Chapter 757: Chapter 209 Spring God’s Fury, Frightens the Old Taoist (10,000 Characters Plea for Subscription)_4

At that moment, Ba Tan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Boy, you dare to bargain with me?"

Chen Jie responded, "A garrison commander resorting to deceit? That’s truly laughable."

Ba Tan replied, "All is fair in war, boy, prepare to die."

After saying this, he immediately attacked Chen Jie, who promptly retaliated with the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, the fourth palm: Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness.

Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness, its essence profound and noble, was executed by Chen Jie as he clashed directly with Ba Tan.

Ba Tan used the Gale Palm Technique. Despite his corpulent, ball-like body, his movements were graceful, almost as swift as the wind, and his palms inevitably whipped up fierce gales.

His palm technique was exceptionally sharp, not something ordinary folks could withstand.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie countered with the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms while his feet performed the Thunderbolt Step, engaging Ba Tan in a struggle that was, for the time being, evenly matched.

At this point, on the third floor, the old Taoist and the monk watched the battling pair through a magical mirror.

The old Taoist squinted his eyes at the movements of Chen Jie’s steps, his expression revealing a hint of surprise.

Monk Peng then said, "This Ba Tan does have some skills. His Gale Eighteen Palm is almost fully mastered."

"Eh, senior, why do you keep staring at my brother?"

The monk looked at the old Taoist and spoke, to which the old Taoist pointed at Peng and asked, "Who taught your brother?"

Hearing this, Monk Peng was taken aback and said, "I don’t know. Why, are you interested in my brother?"

The old Taoist heard him but did not reply. Instead, he said, "Thunderbolt Step, it indeed is the Thunderbolt Step. It was taught in the Chang Chun Valley before it faced a calamitous disaster. After that, it was looted and spread throughout the Jianghu. So, it’s not surprising that he knows the Thunderbolt Step."

While the old Taoist thought this, back at the scene, after more than a dozen exchanges, Ba Tan realized that though his strength was superior to Chen Jiusi’s.

He found that capturing Chen Jiusi was still an impossible task. At that moment!

Thinking this, Ba Tan shouted, "Nan Batian, are you just going to watch? If you want to kill Chen Jiusi, when better than now!"

Hearing these words, Nan Batian immediately reacted, roaring, "Lord Ba Tan, I’m coming to your aid."

Having said that, he attacked Chen Jie, holding nothing back. His Mystic Ice Power surged to its peak, causing the surrounding air to drop in temperature by several degrees.

Chilling cold could be clearly felt.

Chen Jie, feeling this icy temperature, thought to himself, if this guy can create such coolness, capturing a Nan Batian in the summer and locking him in a cage could probably serve as an air conditioner.

This bizarre thought just flashed through Chen Jie’s mind when Nan Batian had already closed in and swung his Mystic Ice Power [Ice and Snow] at him.

This palm strike aimed directly at Chen Jie’s chest, and seeing this, Ba Tan swung his arms violently, instantly using a move from the Gale Eighteen Palm [Dragon Whirlwind].

He aimed directly at Chen Jie’s Dantian, seemingly intent on crippling it.

Seeing this, Chen Jie quickly thought through his options. Realizing that using the fierce Dragon Capturing Palms could indeed fend off these two attacks but would still heavily injure him, he opted instead for the Water Manipulation Palm.

Additionally, after evolving into the Chang Chun Skill, the defensive power of the Water Manipulation Palm had significantly increased.

It even had aspects of silent water-manipulating profundity.

Thinking this, Chen Jie immediately channeled his energy forth, waving his arms like billowing waves. Suddenly, ripples seemed to form between his hands.

[Water Manipulation Palm—Sealing and Closing!]

At that moment, the two palms of attack fiercely descended upon him, their techniques laced with piercing cold Gang Wind, horrifying in their intensity.

However, they struck Chen Jie’s Water Manipulation Palm, which countered firmness with softness and continuity with closure, sturdily withstanding the two antagonists’ palm power.

Simultaneously leveraging this force, Chen Jie swiftly retreated, pulling back to a safer distance.

And he managed this move quite beautifully.

"Water Manipulation Palm, Sealing and Closing!"

At this moment, on the third floor, the old Taoist suddenly stood up, his face filled with excitement. He had once again witnessed the skill from their Chang Chun Valley, the Water Manipulation Palm, indeed, it was that corresponding to the [Rain Water] Hand Technique from the Chang Chun Skill.

Excellent in defense, executed as Sealing and Closing, impervious like poured water, a top-tier defensive method!

Seeing the old Taoist’s excitement, Peng Yingyu laughed and said, "Senior, why are you getting so excited?"

The old Taoist replied, "He, he is using the Martial Arts from our Chang Chun Valley."

Hearing this, Peng Yingyu also paused and said, "Oh, what a coincidence! Looks like this brother of mine is truly a descendant sent from heaven for your Chang Chun Valley."

The old Taoist replied, "Yes, if his performance is anything to go by, he is indeed suitable to inherit our Chang Chun Valley. But if he can’t win this fight, it’s all for naught. A test is a test, and if one cannot pass, one doesn’t deserve to inherit our Chang Chun Valley."

Peng Yingyu responded, "Hehe, senior, you really are... stubborn!"

"Hmm?"

The old Taoist looked at Peng Yingyu, who said, "Isn’t it? He’s clearly a good successor, yet you have to be so demanding. No wonder your Chang Chun Valley has had difficulty with succession, you’re just too picky!"

The old Taoist said, "Chang Chun Valley is a legacy of the Human Emperor, not something to be taken lightly. Like you, monk, who learned some trickery and come strutting around."

Peng Yingyu said, "Yes, I know, your Chang Chun Skill comes from the supreme Martial Arts of the Ancient Times, the ’Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique.’ And this Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, created by Shennong, during the Ancient Times, was a Divine Technique meant to connect the four seasonal deities, protect the emperor, and ensure a bountiful harvest."
