Chapter 549: Chapter 355: 800 Points! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]_2
However, if Yan Chuan can combine the "Positive Yin Swordsmanship" with the "Anti Yin Yang Saber Technique," and wield the "Positive and Negative Yin Swordsmanship," achieving a total of 4,096 variations, he could unravel the complexities of martial arts across the world, reaching the pinnacle of weapon techniques and unleashing unparalleled power.
This is far beyond what Hua Lei’s "Endless Palm Technique" can compare to.
At this moment, Yan Chuan, treading the "Wave Riding Micro Steps," combines it with the "Positive and Negative Yin Swordsmanship" to analyze Hua Lei’s "Endless Palm Technique." For a moment, he might perceive the changes in that palm technique, but ultimately, his strength falls short of Hua Lei’s. Even if he can perceive it or articulate it, he still cannot break it.
Yan Chuan uses his sword, performing the ’Breaking Palm Formation’ and ’Qi Breaking Style’ from the "Dugu Nine Swords," aiming to break through this "Endless Palm Technique." But initially lacking understanding, trying to crack it now is beyond the capabilities of the "Dugu Nine Swords," just as Linghu Chong faced the "Evil Exorcism Sword Skill" and "Kuihua Manual" — too fast, unseen, unbreakable, how to solve it?
Simply—
Zheng!
Yan Chuan raises his left palm, places the treasure sword on it, the tip pointing outward, and flicks the hilt with his right middle finger, producing a light "zheng" sound. The sword shoots out, faster than a strong crossbow, directly at Hua Lei’s face.
Bang!
Hua Lei rubs her hands together, and the sword shot by Yan Chuan using "Finger Snapping Divine Ability" immediately changes direction, unable to cause effective harm. But Yan Chuan never intended for the "Finger Snapping Divine Ability" to succeed.
His real kill move is actually the "One Yang Finger."
At this moment, Yan Chuan’s upper body is already enveloped by Hua Lei’s endless palm power. After abandoning the sword, he immediately moves his food a straight finger, aiming at the ’Wan Bone,’ ’Yanggu,’ and ’Yanglao’ points on Hua Lei’s wrist.
"One Yang Finger!"
This is the ultimate acupoint technique!
Yan Chuan’s way of pointing at three acupoints in this move is precisely the essence of the "One Yang Finger" skill.
"Good skill!"
Hua Lei, seeing it, opens her mouth for the first time, praising heartily.
She is also impressed by this ’single finger pointing at three acupoints’ technique.
But Hua Lei does not panic.
By now, they have exchanged over fifty moves, and her "Endless Palm Technique" is in its nascent form, with no fear at all. She just flips her wrist slightly back and, with the "Yao Xuan Nine Heavens," evades Yan Chuan’s surprise attack, while counterattacking, her double palms targeting several vital points of Yan Chuan.
"Troublesome!"
Yan Chuan knows things are not going well; he pushes the "One Yang Finger" to the extreme.
Hua Lei only sees her opponent raising his index finger, pointing towards her ’Qupen Acupoint,’ and that finger unleashes a stream of finger force from seven feet away. As her palm power is about to be released, she sees his finger force split into eight, each pointing at eight acupoints around her body.
If she releases her palm power, with her strength spent, those eight streams of finger force would strike, leaving her with no room to evade.
Startled, Hua Lei thinks, "This person’s acupoint skills are extremely advanced!"
Hua Lei slightly raises her right palm, slicing towards Yan Chuan, while her left palm darts out from beneath the right, already ahead. While dispelling Yan Chuan’s One Yang Finger force, she doesn’t lose her rhythm.
It’s still the "Endless Palm Technique!"
Stepping on the "Wave Riding Micro Steps," Yan Chuan shifts his position while continuously transforming his "One Yang Finger."
Hua Lei’s palm movements are as swift as the wind, changing positions seven times in succession.
Yan Chuan, with each use of the "One Yang Finger," fake-presses the acupoints, controlling the situation.
The two constantly change moves, both closely watching the other’s techniques, trying to spot the weaknesses and flaws.
Yan Chuan’s precision in recognizing acupoints leaves Hua Lei astounded.
As Hua Lei’s palm power grows stronger, Yan Chuan fights with increased caution.
"Yin-Yang Grinding!"
At this point, Yan Chuan strikes with both palms, clashing fiercely with Hua Lei. His palm power carries an immense sticking force, rendering Hua Lei unable to move away. She is forced to enhance her palm power, competing with his inner strength.
"Hmph!"
Upon palm contact, Yan Chuan grunts; he’s already significantly injured.
Hua Lei’s palm power is too powerful, ultimately surpassing Yan Chuan slightly.
He can only rely on variations with his absolute skills to win. His left palm bears Yin Power, the right with Yang Force. After striking, in a moment of battling, the Yin Yang Power gradually reverses, the left switching to Yang Force, and the right turning to Yin Power.
To outsiders, it seems merely that Hua Lei and Yan Chuan have their palms against each other, without apparent danger. Little do they know, Hua Lei’s palm power feels like a mountain-shattering force, while Yan Chuan’s palm power acts like a stone mill, slowly rotating, grinding away Hua Lei’s inner strength little by little.
"Good skill!"
Feeling it, Hua Lei decisively doubles her palm power, with a booming sound, sending Yan Chuan flying, while she retreats from further contesting palm power.
Yin-Yang Grinding!
Grinding away inner strength!
Although in Heavenly Ladder City, unharmed in true form, this thousand-person battle is not yet halfway through; Hua Lei cannot afford too much decline in condition.
She redoubles her palm power, sending Yan Chuan flying, and continues to pressure him with an endless series of palm strikes.
"Puh!"
Yan Chuan vomits blood.
But he reacts quickly, spotting Hua Lei’s attack, swiftly slashes his left palm and suddenly changes it into a pointing finger. With a "pfft" sound, he uses the One Yang Finger Force, rapidly pointing at Hua Lei. If this stroke lands, Hua Lei would either die or be severely injured.
Bang bang!
Unexpectedly, Hua Lei strikes with both palms, releasing a burst of palm power, a sudden gust arises. When the two forces collide in the air, Yan Chuan retreats two steps, while Hua Lei merely sways slightly. A flash of red over Yan Chuan’s face indicates the surge of blood and Qi, while a faint green hue shows over Hua Lei’s face, both fleeting.
Clearly—
Yan Chuan’s One Yang Finger Force is inferior to Hua Lei’s Endless Palm Force!
Even with the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" protecting him, even as Yan Chuan’s "One Yang Finger" reaches the middle stage of the Sixth Realm, he is still no match for Hua Lei.
In the field, the two are in fierce combat.
Hua Lei, though strong, is ultimately not innate.
Yan Chuan not as strong, yet having multiple Sixth Realm Absolute Skills and divine skill protection, with his own postnatal eleventh-layer cultivation, is not weak.
Hua Lei seeks victory.
Yan Chuan faces defeat.
No decision can be made in a short time.
Knowing himself inferior to Hua Lei, even escape is hard, Yan Chuan simply releases his restraint, fighting and maneuvering freely.
With a flick of his long sleeve, he thrusts a finger at Hua Lei. Hua Lei blocks it with a palm, and Yan Chuan immediately sends a second finger towards her, aiming directly at the ’Seven Protrusions’ below her throat, a lethal target.
But Hua Lei twists her body, avoiding the vital point while her two palms slam down forcefully. Originally the Endless Palm Technique, now unleashed, resembles thunder.
At that moment, Yan Chuan is startled: "The Endless Palm Technique grows stronger with each use! We’ve crossed over eighty exchanges, and its power now is more than double what it was earlier!"
Rumble!
Hua Lei’s palms thunderously press towards Yan Chuan.
Yan Chuan shifts away, countering with another finger.
The two exchange attacks, Hua Lei using the "Endless Palm Technique," Yan Chuan using the "One Yang Finger Force."
From a few feet apart, they engage back and forth, each countering the other’s techniques.
Some unknowing bystander, seeing the distant battle seeming intense, cannot help but stealthily approach intending to ambush and slay them both.
Unexpectedly, as they draw near, a silent, invisible force strikes, and the person, momentarily stunned, is struck with intense pain throughout, nearly fainting.
"Not good!"
Immediately retreating, they’re still unable to stop themselves from spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, stumbling away to save their life.
This one not doing well.
Yan Chuan similarly not well.
Endless Palm Technique!
Endless and relentless!
This palm technique triumphs in variation, even when seen through; if one can’t break it at the start, as the technique unfolds, the moves become more powerful and harder to interrupt.
The "Endless Palm Technique" initially thrives on complex, mysterious variations, but later, it conquers opponents with a magnificent momentum and real, unyielding palm power!
Yan Chuan couldn’t see through it initially, even now seeing more but already too late.
"I cannot break it!"
"I cannot escape!"
"My life is over!"
Yan Chuan struggles to hold on, crying out desperately, and meets his fate!
Endless palm power!
Unstoppable!
Failing to crack it within the initial dozens of moves already sealed his doom; beyond that, just holding on, sharing more insights, witnessing a bit further, that’s all there is.
But fortunately, through this battle—
[Your ’One Yang Finger’ has improved, skill level +1]
[Your ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ has improved, skill level +2]
...
[One Yang Finger: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (60)]
[Wave Riding Micro Steps: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (90)]
...
To this point—
"One Yang Finger": Late Stage of the Sixth Realm!
"Wave Riding Micro Steps": Peak of the Sixth Realm!
