Deep down, Xin Changkong knew he could easily strike down Mo Wuji, yet he continued to gather his power frantically, his Tao Domain slowly extending.
He was well aware that his Dao Heart was already marked.
He had to fight and establish his confidence in the Great Dao.
Otherwise, he was finished.
Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao; by slaying Mo Wuji, Xin Changkong would establish that his Human Mortal Path was the first Daoist Skill of the Mortal Dao.
At the same time, he would establish his belief that he could easily crush Ding Huan's friends.
People are divided into groups.
If he could crush and strike down Ding Huan's friends, then he could crush and strike down Ding Huan.
The reason he lost to Ding Huan the last time was entirely due to various coincidences and Ding Huan's luck.
Although Xin Changkong's Dao Heart showed cracks and his injuries were severe, Mo Wuji did not underestimate Xin Changkong.
He had long heard from Ding Huan that Xin Changkong was very strong.
