I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 46 Explosion

With his Level-1 swordsmanship talent, his body was almost on the same level as Tang Zhenfeng, who had undergone five transformations.

Tang Zhenfeng specialized in strength-based techniques, so he had more power. Chen Yiming specialized in the Mantis Snake Sword Technique, so his agility was higher. They both had their own strengths.

The reason why Tang Zhenfeng had been unable to defeat Chen Yiming was because of the restriction of his cultivation technique. This showed a clear path for Chen Yiming’s originally hazy plan.

He could mainly cultivate one type of sword technique and constantly learn other types of sword techniques secretly, integrating them to form his own unique sword technique. Such a sword technique would encompass various types of techniques, and could be used to counter all kinds of opponents. Other people would only be wasting time and slowing down their progress when cultivating this way. Only he could make it work with his special ability to secretly learn different techniques.

He could not even touch the corner of his shirt.

Tang Zhenfeng started to panic. After failing to land an attack again, he spit out a mouthful of blood that he couldn’t hold back anymore. He then stood his ground, unmoving.

“You only know how to run around. Do you dare to fight me head-on like a real man?” Tang Zhenfeng tried his best to calm his pounding heart and cursed loudly.

Chen Yiming’s figure also stopped, and he observed Tang Zhenfeng from more than five meters away.

“Are you unable to suppress your internal injuries any longer?” Chen Yiming asked anxiously.

When Zheng Qiming kicked Tang Zhenfeng in the stomach, he had suffered quite a serious injury. He had suppressed his injuries and taken action within a short period of time, so his injuries had probably worsened.

“Come closer if you have the guts. Let’s see if I can beat you to death,” Tang Zhenfeng threatened.

“Then why did you stop? I was just warming up,” Chen Yiming retorted.

Chen Yiming was in no hurry. The sword technique he used was not the Mantis Snake Sword Technique. Even if he failed to defeat Tang Zhenfeng, they would not be able to find out anything from him.

“You!” Tang Zhenfeng was infuriated. He really wanted to rush over and kill Chen Yiming.

Suddenly, he felt as though the world was spinning around him. His head swayed uncontrollably, and his entire body visibly froze…

Chen Yiming immediately noticed the change in Tang Zhenfeng’s expression.

Without any hesitation, he kicked off from the ground and charged forward.

He now used the Phantom Sword Technique, a sword technique that he previously thought to be useless, in an attempt to trick Tang Zhenfeng.

When Tang Zhenfeng realized that he was feeling dizzy due to excessive blood loss and wanted to use his sword to defend himself, he misjudged Chen Yiming’s true position.

The large sword he was using to defend himself was only blocking the air.

“Swish!”

Chen Yiming stabbed his sword into the right side of Tang Zhenfeng’s lower back, and twisted the blade around the wound.

Tang Zhenfeng instantly became fully alert from the intense pain, and used his elbow to try to counterattack. However, his elbow only hit the air as Chen Yiming, who was playing it safe, had already retreated.

“Good… Very good!” Tang Zhenfeng pressed on his new wound with one hand, flustered and exasperated.

He had already been forced into a corner. Not only had he received internal injuries from Zheng Qiming to his abdomen, but he now had an additional stab wound in his lower back.

The lower back was an important part of a person’s strength. Once that was injured, their strength would be greatly reduced.

Encountering an enemy like Chen Yiming, who was as slippery as a loach, whom he couldn’t touch or escape from, would make even a clay person feel angry. His opponent wasn’t giving him a chance to live, so he wouldn’t let his opponent off either. Tang Zhenfeng took a deep breath, his face suddenly turning red as his body enlarged by a full size.

“You forced me to do this. Neither of us will survive!” He raised his sword and charged forward like a rhinoceros, completely unaffected by the injury to his lower back.

As Tang Zhenfeng moved, he left behind footprints that were half an inch deep in his wake. The sound of his footsteps echoed through the street. The distance of several meters was covered in the blink of an eye.

The wind from the approaching sword was stronger than before.

Chen Yiming’s hair stood on end as he quickly tried to dodge the attack. He had no intention of blocking it at all.

“Boom!”

The blow from the sword landed on a tree by the roadside.

The entire tree was blown apart and broke into two.

Even though Chen Yiming had completely understood the Mountain Breaking Sword Technique and knew the attack patterns of the technique, the large sword had almost hit him.

At this moment, Tang Zhenfeng was clearly stronger than Chen Yiming. “This is fortunate. If he had been so powerful right from the start, I would have been in danger.” Chen Yiming was shocked.

His cultivation speed was too fast, and he was still a rookie in the martial arts world. There were many skills that he had not seen before.

Even though he was clearly at a disadvantage, he still managed to dodge the attack somehow. Relying on his understanding of the Mountain Breaking Sword Technique, he could predict the attack path of the sword each time. However, Tang Zhenfeng didn’t know this. After a few rounds, Chen Yiming broke free from the pressure of a life and death fight.

On the other hand, Tang Zhenfeng had completely lost the powerful aura he had previously. His face was pale as he stood rooted to the ground and continuously vomited blood.

It was clear that he was already severely injured. Even if he used that explosive power again, it would not last long.

His heart was filled with despair. He wanted to continue, but his body was unable to muster the strength to do so.

The sword in his hand felt heavier and heavier, and he thought of letting it go.

This secret technique that allowed him to unleash his power for a short period of time was something he had learned from one of his companions when they met with a dangerous situation in the wilderness.

The principle of the secret technique was to use the force from his muscles to put additional pressure on his heart, causing the blood to flow faster in his entire body. This would temporarily increase his strength and speed in all aspects.

Under normal circumstances, it would take months for him to fully recover from the injuries caused with each use. Now that he was already injured, using the secret technique was equivalent to risking his death at any moment.

Tang Zhenfeng didn’t give up his last strand of hope, so he turned and ran.

He tried to sprint the whole way, but he could no longer move quickly, and was only slightly faster than ordinary people.

Chen Yiming hung behind not too far from him and didn’t make any move.

He had already achieved his goal, so there was no need for him to take any further risk. After all, no one knew if Tang Zhenfeng would be able to deliver another blow using his explosive power in the face of death.

Just like that, the two of them melted into the darkness one after another.

Near the entrance of the street, Tang Zhenfeng saw that the main road was right in front of him, and a glimmer of hope lit up in his heart. Suddenly, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, coughing non-stop. After more than ten seconds, he tried to stand up, but failed several times. He tried to crawl forward, but after moving forward by just one step, he was unable to support himself and collapsed on the ground.

Chen Yiming stood by the corpse and waited for another two minutes.

During this time, the corpse struggled once more. It could have been Tang Zhenfeng’s last-ditch counterattack, but Chen Yiming was cautious and didn’t fall for it.

When Tang Zhenfeng finally stopped breathing, Chen Yiming used his sword to disarm his opponent, then beheaded him in one clean move.

With this, Tang Zhenfeng should be completely dead.

Chen Yiming started to loot his body.

In the fight with Tang Zhenfeng earlier, he had to rely on his fighting style to seal his opponent’s attack, his ability to secretly learn sword techniques, and the fact that Tang Zhenfeng had already been injured quite severely, to obtain a victory.

Digging deeper into the underlying reasons, the first was that he had always trained in the school, so his combat experience was no match for someone like Tang Zhenfeng who had been dispatched on jobs for many years.

The second was that the sword techniques he knew were not comprehensive enough. If he mastered enough types of sword techniques, he would definitely be able to use them flexibly and have ways to completely restrain his opponent.

Fortunately, the result was good. Tang Zhenfeng, who was clearly injured, was no match for Chen Yiming, who was in good physical condition.

Chen Yiming also took advantage of the fact that his opponent was injured, which meant that he wouldn’t fight him with all his strength right from the start. He could then decide whether to continue or retreat based on the situation.
