As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 187 That was just a warm-up!

"Illusory Jellyfish" can usually only simulate other remnants of the past.

If used to simulate humans, the edges will be blurry and various flaws will appear.

Therefore, Xiong Tieshan needed to activate "Illusion Butterfly" at the same time, not to confuse Xu Yan, but to hide his own weakness.

The real Xiong Tieshan... is hidden behind the "illusion jellyfish".

Xu Yan heard his faint yet sharp breathing.

This stubborn old man, who had just suffered a major heart problem, was frantically inhaling air in the least amount of noise possible, expanding his lungs to their limit so that he could pump out the strongest force from deep within his internal organs and limbs.

Having seen through the opponent's disguise, Xu Yan could easily dodge the deadly move hidden behind the illusion.

After a quick thought, he chose a more risky and proactive approach.

Xu Yan widened his eyes, pretending that he only noticed the phantom rushing towards him at the last moment, and that he was flustered and exhausted.

A sharp hand knife sliced ​​the "illusionary jellyfish" model of Xiong Tieshan in half.

After the illusion, the real Xiong Tieshan suddenly rose up.

A thunderous punch landed squarely on Xu Yan's chest.

Xu Yan's pectoral muscles, however, were deeply sunken, like mud.

The arms wrapped around him again like pythons, gripping Xiong Tieshan's elbows and shoulders tightly.

Xu Yan came prepared this time.

Although he paid the price of his sternum almost bursting, his ten fingers were like iron hooks, deeply embedded in two of Xiong Tieshan's joints, almost tearing his ligaments.

Next, they would either crush the two joints completely or swing Xiong Tieshan's arm and smash him until he was dizzy and mangled.

Xiong Tieshan's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

A new guardian spirit swam from behind, down my shoulder, and onto my wrist.

His entire right arm was coated with a layer of dark, shiny grease.

The muscles held by Xu Yan bulged up like fully inflated rubber, actually snapping Xu Yan's fingers away.

With a "whoosh," Xiong Tieshan broke free from Xu Yan's grasp once again.

Xu Yan tried to give chase, but felt a slippery, sticky sensation under his feet.

Realizing that Xiong Tieshan had just summoned his third guardian spirit, "Red-Eyed Oil Mackerel," which he had personally modified, he noticed that the spirit's arms and feet were coated with a thick layer of grease.

Stepping on or crossing grease rashly will definitely disrupt your body's balance and expose new weaknesses.

Xu Yan pondered for a moment, then took three steps back and snapped his fingers lightly.

Between the index and middle fingers, a gleaming bronze battle card appeared out of nowhere.

With a brief and quiet summons, "Jelly" appeared around him like a cloud of smoke containing deadly venom, shrouding his figure in a hazy, elusive way.

Xiong Tieshan did not rashly launch a new offensive.

Instead, he chuckled and slowly moved his arm, which had just been locked by Xu Yan, using the high-frequency vibration of the muscle fibers to shake off all the small oil droplets attached to his skin, revealing his steel-cast arm, which was like a warhammer.

From the moment they started exchanging blows until now, it has only been half a minute and two or three rounds.

The thrilling covert battles during this period were a hundred times more exciting than most of the dazzling, visually and aurally spectacular contests at the Dawn Cup. Xiong Tieshan was clearly a veteran of the no-card strategy.

However, within half a minute, without using a card reader, it forcibly summoned a total of four guardian spirits.

Although both are spirits of black iron, the timing of their summoning and the tactics they employ are perfectly timed and perfectly matched with his terrifying power, capable of unleashing 300% of his destructive power. No one would believe that a die-hard follower of the Absolute God Path could use the sealing card to this extent.

Xu Yan was nominally a card maker, but after realizing that he had no time to summon his guardian spirit in the face of Xiong Tieshan's rapid and fierce attacks, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​activating the sealing card.

Both grappling techniques are classic skills in the no-card style, with unparalleled fierceness and perfect timing. The steel body that withstood Xiong Tieshan's two heavy hammer blows is more like a fanatical believer in the Absolute God Path who has practiced the no-card style since childhood.

If you covered their faces and let an unsuspecting person observe, they would think they had switched identities!
"Not bad!"

The flames in Xiong Tieshan's eyes burned brighter and brighter, and he made no attempt to hide his admiration for Xu Yan, "I knew you were strong, but I didn't expect you to be this strong. If you were to represent the Kuangtie team in the Dawn Cup, you would definitely be qualified to win the championship!"

"The registration period has already passed."

Xu Yan smiled, "Besides, I don't think there's any value in participating in these commercial competitions that are just for promoting new product cards. They're nothing more than a bunch of puppets dancing on a pre-planned route!"

"well said!"

Xiong Tieshan took a deep breath, his chest bulging, as if a giant beast lurking in his heart was about to break free.

Her abdomen, however, was so deeply sunken that it was almost transparent.

Four or five activated sealed cards fell from behind him to his feet.

He opened his empty hands to Xu Yan, then smiled and clenched his ten fingers one by one, making two fists that were larger and harder than meteor hammers.

"Are you ready?"

He grinned and said, "Warm-up done, now it's time to get serious!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiong Tieshan disappeared again.

Because of its excessive speed, only a blurry cloud of gray mist remained in place.

To Xu Yan's surprise, this time, the bone-chilling sense of crisis didn't come rushing towards him, but rather inexplicably attacked him from behind.

Xu Yan, whose pupils had shrunk to their limit, finally realized that Xiong Tieshan, who had just been using the Black Iron Civilian Card and playing so-called tactics, was really just warming up.

Now, Xiong Tieshan, who has abandoned all sealing cards and guardian spirits, but uses his flesh and blood as a weapon forged through countless trials and tribulations, is the most terrifying!

Despite the conflict between sight and intuition, Xu Yan firmly believed in the judgment of logic. He crossed his arms, and the "jelly" acted like a highly elastic shield in front of him.

He guessed it right!

Despite the overwhelming killing intent emanating from behind.

Xiong Tieshan's true form, however, leaped high into the air from the front, launching a surprise attack from above.

However, simply judging the direction of the opponent's attack is not enough to neutralize this unpretentious, "just" powerful attack.

After being repeatedly nourished by the Primordial Purple Qi and through countless virtual battles within the Human Emperor Banner, the "jelly" has become tough enough to withstand close-range bombardment from large-caliber bullets.

But it still couldn't stop Xiong Tieshan from throwing a serious punch.

When Xiong Tieshan's force passed through the "jelly" and struck Xu Yan's crossed arms, both of Xu Yan's arms were slammed back into his chest.

He once again experienced the feeling that his sternum was almost broken, his lungs were about to burst, his heart was about to perforate, and he was completely unable to breathe.
