Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 130 Rippling Palm! Shattering Black Mountain with a Palm! (1st update! 5000 words, please subscribe!)

The Duke of Montenegro certainly remembered Livy.

"Little Li Wei, you really are still alive. I never imagined you were from one of the four great families."

The Duke of Black Mountain spoke in a low voice as he attacked.

"I've searched for the four great families for so long, hoping to obtain their extraordinary power, but I never imagined that your Black Serpent family is one of them! Snake is a false surname, isn't it? Your real surname should be one of Constantine, Winchester, Duncan, or Van Helsing, right?"

"Only those of the bloodlines of the four great families can master witchcraft! To wield true extraordinary power!"

It's clear that the Duke of Montenegro has some knowledge of the four major families.

Li Wei neither denied nor admitted it.

He obtained his exorcism manual from the Duke of Black Mountain's subordinates, so it's normal that the Duke of Black Mountain knew some of the secrets of the four major families.

After Livy destroyed the evil spirit, he took advantage of the Duke of Black Mountain's unpreparedness.

Attack the Black Mountain Duke with the Flame Stream Seal.

A four-meter-long blue flame erupted and engulfed the Duke of Black Mountain.

The Duke of Montenegro had run out of cards to play at this point.

He could only rely on his own dark energy to withstand it.

sizzle.

The blue-green flames scorched the Duke of Black Mountain.

This was also interspersed with hidden weapon attacks formed from Li Wei's black energy.

One by one, the black energy cones were blocked by the Black Mountain Duke's protective black energy.

He bathed in flames and laughed wildly.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Breathing fire out of thin air? That's witchcraft! Hahaha, you really are one of the four great families!"

"You search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

"Your father was defeated by me, and you are no match for me either!"

"I will kill you, and your bloodline will become mine!"

The Duke of Black Mountain seems to have been searching for members of the four great families all along.

He may have mastered some kind of blood transfusion technique, which would allow him to possess the extraordinary bloodline of the four great families, thus enabling him to cultivate the "witchcraft" he desires.

He now mistakenly believes that Li Wei, who has mastered "witchcraft," is a member of the four great families.

It was as if we had grasped the last hope.

The Duke of Black Mountain, driven to the brink of despair by the flames, was not afraid; instead, he laughed happily. He craved power and strength!

True superhuman power!

In his view, even if he had cultivated the ancestral breathing technique to its current limit, he still could not be called extraordinary.

Only by possessing supernatural powers such as summoning wind and rain and controlling thunder and fire can one be considered extraordinary!

Clearly, Li Wei possessed such power!

This is exactly what the Duke of Montenegro has been longing for!

The Duke of Montenegro laughed maniacally.

Boom! The black aura surrounding him exploded.

It was like a small black mushroom cloud exploding.

The black mountain roared, its dark energy surging.

"Black Whale Roar!"

He roared, and a terrifying sound wave swept over them.

This attack, similar to sonic attacks, swept across the entire area; it wasn't a mental attack, but it was even more powerful.

Li Wei had a splitting headache, so he used black energy to plug his ears.

The Duke of Black Mountain attacked, but Li Wei used his advanced vibrational perception to dodge the Duke's deadly attacks. He then continued to attack the Duke with Frostmourne.

The Duke of Black Mountain seemed to know that Li Wei's witchcraft was powerful, so he was now attacking Li Wei at point-blank range, not giving Li Wei any chance to cast spells.

Two burly men were fighting each other in the wilderness.

The Duke of Black Mountain seemed to have been corrupted by the dark energy, and he no longer cared about the main battlefield, but instead attacked Li Wei frantically.

He was too powerful; just by relying on his peak Black Whale aura, he made Li Wei feel extremely troubled.

Fortunately, Li Wei's attributes were more comprehensive, which prevented him from being suppressed by the Duke of Black Mountain.

"Black Whale Strikes the Mountain!" Duke Black Mountain unleashed a series of sweeping sword strikes.

Li Wei kept dodging, and even though he was wearing the Frost Giant Armor and the Black Scale Defense, he didn't dare to take the Black Mountain Duke's attacks head-on.

Boom! Li Wei, who failed to dodge in time, was blasted away by the Duke of Black Mountain and crashed into a large tree. The tree collapsed, dust flew everywhere, and Li Wei coughed.

The Duke of Black Mountain leaped forward, his greatsword charging towards him.

But what awaited him was no longer Livy's Frostmourne.

Instead, it was a giant hammer that suddenly appeared!

Legendary weapon, the pride of the Lion King!

boom!

Lion King's Pride combined with Golden Cross Slash!

The terrifying force shattered the Black Mountain Duke's mithril greatsword!

Crack! The greatsword shattered and flew out in fragments.

The Duke of Black Mountain stared at his empty palm.

And Li Wei, wielding a heavy hammer, charged in.

"This is... Lionheart Knight's hammer!"

"Such a good weapon is a waste to give to you."

"No wonder you're so strong, you must have inherited the Lionheart Knight's legacy. Haha, it's all mine now! The legacy of the legendary knight is mine too!"

"Little Li Wei, you've given me so many surprises!"

The Duke of Montenegro simply stopped using weapons.

Relying on his advantage of dark energy, he used his fists, which were as big as sandbags, his elbows, his legs, his feet, and even his head.

Any part of the body can be the Duke of Black Mountain's weapon.

He was clearly skilled in powerful physical combat, unlike ordinary knights. He remained calm in the face of danger and attacked again.

The attack was still incredibly swift, splitting mountains and shattering rocks!

"Black Whale Tail Swing!"

He unleashed a sweeping kick, aiming straight at Li Wei.

Li Wei's heavy hammer crashed down!

boom!

The Duke of Montenegro dodged the fatal blow.

Bang, bang, bang!

"It's too bulky."

Li Wei also cast aside his pride as the Lion King.

The hammer is good, but it can't hit anyone without a sneak attack. That tactic can only be used once.

I don't know how the Lionheart Knight uses it; there must be a specific hammer technique involved...

At the same time, Li Wei noticed that the Duke of Montenegro was beginning to show signs of fatigue.

This is the price of not having extraordinary stamina; he had just exhausted too much of his energy.

As for Li Wei, he could fight another hundred rounds without any problem.

He wrapped his hands in black energy, which transformed into sharp blades, and used his speed advantage to continuously slash the Duke of Black Mountain with insignificant wounds.

At the same time, Li Wei also used the advanced Ripple power of the Golden Cross Slash for the first time without a weapon!

The most powerful ripple energy surged into Li Wei's arm and then appeared in Li Wei's palms!

The black energy in his hands trembled and shook, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

"break!"

Li Wei struck out with his palm, exchanging blows with the Duke of Black Mountain!

Click.

Li Wei then heard what sounded like a slight cracking sound coming from the Duke of Black Mountain's body.

The Duke of Black Mountain cried out in pain and quickly moved away from Li Wei.

"What domineering power!" said the Duke of Black Mountain.

Li Wei persisted relentlessly, continuing his attack.

As expected, it is entirely feasible to release the Golden Cross Slash directly with bare hands.

Moreover, the power released in this way is even greater.

"From now on, the Golden Cross Slash can be renamed the Golden Ripple Palm."

Li Wei continued to fight the Duke of Black Mountain using his newly created Ripple Palm technique, and gradually, the Duke of Black Mountain's decline became more and more obvious.

In contrast, Li Wei is becoming more and more energetic.

The Duke of Black Mountain was shocked. He couldn't believe that he, who was invincible, was no match for the little Li Wei!

"This is the power of extraordinary bloodlines! I want you! To achieve transcendence, as long as I can truly transcend and master witchcraft! What are royal ambitions and hegemony? They are nothing but a matter of a single hand. Even the Church is not something I fear!" The Duke of Black Mountain seemed to have gone mad.

He grew increasingly eager to uncover the secrets of Li Wei.

He firmly believed that it was the extraordinary bloodline of the four great families that gave Li Wei such great strength.

Li Wei gazed at the Duke of Black Mountain, who had gone mad, and silently mourned.

Still want to fight the church?

Dream it.

None of the four major families dared to fight against the church.

The Duke of Montenegro was still too arrogant.

These mundane things are merely manifestations of the church's power.

What is truly terrifying about the church is that they are the agents of the gods.

They must possess some trump card that might involve "divine power," otherwise why would those legendary knights or legendary families fear the church and be destroyed?

Therefore, Li Wei was always very careful whenever he used wizarding powers, and he always chose to do so in secluded places, for fear that the church would find out and use him as a threat to get rid of him.

The Duke of Black Mountain disregarded everything else; he had only recently mastered the Black Mountain Breathing Technique to its limit and could not yet fully control its power.

Each time he transforms into a 2.8-meter-tall demon form, he loses some of his sanity, and the longer this continues, the harder it is for him to return to his original state.

This battle with Li Wei has already lasted long enough.

In the end, the Duke of Montenegro was covered in wounds, as was Livy.

However, unlike Livi, who possessed the Frost Giant Armor and Black Scale Defense, he only suffered minor injuries.

In contrast, the Duke of Black Mountain was shattered and his bones broken by Li Wei's Golden Ripple Palm.

If it weren't for his high cultivation level, the black aura protecting his body, and his powerful physique...

Under Li Wei's numerous Golden Ripple Palm strikes, he was pulverized and scattered into countless fragments of flesh and blood.

Li Wei was panting. Even with his extraordinary stamina, he was starting to feel out of breath after such a long battle.

The Duke of Black Mountain, though completely exhausted, still managed to muster his last bit of strength to attack Li Wei.

Li Wei finally struck the Duke of Black Mountain in the chest with his palm.

It shattered his heart, and the black whale that lurked within it.

"Phew, finally dead. That was a real struggle."

Only after confirming that the Duke of Montenegro had completely passed away did Li Wei begin to breathe heavily and rest.

At the same time, he sent Tuta out to collect the soul of the Duke of Montenegro.

Tuta was numb; he'd been eating the Great Knight's soul so much these past few days that he'd vomited and was stuffed.

The Duke of Black Mountain is too strong. As a top-tier Grand Knight, the Duke of Black Mountain is almost on par with the Fist of the Empire.

For so many years, he has kept his strength hidden.

This led everyone to believe that he was just an ordinary top-tier knight.

After resting, Li Wei summoned the Demon Shark, Demon Mountain, and Demon Sea, which were still barely usable. The Demon Shadow, however, was cut in half by the Black Mountain and was no longer usable.

Although Mosha and his gang were missing limbs, they could still manage to do manual labor.

He ordered the three Demon Brothers to retrieve the Shadow Demon's corpse, which he then destroyed using the Flame Stream Seal.

After cleaning up the battlefield, they fled the area with the body of the Duke of Black Mountain.

Next, I need to find a safe place to learn meditation techniques.

……

On the main battlefield, the soldiers waited in vain for the Duke of Black Mountain, who had gone to pursue the enemy, and began to panic.

Li Wei and his companions ran too fast; these mortals simply couldn't catch up.

The two great knights were also tied down by the Bloodthirsty Earl and were unable to come to their rescue.

Coupled with the royal and noble coalition forces that seized the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, the Montenegrin army was immediately put on the defensive.

Because their commander-in-chief, at a crucial moment, went to hunt down an enemy who had suddenly barged into the battlefield.

The scariest thing is that they still haven't come back.

With the Bloody Earl turning against them, the second-in-command of the Black Mountain army, Earl Morton, the eldest son of the Duke of Black Mountain, had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his troops. The Northern Allied Army was chased far away by the royal family and the Southern Allied Army.

Inside the tent, a young nobleman who looked similar to the Duke of Black Mountain and whose strength was at the level of an ordinary Grand Knight was raging.

He was Earl Morton, the eldest son of the Duke of Blackhill.

"Can anyone tell me? What happened to my father? Haven't they found him yet?" Earl Morton demanded, and his generals dared not meet his gaze.

"My lord, it's all the fault of the Bloodthirsty Earl. It was he who led the enemy into our army. Perhaps he knows clues about the enemy and also knows the whereabouts of the Duke of Black Mountain," a high knight beside the Duke of Black Mountain suddenly said.

"Where is the Bloodthirsty Earl? Bring him here!"

"That's what Earl Morton said."

"The Bloodthirsty Earl has been captured by us. I'll go and bring him here right now." After saying this, a general immediately went to find the Bloodthirsty Earl.

After a full quarter of an hour, the general, his face ashen, said tremblingly, "My lord, the Bloodthirsty Earl... has also disappeared."

"What? Wasn't he captured? So many people couldn't even keep an eye on a Bloodthirsty Earl? A bunch of useless trash!" Earl Morton roared hysterically!

"The squad guarding the Bloodthirsty Earl has been wiped out. Someone poisoned them..." the general said, trembling.

Who on earth has such audacity?

How dare they go against the Duke of Montenegro!

"It must be a conspiracy by those damned southern nobles!"

"They somehow managed to hire a master."

Countess Silver Veil was also in a state of panic.

If the Duke of Montenegro dies, the remaining allied forces will be in a difficult situation facing the formidable royal family and the southern coalition.

He himself had rebelled with the Duke of Montenegro, betraying many southern nobles with whom he had previously had good relations.

Now that the rebel leader is nowhere to be found, if I get caught, I'll definitely be in big trouble.

He was already prepared to flee. Once this great battle was completely lost, he would have to prepare to run away. He could no longer stay in the Emerald Kingdom.

With his family's wealth and resources, he could go to the Tuva Empire and live in seclusion.

Joining the Tuva Empire is a good choice. The newly established Tuva Empire needs the support of a powerful foreign nobleman like myself.

While the Montenegrin coalition was banging on the table and getting angry.

The royal army and the allied forces of the southern nobles, who had decisively defeated the enemy, also retreated back to the royal city under the leadership of the Seven Divine Swords of the King.

They didn't dare to press their advantage, mainly because the whole thing was too strange and suspicious. They worried that it was a conspiracy by the cunning Duke of Black Mountain to lure them into a trap and wipe them all out.

The southern nobles and royal family were also bewildered. For no apparent reason, a high-ranking noble suddenly rebelled in the Duke of Black Mountain's camp.

Then the Montenegrin coalition fell into disarray, giving them an opportunity to exploit.

"I heard the Duke of Black Mountain has gone missing?" the young king suddenly asked. This was new intelligence brought to him by his subordinates, which was quite unbelievable.

"That's right. A mysterious powerful figure turned the Bloodthirsty Earl against his cause, broke into the Black Mountain Duke's army, and fought with the Black Mountain Duke. In the end, the Black Mountain Duke went to hunt down that person and never returned," said the Guardian Sword.

"Where did this mysterious powerful figure come from? Why are they helping us? Can we find out who this person is?"

The young king was puzzled.

"The situation hasn't been clarified yet. That powerful figure appeared too suddenly. He's very strong, on par with the Duke of Black Mountain, or at least a top-tier Grand Knight," said the Guardian Sword.

"Heaven is on my side!" The young king was overjoyed.

"It must be a divine warrior sent by the merciful Father of Heaven to help us clear out the rebels. This is the beginning of our full-scale counterattack!"

"Send the order: assemble all troops and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop!"

……

On the wilderness.

In a mountain forest.

Li Wei was touching the corpse of the Duke of Black Mountain.

He searched around and found nothing he wanted except some parchment with battle maps drawn on it.

However, this was within Li Wei's expectations, since the Duke of Montenegro would be busy most of the time strategizing and commanding the war, so he probably wouldn't be carrying anything else with him.

"What a pity."

"But it's not a complete loss, since I also got quite a bit of Evil Spirit Dust."

"There are two more gold boxes..."

"So, the golden box can seal away evil spirits. How come I never thought of that?"

Li Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

On the other side, the Bloody Count had already been turned into a living dead by Levi.

The Duke of Montenegro is dead, and the great revenge has been achieved.

This Bloodthirsty Earl has no reason to exist anymore.

Fortunately, one of our undead has been lost, which can be replaced by the Bloody Earl.

Li Wei made the Bloody Count the second Shadow, replacing the Pale Shadow.

He looked at Mo Sha and the others with heartache. Mo Sha had become a one-armed hero, Mo Shan had become a crippled man, and Mo Hai's leg was also limping because it had been completely shattered and could not be repaired.

In this respect, the living dead are far inferior to the Blue Frost Necromancers.

The undead lack self-healing abilities and wear down too quickly.

Li Wei couldn't find a solution for the time being, so he could only try changing the ingredients more often in the future.

As for the Duke of Montenegro's body, it has been destroyed.

Li Wei's Golden Ripple Palm shattered all the bones in his body, turning his entire corpse into a puddle of mud. Even with the Undead Core, it was impossible to make the corpse stand up.

This battle allowed Li Wei to fully develop the strongest techniques for using Ripple power.

That is to activate it directly with the palm of your hand, without the need for weapons.

This force is more direct and more ferocious!

Moreover, given the power of the ninth-tier black serpent, its own palm could completely withstand the counter-damage effect of the ripple power.

"One more thing, it seems my gaseous black scales are too obvious. Whether it's the Bloodthirsty Earl or the Black Mountain Duke, they can immediately recognize my identity upon seeing my gaseous black scales. Therefore, I must use gaseous black scales sparingly in the future, and anyone who has seen them must die!"

Li Wei summarized the lessons learned from this battle and warned himself to be careful and cautious.

Finally, he called out Tutankhamun, who was full.

"Here you go, the meditation method."
