CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 203 "CHANGE THE PLACE... DO IT... GENTLY, HISS... I’LL MAKE YOU BEG.

Aren’t you worried that talking will reduce the effect of the Breathing Technique?

Lu Jin’an thought, stepping back rhythmically, lifting his hands as he retreated.

Blocking, dodging, counterattacking, or confronting directly.

With the perfect blend of hardness and softness, a series of muffled sounds spread from the bodies clashing, like thunder.

The figure up high frowned slightly, then after another kick, ascended even higher.

The hem of the black brocade danced against the wind, flipping in the air, soft yet strong.

The world suddenly grew dim, the wild winds of autumn rising everywhere, but she alone shone brilliantly.

"Ten Directions·Star Fall!"

In the next second, she adjusted her angle mid-air and kicked towards Lu Jin’an like a falling meteor.

Amidst a sharp explosive sound, Lu Jin’an faced the ferocious attack, lowered his waist, and clenched his fists, blooming with purple lightning and blue light.

He contracted his abdomen, inhaled, gathered strength, and then raised his fists.

His whole body erupted with green thunder, tearing apart the autumn wind.

Lu Jin’an stepped forward three times, under the boiling blood and Vigorous Force, he threw punches with purple light, like dragons and snakes entwining.

Purple Qi envelops the vast heaven and earth!

All his fist strikes aimed at the opponent’s position, bursting forth with such speed that despite not touching the ground, the ground was plowed into a deep trench by the Vigorous Force.

The entire area of several hundred meters around was reduced to dust under the concentrated fist strikes, as Lu Jin’an mercilessly charged towards the opponent’s knee.

However, under this fierce and domineering punch, the figure in mid-air twisted firmly, turning the flying kick into a twisting horizontal kick amidst dense breathing!

Surprised flashed in Lu Jin’an’s eyes; this person switched moves without being backlashed by Qi and blood?

Is it because of an unusually strong physique or the Breathing Technique?

With this thought fleeting through his mind, Lu Jin’an also twisted his waist, redirected the force of his swinging fists while each hand traced a half-circle, applying the Four Ounces Moves a Thousand Pounds technique on the opponent’s calf.

Bang!

In the dull sound of palm and leg colliding with flesh, though Lu Jin’an managed to deflect much of the opponent’s force, he could not stop her overwhelming kick.

Lu Jin’an’s large hands naturally slid down along her thigh, turning the palm into a fist striking her abdomen while leveraging her kick to retreat again.

But the next second, he reversed his previous defensive counterattack, charging forward aggressively.

Clap clap clap...

The sound of fists and feet hitting flesh echoed the next instant, as Lu Jin’an who closed in without reservation unleashed all his martial achievements acquired over the years.

No Spiritual Power, no spells, purely physical brawl.

Though Lu Jin’an initiated the dense and uninterrupted offensive, he couldn’t suppress the opponent.

True, Lu Jin’an’s path in Body Refinement ranks first among the younger generation today, but his hand-to-hand combat experience pales compared to his spells and Swordsmanship.

And the opponent he met now, was a genuine, pure Body Cultivation practitioner.

Within the opponent’s body, Vigorous Force surpassed Spiritual Power; purely via the path of Body Refinement had they become as powerful as he!

"Break!"

The opponent let out a low shout and their body slightly turned, raising their right foot.

With a simple motion, a mighty force converged in her leg.

One kick broke through Lu Jin’an’s perpetual offensive, piercing his guard and heading straight for his heart.

A sound like tearing air resounded, the shockwaves rippled like water.

Lu Jin’an’s expression grew heavier; indeed, this person’s Body Refining Method was profound, not only enhancing the physique but also merging the world’s mighty forces through breathing.

The heat of flames, the chill of drifting snow, the weight of mountains... he knew of many Body Techniques communicating with the world, but such an impeccable fusion of Body Refining and great forces, he had never encountered.

Fascinating.

Lu Jin’an’s eyes sparkled brighter, wearing a faint smile, he did not retreat but advanced, wanting to see more of this person’s Breathing Technique.

Boom!

Sticking out his chest and taking the kick under the protection of Vigorous Force with a crisp cracking sound of bone, he took a sudden step forward.

Blood and Qi roared inside him, and the red Vigorous Force burst out around him like a fog.

Using oneself as a seed, Open Acupoint!

Boom!

Amidst the leg wind like a landslide, the air currents surged around Lu Jin’an, whose acupoint had exploded within, releasing a steaming hum.

He firmly grasped the opponent’s ankle, delivering a powerful punch to her abdomen.

Seeing Lu Jin’an’s punch, her pupils contracted, and her previously calm expression changed slightly, using the gripped right leg’s ankle as support, her body leaned back, extending and retracting the right leg to kick at Lu Jin’an’s face.

The fierce Qi force tore the air, yet Lu Jin’an remained expressionless, pressing the gripped right ankle downward.

Quickly crouching on his haunches, the left leg of the opponent went over his head, smashing his hair crown.

As the bound hair flew wildly, Lu Jin’an forcibly pressed her right leg into the ground and slammed an emotionless punch at her abdomen.

Rumble...

The ground cracked, smoke and dust rose.

In Lu Jin’an’s sight, aside from the tattered clothing strips, was the opponent’s fierce spinning kick initiated using the ground as an axis.

She directly ignored the gripped ankle, kicking straight with her left leg at Lu Jin’an’s temple, seemingly unafraid even if the bone were twisted to break.

Aside from a trace of excitement, Lu Jin’an’s eyes were calm, not dodging at all, he turned the fist struck at her abdomen into a palm, inhaling deeply while his wrist suddenly exerted force.

Concentrated Vigorous Force blast!

Her face darkened, retracting her offensive immediately; as she bent her waist to crouch, her upper body rose forward to deliver a vicious headbutt.

Bang!

Their foreheads collided, echoing like a bell.

It seemed an invisible ripple of energy spread from their foreheads, tearing through the air.

Lu Jin’an released her ankle, allowing her to hurriedly retreat, nearly falling in instability.

She shook her head, seemingly dizzy, and a large swell appeared on her forehead.

Lu Jin’an didn’t immediately stand, for a large bump appeared on his forehead, his head buzzing.

"Phew..."

She adjusted her breathing frequency, seemingly easing her headache.

The previously intact brocade on her chest burst open from the waist, revealing a tight, well-toned and powerful waist resembling a leopardess’s power.

Up to the upper part of the buttocks, one could faintly see the white curve.

Standing still, though exposing only a bit of her waist, the rising and falling waist and abdominal curves breathed showed the beautiful flexibility belonging to a woman within strength.

She wasn’t a demon beast, yet as Lu Jin’an stood up slowly, he saw a hint of wild beauty from her.

Sharp, determined, agile.

Lu Jin’an clenched his hands, his gaze swept over the legs wrapped in black silk pants.

Despite the loose silk pants, the sleek, long muscle curves like those of a leopardess could vaguely be seen.

These legs were indeed very powerful in attack.

Lu Jin’an raised a hand to rub the bump on his forehead, his eyes even more excited.

If guessed correctly, the Body Refinement path does not solely encompass the Dao Palace Nine Stars, there are other methods.

Just like cultivating Spiritual Power has Sword Dao, Yin-Yang Dao, Incense Fire Dao...

Body Refinement also has different methods.

Lu Jin’an watched the cross-dressing figure opposite, with her tall physique, strong and flexible waist, and leg lines, who without the fierce combat earlier, one wouldn’t realize she is a woman exuding extraordinary strength.

However, the solid, flowing, flexible muscles lines were still quite dangerous.

Lu Jin’an softly exhaled, extending his right hand in an inviting gesture: "Continue."

She squinted slightly, scrutinizing the disheveled Lu Jin’an, raising a hand to rub the bump on her forehead: "Why did you kill the Lingbao Mountain demon beasts?"

While asking, she retrieved and donned a new outer garment.

Once secured with a belt covering her waist, there was a slight chill in her eyes: "I need an explanation from you, before deciding...

Whether to break your limbs or imprison and torture you by other means."

Lu Jin’an’s brow furrowed imperceptibly, yet before he could respond, the Buddha Light had already approached from the horizon.

She glanced at the cloak on Lu Jin’an, then raised her thumb to point in a backward direction: "Let’s change places...

I’ll... kill you."

She seemed to have bit her tongue.
