Chapter 167 - Besieged (2/2)

“Tong Shan killed your disciple, but has your disciple ever killed anyone? Have you? What about your crimes?” Chen Fan flung back.

“Well, Tutuli is my disciple, his life is much more valuable than no accounts.” Master Hen Tian announced.

“Ah… That’s right, in your eyes, my life is as worthless as an ant.” Chen Fan heaved a sigh and waved dismissively at the old man. He had talked enough, it was time for actions. Picking up on the cue, Tong Shan stepped forward and threw a punch at Master Hen Tian. His punch stirred up a gust in the air.

Although Tong Shan’s attack lacked finesse, the immense power in his punch made it no less deadly than Master Gao Baoshen’s skillful execution of the “Ba Ji Cross Punch.” Everyone’s faces paled after seeing the deadly attack, even Elder Qi and Lu Tianlong were taken by surprise. However, Master Hen Tian shouted excitedly: “Good! Come at me, boy!”

Everyone watched as the scrawny old man closed his fingers into a fist and backhanded his attacker’s fist. It was a duel of pure strength.

“Bang!”

After a blare, Master Hen Tian was sent flying back, his body went through a dozen tables and then rammed into a few martial artists, pa.s.sed them and was finally pinned onto a wall. His impact with the group of by martial artists had resulted in a few fractured bones of three innocent bystanders.

However, the old man was unharmed. Instead, he let out a thrilling cry.

“Awesome! It’s been a long time since I fought someone who is my equal. Those Internal Force users were slimy and slippery like eels!”

The scrawny old man pushed against the wall and dislodged himself from the depression that held him in place.

Many onlookers backed away from the two fighters and retreated to safety. The conflict between the two Physique Refinement masters was too dangerous and could easily make an onlooker collateral damage. In contrary, the Physique Refinement masters who were fighting each other had bodies as strong as iron. What did they care if their fight injured a few?

“Uh? The old man could withstand a punch from Tong Shan?”

Chen Fan was slightly impressed.

Tong Shan was a Bronze Armored Cadaver created by the Ghost Witch Sect. After ten years of refinement with molten bronze using secret Cadaver-refining art, his physique could rival a Physique Refinement Master. Later, Chen Fan used the “Tiger Demon’s Physique Refinement Art” on him to further refine his body.

The Tiger Demon’s Physique Refinement Art was a secret art pa.s.sed down from the royal family of the Tiger Demon people. Once one mastered the art, he could live in the vacuum of s.p.a.ce for thousands of years. In addition, it also gave one the ability to walk near the scorching sun unharmed.

Tong Shan had just started the art, therefore, Chen Fan had only taught him the first level. However, even at such an early stage of his cultivation, Tong Shan’s physical strength was already on par with Chen Fan. Chen Fan wagered that only those who had reached Dao Body would have a chance overpowering Tong Shan.

“It seems that I underestimated the Physique Refinement arts on earth. I wager that this old man must have reached beyond the level of a typical Physique Refinement Master, and transcended his physical existent to the realm of Ethereal Enlightenment, or at least very close to it.”

“Come again!”

By then, Master Hen Tian shouted at Tong Shan as he stormed towards him.

When the two collided again, the old man was sent flying again as if he was a fly being flicked off from the back of one’s hand.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

The scrawny old man turned into a wrecking ball and smashed anything or anyone that was in his way, driving the crowd to retreat further. Then, he stuck once again on a wall.

“Is he… even a human?”

The martial artists felt a chill down their spines.

The two fought like vicious primordial beasts. If they kept at it, they would tear the entire building down in no time.

The spectators were enamored by Master Hen Tian’s physical toughness, however, they were completely caught off guard by Tong Shan’s power. Many wondered if Tong Shan was already a Physique Refinement Grandmaster considering he had so far dominated the fight with Master Hen Tian.

“You want to catch me with that pathetic power of yours?”

Chen Fan said as he pointed the finger at Master Hen Tian who was in the process of being sent flying for the third time.

Elder Qi was a brave and powerful man. He was probably the only person who dared to stand close with the two fighters. Seeing Tong Shan had gained the unquestionable upper hand in the battle, a hint of embarra.s.sment crawled onto his face.

“Hehe, Chen Beixuan, we will see who is the last one laughing.”

Elder Qi cleared his throat and asked: “Brother Sun. How long are you planning to hold back your power?”

“Haha! Brother Qi, I was actually waiting for your cue.” Suddenly, a wizened voice drifted out from the crowd. A large middle age man emerged from the spectators.

The middle-aged man had a red face and looked like he was in his forties. However, his glinting eyes suggested that he had lived a much longer life than his appearance suggested.

“Elder of the Xin Yi Sect, Su Wudi— the invincible!”

Everyone gasped.

He was a legend among the martial artists. He had been a trouble maker ever since his adolescence and he often challenged other sects into duels. Over the years, he had defeated countless sects and only failed once in the hands of Ye Nantian, the most powerful man in China.

Even a martial artist who had reached the peak of the Internal Force cultivation would have to take Sun Wudi very seriously.

“Su Wudi should be in his sixties, but he looked at least twenty years younger than his real age. It must be the effect of his Internal Force cultivation. I wager he is only one step away from reaching the Grandmaster level.”

Someone murmured.

Su Wudi strode into the courtyard, and his overbearing quality quickly arrested everyone’s attention. Behind Elder Qi, a previously reticent man with a cold and menacing face straightened his back and stepped forward with him.

A fire grew brighter in his eyes, as he channeled out his Internal Energy. He, too, was a martial artist who had mastered Internal Force.

Suddenly, Chen Fan was besieged by two peak level Internal Force cultivators and a master spell caster.
