Chapter 60: Secret Technique: Madness
After quickly adjusting the spiritual power consumption of the Earth Splitting Claw, the Dongyun Wolf, who was originally curled up on the ground, no longer had time to deal with the dozen or so wounds that Tian Jihong had brought to him just now, and directly lowered his head and swooped towards Tian Jihong's position. With the speed of the spirit beast, the distance of only a few meters can be crossed in an instant, seeing the giant wolf that opened its bloody mouth and pounced on him, at this time, the cold teeth were about to touch his head, Tian Jihong didn't have time to get rid of the discomfort on his body, so he had to use all his strength to hold the two ends of the dagger with both hands against the attacking wolf teeth.
At the same time as the wolf's fang made contact with the dagger, another thrilling wrestling unfolded. However, this time, the giant wolf with the advantage of taking off obviously has the upper hand, and at the critical moment, Tian Jihong collided with the other party without waiting for his strength, and it was inevitable to be suppressed by the Dongyun wolf, who was already good at strength. I saw that the latter, who had not had time to get up from the ground at this time, was pressed under the huge body of the giant wolf with a solid lower body, and Tian Jihong only felt that his legs were like being pressed by Mount Tai and suffered a heavy blow, causing his waist to appear temporarily paralyzed.
At the same time, under the brute force of the giant wolf's neck, the dagger he stretched out was only barely blocking the fangs that were about to fall to his face, but his strength was not enough to push the opponent's head aside, so the two sides were at a stalemate in this position.
What's even more troublesome is that the short dagger in Tianjihong's hand is only slightly harder than the mortal fine iron, and at this time, it is already a little unable to bear the strength of the wolf's teeth. At this time, he felt that the contact point between the dagger and the wolf's tooth seemed to be about to crack, and his forehead was less than a foot away from the wolf's tooth above, and this dagger was the only barrier that could stop the latter's fall.
The only thing to be thankful for is that due to the opponent's too wide body, under the attack of concentrating all the strength of the wolf's head, the claws of the Dongyun wolf did not touch Tianjihong's body, and the latter was completely pressed under the belly of the giant wolf at this moment. But now it is a matter of life and death, and the dagger, which cannot withstand the strength of the wolf's teeth, gradually droops, made a subtle "click" sound at this time, and it seems that it is about to be broken. Tian Jihong knew that he couldn't spare the slightest hand at this time, and under the extremely fast operation and self-cultivation technique, all the spiritual power in the dantian exploded in an instant.
The reborn Tian Ji Hong suddenly felt as if his limbs had been poured with a dose of good medicine, and the spiritual power that continued to flow between the meridians made his whole body burst out with infinite power, and the dizziness caused by the previous beast skills was finally swept away.
Driven by such vitality, Tian Jihong first bent his knee and struck the giant wolf's belly hard, causing the giant wolf who felt the pain to subconsciously relax the sharp teeth of the dagger. And then Tian Jihong grabbed this fleeting fighter, the spiritual power between his arms worked, and when the opponent's strength eased somewhat, he twisted the wolf's head to the side of him. At this time, it was too late for the Dongyun Wolf to bite downwards again, and under the skillful unloading of the opponent, the falling fangs only touched the rock on the right side of Tianjihong's head.
Taking advantage of the other party's efforts to bury his head, Tian Jihong swung his left hand and punched it accurately, smashing it into the heavenly spirit cover of the giant wolf that was tilted to the side. I have to say that the braincase of this giant wolf is also extremely hard, and through the fur, Tian Jihong, who took the initiative to attack, felt a hot pain on the back of his hand. But the effect of this punch was still quite obvious, the Dongyun wolf that was hit at the gate was smashed, and the whole body immediately fell to the ground as if it was paralyzed, and the strength used by the limbs to contain the Tianjihong below also dissipated, making the latter suddenly feel the pressure on the lower half of his body.
Such a rare opportunity can be described as fleeting, and Tianjihong must seize every second to reverse the situation that has just been unfavorable to him. At this time, he felt that his right arm holding the dagger was tightly pressed by the giant wolf who fell to the ground, so Tian Jihong decisively gave up the idea of killing the opponent directly with the dagger, and instead liberated his lower body first when the opponent collapsed.
So he used his spiritual power again, using his unrestrained left hand to support the giant wolf's left front paw, and after rolling sideways, Tianjihong finally got rid of the huge body that was pressing him again. Unfortunately, when he finally broke free of his right hand, which was suppressed by the wolf's head, the overwhelmed dagger broke in two in the collision with the rocks on the ground.
Without a weapon, it is now difficult for Tian Jihong to completely solve the Dongyun Wolf in a short period of time, and the other dagger that was bounced by the giant wolf stayed at the edge of the cliff, which was not a short distance away from him, and now it must be too late to get up and pick it up, what he should do now is to seize the gap when the opponent shows his declining momentum and cause as much damage to the opponent as possible. Therefore, Tian Jihong decided to take advantage of the opponent's relieves to launch an attack to take the initiative, so that he could always suppress the opponent's actions in the subsequent confrontation.
The giant wolf that fell to the ground had just recovered from the weak state of Venus in his eyes, and the continuous heavy punches that Tian Jihong threw in front of him were already raining down. Unexpectedly, under the tide of attack, the Dongyun Wolf definitely couldn't mobilize all the spiritual power in his body to face the battle, so he had to reluctantly wave his claws to parry the opponent's fist as much as possible to protect the vital head position.
It's just that Tian Jihong also understands that although he has the advantage in the first strike at the moment, it is still difficult to completely defeat the opponent with such an offensive with his bare hands. If you can't launch a fatal blow, just these skin injuries on your body now, the other party may not take long to recover if they have a secret method of healing.
At this time, the giant wolf on the opposite side had gradually stabilized the situation with his rich combat experience, and his somewhat messy pace slowly stabilized after fighting and retreating. In less than twenty rounds, the Dongyun Wolf was already able to take all the punches swung by Tianjihong, no longer being passively beaten as at the beginning, and even being able to occasionally send a few harassing attacks to the opponent while defending to block Tianjihong's coherent attack. The contest between the two sides has officially entered a white-hot stage at this moment.
In the next few minutes, I saw that the fists, feet and minions on the huge platform were intertwined, and the two figures, one large and one small, were constantly colliding and moving between the rocks, and both of them with similar strength were angry. Although Tian Ji Hong once again chose to use his flexible body to wrestle with the giant wolf after seeing his opponent gradually stabilize the situation, the Dongyun Wolf, who had already suffered a loss, was also the same as himself yesterday, standing cunningly with his back against the rock wall in the area covered by rocks, and using the obstacles around him to block Tian Ji Hong so that Tian Ji Hong could not find its vital point to launch a fatal blow.
In this way, there is no better way to Tian Jihong can only choose to collide with the opponent head-on, at this time, his fists, elbows, knees, and feet are all turned into terrible weapons, sending out round after round of fierce attacks on the opponent, and he himself is like incarnating an ancient beast, constantly rampage in the narrow space within two feet around the cliff. In the hand-to-hand combat between the two, this fist-to-flesh and claw-to-claw battle was thrilling, and after a while, all kinds of scars appeared on the surface of the bodies of both sides.
Another whip leg slammed into the giant wolf's cheek, and after narrowly avoiding the giant claws that came from the sideways, Tianjihong rolled sideways to the rock on the left. This heavy kick was a rare and quite effective attack, and Tian Jihong on the back of the rock only heard the long howl of the giant wolf in pain from behind him, and it was obviously the heavy blow to the door that made this guy completely berserk.
Tian Jihong, who had not had time to rejoice, finally angered his opponent completely at this time. Hiding behind the rock, he couldn't see that the gaze of the giant wolf clinging to the stone wall changed, as if he had made up his mind, and the spiritual power in his body instantly exploded, which was a big improvement compared to the one just now. And under such a change, the hair between the body of the wolf gradually turned red, and the pupils that were already fierce were dyed with a touch of blood, and the four sharp claws were also stretched by three inches as if they had just released their beast skills, and when they moved slightly, they left a mark several inches deep between the hard rocks.
At the most critical moment of fierce battle with the opponent, what the Dongyun Wolf was urging at this time was his housekeeping skill - [Madness]. This skill is different from the general beast skills, clearing the physical body to urge spiritual power and casting skills to cause damage to the opponent, and the madness is more of an improvement of one's own state, similar to a passive skill. If Li Ming, who is well versed in the secrets of the martial arts world, sees this scene at this time, he will definitely exclaim. Although it is not uncommon for the skill of madness to appear among spirit beasts, it is quite rare for it to appear in an ordinary Dongyun wolf like this today.
The skill of madness is to strengthen one's body in a short period of time to a level far beyond normal times through the temporary release of spiritual power in the body beyond the limit, so that when the opponent is defenseless, the opponent can be knocked down with overwhelming force in an instant to end the battle. Therefore, madness does not directly deal damage to enemies like traditional beast techniques or martial arts, and its positioning is more like a secret skill.
In addition to the beast skills that appear in high-level spirit beasts, there are also many martial arts monks who have cultivated madness skills, and there is an ancient martial arts family in the Southern Regions, the Huyan clan. Most of its martial arts are based on heavy weapons used by brute force, and madness is a unique secret skill inherited within his family. Different from the rudimentary or incomplete madness martial arts on the continent, the secret skills of the Huyan clan are more focused on improving the defense of their own bodies, making their bodies almost invulnerable to water and fire in a short period of time, and opponents often have to choose to be restrained while completely unable to break through their own defenses.
