But the gap in his saber technique wasn’t that large.
Until now...
The Perfected Nine Blood Soul Blades had already surpassed the saber techniques and swordsmanship of those two!
Even if his opponent’s Qi Blood Power was several tis stronger, he could face one of them. Relying solely on the Perfected Nine Blood Soul Blades, he wouldn’t necessarily be at a disadvantage.
If he were to frantically channel the Nine Blood Soul Blades to stir the Evil Qi, killing either one of them wouldn’t be too difficult!
’But if I were to truly encounter soone in the Entering the Realm of Strength, the Perfected Nine Blood Soul Blades wouldn’t be my first choice.’
’The once-limit-broken Extre Night Cold Prison Hand, plus the twice-limit-broken Twelve Forms Fist, combined with Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step and traits like Vajra Iron Fist... *that* is my strongest killing move now!’
’And my most unexpected one!’
Chu Fan let out a long breath and practiced his saber technique a few more tis. Only when he had completely familiarized himself with the various changes of the Perfection Realm did he reluctantly sheathe his long saber and look at his panel.
[Pollution Level: 2/100]
[Skill: Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber (Great Success) Progress: (1429/1500) (Trait: None)]
[Skill: Hundred-step Piercing Willow Arrow Skill (First Limit Break 1857/2000) (Trait: Pursuit)]
[Skill: Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step (Small Success) Progress: (595/600) (Trait: None)]
...
"Damn it!"
Seeing the Pollution Level, Chu Fan’s eye twitched violently!
’After Nine Blood Soul Blades reached Perfection, the Pollution Level increased by one point!’
’Just as I thought...’
’Just Blood Nourishing, Blood Refining, Bone Marrow Forging, and Bone Tempering don’t increase the Pollution Level.’
’However, as soon as you absorb the Spiritual chanism between heaven and earth, the Pollution Level rises!’
’That previous point of Pollution Level most likely ca from eating that half a wild mountain ginseng from Tianxing!’
’This Evil Qi between heaven and earth...’
Chu Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart.
’It’s only two points of Pollution Level. No need to worry too much about it.’
’All three martial arts are close to a breakthrough...’
’Unfortunately, both the Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber and the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step have their own bottlenecks.’
’The core of the Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber lies in the fusion of multiple layers of Saber Force.’
’With my current physical strength, I can withstand seven layers of Saber Force at most.’
’Forcing an eight-layered Saber Force strike would an killing a thousand enemies, but taking eight hundred casualties myself.’
’And without being able to fuse Saber Force, relying only on polishing the moves yields negligible Experience Points.’
’So these remaining 71 Experience Points are a real headache.’
’The Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step’s limitation is even greater...’
’It requires control over Primordial Qi to advance further.’
’I haven’t undergone Mortal Transformation, so even if there might be a little Primordial Qi in my body, it’s difficult to control it completely.’
’That 5-point gap in Experience Points is like a natural chasm, impossible to cross!’
’Right now, the only thing I can break through quickly is the Hundred-step Piercing Willow Arrow Skill.’
Chu Fan turned and went inside, taking out the heavy Iron-Saturated Wood Bow. He prepared to practice his archery in the courtyard, intending to achieve the Second Limit Break for his Hundred-step Piercing Willow Arrow Skill in one go.
But just as he drew the bow into position, he stopped and looked to his left.
Two butterflies flew silently into the small courtyard, heading toward him.
These butterflies were pitch-black. Their wings were strangely shaped, resembling miniature bird feathers, making them almost impossible to see in the dark of night.
If not for the great improvent in his five senses, which allowed him to perceive every stir of the wind and rustle of the grass, he truly would not have noticed these two butterflies.
Chu Fan’s brow furrowed slightly.
’The spring chill hasn’t faded yet, and it’s the middle of the night. Why would there be butterflies out?’
’And such a bizarre species at that?’
’Such an anomaly surely ans trouble!’
Without a second thought, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the long saber in his hand shot out like a bolt of lightning.
PFFT! PFFT! With two soft sounds, the two strange black butterflies were sliced in two by the sharp Saber Qi before they could even get close, and they fell to the ground.
Without a mont’s hesitation, Chu Fan imdiately put the bow and arrow back in the house, grabbed his saber, and went out.
After a few leaps, his figure blended into the night as he sped toward the banks of the Cyan Yang River, an area crisscrossed with waterways.
The moonlight, like water, flowed silently over the murky surface of the Cyan Yang River.
Chu Fan’s figure was like a phantom as he darted into a deserted alley not far from the riverbank.
The depths of the alley were piled with junk, filled with a damp, musty sll.
SWISH!
He had just co to a stop when a sharp, piercing sound cut through the air behind him!
A sharp glint of a blade chopped straight for Chu Fan’s back, ruthless and decisive. It was clearly an attack ant to kill.
Chu Fan seed to be caught off guard. Unable to draw his saber in ti, he could only twist his body and et the attack head-on with his fist.
The wind from his fist was fierce and powerful, carrying the faint roar of a beast—it was the Bear Form of the Twelve Forms Fist!
"Hm?"
The attacker let out a soft sound of surprise, having apparently recognized the signature Fist Technique of the Seven Stars Gang.
But the opponent’s saber montum didn’t recede. Instead, it grew even more ferocious and sharp, the light from the blade like a waterfall, threatening to completely engulf Chu Fan.
’Bone Tempering Realm...’
Feeling a Qi Blood Power much stronger than his own, Chu Fan’s pupils shrank slightly.
His footwork shifted as he executed the Hawk Form and Swallow Form Body Technique of the Twelve Forms Fist, easily dodging the vital points of the attack. Then, with his fists moving as if to seal and close, he clashed head-on with the blade’s light several tis.
His Qi Blood Power was clearly far inferior, and his opponent wielded a saber while Chu Fan was bare-handed. Yet, in this exchange, the opponent found himself unable to fully execute his long saber techniques, as if he’d been drawn into a vortex!
"How is this possible!"
The young man was clearly extrely familiar with the Twelve Forms Fist and had never imagined soone could train it to such a degree!
’And this person seems to be a few years younger than !’
"Extre Night Cold Prison Hand!"
In the instant the young man was stunned, Chu Fan lightly slapped a palm against his left shoulder.
This Extre Night Cold Prison Hand looked light and fluttery, as if it didn’t use any Qi Blood Power at all—nothing like the fierce and domineering sweeping movents of the Twelve Forms Fist.
But once executed, it was swift, strange, and impossible to defend against!
BANG!
The young man’s body froze, and he stumbled back several steps!
