Chapter 262: Chapter 124: Blood Saber Sect Takes the Blame Again; Third Limit Break in Literacy, Breaking Through to Mortal Transformation

"We should probably lay low for a bit."

In a place like Cyan Yang Ancient City, even a major clan or a large gang wouldn’t have more than a few experts who’ve undergone Mortal Transformation.

For three of them to be killed in one go... the Moon Worship Sect will definitely be furious.

Chu Fan suddenly remembered the Demon-locking Chain he had acquired. "Strange," he asked, "why didn’t those three have any of those Talismans or Spirit Soldiers on them tonight?"

Xiaobai explained, "Ordinary experts at the Mortal Transformation level can’t get their hands on those kinds of Talismans. Spirit Soldiers like the Demon-locking Chain are even more precious. How could a common Moon Worship Cultist possibly possess one?"

"Your teacher, Cao Feng, is the Gang Leader of the Seven Stars Gang now. Have you ever seen him with a Spirit Soldier?"

"That Flaming Dragon Saber in Cao Yan’s hands is only at the Magic Artifact Level..."

"It can’t even compare to a Spirit Soldier."

"..." Chu Fan was speechless.

He bent down and pulled a Demon-locking Chain out from under his bed.

The dark links of the chain gleamed with a cold light under the lamp.

Staring at the chain, he thought of his Vajra Undying Body again.

He always felt that this Vajra Undying Body should have different levels.

Every time he took a medicinal bath or consumed a Thunder God Body Tempering Pill, he could feel a slight improvement.

It was for this very reason that he was always extra cautious when fighting experts who had undergone Mortal Transformation.

He had relied on his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step to dodge their attacks on multiple occasions.

The only exception was when he faced Lin Luoxue, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall from Seven Stars Castle. Her Sword Techniques were so fast that he couldn’t dodge in time and took several hits.

But in the end, Lin Luoxue’s sword had failed to break through his Vajra Undying Body.

’But what if I run into someone stronger than Lin Luoxue?’

’Or what if Lin Luoxue had a Spirit Soldier?’

Chu Fan glanced at Xiaobai. Judging by the soaring Demonic Qi she emitted, she was probably a bit stronger than Lin Luoxue.

He asked thoughtfully, "Xiaobai, what’s your level of Cultivation?"

"Hm?" Xiaobai narrowed her eyes.

’That was too forward...’

Asking about someone’s Cultivation was like asking a woman her age.

If anyone else had asked so bluntly, she probably would have slapped them across the face already.

But she glanced at the Elixir still in her hand, rolled her eyes, and said slowly, "The Demon Race and the Human Race follow different cultivation paths, and our Cultivation Realms are vastly different... I’m a Spirit Demon. If you absolutely have to measure my strength by human standards, I’d be at the Fifth Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm, which is the peak of the Spirit Awakening Realm."

"But my physical strength is far greater than even a human at the Divine Power Realm."

"That’s an innate advantage of the Demon Race, and it’s also been honed over several hundred years."

"Fifth Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm..." Chu Fan repeated in a low voice, now having a better understanding.

Back in the Mist Marsh, if those two men in white hadn’t had the Demon-locking Chain, Xiaobai would have probably beaten the crap out of them.

It was a shame Xiaobai couldn’t just unleash her Demonic Qi in the city. Otherwise, he really would have wanted to spar with her to see just how strong he had become.

Chu Fan thought to himself: ’If I played all my Bottom Cards, I should be a notch stronger than Lin Luoxue now.’

The last time he faced Lin Luoxue, he couldn’t keep up with her speed at all and was hit by several consecutive strikes.

If not for his Vajra Undying Body, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But now, he was confident he could kill Lin Luoxue!

An idea struck Chu Fan, and he got up and walked out into the courtyard.

"Xiaobai, be a pal and hit me with this saber."

He handed her his personal saber, wanting to test the limits of his Vajra Undying Body.

But as Xiaobai took the saber, he added, "Control your strength, and don’t let any Demonic Qi leak out... it’ll be trouble if someone notices."

Xiaobai frowned. "Are you sure?"

Chu Fan nodded. "Use thirty percent of your strength first."

Xiaobai took the saber and swung it lightly. The blade struck Chu Fan’s chest as if hitting metal and stone, letting out a sharp CLANG.

Chu Fan felt a tremendous force slam into him, and he stumbled back uncontrollably for over twenty feet before managing to steady himself.

He looked down through his torn robe and saw only a white mark on his chest. His skin wasn’t even broken.

"He’s an absolute monster..."

Xiaobai’s mouth twitched as she watched.

"Fifty percent," Chu Fan said in a low voice.

Xiaobai put more force into it. As the blade fell again, Chu Fan was sent flying straight out of the doorway!

He quickly got to his feet and looked at his chest again. Still no injury.

"Eighty percent!"

Chu Fan barked.

Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then raised the saber and brought it down viciously!

BOOM!

Amid the massive boom, a terrifying force exploded against Chu Fan’s chest!

The Long Saber snapped on impact!

Chu Fan’s body was sent flying like a meteorite!

Outside the courtyard, Cao Xingda and Li Qing heard the commotion and rushed over, just in time to see Chu Fan slowly getting up from the ground.

"What the..."

Both men were alarmed—the noise just now had been immense.

Chu Fan patted his chest and said, "I’m training."

’Is this training or just getting beaten up?’

Cao Xingda and Li Qing glanced furtively at the Cyan Snake in the courtyard and didn’t dare ask any more questions.

Chu Fan walked back into the courtyard.

"Are you okay?"

Xiaobai rushed forward.

Chu Fan shook his head. "I’m fine... but I’m guessing if you had used another thirty percent of your power, I would’ve been injured."

"Where would I even get another thirty percent?" Xiaobai said, astonished. "I used eighty percent of my power in that last strike!"

"From the looks of it, if I want to injure you, I’d have to use one hundred percent of my power and some of my powerful Martial Arts..."

Chu Fan nodded, subconsciously rubbing his chest.

His Vajra Undying Body was still intact, but Xiaobai’s Primordial Qi had penetrated his body, making his own qi and blood churn. It took a moment for him to calm it down.

"You really are a monster!"

Xiaobai exclaimed in amazement, "The toughness of your physical body is even greater than that of a Great Demon!"

Chu Fan didn’t respond. He took out the Demon-locking Chain again. "Try this... fifty percent strength first."

Xiaobai poured her Primordial Qi into the chain, and densely packed, sharp spikes instantly emerged from its surface.

She took a deep breath. With a loud RATTLE, the Demon-locking Chain whipped across Chu Fan’s body!

Chu Fan let out a muffled grunt, his body flying away effortlessly, like a willow leaf in the wind.

This time, the spikes on the Demon-locking Chain pierced his skin!
