Chapter 530 Offense and Defense in One

As Chen Guan threw his punch, Shang Feiyu used the technique of borrowing force to strike back, placing his palm on Chen Guan's arm, intending to neutralize the force and use Chen Guan's strength to hit himself.

However, when he tried to exert force, he felt that Chen Guan was as immovable as a mountain. He could not borrow any force from him, nor could he neutralize his force.

Chen Guan's punch landed squarely on her chest, and even Yu Xian's innate ability couldn't absorb any of the force; she was sent flying.

Her fate was slightly better than Chu Jianxiong's. After all, she used the power of the Destiny Star first, and the feather robe she transformed into blocked some of the power. However, she was still hit so hard that her sternum was broken, her internal organs were damaged, and blood was spilling from her mouth. She no longer had the ability to fight.

The people watching the battle from the city wall were all shocked.

Shang Feiyu and Chu Jianxiong are both top figures among the Four Awakenings, yet they couldn't even withstand a single punch from this person. They had no idea what this person's background was.

Now they are all suspicious of each other, wondering if someone from one of the ten great families secretly cultivated such a person.

If Chu Jianxiong's defeat was due to his carelessness and lack of understanding of the other person's strength and abilities, then it was because he was careless.

Shang Feiyu's defeat can only mean that this person is too strong.

"Amazing!" The cultivators who originally came to participate in the Heroes' Gathering had all arrived at the city wall, and many of them had seen Chen Guan punch Shang Feiyu to pieces.

“This man’s strength is unparalleled; I’m afraid only you, Brother Jiang, can rival him,” Zhang Xuanqing said, looking at Jiang Yunxiang beside him.

Jiang Yunxiang said, "In terms of strength, I'm afraid I'm no match for him. I wonder which family cultivated such a person. Among the four senses, the only one who can reliably beat him in terms of strength is probably Gong Wudi."

"So, Brother Jiang, you have a way to win?" Zhang Xuanqing asked with a smile.

"It's simply a matter of using softness to overcome hardness, skill to defeat clumsiness, and speed to defeat slowness. His strength is unparalleled; even without using the Heavenly Fate Star ability, he couldn't withstand a single punch from Shang Feiyu, who was using it. This shows how powerful his strength is. Generally speaking, those who train their strength tend to be slower and less skilled. I should be able to defeat him by using speed to defeat slowness," Jiang Yunxiang said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you for a while, Brother Jiang," Zhang Xuanqing said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Jiang Yunxiang, who was already eager to compete, did not refuse upon hearing this. He leaped down from the city wall and headed towards Chen Guan.

"And who are you? Which organization do you represent?" Chen Guan asked Jiang Yunxiang as he approached.

"I will fight you on behalf of the Jiang family. If I am defeated, the Jiang family will no longer concern itself with this matter." Jiang Yunxiang asked with a smile, "How should I address you, sir?"

"A nobody." Chen Guan remained silent.

"Since you don't want to talk, then let's fight." Jiang Yunxiang didn't waste any words. His figure suddenly accelerated, leaving behind a series of afterimages, as if there were many Jiang Yunxiangs attacking Chen Guan from different directions.

Chen Guan's best movement technique is the One Night Step, and his best skill is the martial arts rhythm he learned from Shang Ziyi. However, both of these techniques are relatively easy to expose his identity, so he cannot use them in public.

Without using these techniques, he couldn't keep up with Jiang Yunxiang's speed, so he simply stood there and let Jiang Yunxiang attack him.

When Jiang Yun saw that Chen Guan had no reaction, he knew that his judgment was correct.

Someone with his unparalleled strength would definitely lack skill and speed.

In a flash, Jiang Yunxiang's true form appeared behind Chen Guan, lightning condensing on his palm as he struck Chen Guan in the back.

This palm strike was his most proficient secret technique, the "Purple Lightning Palm Thunder." Not only was it extremely powerful, but it also had a paralyzing effect. Even if it didn't cripple Chen Guan, it would render him incapable of retaliating. *Bang!*
Jiang Yunxiang's palm strike landed squarely on Chen Guan's back, and purple lightning immediately scattered.

Everyone thought Jiang Yunxiang had succeeded and was overjoyed when they saw Chen Guan, who had been struck by the palm, standing there motionless, while Jiang Yunxiang was sent flying backward.

After Jiang Yunxiang fell to the ground, he convulsed as if he were having an epileptic seizure, with purple electric sparks occasionally crackling across his body.

"What's going on... Isn't his secret technique an attack type? How come it also has the ability to reflect damage? Could it be a protective secret technique?" Zhang Xuanqing and the others were all taken aback.

It was obvious that Jiang Yunxiang had been injured by his own Purple Lightning Palm Lightning, and his body had been paralyzed.

However, only protective secret techniques have the ability to reflect damage, and only a very small number of protective secret techniques have this ability.

Chen Guan's previous attacks were so fierce that they thought they were attack techniques. But now, it seems that they have turned into a protective technique with the ability to reflect damage.

"It's actually a secret technique that combines offense and defense. Its attack and defense are both so powerful. How come I've never heard of such a combined secret technique before?" someone said, full of doubt.

"Such a powerful combined secret technique, I wonder which master of secret techniques it came from," Zhang Xuanqing exclaimed.

"Brother Zhang, stop lamenting. Now we can only count on you," said Chu Jianxiong, who had returned to the city wall to watch the battle.

"What do you expect from me?" Zhang Xuanqing asked, his eyes wide.

"Of course, we're hoping you can beat him. Although his secret technique is both offensive and defensive and is indeed very powerful, it's also clear that his speed and skill are somewhat lacking. Since that madman Gong Wudi isn't here, no one can directly confront him. The only way to beat him is to focus on that aspect, and you are the most suitable candidate," Chu Jianxiong said.

“I can’t do it. I’m just a pill refiner and talisman drawer. How could I have such skills?” Zhang Xuanqing shook his head repeatedly.

"There are no outsiders here, Brother Xuanqing, so stop acting. The whole world is watching. If we lose today, we won't even be able to deal with an unknown nobody, and we'll lose all face for the Ten Prefectures," Chu Jianxiong said with a wry smile.

“He could not possibly be some nobody. Just by looking at that basket of Blood-Coagulated Jade Bodhi, you can tell he must come from a prestigious family, perhaps even one of the top ten families,” Zhang Xuanqing retorted.

“We know the truth in our hearts, but others don’t. Everyone is watching right now. What do you think they’ll say when they get out?” Chu Jianxiong said helplessly.

Zhang Xuanqing pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Then I'll give it a try."

“With your abilities, Brother Xuanqing, you will surely be able to defeat him,” Chu Jianxiong said happily.

Zhang Xuanqing had no choice but to descend the city wall and head towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan and Bai Xiuyan did not leave. They knew that if they did not defeat the people of Taishan City today, they would probably not be allowed to leave.

Upon seeing a young man in a Taoist robe approaching, Chen Guan guessed that this person was most likely from the Zhang family.

Sure enough, the young man walked up to Chen Guan, bowed, and said, "My name is Zhang Xuanqing. Please enlighten me."

"So you're Zhang Xuanqing, the one from the Zhang family who's a master of both alchemy and talisman-making?" Bai Xiuyan asked, sizing up Zhang Xuanqing.

Even Bai Xiuyan had heard of Zhang Xuanqing's name.
