Yun Zelin was born with an incomplete body, and it was only after adjustments by the Ming Cult that he gained complete Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Main Meridians.
Although these things, built up bit by bit over time, could barely be used, they were ultimately not as sturdy as the original.
Not to mention Li Miao's majestic true qi; even Lan Lechuan wouldn't be able to withstand it!
Almost instantly, Yun Zelin's six hand meridians, including the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, Heart Meridian of Hand-Shaoyin, Small Intestine Meridian of Hand-Taiyang, and Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin, disintegrated!
What's more, after destroying the meridians in his arm, the masculine and majestic true qi suddenly became cold and sharp, continuously flowing upstream along his meridians.
It was Li Miao, utilizing the miraculous nature of the "Jiezi", who instantly switched his cultivation method, changed the nature of his true qi, and sought to kill him.
The three yin meridians of the hand flow from the chest to the hand; the three yang meridians of the hand flow from the hand to the head.
The six hand meridians, comprising three yin and three yang, have yin meridians flowing towards the heart and yang meridians flowing towards the head.
If this cold and sharp true qi were to invade his heart and head, Yun Zelin would truly be finished!
Only a "chi" sound was heard!
An arm fell to the ground.
It's not easy to update, remember to share 101ksw.com.
Looking at Yun Zelin again, he had already fled far away, his one hand repeatedly tapping his shoulder to stop the bleeding.
After sacrificing a limb to escape, Yun Zelin's already frail appearance aged further, and even his teeth began to fall out on their own.
He raised his head and looked at Li Miao in despair: "What in the world are you cultivating?!"
Zuo Lishan had said this, Lan Lechuan had said this, and now it was Yun Zelin's turn.
Li Miao possessing three paths beyond the peak, yet none cultivated to perfection, thus avoiding the Celestial Human Five Declines, was already abnormal in itself. However, Yun Zelin felt that Li Miao, as his fated opponent, should naturally be extraordinary, so he wasn't too surprised.
Both Yun Zelin and Li Miao practiced the three paths as one; Li Miao was incomplete, and Yun Zelin was not upright. If one were to truly compare, Yun Zelin was actually stronger.
To fight Yun Zelin, Li Miao had perfected "Vajra" on his own, already showing signs of the Celestial Human Five Declines; his white hair was clear evidence.
If both doors were perfected, Li Miao wouldn't be able to bear it.
But Yun Zelin never expected that Li Miao could even "undo" an already perfected realm!
In other words, Li Miao's self-perfection of "Vajra" and falling into the Celestial Human Five Declines to suppress him was also a ruse. After fighting him, he could revert his realm and continue to be his lively "three paths unfulfilled."
What the hell is this?!
Li Miao raised his foot and stomped down hard.
Bang—
Yun Zelin's severed arm was crushed into a pulp.
Only then did he say nonchalantly, "Didn't you just say that everyone in this world is mediocre, and only I am on the right path?"
"Since it's the right path, it's naturally different from your crooked path, isn't that also common sense?"
At this moment, Yun Zelin had slowly calmed his mind, but upon hearing Li Miao's words, he gritted his teeth and said,
"No, you are the crooked path, and an extraordinarily crooked one!"
"What's done is done. From the moment I cultivated 'Vajra,' my entire skeletal structure became different from ordinary people. Otherwise, how could flesh and skin contend against swords and blades!"
"This isn't true qi, it's not a cultivation method; it's something tangible and unchangeable!"
For a moment, Yun Zelin seemed to understand something.
"That's right, that's right! Your extraordinary root bones also came from this!"
"Good, good!"
"I originally wanted to study your corpse and mimic your meridians! But if you have such a method... even better!"
A look of wild joy appeared on Yun Zelin's face.
"Then you'll have to be able to defeat me first."
Li Miao beckoned to him.
"Come, round three."
Yun Zelin suddenly realized.
That's right, just now, in order to clash internal energy with Li Miao, he had stimulated the vitality of the parasitic worms, and at the same time, accelerated the process of the Celestial Human Five Declines.
Not to mention, Li Miao had destroyed six of his main meridians and severed one arm. Now he was at his wit's end, while Li Miao had perfected "Sumeru," replenishing all his consumed true qi, and even the injuries on his body had completely disappeared.
Li Miao had suffered no losses, but Yun Zelin could no longer hold on.
In the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, he would die of old age.
If he wanted to live, he had to kill Li Miao within that time.
A cup of tea refers to the time it takes for tea poured into a cup to cool down to a drinkable temperature.
In Li Miao's previous life, that was—five minutes.
Within five minutes, life and death would be decided.
First minute.
Yun Zelin suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, which landed on the ground and rose in wisps of white smoke. But his aura suddenly became sharper.
He fully activated the vitality of the two parasitic worms he had obtained from Zuo Lishan and Lan Lechuan.
He was going all out.
"Xuantian Finger"!
Sharp true qi shot out, and Yun Zelin followed closely, arriving before Li Miao at the same time.

Li Miao dodged sideways, only a step away from Yun Zelin.
Yun Zelin's palm-blade sliced diagonally, and One Slash came at Li Miao.
Li Miao raised one leg high, then suddenly brought it down, counterattacking with "One Axe" from the Iron Shackles War Summons!
The Iron Shackles War Summons is the inheritance of the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards); the so-called "One Slash, One Axe, One Hook, One Cannon" are not weapons, but rather palm-blade, leg-axe, claw-hook, and cannon-fist.
Palms and legs clashed, clanging loudly.
Yun Zelin suddenly changed his move, curling his fingers into a claw, seizing Li Miao's knee. Cold true qi penetrated his body, intending to cripple Li Miao's leg.
Li Miao's "Vajra" was no longer perfect, no longer impregnable!
Li Miao's right hand struck horizontally at Yun Zelin's temple, precisely the Shaolin "Heart-Mind Fist," attacking where the enemy must defend.
Yun Zelin had no choice but to release his grip, retreat a step to evade the fist, then twisted his body, swinging his elbow towards Li Miao's chest.
Li Miao's left hand raised his palm and pushed upward, combining hardness and softness, using Tai Chi 'Entwining Hands' to deflect the blow.
Rip!—
The sound of tearing fabric instantly rang out; it was Li Miao's left palm deflecting Yun Zelin's elbow strike, and before it could fall, his right fist suddenly shot out, its speed so fast that it directly ripped his sleeve.
Yun Zelin had only one arm, and his stance was unstable. His posture was also thrown off by Li Miao's Tai Chi 'Entwining Hands,' and facing the right fist already before him, he only had time to slightly turn his head.
Splash!—
Blood splattered, and then the two were seen.
Li Miao's right fist grazed Yun Zelin's face, and the majestic true qi instantly erupted, actually scraping off all the flesh from Yun Zelin's entire left face.
At this moment, Yun Zelin's entire left face revealed stark white bone.
Beyond the peak, "Vajra" focuses on defense, ""Jiezi"" on transformation, and "Sumeru" on offense.
Li Miao's "Sumeru" was perfected at this time, and his true qi was vast as the sea with every move. If that last strike had landed squarely, Yun Zelin would have surely died on the spot.
Even though it was only a graze, Yun Zelin was literally scraped into half a skull.
In an instant, Yun Zelin's only remaining left hand rose and clasped Li Miao's right fist.
Using a grappling technique, he locked tightly onto Li Miao's right arm.
However, while he used his one arm to lock Li Miao's right hand, Li Miao still had a free left hand.
Li Miao's left hand suddenly brought his fingers together like a blade, and One Slash instantly fell, cutting into Yun Zelin's right shoulder, incredibly sharp!
It split Yun Zelin's entire right side, reaching all the way to his lungs!
At this point, only the first minute had just passed.
