High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Let's rewind to two or three minutes earlier.

Chen Fan led the Song family patriarch out of the Martial Arts Association and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

"Hey kid, where are you going!"

The Song family patriarch roared angrily.

What a joke! If it were to get out that he personally had to put in so much effort to deal with a junior, people would probably laugh their heads off.

However, Chen Fan ignored him and, in the blink of an eye, left the city and fled northeast.

"Where do you think you're going!"

The Song family patriarch naturally wouldn't give up and followed closely.

Along the way, it attracted the attention of many people.

However, the two were incredibly fast, like a gust of wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

"How come this kid runs so fast?"

The Song family patriarch frowned slightly.

Something feels off.

If it were just a True Essence Realm martial artist, the opponent wouldn't even be able to escape the city; he could capture them immediately.

But now?

"Could this person be the man surnamed Wang in disguise, deliberately trying to lure me to an ambush?"

He hesitated for a moment, then immediately slowed down.

He spread his divine sense around to see if any Celestial Realm martial artists were lying in ambush nearby.

To his surprise, there was no aura of any Celestial Realm martial artist around him.

Just then, Chen Fan stopped, turned around to look at him, and smiled slightly, saying, "No need to look, I'm all alone here."

"?"

The Song family patriarch stared intently into Chen Fan's eyes. Having lived for hundreds of years, he couldn't immediately discern the other's intentions.

Could it be that they want to separate them so they can defeat them one by one?

The problem is, just him? And what about all those people in the Martial Arts Association?

"snort."

Thinking of this, he sneered and said, "Kid, I don't care what you're planning, but I have one thing to say to you: in the face of an absolute difference in strength, any schemes or tricks are useless."

"Is that so? Then let me see if your strength is as formidable as you claim."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he raised his right hand.

In an instant, a blood-red hand, as large as a small mountain, appeared behind him.

As Chen Fan's hand fell, it slammed down hard towards the Song family patriarch!

"What?!"

The Song family patriarch was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

This hand must be a hundred meters long, right?

Is this the kind of skill a True Essence Realm martial artist could possess?

However, with the giant hand about to fall, it was too late to dodge.

"Damn it!"

The Song family patriarch was filled with regret. Clearly, the guy in front of him was not a True Essence Realm martial artist; he was also a Celestial Realm martial artist!

This information gap put him at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

"Lightning Shield!"

At the critical moment, he roared and unleashed the Four Symbols Mystic Art.

The lightning elements in the surrounding world rapidly gathered above his head, forming a purple shield.

The crimson handprint collided with the purple lightning shield, crushing it to pieces like dry leaves, and then slammed it onto the ground where the Song family patriarch stood with a loud boom.

"boom!"

The ground within a radius of several hundred meters suddenly sank twenty or thirty meters, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Chen Fan activated the Emperor's Aura Observation Technique and immediately detected the aura of the Song family's patriarch.

Surprisingly, it's about the same as before.

This caused his expression to change slightly.

His palm strike definitely hit the opponent. Even if the opponent drew lightning element to form a shield above their head at the last moment, it wouldn't have much effect.

As a result, they failed to even seriously injure their opponent.

He wasn't too surprised, and simply raised his right hand again.

The giant hand reappeared behind him, slamming down with earth-shattering power towards the deep pit in front of him.

"What?!"

From within the deep pit came the terrified voice of the Song family patriarch.

He was able to survive entirely thanks to the precious armor he was wearing.

The armor that had been with him for over a hundred years shattered at this moment.

Fortunately, this time he was prepared. After roaring, the surrounding spiritual energy frantically gathered behind him, eventually transforming into a hundred-meter-long purple spear. As he threw it, the purple spear collided fiercely with the blood-red handprint.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded.

The blood-red handprint was pierced directly by the purple spear, and the front half of the purple spear was also smashed to pieces before both exploded.

This outcome was expected by both parties.

"Boy, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be a Celestial Realm martial artist. No wonder you dared to lure me out alone."

The Song family patriarch, panting heavily, said, "What you used was the Giant Spirit Hand, wasn't it? I didn't expect there would actually be someone who could use this martial art. However, what I'm curious about is, having used the Giant Spirit Hand twice in a row, can you use it a third time?"

A cold smile appeared on his lips, and lightning crackled in his right hand.

Then, another purple spear slowly took shape behind him.

"What if I could?"

Chen Fan said.

"Hahaha."

The Song family patriarch laughed loudly, with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you haven't been at the Celestial Realm for long, have you? For a martial artist in the early Celestial Realm, once is the limit to unleash that move you just used. Even with your exceptional talent, two times would be about the maximum."

"To be honest, if you hadn't offended my Song family, I really wouldn't have wanted to kill you. Too bad, you'd better admit defeat and not make me lift a finger, or your life will be in danger."

"Then I'll show you my limits."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he slapped down with his palm again.

The colossal giant hand reappeared, its crimson true energy seemingly filling the entire sky.

"What?!"

The Song family patriarch's face showed a look of horror.

three times?

This kid actually managed to use Giant Spirit Hand three times in a row?

Could it be that his realm is higher than mine, that he is a mid-stage Celestial Realm martial artist?

Seeing the giant crimson hand approaching, he dared not hesitate any longer and threw the purple spear behind him once more.

"boom!"

The same scene repeated itself.

But unlike the last time, a fourth giant hand has arrived.

Under the incredulous gaze of the Song family patriarch, the giant blood-red hand that followed shattered the rear half of the purple spear and then slammed it down on him.

"How could that be!"

The Song family patriarch was dumbfounded.

Four times?

This thing can be used four times?

Even he could only condense the Thunder Spear using the Four Symbols Profound Technique twice. If he could master the Four Symbols Profound Technique, he might be able to use it three times, and with even greater power. This would be quite impressive among early-stage Celestial Realm martial artists.

But that's all in the future.

"hateful!"

The Song family patriarch was so anxious that his eyes turned bloodshot. He frantically circulated the martial arts true pill within his body, and his true essence was no longer held back. The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) quickly gathered around him, forming a purple armor.

Then, without looking back, he fled into the distance.

That's right, he's going to run away.

Although it is shameful to lose a battle, it is better than losing your life.

As for what to do with Song Tian and the others who remained at the Martial Arts Association headquarters after he ran away, and whether that kid would be in danger if he went back, he couldn't care less about that anymore.

They're just a few juniors. If they're dead, so be it. He can go back and tell his two older brothers what happened here, and then settle accounts with them.

"boom!"

The giant hand struck the Song family patriarch.

The armor formed from lightning on the latter's body shattered instantly.

He flew away like a kite with a broken string.

However, the moment he fell, he got up from the ground, took out some pills from his storage ring and gulped them down, then ran away into the distance without looking back.

Seeing this, Chen Fan revealed a cold smile.

That's right, the true energy in his body has indeed been depleted.

Even with the passive recovery effect of the Longevity Technique, it would be difficult to use the Giant Spirit Hand a fifth time in a short period of time.

However, the other party was in a worse situation than him; not only had his internal energy been exhausted, but he had also suffered serious injuries.

You should know that even without using his true energy, his physical attributes alone are almost on par with those of an ordinary beast king-level ferocious beast.

On the other hand, the opponent had lost his true energy and was pitifully weak.

The next moment, he stomped his foot and caught up with the other person, then kicked him in the back.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out.

The Song family patriarch was nearly kicked to death. His figure flew hundreds of meters away again, landing face-first on the ground like a dog eating shit, with the pills he was holding in his right hand scattered all over the ground.

"No! Don't kill me!"

The Song family patriarch was so frightened that tears streamed down his face, and he kept pleading.

At this point, he couldn't even stand up, let alone run away.

"Don't kill you?"

Chen Fan looked at him with a cold smile, "Do you think that's possible?"

Please.

The Song family patriarch was truly terrified. Having lived for hundreds of years, he had never felt so close to death as he did now.

"If you kill me, the news will spread quickly. At that time, my Song family will spare no expense to kill you and everyone in the Martial Arts Association behind you. But if you don't kill me, I can give you whatever you want. Moreover, I can pretend that what happened today never happened. From now on, my Song family and your Jiangnan Martial Arts Association will keep to ourselves."

Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

Chen Fan chuckled.

"I'll send you back, and then have you bring the other two Celestial Realm warriors from your Song family here, three against one?"

"No, no, that's not it, young brother. If you don't believe me, I swear to God, please, don't kill me." As the Song family patriarch spoke, he actually started to cry.

To ordinary people, he has lived for hundreds of years, which should be enough.

But in his view, it was far from enough. Moreover, he had waited for hundreds of years for the primordial energy of heaven and earth to recover, and he was about to take another step forward, but he died here. It was too frustrating.

"However, killing you like this would indeed be a waste."

Upon hearing this, the Song family patriarch was overjoyed, thinking that Chen Fan had changed his mind. However, the next second, he felt his own power decreasing.

"What, what are you doing to me?"

The Song family patriarch panicked.

Have you ever heard of the Star Absorbing Technique?

Chen Fan placed his palm against the other person's forehead, and streams of pure internal energy flowed from the other person's body into his own dantian.

The original true essence is growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Absorb! Star-Absorbing Technique!"

The Song family patriarch gaped. He had suspected this when he discovered that his internal energy was decreasing, but he still held onto a sliver of hope until Chen Fan said it himself.

"No, no, don't drain my power!" he roared hysterically.

For a martial artist, martial arts skills are more important than life itself.

He would rather be killed by Chen Fan than let his centuries of cultivation go to waste and benefit Chen Fan.

However, Chen Fan ignored it.

Putting yourself in their shoes, if he were of average strength and fell into the hands of these people, his fate would probably be even more miserable than being slowly sliced ​​to death.

Since that's the case, don't blame him for using the Star Absorbing Technique to absorb the opponent's power.

Moreover, he urgently needs to improve his original true essence and reach the Celestial Realm. Absorbing the power of a Celestial Realm martial artist can save him a lot of time.

"Let me go, let me go."

As time passed, the Song family patriarch's internal energy dissipated, and his martial arts core was less than a third of what it used to be. His appearance also aged considerably.

"Boy, if you do this, the Song family will absolutely, absolutely not let you get away with it!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, not only you, but everyone in the Martial Arts Association behind you will also be buried with me!"

After a while, his power completely disappeared, and he became like a hundred-year-old man, barely breathing.

Chen Fan then released him and glanced at the values ​​on the panel.

My original true energy has increased by nearly 3,000 points! From over 6000 before, it has increased to over 9000.

The total amount of true essence has also increased from a little over 4 to over 6, nearly doubling.

"As expected of a Celestial Realm martial artist, even at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, he can provide me with so much true essence."

Chen Fan was overjoyed.

If I could absorb the strength of several more Celestial Realm warriors, I would be able to break through to the Celestial Realm very quickly.

What if it's a martial artist in the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm?

For example, Mr. Wang.

"wrong!"

Chen Fan jolted awake, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat.

What was I thinking just now?

They actually want to harm Old Master Wang?

He quickly closed his eyes and silently recited the Ice Heart Mantra, only then did he feel that the unease in his heart had dissipated considerably.

"Indeed, these techniques that steal the power of others are somewhat evil, and the more you use them, the greater the impact on your own character."

Chen Fan opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.

Neither the Ice Heart Mantra nor the Nine True Words can fundamentally solve the problem. Fortunately, once the Free and Unfettered Journey is unlocked, he won't have to worry about this issue anymore.

His gaze fell upon the Song family patriarch lying on the ground, who was barely breathing.

Even if we don't kill him, he won't live long here.

However, just to be on the safe side, Chen Fan slapped the other person to death and then threw the entire corpse into a spatial ring.

The situation is urgent, and he doesn't know what will happen at headquarters. He has no time to search the other person's body. Throwing the body into his spatial ring will both destroy the evidence and allow him to search for the body later.

Then, he looked toward the direction of Jiangnan City.

The Song family patriarch is dead; the rest of the Song family are no threat.

As for Karl, let's send him down to the underworld with the Song family patriarch. (End of Chapter)
