After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

Li Fan looked at that strikingly handsome face and smiled:

"Okay, by the way, Miss Zhang, do you know about the Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique?"

Zhang Miaozhen's phoenix eyes flickered slightly as she looked at him with some surprise.

"I once saw it in a fragment of an ancient book. This technique was extremely domineering and could forcibly absorb the internal energy of others and convert it into one's own."

"Back then, the Azure Emperor relied on this self-created technique to fight his way up to the Grandmaster level."

"Eunuch Gao, have you heard about the power of this martial arts manual and want to learn it?"

"Not to mention that this technique has been lost for many years, even if it were found, it would have a huge drawback."

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat: "What drawbacks?"

"This technique is too evil."

Zhang Miaozhen said, word by word:

"As long as you absorb enough internal energy, your progress in the early stages will be incredibly fast, and you can quickly advance to the third rank."

"But the problem is that everyone's internal energy is different; some are more cold, some are more hot, some are strong, and some are gentle."

"You inhale them all into your body, like pouring ice water, hot water, strong liquor, and poison into a vat."

"It's fine in the short term, but over time, these internal energies will clash with each other within your body and eventually get completely out of control."

"At best, it will cause qi deviation and demonic possession; at worst, it will cause the body to explode and die."

"Several martial artists once practiced this technique, and in the end, they were blown into a pool of blood mist in full view of everyone."

Oh shit.

Li Fan's lips twitched.

He said that old dog Hai Gonggong would never give him such a domineering technique for free.

So they had ulterior motives; they wanted him dead!

"Miss Zhang, where is the Azure Emperor himself?"

"Didn't he reach the Grandmaster level using this technique? Did he leave behind any method to counteract it?"

Zhang Miaozhen thought for a moment and nodded:

"It is indeed recorded in ancient books that the reason why the Green Emperor was able to escape unscathed was because he had a pure Yang constitution."

"A pure yang constitution can transform all internal energies of different attributes into pure yang energy, so there will be no conflict."

"But very few people know this news."

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat; he was a pure Yang physique!

You damned eunuch, you've shot yourself in the foot! You're doomed now.

Suddenly, the carriage came to a screeching halt.

"Oh no! Enemy attack!"

Terrified shouts came from outside the vehicle from the Imperial Guards.

Li Fan abruptly lifted the carriage curtain, and more than a dozen sharp arrows shot out from the windows on both sides of the second floor.

They flew through the air and crashed into the prison van behind them!

The train carriage was riddled with bullets, turning it into a hedgehog.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of men in black jumped down from the rooftops on both sides of the street, wielding knives and swords, and rushed toward the prison van while shouting.

"kill!"

"Kill Zhang Xuan!"

They kicked open the prison van door, ripped off the hood of the person inside, and discovered that it wasn't Zhang Xuan at all, but just a scapegoat.

"We've fallen for their trap! Retreat!"

The leader of the men in black's expression changed drastically, and he shouted hoarsely.

late.

"kill!!"

Hundreds of Imperial Guards charged out from both sides of the street, their armor clashing like thunder, and the sound of long swords being drawn echoing through the air.

The leader of the men in black saw Li Fan in the carriage ahead, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he pointed his knife at him.

"If we can catch him, we can get away unscathed!"

Seven or eight men in black immediately rushed towards Li Fan's carriage, their blades flashing.

Zhang Miaozhen's phoenix eyes turned cold.

"Eunuch Gao, sit tight."

She drew her sword and jumped off the carriage, her dark outfit fluttering in the cold wind, her high ponytail flying behind her head.

A single sword sweeps across.

"Clang clang clang!"

She deflected three swords that came at her simultaneously with a single strike, sparks flying everywhere.

Zhang Miaozhen lunged forward, her sword tip aimed straight for the throat of the nearest person.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out, and the man clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat. He kicked his legs twice and then stopped moving.

Another man in black lunged from the side, raising his knife to strike the back of her head.

Zhang Miaozhen didn't even turn her head; she swung her sword backhand, the blade striking his face horizontally.

"Snapped!"

This was infused with the internal energy of a peak fourth-grade cultivator, and the force was terrifying.

The man's facial bones were smashed, half of his face was sunken in, and his eyeballs popped out of their sockets.

In an instant, he flew sideways and crashed into the wall, his brains splattering all over it.

"Fourth rank? This woman is a fourth-rank martial artist!"

The remaining men in black were terrified and turned to run away.

Zhang Miaozhen took a step forward, her long legs leaving a trail of afterimages, and her sword light swept across like a bolt of lightning.

"what!"

Two more people screamed and fell to the ground, their chests slashed open by the sword, blood gushing out.

at the same time.

Taking advantage of the chaos, a man dressed in black sneaked up from the back of the carriage and climbed in through a window on the other side of the carriage.

The moment he landed, he saw Li Fan.

A young eunuch sat in the carriage, his face expressionless.

The man in black sneered, "You damned eunuch, come with me..."

Li Fan raised his hand.

A handful of lime powder was thrown at him, covering his head and face.

"ah!!"

The man in black's eyes were burned, and the searing pain made him let out a beast-like scream.

"My eyes! My eyes!!"

Li Fan immediately pounced like a cheetah, his right hand forming a claw with his five fingers, his inner energy surging wildly at his fingertips—Azure Emperor Dragon Claw Hand!

In the past two days, he has absorbed the internal energy of several martial artists and has broken through to the eighth rank.

Although the opponent's strength far surpasses mine, at such close range, a sneak attack and counterattack are enough.

"Snap!"

His five fingers, like iron hooks, gripped the man in black's throat tightly.

In the blink of an eye, his neck twisted to one side at a bizarre angle, his cervical bones shattered, and his head nearly fell off his neck.

The body fell to the ground with a thud, its eyes still wide open, filled with terror and resentment.

Li Fan did not stop.

He crouched down, pressed his right hand against the corpse's dantian, and activated the Azure Emperor's Wood Transformation Technique.

A warm internal energy surged out of the corpse, flowing down his arm and into his body, like a stream merging into a dried-up riverbed.

Comfortable.

so comfy!

He could feel his internal energy had become even stronger, bringing him one step closer to the seventh rank.

"You want to kill me?"

"You'll have to fill this with your lives."

He lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out.

The outside world had become a sea of ​​blood.

The Imperial Guards were the elite of the palace, each member a martial artist of the seventh rank or above, well-trained and with excellent teamwork.

Although those men in black were fierce, they were just outlaws from the underworld and no match for a regular army.

The blades flashed, and screams filled the air.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Most of the dozens of men in black were killed, and the rest were pinned to the ground, their jaws dislocated, and bound hand and foot.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Miaozhen stood with her sword sheathed, the tip still dripping blood.

There were a few bloodstains on her dark outfit, her high ponytail was a little messy, and a few strands of hair clung to her sweaty, tanned cheeks.

Her chest heaved violently, and the two full mounds beneath her tight-fitting clothes trembled slightly with her breath, yet her waist remained ramrod straight.

She was like a blood-stained rose, breathtakingly beautiful.

At this time.

A tall, imposing figure emerged.

It was Zhang Xuan.

He looked at the corpses of men in black scattered on the ground, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but mostly with murderous intent.

Liu Zhengsheng's men are too crazy; they want to kill him right there in the street!

The two sides are now locked in a life-or-death struggle!

Li Fan walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"General Zhang, it's time to go to the palace to file a complaint!"
