Chapter 340 - 135: Killing Ghost Moon and Seizing the High-Grade Profound Weapon "Five Elements Cauldron
He sat down cross-legged, took a crimson, flame-like Elixir from his robes, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Once the Fire Flame Pill was in his stomach, a wave of scorching medicinal power dissolved, rapidly dispersing the Extreme Cold Qi within his body.
His expression eased, and a bit of color returned to his face.
But that cold, deathly silent Yellow Springs Death Qi clung to him like a maggot on a rotting bone.
The Fire Flame Pill’s medicinal power had no effect on it. Instead, by forcefully circulating his energy, he only made the Death Qi spread even faster!
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Chu Fan showed no mercy, firing three arrows with a single raise of his hand!
The three arrows tore through the air and slammed viciously against the spinning Black Cauldron—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A deafening crash erupted, sending sparks flying everywhere!
The Black Cauldron trembled slightly, its glowing halo flickering.
’Profound Soldier Power... to think it’s this formidable!’
Chu Fan was shaken but not in a hurry.
After breaking through to the Second Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm, the Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand he channeled with his full power was far more than just a notch stronger than before.
Even if Ghost Moon had temporarily dispelled the Extreme Cold Qi, he could never get rid of that Yellow Springs Death Qi!
Right now, Ghost Moon was just relying on his Profound Weapon to turtle up and desperately cling to life.
He was already injured, then wounded by the Soul-Splitting Arrow, and now, with the Yellow Springs Death Qi corroding him, he definitely wouldn’t last much longer!
Chu Fan casually flicked his left hand, his sleeve stirring up a gentle breeze.
The Silent Extinction Quicksand Technique began to circulate silently, a faint glow flickering at his fingertips.
The surrounding sand, stones, and dust were suddenly enveloped by an invisible force. As if drawn in by a storm, they rained down on Ghost Moon inside his Tripod Array!
RAT-A-TAT-TAT!
The sand and stones pelted the walls of the cauldrons, creating a continuous, dense patter.
Although it couldn’t break through his defense, it completely shattered Ghost Moon’s concentration and blocked his vision.
Seizing this opportunity, Chu Fan gave a slight flick of his fingertips.
The gourd hanging at his waist swayed gently. The refined Poisonous Sand inside silently mixed with the ordinary sand and stones, scattering around the cross-legged Ghost Moon without a trace.
Then, Chu Fan’s voice, cold and dripping with sarcasm, called out, "So, the great disciple of the Divine Sacrifice Envoy only knows how to hide in an iron shell like a cowardly turtle?"
"You little bastard! You’re courting death!"
Ghost Moon, already agitated by the excruciating pain of his injuries, was provoked by these words. His eyes instantly turned crimson, and rage surged through him, nearly making him lose his mind.
He let out a furious roar and, ignoring his worsening internal injuries, forcefully activated the four great cauldrons.
The Tripod Array’s defense dispersed. Like four small mountains, the cauldrons rumbled as they smashed toward Chu Fan once more!
’To think the one bringing disaster to Cyan Yang Ancient City is such an idiot...’
Chu Fan sneered inwardly—this aggressive attack was exactly what he wanted!
The instant the four cauldrons came smashing down, the five fingers of Chu Fan’s left hand, hidden in his sleeve, moved covertly, pushing the Silent Extinction Quicksand Technique to its absolute limit!
WHOOSH—!
A gale rose again!
The poisoned sand and stones previously scattered beside Ghost Moon suddenly rose into the air as if alive, forming a deadly sandstorm that enveloped him. He had been so focused on controlling the cauldrons that he had neglected his own defense!
Ghost Moon instinctively raised an arm to shield his face, his mind filled with disdain. ’This pathetic trick can’t even break through my Protective Primordial Qi, yet you think you can hurt me? Wishful thinking!’
He merely assumed it was a ploy by Chu Fan to interfere with his control of the treasure.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
A few grains of Poisonous Sand, as fine as ox hair, took advantage of the opening as he raised his arm and struck him precisely on the wound on his chin—the very same one from where Chu Fan’s palm strike had shattered it earlier!
An indescribable, searing pain instantly exploded from the wound and spread throughout his meridians!
"Ah!" Ghost Moon cried out, both shocked and enraged. Only then did he realize there was something strange about the dust and sand!
He panicked, and his control over the four cauldrons faltered.
Chu Fan’s figure moved like the wind, and he effortlessly dodged the four cauldrons’ attack.
In just a few breaths’ time—
THUD!
Ghost Moon was already a spent force. Now, the Yellow Springs Death Qi and the fresh poison erupted inside him simultaneously.
His meridians felt as if they were being torn apart inch by inch, and his Primordial Qi dissipated in an instant. Unable to hold on any longer, he fell face-first to the ground!
Having lost their source of power, the four black cauldrons lost their brilliance. With several loud CLANGS, they crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Only then did Ghost Moon realize with alarm what had happened—
Not only had the Yellow Springs Death Qi corroded him to within an inch of his life, but he had also been hit by a vicious poison!
He struggled to pull an Antitoxic Pill from his robes, but his hand trembled uncontrollably.
Would Chu Fan give him that chance?
SWISH!
A Black Kite Arrow shot through the air. It wasn’t aimed at his head but precisely struck the right wrist he was using to retrieve the pill!
CRACK!
The sound of his wrist bone shattering was clearly audible!
Ghost Moon let out a wretched scream. The Antitoxic Pill he had just retrieved flew from his grasp and rolled out of sight.
The immense force of the arrow sent his entire body flying backward. He crashed through a dilapidated stone house, which collapsed and buried him in its rubble.
Chu Fan’s eyes were icy cold as he took a few steps forward.
The tip of the Black Kite Arrow shifted slightly, firmly locking onto the figure within the ruins!
BOOM!
The rubble suddenly exploded outward. Ghost Moon, covered in blood and with a savage expression, struggled back to his feet.
The poison had sunk deep, and the Yellow Springs Death Qi had almost completely exhausted his life force. He couldn’t even stand steadily, his body swaying uncontrollably.
"I can’t accept this... I can’t accept this!"
Ghost Moon glared at Chu Fan, his eyes filled with venomous hatred and despair.
He had schemed for so long, even coordinating with Zhang Yunpeng’s plan, all just to find that "key."
He never expected that not only would he fail to find the "key," but he would fall at the hands of some wet-behind-the-ears brat!
He grit his teeth fiercely, gathered the last of his strength, and tried to activate the Five Elements Cauldron once more!
VMM! VMM! VMM!
The four black cauldrons trembled slightly and slowly began to float.
But in the next instant— 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
SWOOSH!
The Black Kite Arrow shot out, streaking with a dark light like a Lunar Eclipse. It pierced straight through Ghost Moon’s neck, pinning him to the broken wall behind him!
CRASH!
The four black cauldrons fell to the ground, making a heavy thud as they rolled far into the distance.
The nearby streets fell into a dead silence.
Both inside and outside the Grand Array, the various spies watching the battle from high vantage points could now only hear the sound of their own heartbeats and breathing...
