Chapter 225: Chapter 119: Moon Eclipse Arrow’s Second Limit Break! Chen Xuan and Wang Kaishan Shocked! Cao Yan in Mortal Danger

And yet, his eyes burned with an irrepressible excitement. They were startlingly bright, as if twinkling with starlight.

The Moon Eclipse Arrow technique included a Killing Move called Eclipse - Shattering. It allowed a user to concentrate their Qi Blood Power into an arrowhead. Once it pierced an enemy’s body, it would detonate, inflicting massive damage.

The very first time he saw Zhao Tianxing use the Moon Eclipse Arrow, Tianxing had employed this exact move: Eclipse - Shattering.

Witnessing the move’s astonishing power was what made him immediately decide to perform the Refinement of the Bengyue Bow and dedicate himself to studying the Moon Eclipse Arrow.

Yet the arrow he had just fired wasn’t Eclipse - Shattering. It was just an ordinary shot.

And yet, this ordinary arrow, simply because it now possessed the new Trait "Breaking Gang," brought a look of sheer ecstasy to Chu Fan’s face and made his breath quicken!

This Breaking Gang Trait, much like Soul Split, coated the entire arrow.

It was unlike Eclipse - Shattering, which required him to concentrate his Qi Blood Power into the arrowhead and wait for it to detonate on impact...

His mind couldn’t help but drift back to his life-or-death battle with Qin Fei, the Hall Master of Cyan Wood Hall, outside the Blood Refining Array a few days ago.

Back then, he had poured all his strength into a single shot, yet Qin Fei had managed to catch the arrow with his bare hands.

If Qin Fei hadn’t been careless enough to neglect his Protective Primordial Qi while cultivating inside the Blood Refining Array, the Soul Split Trait on his arrow would have never been able to harm the man’s soul.

’But now, the Moon Eclipse Arrow has undergone its Second Limit Break...’

’If I were to face someone like Qin Fei again, even if he deployed his Protective Primordial Qi, I could use the Breaking Gang Trait from the Second Limit Break to shatter the Primordial Qi protecting his palms. Then, Soul Split could slip through the opening and tear his soul apart!’

A single glance at the description for Breaking Gang made it clear: the Trait’s sole purpose was to shatter Protective Primordial Qi!

He figured that this Trait could even shatter the defensive shields condensed by experts who had achieved Mortal Transformation!

As for Lin Luoxue, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall—an opponent a notch stronger than Qin Fei, who had once put him under immense pressure...

Chu Fan’s eyes flickered. He still wasn’t sure if, with his current strength, he could kill Lin Luoxue with a single arrow.

But he was certain of one thing: his archery was on a completely different level now. There was no way Lin Luoxue could catch his arrow as easily as she had before!

’It doesn’t matter if you’re a Martial Artist who has reached Mortal Transformation, how dense your internal Primordial Qi is, or how tough the Protective Gang Qi on your body is...’

’Faced with my arrow—imbued with the Breaking Gang Trait and capable of channeling Force on a Microscopic level—your defenses will be shattered! Resistance is futile!’

’The moment the Protective Primordial Qi is broken, Soul Split can slip through the cracks to strike the soul directly, leaving my opponent powerless to resist!’

The thought of the terrifying effect of combining the Breaking Gang and Soul Split Traits made Chu Fan’s heart pound, and a heroic passion rushed through his chest.

A heroic spirit welled up from the depths of his being, feeling as if it could pierce the very sky.

He felt an unbearable itch, wishing he could immediately find an expert of the Mortal Transformation realm to spar with. He wanted to test just what kind of astonishing power his reborn Moon Eclipse Arrow could now unleash!

Chu Fan forced himself to suppress the urge to test his arrows...

He focused his mind inward, his gaze falling upon the Map of Mountains and Rivers panel that floated in the depths of his consciousness.

[Technique: Firewood Splitting Saber Technique (Fourth Limit Break 5/15000) (Traits: Sword Swift as Wind; Sword Heavy as a Mountain; Sword Swift as Lightning; Knife Mastery)]

[Knife Mastery: Perceive the subtlest flaws in an opponent’s techniques with unwavering focus, concentrating solely on the Sword Dao. Execute the pinnacle of Sword Technique with the most minute of movements, allowing for both precise parries and instantaneous counterattacks. Transforms the most basic Sword Skill movements—such as cleaving, slashing, and upward strikes—into a lethal art of slaughter, where every blow targets a vital point.]

After a night of arduous training, his Firewood Splitting Saber Technique had also successfully reached the Fourth Limit Break.

This final Breaking Limit had cost him a great deal of mental effort.

But upon seeing the new "Knife Mastery" Trait manifest, Chu Fan felt that all his previous efforts had been worth it.

This Trait was no small matter...

It elevated his fundamental bladework, his reactions in combat, the precision of his strikes, and his control over his force, all to the wondrous "Microscopic" realm.

It deepened his comprehension of the Sword Dao by another level.

With this Trait’s enhancement, the power of the Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber and Nine Blood Soul Blades he had previously practiced also rose dramatically. Their overall effectiveness jumped a tier, and the openings between his moves were greatly reduced.

Now that a night of cultivation had passed, the twofold exhaustion of mind and body slowly began to well up.

He didn’t dare to casually practice the Nine Blood Soul Blades, especially not near the Seven Stars Gang’s territory.

As for Breaking the Limits of the Nine Blood Soul Blades and Literacy, he would have to wait until the afternoon to think about it.

Chu Fan let out a long, foul breath, the white mist scattering instantly in the morning wind.

He looked up at the eastern horizon and saw it had already turned a pale, fish-belly white. A red sun was gathering its strength, seeming ready to burst forth at any moment and bathe the world in light.

The morning light filtered through the forest, casting dappled shadows on the ground. It also fell upon his young yet resolute face, making the light in his eyes shine all the brighter.

The night’s cultivation had been incredibly fruitful. His strength had increased immensely—it was a true Rebirth.

A new day had arrived, and after this one night, his journey on the Martial Dao had reached a completely new stage.

The road ahead would offer a completely different view.

Chu Fan retrieved each of the arrows he had shot into the trees, wiped them clean, and returned them to his quiver.

Just as he was about to leave the patch of woods he had ravaged, he suddenly felt a stir. As if sensing something, he lifted his gaze toward the small path outside the forest.
