The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King Chapter 1074 1073: Governor Zhou

Han Feng had only fought with the Grass Gu Granny once, but that ti the opponent was far too weak, and they were simply not on the sa level.

Today is different.

He knows very well that the woman before him is anything but ordinary, able to refine grass gu and control it remotely from a distance, enough to rank her among the experts in Miaojiang.

Almost as his words fell, suddenly a thick mist escaped from the woman's body, hovering densely around her without dispersing.

Luo Chao was startled, seeing the wild grass within a few ters around her center quickly wither, turning charred black in an instant.

No wonder she's the leader of the Red Scorpions, the planner of those multiple assassinations; despite her own powerful strength, she never shows the slightest complacency.

This is defense!

She's using Gu Poison Technique to lay down a deadly zone around herself, ensuring she remains undefeated - at least, that's what she believes.

"Die!"

The woman let out a low growl, and suddenly three streaks of mist in green, purple, and black flew toward Luo Chao like lightning, at an incredibly fast speed.

Poison?

Gu?

That's not important.

The important thing is, regardless if these mists are poison or gu, they absolutely cannot be touched; even Luo Chao would die instantly if contact is made.

The Power of Wind exploded swiftly within him, enhancing Luo Chao's speed to its limit, while dodging the three streaks of mist, the soft sword was already in his right hand.

Charge!

Shunning the incoming Gu Poison, his figure flashed like lightning, rapidly closing in on the seductive woman.

What's going on?

One must understand, the area around the woman is filled with lethal toxins, covering a range of several ters, and with this tactic she can stand undefeated: because she can attack you, but you cannot approach her, otherwise you'd be knocked down by the toxins instantly - given this, how dare Luo Chao get close?

The woman was amazed by Luo Chao's actions, unable to comprehend where this young man found the audacity to approach, clearly a path seeking death!

Suddenly, she witnessed a bizarre scene.

On Luo Chao's body surface, there flowed a barely visible earthy yellow stream, unlike the inner qi she was familiar with, an energy form she's never seen before.

That's right, precisely the Power of Earth!

What is the principle of Power of Earth's defense enhancent?

It's not essentially hardening Luo Chao's skin or muscles, but covering a layer of defensive energy outside his body.

In other words, once Luo Chao activates the Power of Earth defense, his body becos isolated from the outside world, except...

Not the sa as when he faced an Eighth Grade expert last ti.

While confronting the Eighth Grade expert, he only applied the Power of Earth's defense to the parts contending with the opponent, naly the punching fist.

And now?

Within the enemy's all-encompassing toxic mist, once he's in close proximity, every part of Luo Chao's body will be within the toxin range, hence he must isolate every inch of himself from external exposure using the Power of Earth.

This brings two issues!

Firstly, the Power of Earth consumption will be substantial, barely adequate for defense, yet unable to enhance attack power further, given the limited capacity of using Power of Earth in a unit ti, resulting in a lack of attack amplification and hindering his combat performance to its full extent.

Secondly, the Power of Earth isolates itself from the outside world, implying that during the isolation process, he won't be able to breathe external air.

Which ans, prolonged isolation leads to Luo Chao experiencing oxygen scarcity and suffocation.

Of course, with Luo Chao's ability, even amid intense combat and faster oxygen consumption than normal, he can hold his breath for two to three minutes.

Here it cos!

Here it cos!

The woman watched wide-eyed as Luo Chao managed to attack with a soft sword, charging into the poisonous barrier she released—is he committing suicide?

Obviously not.

The soft sword was surrounded by pale blue inner qi, powerful enough to cut through gold and break jade!

Ding...

At the critical mont, a crescent-shaped Miao Blade suddenly appeared in the woman's hand, fiercely clashing against the soft sword.

Weapon collision, sparks flew.

Initially, with Luo Chao's Martial Dao Sixth Grade cultivation, plus the shredding augntation from Power of Wind, and the strength enhancent from Power of Earth, the combined combat power exceeded Seventh Grade but less than Eighth Grade. But when the Power of Earth was entirely used for toxin isolation, it could no longer offer strength amplification.

At this mont his actual combat power was akin to Martial Dao Seventh Grade.

The Miao Blade wielded imnse force!

Luo Chao felt his tiger's mouth go numb, secretly astonished in his heart.

This woman...

Her cultivation unexpectedly reached the peak of Seventh Grade, just a step away from Eighth Grade.

It should be known, in Miaojiang won refine gu and n practice martial arts distinctly, the Grass Gu Granny's martial arts cultivation is typically ordinary, a Grass Gu Granny reaching the peak of Seventh Grade in Miaojiang is certainly rare; likewise, the Grass Gu Granny is proficient in poison and gu, her combat power cannot be exclusively asured by martial arts.

It's for sure, with this woman's peak Seventh Grade cultivation, combined with Gu Technique and Poison Techniques, even ordinary Eighth Grade martial artists would struggle to match her.

Her ability to form defense through poison techniques alone, in battles against martial artists other than Luo Chao, almost guarantees her unbeatable status.

Luckily, Luo Chao's unique ability can use Power of Earth for isolation.

However, this also ans, his Power of Earth can't be used for attack enhancent, leaving his combat power only equivalent to Seventh Grade Middle Tier—the woman's strength is slightly superior by half a point!

But don't forget, although the Power of Earth isn't for attack, it precisely serves as defense now, a capability the opponent does not possess.

"Kill!"

Relying on the isolation functionality of Power of Earth, neither poison nor gu can threaten Luo Chao, they are all forcibly kept out.

Pushed back three steps by the Miao Blade, he sprang into the air and struck down with the sword again, using free fall dynamics greater than before.

The woman was taken aback.

She simply couldn't understand, the opponent clearly entered the toxic mist area, why didn't he get poisoned?

But now's not the ti to think about the reason, especially since she already noticed the opponent's combat power was slightly weaker than hers, even with ineffective poison techniques she was sure he was bound to lose.

Various sounds echoed endlessly.

The soft sword and Miao Blade collided, producing crisp ringing sounds that pierced the eardrums.

The punch and kick confrontation yielded deep gas explosion sounds.

The action of force is mutual.

Unless both parties have drastically disparate cultivation levels, in close gaps, the counter-shock force injures both parties, though the stronger side experiences lesser counter-shock, but one point is critical: the seductive woman receives direct counter-shock on her body, whereas Luo Chao's counter-shock is blocked by Power of Earth—this is the significant practical use of Power of Earth defense.

Boom!

The woman's breath is uneven, face pale, after two minutes of close combat, she retreated several steps with shock written all over as she looked at Luo Chao.

How is this possible?

Her cultivation clearly surpassed his by half a point, during sustained combat he should be at a disadvantage, but the reality is... he's unscathed.

Situation turned drastically!

Starting from Luo Chao being at a disadvantage, gradually he began to gain the upper hand.

Not good!

Just as Luo Chao prepared to abuse the fallen dog, he suddenly felt the dizziness from oxygen depletion, quickly retreating from the toxic mist.

He promptly withdrew the Power of Earth covering his head, taking big gulps of fresh air, then charged at the opponent again.

"He is..."

Even a woman Luo Chao considers smart couldn't miss so hints?

Due to Luo Chao's retreat, she, who had been at a disadvantage, had a chance to catch her breath, her prior disadvantage visibly improved, as she picked up the Miao Blade and charged at Luo Chao...
