Imperial City Battle (5) Haotian Three Styles

Dao Fan Shangren unleashed a Seal Character, pressing down on the Fire-Winged Monkey. The monkey dodged to the right, avoiding Flowing Cloud Matriarch's attack.

Gongsun Haoyue's attack from the left has arrived, and a flame is burning towards Dao Fan Shangren.

Dao Fan Shangren swept his whisk around, and a gust of primordial energy blew up, attempting to extinguish the flames.

Jiang Liu moved Nebula Shrunken Earth and silently appeared behind Dao Fan Shangren, his three top-grade short swords flying out.

The three short swords seemed to be guided forward by an invisible hand, their flight paths flickering erratically.

With a single blow, the Fire-Winged Monkey shattered Dao Fan Shangren's Seal Character, and then swept the Primal Qi Cudgel horizontally towards Dao Fan Shangren.

The sword in Flowing Cloud Matriarch's hand changed its move, continuing to stab towards Dao Fan Shangren's side rib.

The fire attack launched by Gongsun Haoyue was not extinguished by the wind from Dao Fan Shangren's whisk; instead, it became even more intense.

Suddenly, flames erupted in the arena, burning directly onto Dao Fan Shangren's body.

Dao Fan Shangren had no time to extinguish the fire, because Jiang Liu's short sword had already shot in from three directions. Most deadly of all, Flowing Cloud Matriarch's sword move had reached his ribs.

Dao Fan Shangren had no choice but to throw his whisk to the side to block Flowing Cloud Matriarch's sword strike. He then leaped up, enduring the burning heavenly fire on his body, and raised himself higher once more.

With this sudden increase in height, he finally dodged the attacks from the Fire-Winged Monkey and the Flowing Cloud Matriarch. As for Jiang Liu's short sword attack, he didn't have time to dodge it and could only take it head-on.

Jiang Liu's three short swords struck Dao Fan Shangren from three different directions, making a "clang!" sound before falling back.

Jiang Liu's attack was still unsuccessful, but this was exactly what Jiang Liu had expected.

He just wanted to test whether he could break through the defense with a top-quality short sword.

Dao Fan Shangren quickly released two talismans to extinguish the heavenly fire burning on his body.

When he finally stood still, he looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from his previous dignified and otherworldly appearance.

His Daoist robe had been burned so badly that his undergarments were exposed, and most of his hair was singed.

Dao Fan Shangren stretched out his hand, and the whisk that Flowing Cloud Matriarch had knocked away returned to his hand. He looked solemnly at the three people and one monkey who were attacking him.

He knew that if he didn't handle things well today, he might really die.

He hadn't expected Jiang Liu's Exotic Beast to be so powerful; in battle, it was even more difficult for him to deal with than Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue.

"Is there really no room for negotiation? Are you determined to fight to the death today?" Dao Fan Shangren asked.

"As long as you leave Tian Province with your people from the National Preceptor's Mansion's Mansion, I can let you go," Flowing Cloud Matriarch replied.

The Fire-Winged Monkey, ignoring them, continued to smash Dao Fan Shangren's head with its staff.

Gongsun Haoyue, holding a wooden staff, stood aside and continued to surround Dao Fan Shangren.

Dao Fan Shangren tucked his whisk into his waistband and, with alternating hands, unleashed two consecutive solidifying talismans, finally managing to block the Fire-Winged Monkey's attack.

Not far from this battle, Duanmu Haotian watched Jiang Zongquan, who was gradually showing signs of fatigue, attack him while also pondering his next move.

His expression was uncertain, and he always felt that something was wrong, as if Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue were plotting something.

Otherwise, how come the three people and the monkey were besieging Dao Fan Shangren for so long and still hadn't managed to defeat him?

Although Dao Fan's Daoist magic and talisman techniques are difficult to defend against, it is impossible to defend against them completely forever.

He looked at Jiang Zongquan across from him, who was showing increasing signs of fatigue, and at the battle situation below, where the opposing side was gradually gaining the upper hand.

Although he didn't know Liu Yun and Gongsun Haoyue's plans, as long as Jiang Zongquan was killed today, the overall situation could be considered settled.

As for how to deal with the Great Qian Imperial Family afterward, it's entirely up to them to decide.

Duanmu Haotian finished thinking, he fully circulated the Haotian Art Qi within his body, and streaks of pale yellow light flashed from his body.

The surrounding energy was frantically converging towards Duanmu Haotian's hands; he was preparing to unleash the Haotian Sect's ultimate technique, the Haotian Three Styles.

Soon after, even the clouds in the sky seemed to be converging here, and the sky darkened considerably.

The aura emanating from Duanmu Haotian grew increasingly powerful, gradually giving rise to an aura of unassailable authority.

This should be the inherent aura attack of the Haotian Art, as well as the primordial energy shock generated by the Haotian Three Styles.

Jiang Zongquan, sitting opposite Duanmu Haotian, stared at him with a solemn expression, his golden scepter swaying incessantly.

Streams of vital energy attacked Duanmu Haotian around, attempting to disrupt his energy flow.

But all of this seemed to be in vain. His energy attack was dispersed as soon as it entered Duanmu Haotian's surrounding area.

This left Jiang Zongquan helpless, and he could only watch as Duanmu Haotian channeled his energy.

Jiang Zongquan had long heard of the Haotian Sect's Haotian Three Styles.

I just haven't had the chance to see it yet. I've always heard that these three moves have the power to shatter the heavens and split the earth.

These Haotian Three Styles can only be practiced by each successive sect leader of Haotian Sect; they are a closely guarded secret of Haotian Sect.

However, these are just legends; no one has ever witnessed them, because those who did are all dead.

These Haotian Three Styles are said to be desperate moves, but I never expected that Duanmu Haotian would use them without hesitation today in order to deal with me.

The commotion on Duanmu Haotian's side also attracted the attention of Jiang Liu's group.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue exchanged a glance, but neither spoke. They simply nodded slightly and continued their attack on Dao Fan Shangren.

However, their offensive was clearly much stronger than before, probably to prevent Dao Fan Shangren from rescuing Jiang Zongquan.

Meanwhile, Dao Fan Shangren on the other side was clearly starting to get anxious. He completely disregarded the fact that his internal energy was depleted and frequently released talismans to block the attacks.

Then I thought I could take advantage of the break to go and support Jiang Zongquan.

His understanding of Duanmu Haotian's martial arts techniques was far greater than Jiang Zongquan's.

Because he had a lot of dealings with Duanmu Haotian, the reason he left the Daoist sect was because he was forced by Duanmu Haotian.

If it weren't for his sect protecting him at the cost of their lives, he would probably be dead by now.

So he continued to study Duanmu Haotian's martial arts techniques, hoping that one day he could take revenge on Duanmu Haotian.

Jiang Liu was also somewhat surprised by Duanmu Haotian's powerful aura emanating from afar.

This was the first time he had ever seen Peak Grandmaster preparing for a full-scale battle.

The main thing is to look at its imposing aura; it can subtly plunder all the surrounding vital energy before launching an attack.

This gave Jiang Liu a deeper understanding of the Yuan Qi of Peak Grandmaster.
