Chapter 1026 The Might of Fan Li!

Fan Li stood up.

At this moment, he still looked simple and honest.

But in the depths of his eyes, there was an indescribable meaning.

Like a child at home who, when his parents aren't around, feels like he's the boss, finally able to shout and freely release his nature without worrying about his old man's shoe.

People are the same, and so are demon lords.

When strength is insufficient, one must bow one's head when necessary;

But as strength gradually recovers, and with the increased reliance on oneself, the so-called "nature" will also be restored.

Xu Gang found the scene before him unbelievable. Either it was a coincidence, or he had previously used some special method to suppress his breakthrough, only unlocking it now.

But from Fourth Rank to Third Rank, it's not just the physical body, but also the threshold of the mental state. How was this achieved?

"Fight or not?"

Before Xu Gang could think too much, Fan Li was already a little impatient.

Xu Gang's eyes narrowed slightly as he began to walk towards Fan Li.

"Just entered the Third Rank, your realm hasn't even stabilized. Who exactly gave you the confidence to speak to me like this!"

"Heh heh."

Fan Li chuckled twice and also took the initiative to walk towards Xu Gang, answering at the same time:

"Your eldest uncle, your second uncle, your third uncle…"

These words,

Coupled with Fan Li's simple and honest expression,

Really had an excellent hate-pulling effect; he really looked like he deserved a beating.

When the distance between the two sides was reduced to within ten zhang,

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Almost simultaneously, the two sides sprung up from the ground, like two giant rocks, colliding together in an instant.

"Bang!"

Xu Gang didn't use a weapon, and Fan Li didn't pick up his axe. The first round of contact between the two sides was a fist-to-fist confrontation.

With one blow,

The ground beneath both of their feet sank a large section.

Sensing the equal force coming from his fist, Xu Gang was somewhat puzzled. Was this the power of a newly advanced Third Rank martial artist?

Thoughts aside, at such close range, the next actions of both sides were almost instinctive.

Retract fist,

Raise leg,

Kick out!

Martial artists' duels can sometimes seem very boring, especially when both sides are confident in the strength of their physique and the abundance of their qi and blood, wanting to rely on a straightforward power crush to win the duel,

They often overlook most of the flashy moves,

And it evolves into a boring process like two bulls locking horns.

Similar to the peak martial artist duel of Jingnan King splitting the shadow in front of the Great Chu Palace gate in Yingdu back then, that was truly a rare and unattainable event.

Xu Gang's foot kicked Fan Li, and at the same time, Fan Li's foot also kicked Xu Gang.

The supporting legs of both sides almost simultaneously pressed down, forcibly "eating" this center of gravity.

Xu Gang, as a member of the sect, was naturally superior, and coupled with his previous high-profile reminiscence of the "Yan People" sentiment, he had set the tone so high in front of the Regent, how could he allow himself to show embarrassment?

As for Fan Li,

As a demon lord,

Either don't fight,

If you fight, you must win, and winning is the foundation. More importantly, you have to win beautifully!

Therefore,

The two martial artists, both with a great sense of "burden," after kicking each other, forcibly used their bodies to digest the force applied to them by the other.

Then,

Almost simultaneously, the two sides once again engaged in a flurry of fists and feet.

The positions of the two people basically did not change,

Neither retreated,

Just punch,

Just fight,

Just withstand!

The roaring sounds echoed continuously in the valley, forming an orderly rhythm.

…

"Just entered the Third Rank and can already fight Xu Gang to a standstill. What does this mean?"

In the rear, the two women still didn't listen to the blind man's words to go and fetch melon seeds and dried fruit.

"It's probably due to his cultivation technique. It looks more like he's forcing himself."

"Who's forcing himself?"

"It can't possibly be Xu Gang."

…

The light screen in front of the old woman's water tank was reflecting the duel between the two martial artists in front of the valley. Although there was no sound transmitted, only images, one could still see how terrifying the power generated by each collision of their physical bodies was.

At this time, some of the black-robed people who had been meditating in Ming Village also gathered under the high platform to watch the light screen projected by the water tank. Others went directly to the entrance of the formation.

The Chu Emperor sat there, also watching;

And at this time,

Huang Lang, who had long stood up,

Although his hands were behind his back, his fingertips were constantly fiddling with each other, revealing a certain anxiety in his heart, which was intensifying.

In his dream,

He should have a group of helpers around him to help him sweep away one opponent after another;

Now,

His helpers are even more numerous,

But he really wanted to shout out loud:

A bunch of arrogant fools!

…

All kinds of gazes were focused on this ongoing duel through their own means.

Zheng Fan also stood there, directly ignoring the dust and sand that was constantly being stirred up and blown in front of him.

Behind him,

The blind man remained calm, and A'ming and Xue San had long shown impatient expressions on their faces, but they were too embarrassed to complain. Once they complained, it would be tantamount to accusing their lord of not choosing Fan Li to go up first.

Gradually,

As the battle between the two sides gradually intensified,

A'ming and Xue San finally breathed a sigh of relief,

Finally,

It's about to end.

And that was indeed the case.

Initially, Xu Gang thought that Fan Li was forcing himself and could not possibly last long, but after a fierce battle, Xu Gang gradually discovered that it was his own qi and blood that was beginning to decline uncontrollably in this high-rhythm collision;

On the other hand, his opponent in front of him was truly getting braver and braver as he fought.

His own fists repeatedly hit the opponent's body, and the hardness that was fed back was actually increasing as well.

This wasn't a fight at all,

He was clearly just hammering iron!

Making the opponent in front of him harder and harder!

Suddenly, Xu Gang woke up. Was the other party really just using him to forcibly temper his physique?

This conjecture was very absurd. How could someone who had just advanced to the Third Rank dare to play this trick in front of his Third Rank peak martial artist?

However,

When Zheng Fan, who was standing in the rear watching and trying his best to maintain his composure for a while longer,

Finally couldn't help but let out a slightly impatient…

"Tsk."

In an instant,

Fan Li immediately roared,

Cracks appeared all over his skin. It wasn't that Fan Li's physique had been shattered by Xu Gang, but a new shell was forcibly hammered out.

Suddenly,

Fan Li's power instantly exploded, and some existences that had been dormant deep in his bloodline finally sparked the long-awaited sparks after repeated friction, like a flint.

"Buzz!"

Xu Gang's fist was grabbed by Fan Li.

Xu Gang was secretly delighted,

An opening!

But when Xu Gang kicked over in response, the skin shell that had previously "floated" on Fan Li's body instantly began to burn and melt, and in an instant, it turned into golden barbs on his flesh.

"Hiss…"

Xu Gang only felt a sharp stinging pain coming from the position of his foot that kicked Fan Li's body,

This meant that his thick protective qi and blood had lost its protective effect at that moment, and even his strong body had been torn open.

The spurt of blood was almost instantaneous.

Xu Gang subconsciously wanted to get away from his opponent,

At this moment,

He was no longer thinking about maintaining any pretense, or what others in the sect thought of him, or even what his two brothers behind him thought of him.

He felt fear,

A deep fear.

This fear originated from the first time you cut your finger as a child,

It hurts,

It hurts a lot,

You even want to cry!

This was a collapse, originating from the subversion of his beliefs. He had been dormant for a hundred years, and adding the years he had spent making a name for himself in the martial world, he had been at the peak of the martial artist realm for more than a hundred years.

But how short was childhood?

When something lasts for a long time, it will naturally become taken for granted.

But once the latter is subverted, it is a huge shock to the entire person's mind!

The splash of blood was reflected in Xu Gang's eyes.

However, when he was preparing to distance himself, Fan Li, who was grabbing his wrist, suddenly pulled him towards himself!

Xu Gang's escape was blocked, but he was, after all, an existence at the peak of the Third Rank, so he didn't immediately lose his balance;

However, that didn't matter.

Because Fan Li had already taken this opportunity,

Opened his arms,

And embraced him…!

This was no longer a fighting method between martial artists,

If it was said that Fan Li had taken the initiative to reach out and grab Xu Gang's wrist earlier, giving Xu Gang a chance to use his own strength to hit himself, then what Fan Li was doing now was a complete opening of his defenses. Xu Gang could completely take advantage of the situation and launch the most rapid attacks on his chest and other vital points. Even in martial artist fights, vital points and weaknesses must be protected.

Xu Gang gritted his teeth. He instinctively sensed the danger, but at this time, he no longer had the opportunity to think and weigh the situation. He could only swing his fist and smash it towards Fan Li's chest without reservation!

He wanted to smash him open, he wanted to knock him back, because his nose not only smelled the scent of his own blood, but also… the scent of death that seemed so far away from him.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Fan Li's chest endured three heavy blows from Xu Gang's fist. Every time it hit, Fan Li's body would tremble accordingly. Even from the position of his back, some bones could be seen that had been deformed and protruding, almost breaking through the barrier of flesh.

However,

Xu Gang did not have the feeling that he had gained a great advantage, because he saw that his blood-covered fists were also scratched by the barbs growing on the chest of his opponent when he was bombarding his chest;

It should be known that the fist should have been the hardest part of a martial artist's entire body, but it still could not escape being pierced. After continuous punching, his fists had become a bloody mess!

Even more terrifying was that,

After enduring such damage,

Fan Li finally completed,

His… embrace of Xu Gang!

With his arms closing, Fan Li hugged Xu Gang, this Third Rank peak martial artist, tightly in his arms!

The barbs on his arms, the barbs on his chest, the barbs on his legs, the barbs on his entire body, came into full contact with Xu Gang!

One sharp and terrifying existence after another pierced into Xu Gang's body. He felt as if he was being subjected to ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.

For a long time,

He finally realized again,

What is weakness,

What is vulnerability,

Therefore,

He couldn't help but let out an extremely shrill scream:

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

This scream was heart-rending, and what made people even more numb was what kind of torture it would take to turn a peak martial artist into this state!

But then,

An even more terrifying scene appeared,

After the embrace,

Fan Li began to open his arms,

And those barbs that pierced into his body were like wheels on a carriage, rolling over Xu Gang's flesh and blood.

Qi and blood were being divided;

Flesh and blood were being torn apart;

Bones were being crushed;

This was, in the true sense of the word, without any exaggeration… a separation of bone and flesh!

Everything, everything, happened so fast, so fast that the people watching this duel didn't even have time to come back to their senses. A martial artist's duel that should have been "protracted" ended in such an unbelievable way.

Xu Gang's two brothers, who had been standing in the formation earlier, finally realized that they had to save their eldest brother and rushed out of the formation regardless, wanting to help their eldest brother out of the predicament.

However, coming out of the formation, even for one's own people, takes a little time, even if it's just a line apart. But when crossing that line, their figures were like entering a swamp, turning into slow motion.

Zheng Fan shouted at this time:

"Didn't we agree to a one-on-one fight? Didn't we say we were going to have a military contest?

What,

Can't afford to lose and you're calling for help?"

At this time,

The blind man and Liang Cheng walked to Zheng Fan's side and knelt down on one knee at the same time.

Zheng Fan first placed the Wuya Saber on Liang Cheng's shoulder, and then lifted it up.

In an instant, the aura on Liang Cheng's body soared, and the Fourth Rank General of the Jindong Royal Mansion advanced to the Third Rank!

Liang Cheng, who had just completed his advancement, did not delay at all. He slapped the ground with one palm, and his figure went straight to the entrance and exit of the formation, sweeping across it directly.

It happened that Xu Huai and Xu Hai came out of the formation at this time, and were rushing towards the location of their eldest brother when suddenly a gust of wind carrying baleful aura collided with them.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Xu Huai and Xu Hai involuntarily retreated;

And Liang Cheng stood there, standing still.

Unlike their eldest brother Xu Gang, a Third Rank peak martial artist, these two brothers did not reach the Third Rank peak. But even so, the fact that the two of them were knocked open by one person at the same time was enough to be shocking.

Liang Cheng's skin began to appear dark cyan, and in his eyes, it was as if ghost fire was flashing. Two fangs, symbolizing supreme majesty, were exposed outside his lips and teeth;

All around, the rich baleful aura seemed to be able to drip into rain at any time, but it was still extremely gentle and constantly surrounded him.

His hands,

Slowly lifted,

Ten black long fingernails, carrying terrifying corpse poison, even the air seemed to be being poisoned;

He once led thousands of troops and horses,

Now,

He himself,

Is thousands of troops and horses, one man standing in the way is more than enough to stop ten thousand!

Just this little delay,

Fan Li finally completed the creation of his "artwork."

He raised his hands,

Xu Gang, who was connected by barbs, also raised his hands,

He began to twist,

Xu Gang's waist also began to twist with him,

He began to sway,

Xu Gang also began to sway with him;

He used the barbs on his body as strings, and used Xu Gang, who was not completely dead and still had residual consciousness, as a puppet, indulging in showing off his own rustic aesthetics.

Zheng Fan remembered that a similar scene had happened during the first Yan-Chu War.

At that time, he ordered the Chu army in the city to be forced out,

As a result, this idiot Fan Li directly pulled out the remains of Shi Yuantang, the Pillar General of Shi, from his coffin, put them on bamboo poles, tied them with ropes, and started twisting the yangko.

In the end, the Chu army general in the city went crazy and ordered an attack on the city.

So,

The origin is actually here,

This is inherently one of Fan Li's bloodline abilities, but one possibility is that he couldn't use it temporarily, and the second is that Fan Li rarely had the opportunity to fight one-on-one. It was also impossible to use this trick against an ordinary soldier on the battlefield, and he could not use it against Old Yu when sparring with the Sword Saint.

But this move is indeed quite terrifying and amazing. The barbs that grow from within the body can break through qi and blood and physique. No matter how strong a martial artist is, who would dare to get close to this idiot in a one-on-one fight?

Fan Li was twisting happily,

But accidentally, he used too much force, and there was a sound similar to the tearing of cloth. Xu Gang's upper and lower halves were accidentally torn apart.

Fan Li froze there, frowning, looking at his new toy that he had just made but was quickly broken by himself, with a rather unfinished look on his face.

At the same time,

From between Xu Gang's body, Fan Li poked his head out and looked at the two brothers who had been intercepted by Liang Cheng for him.

Then,

Fan Li threw Xu Gang's lower half on the ground and placed Xu Gang's upper half on his right shoulder, so that it looked like Xu Gang was sitting on Fan Li's shoulder.

Zheng Fan's Wuya Saber was also moved from the blind man's shoulder.

"Huff…"

The blind man let out an extremely comfortable long sound. At this moment, he felt his consciousness, his spirit, trembling with excitement, and at the same time, he had the confidence to make reality tremble along with it.

However, the blind man was, after all, blind. He had extremely strong restraint, at least, he wouldn't be as excited as Fan Li.

The blind man stood up and still stood by the lord's side.

Zheng Fan patted his chest and said, "I forgot to bring the cigarettes."

"Don't worry, Lord."

The blind man turned around and walked back.

As he walked, he got closer and closer to the two black-robed women standing in the rear.

The two black-robed women looked at the blind man who had just entered the Third Rank, their eyes full of shock.

"What was originally a simple matter has to be made so troublesome."

The blind man reached out,

And hooked his fingers behind them,

The peanuts, melon seeds, water bags, and the Lord's big iron box that had been placed in the saddle for everyone's meal were all taken over by the blind man from afar;

The blind man pointed to the two women blocking the way and said that the things had already floated behind the two women.

Seeing that the two women were still standing there without moving,

The blind man's mental power burst out and swept out.

The woman who cultivated qi was fine, her face just turned pale for a while, but the woman who followed the path of martial arts directly let out a muffled groan, and blood spilled from her nose.

The blind man shouted in their minds with a mental storm:

"Pay attention,收一收your legs!"
