Chapter 335 Past Events in Jizhou
After the Blood Demon appeared, it raised its head and let out a deafening roar. Then, it moved its head and glanced at the energy vortex that was inches away. Instead of dodging, it simply blurred its arm and threw a punch.
A deafening roar instantly erupted, and extremely violent spatial fluctuations swept in all directions, causing the entire arena to shake violently. If it weren't for the protective light barrier around it, the arena would probably have collapsed long ago.
After the deafening collision, the rapidly spinning energy vortex exploded with a deafening roar, and streams of fused and mutated magical power scattered in all directions, dazzling and awe-inspiring like celestial maidens scattering flowers.
The two-zhang-tall blood demon staggered back more than thirty steps, crashing violently into the barrier behind it. It was then bounced off and slammed onto the ground.
The Blood Demon opened its mouth and let out an angry roar, its voice hoarse and piercing, completely unlike a human voice. The Blood Demon's limbs trembled as it struggled to get up, but at that moment, a yellowish-brown light swept across the ground nearby, revealing a figure, none other than Du Fan.
After Du Fan appeared, without saying a word, his figure blurred and he rushed forward. His huge, golden hand spread its five fingers apart and then closed them again, grabbing the thick, long, swaying tentacle on the Blood Demon's head.
A cold smile appeared on Du Fan's lips. His other arm suddenly moved, and a black dagger slashed through the void. With a swift movement, blood sprayed as the blade fell, severing the hideous tentacles growing on the blood demon's head in an instant. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he threw it far away.
"Aow..." The Blood Demon immediately let out an extremely painful howl, its blood energy surging all over its body, as if it were trembling.
Du Fan flicked his arm, and the black dagger vanished, replaced by the blue staff weapon. He swung his arm downwards again, and a large patch of blue staff shadows instantly materialized, whistling as they crashed down on the Blood Demon's body.
However, when the large number of staff shadows entered the blood demon's body, the same scene appeared again. After the mist on the blood demon's body churned, it returned to calm, seemingly unable to cause any harm to the demon.
Upon seeing this, Du Fan frowned, then his eyes flashed with decisiveness. He swayed and lunged at the Blood Demon, disappearing into the blood mist in the blink of an eye.
This scene was so sudden that everyone on Crescent Island who had been following the battle was quite startled.
Zi Yan paled and couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Chen Da and the white-haired old woman, though not losing their composure, also had their eyes twitching wildly, their eyes showing shock. They clearly found it difficult to understand Du Fan's suicidal behavior.
At this moment, only Liu Zhongtian could barely maintain his composure, though his expression was uncertain.
On the sixth arena, the two-zhang-tall Blood Demon lay there motionless.
More than ten breaths have passed since Du Fan entered his body. Many cultivators who were watching the battle were now filled with intense curiosity. What were these two doing inside? Had they both perished?
Even the hall master who was presiding over the competition outside the arena changed his expression upon seeing this, unsure of how to handle the matter.
Fortunately, it was two men; if it had been a man and a woman, it would have been somewhat questionable...
About half a cup of tea's time later, just as the four guardians of Crescent Island were sitting uneasily and the Foundation Establishment Hall Master, who was presiding over the No. 6 Arena Competition, was taking out a forbidden magic tool with one hand in preparation for doing something, suddenly Sun Pangzi's terrified voice came from inside the Blood Demon's body.
"Fellow Daoist, spare my life! I surrender!"
At that moment, the Blood Demon's body twisted and rolled violently, its blood-red light shining brightly to the extreme. Suddenly, the Blood Demon's entire body exploded with a "boom".
As the blood mist scattered, a flash of green light appeared, and Du Fan shot out, landing steadily a few feet away. He turned around and looked over with a cold expression.
After the blood mist completely dissipated, Fatty Sun lay on the ground, trying to struggle to get up, but he couldn't.
He looked extremely disheveled, covered in blood, one arm missing, his face raw and bleeding, his eyes dull and lifeless, his round hat gone, replaced by disheveled hair, and he looked utterly miserable.
Unable to get up, Fatty Sun could only raise his head with difficulty. When he looked at Du Fan, his eyes revealed bitterness and complexity. After a long while, he said hoarsely, "Thank you for your mercy, fellow Daoist."
"Sixth Arena, Du Fan wins!" The Foundation Establishment Hall Master, who was not far away, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After witnessing this scene, he spoke without hesitation and loudly announced the result of the competition.
Upon seeing this scene, the four guardians of Crescent Island were overjoyed. Even the usually composed Liu Zhongtian was now breathing rapidly, trembling all over, and his eyes were flashing with excitement.
After this battle, Du Fan will be able to enter the top ten of the competition!
In the overall ranking of the Hainan Rendez-Vous, Crescent Island has crushed all medium-sized islands and even surpassed several large islands. This has never happened before in the history of the Hainan Rendez-Vous.
"That brat, does he really enjoy sneaking into other people's spells?" After a long while, Zi Yan finally regained her composure and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
She clearly remembered that when Du Fan was fighting Xu Huaiming, who was ranked seventh in the Crescent Island competition, he entered Xu Huaiming's sandstorm and won by doing so.
"Du Fan's physical strength is probably even greater than I expected. For someone his age and cultivation level, it's truly remarkable. Fairy Ziyan, do you know what kind of physical techniques he has practiced?" Chen Da asked with a change of expression.
"Protector Chen seems to have asked the wrong person. I don't know more about this boy than you do," Zi Yan said calmly, glancing at Chen Da.
"If I'm not mistaken, this boy is cultivating a powerful Buddhist or Taoist physical technique, the Vajra Indestructible Body!" Liu Zhongtian's eyes flashed, and his tone became serious.
"Indestructible Vajra Body? What kind of technique is that? I've never heard of it before." The white-haired old woman frowned.
"Now that Brother Liu has mentioned it, I do remember. You all remember, right? Back then, Brother Liu, along with several seniors from Blazing Flame Island, secretly went to Ji Province on the Nine Provinces Continent once." Xu Da's expression shifted, and he suddenly spoke.
"Of course I remember. It's only been a few years. I heard that you were badly beaten by those old monsters in the Dark Forest back then." Zi Yan smiled suddenly as her eyes flickered.
"Ahem, that's not the point."
In the eastern region of Jizhou, there is a Buddhist and Taoist sect called Hanshan Sect. Almost everyone in this sect is a body cultivator, and they also practice various Buddhist and Taoist body techniques. Their combat power is truly terrifying, and it is difficult for cultivators of the same level to shake them.
After our presence was exposed, we fought a great battle with the cultivators of Hanshan Sect. In the end, Senior Jiang from Lieyan Island intervened, capturing one of their elders alive and using the Soul Searching Technique on him.
That elder of the Cold Mountain Sect possessed a Buddhist and Taoist physical technique called the Vajra Indestructible Body. In fact, his aura was somewhat similar to that of Du Fan.
This physical technique is incredibly powerful. The Cold Mountain Sect elder had only mastered it to a minor level. Combined with several other techniques, he was able to fight a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator while only at the early Golden Core stage.
According to Senior Jiang, this Vajra Indestructible Body needs to be combined with another physical technique to maximize its power. What was that other physical technique called again...? I didn't pay attention at the time, and I can't remember it afterwards." Chen Da first coughed, then his eyes narrowed, and he slowly spoke.
"It's the Undying Body. That Cold Mountain Sect elder was cultivating this kind of body technique back then. However, this kind of body technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Before he could even reach the minor success, he unfortunately encountered us. It seems that it is difficult for the same person to possess these two powerful body techniques," Liu Zhongtian interjected.
"Protector Liu, from what you're saying, even for a Golden Core cultivator, mastering this technique to the minor level would be extremely difficult. Du Fan is so young, and his cultivation is only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage. Is that... possible?" The white-haired old woman was skeptical.
"That's hard to say. When Du Fan was in Jizhou, he served as the head of the Seven Stars Branch Alliance. Based on my deduction, Hanshan Sect and that Seven Stars Branch Alliance are not far apart and should belong to the same region."
In that case, the intersection of interests between the two major forces must be intricately intertwined, which explains why Du Fan obtained this secret technique. It wouldn't be impossible for him to further cultivate it.
The stringent conditions and other external factors required to cultivate this technique should not pose a significant problem for a leader of the Seven Star Merchant Alliance.
As for the difficulty of the technique itself, I wonder if you have noticed that all of the minor five elements techniques this child has cultivated have reached the third level of mastery. Moreover, he has also used special methods to cultivate several other types of techniques with different attributes. It is evident that this child has a great talent for magic.
Based on the above deductions, coupled with the aura of cultivation techniques emanating from this young man and his performance in several battles, Liu suspected that Du Fan had already cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body to a minor level of mastery.
"However, I'm not so sure about that Undying and Indestructible Body technique. After all, even if Du Fan has a high talent for cultivation techniques, it's hard to imagine a Qi Refining stage cultivator possessing both of these complementary and powerful Buddhist and Taoist body techniques simultaneously," Liu Zhongtian said slowly.
"Brother Liu, you suddenly brought this up. Could it be that you have some ideas about these two Buddhist and Taoist physical techniques?" Chen Da's eyes lit up.
"What thoughts could I possibly have? You and I were there when we searched the soul of that Cold Mountain Sect elder. Brother Chen must know all too well how difficult this technique is to master. I dare not speak for others, but I, Liu, am certain that I could never master it."
Otherwise, I, Liu, might really have to bully the weak and shamelessly demand it." Liu Zhongtian gave a wry smile and shook his head.
