Wang Yao's eyes were full of gossip as she followed Jiang Fan's afterimage, teasingly saying, "You still say you and that little girl from the Lan Family are just ordinary friends, not even close? Phantom Gale Leg is a closely guarded secret of the Lan Family. That little girl from the Lan Family even passed on such a secret technique to him, and you still say you're not close?"
The fat man next to him heard everything clearly, his two beady eyes wide open, burning with a fierce gossip-loving fire.
"But that doesn't seem right either."
Wang Yao frowned as she looked at it.
"What's wrong?" the fat man asked, puzzled.
"It feels a little different, yet very similar..."
Fatty???
Many people, including Yuanwu, recognized that Jiang Fan used the Lan Family's Phantom Gale Leg, but upon closer inspection, it didn't quite look like it, and they weren't sure for a moment.
After Jin Yi used his family's unique secret technique Storm Mountain-Breaking Form, he discovered that Jiang Fan had dodged it, and that his footwork was so exquisite and so familiar.
" Phantom Gale Leg! How do you know the Lan Family's Phantom Gale Leg?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't use Phantom Gale Leg."
Normally, Jiang Fan wouldn't bother talking to the enemy during a battle, but on this matter, he had to offer some explanation.
Jin Yi carefully observed Jiang Fan's gait, sharing the same thought as those present who recognized him.
It's very similar, yet not quite.
If you insist that Jiang Fan used a pirated version of the Phantom Gale Leg, the effect he achieved seems to be even better than the original Lan Family version.
Without giving Jin Yi time to think, Jiang Fan, wielding an alloy broadsword, slashed down diagonally, aiming for Jin Yi's neck.
not good!
After realizing what was happening, Jin Yi hurriedly used his axe to block, but he was no match for the force of the blow and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Before he could even regain his footing, a blade flashed past, aimed straight for his throat, startling Jin Yi so much that his blood seemed to freeze, and he parried again.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan suddenly withdrew his strike midway, turned around, and slashed back at Jin Yi's lower body.
"Ah!"
A bloodcurdling scream erupted from Jin Yi's mouth; without even looking, he knew he would never be able to continue his family line.
The audience gasped in shock at what they saw.
Men, in particular, whether old or young, all felt a strange, empathetic sadness.
"I want you dead! I want you dead!"
With this frenzied roar, Jin Yi's aura suddenly surged, and golden light flashed in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, alarm bells rang in Jiang Fan's mind. He retreated repeatedly, widening the distance between himself and the other party, and stared warily at the strange changes happening to Jin Yi.
After a breath, the golden light receded into his eyes, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his dark brown pupils.
Moreover, Jin Yi's body was covered with a layer of golden patterns.
" Brother Thigh, be careful! This is the Jin Family's World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body! It's an extremely domineering body-refining technique!" Zhou Yanchen shouted at the stage.
Zhou Zhengjiao's brows furrowed into a deep frown, his eyes filled with surprise.
"I never expected that the illegitimate son of the Jin Family would be so talented. He's only twenty years old and has already mastered the first level of the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body, Skin Forging. Jiang Fan is about to face a tough battle."
Zhou Yanchen was already anxious, and now that he heard his second uncle say this, he was even more anxious and kept scratching his head.
"So, does that mean Brother Thigh has no chance of winning?"
"That's not entirely true." If Zhou Zhengjiao hadn't witnessed Jiang Fan's astonishing combat prowess, he would have undoubtedly believed Jiang Fan had no chance of winning. "It all depends on how long Jin Yi can maintain his World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body state."
Activating the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body requires mobilizing a large amount of Qi and blood within the body to maintain it. Once the Qi and blood cannot keep up, the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body state will naturally be exited.
When his strength declines, it will be the best time for Jiang Fan to launch a counterattack.
Of course, during the activation of the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body, the body's strength increases several times, and the attack power also increases exponentially. Although Zhou Zhengjiao told Zhou Yanchen that whether Jiang Fan could win depended on how long Jin Yi could maintain the state under the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body, it would actually be more accurate to say how long Jiang Fan could persist under the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body activated by Jin Yi.
With Zhou Yanchen's reminder, Jiang Fan dared not be careless, nor did he dare to rashly test the waters.
At this moment, the fat man shouted, "With his strength and the power of his 'World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body,' he shouldn't be able to hold on for long. Brother Fan, hang in there!"
Jin Kai snorted coldly, "It's useless to remind him. Even if my cousin can only hold out for a short time, it will be enough for him to kill Jiang Fan."
After saying that, he shouted at Jin Yi on the stage, "Don't waste time, kill him!"
Jin Yi nodded, then without further delay, he darted to Jiang Fan's side, and as he arrived, so did his axe.
"Clang!"
The axe blade slammed down heavily, striking the alloy broadsword that Jiang Fan had raised above his head.
Jiang Fan felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter from that blow.
Especially the shoulder blades, where the wounds from the Pseudo Spirit Weapon hadn't fully healed to begin with, showed signs of shattering after this attack.
"You actually managed to block it! I'd like to see just how many moves you can withstand!"
As Jin Yi's vicious and arrogant voice fell, the heavy axe spun and swept horizontally, aiming for Jiang Fan's waist.
Jiang Fan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he leaped up, barely dodging the attack.
Seeing this, Jin Yi's lips curled into a wicked smile, as if his scheme had succeeded.
"Go to hell!"
Before Jiang Fan could regain his footing, Jin Yi raised his axe above his head with both hands, channeled his inner energy, and brought it down fiercely.
In the rush, Jiang Fan had no choice but to hold the knife to his head again.
"Clang!!!"
The moment they made contact, the alloy broadsword visibly sank a significant amount, followed by the user's feet continuously retreating until they finally stopped at the edge of the ring.
At this moment, Jiang Fan's face was completely bloodless, a mouthful of metallic sweetness rose in his throat, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
" Brother Fan!"
" Brother Thigh!"
The fat man and Zhou Yanchen shouted in unison, their faces full of anxiety. If they hadn't been held back by Wang Yao and Zhou Zhengjiao respectively, they probably would have rushed over without a care in the world.
"Hahaha--" Jin Kai laughed wildly, and the anger that had been building up in his heart dissipated.
Jiang Fan, let's see if you don't die now!
On the stage, Jiang Fan's left hand was bulging with veins and swollen with muscles, trembling incessantly.
Because the wound on his left shoulder blade had reopened, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Of course, the Jin Family's World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body is indeed far too domineering and powerful.
While his physical strength might not be the strongest among his peers, he could certainly act as a tank in a squad, but it paled in comparison to the World-Shaking Meteoric Metal Body.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Psychic Power must absolutely not be used.
As for Big Black, even if Big Black had fully recovered from the injury caused by the Pseudo Spirit Weapon, it still couldn't be summoned in front of Wang Yao and Fatty.
It seems he still has too few cards to play.
Once this Life-and-Death Arena is over, he will definitely contract another high-level demonic beast, no matter what method he has to use.
"Was he injured before?" Wang Yao noticed the blood stains on Jiang Fan's back, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
The location of this injury seems... a bit too coincidental...
