As Ling Zhenfei began to clash with Wu Yingxiong, he had already covered him with his Divine Sense, so at the critical moment, he could only resort to Soul Shock.
Ling Zhenfei had originally planned to use Soul Shock as his trump card, seizing an opportunity to catch Wu Yingxiong by surprise, but who could have expected the situation to become so dire that he had no choice but to use it now.
Wu Yingxiong's Divine Sense was briefly staggered by Ling Zhenfei's assault, his body momentarily rigid, but he quickly recovered to normal.
Although the encounter was exceedingly brief, by the time he regained his composure, Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix had also recovered, successfully evading Wu Yingxiong's attack.
"Good lad, you're quite interesting."
"The feeling's mutual."
What Ling Zhenfei and Wu Yingxiong said was, of course, unknown to Phoenix; she only saw what appeared to be a very ordinary Technique, unaware of the undercurrents and actions of the two men.
At this time, the killing aura emanating from Wu Yingxiong intensified, and Ling Zhenfei felt as if something was trying to burrow into his mind.
"What's going on, my head hurts so much?" Phoenix suddenly exclaimed.
Ling Zhenfei said, "This must be a side effect of Wu Yingxiong's killing aura. Quickly use your Divine Sense to resist, and do not let that thing invade."
Ling Zhenfei's Soul Attack targeted the Divine Sense, while Wu Yingxiong's killing aura affected the will of a person.
If one's Divine Sense were infiltrated by this killing aura, there was a good chance of becoming disoriented, making it impossible to confront Wu Yingxiong.
Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei's cultivation of Divine Sense was very strong, preventing the killing aura from invading.
But at that moment, Wu Yingxiong suddenly leaped toward the two, striking out at them.
"Overwhelming waves!"
Upon shouting, Wu Yingxiong's palm unleashed spiritual energy resembling overwhelming waves, smashing down upon the two.
The most despairing part was that these waves seemed unavoidable. Seeing Phoenix in a bad state, Ling Zhenfei quickly positioned himself in front of her, releasing all his spiritual energy towards the overpowering waves.
Boom!
Ling Zhenfei's palm struck the massive wave, expecting it to dissipate, but to his surprise, his strike split the wave into three smaller ones.
This is the so-called technique within the Technique; the overwhelming waves were just a ruse, the real challenge was the hidden maneuver behind it.
The three waves rushed directly towards Ling Zhenfei, coming from three different directions and threatening to encircle him.
Ling Zhenfei had just expended all his spiritual energy and was temporarily unable to condense more, leaving him nowhere to dodge.
Just then, Ling Zhenfei felt his body enveloped by a wave of spiritual energy; he knew it was Phoenix's doing.
It was exceptionally warm and comforting. Without resisting, he let the wave pull him beside Phoenix, successfully avoiding the attack of the three waves.
"I've saved you again; we're even now," Phoenix said, delighted by the rescue.
"Miss, drop the chit-chat. This old guy is tough to handle," Ling Zhenfei replied.
Ling Zhenfei could tell that Wu Yingxiong was indeed formidable, beyond the capacity of an average person to deal with.
Phoenix said, "Stop holding back. If you have any powerful attacks, use them now."
"Watch closely."
Ling Zhenfei began to condense spiritual energy in his hand, gathering it from both sides, and stretched his hand toward Wu Yingxiong, executing Sky Piercing Finger.
The Sky Piercing Finger was like a powerful beam of light. Wu Yingxiong, naturally sensing its mighty force, hastily dodged to the side.
But at that moment, Ling Zhenfei's left hand launched another Finger, forcing Wu Yingxiong to dodge frantically, narrowly avoiding two strikes of Sky Piercing Finger. However, by now, Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix had closed in on him.
"Ling Zhenfei immediately launched the fifth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, the Earth-Splitting Fist, which could be said to be his strongest attack.
Phoenix also had a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy in her hands and condensed a Heavenly Gang Seal, which she hurled directly at Wu Yingxiong.
Although Wu Yingxiong's reaction wasn't very timely, he had the strength on his side and suddenly moved his hands, blocking the attacks from the two of them with brute force.
Bang!
Wu Yingxiong was sent flying by the full-force strike from Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix, but the damage inflicted on him wasn't very severe.
'Is this all you two are capable of? Too weak. Let me show you my strength.'
Wu Yingxiong laughed sinisterly, his figure leaping into the air once again, changing positions several times before he struck at Ling Zhenfei and her with one palm.
Although it seemed like a single palm strike, what surrounded Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix was an overwhelming wave.
The waves, coming from all directions, made Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix seem like a small boat sailing on the ocean, currently facing the trial of overwhelming waves, at any moment liable to be destroyed with all hands.
Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped a beat, clearly recognizing that Wu Yingxiong had resorted to his ultimate technique. The previous wave was already difficult to deal with, but this 'overwhelming wave' from the Martial Saint was far more powerful.
'What to do?' Phoenix was also very anxious, seemingly unsure of how to counter it.
'Don't worry, there is always a way to break through any technique.'
'But how could we possibly break it in such a short time?'
Ling Zhenfei said, 'No need to break it, just escaping would be enough.'
Although it sounded easy, with the waves coming from all sides, how could they possibly escape?
But Ling Zhenfei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned around to embrace Phoenix.
Phoenix was baffled at that moment: 'What are you doing?'
Ling Zhenfei didn't speak and suddenly used the strength in his legs to fly upwards.
'Hold on to me.'
Ling Zhenfei shouted to Phoenix, who, in shock, clung tightly to him.
In mid-air, a dagger suddenly appeared in Ling Zhenfei's hand; it was a pure white Dragon Tooth Dagger with a prominent display of Northern Spiritual Energy, quite eye-catching.
After it appeared in Ling Zhenfei's hand, he immediately plunged the dagger into the ceiling.
Ling Zhenfei relied on the force from the dagger to support his and Phoenix's weight.
The overwhelming waves hit an empty space in the middle, colliding and creating a powerful Spiritual Power shockwave.
'Look quickly, Wu Yingxiong's Spiritual Power consumption is too great, he seems to be struggling.'
Ling Zhenfei quickly glanced at Wu Yingxiong and indeed saw his body trembling, clearly due to excessive consumption of Northern Spiritual Energy.
This state was much like when he was forced to use the sixth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, exceeding the limits of his body; a slight mishap could easily result in injuring himself, which was exactly Wu Yingxiong's current situation.
'Then what are we waiting for? Take advantage of his weakness and go for his life.' Ling Zhenfei shouted, holding Phoenix as he leaped toward Wu Yingxiong on the ground.
Splitting in mid-air, Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix separated, charging at Wu Yingxiong from two directions.
Clutching the Dragon Tooth Dagger in his hand, Ling Zhenfei's Northern Spiritual Energy surged, obviously starving for action.
The Dragon Tooth Dagger exuded sharpness, transforming the dagger into something like a Longsword, as Ling Zhenfei thrust it at Wu Yingxiong.
Wu Yingxiong's eyes filled with horror, clearly not expecting Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix to have so easily dodged his overwhelming waves, and moreover, without a scratch."
