Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 633 - 188 Nan Batian: Capture, Capture Dragon 18 Palms!!_6
Chen Jiusi’s long spear lunged.
At that moment, the Fire Dragon Spear emitted a piercing sound as it struck directly at Nan Batian.
A blade and a spear clamped down on Nan Batian from both sides.
It almost forced him into an impossible situation where he could neither advance nor retreat.
Seeing the dire situation, Nan Batian performed an Iron Horse Bridge evasion, dodging Qimu Ge’s blade.
Chen Jie’s spear stabbed out.
Nan Batian stretched out his hand to grasp the tip of the spear, while Chen Jie’s Gang Qi circulated, and Nan Batian’s cold Ice Gang Qi enveloped it.
Instantly, Chen Jie’s spear tip was covered in a layer of frost.
At this time, Chen Jie tried to shake off Nan Batian using the flicking power of his long spear, Nan Batian’s expression ice-cold, said, "Chen Jiusi, I didn’t come after you, but you presented yourself. Well then, I’ll oblige you—die!"
Nan Batian, holding the spear shaft, hurriedly charged along it straight towards Chen Jie.
The spear shaft slid through his right palm.
Quickly, he was upon Chen Jie, raising his Ice Palm and slapped fiercely at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie, alarmed by the attack, raised his left hand and directly executed [Stone Breaking Hand Eighth Form—Dragon Capturing Hand!]
With a slap,
Chen Jie was struck back five steps while Nan Batian also retreated two steps.
Chen Jie steadied himself, feeling as though both hands were grasping a huge block of ice, a chill racing straight to his Heavenly Spirit—this was the chill invading his body.
Chen Jie immediately released his Inner Strength to counteract the chill.
Nan Batian was also shocked; he knew the power of the Stone Breaking Hand and how it could be comparable to the Mystic Ice Power. But just now, that palm strike had made him feel a terrifying force that shook him back.
This Dragon Capturing Hand indeed had some substance to it.
Nan Batian thought, his expression changing slightly.
Chen Jie, squinting his eyes, watched Nan Batian, and although he had been at a disadvantage from the move, gained a deeper understanding of Nan Batian.
That was that Nan Batian was not invincible; his Mystic Ice Power was indeed strong, and he touched on the edges of the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm, but Chen Jie still saw a chance to defeat him.
That would be with the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms—if he used the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, Chen Jie felt he could, at the very least, split the odds with Nan Batian.
With this in mind, he felt more confident.
Meanwhile, not far away on the rooftop, Zhao Ya slightly frowned and said, "That Chen Jiusi, what kind of Hand Technique did he just use? It looks somewhat like the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Da from not far away said, "Hmm, it does resemble the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms. Third Brother, haven’t you learned one of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms? Did you notice anything?"
Third Brother mainly practiced Cross Training, and after allying with the Prince Mansion, the Ruyang King rewarded him with one of the Eighteen Palms.
The Eighteen Palms were actually possessed by the Mulan people.
Although only thirteen palms were known, with the last five having been lost to time, they still knew more than those of the Beggar Sect.
As for why the Mulan people had the Eighteen Palms, it all went back to the battle years ago at Xiangyang.
In that battle, Guo Juxia left behind many things, and the Mulan people gained much. Although Guo Juxia originally let the Beggar Sect take the technique, the Mulan people pursued them, eventually scattering them, and finally, the Mulan people recovered the thirteen palms themselves.
Ah San, as a servant of the Commandery Princess, was exceptionally granted one palm move by the Ruyang King.
Ah San said, "It looks a bit like the starter move of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, but its power is much weaker; it didn’t even match up to the Mystic Ice Power."
Hearing this, Ah Er said, "Right, that palm’s energy flow was incorrect; it was just similar to the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms."
Zhao Ya nodded lightly upon hearing this and said, "I see!"
As they spoke, the battle below resumed.
Liu Laoguai charged forward, pitting his Fiery Fire Skill against Nan Batian’s Mystic Ice Power, while Qimu Ge, with his Saber Technique, sealed off Nan Batian’s paths of escape.
Qimu Ge’s strength was formidable, on par with Liu Laoguai; he was adept at the Swift Blade Skill, and his Saber Technique was astonishing. When executed, it was like a screen of light, hard to approach.
If he attacked, it would be incredibly fearsome, the embodiment of a true master of Saber Technique.
Nan Batian was desperately pressed by the pair, and Chen Jie, holding the Fire Dragon Spear, was performing the "Thirteen Breaking Tribulation Strokes." Even so, its power posed little threat to Nan Batian now.
But with such a spear lurking outside the battle, Nan Batian fought with great difficulty.
Thus, the three of them fought together against Nan Batian, and he soon found himself on the back foot, struggling against three masters of equal skill. Nan Batian’s perseverance to this point was already quite commendable.
As time drew on, Nan Batian increasingly fell behind.
Swoosh!
Qimu Ge’s curved blade barely grazed by Nan Batian’s face, nearly disfiguring him. The curved blade, unique to the Mulan Clan, produced a dense barrage of light like crescent moons when wielded.
Liu Laoguai, covered in red Gang Qi, bellowed with rage, "Nan Batian, come and fight!"
His hands radiated intense fiery-red flames of Gang Qi, pushing his Fiery Fire Skill to the limit.
Chen Jie, like a shadowy assassin, held his long spear, pinpointing Nan Batian’s weaknesses, coordinating with the other two in combat.
Nan Batian was in constant peril, on the verge of being taken down, when he suddenly roared, "I’ll take you all on!"
Whoosh...
The next instant, a cold wind whipped up from nowhere, and in a flash, Nan Batian’s Ice Gang Qi surged, doubling in strength. His combat power touched the brink of the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm in an instant.
Liu Laoguai, seeing this, struck out with a palm towards Nan Batian.
"Die!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Nan Batian bellowed, "Get lost!"
With a thud, he sent Liu Laoguai flying while Qimu Ge, approaching from behind with a slash, saw Nan Batian counter with a palm strike, a slap sending Qimu Ge reeling back.
In that instant of opportunity, Nan Batian leaped and ferociously struck Chen Jie with a palm.
Chen Jie, shocked by the display, remembered the talk about a Blast Technique within the Mystic Ice Power, allowing one to forcefully double their skill.
With this realization, Chen Jie knew he had to use his most powerful technique. Suddenly raising his arm, the air filled with the echoes of a dragon’s cry.
Nan Batian was stunned, while Chen Jie applied his full strength, summoning the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!
Roar roar roar...
Then, amidst the chorus of dragon cries, he viciously struck out at Nan Batian.
With a boom, Chen Jie’s Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms collided with Nan Batian’s Mystic Ice Power Blast Technique.
With a thunderous impact, Nan Batian was sent flying back, leaving everyone wide-eyed in shock.
"The, the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!"
