We Have to Take Him Down!

We Have to Take Him Down!

Chao Bafang: "Great God, can we take this beast down?"

Yang Shan: "Even if we can't, we have to!"

What did a Five-Star Great Fighter with a Purple Word Seal represent? A Profound-rank Dou Technique!

Hundred Refinements Grade equipment! Though the drop rate was relatively low.

But what if it dropped? Wouldn't we soar to the heavens? We had to take him down!

Yang Shan: "Remember to take your pills before we move. You strike first—the target is that Great Fighter with the Green Word Seal."

What Chao Bafang provided Yang Shan was a "frontline meat shield," as well as a way to wear down part of the opponents' Vitality Shield.

While buying Yang Shan more time, he would also compress the opponents' room to retaliate as much as possible.

Without Chao Bafang, even Yang Shan would have some difficulty soloing this Purple Word Seal NPC!

Chao Bafang said firmly:

"Don't worry, Great God. I'll definitely hold the line!"

Yang Shan had come to the Azure Cloud Association Branch thoroughly prepared this time.

He had even spent a hefty sum to acquire two third-grade medicinal pills from Ya Fei.

Berserk Blood Pill

Grade: Third Grade

Effect: For five minutes, Attack +70, Speed +20, Defense -20, Qi and Blood -1,000.

Restriction: Below Dou Ling. After the effect ends, the user enters a five-day weakened state, with all attributes reduced by 30%.

After taking the Berserk Blood Pill, even Chao Bafang's attack could exceed two hundred points.

Yang Shan's attack was even higher than Cheng Yuan's, that Five-Star Great Fighter's!

If Yang Shan's favorability with Ya Fei had not been high enough, he would not have been able to buy this thing even if he had money.

A supreme treasure for turning the tables! In the original story, Xiao Yan had also used a special medicinal pill that greatly increased combat power for a short time when he was at Jia Nan Academy. It was called the "Dragon Strength Pill."

Even a Dou Wang expert could gain a noticeable boost in combat power after taking it.

After taking the Berserk Blood Pill, Yang Shan and Chao Bafang now had the strength to confront Cheng Yuan head-on.

Chao Bafang secretly began building up the Mountain Piercing Spear Art.

Only after the conditions for condensing Dou Qi had been met did Chao Bafang take the Berserk Blood Pill.

The pill's effects kicked in within just a few breaths. Chao Bafang's face turned as red as if he had downed three pounds of baijiu, practically steaming.

"Hm?"

Cheng Yuan, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and warned, "Be careful. Someone's here!"

As expected of a Purple Word Seal NPC—his perception was far stronger than that of ordinary NPCs.

Chao Bafang's ambush had been detected in advance, but that did not stop him from attacking.

Long spear in hand, Chao Bafang kicked off with both legs and shot out of the bushes.

His target was the Green Word Seal Great Fighter NPC escorting Madam Yao.

"Mountain Piercing Spear Art!"

"You dare!"

Cheng Yuan reacted far faster than the companion beside him. In a flash, he activated his Dou Qi Armor and blocked Chao Bafang's path.

Cheng Yuan's weapons were a pair of gauntlets, and he was clearly skilled in fist and palm-type Dou Techniques.

Though Chao Bafang had the Berserk Blood Pill's boost, he was still far inferior to Cheng Yuan in terms of attributes.

But Chao Bafang had activated his Dou Technique beforehand, catching him off guard.

In his haste, Cheng Yuan could only barely activate a low-grade Yellow-rank Dou Technique.

When the two attacks collided, they actually ended in a draw.

That single exchange thrilled Chao Bafang to no end.

So what if he was a Purple Word Seal Five-Star Great Fighter? Just fight him head-on! Cheng Yuan was stunned as well.

The aura emanating from Chao Bafang was exceptionally violent, yet what condensed around his body was clearly only Dou Qi Gauze at the Dou Fighter level.

He must have used some special method to enhance his strength.

However, the Azure Cloud Association had always acted cautiously, leaving behind no evidence. How had anyone tracked them down to the Yun Shuang Branch?

Cheng Yuan was no ordinary lackey. He held a certain degree of authority within the Azure Cloud Association's Yun Shuang Branch.

Thus, Cheng Yuan's first reaction was to probe Chao Bafang's true capabilities, determine his purpose, and analyze whether he posed any threat to the Azure Cloud Association.

So Cheng Yuan asked bluntly:

"Who are you?"

Chao Bafang's battlefield general's soul blazed fiercely:

"I am General Chao Bafang!"

Cheng Yuan said, "Chao Bafang? Never heard of you. What faction are you from? There may be some misunderstanding between us."

The Azure Cloud Association was still lurking in the shadows and could not be brought into the open. If they had clashed with another major faction, it would be best to handle it quietly.

But Chao Bafang clearly had no interest in that. Right now, he only wanted to face Cheng Yuan head-on and shove his halberd up Cheng Yuan's ass:

"A misunderstanding? You petty scum dare to abduct a woman in broad daylight? How could I, Chao Bafang, allow you to remain alive? Beast, die!"

Who was Cheng Yuan? An Azure Cloud Association Branch deacon! And some nobody had called him a beast.

Could he tolerate that? "Kid, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! You're merely a Fighter, yet you dare act arrogant before me!"

Cheng Yuan immediately engaged Chao Bafang in battle.

Both were Earth Attribute cultivators. Their moves were broad and forceful, and their defenses were quite high.

But Cheng Yuan was a Great Fighter, after all. Chao Bafang only managed to look badass for a few seconds.

Without the offensive boost of the Mountain Piercing Spear Art, Chao Bafang gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Yang Shan was still waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity.

Seeing that Chao Bafang no longer posed much of a threat, Cheng Yuan ordered, "Take this woman back first. Once I deal with this brat, I'll come over!"

"Yes, Deacon Cheng. Then please be care—"

Before he could even say the word "careful," this One-Star Great Fighter with a Green Word Seal had already lost his head.

After taking the Berserk Blood Pill, Yang Shan's speed surged. Taking advantage of his opponent's carelessness, he struck decisively. The entire exchange took less than two breaths.

That One-Star Great Fighter with the Green Word Seal had actually reacted.

But he was not fast enough.

His Dou Qi Armor had only just begun to gather and had not fully formed when Yang Shan's blade arrived.

Nearly three hundred points of attack brutally tore through the already fragile prototype of the Dou Qi Armor. The blade swept across his throat in one smooth motion.

Then Yang Shan rolled on the spot, shedding the momentum of his rapid charge.

"There's another expert?"

Cheng Yuan had never expected one of his men to be instantly killed.

He was a One-Star Great Fighter, for crying out loud! When Cheng Yuan turned around, he happened to see lightning raging around Yang Shan's feet.

Thunder Spirit Flash! In the time it took Cheng Yuan to blink, Yang Shan had already closed in from thirty feet away.

Cheng Yuan was horrified:

"A Profound-tier Dou Technique!"

One had to know that, for a Great Fighter, a Profound-tier Dou Technique should have been a trump card kept in reserve.

The Dou Qi Gauze covering Yang Shan proved that he was only a Fighter.

"Could he be the Young Master of some faction in Cloud Frost City?"

Cheng Yuan had little time left.

Yang Shan was coming too fast.

And Chao Bafang was still desperately tying him down.

Berserk Blood Pill, Thunder Spirit Flash, Thunder Cleaving Slash, and the Lightning Guiding Blade.

With all four combined, Yang Shan's attack with this strike had soared to nearly six hundred!

A visible crack appeared in Cheng Yuan's Dou Qi Armor from the blow.

It was not over yet!

A normal attack, Thunder Cleaving Slash, another normal attack, then Thunder Cleaving Slash again! Just like when he had forcefully killed the Fire Cloud Leopard.

Yang Shan inserted normal attacks into the gaps between Thunder Cleaving Slashes.

The damage piled up in a short time was considerable! Of course, using Thunder Cleaving Slash without pause would consume Dou Qi at a terrifying rate.

But now was clearly not the time to worry about Dou Qi.

He had to break Cheng Yuan's Dou Qi Armor as quickly as possible. If Cheng Yuan was given enough time to react, then under the Berserk Blood Pill's effects, both Yang Shan's and Chao Bafang's defenses would be weakened to a certain extent.

Then they would truly be in danger!

Cheng Yuan's Dou Qi Armor dimmed at a visible rate.

And as Cheng Yuan focused on dealing with Yang Shan, Chao Bafang finally found an opening.

"Mountain Piercing Spear Art!"

Chao Bafang used his strongest Dou Technique once more, and this time it paid off.

That thrust directly depleted Cheng Yuan's remaining Vitality Shield.

If Cheng Yuan had not dodged at the critical moment, the lingering force of that thrust would have been enough to skewer him up the ass!

"You two bast—"

Cheng Yuan had not even finished speaking when Chao Bafang rushed in front of him and flung the Lime Powder in his hand straight into Cheng Yuan's face. "You've got some nerve! You're about to die, and you still want to insult people!"
