I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 188: Who Is the Prey? (II)

It was as if an ordinary person had been struck by a hammer three times in a row. Lu Zhenshan’s body, both internally and externally, had suffered a powerful blow and was severely injured.

“I injured him in just one round!” Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up.

He had underestimated the lethality of the strength-based internal force. Not everyone had the same recovery ability as him.

The internal force protection was the most important defense in the warrior realm. Once the protective internal force showed signs of breaking, the body would not be able to withstand it for long.

Just as Chen Yiming was preparing for the next round of attacks with another set of nine swords, within a range of 10 kilometers of the island, the sky began to change color. A large amount of water vapor suddenly condensed in the air, gradually turning into a thick mist that blocked out one’s vision.

In just a few seconds, a thick mist that covered an area of 10 kilometers had formed, hiding Mist Island from the sea.

“What!”

Following the aftermath of Chen Yiming and Lu Zhenshan’s fight, the people who had already escaped from the island gasped.

Some of these people were on ships, and some were standing on the surface of the sea, watching the battle at the peak of the warrior realm.

They could clearly see the thick mist gradually covering a large area on the sea. It was precisely because of this that everyone panicked.

“What’s going on?”

“Why can’t we see Mist Island any more?”

“How would I know why?”

“Has such a thing happened before?”

…

The range of the mist was already on the same level as the range of a natural disaster. Everyone hurriedly retreated another 10 kilometers and gathered again to discuss the changes on the island.

An internal force master!

Soon, they thought about the strongest type of martial artists among the humans.

This was the realm at the peak of human martial arts on the blue planet. They came and went without a trace. It was impossible to know how many people there were without reaching the same level.

Everyone only knew that only an internal force master was the only one who could truly resolve the super-large beast tide that the otherworld had launched against the blue planet.

When they thought about the origin of the name “Mist Island”, a bad feeling surfaced in their minds.

“Could it be that the willow tree king has broken through to the master realm?”

This guess was not baseless.

The human factions would harvest the willow tree cores on the island every three years and attack the willow tree king every nine years.

At the same time, in order to allow the island to produce a steady supply of willow tree cores, only a small number of willow trees died during each harvest. Most of the willow trees only had their cores removed.

All the willow trees on the island would have to recover after being attacked time and time again.

The harvesting operation of humans had the effect of helping the willow trees to decide to shed their old shells and start over. This could actually help the trees break through to the next cultivation level.

“I didn’t expect this day to come so soon!”

Someone sighed.

The willow tree cores were a type of poison that the human factions had no choice but to consume. Even though everyone knew that sooner or later, Mist Island would give rise to an existence that could not be suppressed,

the problems that might appear in the future would naturally be resolved by the people in the future. This was what most people thought.

On Mist Island, “The willow tree king actually broke through to the next level!”

Other than Chen Yiming, the people still on the island instantly understood what was going on from the range of the mist.

The internal force masters had the ability to use the power outside their own bodies for themselves.

This power was the power of nature that drifted between heaven and earth.

Otherwise, it was impossible for one to change the weather with just his own internal force.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Chen Yiming and the others relied on their own abilities to escape from the thick mist.

Other than Chen Yiming, who didn’t know the seriousness of the matter, everyone’s faces were filled with fear. This was the reverence they had for the power of nature.

The improvement from the third stage of the warrior realm to the master realm was countless times greater than that from an ordinary person to the third stage of the warrior realm.

No matter how many people there were in the warrior realm, they were still not a match for a master.

Suddenly, “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The three swords formed from the strength-based internal force stabbed into the ground in front of Lu Zhenshan, forcing him to come to a stop and circle around them.

“What exactly is happening here?”

A slightly immature male voice echoed in Lu Zhenshan’s ears.

This voice belonged to Chen Yiming. It sounded like the voice of a demon, and the fear on Lu Zhenshan’s face intensified.

“The willow tree king has broken through. Run!”

Lu Zhenshan was afraid that the masked man would continue to pester him, so he told him the truth.

The short pause he had made earlier had greatly reduced his chances of escaping the mist.

As expected.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Dozens of tree roots shot out of the mist, half of them aiming at Lu Zhenshan and the other half at Chen Yiming.

These tree roots had already turned from a faint golden color to a solid golden color. Previously, the willow tree king had been putting on an act to lure the humans led by Ye Jianyuan from the Myriad Phenomena Sect to the center of the island.

Run!

The nine swords above Chen Yiming’s head shot out to block the tree roots that were coming at him.

At the same time, his figure flashed and he disappeared into the thick mist.

Faced with the threat of death, how could he still be bothered to conceal his identity? The black fog internal force instantly covered an area of about 10 meters, and his figure turned into a small black cloud that moved towards the sea.

This wasn’t because Chen Yiming couldn’t cover a larger area, but because he was afraid that he would attract too much attention and cause the willow tree king to focus on him.

“Crack!”

The sound of rocks exploding came from behind him. The nine swords formed by the strength-based internal force had undoubtedly been shattered by the tree roots.

This was the first time Chen Yiming had seen his strength-based internal force being destroyed. Those at the master realm were indeed terrifying and he could not provoke them for the time being.

Not far away, Lu Zhenshan was feeling terrible.

At this moment, he did not dare to pay any attention to the new tricks the masked man had just used.

“Damn it!”

Facing the tree roots that were coming after him, Lu Zhenshan cursed. He released four consecutive punches with his internal force.

After that, he endured his internal injuries and fled towards the nearest shore without looking back.

After this battle, if he was still alive, the masked man would be Lu Zhenshan’s mortal enemy. This grudge was far beyond what the masked man had achieved by killing the four court heads of the Kunshan Sect.

In contrast to Lu Zhenshan’s state, after running for a distance, Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief.

He realized that although the willow tree king would determine his location from where he made contact with the thick mist, then send out tree roots to go after him.

However, even the willow tree king couldn’t accurately control such a large area of mist especially after the mist had left its body. Chen Yiming could use the black fog to disperse the thick mist.

This way, even though the willow tree king could still locate the black fog, with a buffer of about 10 meters, Chen Yiming could easily avoid the pursuit of dozens of tree roots.

At the same time, several battles broke out on the island.

The way Ye Jianyuan, the head of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, dealt with the situation was exactly the same as Chen Yiming.

However, because he was too close to the willow tree king, he was facing the pursuit of hundreds of tree roots and willow branches.

“I was too careless this time!”

Even with the black fog confusing the willow tree king and hiding his body’s true location, Ye Jianyuan was still in danger. Not only were his clothes tattered, but there were also many bloodstains on his body. Clearly, he had suffered serious injuries.

For someone at the master realm, even when facing a warrior at the peak of the warrior realm, the protective internal force was not much different from paper. Once one was caught by the tree roots and willow branches, there was no chance of survival.

At this moment, the sect master of the Jiyang Sect, Wei Tianlong, had turned into a ball of raging flames, like a phoenix bathed in flames.

Along the way, other than the willow tree king’s roots and willow branches, all the other mutant plants spontaneously combusted. The ground was charred, and the thick mist condensed into raindrops under the high temperature.

However, the high temperature could only affect an area of dozens of meters. This range was too small for the thick mist that covered a distance of 10 kilometers.

“I can’t accept this!”

Wei Tianlong let out a furious roar. As he fled, he fought the willow tree king’s roots and willow branches.

Although the Jiyang Sect’s cultivation technique was known for its powerful head-on combat strength, it was far from enough to deal with someone at the master realm.

Whether it was his powerful body or the scorching flames, in front of the willow tree king who was at the master realm, he was like a child facing an adult.

In addition, their positions were similar to Ye Jianyuan’s. They were both near the willow tree king’s area, and the attacks from the willow tree king were much more concentrated than those aimed at Chen Yiming and Lu Zhenshan.

Before long, the battle in the scorched land had ended.

The scorched earth was still nearly a kilometer away from the sea, and he was still far from escaping the range of the willow tree king’s pursuit. Wei Tianlong was extremely strong in a head-on battle at the same level, but he was the one who had died the fastest.
