Palm Breakthrough (Seeking Monthly Pass)_i
Translator: 549690339
Xu Yan, while formidable in his own right, wielding the ruthless Descending Dragon Palm, was nonetheless outmatched in combat experience by the Blood Demon.
As he unleashed his Descending Dragon Palm, at the moment when his guard was momentarily lowered above him, Xu Yan felt a prick in his heart and identified the problem.
However, this brief window of vulnerability meant life or death, victory or defeat, for the battle-scarred Blood Demon.
Hovering mid-air, his long knife radiated a chilling gleam as it cut through the empty space above.
In an instant, Xu Yan felt goosebumps and a powerful sense of danger descending upon him. It was too late for him to defend against it with his palm.
A picture of The Eight Diagrams instinctively emerged in his mind during this crisis. With a sudden insight, he shifted his steps and vanished on the spot, only to reappear a few yards away.
Boom!
A trench appeared on the ground where the Blood Demon’s knife had fiercely struck.
A wave of dismay washed over him!
At such a critical moment, his opponent had managed to dodge, but what kind of movement technique was that?
At this moment, Xu Yan was still shaken, his heart pounding hard, his vitality boiling, and a giant dragon swirling around him, its power growing stronger and stronger.
He had had a brush with death just then!
If it hadn’t been for the sudden enlightenment brought about by The Eight Diagrams emerging in his mind during the crisis, he wouldn’t have been able to come up with the new movement technique and dodge the attack.
He was both shocked and incensed at this moment.
As his body moved, he vanished, appearing instantly beside the Blood Demon, and blasted out his Descending Dragon Palm.
Teleportation!
Boom!
The Blood Demon’s eyes were icy, his long knife flickered, and his swordplay unfolded. The chilling blade aura intertwined and steadily advanced, using its formidable strength to continuously shatter the power of the Descending Dragon Palm.
The pressure forced Xu Yan to switch positions frequently to dodge.
A few strands of blood-sucking ghosts began to creep out from the Blood Demon’s body with each strike, covering the surrounding area, seemingly forming a massive net.
Xu Yan’s gaze was solemn; his opponent was slightly more powerful than him.
Especially that ruthless sword technique and the chilly, eerie aura were incredibly odd.
If it weren’t for his immense and flaming vitality, which allowed him to ignore the chilling aura’s invasion, he might have already been paralyzed, drastically reducing his combat power.
Xu Yan frowned. As the battle intensified, his mind became clearer, and he cast aside all distractions, immersing himself completely in the combat.
The pattern of The Eight Diagrams emerged in his mind, and with each step, he shifted positions.
The technique of teleportation gradually grew more proficient with the progression of the battle.
Boom!
The overbearing power of the Descending Dragon Palm had been once again shattered by his opponent’s attack.
The blade light dashed aggressively towards Xu Yan, who teleported once again, dodging it.
It was at this moment, the mantra of Descending Dragon Palm emerged in his mind.
His vitality boiled even more, and he seemed to be in a state of fervor. Suddenly, he roared out, pushed both his palms, and a gigantic Descending Dragon Palm power rushed out, splitting halfway into eighteen fierce dragons, instantly enveloping the Blood Demon.
Descending Dragon Palm Mastery!
With each passing moment in the battle, the Blood Demon became more shocked. The opponent was supposed to be inferior to him in both realm and strength.
However, the formidable and awe-inspiring palm power was astonishing. Even the Blood Demon felt it somewhat strenuous to shatter it.
Moreover, each transformation of the Dragon Palm’s power formed a joint attack on him.
“This youngster is somewhat troublesome. He’s not even afraid of my Blood Demon’s ghastly aura; he even seems to be able to counter it!”
That blaze-like vitality kept dissipating his chilling aura.
The more he felt this way, the more he craved it. If he could devour the opponent, his strength would further increase.
Never before had he seen a martial artist with such powerful vitality.
Such pure blood essence contained a vast amount of spiritual essence.
No one in the Inner Domain had such pure blood essence.
Even a Grandmaster didn’t have it!
As the eighteen giant dragons swooped in for a joint attack, the Blood Demon’s blade gleam surged spectacularly, scattering the Descending Dragon Palms’ power in an instant, and charged towards Xu Yan with a speed that had reached its peak.
With each strike of his blade, Xu Yan was once again pushed to a disadvantage.
The teleportation technique was used more and more frequently, dodging continuously. However, he was not the least bit flustered, his gaze fixed firmly on the Blood Demon.
His jade bones glowed luminously, and his exuberant vitality seemed limitless.
“… Its demeanor ruins the world, its rage frightens the heaven and earth.”
All of a sudden, the formula of the Descending Dragon Palm emerged in his mind, and he had a sudden insight in the midst of the battle.
“While my dragon palm power is impressive and seemingly unrivaled, it lacks the true ‘demeanor’ that can ruin the world.
“It is said that ‘its demeanor ruins the world, its rage frightens the heaven and earth. How can it frighten the heaven and earth without rage?’ My Descending Dragon Palm is lacking the ‘demeanor’ and the ‘rage’. It is only with rage that it can frighten the heaven and earth?”
Xu Yan’s mind was clear. The insight surfaced in his mind. In an instant, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Descending Dragon Palm, as if he had broken through a mental bottleneck.
Suddenly, he halted and launched a formidable palm strike.
This strike was significantly different from the previous ones.
The moment he dispelled his palm power, it seemed to be accompanied by a howling sound, and a chilling sense of majesty resonated out.
This dragon-shaped palm force seemed more solid and more rhythmic.
The speed also increased significantly in an instant.
Roar!
The giant dragon opened its mouth, seemingly roaring as it fiercely charged towards the Blood Demon.
“Cut!”
The Blood Demon felt a chill in his heart and slashed out with his knife. However, this strike didn’t shatter the force of the palm. Yet, there was a sweeping force, like a giant mountain slamming towards him, its momentum unabated, as the dragon tail viciously swept towards him..
