Ch 224: Three Demon Slaying Fingers
Previously, when Hong Tiandu came to Divine Palace Jianghu to challenge, Li Hanzhou was still wandering outside, so he did not participate and naturally had not met Hong Tiandu.
But judging from the current situation of the two sparring, Li Hanzhou saw that Hong Tiandu was using the Seventy-Two Paths of Demon Slaying Hand, and naturally guessed that a Transcendent Realm disciple using this Cultivation Method and possessing such strong strength should be Hong Tiandu of the Great Zhou Wuji Palace.
Li Hanzhou had also heard before that this Hong Tiandu, like his Master Hong Ruhai, was a martial arts fanatic.
When he was at the Ninth Rank Realm, he almost overturned the entire Divine Palace Jianghu, causing the disciples below the Transcendent Realm in Divine Palace Jianghu to cry and wail; very few people could last three moves against him. Later, if it hadn’t been for a lucky coincidence that Shi Ming defeated him, Divine Palace Jianghu would have lost face.
Now, having just reached the Transcendent Realm, he has come to Divine Palace again and even targeted veteran disciples!
Immortal of Unfeeling Song Yitao.
Is indeed a worthwhile challenge.
Li Hanzhou also watched with great interest from the sidelines.
Song Yitao comes from the Valley of Unfeeling, and her talent naturally needs no further mention. The Valley of Unfeeling’s 《Song of Forgetting Emotions》 is indeed top-tier martial arts. At this moment, Song Yitao’s performance makes this Jianghu’s number one beauty appear even more cold and stern.
“This Hong Tiandu is so strong! He just reached the Transcendent Realm, yet he can fight evenly with the Immortal of Unfeeling!”
“Is he even human? His Internal Force is so profound; even from this distance, I can feel the pressure emanating from Hong Tiandu!”
“His every breath is like the collapse of mountains and seas. Are the Internal Cultivation Methods of their Wuji Palace so powerful?”
Many martial artists around were discussing animatedly.
Many Transcendent Realm Experts from other Sects were present, but after witnessing the two’s exchange, they were somewhat disheartened.
They were both at the Transcendent Realm, yet why was there such a huge gap between them and this person?
“The Immortal of Unfeeling is also very strong. Although she is a mere woman, her strength is truly not inferior to most Heavenly Prides!”
Many people below had begun to cheer for Song Yitao.
At this moment, Song Yitao displayed superb Movement Techniques. Under the enhancement of the 《Song of Forgetting Emotions》, Song Yitao seemed to have severed her Seven Emotions and Six Desires. Her Spiritual Power-imbued palms each condensed a formidable power; her True Qi seemed to contain the Ice and Snow True Meaning, and she was evenly matched against the Seventy-Two Paths of Demon Slaying Hand.
The two fought for a full hundred rounds, yet neither had gained the upper hand.
Others were shouting, each and every one displaying excited expressions.
They believed Song Yitao could definitely defeat Hong Tiandu.
But Li Hanzhou, standing on the rooftop, watched the battle from afar. Li Hanzhou could see that Song Yitao’s strength was indeed excellent; she fought steadily, and could be called a top performer among the younger generation.
However, Hong Tiandu was far from using his full strength!
He still held back.
Bang bang bang!
Several Seal clashes caused both Hong Tiandu and Song Yitao to retreat.
Song Yitao was wearing silk gloves. She landed gracefully on the rooftop, her gaze cold. After the exchange of several palms, Song Yitao’s face turned slightly red, and her True Qi became somewhat unstable.
Song Yitao clearly felt that Hong Tiandu’s palm force was heavier than when they first engaged.
“What excellent Palm Technique.”
Hong Tiandu chuckled, then looked down at his hand. A thick layer of Frost had already appeared on his palm.
But Hong Tiandu did not care at all. Stars twinkled around him. As soon as his True Qi erupted, the Frost shattered instantly, and he was completely unaffected.
“Immortal of Unfeeling, as the number one beauty of Divine Palace, I believe only you are worthy of my status. Therefore, you should give my proposal some serious thought: become my woman, and together, as husband and wife, we will sweep across Divine Palace Jianghu!”
Hong Tiandu said with a smile.
Song Yitao frowned: “Is it because I haven’t slapped your face? So much nonsense!”
“She has personality, I like that.”
“I like conquering women like this.”
Hong Tiandu licked his lips.
“You’re asking for death!”
Seemingly provoked by Hong Tiandu, a flash of anger crossed Song Yitao’s face. She immediately attacked, her figure moving, and transforming into three illusory images in mid-air!
With one palm strike, even the Air seemed to freeze.
“That’s the Valley of Unfeeling’s Thousand Parts Spirit Void Palm!”
“The Immortal of Unfeeling is angry.”
Yet, Hong Tiandu remained unmoved in the face of such a powerful Palm Wind.
Faced with the Thousand Parts Spirit Void Palm, Hong Tiandu sneered. His True Qi surged like a volcanic eruption. At this moment, his movements were incredibly fast, his Demon Slaying Hand so swift that it was almost invisible to the eye!
Swish swish swish!
His hands formed claws, instantly breaking through Song Yitao’s Thousand Parts Spirit Void Palm, and his hand had already grasped Song Yitao’s shoulder!
With a violent grab.
Song Yitao’s face instantly turned pale. One of her arm bones had been broken by Hong Tiandu!
“Three Finger Demon Slaying!”
Hong Tiandu’s voice was like a demon’s whisper.
Hong Tiandu suddenly pointed a finger, aiming directly at Song Yitao’s abdomen!
That was the location of her Dantian.
This finger strike was incredibly powerful. If she was hit, her Dantian would be instantly shattered.
Only now did Song Yitao realize that Hong Tiandu’s earlier teasing was all a pretense; he intended to cripple her!
He intended to cripple the talented disciples of Divine Palace Jianghu.
The Three Finger Demon Slaying was one of the more brutal moves in the Seventy-Two Paths of Demon Slaying Hand. One finger to the abdomen, one to the throat, and one to the forehead, enough to reduce a person to a complete cripple!
Puff!
The finger force tore through the air!
Song Yitao tried to retreat and evade the finger strike, but Hong Tiandu’s hand had already grasped her shoulder bone, rendering her unable to dodge.
Song Yitao closed her eyes in despair.
But at that moment, a calm voice came: “It’s just a sparring match; why be so ruthless?”
Hong Tiandu’s finger struck out!
It landed on a palm.
Boom!
He felt that when his True Qi came into contact with this palm, it was completely blocked.
But the Three Finger Demon Slaying had already been launched and couldn’t be retracted.
Hong Tiandu struck out two more fingers, aiming at the Approaching Person’s throat and forehead.
Yet they were completely blocked by the other party.
“Such a ruthless move.”
Li Hanzhou blocked all three of Hong Tiandu’s fingers.
No matter how powerful his three fingers were, they did not even scratch Li Hanzhou.
“Let go.”
Li Hanzhou grabbed Hong Tiandu’s wrist. Hong Tiandu immediately felt a bone-chilling chill permeate his body. The force compelled Hong Tiandu to release Song Yitao, and he quickly retreated.
He looked at the Approaching Person warily.
His heart was filled with shock.
Unable to discern their Cultivation Level.
An Expert!
Li Hanzhou ignored Hong Tiandu and turned to Song Yitao, asking, “Are you alright?”
“Thank you, Senior Li, Junior is fine.” Seeing that it was Li Hanzhou, Song Yitao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
