Chapter 85

Staring at the three talismans in Ren Tianxing's hand, Qianzhisou had a look of bewilderment on his face.

And Kuangnu, who had never taken action before, suddenly had his eyes widen upon seeing the three talismans. He still remembered clearly that the small figure that day used something similar, not only severely injuring him but also taking away his weapon.

"Roar!"

A roar suddenly echoed, and Kuangnu, like a mad lion, had his fighting aura surge out wildly, and the overwhelming killing intent spread without restraint.

Ren Tianxing's heart trembled, and he dared not delay for a moment. The talisman in his palm was already activated.

Ren Tianxing disappeared, and so did his master Yexingsou. To be precise, the two had become invisible.

"Boom!"

Kuangnu's punch hit the spot where Ren Tianxing had just disappeared. The powerful fighting aura not only created a terrifying large pit on the ground but also caused sand and stones to fly around.

What a domineering punch, what a swift attack.

"Do not kill them, leave them alive!"

Qianzhisou, who had just reacted, was greatly alarmed. He never expected that the helper he had invited would suddenly attack, and from the start, it was a killing move. Could it be that they had some grudge?

Regardless of the reason, before obtaining the upper-level cultivation method, he would not allow Yexingsou to die.

Kuangnu had already gone berserk and completely ignored Qianzhisou's warning, continuing to attack like a storm.

Although he could not see Ren Tianxing and Yexingsou, nor sense their presence, he could attack in a large area. By following the blood on the ground, he could determine the center of the attack.

The chains wrapped around his arms, like two dragons, circled in all directions from Kuangnu, leaving no blind spots. Any trees or rocks they touched instantly shattered.

With a muffled sound, Yexingsou was thrown out, rolling a long distance on the muddy ground.

"Master!"

A call came from Ren Tianxing nearby.

Just now, Ren Tianxing had narrowly avoided being hit by the chain. It was his master who, in a moment of crisis, had taken the hit for him.

Yexingsou's face was as white as paper, his breath weak, and he lay on the ground without any movement.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you to leave them alive!" Qianzhisou was furious.

Kuangnu ignored him, his arm trembling, and the chain struck the motionless Yexingsou again.

"Stop it!"

Ren Tianxing roared in anguish, and the second talisman was already activated...

Dong Xiuze sat on a rock, catching his breath. After the recent battle, he had finally subdued the mysterious Shadow Five.

It was not an exaggeration to say he was peculiar. During the battle, Dong Xiuze discovered that Shadow Five could not only change his appearance at will but also hide his body in shadows.

"Continuing from where we left off, you said there are four major types of fighting aura. What are they?" Dong Xiuze asked with interest, staring at Liu Hong.

Liu Hong, who had not yet calmed down, was even more curious about Dong Xiuze after the battle.

This little brat, how many more strange and unusual techniques does he have?

Glancing at the unconscious Shadow Five tied to a tree, Liu Hong asked with some concern, "Is it really okay to tie him up like this?"

Shrugging, Dong Xiuze said indifferently, "If he can break free, that's his ability."

Liu Hong's gaze fell on the talismans on Shadow Five's body, her curiosity growing. Could these mere pieces of paper bind a human weapon cultivated by the "Lixiao Organization"?

Glancing at the somewhat impatient Dong Xiuze, Liu Hong quickly ended the digression and continued, "In the past hundred years, people have summarized and divided fighting aura into four major categories."

Sitting up straight, Dong Xiuze waited for Liu Hong to continue, as he was very interested in this topic.

Liu Hong continued, "These four categories are: Elemental, Biological, Enhancement, and Special!"

"Oh?" Dong Xiuze's eyes brightened, and he asked, "What are the differences?"

"Yes, they have significant differences!" After a pause, Liu Hong continued, "As far as I know, the 'Blazing Flame Fighting Aura' used by your father belongs to the Elemental category. Similarly, the fighting aura of the Wang Chao sister you know also belongs to the Elemental category."

With Liu Hong's example, Dong Xiuze immediately understood what the Elemental category was. In simple terms, it was very similar to elemental magic.

"Right, what category does this guy, Shadow Five, belong to?" Glancing at the bound man, Dong Xiuze asked curiously.

"Should belong to the Special category!" Liu Hong thought for a moment and said.

"Indeed, it is quite special," Dong Xiuze smiled, a slight curve on his lips. "Not only can he change his appearance at will, but he can also hide in shadows. If it's not special, then what is?"

Liu Hong rolled her eyes at Dong Xiuze. Although this statement was somewhat one-sided, it was not without reason.

"Right, what category does the Kuangnu who fought you belong to?" Thinking of the guy who almost injured her, Dong Xiuze asked curiously.

Mentioning Kuangnu, Liu Hong's expression immediately became serious, her eyes releasing a cold light. After a long silence, she said, "He belongs to the Enhancement category!"

"Enhancement category?"

Dong Xiuze tried to recall the battle that day. The man called Kuangnu was not afraid of the high temperature of the flames, and his skin and flesh were as hard as steel. Could it be that the Enhancement category of fighting aura can strengthen the body?

After asking this question, Liu Hong explained that those with Enhancement category fighting aura can strengthen the entire body, a part of the body, or even items they can touch!

After Liu Hong gave a few examples, Dong Xiuze found that this Enhancement category fighting aura seemed very similar to the "True Essence" mastered by the Yin-Yang Masters!

"What about the Biological category?" Dong Xiuze asked again.

As he asked, the image of Zhao Hu, the guard, came to his mind.

It turned out that Zhao Hu's "Mad Wolf Fighting Aura" belonged to the Biological category.

"The biggest feature of the Biological category is—mimicry!" Liu Hong straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes from the battle.

"Mimicry? What does that mean?"

"Mimicry means the ability to mimic the characteristics of living beings. When I first became a mercenary, I once encountered a Biological category fighting aura expert and saw him mimic a pair of wings."

Liu Hong looked up at the somewhat overcast night sky, recalling.

Dong Xiuze, on the side, fell into deep thought. He clearly remembered that during the battle with the mountain bandits, Zhao Hu's body had undergone significant changes, and his fingertips had grown sharp claws. Could this be the mimicry of the Biological category?

"It seems that the fighting aura Zhao Hu uses belongs to the Biological category!" Dong Xiuze smiled, finally understanding his previous confusion.

Thus, the four major categories of fighting aura: "Elemental, Biological, Enhancement, and Special," had all been witnessed by Dong Xiuze.

As the conversation deepened, Dong Xiuze learned many things he did not know before from Liu Hong, which greatly inspired him.

It was unknown how much time had passed when the unconscious Shadow Five woke up.

When he saw himself tied to a tree, he was first stunned, then delighted!

"Two inexperienced guys, do they think they can tie me up with just this hemp rope?"

A mocking smile appeared on his lips. Shadow Five glanced at Dong Xiuze and Liu Hong, who were chatting happily, and felt even more pleased.

"This thick hemp rope, I can break it with just a fraction of my fighting aura!"

Thinking this, Shadow Five quickly summoned his fighting aura.

"Huh? Why is there no response?"

His face showed surprise as he tried several times, but the result was the same. The fighting aura in his body seemed to be blocked by a mysterious energy, unable to flow through the meridians.

"What did they do to me?"

Shadow Five was greatly alarmed. Thinking of how he was captured, the initial侥幸心理 (lucky mentality) was quickly replaced by boundless fear.

"You're awake!"

Just as Shadow Five was sorting out his thoughts, the child's voice that made him tremble came to his ears.

Looking up, he saw Dong Xiuze staring at him with a playful expression.

"You... who are you really?"

Shadow Five could not accept that the boy in front of him, who smiled like a little devil, could be the son of Dong Long.

He could not accept that he had been defeated by such a young boy. He still firmly believed that the boy in front of him must be a high-level expert in disguise.

"You have no right to ask now. If you don't want to die, answer my questions obediently!" Dong Xiuze stared at him, and the Yin-Yang eyes were unconsciously activated. "First question, who sent you?"

Shadow Five, being a human weapon trained by the "Lixiao Organization," remained calm under the pressure of "Earth Intimidation" and stubbornly refused to speak.

"It's no use. He is a human weapon trained by the 'Lixiao Organization.' Even if you kill him, it won't help!" Liu Hong walked over and advised.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Dong Xiuze smiled strangely, a smile that made Liu Hong feel uneasy.

"This little guy, what is he planning? Could he make the other side cooperate?" Shaking her head, Liu Hong dismissed the idea.

She knew that people like Shadow Five, who had undergone countless brainwashing and hellish training from a young age, were not afraid of death. If necessary, they would even end their own lives without hesitation!

Dong Xiuze suddenly made a hand seal, using a strange gesture to inject a green light from his fingertips into Shadow Five's forehead. Then, he flipped his wrist and pasted a special talisman on Shadow Five's forehead.

The actions were fluid and seamless!

Liu Hong, who had witnessed this process, was about to ask but at that moment, Shadow Five's body began to tremble violently, especially his face, which turned from white to green.

"What... what did you do to him?" Liu Hong asked in surprise.
