A Martial Saint in Chaotic Times: Starting with Grinding Proficiency

Chapter 99 Demonic Ape Transformation

Rainwater washed over the corpses, diluting the pools of blood and staining the entire square's bluestone slabs red.

The remaining bandits cowered in the distance, their weapons trembling, no longer possessing the slightest courage to step forward and die.

They gazed at the figure standing amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood; it was not human, but a demon god.

Xue Min's chest heaved violently, each breath aggravating the injuries to her internal organs.

The number of armored soldiers around her has dwindled from the initial forty or fifty to less than twenty, all of them wounded and exhausted.

She had exchanged nearly a hundred blows with Duan Fei, and the signs of decline in her Qi and blood at the Yi Jin Jing level were already evident. At this moment, she was only holding on by sheer willpower.

Her gaze swept across the battle lines and landed in the center of the square.

The figure remained upright, his breath steady and long, showing no signs of exhaustion.

Is this still considered a secret technique?

What secret technique could possibly allow someone to continue slaughtering nearly a hundred skilled fighters for half an hour without showing any signs of weakness?

This completely overturned her understanding of martial arts.

Not only her, but Du Chong and Qin Lie, who were hiding in the distance, also fell into a long silence.

Qin Lie has always been arrogant and boasts of his extraordinary talent, claiming to be unmatched among his peers.

But after witnessing Zhou Yuan's fighting prowess today, for the first time in his life, he put away his arrogance.

That was not a battle on the same level.

The one suffering the most on the field was none other than Zhao Qingfeng.

The revenge for the murder of their son remained unavenged, and instead, nearly half of the elite forces of Qinglong Village were lost.

Even if we win today, Qinglong Village will be severely weakened and could be swallowed up by other villages in Black Wind Mountain at any time.

He stared intently at Zhou Yuan, and for the first time, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, which was contorted with anger.

Is this really a secret technique?

No, it must be!

It must be some kind of forbidden technique with an extremely long duration! If we can drag this out any longer, we can definitely wear him down!

Zhao Qingfeng's mindset had already become unbalanced. He raised his trembling hand, preparing to give the final order: to use the lives of everyone else to fill that chasm.

"Boss, you can't fight anymore!"

Duan Fei's voice boomed in his ears.

"If we keep fighting, all our brothers will die! Qinglong Village will be finished!"

Duan Fei's eyes were bloodshot; he too wished he could tear Zhou Yuan to pieces, but his remaining rationality told him he had to stop.

The law of the jungle prevails; it's the only rule in Black Wind Mountain. A tiger without claws and teeth will only be devoured by a pack of wolves.

Zhao Qingfeng's raised hand suddenly stopped, and a sliver of clarity returned to his mind, which had been clouded by hatred.

Duan Fei stopped looking at him, picked up the iron rod, and strode towards the center of the square.

"Boss, rest a bit. I'll go check him out! Let's see how long his secret technique can last!"

His figure was like a moving mountain, carrying a heavy sense of oppression as he faced Zhou Yuan.

Seeing this, Xue Min was about to remind Zhou Yuan to be careful, but she swallowed the words back.

remind?

It seems that Zhou Yuan has the upper hand now.

As Zhou Yuan watched Duan Fei approach, the excitement he felt after the killing gradually subsided.

The venting is almost over.

It's time to end this quickly.

After their recent exchange, he had a clear understanding of his current strength.

At the Blood Exchange Realm, one is invincible.

Even someone as powerful as Zhao Qingfeng, at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, couldn't withstand his own pure power.

Moreover, Lü Chong and Xue Min are in very poor condition, and we must get them away as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

He slowly adopted a boxing stance, no longer simply unleashing his power.

The power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is infused into the moves of the Mountain Shaking Fist.

His combat power will be even more terrifying.

"Boy, prepare to die!"

Duan Fei roared, and before he was even several feet away, the iron rod in his hand had already left his grasp, whistling through the rain like a poisonous dragon, and pierced straight into Zhou Yuan's chest.

Zhou Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, but instead shifted his footing.

Leave no trace in the snow.

The figure left an afterimage in place and instantly closed in on Duan Fei.

What incredible speed!

Duan Fei was startled, but before he could react, a fist rapidly enlarged in his field of vision.

Mountain-Shaking Fist!

Duan Fei was, after all, a veteran with rich combat experience. In the critical moment, he twisted his waist and his arm grew rapidly, actually moving faster than others to grab the thrown iron rod back into his hand and hold it horizontally in front of his chest.

Bang!

The fist collided head-on with the iron rod.

An overwhelming force surged forth, draining the color from Duan Fei's face. He finally understood firsthand the terrifying power that Zhao Qingfeng had faced earlier.

This is simply beyond human capability!

The next moment, his tall body flew backward uncontrollably.

"open!"

Duan Fei roared in mid-air, forcefully twisting his body and slamming the iron rod in his hand into the ground.

boom!

The iron rod sank nearly halfway into the bluestone ground, creating a long trench that dissipated the terrifying force into the earth, which allowed him to barely stop his momentum.

Even so, the tiger's mouths of his hands, which were gripping the stick, were completely cracked and bleeding profusely.

"Truly domineering!" Duan Fei felt his internal organs churning, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter. "I refuse to believe you can maintain this state forever!"

He suddenly pulled out the iron rod.

"The Heaven-Shattering Staff with a Thousand Arms!"

Duan Fei roared, his staff technique suddenly changed, and the staff shadows covered Zhou Yuan's entire body.

This is a unique skill he created by combining Tongbei Fist and staff techniques. Relying on the advantages of the weapon, he specifically targets the weak points in Zhou Yuan's defense, intending to avoid the head-on collision of that terrifying power.

However, Zhou Yuan's footwork was too strange.

I always managed to evade his tricky attacks by the slightest margin.

Not only that, Zhou Yuan took the initiative, launching relentless attacks that forced him to defend, resulting in repeated clashes of strength.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

It was another three simple punches.

Each collision caused Duan Fei's blood and qi to surge even more violently.

What kind of ghostly technique is this?!

Duan Fei roared inwardly, realizing that not only had his offensive been easily neutralized, but he was also being led by the nose by his opponent, finding himself in the most unfavorable situation.

puff!

After another exchange of blows, Duan Fei could no longer suppress his injuries, spitting out a mouthful of blood and staggering backward.

He looked down and saw that the steel rod in his hand, made of refined steel and wrought iron, was now bent into a terrifying arc.

This secret technique—why isn't it over yet!

Duan Fei was horrified; Zhou Yuan's demeanor was eerie in every way.

Since that's the case...

"A secret technique? I have that too!"

Duan Fei's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly ripped his shirt apart, revealing his bronze, muscular physique.

"Ape Demon Transformation!"

With a roar, his already imposing body swelled up even more, veins bulging like snakes beneath his skin, and a violent and ferocious aura erupted.

In the rain, he seemed to transform into a real humanoid giant ape.

That sheer oppressive aura sent a chill down the spines of those watching from afar.

This is Duan Fei's trump card, a desperate gamble!
