Chapter 408: Chapter 235: Like a Clear Moon Fallen to Earth, No Longer One of the Heavens (Part 2) Even his hands were encased in the iron armor, as if wearing a pair of iron gloves.
His hair was disheveled, hanging loosely behind his head, and his face looked somewhat darkened.
Judging by his complexion, he didn’t look like a living person.
Especially, a hint of purple tinged his eyelids, while his eyes reflected a faint blue light.
Those eyes were full of anger; the moment he steadied his form, he propelled himself forward, swiftly advancing towards the fleeing scholar.
With a single hand grasp, the air seemed to be scorched with bloody traces.
The fleeing scholar showed no fear, agilely leaping forward, and the two figures instantly engaged in a contest over the snowy ground.
"Is he Chu Huai Feng?"
Chu Qing was somewhat unsure.
Hua Jinnian also furrowed his brows:
"Too young?"
Chu Huai Feng was supposedly defeated atop Golden Sun Mountain a decade ago, but judging by this person’s current age, ten years ago, he would have been only around ten years old, right?
"Or perhaps..."
Wenrou softly said:
"He doesn’t age?"
"It’s possible!"
Hua Jinnian nodded repeatedly:
"The martial arts practiced by Cold Corpse Chu Huai Feng have always been a mystery in the Martial World.
"What if those martial arts allow someone to remain eternally youthful, never aging?"
Chu Qing found it difficult to refute these words...
After all, Mingyu Skill had similar effects.
Although it couldn’t grant eternal life, it could at least stop the aging process.
Cold Corpse Chu Huai Feng’s martial arts were even more bizarre; if they truly possessed such effects, it would make sense for him to maintain his current appearance.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing glanced at Hua Jinnian:
"Aren’t you going to intervene?"
"That is the fleeing scholar over there."
Hua Jinnian scratched his head:
"We martial world lowly fighters know our limits well. When you experts are battling, we must watch from afar... Getting involved might lead to accidental harm by you or hinder your efforts, which would be unfavorable for both sides."
What a self-aware martial world lowly fighter!
Since when did Hua Jinnian devise such a clear self-assessment?
But truth be told, his Inconsistent Swordsmanship isn’t weak at all; the Golden Hook Xu Family just happens to counter it. Others might not easily force him to flee in panic.
However, Chu Qing thought about it and felt it necessary to remind him:
"The fleeing scholar is not his match..."
It’s undeniable that the martial arts of the Three Leisure Immortals are exceptionally high.
Although the fleeing scholar has a notable reputation, his battle records have been average... But last time at the Seven Plum Manor, he faced Young Master Mei, who held countless years of cultivation.
His defeat in a single move was understandable.
But now, observing his execution, each move truly lives up to the name of the Three Leisure Immortals.
Unfortunately, his opponent was even more skilled.
Skillful as he may be, Chu Huai Feng fought without fearing death, while the fleeing scholar still considered formality, progressing with rhythm and direction.
Yet Chu Huai Feng was entirely direct in his attacks.
Presenting flaws, luring the enemy into a trap, attacking the east while signaling the west, real and illusionary changes... Chu Huai Feng paid no heed to these tactics in the exchange.
He was solely focused on demonstrating what he had learned, fighting fiercely.
The fists and feet of the fleeing scholar repeatedly struck Chu Huai Feng, yet each time proved ineffectual.
Rumor had it that Chu Huai Feng was invulnerable.
The truth of this rumor was uncertain, but the iron armor he wore on his body indeed did justice to the phrase "invulnerable."
No matter how powerful the technique, when it landed on the armor, it was neutralized completely.
Consequently, he couldn’t break through after prolonged attacks, and the fleeing scholar gradually fell behind, with blood even dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Another sudden change of technique resulted in the two figures colliding violently, forearms braced against each other, releasing gusts of wind between them.
A loud shout from Zhang Chi was heard:
"Watch the blade!!"
