I Can Merge Techniques

Chapter 452: Chapter 151: Time to Hunt, Divine Techniques Subdue Acupoint; Cauldron Seals Demon Fiend, Spiritual Light Illuminates the Dark Valley

The airflow around his body surged, stirring up a howling gale.

The mountain mist was drawn in by the aura around him, forming visible cyan vortexes of air that spiraled and rose at his sides.

The sight was quite astonishing.

"Hm?"

Mo Daozi grunted in surprise and suspicion.

’This boy is clearly cultivating an extremely profound Wind Element Technique.’

The sheer power generated from stirring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism far surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Power Realm Martial Artist!

He could even sense that the boy’s every breath was in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the wind, as if he were born a king of the wind!

’How could a mere ant at the Early Stage of the Divine Power Realm possess such an arcane Cultivation Technique?’

"Senior Brother,"

Mo Yunzi’s voice chimed in at the right moment, laced with a hint of temptation. "That boy’s Cultivation Technique is extraordinary. I’m afraid its value is no less than that of a Profound Weapon. I must ask Senior Brother to show some mercy later. Don’t kill him right away. Force the Cultivation Technique out of him, *then* take his life!"

"Hmph, you think I need you to tell me that?" Mo Daozi snorted coldly, though he had already made up his mind.

He once again spread his Divine Sense like an invisible net, repeatedly and meticulously combing over every inch of the surrounding land, every single tree.

Still, he found no traps or ambushes...

His only discovery was a faint, almost imperceptible trace of Demonic Qi on the boy.

’He has a demonic creature with him? At most, it’s at the Spirit Demon Level. Nothing to worry about.’

Mo Daozi sneered inwardly.

His cautious nature compelled him to choose the safest method, even when faced with prey that was within his grasp.

With a thought, two black shadows detached themselves from his back.

They landed and transformed into two skeletal monsters. Both had crimson eyes and radiated an aura of deathly stillness, far stronger than Mo Yunzi’s Demon Puppets.

Mo Yunzi was taken aback. "Senior Brother, your Divine Techniques are unparalleled. To kill a boy like this, why would you need to summon two Demon Puppets?"

"What do you know?" Mo Daozi said coldly. "Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit! I’m not like you fools... The reason I’ve survived this long isn’t because my cultivation is formidable, but because I’m cautious enough!"

"Go! Circle around from the left and right."

He barked a cold command.

The two Demon Puppets immediately slipped silently into the dense forest. Like phantoms, they split up and stealthily approached the cliff from the left and right.

Mo Daozi himself concealed his entire aura, transforming into a faint, almost invisible shadow, and crept forward from the center.

A three-pronged pincer attack, sealing off all of the target’s escape routes!

He intended to end this foregone conclusion of an ambush with a single, lightning-fast strike.

Behind them, Mo Yunzi grew increasingly nervous.

She believed Chu Fan could kill Mo Daozi.

But Mo Daozi was being so cautious, summoning his Demon Puppets so early just to deal with someone in the Divine Power Realm.

This meant Chu Fan would be facing three opponents at the Acupoint Realm’s Second Heaven all by himself!

She narrowed her eyes and crept forward from behind with her own Demon Puppet. Her plan was to engage Mo Daozi’s two puppets as soon as the fight began, hoping to relieve some of the pressure on Chu Fan.

「...」

「On the cliff’s edge.」

On the surface, Chu Fan was immersed in cultivating the Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture.

In reality, the moment Mo Daozi had stepped into this area, the Spirit Array Map of the Demon Dragon Celestial Spirit Scripture had already unfurled silently.

Within a radius of several miles, every rustle of the wind and every stir of the grass was as clear to his perception—now enhanced more than tenfold—as the lines on his own palm.

Mo Daozi’s caution, the Demon Puppets’ stealthy approach, and even Mo Yunzi’s suppressed breathing from dozens of zhang away—nothing was missed.

’He has some skill, I’ll give him that.’

Chu Fan sneered inwardly.

’To have such formidable cultivation, yet remain as cautious and cunning as if he were walking on thin ice.’

’To deal with a supposed "Early Stage of the Divine Power Realm" cultivator like me, he even summoned his Demon Puppets beforehand and chose to launch a sneak attack.’

’No wonder this man has repeatedly escaped the Heaven and Earth Net cast by the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Six Gates.’

But at that very moment, Chu Fan’s expression suddenly turned strange.

He had only told Mo Yunzi to send a message and lure in Mo Daozi, this big fish.

But within the perception of his Spirit Array Map, three other equally powerful and tyrannical auras were rapidly approaching the cliff at an astonishing speed!

As they drew closer, the auras became increasingly clear!

Almost at the same instant Chu Fan noticed them, Mo Daozi, who had been about to make his move, also froze, his face changing dramatically!

Among those three auras was one he knew all too well—it belonged to his arch-nemeses, who had been hunting him for a full day and night!

’How can this be? My Paperman’s aura is identical to mine. How did it fail to lead them in the opposite direction?’

Panic seized Mo Daozi’s heart.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Mo Daozi, let’s see where you run this time!"

Accompanied by a burst of rough, hearty laughter, three figures tore through the forest mist. They descended like meteors from different directions, forming a fan shape that completely sealed off the exit from the cliff.

The newcomers were two men and one woman. Their auras were all unfathomably deep, and all of them were at the Acupoint Realm’s Second Heaven!

The leader was a middle-aged man with a hulking build like an iron tower. On his back, he carried a great blade wider than a door panel. The muscles on his bare arms were knotted and bulging, and he radiated a savage aura like a Fierce Beast.

Beside him was a voluptuous and enchanting woman in a revealing red dress, her seductive eyes like silk.

The last person made Chu Fan take a second look.

It was a vicious-looking brute whose face was covered in fine, pale-yellow fur. His eyes glinted with a wild light, and a heaven-storming Demonic Qi erupted from his body—he was actually a transformed expert from the Demon Race!

Watching the sudden appearance of these three, Chu Fan remained silent, his brow furrowed.

The Cyan Snake hidden in his sleeve, however, began to tremble uncontrollably.

The auras of the Acupoint Realm cultivators were crushing her to the point of extreme agony!

Especially the expert from the Demon Race!

Meanwhile, Mo Yunzi, who was still in hiding, felt her heart sink as she cursed her luck inwardly.

’This wasn’t part of the plan at all...’

’If only Mo Daozi had come alone, I’m confident the Young Master’s methods would have been enough to slay him.’

’Even if he failed, I could have summoned my Demon Puppet with all my might to help, tying down Mo Daozi’s two puppets for a moment to create an opportunity for the Young Master.’

’But now...’

’Three more Acupoint Realm experts, none weaker than Mo Daozi, have shown up!’
