Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 530 A Thought Without Turning Back

Muzhaluo was also watching the battle closely.

His body was taut like a drawn bow, his amber pupils burning with intense heat as he stared intently at the two figures in the arena, as if trying to etch their every move into his very bones.

Not long ago, his brief confrontation with Zhen Lei struck him like a heavy hammer blow to the heart.

That overwhelming pressure still lingers on his skin; with every breath, he can feel that power raging through his body.

At this moment, a strong desire surged within him.

On the one hand, he was eager to unveil Liang Jin's mysterious veil and see what kind of astonishing strength this young landlord was hiding.

On the other hand, he wanted to understand how Zhen Lei could completely suppress him in an instant, leaving him powerless to fight back.

But after watching for a while, Muzheluo realized there was a problem:
"Something's wrong!"

"Why is it that, even after watching them fight for so long, I still feel like I haven't really seen what they're fighting about, but rather... I'm completely captivated by two inexplicable emotions?!"

"This is... martial intent!"

He finally realized why he had lost so quickly and so miserably in his fight against Zhen Lei.

It turned out that the opponent had already condensed martial intent and stepped into a higher level of martial arts realm. That gap was as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm.

What surprised him even more was that Liang Jin, the seemingly young lord, also possessed martial intent!

A complex light flashed in his eyes as he re-examined Liang Jin, muttering to himself:

"It seems that he is not as simple as the landlord on the surface, and probably actually has real status and power."

"From now on, we must never underestimate him again..."

At this moment, the gaze directed at Liang Jin held two additional expressions of genuine respect—awe for the strong and recognition of their power.

Just then, his gaze sharpened again.

At that moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Liang Jin and Zhen Lei each flashed, retreating like two fierce beasts poised to pounce, forming a standoff.

Zhen Lei's brows furrowed tightly, like a knotted rope, and his voice, hidden behind the mask, carried a metallic, cold, and hoarse quality as he slowly spoke:

"Master Meng, our contest has reached a point where we are basically evenly matched."

"I admit, your marksmanship is superb; I am no match for you in that respect."

"But your third-grade realm is only at the initial stage, and your martial intent has only recently been formed. In this respect, you are not as good as me."

“I know you must still have your own trump cards, but so do I.”

"So, after fighting this far, there's no need for us to fight to the death. Shouldn't we stop and have a proper talk?"

Zhen Lei has extensive experience in martial arts, and after a few exchanges, he has basically determined the situation of both sides.

The only thing that amazed Zhen Lei was Liang Jin's marksmanship.

Even though Zhen Lei had seen many masters of gunplay, he had never seen anyone with a more exquisite gun technique than Liang Jin.

This made Zhen Lei put aside his underestimation of Qingyi Tower.

If Qingyilou performs poorly today, Zhen Lei will definitely capture them all and make them pay for the deaths of Li Wei and many other Six Doors constables.

But since Qingyi Tower is so capable, Zhen Lei can have a serious talk with them.

Zhen Lei was confident that Liang Jin was willing to talk.

After all, he couldn't see any benefit in continuing the fight.

But who knows.

Liang Jin replied dismissively:

"have equal shares?"

"Fighting you wouldn't be a draw."

Zhen Lei frowned.

He felt humiliated!
Since he became the leader of the Four Great Constables, no one has ever dared to humiliate him like this!
This made Zhen Lei clench his fists, and he said in an unfriendly tone:

"Master Meng, you are far too presumptuous!"

Since Liang Jin wanted to continue fighting, he would naturally oblige.

But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Liang Jin gripped the spear with both hands and examined it slowly in front of him.

The movements seemed casual, but Zhen Lei could feel that Liang Jin's aura was rapidly rising!
It seemed that at this moment, Liang Jincai was about to make his real move!

Liang Jin, holding a gun, said:
"The moves of the 'Prairie Fire Spear Technique' are powerful and emphasize the idea of ​​burning the enemy continuously like a prairie fire. It can protect both the head and the tail, with the front and back responding to each other and the moves being closely coordinated."

"This marksmanship is good, but unfortunately it is ultimately a technique created by someone else based on their own characteristics, and it is not really suitable for me."

"That's why, despite my intense practice of this spear technique, the spear intent I ultimately developed still seemed completely out of sync with it."

"Even if you incorporate the essence of the spear into this spear technique, it is still difficult to bring out the full effect of that essence."

The "Prairie Fire Spear Technique" is very powerful, so powerful that Liang Jin has always found it very easy to use.

But all of this happened before Liang Jin could concentrate his spear intent.

Once Liang Jin reached the point where he could condense the intent of the spear, his understanding of the spear had reached an extremely high level, even to the point of being considered one of the world's top levels.

It was precisely because of this that Liang Jincai realized that he could never fully resonate with the "Prairie Fire Spear Technique".

Such a distinctive martial art as "The Wildfire Spear Technique" could probably only be perfectly suited to its creator.

If Liang Jin wants to maximize the effect of his spear technique, the best way is to create a spear technique based on his own characteristics.

Even if it wasn't created entirely from scratch, it was at least like Liang Jin's original creation of the "Great Subduing Demon Fist" after modifying it and combining it with his own techniques.

The combination of the "Great Subduing Demon Fist" and Liang Jin's Dawn Fist Intent is simply astonishingly powerful.

However, Liang Jin first created the "Great Subduing Demon Fist" before refining the fist intent.

Liang Jin has now condensed the essence of the spear, but he has failed to create a new spear technique.

Liang Jin understood the reason very well.

It's simply that the "Great Subduing Demon Fist" is more suitable for Liang Jin, so Liang Jin was able to create the "World Great Subduing Demon Fist" very quickly.

However, the compatibility between "The Prairie Fire Spear Technique" and Liang Jin is not that high.

Even though Liang Jin had condensed the essence of the fist after using it countless times, he still failed to improve and create a new spear technique based on the "Prairie Fire Spear Technique".

but.

Although Liang Jin failed to create a complete set of spear techniques, he could still have created just one or two moves.

Liang Jin held the gun in both hands, his body slightly lowered, and the gun barrels were pointed at Zhen Lei.

"My preferred fighting style is not about going on for three hundred rounds, but about deciding the outcome and life or death with a single move!"

"That's why I've been using the 'Overlord's Armor Removal Technique' even now, despite its great advantages and significant flaws, and I find it very useful."

"Straightforward, blunt, and simple; there's no time for so much consideration."

"This is the style of play I like best and that suits me best!"

At that moment, Zhen Lei felt that Liang Jin's eyes had changed.

If Liang Jin had been using the fighting style advocated by others in his previous martial arts, he would have always found it difficult to break free from their influence.

At this moment, Liang Jin fully revealed his true self and his authentic self.

This also gave him boundless confidence.

More importantly, at this moment, Liang Jin seemed to have turned into a madman!
In a fit of rage, they disregard everything else, only seeking swift revenge, without considering the consequences or scheming involved.

Once a move is made, it is unstoppable.

I dare to take down the emperor even if I am willing to be killed!

Such an aura even made Zhen Lei feel a chill run down his spine:
"what happened?"

"My martial intent was clearly formed earlier than his, and it's also slightly stronger." "But why do I feel myself caught up in the intense emotions brought about by his martial intent now?"

"I have a feeling... I'm in danger right now!"

If this sense of danger is what makes Zhen Lei hesitate...

What he sensed next made Zhen Lei's hair stand on end.

He felt that Liang Jin's aura suddenly became violent and chaotic, as if he had gone mad.

However, Liang Jin's aura was constantly rising, as if he had already surpassed the third rank in strength.

With Zhen Lei's knowledge, he naturally recognized this martial art:

"It's the 'Overlord's Armor Removal Technique'! He actually knows this martial art!"

Zhen Lei had previously heard Liang Jin mention the "Overlord's Armor Removal Technique" to himself, and thought that Liang Jin was just deliberately trying to distract the enemy with his words. He never expected that Liang Jin would actually know it.

"Since the Liu family was wiped out, this martial art should have been lost to the world long ago."

"Why would he? Could he be from the Liu family?!"

Zhen Lei's mind was filled with countless speculations.

But he wasn't panicked at all.

Since he recognized this martial art, he naturally understood its characteristics.

That is to completely abandon defense and pursue the ultimate offensive power.

Once Liang Jin uses this martial art, it means that he himself will become fragile, easily broken and knocked down with a single blow!
For a moment, Zhen Lei believed he had figured out how to defeat Liang Jin, which made him eager to try.

A lightning bolt nail was tucked into his sleeve, ready to be fired!
This lightning nail is a hidden weapon crafted by the Six Doors Mechanism. It is a hexagonal bone-piercing nail made of meteorite iron, and the nail body is often engraved with the four characters "Heavenly Justice is Manifest" to deter bandits.

Its tail is hollow and filled with hundreds of small steel pieces. When it is released, its two fingers trigger a mechanism that causes an explosion upon impact, and hundreds of poisonous steel pieces burrow into the wound and scatter.

If such a hidden weapon strikes a person's limbs, the limbs will be shattered, with no possibility of healing. If it strikes the body, the internal organs will be torn apart, making it impossible for even a god to save the person.

Such hidden weapons would normally be difficult to hit a master like Liang Jin, so Zhen Lei had never used them.

But now that Liang Jin dares to use a martial art with obvious weaknesses like the "Overlord's Armor Removal Technique," then the Thunderstrike Nail can come in handy.

If even one of the hundreds of steel fragments that exploded hit Liang Jin, Liang Jin would be defeated!
Zhen Lei's eyes turned icy cold as he stood still, waiting for Liang Jin to make his move.

Only by striking back can the lightning bolt be used!
at this time.

Liang Jin's domineering attitude had been corrected; he seemed to have gained some understanding, and sighed:
Someone once said: 'I don't care whether I live or die, I just want you to die.'

"My passion for guns is so similar to these words."

"Therefore, the name of my gun is 'No Return'."

"And this move of mine is called 'No Turning Back'."

"No turning back" is a deadly stabbing move that Liang Jin created based on himself, a move that has no chance of return!

This move is like the "Overlord's Armor Removal Skill," with both its advantages and disadvantages being quite obvious.

Its advantage is its immense power.

The weakness is that if a move cannot kill the enemy, then all the flaws and weaknesses of that move will be exposed, giving the enemy an opportunity to turn the tide.

Since he was going to make a move, Liang Jin was prepared for the possibility that he might not return.

The next moment.

Liang Jin's expression hardened, and his eyes revealed a resolute, even ruthless, aura.

The spear in his hand thrust out!

This thrust looks quite ordinary, like a straight thrust used by a spear beginner.

But this shot was incredibly swift, carrying immense force as it thrust out, even engulfing the surrounding air and compressing it to an extreme degree, causing the air at the spearhead to momentarily ionize.

Even the spearhead, made from the incredibly precious steel known as Ximo Wuzhi Steel, turned a brilliant red-hot at this moment due to the high temperature.

The moment the gun was fired, Zhen Lei was instantly shaken to his core:

"What a fast gun!!!"

Liang Jin's shot was incredibly fast!

If it were within the range of the spear's attack, Zhen Lei wouldn't even know if anyone in the world could dodge such a fast and fierce spear!
Zhen Lei witnessed the shot calmly, and was so shocked that he felt his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Fortunately, the distance between Liang Jin and Zhen Lei was at least ten zhang.

Liang Jin's spear, though only thirteen feet long, couldn't even reach Zhen Lei.

at this time.

Liang Jin had already thrust the spear to its maximum, but he took another step forward, changing his grip from both hands to his back, and continued to thrust forward.

Holding the spear by the butt of the hand with one hand and thrusting it forward can extend the attack range of the spear by a considerable distance.

But such a stabbing technique would undoubtedly leave one's own defenses wide open!

Zhen Lei's eyes lit up with joy upon seeing this:

"The opportunity has come!"

He saw that Liang Jin was full of openings and was ready to strike with his Thunderstrike Nail.

If it were an ordinary expert, they would probably have already been greedy for that one strike.

But Zhen Lei, being the leader of the Four Great Constables, never coveted the sword.

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly realized that something was wrong:

"This……"

Liang Jin thrust forward with his spear in one hand, but such a thrust still couldn't penetrate more than ten zhang. The only thing that could exceed ten zhang was the spear aura formed by the release of internal force.

Zhen Leiyuan was already prepared to receive Liang Jin's spear energy, and even prepared to receive the spear energy enhanced by the "Overlord's Armor Removal Technique".

but……

He never expected that Liang Jin's shot would be so powerful!
As Liang Jin thrust his spear to its limit, the immense spear energy surged forth like a long dragon coiled on the spear, rushing straight towards Zhen Lei!
In an instant, the entire world seemed to darken.

The sunlight seemed to be swallowed up by the gunfire.

The focus of everything in the world, all eyes, were fixed on this one shot!
It seems like nothing has happened, yet it also seems like everything was destined all along!

The onlookers felt that the shot was both ordinary and extraordinary.

But they couldn't quite put their finger on what made it so special.

"not good!!!"

At this moment, Zhen Lei was almost terrified.

Outsiders might not realize how powerful this shot was.

But Zhen Lei, as the target of this shot, felt so... powerless!
Zhen Lei, the leader of the Four Great Constables and a renowned figure in the martial arts world, actually felt an extremely strong sense of powerlessness in the face of this spear!

He saw through Liang Jin's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

He also knew that if he could just withstand Liang Jin's shot, Liang Jin would be 100% defeated!
Provided that……

It can withstand this shot!
But this one shot was so terrifying that even Zhen Lei felt utterly powerless.

This is the most important thing!
Zhen Lei couldn't help but feel fortunate that he hadn't fired the lightning nail earlier, otherwise he would surely be dead by now!
It was precisely his extensive experience in the martial arts world that gave him a glimmer of hope.

Immediately, Zhen Lei no longer hesitated and suddenly pulled something out of his pocket.

Zhen Lei's eyesight was incredibly sharp; he had already realized that his martial arts skills were no match for such a terrifying spear.

Only by relying on what you have can you seize opportunities!

It turned out to be a piece of jade that was entirely purple and shaped like a triangular cloud pattern.

There aren't many people in this world who know about this thing.

However, Mr. Ding, Liu Yuan, and Mu Zheluo all recognized this item, and upon seeing it, they exclaimed in surprise:
"Purple Soul Jade!!!"
