By the time the two felt it, shock appeared in Bei Tangli's eyes.
The augmented human, who they found incredibly difficult to deal with, was now being suppressed.
And it seemed to be taking a beating unilaterally.
Lin Xiao's strength and speed had reached a point that was awe-inspiring to behold.
Especially the aura emanating from him now, which made Bei Tangli's heart inexplicably feel a sense of dread.
"Is this Lin Xiao?"
Ximen Huanyan frowned. The strength Lin Xiao was currently displaying was quite different from his impression.
Especially the nearly completely contained true qi within him.
At their cultivation level, releasing true qi outward was as easy as eating and drinking, effortless. However, to achieve complete containment, gathering all true qi to a single point, was much more difficult.
If, like Lin Xiao now, true qi only instantly condensed on his limbs when he attacked, it was even more challenging!
"This has a bit of the Wudang sect's 'borrowing force to strike back' feel," Bei Tangli commented after watching for a moment.
"Indeed, and also a bit of the Bajimen sect's 'layered force'," Ximen Huanyan agreed, saying, "This punch of his is practically five levels of force."
"Do you think you could take it?"
Bei Tangli asked.
Five levels of force meant that the punch, like a surging tide, would unleash five consecutive bursts of power.
Even grandmasters at their Mingxin realm would have to evade such force, not confront it directly.
Yet, this augmented human named Kasa chose to confront it head-on.
And...
Even with five levels of force, he didn't seem to be greatly affected, merely slightly disadvantaged.
"This augmented human's body has completely surpassed human limits..." Ximen Huanyan shook his head. "If I had this body, I could bully you."
"Tch, if I had it, I'd make you too afraid to even look up,"
Bei Tangli retorted grumpily, then continued, "This augmented human's body is too tough. Even with Lin Xiao using borrowing force and this wave-like force to deal with him, he's only slightly gaining the upper hand."
"Are your old eyes failing you?"
Ximen Huanyan suddenly said, "Can't you see that young Lin Xiao is much more terrifying than you and I... This augmented human will at most last another ten breaths in his hands."
"What?"
Bei Tangli looked at Lin Xiao in confusion, then suddenly realized and slapped his forehead. "Look at me, I misjudged."
At this moment, Lin Xiao's true qi was starting to erupt bit by bit.
Concentrated at a single point, extremely strong and pure.
Moreover, his true qi was beginning to erode Kasa's body.
His fists were already showing burn marks, and with every exchange, Lin Xiao was now gaining absolute advantage.
"Data unknown."
"Arm damage thirty percent."
"Adjusting power."
"Increasing power."
"Adjusting mode."
The computer in his mind began to operate at full speed, adjusting his mode.
"Terminator mode, activated."
As this prompt sounded, the red light in his eyes, which had been flickering, turned to a steady glow.
A beam of light narrowly missed Lin Xiao's shoulder, leaving a scorch mark.
