Chapter 16: They're all good brothers
Wang Yan gritted his teeth, his body trembling, his lips quivering unconsciously. He concentrated intently on mobilizing the divine runes in his sea of consciousness, desperately absorbing the surrounding profound energy to release his power in order to resist the pressure of the young man in the magic robe's gaze, which had intensified once again.
That powerful circle kept circling in front of him, dozens... hundreds of times...
Outside the body, the swirling sound of the air currents continued to increase, gradually forming a small vortex that moved inwards.
It's unclear when it started, but the amount of profound energy being drawn to this vortex circle has been increasing, and even the oppressive aura emanating from the gaze of the young man in the Dharma robe seems to be being absorbed and merged into it.
The surprise in his eyes deepened, his gaze becoming almost tangible, and suddenly blazed with a blinding light.
The pressure is increasing again.
Wang Yan, who had just regained his composure, felt his whole body once again uncontrollably drenched in cold sweat, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
His eyes were red, he was panting heavily, and he was resisting with all his might.
"Keep going, make sure it keeps spinning with the momentum!"
The world before my eyes gradually turned black and white.
My heartbeat gradually slowed down.
Like a dying person who has lost too much blood.
Wang Yan felt a deep sadness and extreme resentment.
"No, there's definitely hope! I still have some spiritual energy, let's hold on a little longer..."
After several dozen more laps.
The immense energy swirling in front of Wang Yan suddenly accelerated, its deflection speed increasing, and it continued to swirl inside and outside his body with powerful inertia.
It gradually attracted the surrounding profound energy, continued to grow stronger, and firmly and powerfully dispelled the pressure from the gaze of the young man in the Dharma robe.
The hard floor beneath Wang Yan's feet had some of the pressure transferred, causing it to gradually crack and make a cracking sound.
The first cracking sound caused the onlookers to stare in disbelief, their mouths agape involuntarily.
Qiu Xuankuang and Qiao Bendu were extremely shocked.
"He...he actually pulled through!"
Never before has a second-level spirit sprout in the Profound Movement Realm been able to withstand the oppressive gaze of a powerhouse at least in the Solid Foundation Realm for such a long time, relying on a strange defensive divine rune.
But Wang Yan actually did it!
At this moment, Wang Yan, whose mind was blank and almost numb, suddenly felt the pressure coming from the front suddenly lessen.
My blurry, black-and-white vision regained some color and gradually became clearer.
The intense pain on his face and in his eyes gradually faded.
Wang Yan's previously icy heart instantly came back to life. His blank, unfocused gaze stiffly shifted twice before regaining focus, and he looked at the Tai Chi circle in front of him with delight.
"It's done! The Tai Chi force-dissipating circle has undergone a qualitative change through quantitative change; it's become powerful enough to counter him!"
The majority of the visual pressure is cleverly transferred to the floor by this Tai Chi-style stress-relief circle.
Unless this young man in the robes pressures him from all angles, if he is only pressured from this aspect, he is already in an invincible position!
Looking at the spinning circle in front of him, driven by the seven divine characters of Tai Chi, seemingly never exhausting its power, Wang Yan's somewhat stiff mind regained its agility.
Then, he was filled with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Although my legs were still trembling.
But it wasn't a trembling that couldn't be sustained; rather, it was a slight, uncontrollable tremor from extremely tense muscles after they relaxed.
Breathing is still difficult, but I can handle the pressure!
"So this is the essence of Tai Chi, the lever principle—using a tiny fulcrum to move the entire Earth!"
"Find the right fulcrum, and as long as it's not an absolute physical domination, any pressure can be relieved!"
As long as the sliding fulcrum isn't destroyed by a single blow, and the force is dissipated, it can never be broken!
Realizing this, Wang Yan was overwhelmed with emotion. His eyes welled up with tears, and his vision suddenly became moist. With tears in his eyes, he looked proudly and confidently at the young man in the Dharma robe opposite him, who was filled with surprise and confusion.
"You didn't expect that, did you? Even though you didn't kill me in one go, I still have a way to fight you!"
Just then, Huo Erdan and Di Nan's anxious and worried voices rang out from behind: "Please, Uncle-Master, spare Yanzi!"
My eardrums were still buzzing.
Therefore, these two voices sounded ethereal and seemed quite distant.
But then, Wang Yan saw Huo Erdan and Di Nan step forward one after the other, anxiously clasping their hands in a fist and bow to the young man in the Dharma robe: "Uncle-Master! Please let Wang Yan go! He didn't mean to talk back to you!"
Wang Yan's eyes immediately welled up with tears again.
It was expected that Huo Erdan would plead for mercy.
But surprisingly, Di Nan also came to plead for him!
"They're all good brothers!"
"However, this powerful figure may not be able to kill me so easily now!"
The young man in the robe stared at him suspiciously for a long time, then slowly turned his eyes and looked expressionlessly at Huo Erdan and Di Nan, who were pleading for mercy.
The pressure on Wang Yan's chest immediately lessened by at least half.
My breathing started to become easier.
He was propelled forward a couple of steps by the momentum before quickly regaining his footing and dispersing the seven-character Tai Chi combination from his mind.
But he still stared at the young man in the monk's robe with disdain.
"Hmph, so they figured they couldn't kill me right away, so they're taking advantage of Erdan and Di Nan's pleas to let me go?"
"If you can't win an argument, you resort to violence. You don't use your brain at all. No wonder you failed when combining the characters for 'god'! I don't think you'll succeed in the future!"
Wang Yan was seething with resentment when suddenly Zhu Siniu's indignant shout rang out behind him: "Wang Yan, how dare you!"
Wang Yan subconsciously turned around and saw Zhu Siniu straighten his thick neck, point at him, and have a "you're dead" expression on his face.
"Your senior uncle was kindly reminding you and giving you a chance to stop you from making a mistake so you wouldn't be expelled from the sect, yet you still don't repent and dare to question this senior uncle?"
Uncle-Master?
But previously, Qiu Xuankuang, who was on duty, clearly addressed the young man in the Dharma robe in front of him as "Grandmaster"!
Wait a minute... Just now, Huo Erdan and Di Nan and the others all addressed the young man in the magic robe as "Uncle-Master".
Wang Yan suddenly realized something.
"I previously used 'eyes that see in all directions, ears that hear in all directions,' and their hearing isn't as good as mine; they didn't hear Qiu Xuankuang call out 'Grandmaster'!"
Moreover, at this moment, there was a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of Zhong Jinghuo's slightly thin lips.
Recalling his terrifying experience of being on the verge of death, the resentment in Wang Yan's heart, which had not yet completely dissipated, was suddenly reignited.
Damn it, this young-looking big shot in front of me has temporarily given up punishing me, so why should I put up with your wrath, Zhu Si Niu?
Wang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head, and suddenly rushed towards Zhu Siniu, raising his arm and punching the latter hard in his feigned angry face.
A flash of light and shadow.
Then came a deafening roar.
Wang Yan's angry punch landed heavily on Zhu Siniu's pointed face, sending his burly body flying backward and knocking down several unsuspecting Level 2 Spirit Sprouts.
"Ah!" Many of the Level 2 Spirit Sprouts present, who were forced to dodge, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
