Zou Qiang made a fierce attack this time, with both cultivation methods and martial techniques applied simultaneously. Maybe most of the Taixuan disciples with fifth-level martial capacity were unable to take it. On seeing that, Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors went startled forthwith.
However, Lin Xiao, appearing undaunted at all, made a step forward to confront Zou Qiang. In so doing, he literally put his life under risk.
Zou Qiang beamed radiantly, "The idiot is terribly audacious!" However, the situation changed all of a sudden — Lin Xiao's hypnotizing attack aimed straight at his wrist, which was where his weak link lay. The next second, Zou Qiang felt suffocated as if his throat had been grabbed, his smile fading away — he was put out of action right away.
Zou Qiang's sudden recession brought great relief to Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors. Nevertheless, they failed to figure it out. As martial masters, they spotted that weak link effortlessly. However, a sharp observation of that kind was rarely seen among regular disciples. "Was it a mere accident?" This speculation went across the minds of Li Taixuan, the seniors, and even Zou Qiang.
Zou Qiang hastened to change his martial techniques, plunging forth his left fist. That was called the mountain smashing fist technique, which was a yellow rank one as well. In the meantime, Lin Xiao plunged forth his fist. However, Lin Xiao's move nearly cracked Zou Qiang up. He didn't expect that Lin Xiao would employ the all-around besiege technique, which was merely an elementary skill, mostly seen at the Taixuan enrolment examinations. "Is the idiot out of his mind? Does he want to fight me with such an unpresentable skill? No kidding!" Zou Qiang sneered dismissively, with murderous intentions showing in his eyes, "I just combined the mountain smashing fist technique with the fiendish spiral force. The two-pronged approach will certainly help me put him away effortlessly."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao even closed his eyes at this critical juncture. He looked literally like a miserable wretch waiting for the call of Death.
Startled, Zou Qiang soon sensed a terrifying force. An elusion popped up in him — he felt as if he had been faced with an immense ocean. The force resembled incessant waves, which were seemingly mild and inoffensive but actually intense and daunting.
"Bang!" Their fists crashed in the air. Zou Qiang got hurled backward straight away.
Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors went slack-jawed. "Was that the all-around besiege technique we're familiar with? It was literally like the top level of the all-around besiege technique — the supreme earth-shaking force. That was barely possible!"
Zou Qiang failed to come to the terms with the unexpected checkmate.
