Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 479 Eight Steps to the Sun
Malu also waved like Yuan Xiaoyun, and two green lights rose from the deck and fell into his palm.

However, Malu did not have the magical telepathy that Yuan Xiaoyun had, so he had to lower his head to see what card he had drawn. After looking at it, he did not rush to play it, but glanced at the blood volume in the lower left corner of Yuan Xiaoyun.

Yuan Xiaoyun doesn’t have much health left, only 114 points.

However, since he inherited the mantle of his father Ren Tongtian, he probably also has some extraordinary skills like the Ku Chan Gong that can disguise himself.

So this may not be his real health point. Malu estimates that there may be a second stage.

He still started with the Ice Skin and Jade Body Technique, which increased his true energy by 9 points and put him in the invincible ice skin state.

Yuan Xiaoyun on the opposite side let out a light exclamation. Malu had demonstrated his internal strength in front of everyone before. At that time, he was still using the Dragon Capturing Technique, which was only at the third level. He didn't expect that it would change during the fight.

Theoretically, if a person practices many martial arts, he can adjust the deck before each battle. Yuan Xiaoyun does this himself.

He secretly practiced the martial arts left by Ren Tongtian, but when he competed with others in public, he still used the Beggar Gang's martial arts, so as to ensure that his identity would not be exposed.

However, internal strength is not included in this list, because different kinds of true qi will conflict with each other in the Dantian and it is difficult for them to coexist.

"It seems that you have a lot of secrets."

Yuan Xiaoyun looked at Malu deeply.

Malu didn't respond and played another card, Drinking Alone Under the Moon. The basic effect of this light skill card was to draw another card.

In addition, you can draw an extra card each time damage is dealt during this round.

After Malu drew the cards, he immediately raised his sword and stabbed Yuan Xiaoyun opposite him.

Yuan Xiaoyun remained calm in the face of danger. He waited until the sword was close to him before he extended his right hand, drew a half circle, and touched the tip of the sword.

The next moment, Malu felt his true energy stagnate, and the strength in his hands was instantly reduced by 90%.

The last sword only left a shallow wound on Yuan Xiaoyun's arm.

The number above the head of the red man in the lower left corner of Yuan Xiaoyun dropped from 114 to 105.

Malu just used the second move of the Soul-Breaking Spear - Broken Hearts. The power of this move was mediocre, only 29 points.

Yuan Xiaoyun still had 23 points of parry value. Even with the bonus of the chef's knife, this attack only caused 9 points of damage, and it also triggered the effect of the Eternal Armor, giving Yuan Xiaoyun an extra layer of healing status.

In the healing state, Yuan Xiaoyun will recover 4 health points every round, and this healing effect will last for 6 rounds, restoring a total of 24 health points for him.

In other words, Malu's sword just now not only failed to hurt Yuan Xiaoyun, but instead gave him 15 more health points.

However, under the influence of Drinking Alone Under the Moon, Malu drew another card.

"Where is your Xiantian Pure Yang Palm? Why don't you use it?"

Yuan Xiaoyun said, "Are you worried that my Hundred Faces and Thousand Aspects might be learned by you? But if you don't use the magical skills taught by Master, how can you hurt me with just these simple moves?"

Malu ignored Yuan Xiaoyun and played a black snake.

This is the starting move of the Black Snake Sword Technique. Its power is slightly lower than that of Heartbroken, at only 20 points, but it comes with the coiled snake state.

The coiled snake state does not affect the target, but the millipede itself, and can increase the power of the next attack by 10%.

Yuan Xiaoyun no longer had any parry value left, so he could only take the attack. His health then dropped further from 105 to 75 points.

But there was still no panic on his face. He watched Malu use the Fire Toad Power again to replenish the consumed Qi, and then he spoke again. "I underestimated your ambition. It seems that you want to defeat me in one round."

Malu did not deny it. "Brother, your Hundred Faces and Thousand Appearances looks quite troublesome. To be on the safe side, it is better not to let it return to your hands."

He didn't know the exact amount of Yuan Xiaoyun's health, but he still held an Eight-Step Rising Sun in his hand.

This is the seventh move of the Xiantian Pure Yang Palm, and its power reaches 103 points.

With the snake state and the chef's knife, it can cause 170 points of damage to Yuan Xiaoyun, which should be enough to clear his remaining health bar.

After Malu finished speaking, he dropped his sword and wielded his palm instead, stepping forward. With every step he took, his aura became three points stronger. In the end, he took eight steps in total, and the accumulated strength reached its peak.

The palm of my hand felt like a red-hot anvil, with wisps of hot steam rising from it.

Then Malu slapped Yuan Xiaoyun on the chest.

Yuan Xiaoyun was hit by this extremely powerful palm and performed a blood bar disappearing technique on the spot, and 75 points of life evaporated in an instant.

But then he did not fall down, nor did he enter the second stage, showing his real health bar.

Malu was surprised to notice that the number above the head of the little red man in the lower left corner was not 0, but 1.

Hmm, is this the legendary...blood lock?

But isn’t it generally only the bosses in action games that have their health locked? How can it be locked while playing cards?

After receiving this blow, Yuan Xiaoyun's face turned pale, but a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

"More than 20 years ago, Ren Tongtian died under Master's Xiantian Pure Yang Palm. Do you think I will make the same mistake again?

"Since I inherited his legacy, I have lived in fear all the time, worried that one day my master would find out that I already knew my true identity and would be ruthless enough to kill me.

"So during that time, I was desperately looking for a way to deal with the Xiantian Pure Yang Palm. As a result, my efforts paid off. I actually found a martial art that can specifically restrain the Xiantian Pure Yang Palm."

Yuan Xiaoyun said as he showed a card.

This card is called Immortal Xuanyin Body. It is a protective card with a very strange effect.

When encountering an attack with more than 100 points of damage in a single round, the Xuanyin Body can absorb the excess damage and convert the stored damage into life when this card is played.

The damage that Millipede caused to Yuan Xiaoyun in this round has already exceeded 100 points.

At this time, Yuan Xiaoyun only had one drop of blood left, and Malu's turn had not ended yet, but Malu could no longer attack him because the effect of the Immortal Xuanyin Body had been activated.

The next attacks launched by Malu will be absorbed by the Immortal Xuanyin Body, and then when it is Yuan Xiaoyun's turn, these damages will be converted into Yuan Xiaoyun's life.

Therefore, Malu directly played a protective card and ended the round.

"It's my turn again." Yuan Xiaoyun ignored the blood oozing from his chest and raised his hand to touch two cards.
He did not play a card, but said slowly, "I will first activate the effect of Hundred Faces and Thousand Aspects. This card will randomly transform into a move you used in the last round and return it to my hand."

Just as Yuan Xiaoyun was speaking, a card in the cemetery area lit up again, and then the face of the card changed.

"The card that the Hundred Faces and Thousand Phases transforms into is - Eight Steps to the Rising Sun!"
