Yang Jun roared and charged at Wang Qi. The vestment robe he wore had been scorched crisp and curly by the high heat, losing all its effectiveness. When Yang Jun launched his attack, the vestment robe actually self-ignited. Wang Qi sucked in a cold breath. It's true that the Heavenly Entropy Technique can raise the temperature indefinitely, but the prerequisite is having enough mana and not burning oneself. Wang Qi could ignite his own vestment robe with the Heavenly Entropy Technique, but before igniting the robe, his skin would be burnt off. What supreme technique had this guy cultivated that allowed the heat to surge to such levels? Wang Qi swung his sword, continuously blocking Yang Jun's punches. His swordsmanship was far inferior to his hand-to-hand combat skills. Although anchored in the basic sword technique with an utterly solid foundation, and possessing the core essence of the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword from the manuscripts of the Daoist of Uncertainty, allowing him a glimpse of the pinnacle of swordsmanship, Wang Qi's journey on the Sword Dao would be smooth sailing. But, not now. He had found the door to climb the mountain and had seen its peak. However, he had not yet found the path leading to the peak. Wang Qi couldn't even incorporate the Impermanence Sky Changing Style into his swordsmanship. His lack of mastery in swordsmanship resulted in him being pushed back step by step. Soon, Wang Qi realized this was not working. The flying sword in his hand had also been heated red, and the magic seals inside began to crack. The luster on the flying sword became unstable, and its power gradually decreased. Enduring a burning heat as if it would pierce through his lungs, Wang Qi inhaled a sweltering breath of air. The roughly made flying sword, meant for Immortal Institute disciples to practice with, was about to fail. Facing him barehanded would mean even slimmer chances of victory, so he would have to make a decisive move now. Wang Qi adjusted his breathing and began to accumulate more strength with each collision between fist and sword. Then, with all his might, he slashed! In this slash, Wang Qi abandoned all defense; the long sword aimed straight for Yang Jun's head! Yang Jun, whether insane or foolish, did not dodge or defend and instead slapped his hands fiercely onto Wang Qi's shoulders, attacking directly with his mana. But, Wang Qi had already struck Yang Jun's neck. The two were similar in speed, and Wang Qi had struck first. In Wang Qi's calculation, this move was enough to end Yang Jun's life. Once Yang Jun was dead, his offensive momentum would naturally cease. Wang Qi would at most be hit by the residual shock. A Law Enforcer, hindered by duty, wouldn't strike to kill right from the start, but Wang Qi would. The sword met flesh, encountered bone, and then the long sword got stuck inside Yang Jun's neck. Wang Qi's heart sank. Once the magic sword penetrated Yang Jun's body, Wang Qi felt the mana attached to the long sword quickly disperse into chaos, magic seals shattering one after another. A decapitating strike, powered by all the might of a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, was reduced to a mere ordinary swing! How much destructive power could there be in a normal single-handed sword swung with the strength of a mortal? At least not enough to sever Yang Jun's head. When mortals carry out beheadings, they need strong men wielding heavy executioner's blades to do the job. Wang Qi's strike hadn't even severed Yang Jun's cervical spine. If Yang Jun were still a mortal at this time, the outcome of victory or defeat and life or death would have already been determined. A mortal with a severed aorta would bleed to death within minutes. A mortal who suffers impact to the cervical spine might be paralyzed if not killed. But Yang Jun was no longer like a human being. After spraying a mist of blood from his wound, he continued his attack as if nothing had happened. Wang Qi was indeed hit solidly. It hurt, a piercing pain. Tears almost came to Wang Qi's eyes when he was struck. Then, he felt his cultivation strength collapsing throughout his body! Wang Qi cherished his life. After seeing his true self and crying out "I want longevity," he cherished it even more. Before he had swung that sword, Wang Qi had actually already prepared his defense; the Heavenly Entropy Technique Entropy Reduction was already in motion. So what if your fists are filled with heat? This kind of thermodynamic attack can just be countered with the coolness from the Heavenly Entropy Technique! It was only after Wang Qi had activated the Heavenly Entropy Technique to the point where even he felt a bone-piercing cold that he exchanged injuries with Yang Jun. However, Wang Qi hadn't anticipated the strength of Yang Jun to be so mysterious. The mana flow throughout Wang Qi's body was cut off bit by bit, and without control, the mana began to run wild and shoot about. Wang Qi's head buzzed, and he suddenly felt utterly disoriented! Oh no! With the last bit of his consciousness, Wang Qi concentrated all his Phase Waves into his legs, then kicked out. When this kick hit Yang Jun, it did no harm; the Phase Waves distorted and dissipated upon contact with Yang Jun's body. But alongside the Phase Waves also surged the Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy. The golden probability waves seemed ephemeral, as if encompassing countless possibilities. Under Wang Qi's gaze, the formless probability waves started to collapse, and then, a dazzling golden light appeared between the two of them. With a loud bang, the Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy turned into an explosive attack. Wang Qi and Yang Jun were separated by the blast wave from the explosion, and as the Heavenly Entropy Technique went into action, Wang Qi's mind cleared, then he swiftly gathered his internal mana. Taking advantage of the fact that Yang Jun hadn't gotten up yet, Wang Qi quickly rolled behind a clump of bushes. After transforming into a demon, Yang Jun's combat abilities had improved by countless measures, but his mind was not clear. He got up, looked around bewilderedly, and didn't seek out Wang Qi right away, let alone release his Spiritual Sense. He just muttered, "Exterminate demons... Exterminate demons..." and wandered aimlessly. Behind the bushes, Wang Qi grimaced in pain. His vestment robe had been burned through, and two fist-sized wounds were burned onto his shoulder. Fortunately, he had previously cooled down with the Heavenly Entropy Technique, so he didn't suffer deep burns. At this moment, he heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground behind him. When he looked back, he was utterly dumbfounded. The Flying Sword that he hadn't managed to retrieve in time, which he had stuck in Yang Jun's neck, had been burned and melted off; the part of the Flying Sword protruding was broken into two pieces and fell to the ground, while another piece was something Yang Jun apparently didn't even think about pulling out. He allowed it to melt inside the wound. The wound on his neck had already healed, but not back to its original state. An ugly, twisted, gray tissue filled the wound, making Yang Jun look as if he had a half-circle of a tumor growing on his neck. And that wasn't all. The vestment robe on Yang Jun's body had also been burned away. It was only then that Wang Qi realized Yang Jun was not resistant to high temperatures; he simply didn't care about burns. His skin had long been burned away, replaced by a layer of gray tumors. What was even more terrifying was that the residual fires on Yang Jun had not been extinguished, and the tumors continued to be burned away. But no matter how much was burned, the tumors would regenerate rapidly. Wang Qi muttered unconsciously, "What kind of monster is this..." Suddenly, Daoist Zhen Chan spoke up, "I might know a thing or two."
