Chapter 73: Intense Battle, Breakthrough of Dragon Subduing Palm (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Xu Yan's strength is indeed not weak, and his Dragon Subduing Palm technique is unmatched in its ferocity. However, in terms of battle experience, he is naturally far inferior to Bloodless Heart.

As Xu Yan executed his Dragon Subduing Palm, a momentary flaw suddenly appeared above his head. Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat as he realized the problem.

However, this fleeting opportunity was enough to determine life and death and victory or defeat for Bloodless Heart, who had rich battle experience and had gone through life and death battles.

His figure soared through the air, and his long knife emitted a chilling cold light as it descended from mid-air.

In that instant, Xu Yan felt his scalp tingle and his hairs stand on end. A strong sense of crisis suddenly descended upon him, and in that moment, he realized that it was too late to defend with his palm.

In his mind, an image of the Eight Trigrams Diagram involuntarily appeared. In this moment of crisis, a flash of inspiration struck him. His footsteps crossed over, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from his original position.

The next moment, he had already appeared several zhang away.

Boom!

A trench appeared on the ground as Bloodless Heart's knife fiercely struck the ground.

His heart sank!

At such a critical moment, the opponent actually evaded his attack. And what kind of footwork was that?

At this moment, Xu Yan was still filled with lingering fear. His heart was pounding intensely, and his blood was boiling. A giant dragon coiled around his body, its power growing stronger and stronger.

He had almost died just now!

If it weren't for the moment of crisis when the image of the Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared in his mind, and he suddenly gained enlightenment, realizing a new footwork, he would have definitely been unable to dodge that strike.

At this moment, he was filled with shock and anger.

His figure moved, and he disappeared from his original position as if teleporting. In an instant, he had arrived by Bloodless Heart's side, and his Dragon Subduing Palm struck out with a loud boom.

Shifting positions!

Boom!

Bloodless Heart's gaze turned icy, and his long knife unleashed its technique, the blade technique unfolding with a cold and eerie aura. The chilling knife qi crisscrossed and constantly pressed forward, continuously annihilating one Dragon Subduing Palm force after another.

This forced Xu Yan to constantly use the technique of shifting positions to dodge and change his position.

Threads of blood-devouring silk spread out from within Xu Yan's body as Bloodless Heart attacked, covering the surroundings like a giant web.

Xu Yan's gaze became serious. The opponent's strength slightly surpassed his own.

Especially that fierce blade technique and the cold and eerie aura were extremely strange.

If it weren't for his vast and fiery blood and his ability to ignore the invasion of the cold aura, his physical movements would have likely become stiff by now, greatly reducing his combat power.

Xu Yan furrowed his brows, and the battle became increasingly intense. His mind became clearer, free of any distractions, and he wholeheartedly immersed himself in the battle.

In his mind, the image of the Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared, and with each step, he changed his position.

The technique of shifting positions became more and more proficient as the battle went on.

Boom!

The domineering force of the Dragon Subduing Palm was once again shattered by the opponent's blade.

The sharp blade light came slashing towards Xu Yan, who once again shifted positions to dodge.

At this moment, the mantra of the Dragon Subduing Palm appeared in his mind.

His blood and qi boiled even more intensely, and he felt as if he were in a state of excitement. Suddenly, he let out a roar, and his palms pushed out in an alternating manner. A massive force of the Dragon Subduing Palm erupted, splitting into eighteen giant dragons that instantly enveloped Bloodless Heart.

Dragon Subduing Palm, perfected!

Bloodless Heart became increasingly alarmed as the battle continued. The opponent's realm should be lower than his, and his strength should be inferior.

However, the unrivaled power of the palm technique was astonishing, and even when he tried to annihilate the palm force, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Moreover, with each transformation of the dragon-shaped palm force, it formed a combined attack against him.

"This kid is a bit troublesome. He doesn't fear my Blood Demon Qi at all, and he can even restrain my Blood Demon Qi!"

That fiery blood, which was as intense as fire, continuously evaporated his cold aura.

The more this happened, the stronger his desire became. As long as he devoured the opponent, his strength would be able to advance further.

He had never seen a Martial Artist with such powerful blood and qi.

That pure and refined blood contained immense spiritual resonance.

Among the Martial Artists in the Inner Domain, no one had such pure blood.

Even the Grandmasters did not!

The eighteen giant dragons attacked together, and Bloodless Heart's blade light surged. In an instant, it swept through like a violent wind, shattering the Dragon Subduing Palm force and increasing its speed to the extreme as it fiercely attacked Xu Yan.

One slash after another, as he launched fierce attacks, Xu Yan once again fell into a disadvantage.

And yet, he continued to use the technique of shifting positions to dodge, but he remained calm. His gaze was firm as he stared fixedly at Bloodless Heart.

The jade bones shine brightly, and the qi and blood seem endless.

"...with its power, it shocks the world, with its anger, it astonishes heaven and earth."

Suddenly, the mantra of the Dragon Subduing Palm appeared in Xu Yan's mind, and he had a sudden realization during the battle.

"My Dragon Subduing Palm, although powerful and seemingly unrivaled, lacks true 'power' and cannot shock the world.

"With its power, it shocks the world, with its anger, it astonishes heaven and earth. How can it astonish heaven and earth without anger? My Dragon Subduing Palm lacks 'power' and 'anger', and only anger can astonish heaven and earth."

Xu Yan's mind became clear, and he had a realization. In an instant, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Dragon Subduing Palm, as if he had broken through a bottleneck.

Suddenly, his figure paused, and he pushed out a palm.

This palm was different from before.

At the moment the palm force was released, it seemed to make a roaring sound, and a chilling power surged out.

This dragon-shaped palm force was more solid and had a divine charm.

The speed also increased in an instant.

Roar!

The giant dragon opened its mouth, as if roaring, and suddenly rushed towards Blood Wu Xin.

"Slash!"

Blood Wu Xin's heart trembled, and he slashed with his knife. However, the palm force was not cut off by the slash, but there was a mighty power, like a giant mountain crashing down, with undiminished momentum, and the dragon tail swept across.

"Not good!"

Blood Wu Xin's face slightly changed, and his figure leaped up to avoid this attack.

Boom!

Another giant dragon rushed over.

Then, one after another, the giant dragons kept roaring and coming, each emitting a chilling power. Blood Wu Xin's heart tightened as he looked at Xu Yan in shock.

"Has he broken through?"

What a monster!

Xu Yan exhaled a breath of anger, his eyes revealing a cold light. He understood!

The Dragon Subduing Palm had broken through a bottleneck and entered a new level.

"With its anger, it astonishes heaven and earth. I still can't make the dragon-shaped palm force truly angry, truly possess the aura of 'anger', but I can show this anger in another way!"

Xu Yan looked at Blood Wu Xin, who was being suppressed in the combined attack of the Dragon Subduing Palm force, and now it was his turn.

Let this Martial Artist, who seemed to be at the Innate Realm, but came from who knows where, witness the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

"My current Dragon Subduing Palm should be the second level, right? I have broken through the realm of the Dragon Subduing Palm and entered the second level.

"Unfortunately, I am only at the Lifeblood Realm and completely unable to display the power that the second level should have.

"But it's enough to deal with this guy!"

Xu Yan realized that he had cultivated the Dragon Subduing Palm to the second level.

Boom!

The combined attack of eighteen giant dragons hit Blood Wu Xin. Just as Blood Wu Xin was about to unleash a chilling blade aura to annihilate the palm force, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Danger!

A strong sense of crisis emerged in an instant.

The combat experience honed in life and death crises made him decisively control his qi and soar into the air, the blade light sweeping up, intending to break free from the combined attack.

But it was already too late!

Boom!

With a loud explosion, all eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm forces erupted at once, the giant dragons exploded, and the violent power instantly struck Blood Wu Xin.

Blood Wu Xin's face changed, and with a low shout, a gloomy aura surrounded him as the long knife stirred up layers of blade energy, resisting the fierce and violent power.

He never expected that the eighteen giant dragons could explode instantly and condense an unparalleled and violent power.

"This doesn't seem right!

"This is not a normal Martial Artist at all. How can there be such a technique?"

Even a grandmaster in the Inner Domain would not be able to make the palm force explode at the necessary moment.

Once the palm force is released, how can it be controlled freely?

It's simply impossible!

This borderland youth is not right!

What kind of technique is this?

Boom!

The Knife Gang cracks, the unrivaled power of the Dragon Subduing Palm, along with the attached intense aura, seems to evaporate the cold aura on his body.

Making Blood Wu Xin extremely uncomfortable.

"I will definitely kill you!"

Blood Wu Xin said viciously in a miserable state.

However, what greeted him were eighteen giant dragons, once again forming a combined attack.

Boom!

"Do you think you're worthy of killing me?"

Xu Yan's expression was excited, completely ignoring Blood Wu Xin's threat.

One palm after another, each time it was a combined attack of eighteen giant dragons, instantly exploding and forming an incredibly powerful force, descending upon Blood Wu Xin.

This means that he condensed the power of eighteen giant dragon palm strikes into an instant eruption.

This instant eruption is the realization of Xu Yan's 'anger'.

Due to his weak strength, he couldn't fully manifest it, so he could only present the power of 'anger' in this way.

The effect is extremely good.

"My realization is indeed correct!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited in his heart.

This intense battle was quite rewarding.

He understood the principle of shifting positions.

After reaching the pinnacle of the Dragon Subduing Palm, he once again broke through and realized the second level of the Dragon Subduing Palm!

Boom!

Xu Yan's blood and qi seemed endless as he continuously struck Blood Wu Xin with one palm after another.

At this moment, Blood Wu Xin was in a passive state, repeatedly trying to break free but being blasted back by the eighteen giant dragons.

What shocked him even more was that the opponent's palm strikes were becoming stronger and stronger.

He even sensed a kind of 'anger' from the palm strikes.

Absurd!

It was truly absurd!

However, such an absurd scene actually appeared before him.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, Blood Wu Xin felt a sense of emptiness.

His injuries had somewhat relapsed.

The consumption was too great.

"Damn it, can't he run out of energy?"

Blood Wu Xin was shocked and furious.

As a grandmaster Martial Artist, he was actually unable to do anything to a young man in the border wilderness, and instead, he was being beaten miserably!

Even in the inner domain, Blood Wu Xin was a renowned master of the Devil Dao Sect!

If this were to spread, who would believe it?

"I can't continue fighting like this!"

Blood Wu Xin knew that if he continued to be passively beaten, he would eventually be worn down to death.

He might even be killed by the opponent.

He could sense that the opponent's palm strikes were becoming more ferocious and domineering, and their power was becoming stronger and stronger.

These dragon-shaped palm strikes became more and more solid, and in the midst of the explosions, the violent power faintly carried a sense of 'anger'.

"Bind!"

Blood Wu Xin's long knife swept up the Knife Gang, and the cold aura on his body suddenly became denser.

Covering the battlefield, the densely packed vampire threads, like spider webs, suddenly contracted and bound Xu Yan.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Xu Yan was startled. Although the densely packed threads, with their cold aura, were constantly melting under his intense blood and qi, there were just too many of them.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was actually trapped within the opponent's carefully arranged silk net.

"I was careless! Inexperienced!" Xu Yan sighed in his heart.

However, he remained calm.

These silk threads looked sinister, but despite their power, they should not be able to withstand his strong qi and blood.

Boom!

A hundred zhang of qi and blood surged out, a giant dragon coiled around it, carrying a terrifying momentum as it swept towards the looming giant net.

One by one, the silk threads shattered and disappeared.

In the end, the entire giant net was dissolved by the qi and blood.

Blood Wu Xin took the opportunity to break free.

He didn't expect the Bloodsucking Vampire Silk to be able to threaten Xu Yan, but it was only meant to distract Xu Yan's power and allow him to escape.

At this moment, he soared above a hundred zhang in the air.

Looking down at Xu Yan, a wave of knife light swept down.

Xu Yan leaped up and struck out with a palm.

However, his Lifeblood Realm was unable to soar in the air. Even though leaping a hundred zhang was not a problem, Blood Wu Xin could easily create distance between them, making it impossible for Xu Yan to get closer.

With his hopping and jumping, he was already at a disadvantage.

The attack range of the Dragon Subduing Palm was only a hundred zhang.

Blood Wu Xin attacked him from beyond a hundred zhang, with chilling knife qi pouring down continuously.

Xu Yan could only defend passively, using the Dragon Subduing Palm to block the attacks.

Occasionally, he leaped up, trying to get close to Blood Wu Xin, but the experienced Blood Wu Xin would not let his advantage slip away and immediately flew far away.

As a result, Xu Yan fell into a passive state.

In mid-air, waves of knife light poured down, cold and terrifying, slashing out gullies on the ground.

On the ground, crimson dragons rose into the air, striking against the knife light. The attacks collided in mid-air, creating a resounding roar.

The battle continued.

The relay station had already been completely destroyed, leaving no trace behind.

This official road also collapsed during the battle and was no longer passable.

There were gullies crisscrossing the ground, and huge pits one after another.

The surrounding mountains and forests had also been completely destroyed.

"I, Blood Wu Xin, am a Martial Artist at the Grandmaster Realm. I don't believe I can't exhaust you to death!"

A sinister look appeared in Blood Wu Xin's eyes.

He was willing to pay any price to kill this person.

Devouring his essence and blood would be worth any cost.

Boom!

"Hmph, let's see what you can do to me!"

Xu Yan looked up at Blood Wu Xin in mid-air.

His eyes still filled with fighting spirit, if he could soar in the air, he would definitely slap the opponent to death!

At this moment, the strength of his Jade Bone Realm's Martial Dao Foundation was showing its power.

The qi and blood surged, constantly surging. Even in such a fierce battle, Xu Yan's qi and blood remained undiminished, without any feeling of excessive consumption.

"Cough, cough..."

Blood Wu Xin started coughing.

The feeling of emptiness in his body became stronger, and his injuries were on the verge of relapse.

The consumption was too great.

Looking down below, Xu Yan's fighting spirit was still high, palm after palm striking out, full of energy, showing no signs of weakening. Blood Wu Xin wore a helpless expression.

It turns out that he, a Grandmaster, couldn't afford to consume like this!

Even though he was injured, he was still a Grandmaster!

Why would such a monster exist in this desolate land?
