The only thing he could do was to follow his body’s instincts.
Without any hesitation, he delivered 21 punches at the direction of the incoming attack!
For the 21 punches, he used the same amount of force he used to throw each of them as the 27 punches previously. Clearly, the strength he used was not as much as earlier, but after they combined into one large fist with an aura that was a few times stronger than the previous one!
The number of punches had reduced but its aura and power intensified!
When his punch met the descending palm, both of them disappeared and gave out another gust of wind. Ning Fan retreated tens of steps before he could regain his balance. This time, his eyes brightened!
“I understand now!”
Meanwhile, a speck of jade color gradually appeared in his soul…
As for his body refining realm, it was gradually advancing into the Jade Life Realm!
*Gasps*
Yan Zhongze and the other two Spirit Severing Realm experts sucked in cold breaths together.
The attack he combined from two palms was four times stronger than the first one. In their eyes, unless Ning Fan hurled 108 punches consecutively, there was no way for him to neutralize it!
Moreover, they thought that with Ning Fan’s current body refining realm, it would be difficult for him to hurl 108 punches in a brief amount of time and combined them into one attack!
None of them would expect him to succeed!
Furthermore, Ning Fan only used 21 punches to receive the attack which was four times stronger than before!
How is this possible?
Yan Zhongze’s eyes were solemn. During the first clash, he was able to perceive Ning Fan’s means. But in the second confrontation, he could not comprehend why the latter only needed 21 punches.
“Interesting! If you can take this old man’s following attack which is the combination of three palms, I will surely assist you in persuading Xu Rushan to give you the Profound Heart of Mother Earth!”
“Fine!” This time, Xu Rushan was not stubborn with his earlier request and promised Yan Zhongze.
The more he looked at Ning Fan, the more he could not understand him. However, now he was more certain of one thing – if Ning Fan promises to help him, his trouble would no longer exist.
“…”
Ning Fan did not reply. He awaited the third attack from Yan Zhongze with more resolution in his eyes, as if he had figured out the right way to counter it.
Yan Zhongze performed a hand seal, transforming himself into a 500 zhang* tall giant!
“For this attack, this old man has to use my avatar to use it. Otherwise, I would suffer a heavy backlash from it, making my body crumble. Little friend, get ready!”
The giant let out a thunderous roar.
Ning Fan stood still, intending to receive the attack without transforming into a giant.
Three rays of golden light radiated from Yan Zhongze’s palms and lightning flashed in the sky, congealing into a gigantic golden palm!
This time, its power was nine times stronger than the first attack. It once grievously injured the Spirit Severing Realm expert from the Ying State, the weakest Spirit Severing Realm expert among the thirteen of the External Endless Sea, forcing him to enter into seclusion in order to heal himself for ten years!
If Ning Fan could take this attack, it would simply prove that his combat power was at the same level as the weakest Spirit Severing Realm expert!
However, there was doubt in the giant’s eyes.
He wondered how Ning Fan’s punches would be able to withstand this attack…
In his mind, he guessed that it would be lesser than 21.
But why…
Facing the falling giant palm, the Nascent Soul within Ning Fan’s dantian felt like breaking apart. But no matter how strong the pressure of the palm exerting on his body was, he did not yield!
The Earth Controlling Star in his right eye grew darker. This time, Ning Fan moved back seven steps, with only seven punches being thrown at the direction of the palm!
The strength he used to throw the punches were insignificant compared to the previous two attacks. However, when they combined into one, a shadow of a mountain emerged in the sky!
The power of his punch rose to an unimaginable level!
After throwing punches without rest, Ning Fan had almost depleted all his strength!
But the seven punches were like seven rays of starlight, penetrating through the golden palm!
