This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 379 - 91: It’s Noon, The Sunlight Pours Over the City (Part 2)_2
The fourth Implant to be incorporated was of the Gold Attribute, because gold generates water.
The last one to be incorporated was the Earth Attribute Implant, because earth generates gold. (Note 1)
Hao Yi had suffered a severe injury when he attempted to construct his Martial Arts Foundation and aimed to Breakthrough, resulting in damage to his Tao Foundation, with the most severe damage being to the last incorporated Earth Attribute Implant "Magnetic Corner".
Since the last incorporated Implant plays the critical role of ’connecting the preceding with the following’, once a Breakthrough attempt fails, the last incorporated Implant will bear the brunt of the damage, suffering the most severely!
Also, due to the absence of this link, Hao Yi’s Fire Attribute Force could not circulate completely, and the fire toxin kept accumulating within his body, causing mutations in both his hands.
However, even though the Earth Attribute Implant "Magnetic Corner" was the most severely damaged, Hao Yi casually used "Magnetic Corner" when he made a move against Wei Ge.
If the damage had truly been severe, he could have used other means, after all, Wei Ge was merely a Qi Change Stage Refining Strength Martial Master that he was dealing with.
Regrettably, everyone present at the time was engrossed in Hao Yi’s clash with Yu Hu, and no one paid attention to Hao Yi disciplining a minor character.
Otherwise, they could have discerned something from this detail.
Now, Hao Yi has even displayed more potent extraordinary abilities with "Magnetic Corner"!
This was tantamount to laying all his cards on the table.
This meant that over the years, Hao Yi’s internal injuries were not worsening as others had thought.
"Attack together!"
The Tributor from the Tao Foundation Stage who had a past grievance with Hao Yi bellowed, taking the lead and charging towards Hao Yi.
The four Possession Stage Great Mages of the Righteous Law General Institute joined hands to form an array that could even temporarily restrain a Martial Arts Master, let alone Hao Yi at the Tao Foundation Stage?
Even if Hao Yi had returned to his former peak, with the Four Symbols Star Constellation Sealing consuming most of his heart power and force, it would be difficult for him to cope with the Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses present.
As the Tao Foundation Stage Tributor charged forward, Chu Po and the others also made their moves.
Obliged by their duties and with so many important figures observing from behind, they could not afford to hold back.
Watching the five Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses rush toward him, Hao Yi remained calm and flipped his extended right hand downwards:
"Fall."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In mid-air, about half of the several hundred fireballs blocking the Big Array suddenly fell towards the five Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses.
Like meteoric fireballs crashing down from the sky, these fireballs descended with a terrifying momentum, forcing the five Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses to deal with them first.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The ground shook continuously, and large craters were smashed into the Glory Square.
When the fireballs exploded, the Weapons inside disintegrated, turning into countless iron fragments that splashed around as if from exploding shells!
Some of these iron fragments struck the Protective Force of the Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses, crumbling to dust, while others melted into molten iron upon impact and fell to the ground.
The molten iron on the ground interconnected, drawing together more fire force that pooled, then erupted!
The five Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses seemed to be in the middle of a blazing inferno, with flames shooting out from both above and below them.
These flames were actually Heaven and Earth Furnace Force, created by Hao Yi in a localized area that entrapped the five Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses, as if to smelt them into molten iron!
Meanwhile, as half of the ’fireballs’ accelerated their descent, the remaining ’fireballs’ were propelled by a reactive force and crashed violently into the Big Array above, causing them to burst open as well.
Boom, boom, boom, boom—
A display of ’fireworks’ exploded in the sky above the square, as if a fiery river flowed through the heavens, and the Four Symbols Star Constellation Sealing shook violently, the Magic Artifacts affected by the severe disturbance, pushed back in disarray.
Heaven sends forth a deadly peril, Molten Rock Hell!
On the Execution Platform, Xu Jing watched this familiar scene unfold, recalling his own encounter with Hao Yi.
Hao Yi actually possessed only four core-level extraordinary abilities, theoretically putting him in the Seventh Tier of the Tao Foundation Stage.
Yet, back then, he stood firmly at the Peak of the Tao Foundation Stage, becoming a powerhouse above the Seventh Tier, relying on his superb combat skills that were unparalleled.
By perfectly combining force with various extraordinary abilities, he created the ’Heaven and Earth Furnace’ present before them!
With the reappearance of this Heaven and Earth Furnace, it meant that Hao Yi’s combat power, even if it had not fully returned to his peak of those days, was almost there.
Back then, the reason Hao Yi had managed to leave Datong Prefecture City alive, aside from Shi Caiming’s strong protection, was also because he suffered significant damage to his Tao Foundation, with all five of his Implants being largely ruined.
Everyone who had seen Hao Yi reached the same conclusion: This man was finished!
The latter half of his life would be nothing more than that of a common Martial Arts Foundation Stage, unable to make any significant achievements. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
If they hadn’t been convinced of this, not even Shi Caiming’s efforts to protect him could have persuaded those in power in Datong Prefecture to let Hao Yi live and leave.
Yet now, this man, deemed ’ruined’, was single-handedly holding off a Big Array set by four Great Mages and five Tao Foundation Stage fighters!
No one knew how he had managed it.
No one knew why this man, who had been targeted by almost the entire Datong Prefecture for over thirty years and suffered a crushing defeat in the end, still continued to struggle and refused to give up.
Today, Hao Yi had brought forth the accumulation and results of his past thirty years, yet he appeared here in the guise of rescuing the condemned.
He had strived for over thirty years, hoping for a fresh start.
But today, he had given it all up.
He had gone against the ’Tao’ he had always adhered to.
This man had never deigned to explain himself, and when previously confronted by Xu Jing’s questions, he had merely responded indifferently with "So what if I did?"
No one knew his current state of mind, not even Xu Jing could tell.
"Is that all there is?"
Xu Jing asked disdainfully, looking at Hao Yi, who stood his ground.
In fact, this scheme was launched sooner than anticipated, as Hao Yi’s actions in Xing City had made some people uneasy.
Now, it seemed that acting earlier was indeed necessary.
But Xu Jing still spoke mockingly,
"If it’s only to this extent, then you don’t even deserve to die by my hands!"
As his words ended, several more figures dashed toward this side.
Among them were two professors from Wuda, one of them being Wen Ke, who had previously ranked seventh on Feng Province’s Leaderboard; now eighth after being surpassed by Green-faced Ghost.
Another professor was named Guan Haixuan, who had been third on the leaderboard, now replaced by Green-faced Ghost and thus ranking fourth.
Wen Ke was at 5.5 Tier of the Tao Foundation Stage, and Guan Haixuan was at 6.5 Tier!
Besides these professors, Fan Yan, a top expert from the provincial city charged with protecting the safety of the investigative team, had also arrived.
Known as ’Dragon Splitter’, he was a famous Martial Arts expert in the city whose claim to fame was defeating a fifth-grade high-level Dragon Beast in one-on-one combat.
On the leaderboard updated by Moon Viewing Tower, Fan Yan was currently ranked seventh, also a 5.5 Tier of the Tao Foundation Stage power.
Thus, including Chu Po, who had been tenth on the leaderboard before being squeezed out, there were now four Leaderboard experts on the scene!
Although Hao Yi had effortlessly blocked the Four Symbols Star Formation Sealing and five Tao Foundation Stage opponents with a flick of his wrist, he was not as relaxed as he appeared.
If Wen Ke and the others joined the fight, the situation would instantly reverse!
That’s why Xu Jing said, if Hao Yi’s capabilities were just limited to this, then he didn’t even deserve to die at his hands.
Because there was no need for him to take action.
While others might simply want Hao Yi to die, Xu Jing wanted Hao Yi to break down mentally before his death!
He wanted Hao Yi to exhaust all his efforts and use all his strength, yet still be unable to save anyone, and then watch as Shangguan Xiao died before him.
"Onward."
Xu Jing said coldly.
Wen Ke still wore a gentle expression as she bowed slightly towards Hao Yi in the distance:
"Senior Hao Yi, I apologize."
Then, she charged forward.
But in the next second, a figure stepped in front of her, blocking the space between her and Hao Yi.
"Today, none of you shall pass."
The newcomer enunciated each word.
