Chapter 15 Killing Hai Bodong
Chapter 15 Killing Hai Bodong
Do you know me?
Hai Bodong was surprised that the young man in front of him recognized him.
His eyes narrowed, and the shop door closed. A chill emanated from him, gradually spreading throughout the entire Gu Tu shop and beginning to erode Mu Zhan's body.
"Trying to trap me?"
Mu Zhan raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and flames spread from his feet, blocking out the cold air.
"Good lad, you've got some skills."
Hai Bodong did not rush to defeat Mu Zhan, but chose to test him. He condensed more than a dozen ice spikes around himself, and with a wave of his hand, the ice spikes pierced towards Mu Zhan.
Mu Zhan neither dodged nor evaded, his hands flaming with flames as he unleashed a punch forward. The flames on his fist were sent flying, forming a fiery fist that shattered all the ice spikes.
As the ice spikes shattered, Mu Zhan took a step forward, the powerful force cracking the ground. In an instant, he arrived in front of Hai Bodong, his fighting spirit carrying a punch aimed at Hai Bodong's face.
Hai Bodong neither dodged nor evaded, his left hand behind his back and his right hand covered with fighting spirit, relying solely on his strength to block Mu Zhan's powerful punch.
His icy battle qi directly and frantically eroded Mu Zhan's arm, extinguishing Mu Zhan's flames in the blink of an eye and freezing him into a block of ice.
Feeling the slight numbness in his arm, Hai Bodong was also somewhat alarmed. This kid was clearly only a Battle Master, yet his physique and brute strength were already comparable to some weaker fourth-tier magical beasts.
He no longer held back, gathering his fighting spirit in his left hand behind his back, unleashing his fighting spirit power, and slamming a palm towards Mu Zhan.
Seeing Hai Bodong's palm strike coming with fierce speed, Mu Zhan dared not be careless. He immediately withdrew his fist, raised both hands in front of him to block, and his black and white battle qi gauze robe appeared to protect him and take the blow head-on.
Although Hai Bodong was sealed, he was still two realms higher than Mu Zhan. His palm strike shattered the Qi-infused gauze and struck Mu Zhan's arm.
Mu Zhan was also slapped out of the ancient map shop by this palm strike, smashing the door and taking a few steps back before regaining his balance.
"No matter if you are a young master from a powerful family or a successor of the Yunlan Sect, you will not be able to leave this desert today."
Hai Bodong walked out of the Gutu store with his hands behind his back and said.
Mu Zhan steadied himself, looked at his frozen arm, and with a slight exertion, shattered the ice, leaving his arm completely intact.
Mu Zhan also felt that he had to go all out, otherwise he wouldn't be able to defeat the old man. He activated his battle form, and flames surged from his body, along with wisps of purple electric arcs.
This is the purple lightning he obtained after introducing the purple lightning of the fifth-tier purple lightning bird into his body. Like the beast fire, this purple lightning is integrated into his body. As long as he activates his battle body, he can mobilize its energy to enhance himself.
The Tiger Talisman's divine power perfectly balanced these two energies, preventing Mu Zhan from rejecting them when he absorbed them into his body.
Mu Zhan's strength also increased from an eight-star Dou Shi to a nine-star... and finally broke through to a three-star Great Dou Shi.
"A secret technique? It's certainly not simple."
Hai Bodong frowned as he looked at Mu Zhan's suddenly increased strength. He flicked his right hand, and his icy battle qi condensed into a long spear, ready for battle.
"Again!"
Mu Zhan, with lightning on his left and fire on his right, looked at Hai Bodong with a fierce fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
Surrounded by purple lightning, his speed increased dramatically, leaving behind streaks of purple lightning. In an instant, he arrived behind Hai Bodong and threw a punch at Hai Bodong's back.
"What! How could it be so fast all of a sudden!"
"Frozen Mirror!"
Hai Bodong was also taken aback by the speed that Mu Zhan had unleashed. His muscle memory, honed over years of fighting, instantly activated the defensive fighting technique, Ice Condensation Mirror, which condensed an ice mirror behind him to defend.
Ke Mu Zhan's battle body has been fully enhanced, and his physique, speed, and strength have now reached the level of a fourth-tier magical beast.
With a single punch, Hai Bodong's still-unfinished ice mirror shattered, and the old man took a hard punch to the back.
"puff!"
Hai Bodong was punched, his mouth tasted metallic, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood, rolling on the ground several times before stopping.
Mu Zhan was the fiercest fighter, giving Hai Bodong no time to react, and continued to attack, punch after punch.
The left fist inflicts lightning paralysis, while the right fist inflicts flame burning, fully demonstrating the high damage of both the left and right fists.
A combination of techniques forced Hai Bodong into a retreat.
Mu Zhan's close-quarters combat advantage was too great, and Hai Bodong was constantly on the defensive and getting beaten up.
Hai Bodong also realized this, and he kept seizing opportunities until he finally distanced himself from Mu Zhan. Without any hesitation, he unleashed the strongest fighting technique he could currently use.
"Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!"
Intermediate Xuan-rank combat skill: Xuanbing Whirlwind Kill.
Blue, icy battle qi surged wildly from his body, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. He actually managed to change a small part of the weather around him, just like a Dou Huang powerhouse.
The icy battle aura whipped up a rapidly spinning storm, which quickly grew larger, and under Hai Bodong's control, the large-scale storm swept Mu Zhan into it.
Mu Zhan was swept into the storm, where the icy battle qi turned into solid ice and relentlessly attacked his body, but it could not harm him. The horse talisman allowed Mu Zhan to focus all his energy on offense without needing to defend.
Seeing Hai Bodong's strongest killing move, he advanced instead of retreating, directly unfolding his battle qi wings to stabilize his body, continuously urging his battle qi, and using battle techniques to bombard the wind wall.
"Since you've chosen to die, you can't blame me."
Seeing that Mu Zhan was still putting up a futile resistance, Hai Bodong's eyes flashed with icy blue battle aura, further intensifying the storm.
"Disperse!"
With Mu Zhan's soul perception, he quickly found the storm's weak point.
Mu Zhan unleashed his Blood Flame and Purple Lightning to their fullest potential, unleashing two powerful fist strikes at the icy wind barrier. With relentless attacks, he managed to blast a gap into the seemingly indestructible icy wind barrier.
"This kid is a monster."
When Hai Bodong saw that Mu Zhan had actually shattered his Xuanbing Whirlwind Kill, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"It's all because of this damn seal!"
Even after using all his trump cards, he still couldn't defeat Mu Zhan, and a sense of powerlessness welled up within him. If it weren't for Medusa's serpent seal, how could he have ended up in such a sorry state?
After Mu Zhan escaped, he activated his Purple Cloud Wings and rushed towards Hai Bodong, preparing to continue the battle with him.
"Wait! Wait!"
"I surrender!"
Having been injured by Mu Zhan earlier, and having just exhausted most of his fighting spirit with that move, Hai Bodong knew he was no match for Mu Zhan, so he decided to concede defeat.
Mu Zhan's fist did not stop for a second because of Hai Bodong's pleas for mercy. The fist was covered in flames and did not hold back at all, slamming into Hai Bodong's body.
Hai Bodong was sent flying like a cannonball by Mu Zhan's punch, crashing into the wall of the ancient book shop.
"Young...young friend, if you spare my life, I will gladly offer you half of the map and my treasured possessions."
Hai Bodong's body was embedded in the wall, and he begged for mercy with his last breath.
Without hesitation, Mu Zhan punched Hai Bodong in the head, shattering his skull.
"Foolish! Even if I beat you to death, you're still mine!"
