The power that came crashing down on the old man made his expression change. He was knocked out flying and after some distance tried to stabilize himself.
But the look on the old man’s face was that of astonishment and fear, his bones had cracked in several areas, and internal injuries on this one collision woke him up. He seemed to have realized that continuing like this would become disastrous to him. This was all true especially after seeing that Wang seemed intact from their collision and her control of power was improving through the fights.
When this all is happening Wang did not meddle but kept watching and couldn’t help but admire her a little.
When the words a genius are mentioned, the perfect picture that comes to his mind is Ruruo.
Back then she was also attracted to his speed of cultivation, but she thought he was hiding cultivation at the time but she realized it was not the case.
Yet he has always wondered how his wife has always managed to keep up with his cultivation pace when he has a system.
It is something he could not understand as he was cheating his way with the potential value increasing with time. The competitive nature could not be brought out at all. He was already certain he was not a match for her if the conditions were to be a good equalized for both of them.
But he soon regained his focus from the slight thoughts only to see that Ruruo’s sword technique seemed to have started adapting and changing based on the rhythm of the battle.
But he did not need to be surprised as she is who she is. His face retained his expressionless face but deep down he could not help but suck in cold air.
…..
He had already practiced putting on this kind of face when near her since her actions seemed too abnormal.
He even seemed to be wondering whether she was some daughter of destiny.
But the collision between the two seemed to have reached a point that the others at the law state level seemed dazed.
This was true when they felt how Ruruo’s use of the law was so poor. But they did not realize she had yet to enter the level of a domain. The attacks she launched were mainly just breaking the laws with the sword.
But the old man in charge of the city was the one that was getting more wounds that seemed to cut off his vitality slowly.
Only Wang knew she was not in the level of law Domain yet and just kept observing the show in a way to also prevent others from suddenly interfering in this fight.
If the old man could realize that he was being bullied by some younger generation and at the same time the realm was low he might go berserk.
In the world of martial arts, the mentality is also important and if one’s state of the mind is broken then it is death.
One is not required to have a high stage in their mind power or even have it at all, but rather the beliefs formed from practice should be strong enough and when shaken the crumbling of their hard work is almost absolute.
The old man has been able to step into the law domain level and is aware that this might probably be the limit of his strength but he has yet to enjoy the privileges that came with it. In that way, having to risk his life in this place did not seem that important to him in the end.
But this realization seemed to have come too late. At the moment he is busy fighting this woman and thus he is supposed to not be distracted by anything. n0𝑣𝔢𝐿𝐮𝑠𝐛.𝗰0𝓂
He had worked hard for years to reach the current state he was standing on.
Perhaps to others, this level is not a big deal but they are not the same as him.
Unless other heaven-defying opportunities were to be miraculously obtained by him or then his fate might indeed change.
In this way, the old man had already stopped being arrogant about the situation.
His memories were very clear, and at the moment the old man seemed to think of the time he had to take risks to just advance in the realm. But in the end, he was also too obsessed with the realms beyond, yet his potential did not allow it.
Potential as the word says is not based on one aspect alone but an aggregate.
But the most important issue of this is that some important aspects have to be put into consideration.
The old man could indeed see this woman was difficult to deal with.
Ruruo had indeed reached the eighth level with the conversion of her Qi Codex. She was extremely strong at her current level and given some time perhaps the Qi codex could have been completed.
In this way, even a law Domain expert seemed to be having a hard time dating her.
But Wang could see that she was adapting and perhaps it was only a matter of time before she could handle the old man.
But that did not mean he was letting down his guard, and since people are already enemies one might end up even sacrificing their life to deal with the opponent.
In the world there are indeed many people like this and Wang did not rule out this possibility.
In that case, he had to be wary of this old man. If he had such kind of resolution that both of them should die together then he could only make a move.
He had already made some preparations just in case when he meddled with the formation of the city.
Thankfully that old man was very rational and instead of continuing to take risks wants to borrow the strength of the other elders to exhaust Ruruo.
He thus shouted towards them,
“Form formation, assist in killing enemy! ”
He yelled angrily, and at this moment he was almost losing his prestige because of it.
He also seems to have intensified his attacks. One could indeed see that he was angry at this time.
His attacks were becoming more violent with time. This is because he could see that the injuries he was suffering were hardly healing.
When they accumulated to a certain degree perhaps it would become very fatal.
Ruruo turned around and found that the group of elders did not seem to be participating in the attack but rather formed a formation that covered her.
At the same time, she could see that the area several miles around her was covered by some oppressive force.
This force seemed to be directed towards her and at the same time she discovered the old man did not enter the area but rather attacked from some distance.
In another area, checking out this means Wang found it interesting as he could see that the old man was amplifying his domain by some means of formations but in the end, he did not wish to study it but just thought it was creative.
It seemed that the force of this ‘domain’ wanted to crush her into a mash, but in the end, her physique was not normal.
And the body refinement art she practiced also seemed to come into play. Though it had not reached the level where it could compete against Wang that had taken his physical body way beyond the law domain level, it was okay.
The application of such a low-level group baffle formation could hardly act as something to bring about interference in a battle.
But in the end, when the matter of life and death is concerned, the interference can indeed have some effect on others but not everyone.
In this case, the sword she was holding seemed to have some ability to isolate some of the force and at the same time, Ruruo seemed to have realized something interesting.
She seemed to have seen an opportunity from the sword and the enemy.
Yes, but she realized a domain, which is but she could not use it. This was a chance for her.
It’s no wonder the fighting of others seems to be thr fastest way to improve one’s cultivation and stabilize the foundation. Buy this is not something that everyone can follow since most people like stability and fighting everywhere seems too contrary to their objective of practicing martial arts at higher levels. The end game for most people is longer lifespans and this can be threatened by going ahead to fight others often.
The sword Ruruo was holding was something that had yet to be completely formed, but the fact that it could help out in this aspect meant that the potential it contained was beyond its current level.
In the same way, the effect of the formation was indeed reduced due to having killed almost more than half of the elders at the beginning.
Now the remaining elders can hardly suppress her using it. It was no different from the use of a damaged tool to perform a task.
Ruruo observed the old man that was standing some distance away and rushed towards him.
When she drew her sword towards the old man, one could hear a sword cry.
Zheng!
Then a white light was reflected cutting off towards the old man and even the field that was covering Ruruo trying to oppress her was severed along with the attack.
Another attack also was aimed at the group of elders and they unlike the old man could hardly avoid this one.
The old man’s eyelids twitched, as soon as he saw this situation. He was sure that the attacks Ruruo was using now were stronger than before and the elders that were helping him just now might not be able to escape.
He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. If the opponent was this strong why did he not show it in the beginning?
