Chapter 187: Chapter 113: The Resentful Spirit Fuses, Gravely Wounding Lin Luoxue; Cao Feng Regrets, Stirring a Storm

Chu Fan came to a sudden stop, his Long Saber angled toward the ground, ready for a fight.

He didn’t know Lin Luoxue’s true strength.

But from the speed of her Body Technique and the intensity of her aura, it was clear she was far stronger than Qin Fei.

At this point, he had the ability to confront the Hall Masters of the three major gangs head-on.

Just moments ago, relying on his Soul Splitting Skill and the protection of his Vajra Undying Body, he had caught Qin Fei, the Hall Master of Cyan Wood Hall, by surprise and cut him down.

Because of this, he wasn’t afraid of making an enemy of the Seven Stars Gang.

What he did worry about was all the Hall Masters joining forces to hunt him down.

If only one or two came, it wouldn’t be so easy for them to take his life!

However, Lin Luoxue’s strength still exceeded his expectations.

Back when he’d gone to the Blood Saber Sect to steal medicinal herbs, he had encountered their Hall Master, Huayang. Although he hadn’t fought Huayang himself, he had watched him battle Fang Qingqing and gotten a rough measure of his power.

Forget comparing Huayang to Lin Luoxue; he wasn’t even close to Qin Fei’s level!

This Lin Luoxue was, without a doubt, the strongest enemy he had ever faced.

Chu Fan’s mind raced.

’These people from the Seven Stars Gang are actually using children to cultivate Demon Techniques! They must have used these techniques to drastically increase their Cultivation, all without Master Cao knowing a thing!’

Countermeasures flashed through Chu Fan’s mind one after another.

’This Lin Luoxue is extremely cautious. She had already activated her Protective Primordial Qi when she attacked.’

’That’s why my Soul-Splitting Arrow didn’t work.’

’If that arrow had landed, her power would have plummeted in an instant!’

"Senior, is there any way for me to get out of this alive?"

Chu Fan gripped his Long Saber tightly. His senses on high alert, he whispered to the Paperman tucked inside his robes.

The voice of the Paperman, Yue Mankong, replied, "To be honest, this old man has dozens of Divine Techniques and ten thousand Miaofa that could slay this woman..."

Chu Fan was overjoyed to hear this.

But then the voice added, "And yet, I can’t use a single one of them."

’Then just drop dead...’ Chu Fan cursed inwardly.

Yue Mankong spoke again. "Have that Resentful Spirit lend me some of its power. I might be able to suppress this woman for a moment. Then, you can strike and kill her!"

"It’s that simple?" Chu Fan froze for a second, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Little sister, could you lend him some of your power?"

The White Bone in his robes remained perfectly still.

Chu Fan fell silent.

’Looks like I’m on my own!’

The blade had cut to the bone; he had no choice but to fight.

With his back against the wall, it was victory or death.

Chu Fan gripped his Long Saber, his Qi Blood Power churning like a great river.

The blade of the Long Saber in his hand turned a shocking blood-red!

Lin Luoxue glanced at the Long Saber, anger flashing in her eyes. "The Blood Saber Sect still dares to struggle? Do you really think my Seven Stars Gang won’t dare to raze your Main Altar to the ground?"

Her voice was delicate and pleasing, soft as it entered the ear.

Yet the killing intent within it was completely undisguised, chilling one to the bone.

Chu Fan lowered his voice, making it raspy. "If that’s the case, and your little lover Qin Fei was killed by an ant like me who hasn’t even passed the fifth stage of Foundation Establishment—what does that make him? What kind of sorry excuse for a man was he?"

"You’re courting death!" Lin Luoxue snorted. Her figure blurred, and as if using the Shrinking Inches technique, she crossed over twenty feet in a single step to appear at Chu Fan’s right!

She didn’t even bother to draw her sword, simply smashing her scabbard toward the back of Chu Fan’s head with her left hand.

’So fast!’

Startled, Chu Fan instantly activated his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step. He ducked low, evading the blow by a hair’s breadth and circling around behind Lin Luoxue.

The blood-red Long Saber slashed diagonally, aiming straight for Lin Luoxue’s right foot!

"What!"

Lin Luoxue’s eyes were filled with disbelief. She hurriedly turned, parried the Long Saber with her scabbard, and her right foot shot out like lightning, striking Chu Fan squarely in the chest!

THUMP!

Chu Fan let out a muffled grunt. His feet sank deep into the earth as he slid back several feet, carving a long trench in the ground.

’Such a fast kick! So much power!’

Chu Fan’s pupils contracted.

He thought to himself, ’Even if Qin Fei and Duan Tianhong joined forces, I doubt they could defeat Lin Luoxue!’

’If it weren’t for my Vajra Undying Body, that kick would have taken half my life!’

’To think the youngest Hall Master of the Seven Stars Gang is this powerful!’

But at this moment, Lin Luoxue’s face was also filled with shock.

The scene she had envisioned—Chu Fan with broken bones, spitting up blood—had not happened. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

’How is this possible!’

’Even though I didn’t use my full power, that kick should have been enough to severely injure a Martial Artist at the Entering the Realm of Strength!’

’No one below the Mortal Transformation realm should be able to take a blow like that head-on!’

"Hmph!" Lin Luoxue said coldly. "Another piece of trash who relies on Inner Armor for protection, just like Duan Tianhong."

"But even with Inner Armor, I can still smash you to a pulp with a single punch!"

Chu Fan raised an eyebrow and activated his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step again, leaving a trail of residual images in his wake.

"Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step?" Lin Luoxue’s face fell as she recognized the Body Technique. "You’re from the Moon Worship Sect?!"

In the instant she was stunned, Chu Fan’s figure split into three, all of them slashing wildly at her from different directions.

"Hmph!"

Lin Luoxue let out a soft snort.

’If my opponent were on my level, an attack like this might fluster me.’

’But how could an ant who hasn’t even passed the fifth stage of Foundation Establishment possibly shake me? Even thirty of them wouldn’t be a threat.’

A formidable aura suddenly erupted from her.

BOOM!

A fierce gale erupted from her, sweeping out in all directions.

Incredibly, by sensing how the gale rustled the hem of his clothes, Lin Luoxue instantly pinpointed Chu Fan’s true body!

She paid the incoming Long Saber no mind, casually parrying it with her scabbard.

Then, with a sudden twist of the scabbard—

CLACK!

The Long Saber in Chu Fan’s hand flew from his grasp!

"An ant trying to shake a tree. You don’t know your own strength!"

Lin Luoxue sneered, about to cripple this ant with a palm strike.

But to her surprise—

Having lost his weapon, Chu Fan didn’t retreat. Instead, he pressed forward, closing the distance!

His hands moved like butterflies flitting through flowers, bypassing the defense of her scabbard. One palm struck Lin Luoxue squarely on the chest!

THWACK!

Lin Luoxue’s expression changed instantly as she stumbled back three consecutive steps.

"Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand!"

Her Protective Primordial Qi had been shattered! She was horrified.

SHIIING!

With Yin Cold Qi rampaging through her body, Lin Luoxue could finally bear it no longer. Her long sword flew from its scabbard!
