Chapter 453: Chapter 302 Flesh Editing

Watching the fist wrapped in a pale blue stream of energy rapidly approaching, Xu Yuan knew very well that he shouldn’t attempt to take the punch head-on.

As a person cultivating energy, engaging in a physical contest of strength with a martial artist was a foolish thing to do.

He had far too many other options to choose from,

such as using Step Void Slash to dodge its sharp edge, or the Qingyu Sword in his hand to inflict a counter-damage on Manfang, or even condensing a protective barrier in front of him.

But for some reason,

Xu Yuan just wanted to take on the Barbarian King’s punch with his flesh this time.

And this almost instinctual desire suppressed his logic and battle instincts.

In the air that seemed to solidify, as that graceful figure was blasted away, his palm and the fist collided with a thunderous impact.

Silently,

the shattered ground and the hurricane that was raised directly swept away everything in the vicinity.

In that moment, a flicker of astonishment finally appeared in Chi Su’s profound eyes.

The mild cold season that was ravaging Dayan’s Northern Frontier and the Three Prefectures was but a trifle compared to the frigidity of the Extreme Black Lands.

To survive, even infants had to begin physical training under the guidance of the tribal elders.

Any child who couldn’t adapt would die in this desperate cold.

This bitter cold restricted the population of the Barbarian Tribes and limited their options for cultivating paths, but it also forged their exceptionally tenacious bodies.

Among those of the same rank, hardly any in the vast world could compare to the might of a barbarian’s physique, except maybe some creatures of the Ancient Abyss or the Demon Race.

But at that moment,

his fist was caught by the seemingly fragile arm of the human before him—the one who had supplied him with cultivation energy.

Oh, no, it should be called a ghoul.

The punch thrown by his towering figure was just taken by the slightly delicate arm.

Xu Yuan and the Barbarian King’s test of strength caused the surrounding air to tremble, as pale blue and crimson streams of Origin Qi wildly scattered in stripes all around!

However, only a slight surprise showed in Chi Su’s eyes.

"Sss...."

As he opened his lips, a breath of air was drawn into his lungs, and the pale blue barbaric patterns around Chi Su suddenly shone brightly, an eye-catching circle of light abruptly encircled his bulging arm......

"BOOM!!!!!"

The sudden massive force completely fractured Xu Yuan’s arms below, and the residual force of the punch blast created a pit in the ground, dozens of feet deep and two feet in diameter!

And this was just the beginning.

In the moment of imbalance during the grapple, Xu Yuan’s body uncontrollably tilted to the left.

Seizing this brief opportunity,

Chi Su’s foot exerted tremendous force, shattering the stone surface in an instant, and his other muscular, bulging leg became a pale blue streak of light in the darkness, slicing an arc towards Xu Yuan.

But just before it hit Xu Yuan’s body, a sudden change occurred, and a ring of light like the one before encircled Chi Su’s lower leg.

Immediately,

the force and speed of the leg whip further exploded, slashing diagonally across Xu Yuan’s right shoulder!

"CRACK!"

No blood splattered, but Xu Yuan’s entire right shoulder, along with the bones and flesh below, collapsed, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

Left hand disabled, right shoulder bone shattered and collapsed, such injuries would be considered severe even for someone who achieved Mortal Transcendence!

"Changtian!!"

Sent flying back, Li Qingyan leaned against the wall inside the cave, her naked body wrapped in a mantle, her fair skin peeking through the billowing winds. Yet her beautiful eyes were firmly fixed on the figure in the middle of the battlefield, made to look all the more diminutive by the Barbarian King’s robust and towering presence.

But the next moment,

the worry in her eyes shifted to consternation.

He didn’t fall, that bloodstained figure was still standing, albeit at a more skewed angle.

In the silence, Xu Yuan slowly lifted his eyes that lacked whites and had turned crimson.

Immediately,

he shouldered the leg of the Barbarian King, which had been diagonally slashed onto his right shoulder, and straightened his form little by little.

During this process,

a series of "click and clack" sounds echoed disconcertingly in the silent cave.

His utterly broken left arm was forcefully twisted back into position amid the spine-chilling noises, and the collapsed right shoulder gradually pushed up Chi Su’s chopping leg bit by bit and then fell back into place.

After standing up straight, Xu Yuan slowly stretched out his hand to grab the Barbarian King’s lower leg.

"BANG!"

Chi Su stamped his foot, and for the first time, retreated.

He quickly created distance between himself and the eerie blood-clothed man.

All restored,

Xu Yuan nonchalantly patted his recently collapsed right shoulder and grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, then smiled brilliantly at the Barbarian King:

"Chi Su, your attack feels like cotton. Can you make it any stronger?"

Chi Su stood still, his pale blue eyes pondering over Xu Yuan:

"Even for a ghoul, my ’Fist Intent’ should obstruct your recovery. So was it because of that piece of clothing just now?"

"This young master put a lot of effort into absorbing those fungal mats, surely not just for amusement, right?"

Xu Yuan grinned, and then stretched the sleeve of his blood jade glass robe, but his expression momentarily froze.

Gone.

The brownish-red fungal armor that had always clung to him had disappeared.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

Fungal mats are a by-product of ghouls and naturally mesh best with a ghoul’s body; the Black Death Bacterial Armor had likely merged into his body.

But the problem was,

such a close-fitting change should be clearly perceptible through the skin, even for an ordinary person, not to mention his heightened senses as a transcendent ghoul.

Why was he totally unaware of it now?
