The claws shot through the air and went straight to the throat!
Fang Han's eyes were focused, his foot was wrong, <Windcloud Escape> acted with all his strength.
The body shape is like a wisp of light smoke, drifting back half a foot to the side and back when there is no room for it.
"Tsk--!"
Five jet-black claws almost passed by his neck, and the strong wind made his skin hurt.
He narrowly avoided the attack, but Meng Xian's offensive was far from over.
One claw failed, Meng Xian flipped his wrist, pressed down with the claw, and changed it to a straight sweep.
Five claws tore through Void Sundering's energy and slashed towards Fang Han's waist and abdomen.
The speed of the changes is dizzying.
Fang Han had no time to dodge, Cloudsplitter Sword crossed in front of him, Internal Qi surged forward, and took the blow forcefully.
"Dang--!"
The sound of gold and iron clashing exploded.
As sparks flew everywhere, Fang Han felt a huge force coming from the sword. His whole body was shaken and moved several feet sideways, and his feet plowed two deep ravines on the ground.
Before he could stabilize his figure, Meng Xian's figure was approaching again like a ghost.
Both claws came out at the same time, and ten claws intertwined into a network, sealing off all his dodge space.
"Let me see how many tricks you can do!"
Meng Xian sneered, and the offensive became more fierce.
Fang Han looked calm and calm.
Cloudsplitter Sword dances like a wheel, and the green Sword Qi crisscrosses, violently colliding with the claws all over the sky.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang--!"
The sound of gold and iron clashing was like exploding beans, with sparks flying everywhere.
Sword Qi and its claws were full of light, cutting the surrounding ground into ravines and criss-crossing, and the gravel was shot out.
The two of them were fighting fast, their figures flashing rapidly in the messy forest, colliding, separating, and colliding again.
Every confrontation erupted with deafening roars and more violent shock waves.
Fang Han's Sword Technique was unparalleled, and Greater Accomplishment<Void-Sundering Nine Swords>'s Sword Intent was pushed to the extreme by him. Every thrust of the sword was sharp enough to tear the void.
However, Meng Xian's cultivation is deeper than him after all.
Fourth Grade Late Stage's extreme cultivation level, coupled with exquisite and ruthless martial arts, each claw contains terrifying power that can severely damage ordinary Fourth Grade Late Stage warriors.
Gradually, Fang Han began to fall into disadvantage.
His sword moves were still fierce, but they were gradually suppressed in the face of Meng Xian's continuous offensive.
Every time he collided, he felt a numbness in his arm.
Another hard shake.
"Dang--!"
The sharp claws of Cloudsplitter Sword and Meng Xian collided, and a harsh sound of gold and iron erupted.
Fang Han felt a huge force coming in, and his whole body was shaken and he took three steps back.
Meng Xian only paused slightly before pounced again.
He was unyielding when he gained the upper hand, attacking with both claws in a series of attacks, each wave becoming stronger than the last.
"Tsk--!"
A claw light tore the hem of Fang Han's green robe.
Only a few seconds later, the attack fell on him.
He could clearly feel the sharp claws grazing his skin.
"Let's see how long you can last!"
Meng Xian sneered, and the offensive became more and more fierce.
He thrust out both claws, and the shadows of his claws covered all the vital parts of Fang Han's body.
Fang Han tried his best to resist, and the sword light protected his whole body.
But Meng Xian's offensive was too fierce and too intensive.
Finally--
"Dang--!"
Another violent collision.
Fang Han felt a numbness in his right arm, and Cloudsplitter Sword almost let go.
But Meng Xian seized on this fleeting flaw, his left claw feinted, but his right claw had quietly bypassed the sword light, turned into a palm, and slapped Fang Han's chest with one palm.
This palm has a tricky angle and perfect timing.
Fang Han couldn't dodge in time, so he only had time to turn slightly sideways, and let the palm originally aimed at the heart hit the upper left chest.
"Bang--!"
There was a dull sound like the sound of a drum.
Meng Xian's palm struck Fang Han firmly.
Fang Han The left chest of the green robe exploded instantly, and the fabric fragments flew in all directions, revealing a piece of soft silver armor underneath that shimmered with light.
On the soft armor, light flashed rapidly, blocking part of the power.
But there was still a lot of power that turned into Hidden Force, passed through the soft armor, and bombarded Fang Han.
But what was unexpected was.
After receiving Meng Xian's claw, Fang Han's figure only swayed slightly, took half a step back, and then stabilized.
It clearly doesn't look like an injury.
The sneer on Meng Xian's face solidified at this moment.
Although part of the force of his palm was removed by the soft armor, the remaining palm force was still enough to cause an ordinary Fourth Grade Late Stage warrior to be seriously injured and vomit blood.
But what about Fang Han?
He only took half a step back, without even frowning.
"You..."
Meng Xian's pupils shrank, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
When he slapped Fang Han with his palm just now, in addition to the flash of light from the soft armor, Fang Han's body itself seemed to have produced a strong counter-shock force.
That is not Internal Qi body protection, but... pure physical defense!
"You practiced the Horizontal Training technique!"
Meng Xian blurted out, with irrepressible surprise in his voice.
While his cultivation level was rising rapidly, Fang Han actually practiced the Horizontal Training technique, and his level was not low.
"Are you tickling me?"
Fang Han looked down at the broken robe on his chest, then looked up at Meng Xian with a playful look.
Without the cooperation of a warrior with strong attack power, physical defense is not easy to test, so he does not have a clear understanding of his own physical defense.
Now it seems that I have underestimated the powerful physical defense gained by reaching Beginner stage through <Black Tortoise True Art>.
However, now that it has been determined that the physical defense is now strong, the fighting method can be slightly changed.
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing Fang Han's words, Meng Xian's face instantly became extremely ugly.
"Okay, very good!"
He took a deep breath, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more intense.
"I want to see how many times your physical body can block my palms!"
Before he finished speaking, his body moved again.
This time, his offensive was even more fierce.
The two palms were shot out in succession, each palm carrying a terrifying power that could crack a monument or crack a stone.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Realizing the strength of physical defense, it is difficult for Meng Xian's attacks to severely damage him, so Fang Han no longer passively defends himself.
He used <Windcloud Escape> with all his strength under his feet, and his figure was erratic, shuttling in Meng Xian's offensive.
Cloudsplitter Sword turned into a series of green giants and fought back fiercely.
"Bang!"
Meng Xian smacked the air with his palm and landed on a thick ancient tree behind Fang Han.
The ancient trees broke in response, and sawdust flew into the air.
"Tsk!"
Fang Han thrust out his sword, and the tip of the sword grazed Meng Xian's ribs. The attack penetrated the soft armor, leaving deep blood marks.
"Tsk!"
Meng Xian groaned, and with a backhand claw, he firmly grasped Fang Han's left arm that was not protected by soft armor.
But it was like being caught on extremely tough metal, and his attack only left five shallow blood marks on Fang Han's left arm.
The wounds on both of their bodies are increasing.
But Fang Han's injuries were obviously much lighter than Meng Xian's.
His physical defense is really too strong.
Meng Xian's palm force could only leave minor injuries on Fang Han's body.
To Fang Han, these minor injuries are nothing more than physical pain and do not affect his combat effectiveness at all.
On the other hand, Meng Xian, every time he was struck by Fang Han's sword, it was a real wound.
Although due to Meng Xian's careful precautions, there was no impact and it was not fatal, but the cumulative effect was that the injuries were getting worse.
Meng Xian The more I beat him, the more frightened I became.
He obviously has higher cultivation and stronger attacks, but he still can't seriously injure Fang Han.
And Fang Han relied on his abnormal physical defense to withstand his attacks time and time again, and counterattacked fiercely again and again.
If this continues, even if he can win, he will have to pay a heavy price.
--Even, you may not win.
"Damn it!"
Meng Xian cursed lowly, and the offensive became more and more fierce.
Several hundred feet away from the battlefield, on a higher ridge.
Three figures stood in the shadow of the ancient trees, looking far away at the messy woodland below.
The three of them have different costumes, and their auras are all extremely strong, even higher than those of Fang Han and Meng Xian.
One of them was wearing a moon-white robe, with a handsome face and an elegant temperament.
He held a long sheathed sword, the scabbard inlaid with seven gems, shining in the dappled sunlight that filtered through the branches and leaves.
It is Prodigy Ranking's second, Lingyun Sword Sect's top disciple - Liu Bai.
To his left, standing at a safe distance, was a tall and majestic young man.
Wearing a sleeveless short coat, revealing his strong bronze muscles, he carried a broad-bladed sword like a door panel on his shoulder, and his face was rough.
It is Prodigy Ranking's third, Tyrant Blade Sect's top disciple--Mad Blade.
If you stand at a distance, obviously the relationship between them is not good.
This is normal. Whether it is the sect relationship or the competition for Prodigy Ranking ranking, the two have a bad relationship.
To his right, stood a young man in his thirties.
The young man has a handsome face and a calm temperament, and his aura is so restrained that it is almost void.
He stood so casually, but seemed to blend into the surrounding environment.
It is Prodigy Ranking who is the first and the third son of the guarding governor - Yue Lingtian.
All three eyes fell on the two figures fighting fiercely below.
Below, Fang Han and Meng Xian are fighting to the fullest.
Sword Qi is crisscrossing, the claws are raging, and the powerful roar can still be heard clearly even though it is hundreds of feet away.
"Interesting."
Liu Bai spoke first, his voice as gentle as jade, but with a hint of surprise that was difficult to conceal.
"Meng Xian's strength is only slightly stronger than the rumors. The Nether Palm who has been practicing is already Perfection Realm. Ordinary Fourth Grade Late Stage warriors may not be able to withstand a few moves under him."
He paused and his eyes fell on Fang Han.
"And that Fang Han of the Azure Profound Sect can actually fight to this extent with Meng Xian, and it seems that... he doesn't fall behind?"
Mad Blade didn't speak, just stared at the battle situation below with his eyes.
He watched Fang Han withstand Meng Xian's palm force again and again, watched Fang Han strike back fiercely again and again, and watched the wounds on the two of them continue to grow.
After a long time, he spoke slowly, his voice was low, with a somewhat complicated meaning.
"This Fang Han... is progressing too fast."
He remembered that at the beginning of last year, Fang Han was only ranked ninety-fourth, belonging to the bottom.
At the beginning of this year, Fang Han had jumped to 55th.
How long has it been now? February has not yet ended, and this person has already been able to compete head-on with Meng Xian, the seventeenth member of Prodigy Ranking, without falling behind.
This speed of progress...
Mad Blade gripped the giant knife on his shoulder tightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his rough face that even he himself had not noticed.
pressure.
He felt the pressure.
Although he was ranked third by Prodigy Ranking, Fang Han was just able to compete with Meng Xian who was ranked seventeenth, and there was still a huge gap between him and him.
But at this rate of progress... catching up is inevitable!
