Now, both parties had mobilized their Spiritual Power, and a great battle was about to erupt. Both individuals possessed the strength of the Zhiyi Boundary, and even the Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman was at Level Five of Zhiyi, a realm higher than Ling Zhenfei.
As for who would win and who would lose in this great battle, it was really hard to say.
The bamboo leaves in the sky were blocking out the sun, resembling a dark cloud looming overhead, and the momentum was incredibly terrifying.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked in his heart, not knowing how much Spiritual Power this great momentum would require. It was very uncertain how long the Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman, with her cultivation, could last.
"Boy, I'm giving you one last chance. Either hand over the item or be killed by me. The choice is yours!"
The Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman looked at Ling Zhenfei as though she was staring at a dead man. Under her Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers, no one had survived, so she was exceedingly confident.
Ling Zhenfei scoffed coldly, "You want me to hand over the items? I think you shouldn't even dream about it. Although your Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers technique is formidable, I, Ling Zhenfei, am not afraid."
"Still stubborn at the point of death. Then go and die!" The Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman waved her hand, and the bamboo leaves in the sky, like featherless arrows, suddenly rushed towards Ling Zhenfei.
Blocked by bamboo leaves that filled the sky and moved swiftly, Ling Zhenfei was unable to evade the all-encompassing attack.
Ling Zhenfei knew that he had no way to dodge such a large-scale attack, so he didn't try to dodge but instead chose to counterattack directly with his own Spiritual Power.
Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, as the name indicates, consisted of ten punches, each infinitely powerful. However, the second punch was twice as powerful as the first, and the third punch doubled the power of the second, and so on, with each subsequent punch doubling the power of the previous one.
This was why Ling Zhenfei's consumption of Spiritual Power was enormous; every punch increased exponentially. By the tenth punch, the force truly had the power to destroy heaven and earth.
This was the first time Ling Zhenfei used Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists in real combat after mastering it. He was keen to find out the true strength of this technique and whether it could match the Divine Skill of Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers.
Ling Zhenfei rooted himself to the spot, and with both fists thrust forward, he punched directly at the bamboo leaves rushing down from the sky.
Bang!
As his fist moved forward, the punch felt as though it had hit air, creating a ripple in the atmosphere and instantly sending the approaching bamboo leaves flying away. However, the leaves in the sky seemed inexhaustible and rushed towards Ling Zhenfei once again.
Ling Zhenfei didn't hesitate and threw the second punch of his Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists into the sky.
Bang!
This time, the power of the punch was twice that of the previous one, directly scattering the bamboo leaves in the sky outward.
This punch truly shocked the Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman. She had not expected Ling Zhenfei's fists to possess such tremendous force. The bamboo leaves in the sky were dispersed, and the Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman immediately began to condense spiritual energy again, causing the fallen leaves to rise and swirl once more. This time, she clearly used her real skills.
The bamboo leaves in the air started spinning and gradually formed a sphere. This sphere rotated in the air, continuously absorbing the surrounding bamboo leaves into it, growing larger as more leaves were added, eventually reaching over half a meter in height.
Ling Zhenfei could distinctly feel the momentum of this sphere, its power was astonishing, far stronger than the previous attack from the flying leaves, simply incomparable to his first two punches.
"Go!" Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman shouted and pushed her palms toward Ling Zhenfei's direction, hurling the sphere his way.
Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped a beat, unsure if his third fist of Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists could withstand the sphere, but he had no choice but to try.
Ling Zhenfei condensed spiritual energy on his right arm and unleashed the third fist of Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists.
Thud!
The punch was powerful, but when it struck the sphere, it made a very dull sound. The sphere merely stopped for two seconds before rushing at Ling Zhenfei again.
Ling Zhenfei knew the power of his third fist was still too weak. Without hesitating, he immediately gathered Spiritual Power, roamed the Twelve Meridian Circles, and threw a punch.
Boom!
Spiritual Power radiated in all directions. This punch directly shattered the sphere, which was condensed from bamboo leaves. The leaves, like sharp swords, shot towards the adjacent woods.
With the burst of the sphere, Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back several steps. The sphere was linked to her spiritual energy; it was driven by her own Spiritual Power. Striking the sphere was effectively like striking Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman herself.
Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman was injured, presenting a perfect opportunity to attack. Ling Zhenfei's figure flickered and he rapidly moved towards Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman, circling behind her, his Spiritual Power already condensed, ready to strike her with a fist.
This was the fifth strike of Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists named Earth-Splitting Fist. This punch, several times more powerful than the first fist of the sequence, confirmed to Ling Zhenfei that even if Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman was a master of Zhiyi Boundary, this strike could either kill her or severely injure her.
As Ling Zhenfei attacked the spot, Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman's back, just as he threw the punch, he suddenly saw Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman turn around, making the punch aim right at her chest.
Every punch of Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists involved an attack of Spiritual Power and didn't physically contact the opponent's body. Yet although they were far apart, Ling Zhenfei could still see a cold smile appear on Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman's face.
Ling Zhenfei was startled, not understanding what Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman meant by this. She should be feeling scared at this moment, yet she was smiling. The only explanation was that Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman was a fool, but she was far from foolish—in fact, she was extremely shrewd.
Although it was strange, Ling Zhenfei still threw the punch. Although their fists didn't touch, the distance between the two was now less than a meter—a very close distance.
Bang!
A punch landed on Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman, directly sending her flying. But right at the spot where Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman had just been hit, a red Blood Mist appeared, instantly enveloping Ling Zhenfei completely.
Due to the rapid movements, others couldn't clearly see what had occurred, but as the person involved, Ling Zhenfei could see clearly. As he landed the punch on Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman, he suddenly saw her open her mouth.
Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman might have been older, but her teeth were in excellent condition. When she opened her mouth, her full set of healthy teeth were visible, and in that moment, Ling Zhenfei's punch landed on her.
This punch definitely injured Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman, but as the strike connected, she suddenly expelled a Blood Mist from her mouth, instantly engulfing Ling Zhenfei.
Many might think that this was blood spewed because Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman was hit, but only Ling Zhenfei knew the truth wasn't so simple; it was merely Heavenly Net Poisonous Woman using the force of the punch to expel a toxic mist.
