Chapter 230 - 119: Moon Eclipse Arrow’s Second Limit Break! Chen Xuan and Wang Kaishan Shocked! Cao Yan in Mortal Peril
But in the current Seven Stars Gang, only Cao Feng and Li Qingxue had achieved Mortal Transformation.
The Seven Stars Gang had just stabilized, so there were surely still spies from the Seven Stars Castle hidden within...
If either of them left Cyan Yang Ancient City, word would inevitably reach the Seven Stars Castle.
When the Seven Stars Castle’s army attacked, how could the New Seven Stars Gang possibly defend itself without its leaders?
A Cao Family elder beat his chest in frustration. "That boy, Yan’er... he’s always been so clever. How could he be so reckless this time and do something so dangerous?!"
The hall fell deathly silent, the atmosphere so stifling it was hard to breathe.
After a moment, Chen Xuan took a deep breath, his voice firm. "Kaishan and I will go."
Hearing this, gratitude flashed in the eyes of Cao Feng and the others, but he slowly shook his head, his expression growing even more grave.
His voice was hoarse. "I appreciate your kind offer. But... the most terrifying enemy we face right now isn’t the Seven Stars Castle, but the Moon Worship Sect behind it!"
"The Blood Saber Sect is a shadow of its former self, its foundation in ruins, all because of the Moon Worship Sect’s covert machinations!"
"You could help me fend off the Seven Stars Castle, but if this involves the Moon Worship Sect, then..."
"What? The Moon Worship Sect was behind the Blood Saber Sect’s fall?" Chen Xuan and Wang Kaishan’s faces changed drastically as they exclaimed in unison.
They only knew that the Blood Saber Sect had been massacred by Demon Fiends and then picked apart by various factions, but they had no idea such a secret lay hidden beneath it all.
If that was true, the Moon Worship Sect’s power and methods were far more terrifying than they had imagined!
If they were to interfere recklessly, it would be no different from making a mortal enemy of the Moon Worship Sect.
Just as the hall was filled with tension, caught in this dilemma, a calm but clear voice suddenly echoed through the hall. "I’ll go."
Everyone froze, turning to see that the speaker was none other than Chu Fan, who had been standing silently to the side the entire time.
A Cao Family elder instinctively tried to dissuade him. "Chu Fan, don’t be a hero! We’re talking about three experts at the Mortal Transformation level. This is no child’s play!"
"You may be talented, but you haven’t reached Mortal Transformation. How could you possibly fight experts who can wield Primordial Qi?"
But Chu Fan raised a hand, cutting him off. His tone was resolute. "This is an emergency. Please make the arrangements quickly, Master Cao."
’He wasn’t trying to play the hero.’
’Cao Yan was in grave danger, and at the root of it all, it was because of me.’
’Besides, Cao Yan protected me several times in the past. I’ve always remembered that kindness.’
’Now that I’ve broken through to the Entering the Realm of Strength and possess the Vajra Undying Body, an ordinary Martial Artist at the Mortal Transformation level can’t even hurt me.’
’Even if I were to face Lin Luoxue, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall who once put so much pressure on me, I’m now completely confident I could strike her dead on the spot!’
Just then, Zhao Tianxing stepped forward and declared loudly, "I’ll go with Chu Fan!"
Chen Xuan’s expression flickered. Just as he was about to stop Zhao Tianxing from adding to the chaos, Chu Fan spoke up. "Let Tianxing come with me."
"He has now achieved Perfection with his Moon Eclipse Arrow, and his strength is anything but ordinary. Besides, we’ve teamed up many times before. We work perfectly together and have taken down many experts from the Blood Saber Sect and the White Tiger Gang."
"Furthermore, Tianxing was a Hunter for many years and often went into the Mist Marsh. He knows the terrain there better than anyone."
Cao Feng looked at Chu Fan’s calm yet confident eyes, then glanced at the eager Zhao Tianxing beside him, whose aura was steady and strong. His heart, which had felt as heavy as lead, inexplicably lightened.
Hearing this, the elders of the Cao and Li Families couldn’t help but marvel at Zhao Tianxing. "For someone so young, Tianxing has already mastered the Moon Eclipse Arrow to the point of Perfection? Truly incredible!"
One of the elders turned to Chen Xuan and couldn’t resist asking, "Xuan, back in your day, how long did it take you to master the Moon Eclipse Arrow to Perfection?"
Chen Xuan’s chest tightened and he snapped irritably, "Is this really the time to be asking such things?!"
If he weren’t constrained by the man’s seniority and Cao Feng’s presence, he would have loved to fire a cutting remark right back.
Zhao Tianxing grew a little embarrassed by the praise. He scratched his head and stammered, "You seniors flatter me. My talent is nothing special."
"Chu Fan has been learning archery for much less time than me, and he’s already mastered the Moon Eclipse Arrow to Perfection, hasn’t he?"
"What?!"
The moment these words were spoken, the entire hall was stunned!
The elders from the Cao and Li Families were instantly dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg!
Even Cao Feng and Li Qingxue were hearing this for the first time, their faces a mixture of shock and elation!
Chu Fan’s Moon Eclipse Arrow... was at Perfection, too?!
How long had he even been training?!
But this was not the time to delve into the matter.
Cao Feng took a deep breath and nodded. "Good! With the two of you going together, you might just be able to resolve this crisis!"
"Chu Fan, Tianxing, can you two ride horses?"
Chu Fan and Zhao Tianxing glanced at each other, both shaking their heads in embarrassment.
"No matter!" Cao Feng decided instantly, his voice deep. "The Cao and Li Families will each provide an expert from the Entering the Realm of Strength to ride with them. Take them on horseback along the main road to the Mist Marsh at top speed!"
Chen Xuan’s face paled. He snapped, "You old fool, are you really letting Chu Fan and the boy walk into danger?!"
"Silence!" Cao Feng’s eyebrows shot up as he rebuked him. "Fan is my disciple. I know his capabilities better than you do!"
Wang Kaishan’s eyes went wide!
’Looking at Cao Feng’s reaction... could it be that Chu Fan is more than just at the Bone Marrow Forging stage?’
’If he was only at Bone Marrow Forging...’
’How could he dare send someone at the Bone Marrow Forging stage to fight experts of Mortal Transformation?!’
