Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 299 The Defensive Power of an Eighth-Tier Divine Weapon
Xu Yunfan said, "Then I'll take this opportunity to learn from your superior skills, senior brother."

To ensure all resources are used on one's own, one naturally needs to demonstrate one's value. With the Heavenly Demon approaching, Bi Yuanyan is unwilling to sit idly by and wait for death. Only by quickly advancing to the Ninth Realm can one have a chance to transcend and survive.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them suddenly sprang into action!
Before Xu Yunfan could finish speaking, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the bluestone beneath his feet.

As one enters the Lesser Completion stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, the tendons and bones become as interconnected as if they were forged from black steel a hundred times. The great dragon of the spine suddenly arches up, and the "Mountain Collapse Stance" starting move of the "Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique" causes the muscles of the whole body to surge like waves.

The dragon scale armor covering his right arm throbbed incessantly with the surge of blood and qi, revealing a reddish sheen under the stimulation of blood and qi. Beneath the armor, the large tendons under the skin of his arm coiled like dragons.

The Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace transformed into a crimson rainbow piercing the sun, and the dragon patterns on the mace's body, infused with pure Yang energy, revealed dark red, lava-like lines.

Chu Cangming's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the long sword in his hand hummed softly, emitting a tremor like a dragon's roar.

This senior brother, who had reached an extremely deep level in the Refining Internal Organs Realm, was now gushing out solidified internal energy from his seven orifices, a unique phenomenon refined from the Twelve Golden Gate Jade Lock Techniques.

As he stepped, his toes lightly touched the ground, and his seemingly elusive "Stepping the Divine Path" movement left footprints three inches deep on the black stone bricks. The trajectory of his sword carried a sense of oppression like a collapsing mountain, and his ultimate move, "Heavenly Gate Severing," even tore the air apart, creating visible pale waves of air.

"clang!"

The moment the mace and sword clashed, a ring-shaped gas explosion emanated from the two of them.

Before the blood from Xu Yunfan's split tiger's mouth could even splatter, it was scorched into a blood mist by the high temperature rising from the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace.

What a great power!
Xu Yunfan's pupils dilated slightly, somewhat unable to believe that Chu Cangming's sword strike had the power to topple mountains.

The moment they made contact, the muscles in his right arm suddenly twisted and contorted in a bizarre way. The blood and qi guided by the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Technique formed a spiral force in his meridians, which actually channeled the immense force from Chu Cangming's sword into his feet.

The black stone ground collapsed with a roar, and Xu Yunfan's ankles sank into the soil. However, he used the momentum to complete the method of energy flow recorded in the "Yijing Xisui Gong". All 206 bones in his body vibrated at a high frequency at the same time, completely dissolving the sword energy that had invaded his internal organs.

The application of force dissipation in the Xuan Steel Hundred Forging Body Technique, the exquisite bone trembling and humming of the Secret Martial Heavenly Cicada Body Refining Technique, and the force guidance techniques of the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Skill.
Chu Cangming's pupils shrank sharply. He really didn't expect Xu Yunfan to be able to block his sword. Although it seemed like he had taken a shortcut, he had still managed to block it.

"The Mountain-Slaying Sword Technique?"

Xu Yunfan was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Chu had actually practiced this sword technique."

Chu Cangming said calmly, "I have mastered all nine of the Dao Sect's supreme sword techniques."

Xu Yunfan exclaimed in surprise: "Practicing so much, aren't you afraid of being broad but not deep?"

Chu Cangming felt a tightness in his chest. Xu Yunfan had the nerve to criticize others. Not only had he practiced countless different styles of divine skills, but he hadn't even exploded due to changes in his blood energy frequency in this state.

Before he could change his move, the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace suddenly twisted as if it were alive. The divine weapon had a spirit, and the dragon head on the mace actually raised its mouth and bit the spine of the Sunken Mountain Sword.

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the pure Yang energy in his body boiled like molten lava, flowing through his muscles and skin to his palm and pouring into the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace.

The dragon pattern on the mace suddenly lit up, as if a crimson dragon had awakened, and the intense heat even caused the surrounding air to distort and vaporize.

He slammed his left palm down on the mace's end, and the blood energy condensed by the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Skill and the pure Yang true energy condensed by the Pure Yang Qi Gong erupted simultaneously, creating a triple shockwave on the mace.

The first level, like raging waves crashing against the shore, the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace emitted a trembling sound like a dragon's roar, and wherever the mace's edge passed, the air was torn apart, leaving visible pale streaks of air.

The second wave followed immediately, like a mountain collapsing. The domineering force of pure Yang true energy was transmitted through the mace, causing Chu Cangming's longsword to emit a low hum.

The third level is like a thunderous explosion, and the true meaning of the ultimate move of the "Nine Profound Dragon-Slaying Mace Technique" "Dragon-Slaying Without Regret" is fully released. The energy is propelled by the divine weapon, and the mace head actually spits out a solid dragon head phantom, which opens its mouth and bites the sword!

"laugh!"

Chu Cangming's right sleeve shattered inch by inch amidst the violent shockwave, revealing an arm shimmering with golden light. Xu Yunfan's eyes flickered slightly.

This Chu Cangming is also someone whose muscles, bones, and skin have reached perfection, and his body has obvious characteristics of perfect muscles, bones, and skin.

Moreover, Chu Cangming has already cultivated the "Twelve Secrets of the Golden Gate and Jade Lock" to an extremely profound level.

Even so, in the clash with Xu Yunfan, his tiger's mouth was still cracked, and before the blood could drip, it was burned into a blood mist by the pure yang true energy.

The longsword trembled violently under the impact of the immense force, and the hilt even left a scorch mark on Chu Cangming's palm!

"boom!"

Xu Yunfan suddenly stepped back and twisted his waist, his originally fierce and unparalleled mace technique abruptly turning into a soft and feminine one.

The subtle energy manipulation techniques of the "Yijing Xisui Gong" were grafted onto the heavy mace, and the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace slid along the spine of the sword towards Chu Cangming's wrist at an extremely agile angle.

The heavy mace rubbed against the spine of the sword, hissing out a series of sparks.

The onlookers were quite surprised. They had thought that Xu Yunfan was skilled in using heavy weapons and that his movements would be bold and unrestrained. However, Xu Yunfan used the heavy mace with the precision of an embroidery needle.

It seems even more agile than swordsmanship that takes a more subtle approach.

Chu Cangming let out a long roar, and his longsword suddenly flew out of his hand and began to spin.

With his left hand, he made a sword gesture to activate his secret martial art, while with his right hand, he pointed his fingers like a halberd and thrust them straight at Xu Yunfan's Tanzhong acupoint.

A fleeting glimpse?

Xu Yunfan was somewhat surprised. Although he had been burying himself in training these days, he was not oblivious to what was happening around him. This technique of splitting light and shadow was actually a top-level movement skill, and it had even subtly transcended the scope of martial arts. He never expected it to be used as an attack method.

This "splitting light and fleeting shadow" technique conceals seven variations, with the qi gathered at the fingertips drawing a ghostly blue trajectory in the air.

Xu Yunfan neither dodged nor yielded. He activated his blood energy, and a wisp of pure Yang true energy poured into his body, causing the dragon scale armor on his body to shimmer with golden light.

"Tsk!"

The sound of finger force piercing through the armor rang out simultaneously with the sound of bones shattering.

Chu Cangming's pupils trembled violently. He subconsciously glanced at his twisted fingers and could clearly feel his sword fingers being shattered by the divine armor on Xu Yunfan's body.

"An eighth-tier divine weapon?!"

Chu Cangming's expression turned somewhat grim. No wonder Bai Zhi had suffered a setback here. His sword strike, covered in blood energy and surrounded by powerful energy, was no less powerful than a strike from a divine weapon.

Even within the Dao Sect, an eighth-tier divine weapon is a powerful weapon used to suppress the sect. What qualifications does Xu Yunfan have to gain the recognition of an eighth-tier divine weapon?!
Even with the dragon scale armor protecting him, Xu Yunfan still felt a slight tightness in his chest from the sword finger strike, but then he smiled.

In the instant the sword finger hardened, the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace in his hand completed an incredible turn.

The ninth move of the "Eight Desolate Dragon Fall Mace Technique" is executed with an inverted hook motion, slashing upwards from Chu Cangming's blind spot.

As the mace struck, Chu Cangming's jade hairpin shattered into powder, and a strand of black hair at his temple was ignited by pure yang energy, bursting into a ghostly blue flame in the air.
