Chapter 174 Exterminating Zuo Wenbin

Although Chu Yunfan was not a professional poison master, he was able to determine a poison’s power based on the knowledge he had gained from the Alchemy Emperor’s memories.

Zuo Wenbin was pretending that he had lost the ability to move to ambush Chu Yunfan. But it was impossible for Chu Yunfan to fall for such a trick. Instead, Chu Yunfan immediately realized the situation and stalled for time to allow the poison in Zuo Wenbin’s body to deepen.

The two of them schemed against each other. The fight had begun long before they even made their move. Chu Yunfan could not help but sigh at Zuo Wenbin’s shrewdness. Even while being ambushed, Zuo Wenbin was still able to calmly think of a countermeasure. Chu Yunfan was able to gain the upper hand in this psychological battle purely because he knew the outcome beforehand. Zuo Wenbin’s plan was destined to fail.

However, Chu Yunfan did not have the time to think about this at this moment, because Zuo Wenbin had pounced on him.

Quick!

Quick!

Quick!

His movements were no longer in peak condition. On top of that, Zuo Wenbin had been delayed by Chu Yunfan for some time/ The effect of the powder had already seeped deep into his body and affected the agility of his movements. Chu Yunfan, who had fought with him before, knew this clearly. Even so, Zuo Wenbin’s movements were still extremely fast.

A blade light swept toward Chu Yunfan! Fortunately, Chu Yunfan’s reaction was not slow. With a clang, he unsheathed his Shadowless Saber. His saber tore through the sky and instantly slashed toward the blade light that was sweeping toward him.

Clang!

The sound of collision rang out. The sharp and powerful sabers collided.

Chu Yunfan swayed slightly before he steadied himself. Opposite him, Zuo Wenbin too swayed slightly before he managed to steady himself. The two of them were on par. Zuo Wenbin was shocked. He could barely conceal the look of shock in his eyes. It was true that he had been poisoned, and thus was not at full strength. But no matter what, he should not have performed so poorly. He could feel that Chu Yunfan was much stronger than just two weeks ago. Chu Yunfan was not just one level higher, but at least two. One could imagine how shocked he was at this moment.

However, he did not have time to contemplate this. Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi also moved quickly. They were killing the mercenaries who had lost the ability to resist. It would not take them long, and there was not much time left for him. He might survive if he broke out of the encirclement now. Once he was surrounded by the three of them, the chances of him escaping would be low. Thinking of this, he looked at Chu Yunfan again with terrifying killing intent in his eyes.

Slash!

He held his saber with both his hands and attacked again. The saber was fast, accurate, and ruthless as it swept toward Chu Yunfan’s face.

“Great! Come on then!”

Chu Yunfan did not retreat but instead advanced. He was not shocked but happy. This kind of battle was very beneficial to him.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The saber of both sides collided in mid-air. Sparks flew in all directions. The sparks on the weapons were mesmerizing, but they also represented life and death. Just the slightest difference meant death.

The attacks from both sides became faster and faster. The more they fought, the more anxious they became. Zuo Wenbin was fighting desperately for a chance to survive, but Chu Yunfan was not lacking either. No matter which direction Zuo Wenbin went to try to break out of the encirclement, he would be blocked.

As Zuo Wenbin’s physical strength and reaction speed declined, both sides were competing based on battle experience and techniques.

In terms of battle techniques, Chu Yunfan could be said to be perfect. The two types of speed were different. He displayed two different blade techniques without the slightest bit of delay.

However, in terms of combat experience, although Chu Yunfan had experienced a lot recently, he was inferior compared to Zuo Wenbin who had fought many life-and-death battles.

Therefore, in the beginning, Chu Yunfan was still at a disadvantage. However, what made Zuo Wenbin even more fearful was the speed at which Chu Yunfan absorbed combat experience. It was frighteningly fast. Chu Yunfan did not have many flaws to begin with. After being taken care of by Zuo Wenbin during the battle, he quickly corrected himself. Zuo Wenbin had never seen anyone who could continuously improve his tactics while fighting. It was almost as if he instantly noticed a flaw and quickly corrected it. The battle was becoming harder and harder, making Chu Yunfan even more difficult to deal with.

Slowly, the two sides became evenly matched. Chu Yunfan began to gain the upper hand and crushed down on Zuo Wenbin.

As time passed, Zuo Wenbin’s intense movements caused the medicinal effects in his body to flow throughout his entire body along with his blood, and his strength decreased even further. It was getting very difficult for him to defend against Chu Yunfan’s attacks.

At this moment, Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi were finished taking care of the mercenaries and surrounded the fighting duo. This made Zuo Wenbin even more desperate. Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Zuo Wenbin went even crazier. He dashed crazily at Chu Yunfan like a cornered beast. However, no matter how crazy he was, Chu Yunfan remained calm and kept him under a thumb.

Gao Hongzhi wanted to go up and help but was stopped by Tang Siyu. “Let him do this alone. This is a rare opportunity for him. Not everyone can fight against an Acquired Stage expert with Qi Sea Stage cultivation,” Tang Siyu said. She knew what Chu Yunfan was thinking at this moment.

For him, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Chu Yunfan also felt that his condition was unprecedentedly good although he was facing an Acquired Stage expert. Forced into such a desperate situation, he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

He felt his absorption rate of combat experience shoot up. Zuo Wenbin, who was forced into a corner, was using every method he knew of. It was an eye-opener for Chu Yunfan.

“You are using me to train yourself!” Zuo Wenbin roared.

He finally understood why Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi were not making a move and why only Chu Yunfan was dealing with him. This kid was clearly treating him as a stepping

stone.

“So what if I am?” Chu Yunfan said indifferently. Zuo Wenbin was furious. Suddenly, he roared and gathered all his strength in his arms. Then, he slashed down at Chu Yunfan. This was his last trump card. He had hidden it until now. “You’re only bringing out your trump card now? Unfortunately, it’s too late. Flow Cut!”

Chu Yunfan let out a roar and moved even faster. Instantly, all the strength in his body was sucked out as he performed this move.

Clang!

Slash!

The Shadowless Saber chopped down at Zuo Wenbin’s neck. Fresh blood instantly spurted out.

Zuo Wenbin widened his eyes as if he could not believe it, but his body struggled for just a moment before falling to the ground.
