Midnight Thief God, with an Orchid’s smile.
The Grand Marshal among bandits, the best of the scoundrels. Later generations would say: Thief Commander Ye Liu Xiang had a reputation that shook all directions.
The mont Jiang Dali caught the faint scent of tulips in the air, his heart jolted and he suddenly looked up to the sky, his palm bursting forth with violent Absorption Force once again.
"Co back!!"
He bellowed!
Like the head of a dragon roaring forth, the power surged out like the Cloud Dragon Probe Claw, instantly wrapping around the Ancient Bronze Sword Box in mid-air.
Xu Yuanping seized this opportunity to break free from the suction force and quickly dodged to safety.
But at that mont,
A figure, graceful as a startled swan and agile as a roaming dragon, swept across the sky, suddenly reaching out and catching the Ancient Bronze Sword Box as if snatching up a mosquito.
"How skillful, ’Split Light Capture Shadow’... co down to Laozi!"
Jiang Dali roared and pulled fiercely with his arm!
Boom!
A violent Absorption Force instantly swept through the air, causing a massive shake, the Powerful Energy ripping through the sky like a raging wave, spiraling and exploding with force.
"What an exquisite ’Single-handed Dragon Capture’!"
The figure in blue, holding a folding fan, chuckled in response, their body spinning and falling amidst the waves of power, yet suddenly moving their arms rapidly to maintain a vertical center of gravity, spinning against the montum like a top, barely managing to slow their descent with their terrifying ability to stay afloat.
"Such supre Qinggong!"
Jiang Dali’s eyes shot out a cold, electric light as he suddenly strained the tendons in his neck, bulging out, then abruptly opened his mouth.
Chu Liu Xiang, the figure in blue, quickly focused his energy and transmitted it into his ears.
Roar!!
A deep and majestic sound wave erupted as if it were tangible, exploding violently from Jiang Dali’s mouth.
Tai Anqi, Ding Yanshan, and others nearby all changed color, quickly dodging and recoiling.
The terrifying sound of the Lion Roar left everyone around dizzy and retreating repeatedly.
So of the followers who were with the group even scread and fell to the ground amidst the sound waves, as if the terrifying sound waves were squeezing the air out of their bodies bit by bit.
Chu Liu Xiang, in mid-air, bore the brunt of it and let out a muffled groan, his body unable to resist the fierce pull of the Absorption Force and rapidly descending toward Jiang Dali, about to fall into that large palm that seed like a demon’s grasp.
At that instance, Chu Liu Xiang suddenly tugged at his cloak with his left hand, and instantly the cloak, infused with Qi Force, shot towards Jiang Dali overhead.
Jiang Dali’s vision darkened, and in an instant, he felt his palm grasp a mass of cloth, while at the sa ti, the whooshing sound of air tearing approached.
He roared, and between spreading and contracting his five fingers, he suddenly shot them out.
Hiss hiss hiss—
The One Yang Finger Force erupted instantaneously, piercing and shredding the cloak, and at the sa ti colliding with an oncoming folding fan.
Ding ding dang dang a series of loud noises.
Chu Liu Xiang had no intention to counterattack, as he shifted his position and moved away, collecting his fan he evaded again. With a flash of his figure, he was heading towards Xiao Chacha, the Purple-clothed woman who was about to flee by Xu Yuanping’s side.
"Where do you think you’re going!!"
Jiang Dali roared and stomped his foot on the ground.
With a boom, the ground trembled, and his figure instantly blurred as he charged fiercely towards Chu Liu Xiang, launching another palm strike with a dragon’s head surging on his palm, the grip of suction targeting Chu Liu Xiang.
Before the palm even arrived, a vortex-like Powerful Energy had already entangled its way towards him.
"This bandit is truly difficult to deal with!"
Chu Liu Xiang frowned, quickly stepped on a point with one foot and withdrew the other, his body swiftly leaning to one side.
He had precisely calculated the distance, and with this sideways movent, he managed to narrowly avoid the strongest range of the suction just at its peak force, a piece of information he recorded in a flash during his recent engagent with Jiang Dali.
To rember such details about the surroundings during combat, including the opponent’s moves, and then to adapt and find a way to counter them in the mont was easier said than done and exceedingly difficult.
In the heat of battle, to imdiately adapt and apply these tactics was by no ans an easy feat.
Amongst those in the world, before this, Jiang Dali had only seen Lu Xiaofeng with the capacity for such quick and nimble adaptability.
And now, he had to add Chu Liu Xiang to that list.
Not only was Chu Liu Xiang a martial arts prodigy, but his ability to learn any Martial Arts quickly, master them, and then adapt ingeniously in battle was in a league of its own.
There were many Martial Arts that he obviously could not break, but in actual combat, he would co up with the counter in one mont.
Thus, so who were better at Martial Arts than him would be defeated by him in a fight, mystified by their own defeat, and the more mystified they were, the more convincing the defeat beca; such is the human psyche’s weakness.
But this ti, Chu Liu Xiang had miscalculated.
He thought he could dodge it, but reality was not so.
Jiang Dali’s palm, filled with suction, suddenly changed technique, and in the blink of an eye, he shifted from palm to finger strike, his body sharply leaning forward, while his arm bones audibly extended with the application of the Bone Shrinking Skill.
In doing so, the reach of his strike instantly extended by a ter, exactly negating the distance Chu Liu Xiang had moved to avoid it.
Hiss hiss hiss—
With a fierce shout from Jiang Dali, his fingers ruthlessly pressed forward, and several Qi Forces of the One Yang Finger directly targeted the vital points on Chu Liu Xiang’s chest, the tearing waves of energy incredibly sharp.
"Good!!"
Chu Liu Xiang shouted, his body suddenly spinning like a top, barely avoiding the first wave of the darting Finger Force. In a situation where he couldn’t change his position, his upper body suddenly bent down completely, as if he had no bones at all.
Hiss hiss—
The next two waves of One Yang Finger Qi Force then instantly missed their mark.
This change might sound prolonged, but in reality, during the exchange, it was nothing but a mont.
Jiang Dali and Chu Liu Xiang’s engagent was only an instant.
