Flesh Editing

As the fist, enveloped in a dark blue aura, drew ever closer, Xu Yuan knew he shouldn't take the punch head-on.

It is foolish for someone who cultivates Qi to directly confront someone who cultivates martial arts in a physical battle.

He had far too many other options to choose from.

You can use the Void-Stepping Slash to avoid its sharp edge, use the Clear Speech Sword Technique in your hand to counterattack the Barbarian King, and even condense a protective barrier in front of you.

But for some reason,

At that moment Xu Yuan wanted nothing more than to confront the Barbarian King head-on with his bare body.

Moreover, this seemingly instinctive desire suppressed his reason and fighting instincts.

In the seemingly frozen air, as the graceful figure flew backward, palm and fist collided violently in mid-air.

In silence,

The shattered ground and the resulting hurricane swept away everything in its path.

At this moment, a hint of surprise finally appeared in Chi Feng's deep eyes.

The minor cold season that ravaged the Three Northern Prefectures of the Great Yan was nothing compared to the Utterdark Lands.

To survive, even infants must begin physical training under the guidance of tribal elders.

Unable to adapt, the infant will die in this despair and cold.

This harsh climate limited the Barbarian Tribe population and the paths of cultivation Barbarian Tribe could choose, but it also forged their exceptionally resilient physical bodies.

Within the same rank, the Barbarian Tribe's physical strength is comparable only to certain monsters Demon Race in the Ancient Abyss, in all the vast world.

But at this moment,

His fist was actually blocked by this human whose cultivation level was inferior to his.

Oh no, it should be Strange Ghost.

The punch thrown by the towering figure was blocked by Xu Yuan's rather slender arm.

The struggle between Xu Yuan and the Barbarian King caused the surrounding air to vibrate, and the dark blue and scarlet Source Qi flowed wildly in all directions in streaks!

However, Chi Feng's eyes only showed a slight surprise.

"Hiss"

He opened his lips and exhaled a breath of air into his lungs. The dark blue barbarian patterns around Chi Feng suddenly shone brightly, and a dazzling halo abruptly surrounded his muscular arms!

"Boom!!!!"

The sudden, immense force snapped Xu Yuan's supporting arm inch by inch, and the remaining force of his punch blasted a crater two feet in diameter and tens of feet deep into the ground below!

And this is just the beginning.

In the instant the balance was lost, Xu Yuan's body tilted uncontrollably to the left for a moment.

Taking advantage of this moment,

Chi Feng suddenly exerted force with his feet, and the stone surface shattered instantly. His other muscular leg transformed into a ghostly blue afterimage that arced through the darkness as Xu Yuan slashed down.

But just before it reached Xu Yuan's body, a sudden change occurred: a halo of light, just like before, surrounded Chi Feng's calf.

immediately,

The power and speed of the whip kick exploded even further, slashing directly at Xu Yuan's right shoulder!

"Crash!"

There was no blood or flesh flying everywhere, but Xu Yuan's entire right shoulder bone, along with the bones and flesh below, collapsed, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

His left hand was crippled, and his right shoulder bone was shattered and collapsed. Even for Mortal Shedding, this would be considered a serious injury!

"Changtian!!"

After being escorted out, Li Qingyan leaned against the inner wall of the cave, her naked body wrapped in a padded jacket, her snow-white skin peeking out from beneath in the hurricane. However, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the figure in the center of the battlefield, which appeared extremely small compared to the Barbarian King's massive and tall figure.

But the next moment,

The worry in her eyes turned into a look of surprise and uncertainty.

The blood-red figure remained standing, though leaning slightly more to one side.

In the silence, Xu Yuan slowly raised his scarlet eyes, which had no whites.

immediately,

He slowly straightened up, carrying the Barbarian King's leg that had slashed across his right shoulder.

And in this process,

A series of soft, crackling sounds echoed within the silent cave.

The broken left arm was forcibly straightened amidst the eerie rustling sounds, while the collapsed right shoulder bone gradually pushed up the calf that Chi Feng had chopped off, and then restored it.

Standing up straight, Xu Yuan slowly reached out to grab the Barbarian King's calf.

"Bang!"

Chi Feng stomped his foot and retreated for the first time.

He swiftly created distance between himself and the eerie, Blood-robed Man before him.

Everything restored

Xu Yuan casually patted his right shoulder, which had just been bruised and bruised, and grinned at the Barbarian King before him, revealing his fangs.

"Chi Feng, your attacks are like cotton; could you be any stronger?"

Chi Feng stood still, his deep blue eyes fixed on Xu Yuan with a thoughtful expression.

"Even if you are Strange Ghost, my 'fist intent' should be able to hinder your recovery, so it was because of your clothes just now?"

"I went to great lengths to absorb those fungal carpets; surely it wasn't just for amusement?"

Xu Yuan grinned, then reached out and pulled open the sleeve of the Blood Jade Glazed Robe, but his eyes then froze slightly.

That's all.

The brownish-red Fungal Armor that had been attached to his body disappeared.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

Creep is a byproduct of the Strange Ghost, and the body most compatible with the Fungal Armor is naturally that of Strange Ghost. It is highly likely that the Black Death Fungal Armor has already merged into his body.

But the problem is,

Even the slightest change in such a personal item is clearly perceptible to a mortal through their skin, let alone to him, now Mortal Shedding Strange Ghost.

Why is he completely oblivious?

"Arrogant human, how could you be distracted while fighting me, the king?"

The sound accompanied Chi Feng's towering figure as he arrived, followed by another powerful and heavy whip kick!

This time, two halos appeared around Chi Feng's afterimage-like leg movements.

If this kick lands, even Mortal Shedding Realm expert would be either killed or seriously injured.

Xu Yuan's mind was still in thought, but his body moved unconsciously.

He still didn't use his sword, and he still didn't conjure Method Formula.

In the silence,

Raise your hand,

Swing,

It hit the Barbarian King's shin right in the shin!

Boom!!!

The ground cracked and sank, and a shockwave spread outwards.

The Barbarian King's figure flew backward from the rising smoke, sliding across the ground for dozens of feet before coming to a stop, with fine cracks appearing on the stratum corneum of his calves.

Xu Yuan remained standing in the crater that had been dented and cracked by the clash of energies, calmly examining his arm, which had been severed in the direct confrontation with Chi Feng.

His left forearm was in a bizarre twist, with only the skin and flesh barely holding the severed part together.

Its internal skeleton was completely broken, and you could even faintly see the broken white bone protruding from the flesh.

Clearly, even with the Crimson-level Black Death Fungal Armor, Xu Yuan's physical strength is still far inferior to that of the Barbarian King Chi Feng.

But that doesn't matter. He wasn't a martial arts practitioner who cultivated body tempering through martial arts. Apart from the sword techniques, the rest of the Blood Origin Heart-Fall Technique Method Formula not suitable for close combat.

Xu Yuan's current concern is that his body seems to be on the verge of spiraling out of control.

Even the pain of having his forearm completely severed was barely enough to stimulate his senses.

His bodily sensations were gradually fading from his consciousness.

and,

His act of blocking the Barbarian King's whip kick with his arm was not of his own volition, but rather a movement of his body.

While pondering,

Xu Yuan's severed forearm was turned upright by a strange force. He subconsciously clenched his fist and found that the arm had been restored to its original state.

Chi Feng Chi Feng stood up from the ground and, seeing Xu Yuan's arm restored, slowly exhaled.

"I was wondering why the 'fist intent' couldn't stop your injuries from healing themselves; now I see."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan raised his eyes, his scarlet pupils glancing at the other person:

"Oh? What have you noticed this time?"

The Barbarian King stared at his fully healed forearm and uttered a sentence:

"Forced splicing; you didn't show this ability before. It must be the armor fused into your body."

"."

A hint of interest flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.

He had only just realized what his self-healing ability was, but he didn't expect the Barbarian King to see it so easily.

Should I say he truly possesses the vision befitting a king of a clan?

The fist intent contained in each of Chi Feng's strikes clung to his wounds like maggots on bones, and the life force that the Strange Ghost used to repair their bodies could not heal his wounds immediately.

In other words, his current self-healing does not come from his Strange Ghost constitution, but from the crimson Fungal Armor has merged into his body.

When he was injured, the Fungal Armor inside his body secreted a substance that forcibly sealed his wound together.

It was like sculpting a clay figure, forcibly blending everything inside him according to its original form.

Moreover, at this moment, Xu Yuan had another feeling.

He can transform his body into any other form whenever he wants.

Just like Luo Xiran

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan subconsciously looked at his left arm, and a word suddenly popped into his mind.

Flesh Editing.

"Coo coo coo coo."

After a sickeningly loud sound, Xu Yuan's newly recovered left arm transformed into a sharp, gleaming blade.

"."

Upon seeing this, a deep sense of worry appeared in Li Qingyan's crimson eyes.

His Strange Ghost transformation seems to have intensified.

Fortunately, the sharp blade transformed back into a human arm in the next moment, and Xu Yuan's laughing voice echoed through the silent cave:

"Chi Feng, you have good taste. The abilities this armor grants me are indeed quite useful. Do you want to continue fighting?"

Chi Feng watched the Blood-robed Man's every move and said slowly and deliberately:

"From the very beginning, I have already stated the conditions."

"Oh"

Xu Yuan chuckled and glanced at Li Qingyan, who was staring at him with worried eyes. "I would never give you my princess as a hostage."

"?"

Their eyes met, and a hint of doubt flashed in Li Qingyan's eyes, but she quickly realized what he meant and unconsciously let out a soft chuckle.

She understood the meaning behind the Barbarian King's words, and realized that he was deliberately saying it to her.

It was very deliberate.

However, it felt pretty good.

Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Chi Feng, and chuckled softly:

"Chi Feng, I've almost adapted to my current body. Just as you said, cooperation should be led by the strong. I can give you another chance, one more chance to cooperate. I hope you will cherish this."

Upon hearing the renewed proposal for cooperation, Chi Feng remained unmoved. Instead, realizing something, he asked:

"You don't have much time left?"

Xu Yuan's heart tightened, but his expression remained unchanged. He asked with a smile, "..."

What do you mean by "time is running out"?

Chi Feng slowly shifted to the side, his gaze fixed on the Blood-robed Man ahead. As he walked, he spoke in his deep, halting Great Yan language:

"I admit that you are now capable of threatening me, even killing me."

What had just happened made Chi Feng realize the tremendous changes that had taken place in Xu Yuan's body:

"But if you are truly strong enough to kill me, then killing that Mortal Shedding Strange Ghost in the deepest part of the Underground Palace shouldn't be too difficult for you now. If there were enough time, why do you insist on cooperating with me? Wouldn't it be a better choice to eliminate me in this Underground Palace?"

Xu Yuan stood still, chuckling softly as he shook his head.

"Chi Feng, mutual destruction is not in my interest. If I kill you, there's still that Mortal Shedding Strange Ghost behind you."

"No."

Chi Feng interrupted Xu Yuan, his voice low, cold, and profound:

"Xu Yuan, I do not reject lies, but a forced lie will make you look very bad."

"I have been in this cave for ten days, and I have seen your physical characteristics. You are able to control everything in this cave just like that Mortal Shedding Strange Ghost."

"As long as you can kill me, with your current Strange Ghost form, there is no question of mutual destruction."

Speaking of this,

Chi Feng stopped in his tracks, raised his finger, and pointed at Xu Yuan's bloodshot eyes:

"If my prediction is correct, your human consciousness is on the verge of collapse."

"." Xu Yuan.

"You still want to cooperate with me even now, probably because you want to go deep into the Underground Palace to retrieve something that will allow you to prolong your life, right?"

"." Xu Yuan.

After the Barbarian King's deep voice faded, only the howling wind remained in the cave.

After a while,

Xu Yuan smiled, looked up at the top of the cave, and took a deep breath.

"Clap clap. Clap."

Soft applause echoed outwards. Xu Yuan lowered his eyes, looking into the Barbarian King's deep blue pupils, and smiled:

"The Barbarian King Alien King are indeed troublesome. You're right, I really don't have much time left."

Upon hearing this, Chi Feng's deep voice rose slightly:

I thought you would deny it.

"To deny it in front of someone like you who, once they've made a judgment, is something they firmly believe in?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and spread his hands. "I won't do something so pointless."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan stared at him, speaking slowly and deliberately:

So, tell me, what's your answer?

Chi Feng's gaze remained unwavering as he calmly uttered two words:

"Conditions remain the same."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyan lowered his eyes and exhaled:

"Xu Yuan."

Xu Yuan glanced at her coldly:

"If you want to put on some kind of melodrama, shut the hell up."

"."

Li Qingyan rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "Why are you being so fierce? I won't say anything. Just be careful and don't die."

Having said that,

Li Qingyan's actions remained as swift and decisive as ever. In a flash, he grabbed Little White, who was cowering in the corner, by the back of the neck and disappeared into the tunnel exit.

With the two women gone, only two figures, one with blood and one with blue, remained facing each other in the tunnel blasted by the Source Crystal Bomb.

Xu Yuan stared at the once invincible, muscular figure, his crimson eyes blazing with killing intent.

Your choice is utterly foolish.

"Heh, I quite admire your choice."

A smile crept onto Chi Feng's rugged lips.

"Besides, you don't necessarily think you can defeat me, do you?"

"."

After he finished speaking, the cave fell silent.

In an instant, both sides moved.

I am fw
