"Bam!!"
On the beach, two figures collided violently.
Lu Sheng's palms were like blades, chopping repeatedly at Gongsun Zhanglan's arms. Bam bam bam bam! The continuous sounds of heavy collisions reverberated like thunder in the surrounding forest.
"HAH!!"
Gongsun Zhanglan was sent reeling back. Enraged, he roared and gathered eighty percent of his Prime Mystic Palm force into a single palm, slamming it viciously at Lu Sheng's temple.
If this palm landed, Lu Sheng's brain would have burst open on the spot.
"Ultimate Crimson!" Lu Sheng's palms turned crimson. The veins on his arms bulged as a blood vein rushed to his brow, vaguely forming the character "Chuan" between his eyes.
His right palm trembled as he met the attack head-on.
"Bam!"
Another dull thud. Both of them retreated more than ten steps.
Only a few dozen breaths had passed since Lu Sheng flew over the water, and the two of them had exchanged more than ten blows without a clear victor emerging.
"Good, good, good! As expected of an expert favored by Hong Mingzi. I've underestimated you! "Gongsun Zhanglan raised his right arm. Looking at his tattered sleeve, a green light flashed across his face.
Even now, he could still feel a burning pain in his palm. It was exactly the same as when he had fought with Hong Mingzi. How could he not know that Hong Mingzi had imparted Ultimate Crimson Mantra to Lu Sheng?
Lu Sheng also looked at his tattered sleeve and grinned.
"Sect Master Gongsun sure is hale and hearty to be able to withstand my ambush. I thought I wouldn't have to use my saber, "he reached for the saber behind his waist and slowly pulled it out.
Gongsun Zhanglan narrowed his eyes. He knew that he had no choice but to use his trump card. His Prime Mystic Palm force slowly rose to its peak. A green light flashed across his face. This was a natural phenomenon when one's palm force was raised to its peak.
"Clang!"
With a tiger's roar, Lu Sheng tore off his clothes and unsheathed his saber, shooting toward Gongsun Zhanglan in a streak of cold light.
…
"So strong …" On the boat, Taishu stared at the two people fighting on the beach in shock. "With this level of skill, he's definitely not a nobody. He can be considered as a famous person in the Chinese plains!"
Bian Su's eyes were completely devoid of drunkenness as she stared at the two people fighting fiercely on the shore, her eyes filled with deep shock.
"Great Uncle, if my father was still alive, do you think he would be able to fight against these two?"
Tai-shu was silent for a moment before he gently shook his head.
"I'm afraid not. Although Old Master is strong, he is still a step away from that realm. "
When Bian Su heard that, she did not say anything else, but her eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation.
At this moment, many young masters and young ladies on the boat also noticed the abnormality and walked to the bow of the boat to take a look. After seeing the battle on the shore, these people immediately became excited.
"Isn't that Gang Leader Gongsun?!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed. "The second in command of Crimson Whale Sect, Sect Master Gongsun Zhanglan!?"
As soon as he said this, everyone else on the ship was shocked. Watching the two of them fight on the beach, those who knew martial arts could tell that the two of them were fighting to the death.
"Who can fight Crimson Whale Sect's Deputy Sect Master to the death?!" someone exclaimed.
Crimson Whale Sect's reputation was second to none in the entire Northern Lands. Anyone with some connections would have more or less heard of the name of the Number One Sect in the Northern Lands.
And yet, Gongsun Zhanglan, as the Deputy Sect Master, was actually going into battle bare-handedly.
"Is it Crimson Whale Sect …?" Bian Su also heard these words and the look in her eyes deepened.
"Tai-shu, what do you think, if I take that thing …"
Standing by the side, Tai-shu's pupils constricted. He did not speak but remained silent.
"Splash!"
Water splashed everywhere.
At this moment, Lu Sheng and Gongsun Zhanglan were fighting with all their might. Given that their cultivation levels were not too far apart, what mattered was their moves, experience and killing moves.
In terms of moves, Lu Sheng was at an extreme disadvantage. Despite his immense inner force, it was useless if he could not hit his opponent. Most of the time, he was struck by Gongsun Zhanglan's flank. Gongsun Zhanglan dodged or deflected his attacks with ease.
Although Black Tiger Saber Technique was an Intent Proficiency saber technique, its moves were ultimately too simple. It was easy to grasp and predict.
After all, it was only a third-rate saber technique. For Lu Sheng to cultivate it to this level, it was already extremely powerful. Against average experts, it could still be used, but against the battle-hardened Gongsun Zhanglan, its flaws were easily exploited. If not for his hard body skill, which allowed him to attack without defending, he would have been at a disadvantage long ago.
He repeatedly executed Black Tiger Saber Technique from different angles, slashing at his opponent. Then, it was repeatedly parried.
Gongsun Zhanglan was also feeling rather aggrieved. He had concentrated all his inner force into the Prime Mystic Palm, but every time he tried to engage in close combat, he was forced back by Lu Sheng's ferocious fighting style. He had no choice but to first repel Lu Sheng's saber.
Even if he wanted to die, he still wanted to live!
"Clang!"
Gongsun Zhanglan's palms swung rapidly, deflecting the saber blade aimed at his neck. His body dashed forward at high speed.
"Hidden Latch of Life and Death!" The Primordial Mystic Palm's palm force seemed heavy, but it was actually light as a feather.
This move was the culmination of Gongsun Zhanglan's martial prowess in the Primordial Mystic Palm. It looked gentle on the surface, but if one ignored it, it could instantly explode with the pinnacle of the Primordial Mystic Palm's essence.
Lu Sheng's saber was slapped askew. Dozens of moves were fruitless, and he was infuriated. Now, he saw his opponent's light palm strike coming at him, intending to meet force with force. He was overjoyed. Ultimate Crimson Mantra activated the Ultimate Crimson Qi in his body, and he met it with a palm strike in a frenzy. The Heart-Shattering Palm's force was pushed to the limit.
"Poof!"
The two palms met in an instant. Lu Sheng first felt his opponent's palm force float about, as if he had struck a ball of cotton. Then, a huge wave of inner force surged out like a flash flood. This wave of inner force was completely different from before. It was like a huge hammer, hard beyond compare, smashing viciously into the center of his palm.
"Primordial Mystic Extreme Void!!" Gongsun Zhanglan's eyes widened. His entire body trembled violently. Dozens of years of inner force surged out, gushing toward his opponent's palm like a flash flood. All of it was concentrated on a single palm and struck out.
"HAHAHAHA!! Let's see who dies first!! " Lu Sheng had misjudged his opponent's palm force. His own inner force hit empty air, and he was struck by a massive palm force that could topple mountains and overturn seas. Despite his mistake, he laughed maniacally, circulating Ultimate Crimson Mantra to defend himself.
"Yin Yang Jade Crane! DIE!! "he roared. Letting go of his saber, he struck out with a palm of his own. It struck Gongsun Zhanglan's side viciously.
He had finally used his trump card. Yin Yang Jade Crane Skill was fully channeled.
"BAM!!!"
Both of them were struck at the same time.
Lu Sheng stumbled a few steps back. His face flushed red. Clearly, he had suffered internal injuries.
Gongsun Zhanglan staggered more than ten steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His right arm hung limply, clearly broken.
"Good palm force!" Even though it was his opponent, he could not help but praise. Touching his fractured right arm, Gongsun Zhanglan sighed.
"What a pity …"
"SWISH!"
In an instant, he raised his left arm and shot out a beam of black light. It was a black dart. Attached to the dart was a black chain.
"Soul Locking Spear!" Watching the battle from afar, old Sect Master could not help but exclaim. "He's still cultivating this evil skill!!"
"Chain Soul Locking Spear … a top-notch evil skill that can only be cultivated by consuming human blood. Didn't Gongsun Zhanglan personally promise to abolish this skill all those years ago?!" Elder Wang was both shocked and furious.
"Now that Soul Locking Spear is out, this battle must stop! This is no longer a fair duel! "Having said that, Hong Mingzi's expression was solemn. He took a step forward, intending to leap ashore.
"Old Sect Master wishes to interfere in this deathmatch?" Fang Zhidong stood facing the shore where the bamboo raft was, his hands clasped behind his back as he stared silently at Hong Mingzi and Elder Wang.
"This isn't the behavior of an elder. Whether it's the righteous or evil path, if one wishes to survive in this chaotic world, strength is the only thing that matters. Old Sect Master still can't see through this? "
Fang Zhidong was a very charming and handsome man. He had phoenix eyes, a goatee, and a thin figure. His face had the demeanor of a famous scholar. He did not look like a martial arts expert, but more like a famous scholar who dabbled in literature and ink.
However, Hong Mingzi knew very well that Fang Zhidong's Four Extremities Primordial Break was extraordinary. Even with his strength, he would need at least a hundred moves to defeat his opponent. If he were still young, he would be able to defeat this person within twenty moves. But now that he was old and weak, he was far from his peak.
"Fang Zhidong, are you really going to stop me?" Hong Mingzi asked in a low voice.
"Old Sect Master, why do you say that? I'm just here to be a witness and maintain the fairness of the duel," Fang Zhidong smiled as he looked at the battle.
The Soul Locking Spear whistled sharply in Gongsun Zhanglan's hands. Its power was even more ferocious than when he used Prime Mystic Palm.
Lu Sheng dodged repeatedly. He had no experience facing such a strange weapon and was momentarily forced into a perilous situation.
"Chi!"
As he retreated, he casually pulled out the long saber stuck in the ground.
"Clang! Clang!
Clang! "The Soul Locking Spear lashed out continuously at Lu Sheng's saber. Like long black whips, it was extremely powerful.
In a moment of carelessness, Lu Sheng was struck in the side. He retreated a few steps, a deep gash opened up on his waist. The Soul Locking Spear was far away and he had no way of getting close to it. Moreover, it was very powerful.
He looked at the wound on his waist. Although he had a hard body skill, it had still opened up a wound the length of a palm. Blood seeped out slowly, quickly staining his clothes red.
But it was only for a moment. Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill quickly closed up the wound and stopped the bleeding.
"Heh!"
He felt a tingling sensation emanating from his waist, which was quickly suppressed by Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill. Although it was quickly suppressed by Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill, it also caused the look in Lu Sheng's eyes to change.
"Not bad, it's actually a poison skill …"
Gongsun Zhanglan did not press his advantage. His forehead was beaded with sweat. After exchanging dozens of consecutive blows with all his might, every blow was executed at full force. Even the inner force he had accumulated over decades could not withstand such exhaustion. In a short span of a dozen breaths, his inner force was mostly depleted. He needed time to recover his Qi.
"Even if you beg for mercy now, it's too late," he exhaled lightly. "Those struck by my Soul Locking Spear will have their blood vessels clogged within two hours when the force seeps through their skin. The force will flow into their heart through their arteries, causing them to die from a blood clot."
"Is that so?" Lu Sheng raised his saber, straightened his back and walked slowly towards Gongsun Zhanglan.
The wound on his waist did not change at all. Gongsun Zhanglan's pupils shrank when he saw this.
"You …" He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Lu Sheng's body expanding rapidly. Veins popped out on his bare upper body and his muscles bulged. His entire person seemed to have swelled up. The blood on his brow deepened.
'Ever since I created this move, this is the first time I'm using it on a human,' Lu Sheng approached. His body swelled with two completely different inner force auras.
'Don't let me down …'
"What …!" Gongsun Zhanglan was about to speak when he saw Lu Sheng charging towards him. His speed was more than twice as fast as before.
The immense force caused the saber's blade to explode with a deafening sound.
This move of Lu Sheng's was more powerful than all his previous saber moves. It did not seem like it was executed by a single person.
Gongsun Zhanglan felt a prickling pain on his eyelids. The saber's blade was too fast, leaving only an afterimage in his eyes.
With no time to think, he instinctively raised his spear in front of him. The tip of the spear trembled in a series of sparks.
"BOOM!!!"
The collision of the saber and spear did not produce the sound of metal clashing, but a violent explosion of inner force.
