Chapter 168 - 167: Fire Breaks Out

Chapter 168: Chapter 167: Fire Breaks Out

Tie Dan flew south all the way, arriving in Lanling just past the Chou Hour. From afar, he could see the great fire blazing in the northern Tai City, golden flames dancing wildly, green fire reaching to the sky, entire palaces burning and collapsing in the sea of fire.

The sky was filled with radiance, thunder roared, gods and demons danced chaotically, blades and sword shadows flashed everywhere, Fire Pearls smashed around wildly, clouds exploded, and countless people were fighting amidst the clouds.

Meanwhile, on the ground, people and horses were screaming, the city’s inhabitants were awakened by the great fire, and the noise was earth-shattering. Some fled barefoot, some took advantage of the chaos to loot, and the city was full of trampling and shoving. Many people crowded at the city gate, unable to escape. In the dark, intestines crushed flat littered everywhere, trampled by feet.

"What’s going on? Why has the fight started already? Weren’t we supposed to wait until I arrived to strike the Xiao Family first?"

Tie Dan drew out the Blood Blade to ask.

The Blood Blade condensed an eyeball, looked around, and said,

"Not my people, it seems there is another variable, others made the first move."

Tie Dan frowned,

"Other people? You have your people too?"

Blood Blade,

"Nonsense, the Xiao Family is such a big piece of fat sitting here, who wouldn’t be tempted by it!

However, the forces in the Central Plains are too many, the schemes are too complex, opportunities are not limited to this one place, and everyone is wary of each other. Whoever makes the first move will become a target, so they are all biding their time.

Now that Mr. He Lin has stepped forward for Divinity Transformation, someone is bound to seize the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!

But it doesn’t matter! This change is also within expectations! Follow the plan!"

"Follow the plan? Keep an eye on Mr. He Lin and chop?"

Tie Dan gazed at the dazzling scene of battle below, seeing no less than a couple dozen combatants of the Nascent Soul Realm engaged in pairwise fights, probably worried that the Nascent Soul Realm’s Daoist Skills would be too destructive and damage the palace city or the Immortal Ganoderma, thus unable to unfold their skills, deciding to settle victories outside first.

"Which one is Mr. He Lin..."

Blood Blade,

"Everything remains the same, do you see the fire in Tai City!

The people taking action are limited, the spiritual elixir Immortal Ganoderma is carefully protected by the Xiao Family, but is most afraid of being burnt by a wild fire!

Simply dash towards the large fire area and see where the Xiao Family heads to rescue, and you’ll know where the Immortal Ganoderma is hidden!

Finding the Immortal Ganoderma means finding Mr. He Lin!"

Indeed, the old ginger is spicier, even if the plan falters and the situation changes, the Law Enforcement Venerable still instantly figures out the key and makes straight for the core.

Tie Dan didn’t hesitate, taking advantage of the ongoing fierce battle between the Xiao Family guards and the attackers, and rushed towards the center of the fire in Tai City with his sword.

Yet, being an outsider Golden Core Cultivator, there were naturally those hidden in the shadows observing him. As soon as he tried to join the core battlefield, masked men dressed in black, lying in ambush, sprang out to block him!

Tie Dan snorted coldly, pressed down on his blade, preparing to perform White Tiger Leap...

Blood Blade sank,

"Riffraff! Don’t draw the blade!"

Lord Xiao chimed in,

"Good for nothing! Not worthy of using the flute!"

Tie Dan, "..."

Thus, the masked man seized the initiative, swish swish swish! He flicked a Golden Hoop Lock, a golden hammer to smash the ribs, and a golden needle to pierce the eye!

Tie Dan, with his sword on his back and the flute tucked in, couldn’t use them, yet his face remained unmoved.

With his left hand, he pinched the Gold Avoiding Technique, diverting the golden needle track away from himself, stopping them from coming close, and with his right hand, he channeled his Inner Strength Palm Power to slap the golden hammer into the ground, collapsing a section of the city wall, while spitting out sword light from his mouth, a flash of silver light splitting the Golden Hoop into two!

"Poof!"

The Golden Hoop was broken, the masked man’s Divine Sense was wounded, mouth spraying blood! He immediately flicked out a series of yellow talismans, which exploded into a smoky mist, intending to escape!

But Tie Dan wouldn’t allow him to flee, launching himself forward with turbo boost, and striking with a palm!

Penetrating chest and back, blowing the heart and lungs to pieces, the ribs splayed open like two doors!

Dead!

Blood Blade babbled,

"Your palm technique is lacking, why does it look like you’re clawing with dog paws? Did your master teach to use all your strength unwisely? External Palm Strength must retain three parts to prevent backlash, understand!"

Lord Xiao also ran his mouth,

"Quite right, the principles of Inner Breath Techniques are interconnected, when exerting power, leave some margin, using Inner Strength to suppress the vibration of muscles, tendons, and bones; otherwise, harming your enemy a thousand results in wounding yourself eight hundred, what’s the point of fighting, start over!"

Tie Dan, "..."

"Senior Brother!!"

"Scoundrel!!"

Then two more masked men wielding golden knives and golden maces charged at him from left and right.

Tie Dan relied on the turbo technique’s attribute to overpower them, dodging left and right, leaping and rolling, evading their combined attacks with uncommon agility, and taking advantage of their unfamiliarity with his style to exploit their weaknesses, counterattacking by breaking their arms with monstrous power, clawing one’s throat, and crashing the other’s head with a palm in less than three moves.

Blood Blade cursed and couldn’t stand it,

"Ugly, ugly! Fighting like this is so freaking ugly! Just like a wild dog! Can’t kill anyone with a sword or blade without them? I can’t watch anymore! Follow my lead!"

Then, a flash of red light appeared before Tie Dan eyes, and he saw a blood shadow projected from his Divine Court, performing dances with fists, palms, legs, fingers, and claws, displaying supreme martial arts sets. Not only were the moves fierce and powerful, but the actions themselves were graceful and dashing, at least far better looking than Tie Dan’s pouncing and rolling Dog Fist...

Well, what’s wrong with looking ugly? Dog Fist is quite functional, you know! Didn’t you see how he suddenly flopped and rolled on the ground, leaving those two dumbfounded...

But Lord Xiao also had a huge complaint,

"Follow his lead, follow his lead! Rolling and crawling like that! Style! Style!

Toasting under the firmament, standing gracefully like a jade tree, dragon steed with jade bones, still breathtaking as if reaching heaven!

A man can be plain-looking, can be poor as dirt, but commanding presence, dignity, stance, must never collapse!"

Oh, these two are just killing me...

"Traitors and scoundrels!"

At this time, a group of Xiao Family guards rushed up, amidst the surging fire and rolling smoke, their eyes bloodshot from killing. Not caring whose side Tie Dan was on, they raised their knives to hack.

Tie Dan also didn’t bother explaining, barehanded fighting them. Since the two old geezers wouldn’t let him use Dog-shaped Fist, he used his finger as sword, improvising, condensing Red Evil Sword Qi at his fingertips to stab their vital organs.

The blood shadow also noticed Tie Dan’s fondness for pointing and poking, swirling human figures, passing several superior acupoint techniques at him, obviously showcasing the teachings of the Three Great Sects, which were diverse and harmonious. This Eastern Venerable indeed deserved to be the top expert of the Divine Sect and a martial grandmaster!

Truth be told, even though Tie Dan had a feud with the Divine Sect, they really were inclusive and never held back. Now, as the Eastern Venerable displayed, the finger technique acupoint skills of the Three Great Sects clearly had distinct characteristics.

For instance, the Immortal Palace’s acupoint skills focused on grappling methods, targeting nerve gathering nodes, grabbing them to paralyze half the body, capturing opponents alive. This resembled professional combat techniques and combat tactics.

The Mystic Sect’s acupoint skill, usually involving proper Qi Gong finger techniques, targeted similar Inner Boxing experts. First, observing the opponent’s Qi Meridian Circulation, confirming their general Qi Gong familiarity, then condensing the restraining True Qi into a needle, piercing breathing Qi Caves, sealing practice meridians, disturbing the opponent’s Qi Body circulation, thus sealing their cultivation techniques, or breaking their inner strength. Without considerable inner strength cultivation and knowledge, it wielded no effect.

The technique taught by the Divine Sect was even more graceful. It complemented the uniquely practiced Mystic Sect Qi Meridian cultivation method, specifically targeting Qi Meridian dead points, injecting Divine Sect inner breath into opponents, reversing along these dead points. Without learning the Divine Sect’s corresponding dissolution methods, opponents immediately experience reversed meridians, possessed by demons, spewing blood, exploding to death.

Tie Dan was already using finger technique like swordsmanship, mainly now, his thumb and index finger combined, one finger of Blood Breath, one finger of sword energy, lashing out with fiery blaze like blood, the red breath like fire, stabbing like burning, poking with heart-rending force.

The Law Enforcement Venerable was proficient, not limiting to finger technique instructions, to avoid Tie Dan rolling around frequently, he also integrated several shifting and changing position Qinggong movement techniques, and Tornado Kick leg martial arts into his martial arts arsenal.

Thus, Tie Dan followed that blood-red shadow’s step technique, weaving through the guard house servant’s blade array, dodging side to side, shifting and changing position, striking from afar with finger force, kicking up close, breaking several at a glance, knocking down countless warriors, advancing through the pass, breaking into the palace, like an action star, suavely.

To be honest, Tie Dan didn’t actually like this fighting style.

After all, he had to maintain appearance and fight stylishly, there were too many fake moves, and after fighting, he had to take extra steps to finish with a pose, highlighting his form. His current smoothness was solely based on his high skill level overpowering opponents easily.

When it really comes down to life-or-death combat or facing someone stronger, posturing doesn’t help, these flashy techniques are far less effective than gouging eyes, stomping feet, and low blows.

But Blood Blade and Lord Xiao were very satisfied.

"Good, good, you have some talent, indeed no wonder the Holy Daughter favors you!"

"Yes, yes, much better this way, now you display a masterly style, Young Hero demeanor!"

Ah...so annoying...
