Chapter 908: Damaged Meridians
An old saying goes, one cannot judge a person by appearance, nor the sea by its measure.
Don’t be fooled by Wang Sijing’s tall and thin appearance, seemingly without an ounce of flesh.
However, she is a high-level martial artist and the direct disciple of the Wang Family.
What is the most formidable aspect of the Wang Family?
It’s the explosive power! Tons of explosive power.
Moreover, the person in front of us has a solid foundational strength, without a trace of superficiality.
A month ago, before Lin Tian advanced into the Golden Core Realm, he might not have been able to defeat her.
Wang Sijing stood amidst the pristine snow, her eyes like burning flames as she looked at Lin Tian.
This guy, the shame he’s brought upon me and the entire Wang Family is a capital offense!
Boom!
With a light sound, Wang Sijing turned into a white shadow, her speed akin to being fast-forwarded to eight times speed. Even Lin Tian could not determine her exact position with the naked eye, only a rough direction.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Sijing was right in front of Lin Tian, less than half a meter away.
This was already a dangerous distance.
Whoosh~
Wang Sijing raised her right hand high, then leaped up, thrusting her right elbow down.
Her elbow was aimed right at Lin Tian’s head; if it landed, his head would shatter like a watermelon.
The characteristic of the Wang Family’s explosive power is that it always focuses all its destructive force at the critical moment.
Lin Tian raised both hands over his head, managing to block Wang Sijing’s strike, but his hands were already numb, feeling as if his Qi and blood couldn’t keep up.
Lin Tian had a moment earlier thought of kicking her away, which would dodge the attack and deliver a significant blow to Wang Sijing.
However, due to many factors such as speed and strength, Lin Tian didn’t dare make that move and had to resort to passive defense.
Suddenly, the corners of Wang Sijing’s mouth slightly curled up, showing a smug expression.
The next second, her body moved like a swimming dragon, tapping the snowy ground three times with her toes, her speed surpassing even Lin Tian.
This woman, she actually concentrated her Spiritual Qi onto her toes, her speed could rival the Yue Family.
Tap tap tap~
Wang Sijing’s fingers were like a long sword, tapping thrice on Lin Tian’s back.
While obvious attacks are easy to dodge, hidden ones are hard to defend against.
No one has eyes on their back, and arms cannot move freely behind them, making the back a blind spot. Lin Tian was no different.
Thus, defending from behind is extremely challenging.
Wang Sijing tapped three times on his back, all hitting acupoints.
The Ren and Du Meridians, as well as a Qi Sea Meridian that runs throughout the body.
Both Spiritual Qi and Inner Strength need to be transferred through the meridians.
How complex are the meridians of the human body? Their patterns are hard to discern, yet many major meridians have specific locations, such as the Ren and Du Meridians.
After these three taps, Wang Sijing swiftly retreated ten meters away, maintaining an absolutely safe distance from Lin Tian.
Wang Sijing stood afar, still wearing a smug smile on her face.
Lin Tian turned his head to look at Wang Sijing, feeling only terror deep inside.
This woman is no ordinary person!
This was the first time Lin Tian faced Wang Sijing head-on, and all he could feel was that she was nothing short of ’unordinary’.
Lin Tian admitted that he had been careless. After all, having fully fused with the Golden Core, did he need to take a high-level martial artist seriously?
Lin Tian thought he didn’t have to, so he had been treating Wang Sijing like a three-year-old kid who hadn’t grown up.
But he really didn’t expect that this child was only playing the pig to eat the tiger!
Perhaps others couldn’t sense it, but Lin Tian could deeply feel the terror this woman embodied.
Firstly, it was her speed, utilizing the Wang Family’s unique explosive bursts to propel her speed to an astonishing level.
Next, was how well she handled the details.
She had just leaped high, aiming her elbow at his head, and though it seemed immensely powerful, this woman was quite cunning.
That elbow contained hidden strength, causing paralysis from his shoulders to feet for a second.
Within that brief second, she tapped his back three times.
It’s important to note that the Ren and Du Meridians, or the meridians of Spiritual Qi, are hidden deep beneath the human skin, making it commendable to even locate them, yet Wang Sijing could strike them with Inner Strength.
Her Inner Strength contained hidden force, and while it was quite a task, with some effort, it could indeed shatter a meridian.
Pff~
Lin Tian spat out a small mouthful of blood, and the whole demeanor of his body seemed fatigued as he slumped to the ground.
Currently, Lin Tian looked so wretched that if a small bowl was placed in front of him, people would spare him money.
"Heh heh," Wang Sijing laughed smugly at Lin Tian, "Is that all? Nothing more than an embroidered pillow. The taste of hidden strength isn’t pleasant, right? How does it feel for a mighty Golden Core expert to have their Ren and Du Meridians exposed so easily? Do you even have the face to live in this world? Why not let me give you a blade and you can go and end it."
Wang Sijing ridiculed mercilessly. During this period, both she and the entire Wang Family had been too stifled; finding such an opportunity, how could she not vent?
Originally, Wang Sijing just wanted to test and probe Lin Tian’s capabilities, but never expected to hit the mark in one shot.
Such a feeling was akin to winning a big lottery.
Lin Tian sat cross-legged on the snow, the Golden Core within his Qi Sea quickly spiraling, inciting a Spiritual Qi storm in his body.
"Humph!" Wang Sijing’s face flashed a hint of displeasure, muttering, "In this state, you’re still meditating? Can Inner Strength even run? This is the Five Pure Ones Temple, with so many people; even though I can’t take your pathetic life, in your current state, you won’t last long."
Lin Tian remained seated with his eyes closed, like a meditative monk deep in contemplation.
Zhou Chenghang felt an indescribable glee seeing him like this. He stepped forward and said, "He’s a cripple now, right?"
Gazing at Zhou Chenghang’s gloomy face, Wang Sijing nodded then shook her head, "I know what you’re thinking now, but I advise you not to do anything and keep your distance."
"Why?" Zhou Chenghang intensified his tone, "Didn’t you just say he won’t last long?"
Wang Sijing glanced at Zhou Chenghang indifferently, as if watching a fool, "Have you heard that a starved camel is still bigger than a horse? From where you’re standing, he could easily kill you!"
Zhou Chenghang shivered, slightly shifting his steps, placing himself behind Wang Sijing like making her his shield.
Wang Sijing chuckled disdainfully, saying nothing more.
It was supposed to be nothing more than a cold and loveless family arrangement.
To Wang Sijing, the person was just a stranger, so why would she care about the feelings a stranger brought?
