"Too difficult to deal with!"
Kang Shin-mu couldn't help but think that if this continued, the energy in his body would be exhausted before his opponent. One must know that his opponent's cultivation was three levels higher than Kang Shin-mu. Such a stalemate wasn't what Kang Shin-mu wanted to see.
"Since that's the case, I'll just keep attacking!"
"Phantom Dragon Fang Transformation!"
Kang Shin-mu's entire body was wrapped in purple magic crystals. The Heavenly Saint's Halberd flickered with a dazzling golden radiance. Accompanied by countless Phantom Dragon Fangs, he swept towards the Ancient Rock Dragon that Gu Tiifeng had transformed into.
Another round of attacks fell, but Gu Tiifeng did not budge at all. The Ancient Rock Dragon quickly flew over and collided with Jiang Shenwu's attacks. Its innate talent power rapidly condensed and spread on the Ancient Rock Dragon's body, almost covering its entire body like a huge mountain.
The huge mountain crashed down!
Kang Shin-mu's entire divine dragon body was heavily pressed down by his opponent, crashing onto the martial stage. His entire body was in pain from the impact, but at this time, he found an opportunity.
Gu Tiifeng condensed his innate energy into a huge rock and covered the surface of his body. This was a great opportunity for Kang Shin-mu, because he could devour the innate energy!
"Devour!"
Kang Shin-mu's pitch-black devouring force emerged from the surface and quickly covered the Ancient Rock Dragon's body, devouring the innate energy.
"Die!"
Gu Tiifeng didn't care. His entire body burst out with terrifying dragon strength, and his dragon claw tore at Kang Shin-mu. It was actually an offensive dragon martial skill similar to the Roaring Sky Dragon Claw. It didn't need to rely on the innate energy to burst out with great power.
The purple magic crystal on Kang Shin-mu's body was quickly torn apart by the dragon claw. Because there was no innate energy to be devoured, it couldn't quickly condense again.
Both sides tore each other apart, and the most intense hand-to-hand battle in the entire Clan Tournament appeared.
Both of them had a lot of tricks up their sleeves. If one were to observe carefully, Kang Shin-mu had no way to deal with Gu Ti Feng. Meanwhile, Kang Shin-mu's defenses were constantly being broken by his opponent's ferocious attacks. Kang Shin-mu didn't even have the time to deploy a new set of defenses.
Not long after the battle began, Kang Shin-mu was already pressed to the ground and heavily attacked. It seemed that he had no strength to fight back.
"Even if this Ancient Physique Peak doesn't suddenly erupt with power, I can only fail if I keep suppressing it like this!
Most importantly, he didn't even use his Innate Ability … "
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself. Although he was at an absolute disadvantage, he was still able to remain calm. This battle was definitely going to be a protracted one, and a momentary loss was not enough to determine the outcome.
He had to find his opponent's flaws in order to defeat Gu Tifeng. Otherwise, Kang Shin-mu's attacks would be useless against Gu Tifeng.
"Phantom Dragon Tooth Transformation!"
"Halberd of Heavenly Saint!"
Kang Shin-mu switched from defense to offense. Countless Phantom Dragon Teeth and golden halberd landed on the Ancient Rock Dragon's body in their strongest state. Although they weren't able to break through its defense, they were still able to knock its body away.
The pitch-black divine dragon took the opportunity to soar into the sky. Then, the devouring power on its body condensed into a pitch-black Phantom Dragon Tooth and once again descended from the sky!
"It's useless!"
Gu Tifeng sneered. The Ancient Rock Dragon suddenly let out a resounding dragon roar towards the sky. The sound wave actually shook Kang Shin-mu's Phantom Dragon Tooth, causing it to tilt and not land on his body.
This sound wave attack dragon martial skill caused many spectators to exclaim in admiration.
"Look, this Kang Shin-mu isn't Gu Tifeng's opponent at all. The disparity is too great."
"That's right. A dragon roar was enough to make his attack deviate, rendering it ineffective. It's impossible for him to defeat Gu Tifeng."
In the direction of the Xi Clan's residence, Xi Yuying was also frowning. She had a better understanding of Kang Shin-mu, but she still couldn't think of a way to defeat a stubborn opponent like Gu Tifeng.
"Again!"
Kang Shin-mu wasn't discouraged. He continued to use his talent power to condense the Phantom Dragon Tooth Transformation. Sharp attacks rained down from the sky.
The Ancient Rock Dragon roared and directly broke through the countless Phantom Dragon Teeth, completely ignoring their destructive power. Although there were some cracks on the Ancient Rock Dragon's defensive barrier, it didn't care at all. With a thought, he used his talent power to condense it again, becoming indestructible.
Kang Shin-mu's talent power had devoured a bit of Gu Tifeng's power, but it wasn't much to Gu Tifeng. At the very least, Gu Tifeng would have to devour a hundred times more power before he would feel anything.
Puff, puff!
The Ancient Rock Dragon's claws grabbed the black dragon that Kang Shin-mu had transformed into. Then, with great force, it threw Kang Shin-mu to the ground. Both sides weren't on the same level. After all, there was a gap in their cultivation.
Kang Shin-mu was thrown to the ground, but he didn't suffer any injuries. He just looked a little ugly.
The surface of his divine dragon body flickered with a golden light. The Heavenly Saint's Halberd turned into a giant halberd and fiercely struck at the Ancient Rock Dragon!
"Break!"
Gu Tifeng roared and charged at the black dragon on the ground, directly smashing through the halberd's halberd light!
However, from the light of the Heavenly Saint's Halberd, countless pitch-black Shadow Dragon Fangs burst out and shattered in an instant. Caught off guard, the Ancient Rock Dragon was covered in fangs.
The Heavenly Saint's Halberd and Phantom Dragon Teeth's double attack, the latter coming so suddenly that it caught Gu Tifeng off guard. Finally, the Ancient Rock Dragon's defense started to weaken.
"Void Piercing Dragon Shadow!"
"Heavenly Saint's Halberd!"
"Phantom Dragon Teeth!"
Kang Shin-mu took the opportunity to once again burst out with his strongest attack. Under the continuous attacks, a part of the Ancient Rock Dragon's defense finally broke.
When the other party's innate energy surged out and continued to condense into a defensive barrier, Kang Shin-mu's devouring power had already arrived, rapidly devouring the innate energy.
Both sides specialized in body tempering dragon martial skills. Their divine dragon bodies were very tough and not easy to defeat.
But Kang Shin-mu had the advantage of devouring power!
The other party's defense was strong, but Kang Shin-mu's attacks weren't weak either. With the Heavenly Saint's Halberd and a Grade 3 dragon martial skill, even if the first attack didn't work, a few more attacks would be enough to break the other party's defense.
Even if he couldn't injure the other party, it didn't matter as long as the other party used their innate energy to replenish their defense.
As long as Kang Shin-mu could devour the other party's innate energy, he would be able to replenish his exhausted energy. In this way, he would be able to gradually turn the situation around. As long as he continued to devour the other party's innate energy, it would be impossible for him to be the first one to exhaust his energy!
This was a brutal melee, but it was also a battle of attrition.
