Chapter 48

Xiao Ran had long known he would encounter Wei Wuya, and on the journey, he had fully activated the Phoenix Eye, so he had already discovered that Wei Wuya was hiding nearby!

He was well-prepared for this attack. With a flip of his palm, the palm wind roared like thunder, and he launched the move "Dragon Appears in the Field" to meet the attack!

But to everyone's surprise, Wei Wuya's body suddenly coiled in mid-air, dodging Xiao Ran's palm wind. His foot, like a large spear, stabbed towards Xiao Ran's dantian!

No one could have imagined that Wei Wuya's attack, which seemed as heavy as Mount Tai, was actually a feint, and he could control it so freely!

But Xiao Ran seemed to have anticipated this. He changed his palm to a claw and grabbed at Wei Wuya's ankle.

It was as if Wei Wuya's foot was colliding with Xiao Ran's hand claw.

As Xiao Ran's understanding of the Nine Swords of Dugu deepened, the Nine Swords of Dugu in his hands were no longer limited to sword techniques. Every palm or fist move he made contained the essence of the Nine Swords of Dugu!

Wei Wuya retracted his foot, did a backflip, and landed on the ground headfirst. His hand flicked, and his feet shot forward, crossing like scissors to cut towards Xiao Ran's calves!

Xiao Ran had no doubt that if Wei Wuya's scissors hit him, he would lose his legs!

Xiao Ran was still unfamiliar with this kind of attack, but he believed that Wei Wuya, using his hands as support, could not outmaneuver him in agility!

"Then let's compare agility!"

The Evil-Repelling Body Technique was pushed to its limit, and Xiao Ran's figure instantly turned into a blur, flashing to Wei Wuya's side. His foot, like a blade, slashed towards Wei Wuya's throat, emitting a sharp whistling sound, appearing slow but moving at an extreme speed!

Xiao Ran had obtained the secret techniques of the Five Greats from the underground palace, and one of the Five Greats was an expert in leg techniques.

This move "Yin-Yang Foot Blade" was his famous technique.

Wei Wuya felt a chill at his throat, and a series of goosebumps appeared, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp blade!

His heart almost stopped beating, and the feeling that he might die at any moment enveloped him, just like when he faced the Palace Master of Yi Hua Palace!

But Wei Wuya, in this moment, his neck bent like it had no bones, and his head dodged Xiao Ran's foot blade as if it had been broken.

His body rolled with the momentum and then bounced far away, landing on a tree branch, swaying with the branch.

Only then did Xiao Ran see Wei Wuya's appearance. He was disabled, a dwarf by birth, and his appearance was quite strange, even grotesque. But Xiao Ran had seen countless monsters in games and movies on Earth!

Compared to them, Wei Wuya looked relatively normal, so Xiao Ran's expression did not change at all!

However, Wei Wuya's martial arts were unexpectedly high. Although Xiao Ran had not used his best sword techniques, he had used his full strength, yet he could not defeat him!

Although Wei Wuya was at a higher realm, Xiao Ran had the advantage of accumulating experience from several worlds. Those who could stand at the peak in each world were indeed not easy to deal with!

Xiao Ran frowned. No wonder Xiaoyu said that Wei Wuya's attacks were both cunning and ruthless; this evaluation was quite accurate!

Targeting Xiao Ran's lower body, Wei Wuya turned his physical disadvantage into an advantage!

To reach such a level of martial arts with such a body and have such sharp combat intuition, he was definitely a genius in the martial arts!

Wei Wuya was surprised to see someone who was not scared by his appearance, and he was momentarily stunned. Then he became furious and said, "Xiao Ran, you won't take her away!"

Wei Wuya had always liked the Palace Master of Yi Hua Palace and had even proposed to her, but he was severely beaten.

After escaping from the Palace Master of Yi Hua Palace, he began to seclude himself and practice martial arts, believing he could surpass her. But suddenly, Xiao Ran appeared and forced him to fight for his life again!

If it were up to his nature, he would have run away if he couldn't win!

But this time, he would not retreat.

Because of Su Yan!

Su Yan was cultivated according to the template of the Palace Master of Yi Hua Palace and was his mental pillar. If Xiao Ran took Su Yan away, it would be more painful than killing him!

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I understand your feelings, but I won't agree with your actions!

You can try, but I will definitely take Su Yan away. A girl like her should not exist in this world as a substitute for your fantasies!"

Wei Wuya's green eyes flashed with疯狂的怒意, and he leaped from the tree branch, pouncing on Xiao Ran with his fingers clawing at him!

His attack was extremely cunning, with countless follow-up moves, like the tip of an iceberg!

Most martial artists would be doomed if they encountered this attack, but Xiao Ran calmly pointed out a finger.

The One Yang Finger, which breaks through with a single point!

At that moment, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Wei Wuya's eyes, though it quickly disappeared. Xiao Ran sensed something was wrong. Indeed, Wei Wuya changed his claw to a finger and pointed out a finger, shooting a two-foot-long green sword qi from his fingertip!

This was a sword qi that had left his body, a sword qi that had become a powerful force!

Wei Wuya had already reached the fourth level of Qi Cultivation!

Clearly, Wei Wuya had also obtained a copy of the martial arts essentials that Xiao Ran had!

Xiao Ran did not expect to face the backlash from the world he had upgraded so soon, but fortunately, he was prepared!

He used the finger as a sword and unleashed a move to break the momentum!

Xiao Ran could see that Wei Wuya had just broken through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, and his sword qi was not stable. His control over the powerful force was also insufficient, and the Phoenix Eye instantly found the weakness!

...

A series of explosions echoed in the air, and a fierce wind swept through. Wei Wuya's sword qi was shattered by Xiao Ran!

Wei Wuya's attack was ineffective, but a smile appeared on his face. He said to Xiao Ran, "I thought you were a hidden great expert, at least at the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, but your attack just exposed your true level!

Who would have thought that the great Master Xiao, who spread the teachings, is only at the first level of Qi Cultivation.

Such a fraud, daring to act arrogantly in front of me, I will peel your skin to make a lantern...

Rest assured, before I kill you, I will extract all the martial arts you know!

Like Yan Nan Tian and the Palace Master of Yi Hua Palace, they can only lick my toes on the ground!"

Xiao Ran used the Nine Yin Manual's healing section to treat the hidden injuries on his hand caused by the sword qi.

Fortunately, he was wearing crystal silk gloves, or his fingers would have been shredded by the sword qi!

Hearing Wei Wuya's arrogant words, Xiao Ran laughed, "Although you have reached the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, your foundation is weak, and your body cannot withstand such powerful force output many times!

Your control is far too poor; otherwise, you could have seriously injured me with that attack!

You have no idea how far the gap is between someone who has taken a wrong path in Qi Cultivation and a martial artist with a solid foundation like me!

And I stand on the shoulders of giants!

Prepare to die!"

With that, Xiao Ran drew a half-circle and launched the move "Dragon Regrets," the palm force shaking the air with a thunderous boom!

The air distorted, and the surroundings rippled!

Wei Wuya smiled sinisterly and also launched a palm, a white palm print striking towards Xiao Ran!

Xiao Ran did not dodge, and with a loud shout, he shattered Wei Wuya's palm print, like breaking an egg, and continued to strike towards Wei Wuya's chest.

Wei Wuya's face changed dramatically, not expecting Xiao Ran's palm force to be so powerful, even shattering his powerful force palm print!

He had tested the power of the powerful force palm print, which could easily crush mountains and stones like tofu!

Xiao Ran's palm was extremely powerful, covering his entire body. If he retreated, Xiao Ran's momentum would only grow, making it difficult to handle!

So he met the attack with a claw, his fingers extending into green, sharp claws!

Boom...

This was the first time they had clashed head-on!

"Such strength, the power of the third level of Body Cultivation, the strength of an elephant, is indeed not exaggerated..."

Wei Wuya's face changed dramatically as his powerful force claws were shattered by Xiao Ran, and he was forced to take a step back.

Xiao Ran, not letting up, launched eighteen consecutive palms, and Wei Wuya had no choice but to block all eighteen!

By the fifteenth palm, Wei Wuya could no longer use his powerful force. Xiao Ran had accurately gauged that Wei Wuya could not withstand such repeated powerful force output!

Wei Wuya retreated fifteen steps, his face extremely pale.

But Xiao Ran was fighting with extreme satisfaction, his true qi boiling, far exceeding his usual performance.

The boiling true qi surged through every acupoint and meridian in his body.

More importantly, he felt his Ren and Du meridians pulsating with the vibration of the true qi, as if they were performing a beautiful dance together!

By the eighteenth palm, Xiao Ran's body trembled, and he felt his Ren and Du meridians pulsating wildly, like a heart after a ten-thousand-meter run!

In this wild pulsation, all the acupoints in his Ren and Du meridians suddenly opened, like valves being turned on, and the small streams of true qi rushed in, merging into a river!

Then Xiao Ran launched the move "Dragon Battles in the Wilderness" towards Wei Wuya!

Wei Wuya's face turned ashen, for the power of this move was ten times greater than before!

He gritted his teeth, gathered all his powerful force, and formed a beast claw-like powerful force on his hand, clawing towards Xiao Ran!

Boom...

A thunderous explosion echoed in the valley, and Wei Wuya was thrown high into the air like a soccer ball kicked by a child, then landed heavily, his body twisted and motionless.

His bones were shattered by Xiao Ran's palm, and he was dead!

Xiao Ran was overjoyed, howling to the sky. He had finally connected his Ren and Du meridians, and all his true qi had merged into one!
