Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 167 Revealing the Cards

The interaction between the generating and restraining relationships of all things is mutual.

While a flesh mountain like the Great Joyful Bodhisattva is certainly the opponent Cha Nan hates the most right now, the Great Joyful Bodhisattva certainly doesn't like a slippery, fast-moving opponent like Cha Nan either.

The final result will be whether Cha Nan finds the flaw in the Great Joyful Bodhisattva first, or whether the Great Joyful Bodhisattva outlasts Cha Nan until his legs give out.

In fact, Cha Nan had the advantage of knowing the approximate location of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva's weakness in advance, and seized the opportunity to kick her to death, thus eliminating such a troublesome opponent.

After Cha Nan retreated to Lu Xiaofeng's side, there were nearly a hundred people on the other side, but none of them stepped forward to challenge him again.

The sword in Lu Xiaofeng's hand and Cha Nan's legs both displayed extremely strong killing power, making them very frightening.

After all, although the Great Joyful Bodhisattva was not a grandmaster, her fat body was so large that even a grandmaster who was not known for his aggressive style could not do anything to her.

The name of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva was not on the previous weapons list, entirely because she did not use weapons. It would be too absurd for Bai Xiaosheng to include her fat body in the weapons list.

The fact that she was kicked to death so 'easily' by Cha Nan has indeed shocked many people.

Without actually experiencing it, many people overestimated Cha Nan's leg strength and exaggerated the threat he posed.

Although no one immediately stepped forward to challenge them, the formation had already been set up, and Cha Nan and Lu Xiaofeng were surrounded in the center, seemingly unable to escape even if they had wings.

Lu Xiaofeng, however, was still able to laugh.

He laughed and said, "Brother Cha! I am best at group battles. I have the Spirit Finger, which can turn enemies into friends and use other people's swords to kill my enemies. Do you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan smiled and said, "I don't quite believe it. I do know a martial art called Qiankun Da Nuoyi, which does have such an effect. There's also the Yihua Palace's Yihua Jieyu, which seems to have a similar effect."

"Then I'll go up and show you!" Lu Xiaofeng said, then turned his sword upside down and walked in one direction.

But when he walked over, the experts who had surrounded him subconsciously took a few steps back and made way for him, still keeping their distance from Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng's smile became noticeably brighter.

But the smile quickly froze.

Because the person inside the sedan chair spoke up: "As expected of Lu Xiaofeng, you only have less than 30% of your internal strength and true energy left. You're quite arrogant, but you've chosen the wrong person if you want to cheat me at a bet!"

Lu Xiaofeng remained solemn, without offering any defiant rebuttal.

He is indeed still a bit weak right now, and once his true colors are seen through, he won't stand up to scrutiny.

As for the saying "Lingxi Finger uses the opponent's strength to strike back," it can be considered to have some merit, but it is by no means particularly sophisticated. It is almost a whole "Star Shift" away from the "Flower Shifting Jade" technique of the Yihua Palace.

Another interpretation of "Lingxi Finger" is the ability to adapt to changing circumstances after gaining extensive knowledge. Because finger techniques are performed over short distances and are the most flexible and versatile hand skills, they were continuously researched and developed by Lu Xiaofeng until they became another kind of "mystical" martial art in the martial arts world.

To some extent, due to the unique nature of the "Lingxi Finger," Lu Xiaofeng could also be known as Lu Wuwukai, capable of exchanging blows with anyone, but lacking the confidence and certainty to deliver a decisive blow.

That's why he put aside his pride and learned Ye Gucheng's Celestial Immortal Technique.

Because the celestial being descending from the heavens truly made up for his shortcomings.

"Since you've seen through us... then what are you going to do? Swarm us and chop us both to pieces?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were serious, but the cynical smile on his lips never faded.

If we treat the affairs of the world as merely a game in a playground, then nothing is worth paying special attention to, not even life and death.

Lu Xiaofeng never took life and death lightly, but he never resisted or feared death either.

For those who live the life of a wanderer of the martial world, dying in a grand and sweeping conflict would be a fitting end to their lives!

"Both of them are rare talents. To kill them like this is like burning a zither and boiling a crane."

"Why don't you come under my command and join me in our great endeavors?" the person inside the sedan chair extended an invitation.

These two sentences caused Cha Nan's expression to change slightly, and the original plan was quietly altered.

Lu Xiaofeng was about to reply, but Cha Nan had already stopped hiding her intentions.

Bai Sun and Kuai Huo Wang charged out from the left and right sides, unleashing their full Grandmaster aura. No one below the Innate Realm could withstand their attack. Even Innate Realm martial artists could only hold out for a few more rounds before being wiped out.

Different martial artists exhibit different characteristics due to the different martial arts they know.

Some excel at group battles, some at one-on-one combat, some at defeating the weak with the strong, and some at overcoming the strong with the weak.

Unfortunately, both Bai Sun and Kuai Huo Wang were the type to use their strength to attack the weak, like killing chickens and crushing dogs.

The former's palm strikes are insidious and domineering, making them impossible to defend against; the latter combines the secret techniques of various sects, allowing him to easily seize the weaknesses in his opponent's moves and then defeat them in one blow.

The arrival of the two immediately tore apart the original team of over a hundred experts.

At the same time, Cha Nan had already rushed towards the sedan chair!

He wanted to see who was inside the sedan chair and what they looked like.

Is it reckless?
Actually, it's not reckless at all!
In Yuan Suiyun's description, the God of Wealth was a powerful, ruthless, yet magnanimous and charismatic person, but the guy sitting in the sedan chair at this moment did not give Cha Nan that feeling.

Either Yuan Suiyun's description is wrong, after all, he is blind!
Or perhaps the God of Wealth isn't actually on Tianwang Island, and the person in the sedan chair is just a fake, putting on an act.

Given Cha Nan's confidence, if he didn't even dare to take a gamble, then he shouldn't bother venturing into the martial world anymore; he might as well retreat to the fantasy beast world and entertain himself behind closed doors. The instant he approached the sedan chair's curtain, a knife and a sword simultaneously crossed and slashed towards Cha Nan.

Dao only forced Cha Nan back before stopping and guarding the sedan chair door.

But the sword, accompanied by a strange sound, swiftly and viciously pierced towards Cha Nan's chest and abdomen.

The sword tip is like a snake spitting its tongue, while the blade is like a high mountain, indestructible.

Within a single move, two distinct sword styles can be discerned. While appearing extremely contradictory, this sword technique, when combined with a special weapon, almost reaches the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Ang~!

A dragon's roar resounded, and the surging palm force deflected the approaching longsword.

Amidst the swirling palm winds and shockwaves, a dark blue divine deer appeared between Cha Nan's legs.

With a single leap, the divine deer seemed to lose its original limitations in terms of distance.

In a flash, it broke through the double obstacles and stood directly in front of the sedan door.

As the veil fluttered, Cha Nan's gaze seemed to meet that of the person inside the sedan chair, and for a fleeting moment they both saw the threat in each other's eyes.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from between the divine deer's antlers.

The beam of light shot straight towards the sedan chair.

The two women inside the sedan chair immediately cried out in alarm.

boom!
The sedan chair exploded, and a figure flew into the air and landed on the rack where salted fish were drying.

As for the two women, they lay among the broken ruins, unharmed.

The attack power of a mythical beast's skills also largely depends on its own base attack power.

If your base attack power is insufficient, many attacks may look terrifying, but their actual effectiveness is mediocre.

The Cloud Sea Deer is clearly not a mythical beast known for its offensive power.

Unless Cha Nan continuously invests in Lu Tingfeng No. 2, raising its level, using the Palu Concentrator to increase its star rating, and using the Palu Soul to improve its various basic stats.

However, there is no need for this at present.

After all, if we're talking about pure attack power, Cha Nan has other options.

Then look at the 'God of Wealth' who flew out of the sedan chair. This person was dressed in luxurious clothes, but his temperament was noble with a touch of evil. He spread his arms like an eagle and looked down at Cha Nan sitting on the back of the Cloud Sea Deer. A wild smile appeared on his lips: "What a beautiful mount. It's a pity you're using it!"

Cha Nan looked the man up and down, and her previous judgment began to have some doubts.

After all, although this guy didn't match Yuan Suiyun's description, Cha Nan's intuitive feeling was that he was no simple character.

Just then, Bai Sun had already broken through the enemy's formation and was heading towards where Cha Nan was. Seeing Cha Nan confronting someone, he naturally wanted to come to his rescue. From afar, he sent a palm strike carrying a cold wind towards the man who looked like the God of Wealth.

Mysterious Dark Divine Palm!

Fiery Cloud Palm!
The two palms clashed, one ice and one fire, creating a powerful shockwave. The collision of fire and ice sent up a large amount of white smoke.

Bai Sun staggered backward twice in mid-air, and after landing, he looked at his somewhat charred right palm with a solemn expression.

"Master, be careful. His palm technique is strange, and it's not just his unique internal energy!" Bai Sun whispered to Cha Nan.

Standing behind Cha Nan, Lu Xiaofeng felt somewhat lost, as if he had drawn his sword and looked around in bewilderment.

He was prepared to fight to the death, so how come suddenly, strong reinforcements rushed in and killed most of the enemy?

At this moment, the sharks that had been lying in ambush began to unleash their power.

They weren't dealing with the people on the shore, but rather with the warships of Tianwang Island.

The bottoms of many warships had been pierced by the Shark Boys. The Shark Boys, who were using water-based skills in the sea, were much more powerful than when they were on land, and they actually managed to temporarily stop the main force of Tianwang Island at sea.

Without the support of the main force, although there were some experts on the shore, they were unlucky to encounter Chai Yuguan, the King of Joy.

Poisoning, hidden weapons, sneak attacks... there's nothing Chai Yuguan can't do.

Naturally, the number of people who died at his hands was exceptionally high, and they died exceptionally quickly!

"Fire Cloud Blade!"

With a loud shout, the man, who appeared to be the 'God of Wealth,' drew a battle sword from his waist. The moment the blade was drawn, raging flames erupted from the sword. Then, with a slash, long tongues of fire licked towards Cha Nan and Bai Sun.

Such domineering swordsmanship is almost at the level of a grandmaster.

However, judging from the situation when Bai Sun clashed with him just now, this person is definitely not a grandmaster, and may even be barely a grandmaster.
