Despite Zhou Daoji’s disdain and putting Chen Fan down, he gave all he had in the first round of exchanges. He murmured something in this mouth and formed a Void Dimension Dharma Seal in a blink. Then, two dragons formed by deadly Malice Qi shot out from under his puffed sleeves.
Huang Wenze used to mention that Zhou Daoji was able to form a Dharma Array in under seven incantations and that ability had earned him the first place among Southern Sect’s Arcane Finger branch. There and then, Zhou Daoji had formed a Dharma Array in just one incantation.
“Boom!”
The Malice Qi Dragon swept across the stage and stormed at Chen Fan. Zhou Daoji’s hair flowed in the wind and his sleeves flapped. The two Malice Qi dragons twisted and braided their bodies together to form a thicker and more powerful Malice Qi. It lanced out at Chen Fan and the tip of its spinning top was pointing directly at Chen Fan’s heart.
Faced before the belligerent and world-devouring Malice qi Dragon, Chen Fan remained calm.
The tornado in his hand seemed small in comparison with the dragon, however, it was formed by True Essence and was spinning at an incredible speed. The edge of the gyrating whirlwind was sharper than a blade, and as it sliced through the air, it created countless slivers of vacuum that quickly disappeared with a fantastic explosions of blue flames.
“Arise!”
Chen Fan gave the tornado a gentle push, sending the blue tornado flying across the air, tracing out a long tail in the air. As it whistled through the air, it rammed directly into the incoming Malice qi Dragon.
Despite its small size, the blue tornado buried itself into the belly of the dragon and came out from the other end without any reduction in speed. It was as sleek as a knife going through a piece of Tofu.
“s.h.i.+t!”
Zhou Daoji’s face suddenly darkened.
His array was formed using the Finger and Palm technique that gathered the Malice qi in between the Heaven and Earth. However, Chen Fan’s technique was very different. Not only the tornado was much smaller, and hence the energy was more concentrated, the tornado was formed using Chen Fan’s own True Essence. The Malice qi dragon’s energy was too far spread out to counter the concentrated attack at one point and therefore was easily pierced through.
“Form!”
Zhou Daoji let go of the Malice qi Dragon and folded his hands before his chest. His finger moved with incredible speed until they turned into a blurry shadow. As he s.h.i.+fted through numerous Dharma Seals, a Yin Yang Dharma Array appeared before his chest. The array was fused with the Yang Energy of the nascent sun as well as the Yin Energy that connected to the core of the earth. The two powerful energies blended inside the Dharma Array and formed a pulse of energy that was shaped like a Yin Yang Fish. The Yin Yang Fish suddenly increased in size in a spinning motion and formed a Tai Chi diagram in the air.
“Bang!”
The tornado sizzling with blue energy smashed into the Yin Yang Dharma Array. This Yin Yang Dharma Array was supposed to be able to stop a bullet, however, it was only able to slow down the tornado slightly before it crumbled. That being said, the spell had given Zhou Daoji a few precious moments to react. He fished out a turtle sh.e.l.l and shot it into the air above his head. The Turtle sh.e.l.l didn’t fall down, instead, it floated in the air while shooting a ray of yellow light onto Zhou Daoji.
When the tornado finally reached the yellow light, the light flickered but held itself in the end.
“My friend, you are really worthy of being at the top of the Heaven roll. No wonder Kunlun would consider you at the peak levels of Martial arts, Dharma Spells and Physical Refinement. I had initially thought that you are just a martial arts Grandmaster, and didn’t expect you to have such a high level of attainment in dharma spells as well.” Zhou Daoji exclaimed.
Although he had been extra cautious and tried to be as conservative as possible while estimating Chen Fan’s power, he had still underestimated the boy’s power. In the end, he was forced to use his protection Dharma Artifact just to escape Chen Fan’s first attack.
He quickly registered that the tornado Chen Fan used was not a Martial Artist skill. Instead, it was an Air Element Spell with a twist of Thunder Element.
“If that is all you are capable of, you might as well concede defeat and let me kill you right now.”
Chen Fan said indifferently.
He had only used a simple art called the Art of Explosive Qi, and had already forced Zhou Daoji to a corner. If the fight continued this way, Zhou Daoji would be defeated very soon.
Compared to Martial arts, the power of Dharmic Dao was much greater, but it also needed a much longer time to prepare. Therefore, when Chen Fan was fighting Lei Qianjue, Lei Qianjue had forsaken Dharmic Dao spells and focused on martial arts. Zhou Daoji, on the other hand, would be a perfect opponent for Chen Fan to peer into the secrets of Feng Shui and compare the power of Dharmic Dao on earth with that in the Immortal Cultivation world to see which one was more powerful.
That being said, Chen Fan already had the answer even before the fight.
“I am starting to regret my decision of challenging you” Zhou Daoji gave Chen Fan a wry smile. Suddenly, he locked his eyes onto Chen Fan’s and said in a saddening tone: “You have killed my disciple and tried my honor. I couldn’t just sit around and let you disgrace me and my dear disciple. If I don’t avenge him, I will have wasted six decades of hard training.”
As he said that, his hair was blown into the air and his eyes glinted an electrifying light. Sadness and sorrow were written all over his face as a wave of powerful energy loomed around him.
He had finally revealed his true colors as the deadly spellcaster feared by everyone in Hong Kong. The previous exchange was simply a warm-up, what was going to come next would be the real battle, and it was a battle of life and death.
“I have studied many schools of cultivation and added in a unique touch of Feng Shui arts to create the Arcane Feng Shui Art of the Zhou. I will show you its power in its full glory.”
Zhou Daoji slowly extended two palms.
Despite his age, his skin was as smooth as that of a sixteen-year-old girl.
In the traditional Tantric Buddhism; a finger represented one of the cardinal directions of East, West, South, North, Up, Down, History, Present, Near and Far. Zhou Daoji’s Dharma Spells were similar to the secret ars of Tantric Buddhism as well as that of ancient Witch Sect.
The Dharma Seal changed forms as he kept on the chanting words with primordial sounds. He had only chanted one incantation to summon the Malice Qi Dragon, but by now, he had already uttered more than a dozen incantations.
“Humph!!”
