454 Merit Comes Really Quickly 454 Merit Comes Really Quickly Clang!
The Sorrow Frost Sword, shrouded in bursts of cold air, sent a short sword flying into the distance.
It immediately flew back.
Just as another short sword was about to pierce Jiang Fan’s back, it intercepted it in time.
The crowd suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
A few Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples looked as though they had seen a ghost. “Sword Control Technique?” “The real Sword Control Technique!” “This kid actually knows Sword Control Technique!” “But wasn’t it said that Senior Xu Qingyang had no successors?” “Can someone tell me, what in the world is going on here?”
A glint flashed in Jian Linyuan’s eyes, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. “This person is truly hiding his abilities.”
Leng Qingzhu was stunned for a moment.
Then, she snapped out of it.
She fully realized that she had encountered a formidable opponent!
Even though her short swords had failed, she closed the distance swiftly.
The Earth-level mid-tier Palm Technique in her palm still gave her confidence in victory! “Feel my palm strike!” Leng Qingzhu cried out sharply.
Her jade-like palm, wrapped in violet flames, struck fiercely toward Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan did not dare to be careless.
After all, this was the strongest blow from a Core Formation Fifth Level martial artist wielding an Earth-level mid-tier Palm Technique.
The Poison Pill within his body trembled.
It had absorbed the Poison Dragon Bone Marrow, Seven-Colored Poison Toad, Ice Cave Cold Poison, and the deadly toxins left behind by Lu Jiulin.
The terrifying level of toxicity mingling within him was unmeasurable.
It was certainly beyond what a Core Formation Fifth Level martial artist could withstand.
Without hesitation, he raised his palm, brimming with an overwhelming mix of dreadful toxins, and struck fiercely.
Splurt—!
The icy, bone-chilling poison extinguished more than half of the violet flames on Leng Qingzhu’s palm in an instant!
The remaining venom corroded the residual flames until they were completely extinguished.
In the next moment, at the exact instant their palms made contact, the devastating poison sought to invade the opposing body.
Leng Qingzhu’s pupils contracted sharply!
Her prideful Earth-level mid-tier Palm Technique had been neutralized?
Fortunately, her reaction was swift.
Noticing the impending danger, she decisively withdrew her palm, preventing the toxins from entering her body.
The strongest strike she could muster had failed to overwhelm Jiang Fan!
However.
She also discovered that Jiang Fan’s cultivation was merely at the Second Level of Core Formation.
Though she could not secure victory, neither could Jiang Fan defeat her outright.
With her Spiritual Power shield alone, Jiang Fan would have no chance of breaking through.
As she deliberated, she decisively retreated.
Searching for the perfect opportunity to strike again.
How could Jiang Fan let her have her way?
Taking advantage of her failed attack, leaving her no time to launch a second move, he immediately used his movement technique to close the distance.
Leng Qingzhu was startled and hastily activated an abundant flow of Spiritual Power to shield her body, while striking a palm at the approaching Jiang Fan. “With your cultivation level, you can’t possibly defeat me!”
Hiss, hiss, hiss—
But Leng Qingzhu was astonished to find.
Jiang Fan’s legs were wrapped in arcs of lightning. “Thunder Path Technique?” Leng Qingzhu exclaimed in shock.
She had already lost count of how many techniques this mysterious peer had employed in such a brief exchange.
Each was frighteningly powerful, showcasing the strength of supreme techniques.
In her moment of awe,
Jiang Fan’s foot already struck her.
Zap—!
Two Thunder Dragons instantly tore through her Spiritual Power shield, directly hitting her body. “Ah—!”
Subjected to the explosion of thunderbolts, she flailed like a butterfly dancing in a flower-filled field only to be abruptly struck by a heavy stick.
She was sent flying across the battlefield, crashing onto the corpse of a Demon Beast.
The beast’s once indestructible scales scattered, breaking off in large patches under the impact.
