Chapter 670: Chapter 180: You’re Quite Handsome, You Must Owe a Buttload of Debt, Right?

But the window of opportunity was fleeting.

On the other side, Zhao Tianxing had been waiting for this very moment!

He stopped abruptly and spun around, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Moon Eclipse Arrow—Shatter!"

TWANG!

Another three arrows were loosed at once!

These arrows weren’t meant to just obstruct her anymore. They were filled with resolute killing intent, fanning out in a triangular formation to seal off any escape!

Poisonous mist and vipers in front, lethal arrows behind.

Dongfang Wulei was attacked from both front and rear, instantly trapped in a perilous, deadly situation!

"Celestial Blade Formless, activate!"

At this life-or-death moment, Dongfang Wulei held nothing back, frantically burning the Primordial Qi within her body.

She pushed her Sword Technique to its absolute limit, her entire body transforming into a ball of brilliant saber light.

An impenetrable net of saber light enveloped her completely as she attempted to endure the pincer attack head-on.

But at that moment—

"Ten Thousand Serpent Curse Binding!"

From within the black mist, a clear, cold, and slightly languid female voice rang out.

In the next instant, a scalp-numbing scene unfolded.

From the crevices of the seemingly solid rock beneath Dongfang Wulei’s feet, hundreds, even thousands, of small cyan snakes formed from Demonic Power suddenly burst forth!

They were as fast as lightning. With a SLITHER, they tightly coiled around her ankles and began to frantically spread upwards!

"This... When was this set up?"

Dongfang Wulei’s face fell in shock. ’This is bad,’ she thought.

With her legs bound, she instantly lost her balance and tumbled uncontrollably to the left!

The once-impenetrable net of saber light, because of this stumble, instantly revealed a flaw!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Three Black Kite Arrows, imbued with the might of a Profound Weapon, tore through the air and mercilessly pierced through the gap in the net of saber light, striking her heavily!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The first arrow shattered her Protective Gang Qi!

The second arrow shattered her Protective Armor!

The third arrow struck her body directly!

Dongfang Wulei felt as if her chest had been struck by lightning. Her Protective Primordial Qi instantly shattered into a sky full of light motes.

Although her Profound Armor was not pierced, the terrifying impact still rattled her internal organs out of place.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her body flying backward like a kite with a snapped string!

And that direction was right where the black mist was!

"No!"

Just as she was about to fall into the eerie black mist, the mist seemed to come alive, its speed suddenly increasing.

Like a giant beast opening its maw, it enveloped her completely with a WHOOSH!

"HISSSS!"

As soon as she entered the black mist, the highly corrosive poison seeped in through the gaps in her shattered Protective Primordial Qi.

Dongfang Wulei’s delicate skin was instantly assaulted by a searing pain, like being burned by fire, and it began to SIZZLE and emit white smoke!

"It really... is poisonous! Ahhh!"

At that moment, she felt a sense of fear and despair she had never experienced before.

Her survival instincts kicked in. She recklessly burned her blood essence and stomped her feet hard.

A powerful force erupted, shattering the Ten Thousand Serpent Curse Binding coiled around her ankles. Gathering her qi, she prepared to charge out of this domain of death.

But just then, two figures, one in front and one behind, closed in like ghostly, life-reaping specters!

Zhao Tianxing had, at some point, abandoned his bow and drawn his saber. He and the Cyan Snake, who had taken the form of a human silhouette, moved with incredible coordination, executing an uncanny footwork!

The same "Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step"!

The same "Star Thunder Saber"!

From the left and right, two streaks of saber light imbued with Thunder Power tore through the black mist, slashing ferociously down at her!

"You... you’re bullying me!"

Dongfang Wulei was furious, her eyes filled with humiliation and madness.

A mere boy at the First Heaven of Divine Power Realm and a Snake Demon... They could have just worn her down with the poison mist, yet they dared to challenge her up close with their Sword Technique?

This was a humiliation!

Dongfang Wulei grit her teeth and forced her remaining Primordial Qi to protect her wounds.

The Long Saber in her hand flashed. With a final burst of pride, she charged forward to meet them!

"Die!"

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

A rapid series of metallic clashes echoed across the arena, sending sparks flying!

However, the moment their blades met, Dongfang Wulei’s expression changed drastically.

The two she had underestimated, their Sword Technique was steady and profound, their strikes as powerful and heavy as a collapsing mountain!

Their Sword Force was like a tidal wave, each surge stronger than the last!

Zhao Tianxing was clearly only at the First Heaven of Divine Power Realm, yet with a single slash, the terrifying, layered Sword Force shook her so hard that the web of her thumb split open, her Primordial Qi fell into chaos, and her vision went black!

’Such a fast saber!’

’Such a fierce saber!’

’Is this... Martial Arts from the Seven Stars Gang?’

Dongfang Wulei used all her strength to block five strikes, but her energy was finally exhausted.

"CLANG!"

With a crisp ring, the web of her right thumb was torn completely open. Blood splattered as she lost her grip on her Yanling Saber, which flew from her hand, spun through the air, and embedded itself deep into a large rock nearby.

In the next instant—

KLICK! KLICK!

Two Long Sabers radiating Cold Qi were placed against her neck at the same time.

The icy blades against her skin made the hair on her body stand on end.

The wind stopped.

The mist dispersed.

Zhao Tianxing and the human-form Cyan Snake stood on her left and right, coldly looking down at the disheveled Dongfang Wulei, who was kneeling on the ground.

The entire arena fell deathly silent.

A moment later—

BOOM!

A deafening uproar of shouts and gasps erupted at the foot of Cuiyun Mountain!

"He won? He really won!"

"Heavens! A First Heaven of Divine Power Realm actually defeated a Fourth Heaven of Divine Power Realm True Disciple from the Celestial Blade Pavilion in a head-on fight?"

"Even though it was two-on-one with a contracted Demon Race member... their coordination, their tactics, were simply perfect! The Snake Demon’s poison mist control, the boy’s archery and Sword Technique, tsk tsk!"

"Zhao Tianxing of the Seven Stars Gang is a hidden master! He’s a prodigy with both saber and bow!"

"That’s right! Those last few arrows were especially terrifying! If his cultivation was two heavens higher, Dongfang Wulei probably wouldn’t have even had a chance to get close before being shot dead!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their gazes toward Zhao Tianxing filled with shock and awe.

By extension, they couldn’t help but look at the Seven Stars Gang, tucked away in a corner, with new respect.

With this one battle, this obscure little gang had completely made a name for itself!

「At the Seven Stars Gang’s location.」

Cao Feng, Chen Xuan, and the others, who had been so nervous that their palms were sweating and they couldn’t sit still, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

The feeling of their hearts being stuck in their throats had finally subsided.

The group exchanged glances, their faces breaking into ecstatic and proud smiles.

All this time, Zhao Tianxing’s brilliance had been completely overshadowed by Chu Fan.

In the Seven Stars Gang, Chu Fan was like the dazzling sun, causing many to overlook Zhao Tianxing’s existence.

’To think that he’s already grown so strong without us even noticing!’

Facing a Fourth Heaven of Divine Power Realm disciple from the Celestial Blade Pavilion, he not only won, but he did so in such a clean and decisive manner!

"Well done!"

A group of excited Seven Stars Gang disciples rushed to meet Zhao Tianxing and the Cyan Snake as they stepped down from the arena, surrounding them like returning heroes and escorting them back to their seats.

They showered him with praise, slapping Zhao Tianxing’s shoulders so hard they made THUDDING sounds.

"Tianxing, that arrow shot was so cool!"

"Cyan Snake’s Ten Thousand Serpent Curse Binding was perfectly timed!"

"That Star Thunder Saber is so strong..."

Zhao Tianxing’s honest face turned red from the praise. He scratched his head in embarrassment and chuckled foolishly, "Hehe... It’s all because Old Chu taught me well. We practiced these tactics before..."

The Cyan Snake, having reverted to its small form and coiled around his wrist, flicked its tongue disdainfully and sent a smug telepathic message: "Hmph, I still have plenty of nasty tricks I haven’t used. I didn’t even touch that stack of attack Talismans. This opponent was too weak. She went down before I even warmed up."

Cao Feng and the others: "..."

Behind them, Yun Bufan and Tang Tinghua exchanged a look, both seeing the shock in the other’s eyes.

’Chu Fan can just casually teach someone, and they can defeat a Fourth Heaven as a First Heaven?’

Just then, Shi Hao, who had ambled over at some point, stood with his hands behind his back. He nodded with a gratified expression and commented in a sage-like manner, "Mm, not bad. It seems our efforts were not in vain after all."

Hearing this, everyone from the Seven Stars Gang turned in unison and gave him a synchronized eye-roll.

’What does this have to do with you?’

’When have you ever put in any effort?’

’All we ever see is you trying to drag Chu Fan to the brothel for some "Refining the Heart in the Red Dust"...’

Just then, from the high platform below, Qingyangzi’s voice rang out again: "Demon Suppression Bureau’s Demon Suppression Guard, Chu Fan, versus Vajra Sect’s Song Rentou!"
