Li Zheng's twin hammers are entirely forged from meteorite iron, shaped like octahedrons and extremely heavy. Ordinary practitioners at the Bone Refinement Realm cannot wield such weapons with ease; only someone like Li Zheng, who has reached the Sixth Rank Peak as a Martial Cultivator, could possibly use them.
Once such a heavy weapon is propelled by immense strength, the resulting power is astonishing.
At this moment, as Li Zheng swings one of his hammers, it appears weightless in his hands, demonstrating remarkable ease. A fierce wind erupts, causing the air to explode repeatedly, creating an impressive spectacle. People have no doubt that even a stone mountain would be shattered by a single blow from him!
This strike not only carries tremendous weight but also moves with incredible speed. Just a slight sensation leads Lufan to instantly conclude that he cannot take this hit head-on; otherwise, he might suffer severe injuries from a single blow!
Since he cannot withstand it directly, he must evade the peak of the attack. Fortunately, although Li Zheng's attack speed is fast, he is using a heavy hammer, which imposes a limit on his speed.
With his upper body remaining still and only his legs exerting force, Lufan retreats three feet back as if shrinking the distance. After dodging this strike, he springs forward like a coiled spring, his Azure Mantis Sword flicking in and out like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, aiming once more at Li Zheng's head.
Facing Lufan's repeated tactic, Li Zheng smirks disdainfully. He simply shifts his left hand holding the hammer to protect his head completely.
Clang!
The Azure Mantis Sword strikes against the hammer's surface, producing a sound akin to a temple bell ringing. One can imagine how much force Lufan put into this thrust!
Unfortunately, this astonishing strike only produced a shower of sparks upon impact and left no effect whatsoever—not even a scratch.
After blocking Lufan's sword strike, Li Zheng’s right hand traced a mysterious arc before he swung the hammer down again!
Lufan had no choice but to retreat once more and immediately activated Lingbo Weibu, beginning to circle around Li Zheng while probing for weaknesses.
Li Zheng paid no mind to these probing attacks; his twin hammers flew through the air like shooting stars, continuously smashing toward Lufan. Wherever they passed, explosive energy erupted as if a storm were raging.
This time, the people who were once full of anticipation no longer held any hope for Lufan, simply because they had heard Slim Elder's words: Li Zheng had actually reached the realm of Resonating Bones and Muscles!
Resonating Bones and Muscles refers to a physical realm. For Loose Cultivators, this is a legend that represents the pinnacle of physical strength for Martial Cultivators below the Seventh Rank.
It is rumored that for a Martial Cultivator to break through to the Seventh Rank and achieve mastery, two conditions must be met. First and foremost, they must attain a deep understanding of their craft. Secondly, their body must be tempered to the limit of what they can achieve, and this state is marked by Resonating Bones and Muscles.
This is because a Martial Cultivator seeking to break through to the Seventh Rank must undergo marrow refining, which is an extremely dangerous process. Even if a Martial Cultivator has grasped the deep understanding, a slight misstep can easily ruin their cultivation.
Therefore, before a Sixth-Rank Martial Practitioner can refine their marrow, they must first temper their body to the state of Resonating Bones and Muscles. They need to replenish their bone marrow with abundant vital energy and blood to strengthen it to a certain level before proceeding with marrow refining.
What does Resonating Bones and Muscles mean?
Resonating Bones and Muscles means that a Martial Cultivator has used a series of methods to temper their skin, flesh, blood, bones, tendons, and membranes to an extreme state where they are unified as one. Their vital energy and blood become highly refined, causing their muscles and bones to tremble slightly during movement, resulting in a continuous resonance, hence the name.
A Martial Cultivator whose body has reached the state of Resonating Bones and Muscles is a terrifying existence.
Firstly, their control over their own body has reached an extreme state. They can not only twist their joints at will but also control every inch of muscle on their body with ease. The stimulation of vital energy and blood occurs almost instantaneously with thought, leaving little room for delay.
Just like now, Lufan could no longer predict Li Zheng's movements through Senses Unified because the time interval was simply too short.
Moreover, in terms of Martial Arts Techniques, as a Martial Cultivator enhances their body to the state of Resonating Bones and Muscles, they simultaneously temper their willpower and skills. Through countless trials and refinements, their mastery over Martial Arts Techniques becomes exceptionally formidable.
Finally, there is strength. A Martial Cultivator at the state of Resonating Bones and Muscles possesses immense physical strength and vitality that surpasses even that of ordinary Sixth Rank peak experts by several times. Their endurance is astonishing; they are like tireless monsters capable of engaging in prolonged battles.
It can be said that aside from some exceptionally gifted prodigies or those like Lufan who can break certain cultivation rules, Martial Cultivators whose bodies have reached the state of Resonating Bones and Muscles are among the strongest fighters below the level of martial masters.
If subtlety is a miracle, then Resonance of Muscles and Bones is also a legend. Faced with such a powerful opponent, no one would think that Lufan has any chance of winning. After all, so far, one is at Third Rank and the other at Sixth Rank; the gap in their foundational strength is too great.
Moreover, Li Zheng is wearing the protective treasure Heavenly Silkworm Armor, which allows him to almost ignore Lufan's attacks, effectively eliminating any possibility for Lufan to win.
In fact, Lufan's current situation looks quite dire; he is being comprehensively suppressed by Li Zheng.
“Hahaha! You little brat, weren’t you supposed to be capable? Why are you now scurrying around like a rat? Where did that momentum go?”
Li Zheng's face twisted in a fierce expression as he shouted loudly. His dual hammers struck out in rapid succession, each blow heavier and faster than the last. Not only was the power astonishing, but there was also a pulling force controlling the surrounding airflow, continuously compressing Lufan's evasion space and putting him in constant danger.
This was precisely Li Zheng's signature skill, Fengyun Hammer.
Using the dual hammers as an axis, stirring up storms and clouds, waiting for them to converge before striking down on his opponent with thunderous force—this was the essence of this hammer technique.
Lufan remained silent, focusing solely on using Lingbo Weibu to narrowly evade Li Zheng's dual hammers time and again.
However, facing such hammer techniques, he had no good way to counter them. He had already discovered that Li Zheng was fully clad in Heavenly Silkworm Armor; aside from his head, the Azure Mantis Sword could not inflict any damage.
This made Lufan feel like a mouse trying to bite a turtle—there was no way to attack. In this situation, breaking through Li Zheng's meticulously honed hammer technique and defeating him seemed nearly impossible.
On the contrary, Li Zheng had given up most of his defense and unleashed his hammer techniques with terrifying ferocity. So far, Lufan had been relying entirely on his agility from the subtlety realm to barely evade the attacks, with almost no ability to counterattack.
“This is what they call overpowering ten skills with sheer strength,” Lufan thought while dodging. “No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, I can overpower them with my strength; it truly is formidable.”
“Since that's the case, I’ll send you on your way now!” Seeing that Lufan did not respond to him, a fierce light flashed in Li Zheng's eyes as he flipped his hand and struck out with another hammer!
With this strike, Lufan felt an extreme danger surge from his heart, and his expression changed dramatically!
He was horrified to discover that Li Zheng's hammer strike had suddenly increased in speed by ten times!
Originally, the heavy hammer, powered by Li Zheng's strength, was already astonishingly powerful. What did it mean for its speed to increase tenfold again?
A deadly crisis struck suddenly. Lufan had no time to think; he instinctively unleashed Lingbo Weibu to its utmost limit. His entire body twisted like a nimble butterfly, gracefully evading this terrifying blow.
However, that was not the end. In the next moment, Lufan saw Li Zheng unleash a flurry of hammer strikes, each one possessing the same tenfold Attack speed he had just demonstrated. The air surged as if a wall was pressing down on him!
The hammer technique was Raging Gale!
As the lord of a city, even his personal guards possessed techniques to unleash their potential. How could Li Zheng not have even more powerful Secret Techniques? This Raging Gale hammer technique was one of his trump cards, and its strength lay in its ability to enhance his Attack speed tenfold for three breaths!
This was Li Zheng's long-planned killing move!
Faced with this attack, Lufan knew he could not evade it any longer. He could only jump backward, curling his body into a ball mid-air. Just as he barely avoided a glimmer of gold, he was struck by Li Zheng's hammer and sent flying amidst gasps of shock!
Boom!
Hit by such tremendous force, Lufan flew backward at high speed, crashing through the thick walls of the lord's mansion and kicking up countless clouds of dust.
