Chapter 842 447: Evenly Matched Opponents—What Fun! Nonsense!
However, his skin was not entirely exposed; at the critical moment, the Breaking Body Sword Energy had already emerged to protect him.
But ultimately, in the rush, the Breaking Body Sword Energy only halted the poison needle for a moment before it continued to penetrate, piercing Duan Yun's skin.
Almost simultaneously, the more violent Sword Qi and True Qi within Duan Yun surged out, preventing the poison needle from going further.
Yet the resurrected "Young Master Wang" clearly was a master of sequential and extremely sinister tricks. As Duan Yun's True Qi blocked the poison needle for an instant, he straightened up, striking a palm in mid-air.
This palm strike was equally cunning, with the Palm Wind spreading in three directions, then contracting like a living creature, precisely targeting those poison needles.
He intended to drive the poison needle deeper into Duan Yun's flesh!
One could only say that among experts, a moment's hesitation leads to a total disadvantage.
Duan Yun, taken by surprise, found himself in a passive position.
Duan Yun had experienced ambushes before, or rather, he had been ambushed too many times.
But he could confidently say that none of the previous ambushes were as perilous as this moment.
Seeing his palm strike succeed, "Young Master Wang" couldn't help but laugh, revealing crimson gums.
This poison needle was called "Immortal Kneeling" — once it entered the body, even if the Old Demon Duan had unparalleled skills, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.
But in the next moment, "Young Master Wang" wore a surprised expression.
After his Palm Wind struck the poison needle, it hadn't penetrated much deeper.
This wasn't because Duan Yun's Breaking Body Sword Energy and True Qi were too strong. In such haste, the Sword Qi and True Qi couldn't be stronger than the opponent's stored strength; Duan Yun managed to stop the poison needle thanks to his body posture.
In "Young Master Wang's" eyes, as the poison needle continued to penetrate, Duan Yun's body fluttered like a piece of paper.
That was because he had incorporated "Spring Rain Strength" into his body.
Duan Yun's body had long adapted to the rotation of Spring Rain, every inch of flesh and blood included.
Moreover, he had already discovered that this rotation could not only emit Spring Rain Blade Energy, but if used properly, it could also create a peculiar elasticity.
This elasticity allowed him to flutter like paper and avoid the poison needle going deeper.
Seeing this scene, "Young Master Wang's" surprised expression turned to delight, shouting, "Old Demon Duan, well played!"
With that, his figure bounced backward, crashing through the wall with a bang.
"Trying to run after the ambush?"
Duan Yun gathered his True Qi, and the moment the poison needle rebounded, his body chased after "Young Master Wang's" route.
But he immediately discovered that the hole in the wall was quite strange.
The "Young Master Wang" weighed at least one hundred and fifty pounds, yet the hole in the wall was no larger than a bowl's mouth; how much had he shrunk his bones?
Duan Yun also knew basic Bone Shrinking Skills, but couldn't shrink to that extent, so with another bang, he expanded the "bowl mouth" to a "small basin mouth" and chased after him.
Feng Ling'er, seeing this, followed closely behind.
As a result, another bang expanded the "small basin mouth" into a "large basin mouth."
This wasn't Feng Ling'er's fault; Feng Ling'er had something to say too — what's your chest measurement and what's mine, how can we compare?
Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue, brandishing their blades, also rushed out.
In the moment he burst through the wall, Duan Yun locked onto Rat Phase's position and swept with a sword!
This was a standard "Water Moon Slash," the first sword move Duan Yun had mastered.
This sword move wasn't the most exquisite but had long been integrated into Duan Yun's bodily instincts, triggered in an instant.
The Sword Qi like the water moon swept forward, blocking Rat Phase's path, even splitting the fallen leaves on the ground in half.
At this moment, Rat Phase's footing sank, and his whole body descended.
Duan Yun slid forward, pursuing, his body also sinking.
There was a hole beneath the fallen leaves.
This must have been dug in advance by Rat Phase.
It could be said that since they entered the Wang Family Manor, they had stepped into Rat Phase's trap.
The deadly ambush disguised as Wei Wuxing's fake death would have likely killed even a grandmaster of a large sect. That Duan Yun survived and could pursue was precisely because he wasn't an ordinary grandmaster.
In the hole below, there must be more of Wei Wuxing's traps, filled with danger, but Duan Yun didn't pause, continuing the chase downward.
"Hahaha, this is a cave, Old Demon Duan, how do you expect to contend with me!"
As he entered the cave, Duan Yun suddenly detected a strong earthy scent.
"Earth Wood Stake!"
Without any hesitation, Duan Yun horizontally swung the Huangshan Golden Sword forward.
Almost simultaneously, two muffled explosions were heard, and two sections of dead wood emerged from both sides, moving to clamp and collided with the Huangshan Golden Sword.
Duan Yun's momentum was momentarily halted, and below the cave, Rat Phase Wei Wuxing launched another assault.
He suddenly thrust his ten fingers forward, piercing through the skin, revealing a long section.
It turned out that even his fingers had been disguised.
One could only say his skill in disguise and faking death was superb. It should be noted that Feng Ling'er was already a master of disguise, and even when she followed in, she hadn't noticed any flaws.
These ten fingers were considerably longer than those of an average person, resembling ten chopsticks, emanating a faint glow.
This was something Wei Wuxing had discovered during tomb raiding.
Several years ago, he entered a strange and dangerous tomb, called the Zhang Family Ancient Building. While it contained little treasure, he found something far more valuable to him.
That was the corpses inside the Zhang Family Ancient Building.
From the moment he entered the Zhang Family Ancient Building, Rat Phase Wei Wuxing sensed it was a companion's tomb, and the Zhang Family people buried inside were truly peculiar.
