Instantly, he also mobilized his spiritual energy to repair his finger bones, and his heart held Jin Bao'er in greater regard!
"To be able to do this at the sixth stage of Heavenly Dao Saint cultivation is quite good! But... not outstanding!"
From his tone, one could discern his admiration, but it was merely the praise of a strong individual towards a weaker one!
How could Jin Bao'er not understand! But she wasn't angry, after all, she wasn't qualified enough at the moment! The opponent was too strong, and this single blow was enough for her to see her shortcomings...
Strength, she still lacked enough! This was not just a matter of cultivation level; she could feel that this was not her limit! She needed to break through!
Cultivation, her promotion speed was actually very fast, so fast that no one in the entire Upper Realm could match it! One must know that the youngest person to be ranked first on the Divine Being Ranking and be a Heavenly Dao Saint was Gong Jue Mi Yin! And he was already over sixty years old at that time!
Jin Bao'er looked at the other party, her gaze firm!
"Again!"
As she spoke, she charged forward again, her punch as fast as lightning! Aiming at the handsome monk's right hand! Her fist was coated with a layer of pinkish-white spiritual energy, exuding a powerful and cold aura!
Chi Tong sensed her intention, quickly withdrew his right hand, grabbed her arm with his left, flicked her away with a backhand, and then smashed her hard onto the ground...
"Bang bang bang!"
As if flicking a whip, he violently slammed Jin Bao'er onto the ground, then yanked her up and smashed her down again, repeating this seven or eight times, showing no hint of gentleness.
Jin Bao'er's attack missed, and she was instead restrained by the opponent. She was smashed into human-shaped craters on the ground, her entire body in agony. The large hand on her arm felt like heavy pliers, gripping her tightly!
The pain made her mind clearer. Her left hand, which had been free, instinctively formed a blade without conscious effort. The eighth time Chi Tong yanked her up, she fiercely stabbed towards his right hand...
Chi Tong reacted swiftly, letting go instantly and throwing Jin Bao'er directly out!
Her body airborne, Jin Bao'er ignored her current disheveled state, quickly turned, and landed steadily. However, her body was already covered in dust and grass clippings, and her light blue clothes were now stained with several patches of dirt.
Just as Chi Tong thought she would surrender, that disheveled figure pounced again. This time, however, her method was not a direct attack like before. Instead, after a feint, she directly kicked at his legs with great force!
With such power, let alone a monk, even an ordinary man would not be able to withstand it. Chi Tong's expression changed, showing a look of shock for the first time. His counter-attack faltered for a moment. Jin Bao'er seized the opportunity, her left fist shot out, and she forcefully struck his right eye!
A purple-blue bruise was immediately left on Chi Tong's eye socket...
After landing the blow, she swiftly retreated without lingering, a hint of proud laughter now appearing on her disheveled face.
"Tit for tat! All's fair in war! Master Chi Tong, you won't be angry, will you?"
The usually proud white-robed monk's face darkened, and he stared at her with angry eyes, muttering to himself...
Jin Bao'er listened carefully, her expression somewhat surprised... After reacting, she realized the other party seemed to be... chanting a calming mantra?!
A few seconds later, Chi Tong's expression returned to normal, and he let out a cold snort at Jin Bao'er!
"Fairy is indeed clever. In terms of a contest of strength, you win!"
Although he was displeased, he had to admit that if the other party had been holding a weapon, her left fist could have easily turned into a blade and severed his head! Although he hadn't used his full strength, a loss was still a loss!
In close combat, she was not his match, but in terms of spiritual energy, the opponent was definitely no match for him! After all, the actual gap was there... No matter how talented Jin Bao'er was, she couldn't defeat him by two major cultivation levels.
Hearing the opponent's concession, Jin Bao'er was not surprised, but her interest was fully piqued, and she said enthusiastically instead!
"Next, we'll compete in spiritual energy!"
Chi Tong thought she would refuse, but he didn't expect her to bring it up again. His brow furrowed slightly.
"Fairy, please don't be like this!"
Spiritual energy combat was different from physical strength. One careless mistake could truly injure or even kill the opponent. They were just sparring, not real enemies. Moreover, if the Buddha Son saw the other party injured, he would likely be very angry.
He thought Jin Bao'er was too complacent after winning the strength contest, and although displeased, he patiently explained!
Seeing his concern, Jin Bao'er understood his reservations. However, she was more eager to know how strong a Heavenly Dao Emperor truly was!
"I know my own strength. I just want to get a rough idea of how far I am from a Heavenly Dao Emperor! It's just sparring. Are you, Master Chi Tong, not confident in your control of spiritual energy?"
The last sentence had a clear provocative tone. Chi Tong instinctively pursed his lips, his eyes showing a hint of impatience!
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he finished speaking, he directly waved his hand, sending a pure white spiritual energy towards Jin Bao'er's shoulder. It was powerful in terms of strength, but also extremely perfunctory!
Jin Bao'er was not annoyed. She directly waved her hand, dispersing the spiritual energy. With her other hand, she drew strokes in the air, her fingertips exuding spiritual energy! Her seemingly casual movements, unnoticed, caused the clouds in the sky to churn, and mist began to fall. The moisture in the air instantly condensed into ice...
Chi Tong initially didn't pay much attention. Upper Realm cultivators focused more on cultivation levels and were not strong in controlling spiritual energy transformations. He had heard that Jin Bao'er could control water to form ice blades! But he wasn't afraid of those hundreds of ice blades!
"Fairy, you should still surrender! This spiritual energy contest is meaningless. I already..." Too lazy to compete with you!
The last few words hadn't left his mouth when streaks of cold light erupted behind him, the bone-chilling cold and danger forcing him to stand still, unable to move.
Chi Tong's expression stiffened. He stood frozen on the spot. On the other side, which he couldn't see, it was completely covered by ice blades, their tips aimed at every part of his body. If he moved even slightly, those ice shards mixed with cold light would pierce his body...
All the ice blades hung suspended in the air, motionless. If it weren't for the cold energy piercing through his clothes and stimulating his skin, he wouldn't have noticed at all! When did the other party condense so many ice blades? And the spiritual energy attached to them was not pure spiritual energy, and they could appear behind him so silently!
This was impossible! With his divine sense and acuity, how could he not sense something flying towards him?
"This... how is this possible? You... how did you do it?"
At this moment, Chi Tong's eyes were wide with disbelief, his body stiff, his thin lips pale! His face was filled with incredulity, and even his speech was somewhat incoherent!
Jin Bao'er looked at him, not doubting for a moment that the other party could instantly break her ice blades! Seeing that Chi Tong wasn't resisting, she lost the will to continue. With a gentle wave of her right hand, the dense array of ice blades instantly slashed towards the sky...
