Chapter 498: Fang Bai’s Insane Move!

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Fang Bai’s Insane Move!

Xuan Nan saw Fang Bai’s attacks coming like a tide, almost crazily, and faintly guessed what he was thinking—he intended to find Fang Bai’s flaw and defeat him so that both sides could rest.

However, Fang Bai’s combat strength was not much weaker than his, with each move as ferocious as the last, True Yuan grandly enveloping everything about; Xuan Nan for a moment couldn’t find a good opportunity to win with a single strike. Instead, if he was not careful, he could be defeated.

"This young benefactor Fang, treating me as a practice target!"

A wry smile emerged on the corner of Xuan Nan’s mouth, and, with no other choice, he concentrated and put forth his full effort to respond.

Two Heaven Level masters, their figures separating and joining on the stone platform, fists and feet constantly colliding, the sounds of tiger’s roar and thunder occasionally emanating, as well as the rumbling sound of stone chunks being smashed and scattered into the air.

Their speed was so fast it dazzled the onlookers; besides Long Jingtian, no one else could clearly see what was happening.

Xuan Nan, ultimately, was one notch stronger than Fang Bai. At the beginning, Fang Bai took the initiative and the upper hand, but shortly after, Xuan Nan turned the tables and pressed on Fang Bai. Out of ten moves, seven or eight were his attacks.

But as soon as he showed any slack, Fang Bai would launch a fierce counterattack.

Fang Bai seemed like an unkillable roach, repeatedly repelled by Xuan Nan, but time and again, he charged back, exhibiting an ever more valiant fighting spirit.

Xuan Nan, who had secluded himself for decades in the "Martial Dao Tower," believed he had refined his state of mind to one beyond joy and sorrow, detached from worldly matters. Yet this battle with Fang Bai stirred in him a competitive spirit, making him fight with full force and without mercy in each and every move and pose.

Xuan Nan’s attacks carried a monumental momentum, majestic and imposing, like huge waves sweeping across, crashing against the shore, seeking to destroy and engulf everything in their path.

However, Fang Bai was like a small boat amongst these giant waves, bobbing and drifting, seemingly at risk of capsizing at any moment, yet always managing to turn perils into safety at the last second.

"Splendid! Absolutely splendid!"

Long Jingtian was utterly captivated, his face full of excitement.

From the movement techniques and combat between Fang Bai and Xuan Nan, he glimpsed some Martial Dao Arcane that he himself had realized, and something clicked in his mind, subtly elevating his cultivation level.

On the stone platform, the duel between the old and young grew faster, the True Yuan even fiercer, the fight increasingly intense. Fang Bai, the one slightly weaker, finally began to show signs of injury.

Bang——

Amidst the myriad palm shadows, Fang Bai’s chest was struck by Xuan Nan’s palm, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he staggered back several meters.

...

Whoosh——

Xuan Nan’s monk robes whipped violently, and in an instant, snowflakes flew like arrows, the wild wind cut like knives, enveloping Fang Bai. One by one, inch-long wounds appeared on Fang Bai’s body, turning him into a bloodied figure in an instant.

...

Boom——

With their four fists colliding, Fang Bai’s body was sent flying high, blood spraying the sky, nearly being blasted down off the stone platform.

...

On the surface, Fang Bai’s injuries seemed quite severe, but in fact, most of them were just superficial. The few mouthfuls of blood he spat out were due to the internal impact from the True Yuan Force, creating some congestion within his body, which Fang Bai intentionally expelled.

After expelling the congested blood, the circulation of True Yuan became even smoother, and Fang Bai actually felt more comfortable than before.

Fang Bai’s physical body was tough, such that even if he used his flesh to directly withstand the attacks of martial artists below the Heaven Level, he wouldn’t get injured. However, now he was repeatedly injured by Xuan Nan, which showed just how sharp and powerful Xuan Nan’s attacks were.

As long as his inner organs were not severely damaged, his combat power wouldn’t be significantly affected. Fang Bai circulated his cultivation technique and stimulated his True Yuan, carrying his injuries with him as he shouted furiously. He continued to fiercely battle with Xuan Nan like a devilish deity.

Xuan Nan had made Fang Bai spit out fresh blood multiple times, thinking he would lose his ability to fight and voluntarily concede defeat. However, with every retreat after being struck, Fang Bai would casually wipe away the bloodstains and then pounce back into the fray, fighting tenaciously with him,

making Xuan Nan inwardly curse his luck.

Although Xuan Nan seemed to have the upper hand, with every repulsion of Fang Bai, the force of the counterattack he received was not small either, causing him quite some trouble. The excessive consumption of True Yuan made his complexion appear a few shades paler than before the exchange of blows, and his slim body was trembling slightly, like a flickering candle in the wind that could be snuffed out at any moment.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of exchanges had passed, and the huge stone platform under Fang Bai and Xuan Nan’s feet had cracked even more, creating larger fissures, with some areas even collapsing.

The cultivation technique practiced by Fang Bai was unique. Even though the Chaos Origin Energy in his Qi Sea was still weak and not at the state of circulating and generating endlessly, when he circulated his cultivation technique, he was constantly able to absorb Essence Energy from between heaven and earth. This was something Xuan Nan could not compare with.

Therefore, as Fang Bai consumed True Yuan, he could also receive replenishment from the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy. In contrast, Xuan Nan’s True Yuan was swiftly and continuously diminishing. Under this cycle of depletion and augmentation, Fang Bai gradually overturned the disadvantage and managed to fight Xuan Nan to a draw, with both defense and offense.

If Fang Bai was to take out some Essence Stones from his Spatial Ring during the battle and absorb Essence Energy to replenish himself at any time, he might have gained the upper hand long ago. But that would be akin to opportunism; winning against Xuan Nan in such a manner would be meaningless to Fang Bai, and he disdained to do it.

In fact, Fang Bai had many more trump cards he could use. Defeating Xuan Nan wouldn’t be difficult.

For instance, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade he obtained from Zhuge Dingtian’s tomb chamber was an extremely powerful Spiritual Artifact. With a single slash, Xuan Nan would find it very difficult to defend.

But Fang Bai wanted to fight Xuan Nan relying purely on his own strength, pushing his potential to its utmost limit.

Xuan Nan saw that Fang Bai was covered in wounds. Had it been any other martial artist, they would have already succumbed. Yet, Fang Bai remained as vigorous as a dragon, which made Xuan Nan sigh at his formidable physical strength and also grow somewhat anxious. He thought that if the fight continued this way, he might be the one to face defeat.

After all, Xuan Nan was already 120 years old. Although his True Yuan was profound, his bodily functions had begun to decline and couldn’t compare with those of a young person brimming with vitality. Once his True Yuan was exhausted, he could not contend with Fang Bai with sheer physical strength alone.

"Amitabha! Young Benefactor Fang, we have fought for too long. Victory or defeat will be decided in this last move!"

All of a sudden, Xuan Nan’s eyes blazed with intent as he burst into a roar.

His True Yuan roared like a lion, transforming into waves of sound that burst forth from his mouth, causing the space before him to seemingly ripple with the vibrations.

With the horrifying sound of the lion’s roar, he flipped his right palm and struck out towards Fang Bai.

One palm became ten, ten palms became a hundred, a hundred became a thousand, as if a thousand Buddhas were simultaneously striking out, their palms covering the sky and enveloping Fang Bai from all sides.

Buddhist Lion Roar!

Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm!

Xuan Nan executed two great Shaolin ultimate moves at the same time, and he did not hesitate to stimulate his potential, doubling the power of his attack.

Xuan Nan had made up his mind to wholly defeat Fang Bai with this final strike.

Not only to win honor for himself but also to gain prestige for the Shaolin.

No one expected that in the face of Xuan Nan’s strongest strike, Fang Bai would make a move that left everyone dumbstruck in astonishment.

He actually met Xuan Nan’s Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm with his own chest.
