The Nine-Headed Golden Lion held the Golden Saint Hammer and he gave off a strong vibe.
The saint talisman scripts and the Laws of Greater Dao on top of the Golden Saint Hammer constantly turned, and the sky and ground separated because they could not endure the vast amount of energy.
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion looked at Qingfeng Li coldly and said, “You want to check out my Ninth Stance of the Heavenly Hammer? Very well, I will show you how strong my moves are now.”
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion suddenly shouted, “Ninth Stance of the Heavenly Hammer.”
He swung the Golden Saint Hammer forward, and it changed into nine gigantic hammers as it travelled forward.
These nine gigantic hammers were like nine Laws of Greater Dao, and they struck Qingfeng Li from all directions. Each of them carried the same amount of energy, which was equivalent to the attacks from nine high-level dharma treasures.
Qingfeng Li’s face slightly changed. He then used his clairvoyance and looked at the Ninth Stance of the Heavenly Hammer as his eyes gave off golden rays.
He wanted to identify which hammers were real and which ones were fake.
Unfortunately, even Qingfeng Li’s Clairvoyance ability could not identify the real and fake hammers. This was because the Ninth Stance of Heavenly Hammer was too fast. Most importantly, all nine giant hammers seemed real.
Qingfeng Li frowned, and a flash of confusion appeared in his eyes. He then thought, “There was only one golden hammer before, but how come all nine golden saint hammers look so real now? What happened?”
Without giving Qingfeng Li enough time to react, the Ninth Stance of the Heavenly Hammer had already came to him. Qingfeng Li didn’t dare to hesitate again and swung the Yin-Yang Saint Sword forward in a rush.
The Yin-Yang Saint Sword blocked a few of the giant hammers in the front but failed to block the latter ones.
The latter giant hammers hit onto Qingfeng Li’s back with much force. With a “boom” sound, Qingfeng Li flew out involuntarily. His bones broke, and he spat out some blood. It was obvious that he was severely injured.
Qingfeng Li was very strong. He had just become a middle-grade saint, and his skin, bones, and physical body became even stronger after practicing the Mortal Purgatory Body.
But he was facing against the Golden Saint Hammer, which was a high-grade saint item, not to mention that the hammers attacked in a pack, so even Qingfeng Li could not resist the violent energy at the moment.
Qingfeng Li hurriedly sent a voice transmission to the Dark Night Emperor and asked, “What is happening? Why do I see all nine Golden Saint Hammers are real even with my clairvoyance ability?”
The Dark Night Emperor gasped and said, “Impressive. I did not expect the Nine-Headed Golden Lion Avatar to be able to learn the Ninth Stance of the Heavenly Hammer. The Ninth Stance of Heavenly Hammer is very popular as it is a saint technique at the pinnacle tier, which makes it extremely strong. All nine of his giant hammers are, in fact, real.”
Qingfeng Li said, “How could that be possible? He only had one Golden Saint Hammer in his hands, how could he release nine real giant hammers? Does he actually have nine Golden Saint Hammers instead of only one?”
Dark Night Emperor sent a voice transmission to Qingfeng Li, “Of course he does not have nine Golden Saint Hammers. He only has one, but he is attacking at a very fast speed.”
“The nine Golden Saint Hammers are stacked attacks, which means that they are just the stacked images of the Golden Saint Hammer. Basically, the Golden Saint Hammer can attack nine times at once.”
“It’s just that the frequency of the Golden Saint Hammer is way over the human limit, at a speed faster than that of light. Your eyes would not be able to see through all the moves, unless you become even stronger.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and finally understood what was going on. He was suspicious about all nine giant hammers being real, and now he understood that they were indeed real. They were not ghost images but stacked images of the original Golden Saint Hammer.
While Qingfeng Li was having a voice transmission with Dark Night Emperor, the Ninth Stance of the Heavenly Hammer attacked him again. It hit Qingfeng Li on the right arm this time.
Katcha!
The Golden Saint Hammer broke Qingfeng Li’s arm, which revealed the white bones inside. The scene looked very miserable.
Qingfeng Li’s body flew hundreds of feet out again due to the attack. He landed heavily on a hill and created a giant human-shaped hole in it.
The other self-cultivators were very surprised upon seeing this scene.
They had just saw how strong Qingfeng Li was. He was able to go even with the Nine-headed Golden Lion without showing any sign of defeat.
But how come ever since the Nine-Headed Golden Lion used the Ninth Stance of the Heavenly Hammer, he became undefeatable and even injured Qingfeng Li.
The others thought about it and understood everything. The technique that the Nine-Headed Golden Lion used was a very clever technique, it was at least a saint technique at the pinnacle tier.
The Ninth Stance of Heavenly Hammer was a renowned technique back in the Ancient Era.
“I thought Qingfeng Li was going to win, but I think it is impossible for him to win now.”
“Qingfeng Li is too weak compare to the Nine-Headed Golden Lion. Not only does he lack in terms of cultivation strength, but also dharma treasure and techniques.”
“That’s right. When the Nine-Headed Golden Lion used the Ninth Stance of Heavenly Hammer, I felt very anxious. Even if I were to face the Ninth Stance of Heavenly Hammer, I doubt that I would win.”
The other self-cultivators talked among themselves and looked at Qingfeng Li with pity in their eyes. They knew that Qingfeng Li was going to lose for sure, that the outcome was absolutely irreversible.
The Vast Sky Saint Son, Linglong Saintess, Heavenly-sword Saint Son, and Furious-blade Saint Son who stood far away from the battle all nodded. They knew that the odds were against Qingfeng Li’s favor this time, that he was not a match for the the Nine-Headed Golden Lion.
Upon seeing Qingfeng Li getting injured, the Blood Sea Saint’s eyes became worried, and there were tears forming in her eyes.
The Blood Sea Saint knew that Qingfeng Li only fought the Nine-Headed Golden Lion to save her, but now Qingfeng Li was greatly injured. He was obviously not a match to the Golden Saint Hammer, which made her feel guilty.
The Blood Sea Saint swore to herself that if they were saved this time, then she would practice harder and become stronger, so that she could help Qingfeng Li in the future instead of being a burden.
In the other direction, the Clear-Wood Saintess and Yun Lan also felt worried. They wanted to help, but Black Puppy stopped them again.
Black Puppy said, “You two, stop being so reckless, don’t think about helping Qingfeng Li as soon as you see him getting injured. You would only encumber him.”
Rage appeared in the Clear-Wood Saintess’s eyes, she then said, “Do you not see how strong the Ninth Stance of Heavenly Hammer that the Nine-Headed Golden Lion used is? Qingfeng Li cannot resist it, he is going to lose his life!”
Black Puppy shook his head and said, “I told you guys, nothing is going to happen to Qingfeng Li. He is saving his trump cards, and he is doing this to train himself. Trust my words.”
The Clear-Wood Saintess and Yun Lan looked at each other. They thought for awhile and did not speak again.
Honestly, they wanted to believe in Black Puppy’s words, but right now Qingfeng Li’s arm and bones were broken, and a huge hole also appeared on his body, which made them feel very worried.
