It was as if a cannon of imnse power ferociously fired at a delicately flying butterfly in the sky.
No matter how intense the artillery fire, the butterfly always managed to evade at unbelievable angles in nearly impossible ways, leaving the onlookers dazzled and secretly terrified, thinking that the abilities of these two were indeed far beyond anyone present.
When One Yang Finger missed its mark, Jiang Dali had been prepared all along, even clearly understanding that such speed in the offensive was simply impossible to pose a threat to Chu Liu Xiang.
His body still maintained a leaning forward stance, which should have made it impossible to shift, yet he bellowed and his left palm struck out with a Splitting Sky Palm, blasting the ground.
Bang—A burst of Qi Force exploded.
His body took advantage of the shock to thrust forward again, abruptly twisting his waist, and sending out a palm as if turning the heavens over in a fierce strike.
Buzz!
A shockwave filled the air.
Clang!!
A gigantic Golden Bell suddenly expanded and exploded into being as his palm descended, with a dragon fiercely roaring within; the Golden Bell emitted a blazing aura, casting over Chu Liu Xiang like a wide net falling to catch a butterfly.
In that instant,
Chu Liu Xiang’s figure had not yet touched the ground, his bending body left with no room for change, seemingly completely unable to evade anymore.
"Chu Liu Xiang is finished!!"
Tai Anqi, Ding Yanshan, and others couldn’t help but exclaim "Ah!" in shock.
But in that mont, Chu Liu Xiang’s figure suddenly hastened to the ground in a Thousand Jin Fall, and as soon as he touched down, his body rolled and contorted on the ground like a flexible worm, narrowly dodging the Golden Bell with its fiery dragon palm that smashed down upon him.
Bang!!!
The mont the massive Golden Bell hit the ground, torrents of dragon Qi Force roared and erupted around Jiang Dali’s palm lifting into the air, exploding angrily in all directions.
Xu Yuanping and the Purple Robe lady, Xiao Chacha, quickly dodged, turning around without hesitation to flee.
Chu Liu Xiang’s body, having just dodged, instantly sprung up from the ground and fiercely struck out with a palm faster than lightning.
"Bang!" With that sound, two dragon Qi Forces attacking him were shattered and exploded upon impact.
Chu Liu Xiang felt a burning pain in his palm but with a motion of the True Qi within his body, he easily dispersed it, his figure ready to recoil and retreat.
But just then, an incredibly sharp "ing!" sound, like a subsonic wave, penetrated fiercely into his mind.
Everyone present turned pale, feeling as if needles were pricking their hearts and bodies.
Almost simultaneously, a silvery gleam of light like a bolt of silver lightning tearing through the night sky streaked from the heavens, arriving in an instant.
"Dongfang Bubai!!"
Chu Liu Xiang’s face underwent a drastic change in that instant, even feeling an unprecedented urgency of death.
Because at that mont, his body was caught in the midst of leveraging to lean back, making it incredibly difficult to stop voluntarily.
But right then, Dongfang Bubai’s silver needle ca from a cunning angle with the swiftness of lightning, aiming directly at his exposed back.
Chu Liu Xiang’s mind nearly crashed in that instant, a flood of information being processed in his brain; under such a rapid and cunning strike, his body couldn’t dodge or stop, and his folding fan couldn’t be extended to block it from behind.
Because once he reached out, the fan might not have unfolded to block when he would’ve already been pierced through the heart.
It was almost checkmate!
With Dongfang Bubai’s strength suddenly launching a needle at such a mont, there was hardly anyone in the world who could evade it; it seed like a definite death was the only outco.
But Chu Liu Xiang deserved his reputation; in the instant the needle was about to pierce his heart, he had an inspiration and suddenly threw the Ancient Bronze Sword Box he was holding towards the direction in which Xu Yuanping was fleeing.
This action was utterly incomprehensible.
It appeared as if he didn’t want the Ancient Bronze Sword Box to fall into Jiang Dali’s hands, preferring to return the validation even in death.
At least, to Tai Anqi, Ding Yanshan, and others, it seed like a final act of righteousness from Chu Liu Xiang before his dying mont.
Even Xu Yuanping, who was escaping, did not expect the Sword Box that he had lost to suddenly return at that mont, and he instantly turned back to catch it.
"Co back!"
Jiang Dali roared loudly, his palm fiercely grabbing.
Roar!!
The dragon-headed Qi Force erupted ferociously with an Absorption Force, and the Ancient Bronze Sword Box paused mid-air then shot back towards Jiang Dali’s palm.
And almost at that very mont, the silver needle pierced into the body, passing just beside Chu Liu Xiang’s heart, ultimately failing to pierce through by rely the width of a few hair strands.
The precariousness of this situation was almost unknown to outsiders; only Chu Liu Xiang and Dongfang Bubai, who looked back from mid-air, knew.
Had Chu Liu Xiang not thrown the Ancient Bronze Sword Box in that crucial mont, his death would have been certain.
And throwing the Ancient Bronze Sword Box, the timing, the angle, the person chosen to catch it—all of it had to be carefully calculated, not missing any opportunity, and the calculation of the human heart had to be extrely precise.
Chu Liu Xiang had accurately predicted that Xu Yuanping would definitely catch the Sword Box, and Jiang Dali would not allow the Sword Box to fall into Xu Yuanping’s hands, certainly resorting to using Single-handed Dragon Capture to retrieve it.
And in the mont when Single-handed Dragon Capture’s fierce Absorption Force erupted, the surrounding environnt would be affected by the suction, changing the trajectory of Dongfang Bubai’s silver needle and Chu Liu Xiang’s leaning body within the force of suction.
Even the smallest variance, a re hair’s breadth, could lead to a massive difference in the landing point of the needle, causing it to miss piercing through the heart.
Pfft—
Chu Liu Xiang’s face went pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though the needle did not pierce through his heart, just grazing it with its Qi Force inflicted a crushing blow on him in an instant.
