Chapter 240: Chapter 121: Thunderous Methods, Annihilating a Mortal Transformation! Acquiring the Spirit Soldier "Demon-locking Chain

The first strange rock grazed past his waist, shattering into dust against the mountain wall.

Immediately after, he activated his Hawk Form Body Technique, leaning back until his body was nearly parallel with the ground.

The second strange rock skimmed over his head, the air current it generated messing up his hair.

When the last strange rock flew at him, Chu Fan lightly slapped the ground with his right hand, executing a Hawk Form flip to easily dodge it.

This series of dodges was as smooth as flowing water, leaving the crowd behind him stunned.

But when the two white-robed men across from him saw this, their expressions eased slightly, their previous apprehension gone.

’In the end, he’s just some kid who hasn’t reached Mortal Transformation. He isn’t a Master of Primordial Qi. So what if his Qi Blood Power is strong?’

’He only managed to kill Bai Nan because of that bizarre archery skill.’

’As long as we dodge his arrows, killing him will be as easy as flipping our hands!’

But then they saw Chu Fan slowly put away his bow, slinging it over his back, and his right hand gripped the hilt of the Yan Chi Saber on his back.

"CLANG!"

The Long Saber left its sheath, its blade reflecting the faint light in the valley, a cold, silver gleam flowing across its surface.

His left hand reached into his robes and pulled out an emerald-green fruit.

The fruit exuded a faint, sweet fragrance that drifted on the wind toward the people behind him, causing many to instinctively take a deep breath.

Chu Fan tossed the fruit to Cao Yan.

Cao Yan reached out and caught it, feeling the fruit was cool to the touch and slightly resilient.

"Senior Brother Cao, eat this fruit and rest for a bit."

"Leave the rest to me."

Chu Fan’s voice was as calm as ever, but he had his own calculations in mind...

’My archery’s Breaking Gang and Soul Split Traits are my bottom cards. That arrow just now that heavily wounded Bai Nan only showed others that my archery is bizarre; they don’t know its specific Traits.’

’If I use my arrows to break their shields, the power of Breaking Gang will be exposed.’

’There’s no need to waste a bottom card to kill these two.’

’Right now, my Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber is close to Breaking its Limit. With the Traits of Sword Heavy as a Mountain, Sword Swift as Lightning, and Knife Mastery, plus the Vajra Undying Body as a foundation, it’s more than enough to deal with them.’

’First, I’ll take out the one with the severed arm as quickly as possible!’

The wind in the valley suddenly tightened. Sand and gravel struck the rock walls with a CRACKLE, as if providing an accompaniment for the impending fight.

"Be careful."

Cao Yan nodded and popped the fruit into his mouth.

Sweet juice exploded on his tongue, and a surge of pure Spiritual Mechanism instantly flowed through his limbs and bones.

The exhaustion from the previous intense battle began to rapidly fade.

His depleted Primordial Qi was recovering at an astonishingly fast rate...

"This fruit..."

A flash of delight appeared in Cao Yan’s eyes.

As a genius of the Cao Family, he had seen many Treasure Plants, but rarely had he encountered a fruit that contained such a surging amount of Spiritual Mechanism.

’It seems Chu Fan’s "Corpse Handling" these past few days has really yielded some good stuff!’

His expression shifted slightly. He didn’t retreat too far, instead standing to the side with his saber in hand, his eyes fixed on the center of the field.

On the other side, the two white-robed men from the Moon Worship Sect saw that Chu Fan was actually planning to face them alone, and had even switched from a bow to a saber. They were so incredulous they laughed.

Their laughter was filled with ridicule...

’To think a junior from the tiny Cyan Yang Ancient City could be so arrogant and ignorant!’

The only thing they feared was Chu Fan’s archery.

Now that he had abandoned his bow for a saber, he was practically courting death!

The two exchanged a look and advanced simultaneously, closing in on Chu Fan in a pincer formation.

The black gloves they wore on their hands glinted coldly, and sharp spikes were faintly visible at their fingertips, clearly coated in poison.

Over on the Seven Stars Gang’s side, everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats again.

Someone couldn’t help but mutter, "He’s being too overconfident..."

"He should have let Senior Brother Cao Yan hold one off while Chu Fan kills the other!"

"How can he fight two at once?"

Just as everyone wore complicated expressions, the two white-robed men suddenly moved!

They pushed their Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step to the absolute limit. Their figures blurred into two indistinct Residual Images that trailed faint white light, charging toward Chu Fan, wrapped in fierce killing intent.

The uninjured man was faster. As he moved, he left a WHOOSHING wake in the air, arriving before Chu Fan in the blink of an eye!

Chu Fan held his saber in one hand, its tip angled toward the ground.

Grains of sand clinging to the blade slowly trickled off.

His breathing was steady, his chest rising and falling gently, but the Qi Blood in his body surged like a great river, a faint red halo glowing beneath his skin.

’Using Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step and Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand in front of me?’

’What a joke! It’s like teaching a fish to swim!’

SWISH!

The uninjured white-robed man attacked first. His right hand formed a claw, its fingertips glowing with a faint blue Cold Qi, as he sent an Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand straight for Chu Fan’s throat!

The wind from his claw strike was fierce, carrying a bone-chilling cold!

The other white-robed man, the one with the severed arm, formed a palm with his remaining left hand and struck at Chu Fan’s lower back, aiming to cut off his retreat.

Although one was fast and one was slow, they coordinated perfectly, one in front and one behind, sealing off all of Chu Fan’s escape routes!

Just at this critical moment, something unexpected happened!

From the direction of the valley entrance, a dark stream of light suddenly shot through the air—it was Zhao Tianxing!

He had been watching the field intently and had finally found the perfect moment to strike.

The shaft of the Black Kite Arrow was wrapped in dark patterns. It was nearly silent as it tore through the air, stirring only the faintest of air currents.

Its trajectory was also incredibly cunning, aimed precisely at an opening that had appeared at the uninjured white-robed man’s waist and abdomen due to his exaggerated movements while using his body technique!

But Zhao Tianxing was, after all, only at the Bone Marrow Forging realm. Even though his Moon Eclipse Arrow had reached Perfection and his timing and angle were exquisitely perfect, the force behind the arrow wasn’t particularly strong—far from enough to threaten a Martial Artist who had reached Mortal Transformation. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The uninjured white-robed man frowned, a wave of irritation rising in his heart.

’This sneak attack can’t hurt me, but with a powerful enemy like Chu Fan in front, any distraction could easily create an opening!’

He had no choice but to retract some of his Palm Force and hastily dodge to the side.

Because of his dodge, the Black Kite Arrow that was originally aimed at him now shot straight toward Chu Fan’s chest!

But Chu Fan wasn’t flustered in the slightest, as if he had anticipated this all along.

His left hand shot out like lightning, precisely grabbing the arrow’s shaft, and then with a flick of his wrist...

SWISH!

The Black Kite Arrow shot directly toward the white-robed man with the severed arm!
