Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 275 Martial Arts Body Refinement and Witchcraft Mountain Witchcraft

Lin Fu's gaze was not polite or courteous.

Instead, it was like a beast that had been lurking in the mountains for a long time suddenly smelling the scent of its prey, and two dark flames ignited deep in its pupils.

She slowly stood up, her bare feet touching the muddy ground, her toes curling slightly as she gripped the soft soil.

The seemingly casual movement sent alarm bells ringing in Zhu Ge's mind.

This isn't a human standing posture; it's a mountain.

She stood there, like a mountain.

Not the towering kind, but the kind of mountain that lies deep in the earth, its roots penetrating the core, and you never know how deep it is buried.

"You are very strong," Lin Fu said, her tone confident and without any hint of probing.

She tilted her head, a few stray strands of hair falling beside her ear fluttering in the wind: "I can feel it."

"You too." Zhu Ge gripped the Purgatory Star Staff tightly, but didn't rush to pull it out.

In hand-to-hand combat, using a stick is considered bullying.

He tucked the stick back into his waistband, loosened his knuckles, and made a soft clicking sound.

Liu Jianjian rode her horse back to the roadside, and Zhu Sisi leaned on her shoulder, chewing mulberry leaves at a speed that clearly doubled, showing great interest.

Lin Fu's appearance just now didn't interest Zhu Sisi much, and Zhu Sisi didn't feel much for Lin Fu either. Instead, she exchanged a glance with the Spider Mother Xiao Zi.

"Another fight?" The True Lord of Annihilation poked his head out of the carriage, glanced at it, then shrank back in, muttering "two brutes," but he didn't cover his head with the blanket anymore, clearly not planning to sleep.

He was already used to it; he was bound to have a restless night's sleep on this journey.

The cold just won't go away.

"Again?" Ma Zhu's four legs trembled slightly. He wanted to run but dared not, and stood frozen in place, letting out a low whimper.

Lin Fu suddenly smiled.

The smile was neither charming nor ostentatious, even somewhat clumsy, but there was light in his eyes: "You are the strongest second-realm expert I have ever seen in Yunjiang."

She said that, and then her feet sank.

The ground didn't crack, and no gravel flew out; only her feet sank in.

It wasn't just crushed, it was dented—it was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on the soil beneath her feet, and the soil, unable to bear the weight, could only sink.

Then she disappeared.

Zhu Ge's pupils suddenly contracted; his senses could no longer detect her.

It wasn't about hiding or stealth; it was that her very presence was so overwhelming that it crushed his senses.

The mountain doesn't move, so when it moves, it's not the mountain that moves, but the earth.

"This is tricky!" Zhu Ge closed her eyes, but felt a little excited inside.

As a martial arts practitioner who cultivates the body, who can resist a brutal and exhilarating battle?

The incense-lighting movement technique is activated, but not forward; instead, it moves backward.

He suddenly pushed off the ground, his body shooting out like a fully drawn bow, his right hand reaching out with claw-like fingers, grabbing at the void in front of him.

"Snapped!"

His wrist was grabbed.

It wasn't very strong, but it was heavy.

That heaviness wasn't from grip strength; it felt like the weight of the entire mountain was pressing down on his wrists.

mountain.

Mountains, mountains, mountains, and more mountains.

Is this the Mountain Witch?

Zhu Ge opened her eyes.

Lin Fu was right in front of him, inches away, her bare feet dangling in mid-air, clearly indicating that she had jumped.

"Gotcha!" Lin Fu's eyes brightened.

"Yes, I've got it." The moment Zhu Ge's wrist was grabbed, he activated his waist and stance techniques.

Blood and energy surged from the dantian, flowing into the lower limbs, and the legs dug into the soil, like an ancient tree rooted for thousands of years.

Then he suddenly flung it away.

Lin Fu was instantly thrown out.

However, this wasn't because Zhu Ge was stronger than her; it was because she let go on her own.

She tumbled twice in the air and landed on the top of a pine tree. The branches bent but did not break. Her figure was as light as a cicada's wing, creating an eerie contrast with her heavy aura.

"That's so steady." A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Fu's eyes. "You're a body-refining martial artist? Wow!"

"Body Refinement." Zhu Ge shook her numb wrist, and the pale golden dragon scale patterns on her skin slowly faded away.

"We mountain witches love body-refining martial artists the most!" Lin Fu leaped down from the treetop and landed on the ground without making a sound. All her weight was absorbed into her body, not revealing a trace of it.

Then, she became incredibly excited and threw a punch.

One punch.

Simple and straightforward, like a mountain crashing down from the sky.

Zhu Ge did not retreat. His blood surged, and his martial arts origin heart beat wildly, concentrating all his strength into his right fist.

He didn't use the Dawnbreaker Intent, nor the Furious Vajra Palm, nor any other martial arts technique; it was just one punch. Fist against fist, force against force.

"boom--"

The two fists collided, and a shockwave exploded outwards.

The surrounding soil was uprooted to a depth of a foot, trees were uprooted, and pebbles were scattered like bullets.

Liu Jianjian had already ridden her horse and flown into the sky. Zhu Sisi was perched on her shoulder. Mulberry leaves were blown away by the wind, but she didn't chase after them. She just stared intently at the battlefield below.

The Annihilation True Lord remained motionless, as if he were dead.

"That's impressive!" Zhu Ge took seven steps back, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground.

His right arm trembled slightly, the web between his thumb and forefinger split open, and blood dripped down his wrist.

The dragon scale patterns on his skin all emerged, spreading from his chest to his arms, and from his arms to his fingertips, with a pale golden light flickering, as if he were under some enormous pressure.

Lin Fu did not back down. She looked down at her fist, where there were tiny white marks on the surface, left by Zhu Ge's fist.

The next moment, the girl took a deep breath, and her body suddenly swelled up.

It's not that I've gotten fat, it's that I've gotten solid!

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ge felt a bit embarrassed.

Every muscle in the girl bulged, every bone became thicker, and rock-like patterns appeared on her skin, grayish-white, like marble.

Her hair, which had gone from being shiny and smooth, became thick and stiff like steel wires, standing up like an upside-down pine forest.

A perfectly healthy young girl has turned into a muscular freak!?

"Why are you a little angry?"

Zhu Ge felt his martial arts heart beating even more intensely.

The next moment, his figure appeared like smoke and mist in front of Lin Fu and punched the hedgehog-headed man.

"Thump"

It felt like hitting a mountain wall, making Zhu Ge's fists go numb.

Lin Fu remained completely still.

She turned around, grabbed Zhu Ge's wrist, and punched Zhu Ge in the face with her other hand.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, Zhu Ge's face was in excruciating pain, as if he had returned to his ordinary life, as if he had just struck it rich.

Then, two streams of hot liquid flowed from his nose, and his mouth tasted only a metallic sweetness.

He got beaten so badly his nose is bleeding!

Zhu Ge felt as if his blood was about to explode.

He actually got a nosebleed from being hit?

Zhu Ge almost lost control and broke through to the third realm.

Fortunately, he held back.

However, he eventually became excited: "Great! Very strong! The Mountain Witch is indeed tough!"

"Hahaha! That's awesome!" Lin Fu laughed loudly, "Finally, there's someone my age I can beat up to my heart's content!"

"Come, Zhuge, defeat me! Then, according to the ancient tradition—"

"Match me!"
