The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, as its name implied, was tied to the reincarnation of the six paths. To a certain extent, the reincarnation Dao rhythm within Chen Fan also belonged within the six paths, but the Dao rhythm wielded by this young man was clearly far deeper—anything but simple.
Who exactly is he? Chen Fan wondered. As he swung his sharp sword against the man's fists, the wound on his shoulder gradually healed under the effects of the Burning Wood Chapter.
Yet the young man before him only grew braver the longer he fought. He pushed the Dao rhythm of Six Paths Reincarnation to its utmost limit, nearly reincarnating Chen Fan himself.
The Taiji Diagram within Chen Fan's body also blazed brilliantly, spinning at high speed. Its Life and Death reincarnation Dao rhythm frantically resisted the young man's Dao rhythm as the two stood locked in opposition.
The sword in his hand began to crack beneath several of the young man's punches. Chen Fan brought two fingers together and brushed them along the blade, then swept out his hand. The entire iron sword suddenly snapped into nine sections.
The nine fragments transformed into nine solid spirit swords in midair, forming the Nine Palaces Sword Formation and abruptly enveloping the young man.
The young man's expression did not change. Emotionless from start to finish, he continued unleashing the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, nearly manifesting the six paths themselves. With a boom, the swords formed from the nine fragments were instantly blocked. A circular curtain of light appeared before him, firmly pinning all nine fragments against it.
The longer this fist art was used, the deeper one fell into demonic obsession, and its power would only grow with time.
Chen Fan's gaze flickered slightly. *I can't drag this out any longer.
