Chapter 283: Chapter 127: Peerless with Saber and Palm, Vajra Indestructible, Feigning Weakness to Strike the Unprepared, Die

Although the Palm Primordial Qi had neutralized some of the Cold Qi, the terrifying Cold Force still penetrated her body, frantically eroding her heart meridian!

Behind her, a frosty glint in her eyes, Li Qingxue slashed her saber straight for Lin Luoxue’s pale neck, her killing intent absolute!

A Cold Palm devouring her from the front, a killing saber to decapitate her from behind!

Lin Luoxue was trapped in a hopeless predicament!

With what little strength she had, she raised her longsword, just managing to block Li Qingxue’s fatal strike.

But she had no strength left to block the final attack from the front.

So fast it left only a residual image, Chu Fan’s left palm seemed to tear through space itself as it slammed down onto the crown of her head with the force of a thunderbolt!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Lin Luoxue’s eyes flew wide, filled with endless fear, regret, and utter disbelief.

The next moment—

BOOM! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As if struck by a sledgehammer, her head exploded with a deafening crash!

Bits of red and white splattered everywhere.

The Extreme Cold Qi instantly flooded down to her neck, freezing the spurting blood and forming a layer of eerie frost.

Her headless body swayed for a moment before toppling over stiffly, hitting the ground with a dull thud.

Chu Fan didn’t even flinch. Without a glance at the cooling corpse at his feet, he raised a hand and caught the long saber Li Qingxue tossed back to him.

Gripping the hilt, he spun around and charged toward another formidable enemy on the field.

It was Pan Heng, the Vice Fortress Master of Seven Stars Castle, who was locked in a fierce battle with Master Cao!

His strength was on par with Jiang Lianyue’s, making him a core figure in Seven Stars Castle.

If he was killed, Master Cao would be free to join the others in ganging up on the black-robed man in the Divine Power Realm!

Seeing this, the members of the Cao and Li Families were overcome with elation.

The situation on the Seven Stars Castle’s Martial Arts Arena had been turned on its head!

Just moments before, Cao Feng and Cao Yan had been surrounded, each fighting two opponents and barely holding on.

Worse still, two black-robed men in the Divine Power Realm had been looming menacingly, the pressure they exuded suffocating everyone as despair spread like a dark cloud.

Now, that dark cloud had been torn asunder by the sharp glint of an arrow and the edge of a saber!

One black-robed man had been killed, Lin Luoxue and Jiang Lianyue were dead, and another master in black had been felled by an arrow!

The allied forces of the Moon Worship Sect and Seven Stars Castle had lost more than half of their elite combatants.

All that remained were Fortress Master Shen Shikang, Vice Fortress Master Pan Heng, an ordinary man in black, and the final black-robed man, who was locked in a furious, maddened battle with the Cyan Snake!

"Kill!"

Cao Feng’s hair and beard flew about wildly, a heroic spirit and killing intent he hadn’t felt in ages surging sky-high!

His heavy saber swung in wide, powerful arcs, its momentum like a raging tempest. Pan Heng’s mind reeled from the successive deaths of his allies, causing his movements to falter. Seizing the opening, Cao Feng pressed his advantage, forcing Pan Heng back again and again, leaving him in constant peril!

Meanwhile, Cao Yan was even more relentless, his saber technique growing increasingly ferocious. He hammered away at the already outmatched Shen Shikang, who could do nothing but parry, completely unable to counterattack!

But just at that moment—

SKREEE!

The Cyan Snake, locked in battle with the last black-robed man, suddenly let out a sharp, pained cry.

There was, after all, a large gap in power between it and a Divine Power Realm expert. Several bone-deep gashes now marred its tough scales, from which jade-green blood continuously seeped.

No longer daring to fight head-on, the Cyan Snake whipped its tail. Its body shrank rapidly, transforming into a streak of cyan light that shot toward Chu Fan, seeking protection.

The Divine Power Realm expert was incredibly powerful. Even as the Cyan Snake fled, he thrust a palm out through the empty air!

BOOM!

A massive black palm, over ten feet tall, materialized and descended from the sky, slamming down toward the Cyan Snake!

"Sister Bai!"

Startled, Chu Fan thrust his long saber into the ground and snatched the Sunset Bow from his back.

He drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and fired it straight at the descending palm seal!

Carrying the power of Breaking Gang, the Black Kite Arrow flew beneath the palm seal, then suddenly shot upward like a nimble serpent, piercing through it with a loud BANG!

The giant palm shuddered violently, on the verge of dissipating, but it didn’t completely break apart. It slammed the Cyan Snake into the ground, gouging out a deep crater!

RUMBLE!

The entire Martial Arts Arena shook from the impact.

A small snake slithered out from the dust-filled crater.

A gust of wind rolled past, blowing a massive, discarded snakeskin out of the pit.

Having escaped death by shedding her skin, the Cyan Snake transformed into her human form and staggered off into the distance.

Chu Fan had intended to quickly kill Pan Heng and seal their victory, but seeing Xiaobai in peril, he had no choice but to change his target to the black-robed man!

TWANG! TWANG! TWANG!

The bowstring hummed as three Black Kite Arrows shot out in a triangular formation. They didn’t aim for the black-robed man’s vitals, but instead precisely cut off his path to pursue Xiaobai.

A crescent-moon glow swirled around the arrows, forcing the black-robed man to block them with a sweep of his sleeve, momentarily halting his advance.

Seeing the black-robed man look his way, Chu Fan raised his left hand and gave a disdainful "come here" gesture with his finger.

It was a blatant provocation!

The black-robed man was already seething with rage over the death of his comrades and the foiling of his plans.

Seeing the main culprit not only kill his people but also act with such arrogance—it was more than he could bear.

He abandoned the fleeing Cyan Snake. Black qi roiled around him as he shot toward Chu Fan like an arrow loosed from its string!

His killing intent was so thick it was almost tangible!

"Go!"

Chu Fan waved to Li Qingxue, who was nearby, signaling her to quickly go and support Cao Feng.

Li Qingxue gave him a deep look. Her lips moved, and she only had time to get out two words: "Be careful!"

Then, without further hesitation, she spun around, saber in hand, and became a streaking shadow as she joined the battle to surround Pan Heng.

Though only recently recovered from grievous injuries, she had consumed half a root of spirit ginseng and regained some of her combat strength. Her swift saber strikes were as deadly as ever!

...

Seeing he had successfully drawn the black-robed man’s attention, Chu Fan turned and ran.

He didn’t run to regroup with Cao Feng and the others. Instead, he sprinted along the edge of the Martial Arts Arena, heading in the same direction the Cyan Snake had fled.

At the same time, he kept firing the Sunset Bow, loosing a continuous stream of arrows that seemed to have eyes of their own as they flew toward the pursuing black-robed man.

But the black-robed man had already witnessed the bizarre nature of the arrows and their Breaking Gang power. Not daring to face them head-on, he pushed his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step to the absolute limit. His body moved like a phantom, leaving a trail of residual images as he continuously dodged.

Although Chu Fan’s arrows possessed the Pursuit ability, the black-robed man was simply too fast, his body technique too erratic. He narrowly avoided several arrows in a row, which only served to slightly slow his chase.
