Chapter 157 - 138: Flying Knife, Turning!
Chapter 157: Chapter 138: Flying Knife, Turning!"Spiritual!"
"Add a point!"
Yan Chuan moved extremely fast. Before parrying Yao Qingshan, he detonated the ’Wolf Skin War Boots’, and in the instant before the Iron Bow was about to smash Yao Qingshan, he had already strengthened a Flying Knife.
Instant upgrade!
He didn’t even have time to look at the traits of the strengthened level 10 Flying Knife. As the ’bang’ of the Iron Bow hitting Yao Qingshan’s head sounded, Yan Chuan’s Flying Knife had already been thrown—
Whiz!
Flying Knife out!
But it wasn’t a follow-up strike; it was aimed at the position of the knife-wielding black-clothed man’s escape, identified through sound positioning and shot towards him.
Yan Chuan killed Yao Qingshan in one encounter.
At this time.
Tang Huai Ren had just turned to flee, not yet far.
Whiz!
Flying Knife out, silent!
"Ah!"
Silent in attack, scream in return!
A scream echoed in the night—
"Success!"
Yan Chuan knew, that Miracle Item Flying Knife had achieved merit.
Only then did he have the chance to draw out another Flying Knife, giving Yao Qingshan a follow-up strike to ensure he was thoroughly dead.
And at this moment—
Bam bam bam!
Three arrows fired consecutively!
Directly targeting Yan Chuan, attacking to kill him.
...
All of this, though seemingly slow to describe, actually all happened in the blink of an eye—
From the two black-clothed men sneaking in.
To Yan Chuan realizing and rushing out the door.
Then the two black-clothed men joining forces to kill.
Yan Chuan taking advantage of the ’Wolf Skin War Boots’ to dodge.
Then hidden arrows blocking his path.
All this was very brief.
Especially the last two rounds—
One of the two black-clothed men continued the attack, while the other turned to flee. Yan Chuan used the ’Sky Shattering Bow’ and the ’Flying Knife’ to consecutively kill the two, while that hidden man repeatedly fired arrows from the shadows.
This was almost instantaneous.
Including the three hidden arrows—
"Fall!"
Yan Chuan turned, ’Sky Shattering Bow’ in hand twisting, magnetic field rotating, all metal and stone falling, even Yan Chuan’s ’Golden Silkworm Silk Armor’ couldn’t get touched!
Yan Chuan easily blocked the hidden arrows.
At this moment—
"Who goes there?"
"Master Yan!"
Someone shouted, finally arriving to support.
Wang Kuan!
Jian Rong!
Huo Zhen!
The first to arrive were these three!
Following the sound, Yan Chuan tossed the Sky Shattering Bow in his hand forcefully into the air: "Elder Wang! Catch the bow! Don’t let him escape!"
Then he kicked up the long sword left by Yao Qingshan’s dead body, and with a clang, he chopped off Yao Qingshan’s left hand—
Whirl! Whirl!
The sword whirled!
In an instant, a Spider Silk Glove fell into Yan Chuan’s hand.
Charging forward again, he keenly spotted a corpse, clearly the knife-wielding man in black, Tang Huai Ren, now with a Flying Knife lodged in his back, not completely dead.
"Die!"
Yan Chuan left no survivors, stabbing the sword through this person’s heart.
Tang Huai Ren thrashed about, and passed away!
Yan Chuan flicked the sword expertly—
Clang clang clang!
Long knife!
Flying knife!
One was a trophy!
One was his own!
Another Miracle Item in hand.
Yan Chuan didn’t have time for a more detailed
’Yan Chuan chasing from behind!
And further behind, Wang Kuan, Jian Rong, and Huo Zhen!
"Clang clang clang!"
Yan Chuan, wielding a long knife, occasionally struck the rock walls, creating sounds to guide Wang Kuan and the others. He himself pursued Yue Junyang, slowly closing the distance.
Since the Martial Arts Competition over a month ago, Yan Chuan’s strength seemed to have no significant improvement, but in reality, both his boxing skills and Qi-Blood had been growing, continuously advancing.
From small amounts accumulating!
To towering achievements!
Yan Chuan’s progress was actually quite significant.
’Divine Movement Transformation’ was a Qinggong Yan Chuan created on the basis of ’Cheng Family Boxing’, and after reaching the Seventh and Eighth Realm of ’Cheng Family Boxing’, his proficiency in ’Divine Movement Transformation’ kept rising—
From Guangling to Taikang!
Then from Taikang to Suanzao Mountain!
’Divine Movement Transformation’ had long reached the Seventh Realm, Divine!
Qinggong was near Transformation Realm!
Therefore—
Even if Yan Chuan hadn’t yet broken the limit!
Even if Yan Chuan’s Qi-Blood was slightly inferior!
But in terms of speed, he was stronger than Huo Zhen, who had just broken the limit. In the dense forest, within the winding and twisting rock caves, Yan Chuan had even greater advantage, his speed surpassing even those like Wang Kuan and Jian Rong at a proper Limit-breaking Level.
The thief in front!
Equally couldn’t escape!
...
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Yue Junyang was running ahead, listening to the weapon clattering against the rock wall behind, his heart pounding uncontrollably. His left arm was hit by Wang Kuan, the arrowhead still lodged inside, causing stabbing pain, numbing one arm and half his body, greatly affecting his speed.
Clang clang clang~
The clattering sound grew closer, imposing relentless pressure.
But fortunately—
"There!"
Yue Junyang spotted a familiar fork, joy emerging on his face, immediately diving into the leftmost fork.
A dive!
A second turn!
A third loop!
And he saw another fork, with a luminous, flickering orb suspended mid-air, mysterious, mesmerising, and dreamy.
"Alive!"
Yue Junyang wasted not a second, charging headlong toward the orb.
But at that moment.
Yan Chuan arrived—
"Stop!"
A shout!
Flying Knife out!
Whoosh!
"Hidden Weapon!"
"Useless!"
Yue Junyang turned his back to Yan Chuan, a smile at the corner of his mouth, pulling out something resembling a token reflexively covering his back. In an instant, the palm-sized token transformed into a half-human-height shield—
Thick!
Sturdy!
Protecting all vital points at Yue Junyang’s back.
Flying Knife?
Never mind a hidden weapon!
Even arrows, even iron hammers might not break this shield!
But—
"Turn!"
Yan Chuan’s eyes widened, just as the Flying Knife, instead of heading straight, suddenly took a turn before the shield, slicing a sudden, swift and beautiful arc in the air—
Screech!
Going around the shield!
Precisely cutting his throat!
"Your Flying Knife—"
Yue Junyang turned around, eyes glaring at Yan Chuan!
Bam!
He crashed to the ground!
Breathed his last!
