Thousand Rock Shattering Palm

Thousand Rock Shattering Palm

As the saying went, Those who kept company with vermilion turned red; those who kept company with ink turned black.

After grinding monsters with Yang Shan these past few days, Chao Bafang had unknowingly picked up all of Yang Shan's underhanded tricks.

At first, Chao Bafang had felt that such tactics were beneath someone like him, a "great general."

But ever since he had tried clutching Boiling Itch Powder and Lime Powder in his hand two days ago, making a patrol squad captain let out a miserable scream, he had truly discovered how wonderful it was! This time, Chao Bafang had long planned to throw it right in Cheng Yuan's face.

Once Dou Qi Armor shattered, it took time to condense it again.

That brief window was the best time to strike.

However, Cheng Yuan truly deserved to be a Purple Word Seal NPC. He actually saw through Chao Bafang's trick and shut his eyes at the crucial moment.

He also hastily drew out a wisp of Dou Qi to cover his face.

The Lime Powder failed to have any effect at all.

But the Boiling Itch Powder fell into Cheng Yuan's collar.

At once, Cheng Yuan felt unbearably itchy all over, especially around his chest. He wanted nothing more than to stamp several red-hot branding irons onto it.

Naturally, the itching affected Cheng Yuan's movements.

Chao Bafang seized the chance to stab his spear into Cheng Yuan's abdomen.

It was not that Chao Bafang did not want to strike a more fatal weak point. Cheng Yuan was simply too experienced; even while itching all over, he kept moving.

Hitting a moving target was entirely different from hitting a stationary one.

"Bafang, nicely done!"

At critical moments, Yang Shan still had to come through! Of course, even Yang Shan could not guarantee that he would hit a weak point every time against a rapidly moving target.

So Yang Shan took two large Animal Traps out of his Storage Ring! Animal Traps as big as millstones!

He hurled them directly at Cheng Yuan.

Clack!

One clamped down on Cheng Yuan's left calf.

Clack!

The second clamped onto Cheng Yuan's backside.

"Ah! You've gone too far!"

Those words truly did not sound like something a villain would say.

But on second thought... if they were not trying to save Madam Yao, then Yang Shan and Chao Bafang, tossing powders and Animal Traps around, looked even more like villains.

The two Animal Traps perfectly restricted Cheng Yuan's movements.

Yang Shan and Chao Bafang seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow! But at that moment, Cheng Yuan's long-prepared Dou Technique finally finished activating.

Although his shattered Dou Qi Armor prevented him from condensing it again for the time being, as a Five-Star Great Fighter with a Purple Word Seal, how could Cheng Yuan not have a few trump cards up his sleeve?

If he could not defend, then he would fight for his life!

The Dou Qi covering Cheng Yuan's right hand had nearly solidified!

As Cheng Yuan thrust his right hand forward, the Dou Qi around his palm instantly swelled.

This Dou Qi Palm Force was probably a full zhang in both length and width! "Thousand Rock Shattering Palm!"

Chao Bafang clearly recognized that the move was extraordinarily powerful.

He immediately stepped in front of Yang Shan.

"Great God, run! I'll stop him!"

"Damn it, why are you making this so damn romantic?"

Yang Shan yanked Chao Bafang aside and activated Thunder Spirit Flash, closing in within the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuan sneered viciously. "Kid, you actually dare come over to die? I admire your courage!"

Cheng Yuan's presence was immensely powerful at that moment. This Dou Technique had definitely reached the Profound Rank! After taking the Berserk Blood Pill, Yang Shan had lost 1,000 points of Qi and Blood, and his defense had dropped by another 20 points.

Even with Dou Qi Gauze activated, he absolutely could not withstand Cheng Yuan's attack.

Cheng Yuan also could not understand why Yang Shan dared to come and court death.

But just as Cheng Yuan was about to deal Yang Shan a fatal blow, Yang Shan acted first, injecting three points of Dou Qi into the mutated magic core in his hand.

The next instant, raging flames erupted beneath Cheng Yuan's crotch.

"AAAAAAAH—"

A miserable scream rang through the forest.

Chao Bafang, who was charging at Cheng Yuan, saw this and felt like his dick had shriveled from fright. He thought to himself:

"My goodness, if that thing gets roasted... can you eat it?"

Cheng Yuan was drenched in sweat, tears streaming from the pain, while the area between his legs was charred and crispy.

But as an external deacon of the Azure Cloud Association, Cheng Yuan possessed excellent combat instincts.

Even if he was going to die, he had to drag someone down with him! The qi concentrated in his palm actually grew denser under the intense pain.

Yang Shan sensed trouble and turned to run.

But Chao Bafang reacted a beat too slowly. One second he had been pondering the taste of roasted bird, and the next, he paid the price for that perverted thought.

Cheng Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he slammed out with his right palm. "Die!"

"I eat lemons!"

After saying those four words, Chao Bafang was blasted to pieces by Cheng Yuan's unstoppable Dou Qi.

Struck head-on by Cheng Yuan's trump-card explosive combat skill, his fragile Dou Qi Gauze instantly collapsed.

"Thousand Rock Shattering Palm" was an offensive combat skill that condensed and projected Dou Qi.

Its striking range was quite broad.

Chao Bafang's weak points, such as his head and throat, were hit at the same time.

Combined with the negative effects of the Berserk Blood Pill—

Being instantly killed was entirely understandable.

Even Yang Shan could not have saved Chao Bafang.

Of course, Chao Bafang's sacrifice had been worthwhile.

Taking advantage of that brief opening, Yang Shan launched another sneak attack and successfully slashed Cheng Yuan across the neck.

With a sizzling sound, the Thunder Guiding Blade only barely sank into Cheng Yuan's neck.

There was no way that could kill him in one strike.

An Earth Attribute Great Fighter's Constitution really was high! Yang Shan hurriedly followed up with a Thunder Cleaving Slash.

Only then did he successfully separate Cheng Yuan's head from his body.

Ding! Player killed Cheng Yuan (Purple; Five-Star Great Fighter). Base EXP: 10000. Level-gap EXP bonus: 50%. Player gained EXP: 15000!

Congratulations! Player has advanced to Nine Star Dou Shi! Free Attribute +3!

Please note: Advancing from Dou Shi to Great Fighter requires passing the "Heart Demon Trial." For details, please consult the "Player Handbook."

As expected of a Purple Word Seal Five-Star Great Fighter.

The EXP was more than ten times that of a Green Word Seal Great Fighter! However, just as breaking through from a Nine-Star Fighter to Dou Shi required five times as much EXP—

Advancing from Nine Star Dou Shi to One-Star Great Fighter required a full 25,000 EXP! Although Yang Shan had now reached Nine Star Dou Shi, his EXP bar was not even half full.

Only after seeing that the battle was over did Madam Yao cautiously approach. "Yang... Little Friend Yang Shan, this time, we truly owe you a great debt."

Yang Shan waved his hand.

"You are too polite, Madam Yao. Master Yao and I are friends despite our age difference. It was only natural for me to come to his rescue!"

He could call a little over thirty points of favorability "friends despite their age difference."

Even Madam Yao, who knew perfectly well what the relationship between Master Yao and Yang Shan was, could not help feeling a little ashamed. She could only reply:

"Please, Little Friend Yang Shan, escort this humble woman back to Cloud Frost City. I will surely reward Little Friend Yang Shan properly."

"Rest assured, Madam Yao. Please wait a moment."

Yang Shan still needed to collect Cheng Yuan's drops.

Compared to the pile of Spirit Stones Cheng Yuan had dropped, Yang Shan's attention was more focused on the long halberd lying not far away.

A message arrived from Chao Bafang in the chat window: "Fuck! My halberd dropped! My halberd is gone!"

Yang Shan: "Stop yelling. I've put it away for you. I'll give it back when we return to the city!"

Chao Bafang: "That's great! Thanks, Great God!"

After putting away the long halberd, Yang Shan turned around, waved his hand, and stored the pile of Spirit Stones Cheng Yuan had dropped into his Storage Ring.

Not bad—1,100 Spirit Stones.

"Hm?"

After the Spirit Stones vanished, Yang Shan saw that a brown-covered book was still lying quietly on the ground.

"No way? Am I really this lucky?"

"Thousand Rock Shattering Palm" (Purple)

Grade: Low Xuan Rank

Type: Offensive Combat Skill
Cultivation Requirements: Must possess an Earth Attribute cultivation method; Dou Qi Intensity above 10 points.

Standard Time Acceleration: 5 seconds.

Dou Qi Consumption: 100 points.

Dou Technique Damage: Character Attack Power + Dou Qi Intensity × 4.2 + Fixed Attack 150.

Description: A precious secret Dou Technique of the Azure Cloud Association. It possessed considerable destructive power and a fairly impressive attack range.

Yang Shan cursed, "Damn!"

As expected of a Mystic-tier Purple Word Seal offensive Dou Technique.

The damage of this "Thousand Rock Shattering Palm" was leagues beyond that of Yellow-tier Dou Techniques!

With Chao Bafang's stats, the maximum damage from this technique would definitely exceed 400!

At this stage, how many Players had defense over 100? With one strike, it would smash their Dou Qi Gauze to pieces, then relentlessly trigger weak-point damage.

One palm wiping out a crowd was no longer a dream! Yang Shan then sent the screenshot to Chao Bafang:

"Bafang, I remember you prefer using a spear. You probably don't need this thing, right?"

"Holy shit! Great God, I need it! I'm way too weak!"

The moment Chao Bafang saw the screenshot, he seemed to climax on the spot, hugging a stone bollard beside him and howling.

The Players leaving Cloud Frost City's respawn point alongside Chao Bafang all kept their distance from him.

Run, there's a pervert! Yet Yang Shan did not immediately agree to give Chao Bafang the Dou Technique. Instead, he asked:

"Bafang, how much RMB do you think this Dou Technique could sell for if we listed it at the Auction House?"

Only then did Chao Bafang calm down, muttering to himself, "Right! Great God was the one who got this Dou Technique. At most, I just contributed an assist."

Chao Bafang glanced once more at the attributes of "Thousand Rock Shattering Palm."

Damn it!

Wasn't this thing more pleasing to look at than those borderline clips on Douyin? If it were listed at the Auction House, who knew how many rich second-generation kids with hundreds of thousands or even millions in spending money would turn red-eyed over it.

Given that everyone currently only had Yellow-tier Dou Techniques, selling a Mystic-tier Dou Technique for one or two hundred thousand seemed perfectly reasonable.

Chao Bafang sensibly sent Yang Shan a message: "Great God, name your terms. What do I have to do to own this Dou Technique? I'll even sign myself over if I have to!"
