Chapter 321: Chapter 133: Crushing Hunt, Yellow Springs Death Qi Shows Its Might! Dantian Qi Sea Transformation, Washing Marrow and Rushing Meridians to Break Through
’How can this be?!’
The black-robed man was horrified beyond belief.
The Extreme Cold Qi and the bone-chilling Yellow Springs Death Qi sent violent tremors through his body, filling him with utter horror.
’He was clearly using the Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand, so why was his Palm Force laced with Yellow Springs Death Qi?’
Terrified out of his mind, the black-robed man hastily formed a sword finger and tapped several of his own major acupoints—on his shoulder, his chest, and his Dantian. He was trying to seal his meridians to stop the Yellow Springs Death Qi and Extreme Cold Qi from spreading!
But just as his fingers touched the acupoints, a sharp whistle of wind reached his ears.
The Old Constable’s saber cut through the air with a fierce, mournful whistle as it slashed from an angle, aimed straight for the black-robed man’s back!
The black-robed man recognized how dangerous the strike was and didn’t dare hesitate for a moment.
He hastily channeled the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step. His form twisted like a phantom as he narrowly dodged the edge of the blade.
At the same time, his right hand, clad in the Black Gold Silk Gloves, became a blurry streak of residual images, striking toward the Old Constable’s right shoulder as fast as lightning!
The speed of this palm strike was extreme!
But the Old Constable seemed completely unconcerned. He neither dodged nor retreated. Without even retracting the saber from his downward slash, he flipped his wrist and swung it upward in a diagonal slash!
This life-for-a-life tactic both startled and enraged the black-robed man, forcing him to abruptly pull back his attack.
His other hand shot out, striking squarely against the flat of the saber.
The palm strike sent the saber flying, but his attack didn’t stop there; he followed the momentum and struck straight for the Old Constable’s chest!
SWISH!
Seeing his master in peril, Lu Tao immediately leaped forward. The saber at his waist flashed with cold light as he slashed straight for the black-robed man’s neck!
From the side, a sharp crackling sound suddenly rang out!
Cao Feng’s Long Saber was already wreathed in layers of lightning. As he unleashed the Sword Techniques of the Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber, they formed a great net, sealing off the black-robed man’s path of retreat!
The black-robed man now had Lu Tao behind him, Cao Feng and the Old Constable at his sides, and another man standing before him. Though this man’s aura was clearly the weakest, he was the most terrifying of them all!
Trapped in this desperate situation, the black-robed man showed not a hint of panic. With just a slight sway of his body, he materialized four identical figures out of thin air, each one charging toward Chu Fan, Cao Feng, Lu Tao, and the Old Constable.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
The sabers of Cao Feng, Lu Tao, and the Old Constable flashed as one, striking the figures of the black-robed man.
But their blades passed through empty air... they were all illusions!
Meanwhile, the figure charging Chu Fan pushed the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step to its limits, launching a palm strike straight at Chu Fan’s face!
The gust from the palm strike was still in front of Chu Fan, but the man himself had already circled to his right!
It was a feint!
His Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand wasn’t as refined as Chu Fan’s, and his mastery of the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step couldn’t compare, either. But he was, after all, a cultivator at the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm. The speed that came with such a Realm was ultimately beyond the reach of any ordinary person!
Just as his palm was about to strike Chu Fan’s shoulder...
WHOOSH!
Chu Fan’s form suddenly blurred, drifting half a foot away like a wisp of blue smoke.
The black-robed man’s palm strike had only hit a Residual Image!
’What in the world is going on!’
The black-robed man roared inwardly, filled with disbelief.
His Perception Power was far greater than other Cultivators at the Third Heaven of Divine Power Realm. He had detected the fluctuations of Primordial Qi long ago and knew his opponent’s Cultivation was merely at the First Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm.
In his eyes, a punk who had just broken through from the Mortal Realm was no different from an ant.
But this "ant" before him was now displaying a terrifying strength that struck fear into the heart of even a master like himself, at the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm!
’Setting aside his supreme mastery of the Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand and the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step for a moment, how could he possibly unleash such terrifying speed with that minuscule amount of Primordial Qi?’
These thoughts flashed through the black-robed man’s mind like a bolt of lightning. The more he pondered, the more shocked and suspicious he became...
He had no time for further thought. Ignoring his surroundings, he grit his teeth, spun around, and launched a palm strike at the Ghost-faced Man who had used the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step to appear behind him.
But the Ghost-faced Man didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced, closing the distance until he was right on top of him. Then, he suddenly lowered his shoulder and slammed it violently into the man’s chest!
"Bear Form Mountain Collision!"
This was the most ferocious technique of the Twelve Forms Fist: the Bear Form Mountain-Bashing Technique. With a muffled THUD, the black-robed man grunted and was sent flying backward like a kite with a snapped string!
But a technique like this couldn’t truly injure him.
It only served to throw his footwork into slight disarray.
But before the black-robed man could regain his footing...
BAM!
Chu Fan had already closed in, his hands a flurry of Residual Images. He used his left elbow to block the man’s right-handed parry, while his right palm thrust like a blade, striking the man’s Chest Acupoint. Then, following the momentum, he pressed down with his palm!
THUMP!
The palm strike looked soft and utterly powerless, but once it landed, a thunderous boom erupted from within the black-robed man’s body!
The major acupoints the black-robed man had desperately sealed moments before were instantly blasted open by the force!
An even greater, more terrifying torrent of Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi surged through the point of impact, pouring into his body!
"AARGH!"
The black-robed man let out a blood-curdling scream as he rapidly retreated. The color instantly drained from his face, leaving it a ghastly blue-purple.
He felt as if his meridians had been frozen solid by ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing, while simultaneously being devoured by a boundless, encroaching Death Qi...
His Primordial Qi circulation became unbearably sluggish. Any attempt to expel the fused Extreme Cold and Death Qi was utterly futile, like an ant trying to shake a tree!
After taking the first palm strike, he had at least been able to seal his acupoints and temporarily halt the spread of the Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi...
But this last strike... it had robbed him of any and all power to resist!
