The strength of this Kang Linyue is slightly stronger than that of the two red-robed killing stars that Jing Yan previously killed, but it's limited. Overall, there's no real difference.
However, Kang Linyue knows he is sure to die, so he immediately uses a forbidden technique with immense power. The use of the forbidden technique allows him to gain strength far beyond normal circumstances in a short time, giving him more time. The longer he can delay Jing Yan, the greater the chance for his two companions to escape.
Previously, Jing Yan killed two red-robed killing stars with a single sword stroke. Kang Linyue knows if he doesn't use the forbidden technique right away, he might not even get the chance to use it. Though using the forbidden technique causes harm to his body, with his life at stake, why care about the harm?
"Burning essence blood? It's somewhat similar to that Black River Heavenly Monarch's forbidden technique," Jing Yan frowned.
