Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 927 Wooden Fish Utensils
"Tools, wooden fish, three fixed."

Qian Jinxun's voice carried a peculiar rhythm, as if she were reciting some ancient covenant.

"First, establish the body and soul; second, uphold the covenant; third, ensure abundant harvests!"

He confidently raised three fingers, the fingertips seemingly still retaining the invisible lingering sound of striking the wooden fish.

"The soul-level 'connection' established between you and me at this moment is called 'soul fixation'!"

Qianjin pointed to Fang Yu's chest, as if she could see the invisible mark there.

"Within three moves, I will take your life! This is the 'Establishment of the Chong Pact'!"

His eyes suddenly turned sharp as knives, filled with murderous intent!
"Complete the 'Cultural Covenant,' and I will seize a cultivation technique from you that interests me! This is the 'Abundant Steal'!"

A glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Now, do you... understand?"

Qian Jinxun's lips curled into a cold, all-encompassing smile, as if Fang Yu's fate was already sealed.

Fang Yu frowned.

What nonsense are you spouting?

You want to defeat me in three moves?

Are you out of your mind?!

Fang Yu subconsciously looked up again to check his status bar.

[Lifespan: 386779/386779.]

Looking at the opponent's arrogant declaration of 380,000 HP, Fang Yu almost lost his confidence.

Is this health bar fake?
"What if you fail to do so?"

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, keenly grasping the other possible aspect of the contract, and asked in return.

As Fang Yu watched Qian Jinxun explain, he vaguely guessed that there might be some condition for him to do so with the wooden fish.

In this case……

tread!!

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Yu seized the possible gap in the rules, and a large cloud of smoke suddenly spewed up from beneath his feet!

He shot up like a cannonball, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and charged straight at Qian Jinxun!

He wanted to force the other party into a situation where they couldn't fully explain themselves in time!
The demonic sword was drawn instantly!

The cold blade of the sword drew a chilling, blood-red glint in the dimly lit cage!
Wherever the sword pointed, it seemed to slice through the air!
Stimulated by the demonic bloodline, Fang Yu instantly boiled, raising all his senses to their peak and entering his most ferocious battle state!
This sword strike was faster than lightning!
Om-!
The crimson sword light arrived in an instant!
However, Qian Jinxun merely turned her body slightly to the side with an expressionless face!
scoff!

The sword's edge barely grazed his clothes, slicing off several strands of fabric!

At the same time, Qian Jinxun's palm, which seemed to be burning with invisible flames, silently pressed against Fang Yu's unguarded chest!

The speed was so fast that Fang Yu's vision was blurred!
Fang Yu's pupils constricted sharply! A deadly chill instantly enveloped his entire body!

He could even feel the fluid beneath his chest skin churning wildly, trying to coalesce into a defense!
tread!
Just before the palm containing terrifying power was about to land, Qian Jinxun suddenly and forcefully withdrew his palm!
The immense force backlash caused the smoke-filled ground beneath his feet to tremble slightly!
He was pulled backward as if by invisible threads, instantly retreating several feet and widening the distance once again!
what's the situation? !

Fang Yu forcibly steadied his body, which had become somewhat unbalanced due to the interruption of his momentum, his heart filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Why did the opponent stop when they could have hit you?
That murderous intent in that instant was absolutely real!
"Humph!"

Qian Jin Xun snorted coldly and added quickly, as if she were in a hurry to complete some ritual.

"If I cannot take your life in three moves, then 'Chongyue' has failed! So, when I am defeated and die in this battle, you... will gain all the cultivation experience of one of my martial arts techniques!"

The so-called "cultivation experience" is actually the complete cultivation process and insights of a skill from beginner to expert.

Directly acquiring this experience is equivalent to skipping over a long period of time and instantly possessing the results of the other party's years of immersion in this technique!

In a sense, these conditions are actually equivalent!

As Fang Yu grasped the rules in a flash, his boiling demonic bloodline erupted once again with a strong fighting impulse!
Roar!
Fang Yu let out a low, almost beastly roar, and his body pounced on him again like a ghost!

Swish!Swish!Swish!
This time, he struck three times with his sword!
Each sword strike is faster than the last!
The sword light, like a blood-red ribbon, wove together to form a web of death!
When the third sword was unleashed, the blade finally grazed Qian Jinxun's sleeve, which had been slightly delayed due to dodging the first two swords!

laugh!
A small piece of cloth with scorched marks was sliced ​​away by the sharp sword energy!
Qian Jinxun's face instantly turned so dark it could drip water!
Shame! Such a shame!
His eyes flashed with a fierce light. He stopped dodging and struck back with his palm, his five fingers slightly bent like claws. With a terrifying shriek that tore through the air, he aimed straight for Fang Yu's crown!

The speed, power, and angle of this palm strike were several times more terrifying than the previous probing strike!

So fast!

Alarm bells were ringing in Fang Yu's mind!

He only saw the other person's shoulder twitch slightly before the giant hand, burning with invisible heat, blocked his entire vision, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped him!

Oops!

Fang Yu roared inwardly!

This palm strike was too fast and too powerful; he didn't even have time to activate the bone fluid in his forehead for defense!
brush!
Just as the palm containing terrifying power enough to split stone tablets was less than three inches from Fang Yu's head, Qian Jinxun forcibly withdrew his hand once again!
As if electrocuted, he was propelled backward at an even faster speed than when he was attacking!

Fang Yu: ...? ? ?
Fang Yu was genuinely bewildered.

What is this old guy doing?
Is this some kind of game? Two deadly attacks, both held back at the last moment? That feels worse than being stabbed!
"If it weren't for my coveting your peculiar martial arts technique..."

Qian Jinxun's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and her voice suppressed a volcanic rage.

"You've already died twice in that fight!!"

Fang Yu: ? ? ?
Fang Yu's expression instantly became extremely subtle, even carrying a hint of pity for someone who looked down on a fool.

Brother, please!
just kill me!
Just slap me to death!
My HP is over 300,000, is it made of paper?
You think you can kill me with one slap?

Do you think I'm one of those third-rate martial artists who break at the slightest touch?
Even if my head explodes, I might not die!
You think you can decide the fate of the world with a single palm strike? Keep dreaming!

There's a limit to arrogance!

However, Fang Yu finally understood.

Before Qian Jinxun completes the full explanation of the rules of that damned "Wooden Fish Three Rules" contract, this guy really can't bring himself to kill himself!
Or rather, he dared not kill, fearing that he would violate the harsh conditions of the tool and cause all his previous efforts to be in vain!
That would be... very interesting!

Fang Yu's lips slowly curled into a mocking smile, and his body fluids began to secrete more rapidly, preparing to give this "word-reserved" Hall Master Qian a good dose of intensity!
Unexpectedly, just as Fang Yu's momentum was rising and he was preparing to launch a fierce offensive,

Qian Jinxun rattled off the final, crucial information in rapid succession: "The Wooden Fish Three Fixations are activated at the cost of the caster's own lifespan!"

"Each time it is used, it takes a full six months to replenish its power by consuming one's own essence and blood. This causes great damage to the foundation of martial arts and shortens one's lifespan!"

"Each time the 'three agreements' are finalized, both parties must be in equal condition, and the 'agreement' must be based on a life-or-death struggle within three moves. Only then can the agreement be reached!"

"And this item... is ineffective against demons!"

He stared intently at Fang Yu, as if trying to discern any trace of demonic influence on his face.

"Boy! For me to use this to probe your strength, you should tell me... this is already your 'blessing'!"

The moment the words fell, it was as if some invisible shackles had finally been removed!
"call--!"

Qianjin Xun let out a long, pleasant breath, and his entire demeanor suddenly changed!
Like a dormant volcano suddenly awakening!
Click!Click!Click!
His joints made a series of popping sounds, like popping beans!

The loose robes were stretched taut by the suddenly bulging, bulging muscles, outlining an explosive silhouette of power!

"Suck--!"

Qian Jinxun took a deep breath!

As he inhaled that breath, his exposed skin, though not changing color, instantly became as hot as a red-hot iron!

A visible, distorting heat wave suddenly spread out from him!
The smoke-filled ground beneath our feet even emitted a slight sizzling sound!

"call--!"

He exhaled slowly, and a condensed, almost tangible white steam emitted terrifying heat.

It shot out of his mouth like an arrow, violently distorting and deforming the air wherever it passed!

"Do you know why I stopped several times when I was about to kill you?!"

Qian Jinxun's voice was like a rumbling thunder, filled with long-suppressed rage and murderous intent.

"Because I want to get something from you that interests me, I only have three chances! Each chance is incredibly precious!!"

Fang Yu's brows furrowed tightly!
If the pressure Qianjinxun brought him before was merely a suppression of his realm, like facing a treacherous peak.

At this moment... the peak seemed to come alive, transforming into an erupting volcano!

The scorching pressure that rushed towards him, as if it would burn everything, already carried a trace of the terrifying aura belonging to a Sixth Soul Realm expert that he had felt in the main family!
Very strong!

Very strong!
It could even be said that... at this moment, Qian Jinxun, who was burning like a human furnace, was so fierce and violent that Fang Yu felt his life was threatened!

"What kind of skill is this?"

Fang Yu shouted the question, no longer daring to hold back in the slightest!
Gululu...Gululu...

Thick, pale bone fluid, like boiling paste, gushed wildly from every pore of his body!

They quickly cover the body surface, wriggling, shaping, and hardening!
A dense, thick, pale white bone armor, shimmering with a cold metallic luster, was forming on his body at a visible speed!

Faced with this unprecedented and terrifying pressure, Fang Yu must go all out!

He was alert.

I underestimated this hall master of the Foolish Underworld in the capital!
Having successfully dealt with the demon from the main family, coupled with his own rapid improvement in strength, he had indeed become somewhat arrogant and overconfident!
This is... the powerful head of the Imperial Foolish Underworld in the capital!
They truly stood at the top of the power and military pyramid of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Feng Hanhai, who has been rumored to be qualified to succeed the hall master.

Compared to the ferocious beast-like Qianjin Xun before her, she was like a firefly compared to the bright moon!
They're not even in the same league!

Or perhaps Feng Hanhai is severely overrated.

Either the other hall masters of the Foolish Underworld are far less monstrous than this guy in front of them!
I've really run into the toughest nut to crack!

"What? You're starting to covet my cultivation techniques?"

Qian Jinxun looked at the bone armor that instantly covered Fang Yu's entire body, her greed intensifying before turning into cold mockery.

"Boy, you're dreaming too much! Now that the 'Wooden Fish Three-Point Contract' has been formed, I don't need to waste any more words on you!"

The woman who used to be a woman was not such a talkative person.

It was after obtaining the "Three Fixed Points of the Wooden Fish" that the strange rules of its use subtly changed him.

After all, without clearly explaining the rules, the contract cannot be established, and the huge price paid before would be in vain, which is something he absolutely cannot accept!
Since being stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of the Intelligence Soul, there have been countless attempts and countless failures.

That seemingly attainable Six Souls Realm was like an insurmountable chasm that blocked him away, dividing the line between mediocrity and genius!
As the palace lord Ya Qingli descended from the sky, she easily suppressed the entire Yudi Palace with her strength at the sixth level of the Soul Realm.

Qianjinxun never mentioned her inner torment and resentment to anyone!

That anxiety, that humiliation, gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake!

In despair, he sought a different path, pinning his hopes on unusual tools in an attempt to break the deadlock.

After years of painstaking effort and paying a huge price, they finally obtained this strange artifact called "Wooden Fish Three Fixations".

Since acquiring it, Qianjinxun has only used it three times.

The first time, because the details were not explained in enough, the contract was not fully established, and precious lifespan was wasted!

That loss seemed to have damaged his very foundation. Even though he used rare and precious materials to restore his lifespan, it completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope that he could break through to the Six Souls Realm through his own arduous cultivation!
Therefore, he placed all his bets on "Wooden Fish Three Fixes"!

Through deliberate practice and developing the habit, he succeeded on his second and third attempts, taking the life of his target and obtaining the desired technique.

However, even after practicing the stolen techniques, that damned bottleneck remained as solid as a rock!
In addition, the extremely demanding conditions for using this tool have kept the Thousand Turns Master searching for a suitable target and opportunity.

He has a long life ahead of him and is not in a great hurry.

His real targets were never "small fry" like Fang Yu, but rather those established and powerful masters!

The top-tier cultivation techniques they inherited are his true hope for breaking through to the Sixth Soul Realm!

To this end, he even prepared many shady methods, such as coercion and assassination.

Or they might spend a long time "cultivating" specific targets, having them learn specific techniques, only to reap the rewards when the time is right.

He had been operating in the Foolish Underworld for many years and had powerful backers. He had already laid out his plans, but it would take time for them to unfold.

Before that, he himself also needed to cultivate some powerful killing moves he had acquired as a safeguard.
