Chapter 349 - 137: Can the Demon Suppression Guard Slay Zhang Yunpeng? If Not, I’d Sooner Quit This Worthless Guard
But just as he activated his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step, Chu Fan, as if having predicted his movements, was already waiting where his next step would land!
WHOOSH!
Chu Fan’s Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand, infused with the Yellow Springs Death Qi, slammed straight down toward the top of the black-robed man’s skull!
The black-robed man knew this guy had a High-Grade Profound Weapon hidden in his palm. How could he dare to block it head-on?
He crossed his arms, his right palm striking Chu Fan’s right forearm while his left took advantage of the opening to press toward Chu Fan’s heart!
But his Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand was not yet at the Perfection Realm, and in Chu Fan’s eyes, it was riddled with openings...
Chu Fan sidestepped in a flash. His left arm shot out like a venomous snake, slipping through the gap between the black-robed man’s palms and landing a simple palm strike squarely on his chest!
BANG!
Although this strike didn’t utilize the Five Elements Cauldron, the Extreme Cold Qi and Yellow Springs Death Qi instantly shattered the black-robed man’s Protective Primordial Qi, sending him stumbling backward!
Behind him, Cao Feng and Lu Tao had already closed in, their two blades slashing down in unison to block the black-robed man’s retreat!
"You’re courting death!"
The black-robed man was wary of Chu Fan, but he wouldn’t deign to take Cao Feng and Lu Tao seriously.
He didn’t have time to seal the major acupoint on his chest. Instead, he spun around, unleashing his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step. Moving like a phantom, he dodged the two men’s attack and charged right at them!
"So fast!"
Cao Feng and Lu Tao were shocked. They hadn’t expected the black-robed man to still be so fast after taking a blow from Chu Fan!
The two of them retreated hastily at the same time!
But unexpectedly, the black-robed man made a grasping motion with his hands...
CRACK! CRACK!
Two enormous hands made of Primordial Qi instantly seized them!
However, as fast as the black-robed man was, Chu Fan was faster!
SHING!
The very instant the blade left its sheath, a flash of light swept across the black-robed man’s neck!
Seven-Star Bead Slash, Tornado Slash!
This slash was enhanced by the "Sword Swift as Lightning" Trait, moving so fast that many of the late-stage Spirit Awakening Realm experts present could barely see it...
A head flew into the air.
The Primordial Qi hands holding Cao Feng and Lu Tao disintegrated, and the two men fell to the ground.
Seeing the gruesome fate of their two comrades, the other black-robed men were horrified, and their movements faltered for an instant!
The Old Constable seized upon his opponent’s opening. He feinted with his saber, then slashed the black-robed man’s right leg with lightning speed. Immediately, he spun and brought his blade down on the man’s head!
Panic-stricken, the black-robed man dragged his gushing leg and dodged to the left...
WHOOSH!
In the distance, Chen Xuan, the head of the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall, had been biding his time. Seizing the opportunity, he fired an arrow that struck the black-robed man squarely in the left leg!
The black-robed man had been relying on the uncanny movements of his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step to suppress the Old Constable. Now, with both legs severely injured, he knew it was over.
He forced the Old Constable back with a palm strike and tried to rush into the Three Talents Sealing Demon Array, where the Resentful Spirit was raging.
But with his legs crippled, his speed was now far slower than even a Spirit Awakening Realm Martial Artist. The Old Constable quickly caught up and finished him with a single slash!
The three remaining black-robed men were only at the First or Second Heaven of the Divine Power Realm. Their strength was a far cry from the Fourth Heaven expert Chu Fan had just slain.
With a killer like Chu Fan joining the fray, and with Cao Feng, the Old Constable, Lu Tao, and the others freed up to join the attack, the three couldn’t even mount a proper resistance before being overwhelmed by the surging offensive and killed on the spot.
The onlookers from the various factions in the distance immediately broke into thunderous cheers!
The morale of the Cyan Yang Ancient City side soared!
The remaining experts from the Moon Worship Sect were terrified out of their wits, their ranks thrown into chaos!
Cao Feng, Zhao Tianxing, Wang Kaishan, and the other peak Spirit Awakening Realm experts were instantly filled with killing intent. Like tigers descending a mountain, they charged into the distance—toward where the white-robed cultists of the Moon Worship Sect were locked in combat with the Martial Artists of Cyan Yang Ancient City.
The Old Constable and Lu Tao suppressed their injuries and followed close behind.
With the pressure from the Divine Power Realm experts gone, the remaining members of the Moon Worship Sect grew even more terrified.
Once again, the sounds of battle, the clash of weapons, and the agonizing screams of the dying filled the air.
This time, however, the initiative was firmly in the hands of Cyan Yang Ancient City.
By the side of the Three Talents Sealing Demon Array, only Chu Fan now remained!
Atop the Spirit Pattern Pillars, Ding Jian, Shi Hao, and Lin Yue looked down at Chu Fan, a faint smile touching all their lips.
The strength of their new colleague had far exceeded their imaginations!
But the crisis was not yet fully resolved...
Chu Fan took a deep breath, calming the turbulent energy in his body—a result of the successive battles and high-intensity use of the Five Elements Cauldron. His gaze fell grimly upon the interior of the Three Talents Sealing Demon Array, formed by the three Spirit Pattern Pillars.
Inside the array—that was where the final victory would be decided!
The battle between Old Limp and the Moon Worship Sect expert had long since transcended the scope of ordinary Martial Arts.
Every clash of their blades erupted with a boom like muffled thunder.
The escaping energy slammed into the Three Talents Sealing Demon Array’s barrier of light, causing it to ripple violently and flicker erratically.
If Ding Jian and the other two weren’t maintaining it at all costs, the aftershocks from the clash between these two great experts would have long ago razed half of North City to the ground!
Chu Fan’s pupils contracted.
Although he couldn’t accurately judge the Cultivation Realms of the two combatants inside the array, he knew just from their world-destroying power that he was in no position to intervene.
It was a qualitative difference, an absolute chasm between Realms.
His speed and strength, which he took pride in, seemed pale and powerless before a battle of that caliber.
Even with a High-Grade Profound Weapon, it was impossible for him to threaten beings of that level!
And inside the array, there was still the most terrifying thing of all—the Resentful Spirit!
’Sir, that senior in the array is about to fall. Aren’t you going to do something?’
Chu Fan watched the endlessly roaring Resentful Spirit inside the Three Talents Sealing Demon Array, and Old Limp, who was being suppressed by the combined forces of the spirit and the Moon Worship Sect expert, and couldn’t help but sigh.
’A great Demon Suppression Envoy, just watching from the sidelines the whole time...’
’Even if it is just a Divine Sense Avatar, this is still far too strange.’
’This old fellow clearly has something up his sleeve.’
’Otherwise, facing a crisis like this, he should have at least given me a few pointers, or taught me a way to deal with it.’
’But he hasn’t said a word.’
Chu Fan had been carrying the Paperman in his robes the whole time, and he hadn’t failed to notice the small movements it was making.
