Chapter 67 An Inescapable Slap
Lu Jin felt the tremendous force of the impact from his fist bones, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
His punch was one that no ordinary fellow disciple would dare to take head-on!
But Zhuge Yan not only accepted the punch, but the force of the punch was fierce and violent, with an explosive force that could destroy everything, which was the essence of Bajiquan's "Collapse and Shock Attack"!
What alarmed him even more was that the reverse-life white qi covering the opponent's fist was extremely condensed, and its defensive power was in no way inferior to his own reverse-life qi, which he had cultivated for many years!
"That was great! Let's do it again!"
Lu Jin's fighting spirit was completely ignited, and his Qi of Reversal of Life was activated once more!
He transformed his fist into a palm, the edge of which was like a knife, whistling sharply as it sliced through the air, and unleashed a series of strikes at Zhuge Yan's neck and ribs.
Zhuge Yan's aura was deep and profound. Although the mystery had not yet been unlocked, the extraordinary dynamic vision and body control granted by the reverse life state, combined with his Bajiquan skills honed over many years, were on full display at this moment!
"Stand close to the mountain!"
He moved slightly to the side like a fish, narrowly avoiding the sharp edge of Lu Jin's palm strike, and then his left shoulder slammed into Lu Jin's center like a siege tower!
Lu Jin reacted extremely quickly, crossing her arms to block.
Bang!
Another muffled thud!
Lu Jin was so shocked by the powerful impact that his blood and qi surged, the stone slabs beneath his feet shattered inch by inch, and he had to take three steps back to regain his balance!
"good!"
Wu Chengzhen, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but let out a low shout.
Zhuge Yan's response was concise, efficient, and ruthless!
Without any fancy techniques, he purely used the reverse-life enhancement to strengthen his physique and drive the extremely powerful and fierce Bajiquan moves, forcing Lu Jin, who had been painstakingly cultivating the third level of reverse-life for many years, to retreat in close combat!
"This...this is still a warlock?!"
Zhuge Yun's mouth dropped open; for a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The close-combat pressure that Zhuge Yan is displaying at this moment has completely eroded the elegance of the Wuhou School sorcerers.
It was clearly a ferocious humanoid beast draped in a moon-white Taoist robe!
"Bajiquan - Top Elbow!"
Zhuge Yan, having gained the upper hand, pressed on relentlessly, his footsteps slicing through the mud like a shadow, his right elbow striking Lu Jin's chest like a poisonous dragon emerging from its lair!
White Qi condensed at the tip of the elbow, compressing the air and emitting a piercing shriek!
Lu Jin's pupils contracted slightly as she sensed a deadly threat.
He let out a low roar, frantically channeling his rebellious life force into his arms, crossing them to protect his chest. At the same time, he stomped his right foot hard on the ground, causing it to crack like a spider web. Using the recoil, he sped backward, trying to create distance.
"Trying to leave?"
A fierce glint flashed in Zhuge Yan's eyes. His forward momentum did not diminish, but his left hand flashed out a strange hand seal.
The character 巽 (Xun) – means swift wind!
An invisible whirlwind suddenly wrapped around his legs!
In the next instant, Zhuge Yan's speed increased by 30%!
That elbow strike to the heart was like a leech, instantly piercing through the gaps in Lu Jin's hastily laid defense!
"Oh no!"
Alarm bells rang in Lu Jin's mind!
But the next second, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes!
He knew that he probably couldn't withstand Zhuge Yan's elbow strike to the heart.
Since you can't catch it, there's no need to force it!
The true fighting strategy of the Reverse Life Triple is to exchange injuries for injuries, using the powerful self-healing ability granted by Reverse Life to wear down the opponent!
He simply couldn't believe that Zhuge Yan, who had only been a disciple for a few days, could actually surpass his senior brother in the level of reverse cultivation!
Thinking of this, Lu Jin completely withdrew all defensive stances, clenched his fist at his waist, and aimed directly at Zhuge Yan's chest!
However, just as Lu Jin withdrew his defenses and made a desperate gamble, he slammed his fist, which was filled with true qi, into Zhuge Yan's chest.
Intending to exchange injury for injury, relying on the powerful regenerative ability of Reverse Regeneration to withstand the attack and severely injure Zhuge Yan in an instant!
Zhuge Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
He did not, as everyone expected, engage Lu Jin in a head-on clash with his powerful elbow strike.
Just before his elbow was about to touch his chest, his forward momentum seemed to defy the laws of physics and paused slightly. His right elbow, brimming with power, suddenly retracted and extended like a serpent.
In the blink of an eye, the arm that had been gathering terrifying power had transformed from an elbow into a palm!
Zhuge Yan's five fingers were pressed together like a knife, his palm slightly concave, and with a cunning yet effortless skill, he swept his hand swiftly between Lu Jin's eyebrows.
That is one of the vital organs of the human body, and also the key to maintaining the triple cycle of reversal of life—the upper elixir!
This change happened too fast, faster than anyone could react, and completely unexpected for Lu Jin!
All his attention was focused on how to withstand the elbow strike and counterattack, never expecting that Zhuge Yan would use such a subtle and deadly change at the last moment.
Snapped!
A crisp, yet not loud, sound rang out, enough to instantly silence the entire room.
Lu Jin felt an indescribable tingling, numbness, and dizziness rush from between his eyebrows to the top of his head!
It was as if the slap had shattered and shaken the person's entire "energy"!
The next second, the rebellious energy he had gathered on his fist dissipated instantly, like a punctured balloon!
The skin and hair, which were originally as white as jade and exuded a resilient white aura, quickly returned to their normal color as if the tide had receded!
His fierce, forward-charging figure seemed to have lost its bones and muscles, his feet unsteady, and he stumbled back several steps before barely managing to regain his footing.
The color drained from his face, leaving only horror and bewilderment in his eyes!
His proud, years-long cultivation of the Reverse Life Triple Realm... was actually shattered by a mere slap from the other party?!
The entire square was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, their minds blank.
"This...this..."
Zhuge Yun's mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg, and he pointed at the field, but couldn't utter a complete sound.
After the deathly silence came an uncontrollable uproar.
"What just happened? Senior Brother Lu's reversal of life... how did it dissipate on its own?"
"No, it wasn't deactivated by itself; Junior Brother Yan broke it!"
"It's been breached? How is that possible?!"
"I've never heard of anyone being able to break through our Reverse Life Triple Technique!"
"How on earth did Junior Brother Yan do that?!"
……
Wu Chengzhen's pupils contracted sharply, and her composure was completely replaced by shock.
He saw it most clearly: Zhuge Yan's slap was perfectly timed, angled, and forceed!
That was by no means brute force, but rather a superb method of breaking through the system after thoroughly understanding the triple operation mechanism of the reverse life, Lu Jin's intentions, and even the key points of the human body!
This is even more terrifying than defeating Lu Jin in a head-on confrontation!
At the same time, the anger on Si Chong's face froze completely, replaced by incredulous astonishment.
He originally intended to use Lu Jin to suppress Zhuge Yan's "arrogance" and let him see the power of his sect's rebellious spirit, but what did he end up seeing?
Their prized skill was broken by the opponent in a way that was almost "humiliating".
This feeling was a hundred times worse than Lu Jin being punched away!
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Zhuge Yan, as if he were truly getting to know this junior disciple for the first time.
Unlike Si Chong, Zuo Ruotong's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance, and a barely perceptible smile even appeared on her lips.
"This little guy really... always surprises us!"
