The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Chapter 378: Cult Leader, Save Me

Star Absorbing Technique?

Jiang Ning's first reaction was the Star Absorbing Technique.

Yue Buqun had previously told him that there was a very evil martial art that could absorb the internal energy of others, called the Star Absorbing Technique. If you encountered a user of the Star Absorbing Technique, you would accidentally have your internal energy absorbed and lose all your martial arts skills.

More than a decade ago, when Ren Woxing roamed the martial arts world, his Star Absorbing Skill made many martial arts practitioners tremble with fear.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Ning frowned slightly and immediately prepared to stop.

Although he practiced the Innate Skill, a supreme treasure of Taoism, he had never fought against the Star Absorbing Technique before. Out of caution, Jiang Ning subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand and retreat, preparing to observe the situation further.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was about to stop and that the other party was preparing to withdraw his internal energy, Xiang Wentian subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

What he is now using is a minor technique called "Absorbing Power into the Earth," which he created based on the inspiration he gained from Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique. Compared to the Star Absorbing Technique, which can absorb the internal energy of others, this technique he created can transfer the opponent's internal energy outward.

Although his technique is different from the Star Absorbing Technique, those who don't know it will subconsciously think that he is using the Star Absorbing Technique, thus causing them to be greatly disturbed.

He had originally thought that Jiang Ning would be flustered when he saw this move, and that he might have a chance to counterattack. However, even when Jiang Ning retreated, he was very cautious, making it impossible for him to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

But that's enough. If things had continued to stalemate like before, he would have lost. At least now he can catch his breath for a while.

too strong.

Xiang Wentian was now deeply shocked. His gaze towards Jiang Ning was no longer one of disdain, but rather one filled with apprehension.

Ok?

Just as Jiang Ning was about to pull his hand away and retreat, he suddenly realized something was wrong and glanced at the ground where Xiang Wentian was standing.

Jiang Ning could sense that the internal energy that had disappeared from Xiang Wentian's body was actually reappearing on the ground beneath Xiang Wentian's feet.

Ok?

Upon realizing this, Jiang Ning's mind raced, and he immediately understood.

Xiang Wentian did not absorb his internal energy, but instead transferred it to his feet.

This is not the Star Absorbing Technique.

Understanding this, Jiang Ning did not stop, but instead channeled his inner strength and increased his speed.

what happened!

Xiang Wentian was horrified to realize that the internal force that the other party had withdrawn was not only surging back, but was even more ferocious and turbulent than before.

Does the other party already know that he doesn't actually know the Star Absorption Technique?

That shouldn't be the case.

Even if they were to find out, they shouldn't have found out so quickly, and even if they did, they wouldn't take the risk.

This is why people subconsciously choose to protect themselves when facing danger.

But Jiang Ning not only found out, but also launched a counterattack without hesitation. This keen judgment and decisiveness caught Xiang Wentian off guard.

"Um……"

A large amount of innate internal energy surged into his body. Faced with the sudden counterattack, Xiang Wentian couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Xiang Wentian gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning stared expressionlessly at Xiang Wentian, continuously channeling a large amount of internal energy into the latter's body. The energy would then disappear, only to reappear beneath the former's feet shortly afterward.

The innate internal energy that Xiang Wentian had transferred out of his body dissipated into the air, forming invisible currents that stirred up dust on the ground.

"hehe."

Xiang Wentian gave a cold laugh.

"You are very meticulous, discovering my secret so quickly. Your internal strength is indeed profound, but you are too arrogant. Now your internal strength has been expelled from my body. It is useless to me and is even being consumed. Let's see how long you can last."

Faced with Xiang Wentian's provocation, Jiang Ning remained unmoved, his face expressionless. He simply continued to transmit his internal energy, even increasing the speed of his transmission.

Xiang Wentian also noticed, but then sneered.

Young people are indeed impetuous and easily provoked. If things continue like this, no matter how deep the opponent's internal strength is, it will eventually run out. That will be the moment he turns the tables and kills Jiang Ning.

The two remained locked in a stalemate.

"What are they doing? Why are they so still? Have they been acupunctured?"

Among the onlookers, seeing Jiang Ning and Xiang Wentian standing motionless, some wondered what was going on. Only a few experts noticed something amiss with the two.

"Senior brother, is it possible that Ning'er is no match for Xiang Wentian?"

Ning Zhongze, who was watching the battle, saw that Jiang Ning and Xiang Wentian were not moving. With her experience, she knew that they were fighting with their internal strength, and she couldn't help but worry about Jiang Ning.

After all, Xiang Wentian has been famous for decades and has a great reputation. She was worried that Jiang Ning would be unable to compete with Xiang Wentian in terms of internal strength and would therefore lose.

"Don't worry."

Compared to Ning Zhongze's worries, Yue Buqun seemed rather calm.

No one understands Jiang Ning better than him. There are certainly people in the martial arts world with deeper internal strength than Jiang Ning, but they are few and far between, and Xiang Wentian is definitely not among them.

"..."

As time went on, Xiang Wentian increasingly realized that something was wrong.

Even now, the opponent's internal energy continues to surge in, seemingly endless, with no end in sight.

So deep?

Xiang Wentian's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

To be honest, Jiang Ning's profound internal strength surprised him.

Xiang Wentian felt a sudden urge to retreat, but Jiang Ning seemed to understand what he was thinking. Before Xiang Wentian could retreat, Jiang Ning reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"you!"

With his wrist gripped and unable to retreat, Xiang Wentian looked at Jiang Ning with a mixture of shock and anger.

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, but now the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

It's impossible to neutralize someone else's internal energy without paying a price. If Xiang Wentian wanted to expel his innate internal energy from his body, he would definitely have to expend his own internal energy as well.

Jiang Ning, realizing this, did not choose to stop, but continued to transfer his internal energy, and now it is indeed the case.

While Jiang Ning was expending his internal energy, Xiang Wentian was also expending his internal energy.

Since that's the case, then let's have a contest with Xiang Wentian to see who runs out of internal energy first.

A large amount of innate internal energy surged from Jiang Ning's body into Xiang Wentian's body on the opposite side.

"Um……"

Xiang Wentian let out a muffled groan, his throat moved, and a pungent, acrid taste filled his mouth.

Xiang Wentian raised his head and stared intently at Jiang Ning.

"Hehehe..."

Sensing Xiang Wentian's anger, Jiang Ning laughed, but his laughter sounded extremely sinister to Xiang Wentian.

Xiang Wentian wanted to stop, but his wrist was firmly gripped by Jiang Ning and he couldn't pull back. The other party's internal force was still being transmitted, and even if Xiang Wentian wanted to cut it off, he couldn't. Forcibly cutting it off would only cause him serious internal injuries, which would lead to defeat. He could only continue to be forced to use his Absorbing Power into the Earth technique.

Xiang Wentian gritted his teeth and held on, circulating all the internal energy in his body to guide Jiang Ning's internal energy underground.

At first, Xiang Wentian seemed to transfer Jiang Ning's internal energy relatively easily, but as time went on, the speed at which Xiang Wentian guided it became slower and slower, and Xiang Wentian's face became paler and paler.

This was because his internal energy was depleted. Faced with a large amount of internal energy surging into his body, Xiang Wentian could no longer draw out his internal energy to circulate the Absorption Technique and resist it.

"puff!"

Xiang Wentian could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master, save me!"

Chapter 379: The Victory is Already Decided

Xiang Wentian screamed in anguish.

Ok?

Ren Woxing, who was still watching the battle, was shocked to see Xiang Wentian being defeated so quickly. Upon hearing Xiang Wentian's cry for help, he disregarded everything else, took a step, and flew towards the center of the battle.

Ok?

Seeing this, Yue Buqun also rushed over.

Jiang Ning looked at Xiang Wentian, a smile appearing on his lips, and twisted his wrist.

Click.

"what!!!"

Xiang Wentian let out a scream.

At this moment, his arm, which was being held by Jiang Ning, was twisted.

A sharp pain struck, and Xiang Wentian's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Ning looked at him, her smile unchanged, and tightened her fingers, making a cracking sound from her palm.

Blood seeped from between Jiang Ning's fingers, dripping onto the ground with a pitter-patter sound.

"Um……"

Xiang Wentian groaned, clenching his teeth to forcefully endure the excruciating pain.

At this moment, his arm muscles were torn, and Jiang Ning was still constantly channeling his internal energy through his arm, causing it to surge and wreak havoc within his body. Two kinds of excruciating pain struck, and Xiang Wentian almost cried out in pain again.

Seeing that Xiang Wentian was no longer able to resist, Jiang Ning killed him in the next second.

"you dare!"

Seeing this, Ren Woxing quickened his pace, channeling all his inner strength, and arrived in front of Jiang Ning in the blink of an eye, striking out with a palm.

Jiang Ning glanced at Ren Woxing out of the corner of his eye. Ren Woxing had already charged forward. Jiang Ning frowned slightly and kicked him.
