Chapter 587: Strange Battle Technique

When he changed his move at the last minute to receive Kansas’ punch, Chu Nan had already expected that he would definitely be heavily injured.
However, after truly receiving this punch, although the force coming from Kansas’ fist was as terrifying as expected and he was unable to completely block it, the force on his fist surged into Chu Nan’s body from the point where their fists collided. However, he was surprised to discover that his meridians had actually forcefully endured this powerful force.
He originally thought that he would be heavily injured, but after receiving this punch, the force on his fist was continuously worn down by the layers of Internal Breath fused with spatial energy in his meridians. Before long, it turned into nothingness and completely faded.
This powerful force only invaded his arm and shoulder before disappearing. It could not take another step forward, so it naturally could not cause any damage to Chu Nan’s internal organs.
Although the meridians in his arm and shoulder had been damaged to varying degrees, especially his right palm, which was almost completely crippled, the effect of these injuries was limited and would not cause much damage to Chu Nan’s overall combat strength.
!!
The most obvious thing was that after Chu Nan received this punch, he did not even spit out a mouthful of blood!
Moreover, Chu Nan had let himself be in the state of Life Explosion from the beginning and the effect of using the Flame of Life was extremely good. It would not take long for such an injury to completely recover.
The reason why Chu Nan had only thought of such a method to resolve the powerful force of the enemy invading his body was completely forced by Supremacy Oville.
Because Supremacy Oville had forbidden him from using a method where both sides suffered losses, Chu Nan could not fight to the death like he did when dealing with other enemies. Even if the other party was only lightly injured and he was heavily injured, he would actually be at an advantage because of his powerful recovery ability.
Chu Nan could only think of a way to ensure that he always had enough combat strength in a battle and could not be easily heavily injured.
Previously, he did not feel any pressure when fighting those Void Break Martial Artists of the Sand Eagle. He did not spend much effort thinking about how to resolve the other party’s strength. In any case, it did not matter if he was injured. At most, he would treat him again.
Now, he was forced to think of a way, but he knew very well that his true strength was greatly inferior to the other party. It was impossible for him to directly resolve it, so he thought of a way to wear it down bit by bit.
As it turned out, this method was very useful.
With his powerful data ability, Chu Nan could very accurately determine how powerful his Internal Breath should be to wear down his defense. Only then could he effectively resolve the other party’s strength and not cause too much damage to himself.
Although he had changed his move at the last minute before receiving Kansas’s punch, he was already prepared.
When he truly threw the next punch, he activated the Internal Breath in his body. He did not try to block all the force outside his body but allowed it to enter. In the end, just as he had calculated, he completely resolved this huge force on his shoulder.
Although he had paid the price of temporarily crippling his entire right arm, his internal organs were not injured. His Internal Breath was still intact, and his control of spatial energy would not be affected at all. Therefore, in short, the loss was acceptable.
Most importantly, Chu Nan relied on this to find a way to last if he could not avoid fighting the other party head-on. Otherwise, with the huge difference in strength between the two of them, he might be heavily injured and lose the chance to win.
Of course, there was also a problem with this. He did not know if it should be considered an internecine outcome and violate Supremacy Oville’s instructions.
“I don’t think so… That guy is not injured. It can only be said that I was injured by the other party. It can’t be said that both sides were injured, right?”
A thought flashed through Chu Nan’s mind, and then as expected, he felt the spatial energy in the surrounding space stir wildly.
After obtaining the advantage with a punch, he naturally would not let Chu Nan off so easily and attacked continuously.
However, Chu Nan was already confident at this moment. From the few exchanges earlier, he had an even more accurate evaluation of the other party’s strength. All kinds of data quickly flowed into his mind and easily resolved Kansas’s series of attacks.
Kansas was still expressionless and attacked continuously, but he gradually became anxious.
This kid was clearly not strong, but his cultivation method was special and there were always some unexpected reactions. He was actually extremely skilled in external martial techniques, causing him to be unable to gain any advantage with his fists and feet.
After the two of them fought for a long time, it seemed that Kansas had been maintaining his attack and Chu Nan could only desperately defend. However, in fact, other than the initial collision that injured Chu Nan, none of his attacks were truly effective. They were either cleverly resolved by him or were simply dodged.
“Kid, aren’t you ashamed of dodging?” After another punch was easily dodged by Chu Nan, Kansas could not help but shout.
“Aren’t you ashamed that a guy who is clearly higher than me is bullying the weak?” Chu Nan asked.
“Damn, do you think I’m willing to waste time with you?” Kansas cursed in his mind and put away his distracting thoughts. His every move became even calmer.
Through the battle just now, he knew that it was already impossible to rely on ordinary fists and feet to deal with this detestable kid. If he wanted to really defeat this kid, the safest way was to rely on his true strength which far exceeded the other party. That was to rely on his stronger Internal Breath and use of spatial energy to slowly wear Chu Nan down.
In the end, Chu Nan was only a guy who had just broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate. No matter how outstanding his cultivation method was or how talented he was, it was impossible for his use of spatial energy to compare to a fourth-stage Void Break Martial Artist like him who had broken through for many years.
In the end, it was only a competition of whose Internal Breath was deeper.
How could Chu Nan compare to him in this aspect?
To his surprise, after he changed his method, Chu Nan actually changed his method with him and also calmed down. He actually assumed a posture of slowly grinding it out with him.
This surprised Kansas.
The impression this kid had always given him was that he was extremely cunning and detestable. How could he not see through his goal of changing his method?
He was already mentally prepared for Chu Nan’s various strange moves to change and planned to deal with all changes by remaining unchanged. However, Chu Nan was also calm, causing him to be puzzled.
However, although it was baffling, it was naturally extremely beneficial for him to exhaust his Internal Breath like this.
As long as this kid’s Internal Breath could not last for a period of time, he could attack with lightning speed and heavily injure him. He could obtain victory and ask that mysterious Star-Grade expert to fulfill his promise and let him and the entire fleet live.
As time slowly passed, the white light on Chu Nan’s body clearly faded, and his Internal Breath was clearly much weaker. Even his flying speed had decreased slightly, so it could be seen that he had exhausted a lot.
On the other hand, Kansas was still calm. Although he had also exhausted a lot, his Internal Breath was far deeper than Chu Nan’s and the effect was much smaller.
“Heh, kid, why did you suddenly become stupid?” Kansas looked at Chu Nan who was slapping him and could not help but feel puzzled.
Could it be that this kid was being kind and actually planned to let him go?
However, why did he desperately harass and stop the fleet previously?
However, he did not know that there was a number continuously changing in Chu Nan’s mind.
“…74%, 73%… 61%… 49%, 17% more…”
Chu Nan’s entire body suddenly erupted with white light. His entire body was bright and could not be looked at directly. He threw a punch and all the light in the surrounding space seemed to have been sucked in. Only a ball of light flickered on his fist and headed straight for Kansas.
In terms of fist technique alone, this punch was insignificant. It was the first move of the first stance of the Hong Clan’s Long Fist that Chu Nan had not seen for a long time—Sitting Horse Rush Fist.
However, the current Chu Nan’s strength was far greater than last year. Be it the momentum or power, it was extremely shocking. Even Kansas had no choice but to treat it seriously.
The more surprised he was by the power of this punch, the more puzzled he became.
Such a shocking punch would definitely consume even more of Chu Nan’s Internal Breath.
Chu Nan’s Internal Breath was insufficient to begin with, so what was the meaning of consuming such a large amount of Internal Breath to punch out a punch that was not a threat to him?
In order to consume Chu Nan’s Internal Breath more and make it impossible for him to retreat later, Kansas did not dodge this punch and similarly threw it.
It was rare for Chu Nan to give him a chance to fight head-on, so how could he let it go?
Boom!
This punch condensed almost all of Chu Nan’s remaining Internal Breath and mobilized the surrounding spatial energy to the greatest extent. In his Life Explosion state, the power of this punch had been calculated through powerful data. The power was even comparable to the full-strength strike of a fourth-stage Void Break Martial Artist.
After exchanging this strike with Chu Nan, Kansas could not help but sway. He felt a sweetness in his throat and a trace of blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth. His meridians had been slightly damaged by Chu Nan’s punch.
“This kid is actually able to unleash such a powerful strike. He really can’t be underestimated.”
Just as surprise arose in his heart, he saw the dazzling white light emitted by Chu Nan instantly dim. The entire space that had lit up after Chu Nan struck out became dark.
As if to complement this darkness, a dense black aura suddenly surged out from Chu Nan’s body and instantly enveloped his entire body before quickly spreading.
