soon as the powerful Blood Qi Smoke appeared, Da Bai automatically backed away, even without Wang Sheng having to instruct him to do so.
And it was then that Wang Sheng truly felt the power of the Blood Qi Smoke in detail.
Wuuu~
At a casual command, it was as if a war cry from ancient times was heard, and his tremendous aura crushed and covered the area around him.
The wild grass on the ground was instantly pressed flat and then gradually ground to pieces.
Crack! Crack!
The sounds of breaking came in succession, and Wang Sheng stopped releasing his Blood Qi, and all became calm.
He then bent down to pick up the stones around him.
Whoosh whoosh!
The seemingly hard stones were already full of cracks, and they turned into even smaller pieces as he picked them up.
This was the power of the Blood Qi Smoke, which, even if released without doing anything, could impose a dual pressure on the bodies and minds of those nearby.
If one couldn’t withstand the pressure of the Blood Qi Smoke, they wouldn’t even be able to fight, only perish under its pressure.
To put it plainly, it was a “minnow crusher”!
Even when facing an opponent as strong as himself, it could still exert considerable pressure, even if the effect wasn’t as great.
Of course, the effects of the Blood Qi Smoke weren’t something that would show up in a fight; they were under his control.
Strictly speaking, Smoke is just the most obvious characteristic of the “Blood Qi Smoke” and not all of it.
The changes brought by the Blood Qi Smoke were greater than imagined.
First of all, there was the enhancement of the Qi Blood Power.
Qi Blood Power has always been complementary to the strength of the Blood Qi; the stronger the Blood Qi, the stronger the extracted Qi Blood Power would be; this was a feature Wang Sheng was very clear about at the “Blood Qi like Mercury” stage.
Now, having reached the “Blood Qi Smoke” stage, the Qi Blood Power was naturally even more fearsome.
For example—
“Breakthrough Fist!”
The Breakthrough Fist was a move he often used in Bajiquan, and after Bajiquan’s Breakthrough, it could directly utilize Qi Blood Power to make its punching force extremely lethal; now even more so.
Huuhp!
The powerful punching wind of the Breakthrough Fist erupted, making a bursting, howling noise.
Countless rocks and sand were swept away, and the ground was instantly etched with a deep ravine, extending out for tens of meters until it flew off the mountain top, where the swept rocks and sand soared an additional ten meters before falling towards the mountain cliff.
“The distance of the punch wind has increased, as expected, and—”
Wang Sheng picked up a stone that had just been caught up in the punch wind.
Crack!
The stone directly shattered.
Perhaps influenced by the Blood Qi Smoke, the fist wind from the Bajiquan also possessed the power to strangle and crush.
This situation was somewhat similar to forcibly breaking something apart with one’s own strength, but it was not exactly the same.
Wang Sheng had his own judgment and muttered to himself, “It seems like it’s an inherent ability of the Qi Blood Power, not the fist wind doing the crushing.”
This power seemed to be a qualitative change achieved by the Qi Blood Power, forming its own characteristics, adding a simple aura.
For example, in a game, a skill might have effects such as slow or bleed in addition to its own destructive power.
His current Qi Blood Power seemed to be in this situation.
It’s just that the effects of his Qi Blood Power seemed to be strangling and pulverizing.
“To prove this—”
Wang Sheng naturally had a way to verify.
As he spoke, his hands took on the posture of holding a bow, and then a longbow made of Blood Qi appeared in his hands.
This was another ability following the Breakthrough of his Blood Qi strength, taking his control of the Qi Blood Power to the next level. He had a premonition of this capability when he just achieved it and could create what he had previously imagined.
Of course, forming the longbow was still somewhat straining for him at the moment, but he did this to test his limits.
After the longbow formed, he pulled back the bloody string, and an arrow appeared out of thin air, just like the bow.
Longbow drawn!
Swish!
The bloody longbow, just like a real bow, directly shot the arrow out, turning into a streak of bloody lightning, and it embedded itself into the only giant rock on the mountain peak.
Boom!
The giant rock, hit by the small bloody arrow, instantly showed cracks, and then the bloody arrow exploded with tremendous power, shattering the rock, breaking it into pieces no larger than a fist, without leaving any larger stones.
The center of the rock where the arrow struck had turned into powder and was drifting with the wind.
The shattered stone fragments shot out like bullets, but Wang Sheng casually moved a few steps and dodged them all.
“It really is as I expected!”
As the Qi Blood Power gained new uses, it also gained new strength. The pure Qi Blood Power just now still caused a pulverizing effect.
“I’ve entered a new realm!” This application was nothing like the previous simple use of the Qi Blood Power; it was a completely new realm, “But of course, after all, Blood Qi Smoke and Blood Qi like Mercury are completely different things!”
However, the test was not yet over. Wang Sheng pulled back the bloody longbow again, aiming at another peak hundreds of meters away.
Swish!
A breaking sound came, like thunder roaring, and in a blink, the arrow reached the other mountain peak.
Boom!
Just like before, the bloody arrow exploded, clearing everything around it and blasting out a huge crater.
Wang Sheng knew this was not the full power of the bow and arrow; it could fly even farther.
Of course, these two shots were impressive and had formidable destructive power, but they also consumed a lot of his energy.
“That’s enough!”
The surprises following the Breakthrough were not small, but now he needed to practice the bow and arrow, as his second shot was a big miss from the target he had in mind.
“Big White, let’s go!”
With the test over, there was no need to stay.
Big White shook off the dust from his body and came to the front of Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng was becoming more frightening; the thought of defeating him now seemed better to remain honest!
Soon, a man and a tiger left the place…
