When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 316 Kill the Wolf
"Guan Han".

Behind Tang Xinjie stood a tall, straight-backed man with a buzz cut and a resolute face.

He was wearing a well-fitting silver-white uniform and slowly lowered his hand.

Just now, he used his palm to press against Tang Xinjie's back, channeling his energy through Tang Xinjie's body to deflect the falling giant sword.

But Tang Xinjie was still injured, by Guan Han.

His true energy was so fierce and ruthless that it left internal injuries on Tang Xinjie's body when it passed through him.

"The disciple of the God of War?" Bai Ze asked.

"Just a student," Guan Han said calmly.

"it's the same."

Bai Ze smiled slightly and suddenly praised, "You're very good. A soldier's duty is to obey, so military warriors usually have a distinct political affiliation, but you haven't been overshadowed by it."

A prime example of this is former principal Lu Mingzhou.

The former principal, due to his experiences in his youth, was heavily influenced by the spirit of his era. This principle also applies to the military; generally speaking, military personnel will always exhibit unique abilities in some aspect.

This situation isn't necessarily bad. Take the old principal, for example; his martial arts spirit was incredibly powerful, as if it had condensed the light and shadow of an entire era.

However, those who can remain untainted by such influences must possess extraordinary qualities.

The person before me possessed a hidden, fierce aura, but it wasn't a violent temperament; rather, it was a purer, more natural killing intent.

Guan Han frowned slightly upon hearing this, because he sensed the judgment in Bai Ze's words.

This displeased him slightly, but he didn't say much, only telling Tang Xinjie to lead the rest of the group to retreat.

The "world loses its color" field is overflowing outwards due to the vacuum of primordial energy in the surrounding area. The entire field is already unstable. Although Tang Xinjie and the others have been defeated, they are not so badly turned into "stone statues" standing there.

However, Zhu Rui and Lei Zhen were both seriously injured, and Tang Xinjie himself also suffered internal injuries. It was hard to say whether it would be better to turn into a "stone statue" or to be in the current situation.

Anyway, he looked quite disheveled.

These five people arrived with great fanfare, but after only a few moves, they were already retreating like defeated dogs, making the students of Yanjing Martial Arts University unable to bear watching.

Fortunately, there are still experts who have emerged.

"Finally, a worthy opponent has emerged."

Bai Ze spoke slowly, his Dharma image becoming increasingly solid, "The disciple of the God of War? I hope he won't disappoint me."

Being called out by his identity made Guan Han feel a little uneasy.

He was a member of the military and rarely appeared in public. Although he had fought many battles, they were mostly fought in the Shan Hai Realm.

Bai Ze's ability to immediately identify him piqued Guan Han's curiosity about Bai Ze's intelligence capabilities, while his casual tone also made Guan Han's eyes flash with a sharp light.

At that moment, the baleful aura around Guan Han's body gradually appeared, and a vast and boundless force swept over, making the already unstable field even more restless.

The divine will has solidified and interfered with reality; this is a level that is approaching the peak of the sixth star.

At this stage, his divine will was able to interfere with matter, most typically manifested in amplifying power through momentum, greatly increasing the power of his moves.

It can only be said that he is indeed worthy of being a disciple of the God of War; he is truly strong in terms of divine will.

"good."

Bai Ze gave another soft praise, gently raised his hand, and raised his sword in Dharma form.

The unparalleled power transformed into a majestic sword aura; a simple downward slash indeed possessed the might of a collapsing mountain.

None of the previous six-star warriors were able to block this sword strike, but now, with the power of half of his solidified Dharma form, the power of this sword strike will only be stronger than before.

hum-

The vital energy resounded, and the invisible force field manifested and descended. Then the sword blade fell, reflected in Guan Han's eyes, as if it had cleaved his pupils in two.

But at this moment, Guan Han's body was filled with murderous aura, and the shadows of stars appeared in the blink of an eye. A fierce killing aura erupted, like thousands of troops galloping.

kill!

Under this fierce force, the invisible force field was instantly broken through, and the murderous aura, like mist, engulfed the sword. Then it sped along the ground, running at high speed.

The imagery of clashing swords and galloping horses, the wanton slaughter, seems to share a common origin with "Military Way Killing Fist," but expresses a different kind of military atmosphere.

Military Way Killing Fist is based on modern firearms, with a heart like a raging fire and energy like gunpowder, driving each move to be an explosive and domineering punch.

What Guan Han is showing now is the brutal warfare of ancient battlefields, lacking the ferocity that Bai Ze knew, but possessing a different kind of cruelty in war.

"boom!"

The malevolent energy crashed against the Dharma image, producing a deafening sound. The fierce aura spread in all directions, making it difficult to sense the location of Guan Han's true form.

However, Bai Ze's "Xuanji Observation" had already reached the level of observing spirits and qi, and his journey during this period was not in vain.

With feet like roots, connected to the earth, sensing changes in the surrounding gravity.

Immediately, Faxiang turned his left palm and, as if by magic, blocked in front of him, unleashing a powerful palm strike.

Ascending to a high place, one feels a sense of vastness in the Chu sky.

bang——

Like the waters of a river, flowing endlessly, a single palm strike swept away the murderous aura in front of him. The palm force continued unabated, colliding with a fist tightly gripping a deadly blade.

boom!
When the two sides clashed, it was like two mountains crashing together, displaying a domineering and fierce momentum.

Bai Ze used his Dharma form to unleash the "Ascending Intent," which, although not his full strength, was enough to severely injure a six-star opponent. However, he unexpectedly found himself in a brief stalemate with Guan Han's fist.

Guan Han's body was filled with murderous intent and killing intent, and three faint star shadows appeared on his head, shoulders, and behind him.

The divine will solidified and manifested its true form.

As for the three stars behind Guan Han, Bai Ze recognized their names at a glance, given his recent studies.

Seven Killings, Broken Army, Greedy Wolf.

With the three ominous stars appearing, Bai Ze could guess Guan Han's divine intention without even asking.

—Kill the Wolf!

Learn from the laws of heaven and earth, and take the meaning of the three ominous stars to make them your own.

"Not bad at all."

Bai Ze laughed out loud, and Fa Xiang, following his wishes, gradually became more and more excited.

Bang!
The force collapsed, and the Dharma Image Giant Palm channeled its energy again, the shockwave like a surging river, wave after wave, forcing Guan Han back.

The surging energy continued forward, rushing towards Guan Han with unstoppable force.

But Guan Han flew back several steps, stomped his foot on the ground, and charged forward again.

His entire body spun rapidly like a tornado, his energy bursting forth three times, merging into one, and piercing through Jiang Chao's palm strike.

Military Way Killing Fist - One-Character Long Snake Style.

Based on ancient military formations, he unleashed a killing punch, shattering the long river with a single point, followed by a series of footwork steps, leaping over plum blossoms, his figure shifting and moving to the side of the Dharma image.

"Crane Wing Style".

With arms like knives, killing is as easy as cutting grass.

Although Bai Ze's Dharma form is powerful, it is also somewhat cumbersome because of this power.

The fully solidified muscle fibers and meridians made the Dharma form resemble a real human body, but this also made it difficult for it to gather and disperse as it had in the past, causing a slight delay in its transformation. Guan Han saw this and used skill to strike at the solid, attempting to break the Dharma form.

The Crane Wing Blade's aura slashed before the Dharma Image, its ferocious killing intent amplifying the power of the killing fist, breaking through the Dharma Image's outer skin, and then pressing forward.

But at this moment, Bai Ze had already transformed his Dharma form into a phantom, and his true body, standing within the Dharma form, made its first move.

"Five-colored divine light".

Divine light burst forth from within, and the changing Five Elements instantly transformed into a life force that countered the killing aura. The momentary attack caused the light and shadow to flash.

"drink!"

Guan Han shouted, facing the five-colored divine light without retreating an inch, only changing his moves, his arms opening and closing wide, yet concealing danger.

Military Way Killing Fist - Eight Gates Golden Lock Style.

This is a defensive move, modeled after the ancient military formation of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, yet it is also an offensive move, combining offense with defense. The eight gates cycle, fraught with danger.

Guan Han's hands moved like spears and clubs, with wide, sweeping movements, yet hidden within their strength lay subtle changes. The external aura of killing intent catalyzed the formation of eight gates, evolving into numerous transformations, colliding with the five-colored divine light.

This treats the Five-Colored Divine Light as a formation, using formations to counter formations, and employing the variations of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation to deal with the variations of the Five Elements Formation.

The eight gates spun rapidly, their formation like chains, crisscrossing and directly colliding with the five-colored divine light at close range.

Boom boom boom boom——

The eight phases alternate, the five colors flow, and in an instant, hundreds of patterns emerge, vying for supremacy.

Bai Ze could manipulate the five-colored divine light with his words, causing the five elements to flow and change endlessly. However, Bai Ze had not yet gained a deep understanding of the changes in the five elements, and he had little knowledge of formations.

For a time, the invincible Five-Colored Divine Light found itself unable to achieve its goal.

Even if I use words to manipulate the Five Elements, I still have to follow the principles of mutual generation and restraint among the Five Elements. That's why the opponent can use one formation to counter another. So—

With a thought flashing through his mind, Bai Ze suddenly changed his aura, "Gold and Fire merged."

Metal generates water, and fire overcomes metal. For metal to transform into fire, it needs to first generate water, then water generates wood, and finally wood generates fire. Only after these three transformations can it be transformed into the energy of fire.

However, Bai Ze used the power of words to directly transform the metal element into the fire element, at the cost of increased energy consumption.

In an instant, the dazzling divine light became even more magnificent, and the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint was reversed at this moment.

The original strategy was to use formations to counter formations, but now that one side has lost its formation, the countermeasures are naturally ineffective.

boom--

With a burst of divine light, the multicolored light rapidly expanded, and three of the eight gates that had evolved layer by layer were instantly shattered.

"The Gate of Life is below."

Bai Ze's external form became ethereal, and he took a step forward, directly facing the Gate of Life among the Eight Gates. His body's energy underwent a transformation, "Returning to Nothingness".

The unbreakable move reappeared, billowing mist instantly formed, and the layers of formations vanished one by one.

"Return to Nothingness" doesn't have the convenience of the Five-Colored Divine Light, which can be used remotely, but it also has its advantages.

This move involves using one's own body to contact the opponent's attack, instantly transforming one's true energy to respond. At that moment, it's as if the opponent's energy has entered one's own body, allowing one to counter it with the full power of their body.

Conversely, if one releases true qi from the body, due to the limited output, it is difficult to use all the strength of the body in an instant.

Just like water draining from a pond through a channel, the output of true qi is also limited by the channel; it's impossible to simply pour out all the water from the pond.

At this moment, "Return to Nothingness" appears, and the Eight Gates Golden Lock technique is immediately broken.

however--

In the instant the thick mist surged forth, a burst of energy, like a shadow, swept through the mist and struck Bai Ze.

Bang!
Like a venomous snake finally baring its fangs, a burst of malevolent energy erupted, striking Bai Ze and causing him to stumble backward.

At the same time, Guan Han also flashed back, taking the opportunity to regulate his true energy, while keeping a close eye on the figure in the mist.

"interesting."

Bai Ze let out a soft laugh.

As the billowing mist dissipated, his still upright figure was revealed.

This hidden force attack failed to injure Bai Ze, but he was ultimately struck.

This was the first time he had been hit since Bai Ze appeared.

Even Yan Wenjun, who had previously broken through the Qi armor, was unable to truly harm Bai Ze.

"Hidden within the center, is this the counter-strategy you came up with?" Bai Ze looked at his clothes with great interest.

There was a small, faint black spot on his chest and abdomen, which was the place where he had been struck by the evil energy.

"Return to Nothingness" is an unbreakable move, especially for Bai Ze.

Even with moves that combine yin and yang, Bai Ze can perfectly evolve counteracting true qi to counter them.

Unless the other party can form a perfect Tai Chi with Yin and Yang, that state is like a perfect circle, which is beyond human reach.

In addition, within the same realm, Bai Ze can neutralize any move that uses true qi.

Bai Ze could actually neutralize the moves Guan Han used.

The exercise combines forward and reverse movements, starting with the forward movement and then moving backward, with the reverse movement hidden within the forward movement, in order to cope with "returning to nothingness". This worked the first time it was used.

At the crucial moment, Bai Ze stopped transforming his energy, because continuing would have injured himself first.

This is not about changing the nature of the true qi, but rather reversing the normal operation of the technique, so that the moves are both the opposite of the original and different from the true qi that counteracts it, thus achieving their intended effect.

However, this is not insurmountable.

As long as Bai Ze also maintains both positive and negative aspects, he can continue to neutralize Guan Han's moves.

But there is a price to pay for doing so.

Even with strong self-control, reversing the original normal cultivation method will still harm oneself if one does not go astray.

This is not like the two energies of Yin and Yang, which generate and restrain each other, but rather like suddenly reversing the rotation of a millstone that was originally rotating in the forward direction, thus reversing the mental cultivation method.

No matter what, you'll hurt yourself first.

Similarly, Bai Ze needs to neutralize the opponent's energy by using both positive and negative methods, knowing that harming others will first harm oneself.

"Return to Nothingness" remains unbreakable, but a corresponding price must be paid when neutralizing this move.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Inside a spacious office at Peking University, a handsome and refined young man looked at the light screen and spoke leisurely.

The scene displayed in that light screen was Bai Ze and Guan Han fighting.

"Is it a matter of self-harm to continue using this unreasonable move, or to give up using it altogether?"

The young man spoke with a burning gaze, “Junior Brother Guan Han’s strength is extraordinary. He is the only one who has completely inherited the Way of the Army. Although he has not been able to condense the divine will of his teacher, his divine will is still unmatched by many.”

Giving up the use of "Return to Nothingness" means facing the killing power of "Kill, Break, Wolf".

If you continue to use "Return to Nothingness", it means that while you are engaged in fierce battle, you are also competing with your opponent to see who has more health.

"The report says that your innate Dao embryo does not have the ability to recover quickly. If you did... then the story of Yun Shu's attack would be a little different."
