Chapter 284: Chapter 127: Peerless Saber and Palm, Vajra Indestructible, Feigning Weakness, Striking the Unprepared, Die

’This can’t go on!’

Chu Fan’s mind raced.

Seeing that the black-robed man was too fast to be shot down quickly, his gaze swept across the battlefield, and he instantly changed his target!

TWANG!

The bowstring sang as another arrow flew.

But this time, the arrow wasn’t aimed at the black-robed man. Instead, it carved a wicked arc toward the weakest link on the field... Shen Shikang, who was being overwhelmed by Cao Yan!

Although Shen Shikang was the former Gang Leader of the Seven Stars Gang, his strength was merely a product of his status. His actual Cultivation wasn’t even on par with Lin Luoxue’s.

If his father hadn’t been the old Gang Leader of the Seven Stars Gang, the position would never have fallen to him!

At this moment, Shen Shikang was using all his strength to deal with Cao Yan’s tempestuous assault when he suddenly felt a bone-chilling killing intent assail him from the side.

’Not good!’

Shen Shikang’s expression changed dramatically. He wanted to dodge, but Cao Yan’s saber had already blocked most of his escape routes!

When experts clash, victory is decided in an instant!

Although he twisted his body with all his might to avoid a fatal blow to the heart, the Black Kite Arrow still pierced his left shoulder with a SQUELCH. The arrowhead punched through bone, sending a shower of blood into the air! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The excruciating pain and the force of the impact made him freeze, his vision darkening.

"Die!"

How could Cao Yan possibly let go of this golden opportunity?

A vicious glint flashed in his eyes as he brought his heavy saber down with an indomitable aura, as if to tear everything asunder!

CRACK!

Blood sprayed! Shen Shikang’s left arm was severed at the shoulder, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream as he was sent flying!

"!!!"

Pan Heng’s face went pale with shock. He turned to flee but was completely pinned down by Cao Feng’s mountain-heavy Sword Momentum, unable to break free!

At that same moment, Li Qingxue had already closed in behind Shen Shikang!

In an instant, Cao Yan’s ferocious heavy saber and Li Qingxue’s swift blade—one strike as heavy as thunder, the other as fast as a meteor—closed in on the severely wounded, one-armed Shen Shikang from both sides, forming a fatal pincer!

With only one arm, Shen Shikang could not fend them off. His eyes filled with despair and regret as he swung his longsword in vain.

In just three moves...

Cao Yan knocked his sword aside, and the glint of Li Qingxue’s saber flashed across his neck like lightning!

A head, its face a mask of terror and indignation, soared into the sky!

The headless body swayed twice before crashing heavily to the ground!

Shen Shikang, the Fortress Master of Seven Stars Castle, was slain!

"A good kill!"

On the Martial Arts Arena, long-suppressed emotions finally erupted. A deafening, tide-like cheer swept across the grounds!

The sound was filled with the ecstasy of survival and the sweet satisfaction of vengeance!

Cao Feng, Cao Yan, and Li Qingxue’s momentum was unstoppable. They instantly closed in, trapping the last two enemies, Pan Heng and the sole remaining man in black, in the center!

The outcome was decided!

However, on the other side...

In a frantic chase, Chu Fan and the black-robed man had already left the confines of the Martial Arts Arena!

The black-robed man pushed his speed to the absolute limit, and the distance between him and Chu Fan was closing, bit by bit!

The terrifying killing intent was almost palpable as it locked tightly onto Chu Fan.

Seeing Chu Fan being pursued by a Divine Power Realm expert, Cao Feng and the others felt their hearts leap into their throats. They were frantic with worry but couldn’t break away to help him.

’We have to finish off Pan Heng and the other one who are still resisting!’ Cao Feng and the others increased the speed of their attacks.

All around them, experts from the Cao and Li Families at the Entering the Realm of Strength had blocked all of Pan Heng’s escape routes!

Meanwhile, in the distance, Chu Fan’s expression remained calm. As he sprinted, he keenly sensed his surroundings.

Ahead and to his right, Cyan Snake Xiaobai was not far away!

But he could sense that Xiaobai’s aura was much weaker than before.

Although it had escaped death using its shedding Abnormal Technique, it seemed to be heavily injured!

Chu Fan immediately dismissed his original idea of meeting up with the Cyan Snake to kill the black-robed man together!

Meeting up now could bring a catastrophic disaster down upon the Cyan Snake!

Suddenly, he noticed a strong south wind blowing that night!

’The wind direction... a south wind, blowing north!’

A sharp glint flashed in Chu Fan’s eyes as he made a decision!

He abruptly veered left, charged toward the Seven Stars Gang’s dining hall, and burst through the main doors with a loud BANG.

Before the black-robed man could even follow him into the hall, he had already smashed through a window on the other side!

Once outside, Chu Fan pushed off with his feet, leaped onto the roof, and pushed his Running Technique to its absolute limit, speeding due north with the strong south wind at his back!

[Running Technique Experience Points +1]

The successive notifications appearing in his mind left Chu Fan unsure whether to laugh or cry.

His Third Limit Break Running Technique had the "Wind under the Feet" and "Light as a Feather" Traits, as well as the strongest "Wave Riding and Wind Chasing" Trait!

With the tailwind, the "Wave Riding and Wind Chasing" Trait was being utilized to its fullest potential!

The Primordial Qi around him faintly merged with the flowing air. It felt as if his feet weren’t treading on solid tiles but on a layer of invisible wind and waves. With his robes fluttering and air resistance greatly reduced,

he shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow. Aided by the wind, his speed surged, making him even faster than Cyan Snake Xiaobai, who was struggling to catch up from behind to help!

The black-robed man leaped onto the roof right behind him. When he saw Chu Fan’s terrifying speed, which seemed to merge with the wind itself, he was both shocked and enraged!

He could clearly sense that his opponent’s Primordial Qi fluctuations were only at the initial stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm, yet his running speed was just a fraction slower than his own, a master of the Divine Power Realm?

At this rate, it would be impossible to catch him anytime soon!

"You little bastard, let’s see where you can run!"

The black-robed man gritted his teeth. Black qi roiled around him as he, too, pushed his speed to the limit, staying hot on Chu Fan’s heels!

Chu Fan focused his mind, feeling the state of being one with the wind.

Having only broken through to the Spirit Awakening Realm and gained control over Primordial Qi yesterday, this was his first time using it in conjunction with the "Wave Riding and Wind Chasing" Trait.

Even with a powerful enemy in hot pursuit, this state of merging with the wind was surprisingly intoxicating.

One figure chasing the other, they sped across the uneven rooftops of Cyan Yang Ancient City as if on flat ground, moving with the speed of lightning and startling countless roosting birds into flight!

Along the way, various spies who had been drawn out by the sounds of battle and were observing from the shadows all turned pale with shock at the sight of this desperate, life-or-death chase!
