Chapter 169 - The Power Of A Grandmaster (2/2)

A figure hidden behind a blurry whiteness flashed into view right before Tong Shan. Tong Shan snarled at the white figure and attacked him with the Tiger Demon Claws.

The man in white cloak blocked with one arm, his movement was almost lazy.

When his block came into contact with the Tiger Demon’s Apparition, it was unaffected by the phantom’s interference. The arm went through the apparition and landed on Tong Shan’s chest.

“Bang!”

The sound was deep like the morning bell toll of the ancient Buddhist temple.

The man in white looked small in size compared to Tong Shan, however, Tong Shan was staggered by the man’s counter attack. Tong Shan wasn’t able to regain the balance of his hulking frame until he stumbled back a few dozen feet.

On Tong Shan’s chest, a clear impression with the shape a palm was pressed deeply into the surface. If Tong Shan was a normal human, such a wound would have fractured his rib cage and busted his heart. Fortunately, Tong Shan was a Bronze Armored cadaver and therefore he was not decommissioned immediately.

“Such power! Who the h.e.l.l is he?”

Everyone rounded their eyes in disbelief.

Just a moment ago, Tong Shan seemed nearly invincible. Of all the weapons they threw at him, none could have caused any serious damage. His attacks were so powerful that he would crack open a boulder. The dead bodies on the ground were a testament to his immeasurable strength. However, he was staggered by a languid counter-attack from the man in white.

“Family Lord!”

Lu Tianlong and Lu Haixuan both tightened their face and cupped their fists in the uttermost respect.

“The family lord of the Lu family, the Martial arts Grandmasters, Lu Tianfen!”

Suddenly, the crowd boiled over and countless elated martial artists looked to the man in white ardently. By then, they could finally make out the features on his face. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and he was wearing a loosely fitted martial artist exercise s.h.i.+rt, the kind one would find in the morning on old people who practices Tai Chi.

Everyone knew Lu Tianfen’s name. He was of similar age as Lu Tianlong and should be at least sixty or seventy years old by then. It was evident that the Transcendent Masters could slow down their aging. Some Transcendent Masters looked young even when they were over a hundred.

“Another Grandmaster!”

Someone exclaimed with a trembling voice.

In the martial arts world, Grandmasters were the stuff of legends. They existed beyond any ordinary people’s comprehension. To have a Grandmaster in a family meant an instant rise in power for the entire family clan.

Just like Ye Nantian, Lei Qianjue was a dominating figure in his own territory: Lu Tianfen was the one calling the shots in the Tian Nan region while sitting on his seat of power in Lin City.

Lu Tianfen stood in the middle and didn’t pay anyone any attention. He heaved a sigh and lamented: “Tianlong, Haixuan, you two have disappointed me.”

“My lord!” Already, sweat appeared on Lu Tianlong’s forehead. Even Lu Haixuan looked troubled and embarra.s.sed.

“Our family lords over the Tian Nan region, then act like lords. If you want that recipe, you should just take it. Why do you have to conspire with lowly sects such as the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect or the Diamond Temple? Do you really think that we are beneath Su Wudi and Elder Qi? “Lu Tianfen said lightly.

“You are right my Lord. It was my fault. I should have reported back to you.” Lu Tianlong said in fearful respect.

“What a pompous family. Do you mean that I should just give away my recipe?” Chen Fan asked coldly.

“Shut up you little s.h.i.+t. Where are your manners?” Lu Tianfen waved a hand and shot out a white wave of palm-shaped energy toward Chen Fan. In a blink, it appeared right in front of Chen Fan.

“Pa!”

Tong Shan shot out an arm to block the attack for Chen Fan. The strike landed on Tong Shan’s arm and created a shallow but discernible impression. This meant that Lu Tianfen was able to unleash his Internal Force to hurt his enemy.

“Not bad. Your servant seemed to have achieved the Grandmaster level of the Physique Refinement cultivation. And what was that? some kind of Four Righteousness Protection Aura? Interesting.” Lu Tianfen remarked lightly. “However, it was still a mistake for you to defy the Lu family.”

“You have never seen the power of…”

Before he finished talking, Tong Shan threw himself at him. The air crackled as the Tiger Demon Claw tore it open, sending powerful gusts in all directions.

“The power of a Grandmaster!”

Lu Tianfen closed in unhurriedly like a puff of cloud on a windless day. When Tong Shan’s attack came, he dodged and was successful.

Suddenly, countless strands of white smoke billowed up from his body and with a wave of a hand, he somehow gathered the smoke into his palm. When he folded his hands, the smoke turned into a white glow and shot out at Tong Shan.

The white glow looked harmless, however, when it landed on the Tiger Demon’s Phantom, it nearly tore it apart. The impact then sent Tong Shan flying back. On Tong Shan’s shoulder a crack appeared, it was as if someone had stabbed a sharp knife through a tin can and slashed at it.

“Is this the Cloud Hand of the Lu family?”

Someone gasped.

Cloud Hand was a renowned secret technique from the Lu family. When it was used by the Grandmasters, it would create a splendid view of cloudy mists around the user. It was powerful yet extremely adaptable; flexible yet unyielding when it had to. Rumor has it that the infamous art of Thousand Trickeries used by Lei Qianjue from the Hong Sect was inspired by the Cloud Hand.

“Kaboom!”

Tong Shan’s hulking frame thudded into the wall and created a two-meter wide hole.

The family lord had dominated his confrontation with Tong Shan and displayed his unmatched power as a Grandmaster.
