Chapter 239 - 121: Thunderous Means, Slaying a Mortal Transformation! Obtaining the Spirit Soldier "Demon-locking Chain
"He’s... he’s dead?"
"Master Bai... was... was killed by Chu Fan with his bare hands?"
"But he was an expert who had undergone Mortal Transformation! In the entire Seven Stars Gang, only a few Hall Masters and the Gang Leader have reached that realm."
"One strike, and his finger bones were embedded in his skull, mixing brains with blood... Is... is this something a person who hasn’t undergone Mortal Transformation can do?"
A dead silence fell over the valley.
The air seemed to freeze solid.
Countless gazes were nailed to Chu Fan’s right hand.
Some people’s teeth chattered. Others clenched their fists so tightly their nails dug into their palms. Some even collapsed to the ground, a gurgling sound escaping their throats.
The beliefs they held in their hearts were shattered, as if struck by a heavy hammer. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
All eyes were on the young man in the center of the field. His black robes were stained with blood, his longbow rested casually against him, and the Black Kite Arrows in his quiver glinted with a cold light. He looked like a God of Slaughter straight from an ancient battlefield!
Even Cao Xingda and Li Qing, who had seen Chu Fan in action before, felt their throats tighten, finding it hard to swallow.
Their hearts hammered in their chests, each beat crashing painfully against their ribs.
They knew Chu Fan was strong, but they never imagined he was strong enough to kill a Mortal Transformation expert with his bare hands!
In their eyes, the hand that had just crushed a skull was more terrifying than the sharpest blade!
"Monster..."
The single word escaped through their clenched teeth.
The two exchanged a look, both seeing utter disbelief in the other’s eyes.
’No wonder he dared to thrash the Cao and Li Clan Elders back then...’
’They were just a group in the Entering the Realm of Strength, unable to even block a single one of his arrows. The only reason he spoke to them politely was out of respect for the Gang Leader.’
Meanwhile, Chu Fan simply shook his right hand casually.
His right hand was enveloped in condensed Qi Blood Power; it hadn’t been stained by a single drop of blood!
The filth had been completely repelled by his Qi Blood Power!
He took out a Black Kite Arrow and once again nocked it to his bow.
The tip of the Black Kite Arrow shone brightly, emitting a faint blue Cold Qi. Like the soul-reaping pen of a death god, it precisely locked onto one of the two men in white who were locked in combat with Cao Yan!
The moment the arrowhead was aimed at him, the man in white felt a chill shoot up from the soles of his feet, straight up his spine to the crown of his head!
The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. He instinctively retracted his attack and leaped back like a startled rabbit, his toes tapping the ground and sending gravel flying!
At the same time, his hands formed a seal. Dark Primordial Qi surged from his palms, coalescing into a half-inch thick shield. The shield’s surface was covered in fine patterns, enveloping him completely.
Seeing this, Chu Fan, without releasing the bowstring, slightly turned his body.
The arrowhead shifted its aim, now pointing at the white-robed man with the severed arm!
The man was already dizzy from blood loss, barely holding on in his desperate fight against Cao Yan. Now, locked on by the arrowhead, he shuddered and retreated as if he had been burned!
With only his left hand, he hastily formed a seal and conjured a shield of his own.
However, this shield was a size thinner than his companion’s and was trembling slightly, as if it could shatter at any moment!
Martial Artists who had undergone Mortal Transformation were the most sensitive to auras.
The faint killing intent from the tip of Chu Fan’s arrow pricked their hearts like a needle.
They knew with certainty whether this arrow could take their lives, so they didn’t even dare to blink.
The pressure on Cao Yan greatly diminished, and he could finally catch his breath.
He staggered back two steps, his sword hand still trembling, but he quickly circulated his Primordial Technique to regulate his breathing.
A smile couldn’t help but tug at the corner of his mouth, and his gaze toward Chu Fan was filled with gratitude.
’If not for this timely deterrence, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have lasted another moment.’
At this point, Cao Xingda and Li Qing suppressed the storm in their hearts and quickly moved to the deeper part of the valley, joining the hundred-odd disciples of the Seven Stars Gang.
The disciples, who originally had vacant looks, now stared intently in Chu Fan’s direction. The fear in their eyes was gradually replaced by awe, and even their trembling subsided slightly.
The four Incense Masters in the Entering the Realm of Strength that Bai Nan had brought were already pale as ghosts, huddled at the edge of the cliff wall.
Their backs were pressed against the cold rock, their teeth chattering so hard they clattered, and they didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
The four had long wanted to flee, but at the valley entrance, Zhao Tianxing stood with his bow drawn. The arrowhead was locked steadily on them, the string pulled into a full circle.
If any of them dared to move, an arrow would be loosed instantly!
Their escape route was completely sealed!
A strange scene began to unfold: Chu Fan’s arrowhead moved slowly between the two Moon Worship masters, like the Yama Judge’s Pen.
Whichever one it pointed to would immediately grit his teeth and frantically channel his Primordial Qi.
The dark glow of their shields would intensify as cold sweat dripped down their cheeks, soaking their collars.
When the arrowhead moved away, the other man, pale from the exertion of Primordial Qi, would hastily drop his shield to catch his breath.
But the moment the shield dissipated, Chu Fan’s arrowhead, like a shark smelling blood, would SWISH and point right back at him!
The man would shudder in fright, scrambling to conjure his shield once more.
In this cycle, the two were played for fools by Chu Fan and his bow. Their faces were ashen, their chests heaving violently, but they couldn’t even utter a single threat!
That strange Black Kite Arrow had become an inescapable nightmare in their minds!
Suddenly, Chu Fan tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the members of the Seven Stars Gang behind him. His voice was as casual as if he were making small talk. "Did you all see that clearly?"
"This move is called..."
"Toying with monkeys!"
"..." Hearing this, the disciples of the Seven Stars Gang were all stunned.
The corners of some of their mouths instinctively turned up, but they quickly raised a hand to cover them.
’Toying with two Mortal Transformation masters as if they were monkeys?’
’If word of this got out, no one would believe it.’
But the scene just now had been exactly that...
Whenever Chu Fan’s arrowhead moved, the two men in white would panic.
It was truly like toying with monkeys!
The crowd wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, their expressions turning incredibly strange!
"You’re courting death!"
The uninjured man in white finally couldn’t take it anymore and sneered coldly.
He spun around and struck several jagged, bizarrely shaped rocks nearby with his palm.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
With three muffled thuds, three millstone-sized boulders were sent flying toward Chu Fan by the Palm Force, whistling through the air.
Sand and gravel flew wherever the stones passed!
But Chu Fan didn’t meet them head-on.
His toes tapped lightly on the ground as he executed the Swallow Form Body Technique from the Twelve Forms Fist. He lifted his knee and turned sideways, the corner of his black robe cutting a sharp arc through the wind.
