And why is he able to hit so far?

To say that you can hit the Bend and Straighten as Desired requires a special kind of control, but it is just a skill.

Even Huang Yaoshi's Empty Palm Strike could only travel two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). How could he possibly shoot four or five zhang (approximately 23.3 meters) with this palm strike? That's terrifying!

He shouldn't have such profound skills!

Ouyang Feng was in a state of utter confusion, feeling somewhat like he had nowhere to turn.

Although his Lightness Skill was impressive, he never dared to leap far, nor did he dare to leave the battlefield and rush into the mountains to escape.

Firstly, he was carrying Ouyang Ke, and secondly, the young man behind him clearly had a Lightness Skill that was no worse than his own.

If one is chasing the other, then it really becomes a contest of leg strength.

If you can't win, there's no such chaotic battlefield to hide in.

Ouyang Feng turned and leaped back and forth among the numerous boats moored beside the reeds on the riverbank.

They fled only towards the warships that were flying several Vermilion Bird Flag.

Ji Boying struck again with his palm.

Unable to figure out the direction of Ji Boying's change of direction, they initially observed his hand movements, but the moves they used to dodge became ineffective.

Ouyang Feng had no choice but to turn around, using his palm strikes to protect his entire body, ready to respond at any moment.

A shrill whistling sound came from inside.

He deliberately swung his palm, intending to detonate the force of the palm strike.

This was the first time Ouyang Feng had faced off against Ji Boying head-on.

A deafening roar was heard.

The ship that Ouyang Feng was standing on instantly broke apart.

A fierce gust of wind swept outwards from the center!

A powerful force jolted Ouyang Feng, making his arm numb and his palm ache.

This palm strike was seven parts like the Old Beggar's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, one part like Qiu Qianren's Iron Palm Technique, and contained two layers of sinister hidden force that drilled into the meridians of the arm along the palm.

The lake water within a two-zhang radius of Ouyang Feng burst forth and surged up to a height of three or four zhang in the air.

After it fell again with a clatter.

A rainbow several meters long stretched across the sky from the misty water.

Ouyang Feng had no time to appreciate such a beautiful scene; he had already taken advantage of the sudden surge of waves in the lake to slip away and escape.

Ouyang Feng used the commotion to escape, but Ji Boying used it to launch another attack.

The palm strike, as powerful as a dragon's roar, was hidden in the rushing water and arrived before Ouyang Feng the moment he turned around.

Just now, I used that palm strike to dispel the internal force that had seeped into my arm.

The palm strike came so suddenly that Ouyang Feng had no room to dodge.

He could only watch helplessly as the palm suddenly changed direction in mid-air and struck Ouyang Ke's left rib.

"Ke'er!!"

Ouyang Feng's eyes were bloodshot.

But he could only watch as Ouyang Ke, whose white robes he had been holding, suddenly turned into tattered strips of cloth and burst apart.

His face, already pale with fright, turned even paler, and large mouthfuls of blood gushed out.

With the impact to his left ribs, half of his ribs and sternum were shattered, and the left half of his chest had completely collapsed.

Intense pain swept through Ouyang Ke's entire body.

But Ouyang Ke was unable to utter even a single scream.

It was spitting blood from its mouth while its mouth was wide open, like a fish starving for oxygen.

However, his chest was severely injured, with the outer skin and rotting flesh all collapsing onto his internal organs, and half of his lung was also blown out.

The remaining internal organs were also affected by the Heart Severing Palm, and were torn apart, but under the conditioned reflex of the severed nerves, they all came together again.

It has clearly lost all its functionality.

Blood was gushing out from the inside out, and Ouyang Ke was covered in blood in the blink of an eye.

"Ke'er!!!"

In that instant, Ouyang Feng did not stop walking, but he felt as if his heart was breaking, and he could only cry out in despair.

Just as they were about to inject some internal energy into Ouyang Ke's body, it only caused Ouyang Ke to convulse all over.

This was because his meridians had been shattered inch by inch by the shock, making it impossible for him to withstand even a little bit of internal force.

Ouyang Feng immediately stopped and dared not make any more moves.

He didn't want to add to Ouyang Ke's pain, but little did he know that Ouyang Ke couldn't feel the pain of the internal energy he injected. Those reactions were just a natural reaction to external stimuli, a loss of brain control, and he was almost dead. His body was still relatively fresh.

At this moment, although Ouyang Ke still couldn't help opening his mouth and vomiting blood from time to time, it was actually just normal gushing of blood.

Such commotion is hardly evidence that he is alive; it is merely a corpse's reflex. Ouyang Ke is clearly dead.

Ouyang Feng was heartbroken, but Ji Boying didn't care about his grief. This was all intentional on his part, and the continuous Empty Palm Strike strikes continued.

Ouyang Feng was almost at his wit's end, his left hand soaked in blood as he clutched the limp corpse of Ouyang Ke.

His teeth were clenched, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was ferocious and terrifying!

Finally, she threw her beloved son's body behind her, blocking the two palm strikes that Ji Boying was about to deliver.

A limp body burst open, revealing another crimson curtain.

Ouyang Ke never knew that Ouyang Feng was his father until his death.

As the son, he used his last body to buy his biological father a final sliver of hope for life, giving Ouyang Feng that crucial moment to leap onto the Vermilion Bird Ship.

Through the red curtain, Ji Boying could almost see Ouyang Feng turn around, his face bloodshot, his eyes filled with a look of rage that wished he could tear her to pieces.

He simply ripped open the top of the cabin with a single palm strike.

He inserted his Iron Snake Staff into the layers of oil paper bags.

At the same time, he dodged and retreated rapidly.

The veins on his limbs and neck were bulging, clearly indicating that he was exerting all his internal energy.

In that split second, he launched a Coin Darts.

Sparks flew as metal clashed against the Iron Snake Staff.

That tiny spark triggered a chain reaction.

Instantly, the oil paper package in the cabin burst into thick smoke.

The fire ignited instantly.

The fire snake kept leaping upwards, licking everything around it.

In just a split second, a ship exploded, and countless fireballs were scattered in all directions, landing on more than a dozen ships around it.

All seven or eight Vermilion Bird Ships were engulfed in such flames.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, affecting an area of several dozen feet in radius.

Flames blazed directly on the lake's surface, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire.

Ji Boying also quickly dodged and retreated, realizing that the ship was carrying gunpowder.

Taking advantage of the cover of the flames and thick smoke, Ouyang Feng burrowed into the bottom of the lake.

Ji Boying could only helplessly watch the flames burn and the thick smoke rise. Even with his internal energy enhanced to improve his eyesight, he could not find Ouyang Feng's whereabouts.

He couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Huang Yaoshi, who had just landed beside him.
