Chapter 474: Chapter 154: Flesh Against Profound Weapon, a Display of Limit-Breaking Might; Demon Suppression Crushes Fiery Sun, An Eye for an Eye
Mo Yunzi pushed her doubts aside. She swallowed hard, circulated Primordial Qi equivalent to 50% of her power, and poured it all into the Mortal Iron Longsword in her hand.
Her arm dipped slightly as she brought the sword down in a simple chop toward Chu Fan’s left shoulder. Though the strike looked simple, it carried the Force of a Divine Power Realm cultivator. An ordinary Acupoint Realm cultivator, if undefended, would have had their bones shattered and tendons torn!
CLANG—
The sound of clashing metal erupted, as sharp and piercing as colliding spears, seeming to make the very air tremble.
Sparks scattered like falling stardust. Mo Yunzi felt a terrifying Rebound force surge up from the hilt, numbing the web of her thumb. With a CRACK, the Mortal Iron Longsword in her hand snapped in two!
But Chu Fan hadn’t moved an inch. He remained standing right where he was.
The only change was the bluestone ground beneath his feet, which had silently sunk, kicking up a ring of dust.
Stranger still, the ground dozens of yards away also trembled faintly, sending out subtle ripples of dust that spread like a stone tossed into a lake.
"This..."
Mo Yunzi gripped the hilt of the broken sword, her fingers trembling slightly.
Her eyes were glued to Chu Fan’s shoulder. His bronze skin was still perfectly smooth. Forget a wound—not even a white mark had been left behind!
’A body this terrifying... it’s as if he were forged from Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron!’
Chu Fan reached out and lightly touched the spot on his shoulder where the sword had struck.
The skin his finger touched was still warm. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he glanced at the unsettled dust dozens of yards away. He murmured to himself, "Immovable as a Mountain, Pillow Sea as Emperor..."
He understood now. ’After its breakthrough, my Vajra Undying Body has gained such a marvelous quality.’
’Before this, even if a strike with 50% of her power couldn’t have injured me, it should have knocked me back several yards.’
’But now, I haven’t moved at all. It’s because this new Trait seems to have built an invisible bridge between my body and the earth...’
’As long as my feet are on the ground, my body only takes part of the force. The vast majority is channeled down through my feet and into the ground below. It’s as if the entire earth is sharing the burden of the attack!’
’This kind of improvement... it’s probably far more powerful than I first expected!’
An excited gleam flashed in Chu Fan’s eyes. He nodded and said, "Bring out the Spirit Soldier."
Mo Yunzi took the Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon, pursed her lips, and tightened her grip on the hilt. The longsword flashed as she once again brought it down on Chu Fan’s left shoulder!
BOOM!
A terrifying wave of force exploded from the point of impact like a clap of thunder, churning the surrounding air.
Mo Yunzi’s body shuddered. The Rebound force sent her staggering back several yards, her toes gouging two deep furrows in the bluestone before she finally managed to stabilize herself.
Chu Fan glanced down at his shoulder. All that remained was a faint white mark, which vanished in an instant like morning dew in the sun.
He nodded slowly, his tone calm. "Use your full strength. I can take it."
"..." Mo Yunzi’s eyes widened, her mind reeling.
’Chu Fan only broke through to the First Heaven of the Divine Power Realm half a month ago! How can he withstand an attack from someone at the Fifth Level of the Divine Power Realm wielding a Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon, using only his physical body?’
She hesitated no longer. Her left index finger swept lightly across the blade. The full power of her cultivation at the Fifth Level of the Divine Power Realm erupted. The longsword, wreathed in a biting, cold aura, slashed straight for Chu Fan!
Just then, Cyan Snake and White Snake entered the Martial Arts Arena and saw a horrifying sight: Mo Yunzi’s Sword Momentum was like a crashing mountain, about to fall upon Chu Fan!
Their breath hitched, and in the instant their eyes flew wide, Mo Yunzi’s longsword had already slammed into Chu Fan!
BOOM!
The entire Martial Arts Arena seemed to shudder, and the ground trembled, shedding loose stones.
Chu Fan remained perfectly still, but Mo Yunzi let out a muffled grunt. She was sent flying backward by an even more violent Rebound force, crashing heavily to the ground with a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"What happened?!"
Furious and alarmed, Cyan Snake and White Snake moved like lightning. Their swords left their sheaths in a flash of cold steel, one pressing against each side of Mo Yunzi’s neck.
Rage burned in their eyes, promising a swift end if Mo Yunzi so much as twitched.
"Relax. I’m just training."
Chu Fan’s tone was calm, yet it carried an authority that permitted no argument. "I told her to do this."
"..." Cyan Snake and White Snake exchanged a look, their eyes filled with utter confusion.
’Mo Yunzi’s last strike was thunderously powerful, yet Chu Fan is completely unscathed?’
’And he asked her to attack him?’
Even Cyan Snake, who knew a little about Chu Fan’s true strength, was frozen on the spot...
’But Mo Yunzi is at the Fifth Level of the Divine Power Realm!’
’She was wielding a Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon! Even a powerful Acupoint Realm expert with a strong shield of Protective Primordial Qi wouldn’t dare take a full-power strike from her like that!’
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Cyan Snake’s eyes narrowed. She saw that there wasn’t the faintest trace of Primordial Qi circulating around Chu Fan’s body and cried out in shock, "You... You even dispelled your Protective Primordial Qi?!"
White Snake walked over to Chu Fan and circled him, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Your physical body is even tougher than ours in the Demon Race..." she murmured. "Are you sure you’re still human?"
The atmosphere in the Martial Arts Arena turned heavy.
White Snake gazed at Chu Fan’s bronze skin. Her fingertips twitched, and, driven by curiosity, she lightly traced the line of his pectoral muscle. She clicked her tongue in appreciation. "Such firm muscles, such smooth lines..."
Before she could finish, she swallowed, unable to contain her amazement.
Chu Fan’s eyes suddenly went cold. His hand shot out like lightning, grabbing her wandering wrist. In one smooth motion, he spun and twisted...
White Snake felt an immense force take hold of her. Her world spun, and she was slammed to the ground in a clean, decisive shoulder throw!
"Oww! My back! My butt!"
