Even though martial arts cultivators do not have all kinds of strange or powerful magical powers like warlocks, they still have their own tricks due to the relationship between their respective skills.
At the same time, some martial arts cultivators also have some secret techniques that can produce miraculous effects.
Among these secret techniques, in addition to concealing cultivation, some can also achieve effects such as temporarily increasing attack power or speed through bursts of energy and blood.
As an innate strong man, even if there is a gap in strength, his vision will not be much different.
However, in their eyes, Zeng Hongshen's performance just now did not seem to be the result of using a secret technique, but rather like the magical power of a magician.
But, how could a martial artist possess supernatural powers?
Such an absurd conclusion appeared in the minds of the three people, and was forcibly denied in the next moment.
Not everyone is able to accept concepts beyond common sense at the first time, because they prefer to believe that they are wrong and that it is just a special secret technique.
But regardless of whether it was secret skills or supernatural powers, the three of them did not dare to take another step forward.
Some people think that secret techniques are always accompanied by various backlash effects and the conditions for use are very stringent, so they can only be used once in a short period of time.
But the conclusion is actually not entirely correct.
Secret techniques are developed by different people to achieve different effects.
It is true that there are gains and losses.
If you want to do things that you can't usually do, you will naturally need to pay some price. Most secret techniques are accompanied by certain negative effects.
Or, like the secret technique of concealing cultivation, you cannot use all your strength while hiding your realm; or you can temporarily enhance your own strength, but then it will backfire on you after it is over, hurting others first.
However, after all, the secret technique was developed by different people, and they did not communicate with each other during the research. How could all the conditions for use be the same?
Low power operation or overload operation, so it is normal to have the above negative effects, but no one stipulates that the use conditions must be harsh, or that it can only be used once in a short period of time.
Therefore, although they saw the scene of Zeng Hongshen vomiting blood again, they could not guarantee that he would not be able to repeat the move just now.
And if it happened again...
The two slightly injured people looked at the person with a broken leg.
During the siege just now, the barbarian master's confidence greatly increased after seeing Zeng Hongshen suffer repeated injuries, so he was a little more aggressive than the other three.
And it was this small gap in distance that caused Zeng Hongshen's leg to be cut off with a sword as he kicked it.
Even though a martial artist can control his own energy and blood and heal some wounds on his body at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to match, he cannot regenerate a broken limb.
"hiss……"
The two of them shivered uncontrollably.
If the crippled old man could still use the move just now, I'm afraid it would be them who would lose his arms and legs.
As for the barbarian master whose leg was cut off, although there was a trace of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Zeng Hongshen, he was also more fearful than the others.
It is true that for martial arts practitioners, the whole body can be used as a weapon, but there is always a focus.
What he is good at is legwork.
Now that one of his legs has been amputated, although the bleeding has been forcibly stopped, most of his own strength has been lost.
Even though he could barely attack, after being severely injured, he might not be able to be killed first by the crippled old man.
It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them.
He understood this truth, and it was impossible for the crippled old man not to understand this.
Their team is a coalition of multiple forces, and they are already on guard against each other, and no one would be willing to sacrifice themselves just to assassinate King Yu.
In fact, the reason why Zeng Hongshen was able to last for such a long time may not be because they were wary of each other.
And even if you survive, others may not fall into trouble.
Now that he only has one leg left, he can still barely protect himself, but if he is injured again, he may not give others the opportunity to take advantage of him.
He already had the intention to retreat.
The crippled old man on the left and right was injured more deeply than the other three. If they were more careful, they might not have a chance of winning. Why would he forcefully participate in the siege with a seriously injured body?
Not to mention that Zeng Hongshen may still have the ability to use the move just now, even if he didn't, he wouldn't take the risk.
With this in mind, he didn't even say hello, but took advantage of the water curtain surrounding the ship to open a big hole again, and retreated back to the shore.
The other two were not surprised either.
They would have done the same thing if they had been hit hard.
However, they did not retreat like the barbarian master with a broken leg.
They can also draw the conclusion that person made.
Judging from the fact that Old Man Tiancan lured them to attack at the same time at his own expense, even if his move can be used again, the conditions for its use should be more stringent.
Therefore, as long as they are careful, the chance of winning with three people against Zeng Hongshen, who is now more seriously injured, is not small.
In fact, the conditions for use of Afterimage are not that harsh.
As a supernatural power derived from the physical body, it is just like Di Xin's Shrunk into an Inch. As long as there is a sufficient supply of Qi and blood, there are almost no conditions for its use.
The reason why he didn't use it from the beginning was because in the small space of the ship, and he could only stick to the ship's cabin, the original reaction speed was enough.
No matter how fast the attack speed is, it will not be more effective as long as the four people besieging him are on guard.
In this case, he used this magical power as a trump card so that he could catch them off guard at the critical moment.
And now, even though he could only use Afterimage once more due to his injury, he had successfully reduced the number of people besieging him by one.
Now it has changed from one against four to one against three.
And with the threat of disappearing shadows, the remaining three people will definitely have some scruples when they take action.
Therefore, although we are still at a disadvantage now, the situation is actually a little better than before.
At the very least, he had a short period of time to adjust the increasingly disordered energy and blood in his body before the other three took action again.
Although such a short period of time and such a simple breath adjustment cannot make the injury better, it can at least suppress it so that the strength that one can exert is less affected.
…
at the same time.
The battle on the ship was watched by the three people on the shore who were interfering with the ship's speed.
Therefore, when the barbarian master with a broken leg returned to the shore, the Mingyuelou Tianzihao grand master who was originally responsible for interfering with the ship was shocked, but he was also ready to take his place on the ship and participate in the siege.
However, when he stopped attacking the water, the speed of the ship increased instantly.
However, because the barbarian master had broken a leg, he was temporarily unable to keep up with their speed and could not take over his task on the shore.
