261 Kill With a Flick of a Finger (1/2)

The Dragon Taming Dharma Array was created by the most powerful Feng Shui Master of Hong Kong, Zhou Daoji by combining all the secret arts of many different sects, such as the arts of Shooting Stars of the Nine Palaces, Dragon Quelling Qi Point, Eight Trigrams and Six Cardinals. This Dragon Array needed to be cast using Finger and Palm methods, and channel the Power of Heaven and Earth through the Dharmic powers and summon endless Malice Qi. In the end, the Malice Qi would form chains to tie down the enemy. These chains were invisible but stronger than the hardest steel in the world.

An ordinary Dao-Reaching Level cultivator could only unleash one Malice qi chain. However, Nin Tianchen was a genuine spell caster and therefore was able to summon three Dragon Taming Ropes at the same time. His teacher, Zhou Daoji purportedly was able to chain down nine dragons at the same time by unleashing nine chains. Even a Grandmaster would not be able to escape the web of confining malice qi chains.

Once upon a time, there was a Grandmaster of Chinese descent from Southeast Asia that arrived in Hong Kong and threatened the local peace. Zhou Daoji unleashed nine Dragon Taming Chains at the same time to contain his movement and killed him with one finger jab. That event shocked everyone in Hong Kong and Zhou Daoji also quickly rose to fame and was granted the title: the Number one Arcane Finger Master in Southern Sect.

Nin Tianchen was confident that even without using the art his teacher had taught him, he should be able to render the Semi transcendent martial artist defenseless.

To his surprise, Chen Fan broke the confinement with a shrug of shoulders, sending a wave of explosion as the Malice Qi Ropes snapped one after another. In a blink, Chen Fan had regained his movement.

”Remarkable power!”

Nin Tianchen's face suddenly darkened.

He had to restained a peak level Internal Force user using two Chains. A semi transcendent level Martial artist was more powerful than a peak level Internal Force user, but not by this much.

”Maybe I am wrong… He is not semi transcendent level at all, he is a Grandmaster.”

An obscure idea came into Nin Tianchen's mind.

The idea was so ridiculous that even Nie Tianchen quickly brushed it out of his mind. Grandmasters were the immortal dragons who lived in heaven. Even though his teacher, Zhou Daoji had killed a Transcendent State Martial artist, he would not dare to mess with a Grandmaster. Not all grandmasters' powers were equal, and some could be much deadlier than others.

Despite discrediting his new evaluation of Chen Fan's power, he didn't let his guard down.

He quickly stopped the Dharmic Seal and pulled out a sharp blade from behind his back. This blade was only ten centimeters or so in length. It was made out of black unknown material and looked primitive in craftsmanship. On its sharp glinting edges were mysterious inscriptions painted with red pigment. It emanated a primordial power that was ancient and dangerous. The handle of the blade was made out of some kind of horn and was carved into the shape of a snarling beast. Nin Tianchen brought the blade to his chest, charged up energy and slashed in the air.

”Sthla!”

The slash seemed to have sliced open the very fabric of space. Sending a gust of wind down the Void Dimension. Suddenly, a sharp Blade Qi shot out from the tip of the blade and tore open the thick carpet on the ground. The tear extended from under Nin Tianchen all the way toward Chen Fan, looking like an ugly scar.

”Blade of the Spring Immortal! The LIttle Perfected Cultivator is going all out.”

Some bystanders who had recognized the technique exclaimed.

The Blade of the Spring Immortal used to be Zhou Daoji's Dharma Artifact before he became a master. Rumor had it that he had used it to slice a car into half. After he had become a Perfected Cultivator, he had never used the Dharma Artifact ever again. Little did people know that he had given the Dharma Artifact to his youngest disciple, Nin Tianchen.

Legend had it that this blade used to belong to the Ancient Witch Sect. It was their ceremonial blade during the offering ceremony to the Spring Immortal. Once used by a powerful Dharma Spells user, it could unleash as much power as a Grandmaster. It would also allow a spell caster to project their Internal energy outward.

However, in Chen Fan's eyes, this seemingly deadly Blade Qi was very different in nature with the Energy of Four True Righteousness unleashed by Grandmasters. The Grandmasters used only the True Qi stored in their system that had been refined to perfection. However, this Blade Qi seemed to come from the Essence Qi in the environment.

The power of the Blade Qi was a far cry compared to the Azure Wood Qi Blade.

”Humph!!”

Chen Fan snorted and shot out a hand. He closed his fingers and snatched the deadly Blade Qi with a bare hand.

”Kacha!”

The powerful Blade Qi that could slice open a piece of steel was shattered in Chen Fan's hands into countless small pieces. These dust-sized particles were blown away by the shock wave that came after the impact. The ground trembled and cracked open.

”Shit!”

Nin Tianchen's face paled. He had tested the power of Blade of the Spring Immortal on a huge tree and the Blade Qi went through the wide tree trunk as if going through butter. He was convinced that not even a Grandmaster was able to stop the Blade of the Spring Immortal with their bare hands. However, Chen Fan had first broken free from the Dragon Taming Rope and then shattered the Blade of the Spring Immortal. Although Nin Tianchen couldn't tell Chen Fan's exact level of attainment, he was extremely impressed by Chen Fan's unimaginable physical strength.

”Is this guy an S level Extraordinary One what had exemplary physique? Or is he a practitioner of ancient Yoga? Or is he a Grandmaster in Physique Refinement?” Many questions rose in Nin Tianchen's mind. Even as he contemplated the answer, he sent out more Blade Qi energy. Meanwhile, he stomped the ground and grumbled.

A piece of ornamental jewelry made out of bone that hung from his waist suddenly exploded.

A ball of fire appeared in the sky and attached itself on the invisible Blade Qi. This flame was green in color and looked like the ghost lights that one could find in cemeteries. Green lights run down from the wall and the window, painting everything in the hall with an eerie green. Suddenly, three flaming Blade Qi appeared in the air and attacked Chen Fan from three different directions.

This time, Nin Tianchen no longer held back his power and attacked with all he had. He had been cautious in his last attack since he didn't want to hurt Zheng Anqi. Despite him confessing his affection for Zheng Anqi, he loved himself the most. He couldn't allow a girl to slow him down when his life was hanging on by a thread.

”Cursed Ghost Light?”

Mr. Shi's face suddenly darkened.

He had heard rumors that when Zhou Daoji obtained the Blade of the Spring Immortal, he had also gained access to some of the ancient Witch Sect's secrets.

The modern Dark Witch Sect, Blood Witch Sect, and the Ghost Witch Sect could all trace their lineage to the Ancient Witch Sect. The Witch Sect excelled at the art of Insect controlling, Ghost Reigning, and killing people using curses. Although the ball of green flame looked benign, it was infused with vicious and deadly curses. Once it came to contact with a mortal, it would continue to burn, eating away the flesh until there was nothing left.
