Chen An's communication with the current King of Law in front of him was quite pleasant.
Their attitudes were very similar and both belonged to the category of calm individuals.
Chen An felt a familiar aura from the current King of Law.
The cautious and deadly style, which struck when you were most vulnerable, gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Yes, it was just like him.
In the past, Chen An had been like this too, using these tactics to outwit many opponents.
And now, it was his turn.
Truly, talents emerged in each generation, and each generation was stronger than the last.
Chen An sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say.
"Chen Wang, as an elder, please make the first move."
Across from him, the King of Law folded his hands together, showing a respectful demeanor.
You also know that I am an elder.
Chen An glanced at the King of Law in front of him but did not refuse.
For them, these formalities didn't mean much.
In the end, it was still about how they fought.
At the highest peak, the two innate warriors began their battle.
Compared to the spiritual energy, the biggest difference of the innate warriors was their ability to harness the external innate power.
This harnessing was not a direct utilization but rather a manipulation of the innate power within themselves, which then influenced the external world, leveraging their own strength to unleash an even greater force.
Compared to spiritual energy, this advantage was quite obvious.
After all, one could only use their own power while the other could also manipulate various forms of external energy besides their own.
Not to mention that the innate power of the innate warrior alone was enough to crush all spiritual energy.
This was why spiritual energy couldn't compete with the innate power.
They were simply not on the same level.
But if two innate warriors were to fight?
Then the situation would be quite spectacular.
At that moment, people were horrified to find that the spiritual energy around them was vibrating, and shocking energy was erupting from it.
The result of the two innate warriors' battle was extremely terrifying.
As their figures intertwined, the surrounding forces were also mobilized, colliding under the tug of these two different forces.
The terrifying force shook the surroundings, making it difficult to distinguish between the two.
Even from a superficial perspective, Chen An seemed to have a slight advantage.
This was the result of accumulated experience.
Compared to the King of Law in front of him, Chen An had advanced earlier in the innate realm and had been immersed in it for many years, thus his cultivation was deeper.
It was normal for him to have the upper hand in a short period.
But the King of Law remained calm and composed, responding slowly.
The accumulation of time brought not only profound experience but also deadly tactics.
Strong power burst forth, sealing off the space, and fierce attacks caused huge cracks in the ground beneath their feet.
The earth shook, and everything around was in turmoil.
The battle between the two shook the entire mountain peak, almost tearing it apart!
This scene left people stunned and some could not believe their eyes.
Were these really martial practitioners?
The shaking earth and crumbling mountains transformed the desolate scene into a chaotic and new landscape.
Even the ground beneath their feet no longer seemed safe.
But the two paid no attention, fighting relentlessly.
Slowly, they ascended into the air, engaged in combat.
"That is..."
The people around were once again astonished.
They could fly!
Indeed, the innate could fly.
Strictly speaking, it was more like levitating rather than flying.
The innate could harness the energy of the heavens and earth, temporarily enhancing themselves and achieving suspension.
Compared to actual flight, this levitation still had a long way to go.
That's why both the King of Law and Chen An rarely used it.
In terms of practicality, Chen An believed that this ability had more effect in displaying one's prowess and belonged to the kind of superficial power at the innate level.
But for now, the greatest use of this ability was to ensure that they wouldn't accidentally fall to their death in such precarious terrain.
Boom!
A deafening sound echoed from the mountain peak.
After a brief clash, they finally approached each other, starting a more intense battle.
A silver-white long knife was drawn out of nowhere and swiftly slashed forward.
With the powerful energy of the innate exploding, it seemed as if the knife intended to cleave the mountain in front of it.
In the eruption of the innate power, a piece of the mountain top directly leveled, and rubble continuously fell to the ground.
However, at this point, the situation started to change dramatically.
Chen An gradually fell into a disadvantage, losing the upper hand.
He was not surprised by this.
After all, he was an old man.
The innate spiritual energy was a combination of spiritual energy and the innate energy within the body. As the body weakened, the innate energy within decreased, weakening the spiritual energy.
And the weakening on the body itself was even more terrible.
In all these aspects, Chen An could not compare to the King of Law in front of him.
After all, the King of Law was a young man, strong and at his peak, both in spiritual energy and physical strength.
In the short term, Chen An could suppress him with his cultivation, but in the long run, the outcome was quite clear.
He began to fall into a disadvantage, seeming like he was about to be defeated.
Seemingly realizing this, the King of Law's methods began to become more ruthless.
His movements became faster and fiercer.
The fierce energy kept erupting, shrouding the whole mountain wilderness.
The people outside could no longer gaze into the situation, even the spiritual energy couldn't penetrate.
Because the battle between the two innate warriors had already disrupted the energy flow and made it impossible to observe.
But just thinking about it logically, Chen An's situation must have been very difficult.
A silver-white long knife descended quickly, trying to take advantage of the opportunity, but the King of Law was once again prepared and evaded.
Chen An fell silent.
He realized something.
In a way, the King of Law in front of him followed a similar path, but his fighting style was much more insidious.
Chen An only picked on the weaker opponents, but his methods were still straightforward.
On the other hand, the King of Law didn't adhere to any principles, taking advantage of any opportunity.
This hit-and-run style was too underhanded.
Unfortunately, Chen An had no solution.
If he was younger, it would have been easier. He could simply rely on his stronger cultivation and spiritual energy to overpower the enemy, regardless of how sneaky their tactics were.
But not anymore.
After all, he was old.
Chen An sighed.
The effects of time were quite evident on him.
In the past, he could easily break through an opponent's spiritual energy with a single strike and had a sharp reaction to avoid the enemy's attacks.
But now, he was unable to do so.
While his knife skills remained sharp, his movements had slowed down.
Although his innate energy was powerful, it wasn't as strong as before, certainly not as potent as the young man in front of him.
Everything he excelled at seemed to be deteriorating gradually due to aging, completely overshadowed by his opponent.
For a martial practitioner, this was a great tragedy.
And for Chen An, aside from the sadness, it was also distressing.
"Chen Wang, accept your fate."
In front of him, the King of Law sighed lightly, saying, "Your old age and declining strength make you no longer my match."
"You are a great man of Da Hua, and although you have served Da Hua several times, you owe nothing to Da Hua anymore. Why not end the war here, peacefully retire in my Kingdom of Jin, and no longer interfere in external affairs, alright?"
Seeing Chen An's miserable state, he seemed to feel some compassion, not wanting to see a hero of his generation die at his hands because of the conflict between their nations.
Unfortunately, as he spoke, he continued his assault, trying to distract Chen An and take advantage of the situation.
It seemed that his words were more of a diversion tactic to facilitate his aggression.
"I understand."
After a move, Chen An suddenly stopped and let out a long sigh, "King of Law, your words are reasonable. I am willing to end the war, no longer involve myself in the affairs of Da Hua, and retire peacefully from now on."
"Hmm?"
The King of Law was stunned, almost unable to contain his surprise at Chen An's unexpected words.
But he quickly regained his composure, and a smile appeared on his face, full of joy, "Then it couldn't be better."
He seemed genuinely happy and quickly approached Chen An, as if wanting to assist him.
To Chen An's unexpected move, an unforeseen event occurred.
In a short distance ahead, a powerful fist suddenly emerged and struck Chen An's chest.
Looking up, the King of Law still wore a smile on his face, seemingly pleased as before.
But his actions didn't match his expression at all.
Smiling on the face while striking, this gross violation of martial ethics made one wonder how the previous King of Law had raised such a disciple.
"Chen Wang, my apologies."
As his fist pierced through Chen An's chest, breaking through his protective spiritual energy, the King of Law finally revealed a remorseful expression, apologizing, "You are too powerful, and your prestige is too high. If you don't die, the Kingdom of Hua and the Kingdom of Song will not easily submit."
"For the great cause of unification, I can only inconvenience you."
He let out a long sigh, with a compassionate expression, seeming truly concerned about his actions.
Yes, he had the air of a high and mighty monk.
Although his recent actions were dishonorable and far from the appearance of a virtuous monk.
After a successful strike, the King of Law initially appeared deeply concerned and composed.
In his view, the battle was over.
The innate might be strong, but there were limits.
The spiritual energy was also vulnerable and could die when severely injured.
And now, with Chen An's condition and injuries, even with his innatpower, there was little hope of survival.
Furthermore, given Chen An's age, even if he hadn't received those injuries, he would have likely exhausted himself by now.
Viewed from any angle, there seemed to be no need to continue the fight.
But slowly, the King of Law realized something was wrong.
After his sneak attack, Chen An remained calm and stood there as if nothing had happened, completely unbothered.
What's going on?
The King of Law was taken aback.
After being attacked unexpectedly, Chen An should have been at least angry, right?
Why was he so calm? And he didn't even say anything.
Even when you are on the brink of death, shouldn't you say a few harsh words?
He had even prepared some lines, waiting for Chen An to speak.
Chen An, of course, had no idea what was going on in the King of Law's mind.
At that moment, he just stood there, calmly looking at the King of Law, "It's okay, no need to feel sorry."
"It's a pity for you, so young, and yet you have to bury yourself with an old man."
What?
The King of Law was taken aback.
Before he could react, a sense of extreme danger suddenly arose in him.
He would die, he would die.
The King of Law's face instantly changed.
Since the start of the battle until now, he had not felt a strong threat, even when he was at a disadvantage. Although uncomfortable, he was not worried.
But now, that fatal feeling finally arose.
If he did not avoid the next blow, he would really die.
Realizing this, he subconsciously tried to retreat and leave the area.
But it was too late.
One of his hands, which had pierced Chen An's chest, had become a weakness and was now firmly locked by Chen An, preventing him from escaping.
In the King of Law's eyes, Chen An remained calm, with a quiet resolve on his face as he swung a palm.
As the palm struck, the profound ice spiritual energy surged forth, an overwhelming aura erupted, bursting forth in an instant.
Seemingly drawn by Chen An's spiritual energy, the elemental energy from all directions surged, and the power of heaven and earth was mobilized, coming together in a display of unprecedented and terrifying power.
Frozen Wasteland!
Chen An's communication with the current King of Law in front of him was quite pleasant.
Their attitudes were very similar and both belonged to the category of calm individuals.
