Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 303 Seeing the Law
The long-handled giant axe is so long that, in theory, there should be a huge gap in its length with each swing.

But the giant axe was missing.

No matter how far the Starbreaker Axe is swung, if it misses, it will swing a second time at an unimaginable speed.

The long axe is like a sword.

The blood moons unleashed by the giant axe were dense and numerous, like a horde of beasts, rushing towards Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng had never encountered such a strange attack method before; he had only seen it in videos. It was a unique power belonging to the orcs.

Slowly, Zhou Leng's skin began to be covered in a dense layer of sweat.

On the skin of the Starbound Axe, faint traces of blood and sweat also appeared. The sweat evaporated, turning into blood-red skin that covered the green hide.

The mentality of both sides watching from a distance underwent subtle changes.

The orcs hadn't expected Zhou Leng to be so strong. Any other orc here would have been chopped into mincemeat by the Savage Star Axe long ago.

The humanoid alliance team had not expected the Star Axe to be so powerful; their only hope was shattered by the blood moon's light.

They realized that if the entire team faced the Starbound Axe, none of them would survive a minute.

With the whooshing sound of the giant axe, Zhou Leng's footwork reached its peak, and his movements constantly changed.

The clothes kept tearing apart.

The skin frequently showed light red wounds, which were quickly stitched up by blood and qi.

At this moment, Zhou Leng's skin was already impervious to blades and spears, but if the giant axe's blood-red crescent blade grazed him, he would inevitably be injured.

Zhou Leng remained calm and composed, showing no sign of impatience.

Countless martial arts techniques flashed through his mind.

In his eyes, the blood moon formed by the long-handled giant axe was reflected in the sky.

At this moment, Zhou Leng felt as if he had returned to the Heavenly Rank Battlefield to comprehend martial arts.

However, what was before them were the mysteries of the ocean and the moves of the black and white people; now, it is the blood moon of the Barbarian Star Axe.

The Mind-Shadow Splitting Technique is indeed not as brave as the No-Return Battle Technique, nor as resolute as the Mountain-Suppressing River Technique.

However, each has its own methods and its own way, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

After hundreds of moves, Zhou Leng's mind was gently stirred.

A familiar character "一" (one) sits high in my mind, overlooking all divine texts and martial arts.

This "one" is exactly the same as the one seen in the meditation room of Koga-sō.

It is very similar to the wave pattern carved by the mysterious black figure with his finger on the ancient jade tablet.

At this moment, Zhou Leng felt as if he were bathed in sweet rain and cleansed by the heavenly light.

The essence of mental image splitting is to see its technique, glimpse its method, and observe its principle.

What you see is what you know; what you know is what you gain; and what you gain can be broken.

In his mind, the “Myriad Laws” from the four paths of the Three Sons of the Ancient River formed a divine script, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.

A moment later, the world before my eyes underwent a subtle change.

The giant axe had been transformed into countless blood moon afterimages, and the axe body was no longer visible.

The moves and the axe itself were distorted and altered by the strange power of the Savage Star Axe, leaving Zhou Leng helpless.

Now, having glimpsed all the changes in the moves, the axe itself appears.

The trail of the giant axe was as clear as the moonlight.

At this point, the attacks of the Barbarian Star Axe were simply more powerful and faster; there were no more secrets to them.

Zhou Leng understood immediately.

Having cultivated for so many years and learned and seen so many moves, the attack method of the Savage Star Axe is nothing new.

However, he had not mastered the basics of the techniques to the fullest extent, and when the enemy changed their moves or became stronger, he was at a loss.

Everything that just happened in my mind wasn't about discovering the Starbreaker Axe at all.

Instead, it allows us to rediscover what we have learned.

"I will use my own body to slay all the demons."

With a clear understanding in his mind, Zhou Leng stepped forward.

shuh...

As the axe blade swept across, a strand of hair broke off and flew away.

Zhou Leng took another step forward. Looking into Zhou Leng's bright, star-like eyes, Barbarian Star Axe instinctively took a step back, continuing to swing its giant axe to maintain its distance.

Zhou Leng lightly tapped his right hand, and with a crisp clang, changed the direction of the giant axe's movement, his body moving like a willow branch to dodge.

Take another step forward.

The two sides that were fighting behind them slowly stopped and separated, all looking at Barbarian Star Axe and Zhou Leng.

Neither side knew what had happened.

At first, it was clearly Barbarian Star Axe who was pressing forward relentlessly, with the intention of annihilating them all.

But now, Zhou Leng inexplicably stepped forward, treating the giant axe as if it were nothing.

The giant axe of the Savage Star Axe did not weaken; the wind howled and the blood moon filled the air.

But Zhou Leng was able to hit the giant axe from all sorts of strange angles, either blocking or dodging, and keep moving forward.

The Star Axe retreated continuously.

He couldn't understand it at all. Zhou Leng's moves were now like magic, always able to strike the weak points of the giant axe, neutralize its power, affect his next move, and cause his moves to have flaws.

Long-handled weapons are stronger because of their length, but once a weakness is exposed, it is much harder to repair than with ordinary weapons.

He could only retreat.

Everything seemed to be playing in reverse, with Zhou Leng moving forward and the Barbarian Star Axe moving backward.

Zhou Leng's pace was faster than that of the Barbarian Star Axe.

The two sides are getting closer and closer.

The Star Axe had to retract its giant axe, shrinking it back to two meters in length.

The axe shrank, its speed suddenly increased, and the gaps between its parts decreased.

Zhou Leng continued to step forward, while the Barbarian Star Axe continued to retreat.

Barbarian Star Axe retreated to the position before the two sides clashed, retreated to the location of the two teams, and continued to retreat.

The two teams spread out to the sides.

"You are very strong."

Barbarian Axe finally realized that he needed to change.

He released the axe handle with his left hand, held the axe in one hand, used it as a sword, and lunged forward to slash at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng leaned back to dodge and kicked the left leg of the Barbarian Star Axe.

With the power of the Star Axe, he channeled the force into his left leg, taking the kick head-on. Then, relying on his tall stature and long arms, he punched Zhou Leng in the side.

The Star Axe was kicked in the shin, and Zhou Leng staggered. He used his right hand to throw a punch at the Star Axe, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

As the Star Axe kicked out, Zhou Leng pushed off with his feet and braced himself with his hands on the ground, his body tracing an incredible arc as he circled around to the side of the Star Axe, dodging the kick and striking the Star Axe again.

Enraged, the Star Axe unleashed a series of attacks.

Zhou Leng's martial arts are too strong, and his application of them is so exquisite that they far surpass the Barbarian Star Axe.

The two exchanged more than thirty blows. Zhou Leng was only hit three times, but he was hit by the Barbarian Star Axe a total of fourteen times.

The Axe of the Savage Star is the grandson of a demigod, and his body is undeniably strong.

However, Zhou Leng possesses a giant's physique, which is not typical for someone in their prime.

"I underestimated you."

The Star Axe finally realized that his life-risking fighting style was completely countered by human martial arts masters.

He suddenly let out a low growl, his heart pounding like a drum, three loud thuds.

Suddenly, tendons sprouted from within the skin, intertwining and weaving to form a fleshy armor that protected the entire body.

This power was originally possessed by innate beastmen.

"You must die."

After saying this, Barbarian Star Axe charged straight at Zhou Leng, swinging the axe in his right hand while waiting for an opportunity to strike with his left.

Zhou Lengjian saw that Manxingzhi had changed tactics, intending to trade blows, and was not afraid at all.

Instead of retreating, they proactively met the challenge.

His left hand silently gripped the axe handle, while his right hand attacked the Barbarian Star Axe.

The two men each gripped the axe handle with one hand, struggling back and forth for the axe.

Their strengths were similar, and it was difficult to determine who was superior for the time being.

With the other hand, it transformed into afterimages, attacking and colliding head-on.

The left fist of the Barbarian Star Axe was encased in flesh and blood armor, making every move ferocious.

Zhou Leng's right palm strikes are deadly, each move a thousand waves.

The internal energy surged and increased, and with each palm strike, its momentum grew even stronger.

bang... bang...

The flesh and blood armor of the left fist of the Barbarian Star Axe exploded, the fist was a bloody mess, the skin, flesh and bone were blasted into a ball by the powerful Zhenhai True Qi, and slightly sunken into the wrist.

Zhou Leng's right palm was a bloody mess, with cracked bones. With each strike, blood splattered from the pores of his right arm.

The Zhenhai True Qi was too strong, and too many killing moves were used, which began to damage the flesh and blood.

However, the two of them were like wild beasts, showing no sign of backing down.

Zhou Leng stepped forward, while the Barbarian Star Axe retreated, their fists and palms clashing.

bang... bang...

The two rushed into the forest, and the back of the Wild Star Axe smashed through a large tree.

Zhou Leng's eyes lit up.

Pushing the axe outward with the left hand, both arms forward, palms thrusting out simultaneously.

It's still the same killer move, Thousand Tides, but the difference is that it's changed from five killer moves to six.

A thousand tides, but the version with two dragons emerging from the water.

Two palms, like a thousand tides crashing against the shore, slammed into the left fist of the Barbarian Star Axe.
Click...

Barbarian Star Axe's left fist was ripped apart, and the bone in his hand, smashed into a ball, was deeply embedded in his wrist.

The wrist was broken, and the flesh on the arm bulged out.

His left forearm bulged into a large fleshy lump where flesh and bone converged.

"Ah..." Barbarian Star Axe finally let out a miserable cry and swung the axe out with his right hand.

Zhou Leng ducked to dodge, retracted his injured right arm, and unleashed a powerful blast with his left arm, Qianchao.

Barbarian Star Axe dodged awkwardly to the side, and Zhou Leng landed a palm strike on the tree.

A tree so large that it would take one person to encircle it snapped in half and flew backward, sending splinters flying everywhere.

Startled, Barbarian Star Axe turned and fled.

Zhou Leng strode forward, chasing after the Barbarian Star Axe amidst the flying dust and bits of grass.

One side chased, the other fled.

Wherever it passed, trees fell, leaves flew everywhere, the earth collapsed, and there were constant rumbling sounds.

The two chased and fought each other, carving a path through the forest.

The road winds through the forest, where thousands of trees lie prostrate on the ground.

The two teams, the orcs and the humanoids, followed at a distance, trembling with fear, and dared not approach.

A dozen minutes later, the two fought their way through the woods and onto the grassland.

Zhou Leng's right arm hung limply, and his body bore several large wounds from the axe blade.

Barbarian Star Axe's entire flesh armor was riddled with holes, riddled with gaping wounds from Zhou Leng's blows.

Most of the flesh armor crumbled, revealing green skin.

Clear palm prints, fist prints, or finger holes appear on the skin.

The two rushed up a hillside and then ran down the hillside.

A squad of monsters approached from the bottom of the hillside; the squad consisted mostly of demonized warriors and sirens.

Shen Jun and his team, including Azure Scale.

Everyone stopped and looked at the two people rushing towards them.

They both recognized the two men who were pursuing them.

One is Barbarian Star Axe, ranked fourth on the youth list. He carries his signature blood axe in his right hand. Even with wounds all over his body and bruises all over his face, he cannot hide the domineering aura of his demigod bloodline.

The other one was Zhou Leng, whom the two of them kept mentioning.

Shen Jun was terrified when he saw this scene. How dare Zhou Leng chase after the Barbarian Star Axe?

On the other hand, Azure Scale was also frightened at first sight, but then discovered that both of them were seriously injured, and Zhou Leng was seriously injured.

He immediately deduced that Zhou Leng had led a group to besiege and severely injure Barbarian Star Axe, and then pursued him alone.

He had fought Zhou Leng just a few months ago and knew Zhou Leng's strength all too well.

"Starbreaker Axe, I'm here to help you!"

"roll!"

"Hmph!" Azure Scale sneered inwardly when she saw how domineering the Star Axe was. She knew Zhou Leng's strength all too well. How strong could he be after being beaten like this by Zhou Leng?

Azure Scales stomped on the ground and charged toward Zhou Leng, while keeping an eye on Savage Star Axe. He knew all too well what these orc demons were; they would kill their own teammates at the drop of a hat.
