The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 574 Battle Front
Within the illusion of silence, roars, the sounds of blood and flesh splattering, and the whistling of sharp weapons overlapped and intertwined, only to be torn apart by sonic booms into eerie wailing.

In the center of the battle, a white sonic boom ring sent a massive amount of sand into the air. Immediately, the surrounding air swirled back towards the center of the battle, which was almost compressed into a vacuum, bringing the sand that had been swept into the air back with a whooshing sound.

Li Miao's eyes were tightly closed, and his fists were almost a blur of motion as he swung them wildly forward, seemingly without any strategy.

With the five paths united, he was only one step away from the perfect Heavenly Human Realm. In this struggle, Li Miao finally glimpsed a trace of the characteristics of the perfect Heavenly Human Realm struggle.

First, there is no gap.

There is no time to catch one's breath; the intervals between breaths are enough to fill dozens of moves, which is a fatal flaw for either side. Every move is a desperate attempt to squeeze oxygen from the very marrow of one's bones; even with bloodshot eyes and a throbbing headache, there can be no pause.

Secondly, vision is useless.

It's not that their reactions were slow or their vision was poor; it's just that the martial arts world of Da Shuo was inherently characterized by a strong offense and a weak defense, a situation that wasn't alleviated at all even in the Celestial Realm. The sand, sonic booms, and aftershocks of attacks raised during the fight were enough to obscure their vision or even pierce their fragile eyeballs.

Both sides in the fight were launching a chaotic and reckless attack, the root of which lay in these two points. With their vision almost completely impaired, if they didn't fill all the gaps with attacks, their opponents would exploit them. What appeared to be a frenzied attack was actually more of a defensive maneuver.

Besides defense, this frenzied attack had another purpose—Li Miao's ears suddenly twitched, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his protective true energy suddenly exploded, clearing away a patch of sand in front of him to the left.

Suddenly his eyes snapped open!

flaw!

With vision obscured, the only senses one can rely on are hearing and touch. The reason for the relentless, frenzied attack is to use the sonic booms created by one's own forces to probe the opponent's posture, while simultaneously tearing apart the sonic booms created by the opponent's attacks to conceal one's own weaknesses.

Susanoo, however, was in a daze and revealed a slight flaw in the hundred-plus exchanges of blows!
Following the path opened by the protective true energy, Susanoo revealed the Totsuka Blade that was held horizontally across his chest—he also realized the flaw and immediately went back to defend and make amends.

But in this struggle, the very act of "not attacking" is a weakness!
clang!
Li Miao's fist slammed heavily onto the blade of the Totsuka Sword, the immense force sending Susanoo staggering back half a step, his stance slightly faltering. Before he could regain his footing, he slammed another fist into the spine of the sword!
Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Li Miao makes a furious advance!

Susanoo is suffering repeated defeats!

In the blink of an eye, a barrage of heavy punches sent Susanoo flying back several feet! The Totsuka Blade pressed down slowly toward Susanoo's chest, and it looked like it would be touching his flesh in just three more punches!
clang!
With his first punch, Susanoo roared and raised his foot to aim for Li Miao's groin. Before he could fully raise his foot, Li Miao's whip kick came from the side, deflecting the force of the kick!

"Strong, but not very bright!"

"A false god built from flesh and blood has too little combat experience and his moves are a complete mess!"

clang!
With his second punch, Susanoo's eyes flashed, but he did not try to block Li Miao's heavy punch again. Instead, he took the initiative to press the Totsuka Sword against his chest, and at the same time, he pushed off with his feet, using the momentum of Li Miao's punch to accelerate and fly backward!

Li Miao's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he pressed forward to catch up.

"Finally, you've got some brains!"

Susanoo's retreat was not without purpose; he had found the best way to neutralize Li Miao's attack—distance!
Li Miao is currently fighting a dummy body created using the illusion of silence and protective true energy, which cannot stray more than ten feet from his true body. Li Miao's several heavy punches earlier had already knocked him back several feet; once he leaves this area, Li Miao will no longer be able to pursue him!
The third punch.

Li Miao slammed down with his fist!
They were only one step away from the ten-zhang boundary!
Susanoo's eyes flashed again, and then he directly raised his hand and smashed the Totsuka Sword towards Li Miao!

He directly abandoned his legendary divine weapon! And with this action, he retreated ten feet away! In an instant, Li Miao changed his fist into a claw, grabbed the Ten Fist Sword, and thrust it out with a swift motion!
Sword Twenty-Four!

Li Miao's dislike of weapons doesn't mean he can't use them. He created the Twenty-Three Swords of Mei Qinghe, and now that Susanoo has given him a weapon, he naturally won't waste it!

The long blade of the Totsuka Sword crossed the ten-zhang boundary and pointed towards Susanoo's heart!

Zheng!
The sword's edge stopped in mid-air.

A giant hand blocked the sword's edge, its extraordinary and condensed true energy achieving an effect almost identical to [Myriad Manifestations], blocking the Ten Fist Sword as if it were a tangible object!
The hand that blocked the sword's edge seemed both real and illusory. Following the hand and arm upwards, one could see a huge humanoid figure that completely enveloped Susanoo.

Blue-faced with fangs, a golden body on a lotus throne.

Truly normal!

What appeared behind Susanoo was the phantom of the demon Buddha that appeared when Jianzhen unleashed his full power against Li Miao, and it was also the divine wonder of the final stage of the Celestial Realm—Zhenchang!

Li Miao was not surprised at all. He pointed his sword upwards and once again aimed at Susanoo's chest!
"Ami - roar!"

Susanoo roared, his voice a mixture of half a Buddhist chant and half a furious shout. Then, his fists rained down on Li Miao, and the phantom of the demon Buddha behind him also roared and threw punches!

Boom boom boom boom! ——

Smoke and dust suddenly rose!

Susanoo stepped forward, and the phantom of the Demon Buddha behind him threw a series of punches, the dust stretching forward and instantly pushing the battle line to the very beginning of the fight.

Susanoo's neck veins bulged as he unleashed a powerful punch! Behind him, the massive phantom of a demonic Buddha bulged with muscles, shattering its golden body, and roared as it also delivered a punch!
boom!
It was truly as if the sky had collapsed!
The sand and gravel within a radius of several feet were all shaken into the sky, then fell onto the distant sea with a splash, creating dense ripples like raindrops.

Swish!
Li Miao was sent flying backward from the dust and smoke. His Ten-Fist Sword slammed into the sand, and he only managed to slow his retreat when he was right next to his body.

Li Miao's flesh and blood, from his left shoulder to his lumbar spine, were piled up on his pelvic bone like soil crushed by a boulder, and his side profile was nothing but bare white bones.

"That's quite common, interesting."

He raised his hand to touch his face, and the gravel beneath his feet climbed up his legs and feet, sticking to the wounds and turning into flesh and blood to fill them.

The injury is not important.

The foundation of this body is illusion and true energy; it has no vital points and can be replenished at any time while residing within the illusion of one's own mind.

The real key point is distance.

Before his injuries could heal, Li Miao rushed forward, shielding the main body with its eyes closed behind him, and faced Susanoo, who was roaring and charging forward again.

Zhenchang, truly worthy of being called the most miraculous of the last sexual cultivation techniques!
With just one round of fierce attacks, Susanoo forced the battle line right in front of Li Miao's main body!
