Chapter 322: Chapter 133: A Crushing Hunt, the Might of the Yellow Springs Death Qi; Dantian Qi Sea Transformation, Breakthrough via Washing Marrow and Rushing Meridians
It was as if he’d been struck by a virulent poison...
If he didn’t find a Method to expel the Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi soon, he would undoubtedly die!
At that moment, Cao Feng, Lu Tao, and the Old Constable had once again closed in from three sides!
Cao Feng had pushed his "Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber" to its absolute peak. His Sword Momentum was like an endless tide, with the Ninefold Blade Force stacking layer upon layer. The wind from his blade carried a rumbling thunder, and its might was actually a notch stronger than that of Lu Tao, who had already broken through to the Divine Power Realm!
The Old Constable, who had the highest Cultivation, didn’t have the strongest Sword Technique of the three, but his was the most seasoned and vicious. Every slash aimed straight for the black-robed man’s vitals, giving him no room to breathe!
Meanwhile, Lu Tao avoided recklessly seeking glory. He simply roamed the periphery, providing support and occasionally striking out to harass the enemy, making it difficult for the black-robed man to deal with the other two with his full strength.
Among the three, the Old Constable was the steadiest.
Cao Feng and Lu Tao, however, had been pent-up for a long time. A fire now burned within them, and they fought with reckless, self-sacrificial moves, clashing head-on and infuriating the black-robed man to no end.
But at this moment, the black-robed man’s attention was firmly captivated by Chu Fan...
Although Chu Fan hadn’t pressed his advantage, how could the black-robed man dare to lower his guard?
Under the combined assault of Cao Feng’s trio, the black-robed man’s hands were tied, and he cut a miserable figure.
Just then, the situation on the other battlefield changed...
Cyan Snake was using the same battle tactic he had employed back at the Seven Stars Gang’s Martial Arts Arena: retreat when the enemy advances, advance when the enemy retreats. Relying on his agile Body Technique, he maneuvered around the other black-robed man—the one who had taken three of Chu Fan’s palm strikes—giving him absolutely no chance to calm himself and expel the Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi from his body.
Meanwhile, Cao Yan and Li Qingxue had joined forces to kill the four white-robed men with utmost speed. They immediately rushed back to help Cyan Snake pin down that black-robed man.
...
Chu Fan’s steps mirrored the black-robed man’s movements. His eyes, cold and unwavering, remained fixed on him.
The black-robed man knew his opponent was searching for an opening.
The moment he revealed the slightest flaw or made a single mistake, his opponent would strike like lightning!
The black-robed man didn’t dare to be careless; the majority of his attention was locked onto Chu Fan!
It might have looked like Cao Feng’s trio was relentlessly on the attack, but in reality, the true main assailant was still Chu Fan!
But having been struck by two palm attacks, the Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi were now rampaging through his body. He had long since lost his earlier composure and could only rely on his enigmatic "Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step" to weave and dodge between the glinting blades of Cao Feng’s trio.
Just as the black-robed man was forced back by a slash from the Old Constable, his movement faltering for an instant...
Chu Fan closed in again like a phantom!
His timing was perfect. He had actually anticipated the next movement of the black-robed man’s "Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step," including the exact evasive action he was about to take!
"BANG!"
The "Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand" landed on the black-robed man’s shoulder like a bolt of lightning.
Although it was a hasty palm strike delivered without its full power, a massive amount of Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi still invaded the black-robed man’s body once more.
The black-robed man let out a muffled grunt, his body suddenly spinning rapidly!
"Gale Sky-Splitting Blade!"
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The black-robed man spun faster and faster, becoming a black whirlwind!
A supremely violent Gangfeng erupted from the center of his body, sweeping out in all directions.
Countless transparent Wind Blades, hidden within the gale, shrieked as they shot indiscriminately toward Chu Fan, Cao Feng, Lu Tao, and the Old Constable!
The faces of Cao Feng and Lu Tao changed drastically. Not daring to meet the attack head-on, they immediately retreated.
They both swung their blades in a flurry, the light from them weaving into a dense, impenetrable screen...
"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"
A dense series of metallic collisions rang out as they struck down the incoming Wind Blades one by one.
But both men felt their arms go sore and numb. The skin between their thumbs and index fingers split open, dripping with fresh blood, and the residual force of the Wind Blades pushed them back again and again.
Both were horrified. ’This black-robed man has clearly taken several palm strikes and has Evil Force wracking his body. How is he still so terrifying?!’
Only the Old Constable, with his profound Cultivation, wove a much thicker screen of light from his blade. He shattered all the incoming Wind Blades and, although he was also forced back a few steps, he handled it with far more composure than Cao Feng and Lu Tao.
Chu Fan’s eyes narrowed. Instead of retreating, he charged into the gale!
He crossed his arms in front of his face, using the "Eternal Night Arm Armor" to block the Wind Blades aimed at his head. He allowed the other blades—sharp enough to tear through refined iron—to strike his body as he plunged straight into the heart of the whirlwind!
"What!"
’Who would have thought this Ghost-faced Man would simply ignore the Wind Blade assault and dive right in?’
’Even someone at the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm wouldn’t dare to ignore my "Sky Splitting" Blades!’
BOOM!
Before he could think of a countermeasure or change his technique, Chu Fan was upon him. He struck out with his palm again, landing it solidly on the center of the black-robed man’s back!
"PFFT!"
The black-robed man violently spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura instantly withered, and he staggered forward several steps.
But he used the force of Chu Fan’s palm strike to propel himself two zhang forward. He then immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his energy.
Huh?
Seeing this, Chu Fan was momentarily stunned, and his steps faltered.
Just as he took a step forward to continue the pursuit, a loud "BUZZ" resounded. A strange fluctuation emanated from the black-robed man as a tide of vast Primordial Qi surged out, coalescing into a huge, translucent golden bell-shaped shield around his body!
