I Can Merge Techniques

Chapter 586 - 169: Who is Crazier? Gifted the Body Tempering Holy Medicine

’Couldn’t they have teamed up and coordinated just a little? Did she have to be so crude and reckless, completely disregarding her teammate’s safety?’ Wang Yiyi cursed inwardly, but she had no choice but to immediately execute her Body Technique. With a flash, she reluctantly shifted to the perimeter. But the instant she moved, creating a brief gap in the encirclement— "HAHAHAHAHA!" The Ghost Bone Elder’s wild laughter suddenly erupted, filled with endless mockery and triumph. It was ear-piercing. "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" The original two clouds of black smoke instantly exploded again, transforming into seven plumes of incredibly dense black smoke! The seven plumes of smoke spun rapidly in the air, their auras a chaotic mess, making it impossible to tell which was the main clone’s true body. Seeing this, Wang Yiyi hastily shouted a warning, "Be careful! That old monster isn’t in his original body! His Divine Sense can disperse and regroup at will! Your sword strike can’t lock onto him at all..." Princess Zhaohua heard her, her expression still as cold as ice. She merely uttered three cold words: "Crush them all." The moment her voice fell, the hundred-foot-long giant sword let out a deep HUMMMMM. Its Sword Momentum had fully formed, poised to strike down and annihilate everything! But unexpectedly, something changed in a flash! Instead of scattering and fleeing under the terrifying pressure of the giant sword, the seven plumes of black smoke sped up, whistling through the air as they lunged straight for Chu Fan! Chu Fan was fast, but how could he compare to an old monster like this? In just the blink of an eye, the distance between them had shortened considerably! If Princess Zhaohua forced the strike, the Ghost Bone Elder’s clone might be turned to ash. But Chu Fan would also be utterly annihilated! "Boy, surrender without a fight!" The seven streams of black smoke merged into one in an instant, forming a monstrous, giant face less than fifty feet from Chu Fan! WHOOSH! Chu Fan executed the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step. His figure flickered and split into nine. The nine Chu Fans scattered, each charging in a different direction! The next moment, a ghostly claw shot out from the black smoke and instantly seized one of the Chu Fans! "An Illusion?" Grasping nothing but air, the Ghost Bone Elder was stunned for a moment. Even with the strength of his Divine Sense, he couldn’t tell which of the nine Chu Fans was the real one! "Hmph!" Nine jet-black swords shot out from the smoke, striking at the nine Chu Fans! Launched later but arriving first, the swords instantly caught up to all the Chu Fans! With a soft SHING, eight of the "Chu Fan" figures were pierced through by the swords! The last Chu Fan executed the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step again, leaving a trail of Residual Images to evade the Black Sword! "Found you!" The Ghost Bone Elder cackled strangely as the black smoke swirled in mid-air and dove straight for Chu Fan! Before the black smoke even arrived, a frigid killing intent, as if from the nine hells, had already locked onto Chu Fan. It made Chu Fan feel as if his very blood was about to freeze! Behind him, Princess Zhaohua’s brow furrowed tightly. If she were to bring her sword down now, she would inevitably kill Chu Fan along with the enemy. ’That Demon Suppression Guard had taken one of my sword strikes before, but I hadn’t used my full power then. That blow was nothing compared to this one...’ After a moment’s hesitation, her Sword Momentum faltered. "Hey! Little Demon Suppression Guard, get out of the way!" Wang Yiyi cried out in alarm. The long spear left her hand, transforming into a crimson rainbow as it blasted toward the black smoke enveloping the Ghost Bone Elder! ’A Demon Suppression Guard is a Demon Suppression Guard. Why add the’little’?’ Chu Fan thought to himself. In that critical moment, a hair’s breadth from death, just as the black smoke was about to overtake Chu Fan— he suddenly made a move that left everyone stunned speechless! He abruptly spun around, not to face the enemy, but to fall backward! With a dull THUD... Chu Fan landed on all fours, but not in an ordinary prone position. He had completely flipped over, his back to the ground, his face and stomach pointing upward, with his limbs supporting him in reverse! Then, like a giant human spider, he maintained this shamefully bizarre, contorted posture and began to scuttle backward at high speed, his limbs moving in a frantic, alternating rhythm. THUD, THUD, THUD! "???" At that moment, Princess Zhaohua, who was preparing to strike; Wang Yiyi, who was rushing to the rescue; and Li Qingcang, who had the face of a child but the air of a "profound master," all drew a complete blank. What kind of Body Technique was this? Why was he fleeing with his belly to the sky? Besides, the posture was utterly ridiculous, and his speed was clearly slower than before! "Princess Zhaohua, what are you waiting for? Strike!" Chu Fan shouted at the top of his lungs. "..." Everyone was stunned again. Chu Fan was telling Princess Zhaohua to strike? If that sword came down, wouldn’t he be turned to ash along with the Ghost Bone Elder? Princess Zhaohua silently watched the scene unfold. In the end, the sword strike never fell. In an instant, Chu Fan had fled another hundred feet or so. But the black smoke behind him had already caught up, transforming into a massive demonic shadow the size of a house! In the shadow’s hand, a black scythe condensed from Death Qi let out a Sky Splitting shriek as it ruthlessly chopped down at the "human spider" on the ground! "Boy, take this strike from me!" The Ghost Bone Elder shrieked, his strange laugh piercing the air. And yet, facing this fatal scythe, the strangely postured Chu Fan on the ground showed no fear on his face. Since Princess Zhaohua was unwilling to strike, he had no choice but to reveal a Bottom Card. The next moment— WHOOSH! Just as the black scythe came down, Chu Fan vanished into thin air! It happened without any warning, as if he had been erased from the world itself. BOOM!!! The giant black scythe slammed violently into the earth. Earth and stone shattered as a trench hundreds of feet deep instantly appeared. But the trench was empty, without a single drop of blood. "How is that possible?!" The Ghost Bone Elder’s incredulous shriek echoed from within the black smoke. His Divine Sense had locked onto Chu Fan and covered the entire vicinity. But now, there was no trace of Chu Fan to be found. At almost the same instant, a thousand feet from the center of the explosion... where Chu Fan had first stood and the Talisman had burned, the space rippled slightly, and Chu Fan’s figure appeared out of thin air. The moment he appeared, he roared at the top of his lungs, "Strike!" "Strike!" At almost the same time, Princess Zhaohua let out a sharp cry. The giant sword, which had been hovering in mid-air for so long, finally descended without hesitation, crashing down with world-destroying power!
