Chapter 108 The Power of Technology

"Zzzzt—!"

The arrow, released from its bow, trembled as it pierced the sky, emitting a clear yet continuous sound like a bird's song. Even on the entire battlefield, it seemed abrupt, forcing most people to divert their attention.

They merely glanced up, and seeing no movement for a while, they continued their fighting. Clearly, the whistling arrow was not a signal aimed at them, and no one even responded.

Fang Jin and his companion didn't hear the sound of the arrows at all. The intensity of their fight didn't allow for any distraction. If they were even slightly distracted, a piece of flesh would be torn off their body, causing great inconvenience to their movements.

[Body Mastery Lv1 upgrade, current level 20/20]

[Swordsmanship Mastery increased by 1 level, current level 20/20]

[Congratulations, player! You have learned the skill "Fighting Specialization" lv1. Current level: 20/20]

The gains from just one pure battle exceeded Fang Jin's original expectations. The suppression of Buddhism significantly limited his strength, but it also greatly enhanced Fang Jin's physical abilities.

However, these alone are not enough to determine the outcome of this battle. Hu Shan and Fang Jin are both well aware of this. Their fight has lasted for half an hour, a full half hour of exchanging wounds.

Their bodies were covered in deep, bone-revealing knife wounds and lacerations. Their true energy and strength had gradually reached a threshold, and the way they looked at each other was no longer as casual as it had been at the beginning.

Hu Shan was even starting to get impatient. He came to Snake Valley with the intention of crushing his opponent, but who would have thought that he would be entangled by an unknown kid and unable to break through his defenses? Of course, he was feeling frustrated.

"If I had known, I should have taken the second bottle of medicine from Hu Chuan first. If he had truly broken through the cultivation of fifty years, this junior would have died the moment we met."

Hu Shan frowned as he thought, his full beard trembling. At that moment, a second whistling arrow streaked across the sky, this time at a frequency he was truly familiar with. He immediately felt invigorated and charged forward!

"Heavy armor, whip!"

Hu Shan suddenly swung his right hand, and countless red armor plates on his body immediately detached, stacking together in his hand due to inertia to form a whip, which lashed out at Fang Jin above the cave!

Fang Jin raised his arm and tried to use the back of the blade to push the red whip away, but this time Hu Shan's true energy seemed to be disregarding costs. The heavy feeling from his arm made his feet sink suddenly!

Even when the whip's tail turned, it shaved off and blasted open the top of the cave! A little sunlight leaked into the cave opening, and the falling pebbles almost hit Cui Cui in the stone urn.

Fang Jin struggled to hold on, but the continuous, tsunami-like force caused him to vomit blood. Even Hu Shan's face turned pale, as the frantic consumption of his true energy made him feel unwell as well.

But his spirit grew even sharper, his eyes shining with a frightening intensity. As the remaining force of the crimson whip was exhausted, Hu Shan abruptly withdrew the whip, gathering his strength and roaring upwards:

"Quickly! Do it!"

Just as he was slightly unsteady, a chill ran up his spine and up to the top of his head. Then a flying dart suddenly flew out, the sound of iron spikes scraping against each other was grating and unpleasant, and the angle at which it was thrown was even more cunning and vicious!

It didn't fall in a straight line or a parabola, but rather from behind the grotto, it spun and curved straight at Fang Jin's head. By the time he realized what was happening, the blood droplet was already on his head. Even a god couldn't escape it!

"Click—!"

Fang Jin was no exception. With nowhere to escape, he swung the heavy kitchen knife he was holding in his mouth upwards! The knife got stuck in the spinning blade, sending metal shards flying! But it actually slowed down the spinning of the flying guillotine!

However, Fang Jin then discovered that the master controlling it did not attach his true energy to the blood droplet, but instead stuck it to the iron chain that came with it, causing it to rotate as the lead weight at the tail was pulled!

In the blink of an eye, Fang Jin was bound to the spot by dozens of iron chains. Even though it would only take him three or four seconds to break free of these restraints, this was already a huge opening in a battle between experts!

Hu Shan lunged forward, all the red talisman armor concentrated on his arms, while a woman wearing an iron mask jumped down from the top of the cave, holding an iron umbrella, and with a light turn, a sky full of hidden weapons appeared!

Heavenly Net, Iron Heart.

"Kid, why aren't you dead yet?!"

Hu Shan lunged forward with a sinister grin. The hurricane-like force of his fists could cut flesh. Tie Xin was even more vicious. Countless iron needles, hidden knives, and bone spikes were connected by transparent silk threads. She suddenly pulled them down and smashed them to the ground!

Xuanwu Guard was first shocked by the loud noise, and then witnessed this scene with horror and despair. The two elders joined forces to kill, and even resorted to the despicable tactic of sneak attack and attrition. No one thought Fang Jin could survive.

"..."

"Finally, they got it out of them..."

But he laughed, his body falling freely towards the hole Hu Shan had punched. Without hesitation, Tie Xin and Hu Shan gave chase.

They concluded that this was nothing more than a desperate struggle, and that such a poor escape made them believe that Fang Jin had no other options. They then headed towards the cave occupied by the Black Serpent Clan...

"bite."

A very crisp sound, so subtle that ordinary people would not even notice it, but to them it was like the death knell from hell, and the two of them almost instantly amplified their senses to the maximum.

But all they saw was a metal wire lying across the gap, which was silently torn apart by their reckless movements. The wire was stuck to the end of the ceiling of the cave, connecting two black spheres that had been embedded under the stone slabs at some unknown time.

...Those were two incendiary bombs.

"Bang—!"

The sphere exploded instantly, and a violent fire erupted inside! Tiny pieces of iron mixed with the scalding flames, engulfing the entire ceiling of the grotto in a boiling explosion and a sea of ​​fire!

The consumable item of the third-level spirituality is theoretically enough to blast a creature of the same level to the point of being reduced to nothing, but both of them are top experts among the elders, and they immediately activated their protective qi to the maximum!

The surging sea of ​​fire devoured his internal energy, the scalding temperature scorching his skin black, and shrapnel tore through his internal energy and pierced his organs! Hu Shan felt a wave of metallic sweetness spreading through his lungs!

"...But I'm still not dead!"

Hu Shan roared with a sinister smile. Even in the face of life and death, he felt that the medicine he had swallowed earlier was still exerting its residual effects, and the last few traces of damage to his body were repaired. Hu Shan could feel that he could break through at any time!

Tie Xin remained silent, her condition even better than Hu Shan's. She held the iron-boned umbrella horizontally in front of her, and although her hands were scalded to the bone by the heat, she was not in any life-threatening danger.

Hu Shan became even more smug. In his view, the Snake Valley hunt was over. With Fang Jin dead, all that was left were rotten fish and shrimp. After they were all killed, the Buddha's relics would be his for the taking...

Until he saw a few stars in the sea of ​​fire.
