Chapter 812: Fool's Bloody Battle (High Energy Chapter)

Zhao Xiaowan fell from the clouds, singing opera in the *xipi erliu* rhythm high above:

"Nine heavens' tribulation strikes my spine, twenty years of breathing in morning glow, three hundred years of bone-chilling frost — who would have thought wings would sprout from my back, tearing through flesh, grow quickly, grow!"

Zhao Xiaowan was desperate; she needed wings and was forcing them to grow using her sonic shapeshifting technique. However, she couldn't recall any opera verse about wings, so she had to improvise. She composed a new verse, but her singing wasn't very good, and the wings didn't grow.

The descent accelerated. Zhao Xiaowan also knew levitation techniques, but at this altitude, they were useless. She continued to sing: "These wingtips sweep away the Big Dipper's might, those wing-tails stir up the Milky Way's waves. Behold, ninety thousand *li* of wind and frost condense into wings, even the Thunder God and Lightning Mother can't catch up! This... this... what am I to do!"

The wings still hadn't grown. In a panic, Hong Ying rushed over, caught Zhao Xiaowan, and slowly decelerated their descent mid-air until they landed safely.

After landing, Zhao Xiaowan smiled at Hong Ying. "Yingying, you've worked hard."

Hong Ying laughed. "It's alright. The moment I used 'A Thousand Miles Apart,' I felt something was wrong, so I immediately retracted my power. Neither of us flew too far. After falling from the clouds, I quickly found my bearings. I used 'Seeking Fortune, Avoiding Calamity' to search for you everywhere, and I really did find you. Don't you think my luck is pretty good?"

Zhao Xiaowan smiled. "That's not luck, Yingying. You have great talent, and I admire your abilities. Yingying, your hair is undone. Let me re-do it for you."

Hong Ying was taken aback. Xiaowan was quite nonchalant. They had just fallen from the clouds, unaware of the situation above or their current location, yet she had the presence of mind to comb hair? But since Xiaowan mentioned it, she let her. It wouldn't be good if the "spear tip" was exposed.

Hong Ying walked closer to Zhao Xiaowan, turned around, and waited for her to comb her hair. Zhao Xiaowan pulled out a plank, held Hong Ying down, and gave her a good beating. "I told you that 'Treading Through Ten Thousand Rivers' could kill that old scoundrel, so why did you use 'A Thousand Miles Apart'?"

Hong Ying struggled fiercely. "Xiaowan, I didn't mean to use 'A Thousand Miles Apart.' That dirty water got on me, and my mind suddenly went blank. I wanted to use 'Treading Through Ten Thousand Rivers,' but for some reason, 'A Thousand Miles Apart' came out."

Zhao Xiaowan snatched the plank and continued to hit her. "He splashed dirty water, and you just took it? With your excellent skills, couldn't you have dodged it?"

Hong Ying gritted her teeth. "You're wrongly accusing me! You've fought battles. When I'm trying to kill him, can I dodge? In a life-or-death situation, whoever backs down loses!"

She was right. Hong Ying had always fought this way throughout her life. In situations where offense and defense were equally difficult, she never chose defense. If she could land an attack on Shu Wanjuan first, any technique Shu Wanjuan wanted to use would be too late. But Zhao Xiaowan was too angry to let it go and still gave Hong Ying a good beating.

Hong Ying shouted, "Stop hitting me! Let's figure out how to get back to the clouds first!"

"Back? How? Do you know the Cloud Gate technique?"

Neither of them knew the Cloud Gate technique.

"Let's find husband first!" Zhao Xiaowan called Li Banfeng, but couldn't get through.

Hong Ying thought for a moment. "Seventh Brother not answering means he's not in an urgent situation and doesn't need our help."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Xiaowan was anxious. "Husband must be fighting someone."

Hong Ying asked, "Who is Seventh Brother fighting?"

Li Banfeng had left in a hurry and hadn't explained things clearly, but based on previous information from Boluo, Zhao Xiaowan deduced he had gone to the Earth God's residence to confront Shan Chengjun. The Earth God of Mo Xiang Shop lived in Willow Garden; Li Banfeng had told his wife this, but Zhao Xiaowan didn't know where they currently were.

Hong Ying carried Zhao Xiaowan on her back and ran wildly through the wilderness, soon reaching a village. There was a small river in the village. By the river, they met a woman washing clothes. Zhao Xiaowan approached her to ask for directions. "Sister, excuse me, is Mo Xiang Shop far from here?"

The woman looked up at Zhao Xiaowan, surprised, and said, "Cold river water can wash away dust, but can it wash away a person's memory?"

Zhao Xiaowan paused, then smiled. "Sister, I don't quite understand what you mean."

The woman looked even more surprised. "The cold river water pierces my bones and flesh. Are you trying to pierce my heart with such words?"

Zhao Xiaowan was even more bewildered now. She didn't know this woman, but judging from her words, the woman seemed to know her well. Hong Ying didn't think much of it; she just felt Zhao Xiaowan's way of asking for directions was incorrect. She uprooted a willow tree, as thick as a bowl, by the river, and dragged it to the woman. "I see you don't have a proper tool for washing clothes. Why don't you use this tree as a washing club?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "This is still Mo Xiang Shop's territory. Walk twenty *li* east, and you'll reach the city."

Zhao Xiaowan finally understood. The woman didn't know her; she had simply forgotten the customs of Mo Xiang Shop.

Hong Ying carried Zhao Xiaowan on her back and ran eastward. Once they reached the city, Zhao Xiaowan asked for directions again: "Sir, how do I get to Willow Garden?"

The man looked at Zhao Xiaowan and said, "Young lady, you also like willow trees. Do you know what they symbolize?"

Hong Ying broke off a willow branch and threw it in front of the man. "You tell me, what does *this* symbolize?"

The man pointed to the end of the road. "Willow Garden is just up ahead."

The two went to Willow Garden, searched around, but didn't see Li Banfeng.

"Husband has already left?" Xiaowan was very anxious. There were no signs of a fight in the forest. Had something else happened? She tried calling again, but it still didn't connect. Seeing someone enter the garden, Zhao Xiaowan went up and asked, "How many Willow Gardens are there in Mo Xiang Shop?"

An old woman replied, "There are as many willow trees in Mo Xiang Shop as there are ripples in my heart."

Zhao Xiaowan's veins bulged as she looked at the old woman. The old woman, experienced, knew this woman was not to be trifled with. She quickly replied, "From east to west in the city, there are thirteen Willow Gardens in total. What is the name of the one you're looking for?"

Zhao Xiaowan looked at Hong Ying, who said, bewildered, "Don't look at me! He didn't tell *me* either!"

Ganshazhai was one of the most famous academies in Puluozhou. Not far from Ganshazhai, in a Willow Garden, Shan Chengjun was with a middle-aged man, calculating the arrangement of willow trees.

Li Banfeng held a sickle, intending to greet them from behind, but Shan Chengjun turned around first. "Old Seven, you're here." Shan Chengjun had suffered a setback once, and something seemed etched into his very being; he was wary of Li Qi.

Li Banfeng put away his sickle and smiled. "Brother Shan, long time no see."

Shan Chengjun also smiled. "Things going well lately? Did you bring that deed you took from me earlier?"

"Didn't bring it," Li Banfeng shook his head. "That day, the peddler came back, and he thought the deed was good, so I sold it to him."

"Sold it?" Shan Chengjun was a little disappointed. "How much did he pay?"

Li Banfeng said, "A hundred silver dollars. He didn't have cash, so I let him buy on credit."

Shan Chengjun felt this wasn't right. "Look at that peddler, a hundred silver dollars on credit? I have cash. From now on, sell any deeds to me. I'll pay a hundred and fifty!"

Li Banfeng looked surprised. "Brother Shan, are you serious? I've already taken the Mo Xiang Shop deed. You don't need to dig here anymore. Or, I could just sell it to you."

Shan Chengjun was even more delighted. "Alright, let me inspect it first!"

Li Banfeng patted his pocket. "Oh no, I left the deed at the inn. Brother Shan, why don't you go get it for me?"

Shan Chengjun shook his head. "I'm busy right now and can't leave. Please trouble yourself to go to the inn and bring the deed. As long as it's genuine, I'll pay you immediately."

Li Banfeng looked at the middle-aged man standing beside Shan Chengjun. "Did this big brother come with you?"

Shan Chengjun quickly introduced him. "This is the foremost Calculator cultivator, named Ji Xuanwei. Among all living Calculator cultivators, his cultivation is top-tier."

Ji Xuanwei clasped his fists at Li Banfeng. Honestly, he couldn't understand the thinking of these two, nor their relationship. In the current situation, he couldn't tell if they were friends or foes.

Li Banfeng returned the gesture. "Senior Ji, are you also here to find the deed?"

Ji Xuanwei looked at Shan Chengjun, unsure how to answer.

Shan Chengjun looked at Ji Xuanwei and said, "Don't hide it. Old Seven isn't an outsider; we've had life-and-death encounters. Just tell him the truth."

Ji Xuanwei told Li Banfeng, "I'm here to find the entrance to the Earth God's residence."

Li Banfeng was surprised. "Is it hard to find?"

"Difficult!" Ji Xuanwei answered sincerely. "The Mo Xiang Shop's Earth God's residence is extremely hidden. He used a special algorithm to conceal it, which ordinary people can't crack."

Shan Chengjun nodded. "Old Seven, you know I'm not good at calculations, so I simply found an expert to help me."

"So, he's here to help," Li Banfeng looked at Ji Xuanwei. "Senior, you should leave. This place is not suitable for staying long."

Shan Chengjun frowned. "He's someone I invited. Why should you make him leave?"

Li Banfeng looked at Shan Chengjun. "Then should I ask *you* to leave first?"

Shan Chengjun asked very seriously, "What if I don't leave? What can you do?"

It seemed the two were about to fight. Ji Xuanwei looked at Shan Chengjun. Since he had decided to follow Shan Chengjun, he naturally couldn't be vague when it was time to fight. Unexpectedly, Shan Chengjun didn't need his help. "Little Ji, go do your work. If you get tired of calculating, just watch the fun. When you've seen enough, continue calculating. Just don't interfere."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Banfeng disappeared. Shan Chengjun laughed. "Little Ji, see that? That's 'Riding a Horse to View Flowers,' one of the most ruthless techniques of a Traveling Cultivator. Li Qi's 'Riding a Horse to View Flowers' is especially fierce, and it can explode twice, so we must counter this move."

After speaking, Shan Chengjun kicked the ground hard, and the splashing snow fragments formed a snow curtain, enveloping his body. This was Shan Chengjun's power; a casual kick could make him invisible to Li Banfeng. "If he can't see me, how can he use 'Riding a Horse to View Flowers'? Little Ji, isn't that right?"

Ji Xuanwei exploded.

Shan Chengjun was greatly alarmed. "Li Qi, why did you explode him?" He quickly kicked some snow, trying to envelop Ji Xuanwei with a snow curtain, but it was useless. The first strike was visual focus, the second was mental focus. Even if Li Banfeng couldn't see, Ji Xuanwei still exploded.

"Little Ji, say something! Look at me!" Shan Chengjun held Ji Xuanwei, calling out repeatedly. Ji Xuanwei gently waved his hand, indicating he wasn't dead. He quickly took out several bottles of medicinal powder, calculated the proportions, prepared a dose of healing medicine for himself, and took it. The medicine was incredibly effective, and Ji Xuanwei's injuries were quickly brought under control.

Li Banfeng squatted on a willow tree and asked, "Senior Ji, do you also cultivate as a Healer?"

Ji Xuanwei nodded. "My cultivation in Healing and Calculating is roughly equivalent."

Shan Chengjun roared, "Li Qi, there's a head to every wrong, and a master to every debt! If you have a problem, come at me! What kind of hero are you, hitting my friend?"

Li Banfeng looked at Ji Xuanwei. "Senior Ji, we've had so many years of friendship. Don't listen to outsiders trying to sow discord. I just hit you, but it was for your own good. This pine forest hides many difficult puzzles. If I killed you, you wouldn't have to solve them, and you wouldn't suffer anymore. If you don't believe me, ask Shan Chengjun. See if what I'm saying makes sense?"

Ji Xuanwei glanced at Shan Chengjun. He wanted to explain that he had no friendship with Li Qi whatsoever.

Shan Chengjun angrily said, "Why are you looking at me? How could I harm you? Get to work!"

Ji Xuanwei continued calculating the entrance's location. When Li Banfeng tried to attack Ji Xuanwei again, Shan Chengjun didn't give him the chance. Although he wasn't as fast as Li Qi, his methods were by no means inferior. He felled a willow tree so thick it would take two people to embrace, tore off all its branches, withered leaves, and bark, and used them to besiege Li Banfeng. A piece of bark became a short knife, a withered leaf a javelin. Willow branches were the most formidable; harder ones could be long spears, tender ones soft whips. In Shan Chengjun's hands, a single tree became an army. No wonder this fellow had such a great reputation on the battlefield.

If he were to engage in a drawn-out fight with him, Li Banfeng had many techniques, but he couldn't afford a prolonged battle now. Through his calculations, Ji Xuanwei was getting closer to the Earth God's residence entrance. With his methods, it seemed he would soon find a way to open the door. Li Banfeng's judgment was correct. Ji Xuanwei had already narrowed down the entrance to within a thirty-tree radius. To further narrow the scope, more precise calculations were needed. According to Ji Xuanwei's algorithm, the next step was to eliminate ten trees.

After a few minutes of calculation, ten trees were eliminated. Ji Xuanwei counted, and there were fifty-eight trees remaining. If thirty trees were eliminated, why were there fifty-eight remaining? The arrangement of these trees had changed. The area Ji Xuanwei had originally identified became more densely forested. Why was this happening? Was an Illusion Cultivator using a trick, or was a Plant Cultivator planting trees? Ji Xuanwei's face was covered in sweat. He pondered repeatedly but couldn't find the reason.

Shan Chengjun plucked a willow branch, wrapped it around Li Banfeng's knee, and chuckled, "Li Qi, did you bring help too?"

Li Banfeng used his "Carefree Freedom" technique to free himself from the willow branch and enveloped the entire forest with an invisible boundary. "I have to bring help. This forest is too complex; I can't solve its mechanisms alone."

Shan Chengjun was startled. "Why are you solving mechanisms? Are you also here to dig for deeds?"

Li Banfeng was also taken aback. "What kind of question is that? What else would I be doing here if not digging for deeds?"

Shan Chengjun hit Li Banfeng with a piece of willow root, causing an unexpected hit. "What are you digging for deeds for?"

Li Banfeng used his sickle to cut a piece of flesh from Shan Chengjun. "Didn't I just say? Digging for deeds to sell for money, a hundred silver dollars each."

What did he mean by that? In Shan Chengjun's understanding, Li Banfeng should have come to protect Mo Xiang Shop, to stop him from digging for deeds. How did it turn into them digging for deeds together?

Ji Xuanwei was kicked and fell, unable to get up. Shan Chengjun turned to protect him, but took another blow from Li Banfeng's blade. Although the cut was deep, Shan Chengjun wasn't worried at all. "Li Qi, I know who your helper is now. This is Sun Tiecheng's daughter, Yu Buzhuo. I thought this person was dead; I killed her with my own hands. How did you bring her back to life? Did you collect her bones from a mass grave?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu'er's veins pulsed. She wanted to rush forward and fight Shan Chengjun to the death but was stopped by the wine gourd. Jiu'er understood the wine gourd's meaning: she couldn't go now; it would only burden Li Qi.

Shan Chengjun and Li Qi seemed nonchalant, but their fight was brutal, both bleeding. Moreover, Li Qi had been using a special technique on Shan Chengjun. Jiu'er felt it had shades of a Fool's Cultivation technique, yet it didn't quite resemble it. A Fool's Cultivation technique wouldn't be so absurd. The technique Li Qi was using was clearly more outrageous than a Fool's Cultivation technique; his words were utterly chaotic, yet there seemed to be an invisible logic to them. Could it be a new technique taught to him by Big Brother Sun? Regardless of the technique's origin, since it had similarities with Fool's Cultivation, Jiu'er could offer some assistance within the technique.

After a brief struggle, the two closed in and grappled. Li Banfeng first cut Shan Chengjun with a blade, then lowered his voice to persuade him: "Brother Shan, stop now. It's not shameful to leave. Your brother genuinely wishes you well."

Shan Chengjun pierced Li Banfeng's shoulder with a tree branch. "Old Seven, I know you're a good brother. Tell me, what's the reason? Why should I stop?"

Li Banfeng pulled out the branch and, with the same hand, stabbed it into Shan Chengjun's stomach. "Brother Shan, you know how capable Yu Buzhuo is. Both her Traveling Cultivation and Fool's Cultivation are top-tier. Wait another ten or eight minutes, and she'll break through the formation and definitely find the deed. You won't be able to stop her."

Shan Chengjun held a piece of bark, intending to slash Li Qi's stomach. "Old Seven, don't move around. Let me see if you've taken the wrong medicine?"

Li Banfeng dodged the bark and used his pendulum to open a gash on Shan Chengjun's stomach. "Brother Shan, first look at your own intestines and stomach. Even if you don't have intestines, you have a stomach. Don't forget Ji Xuanwei is a Healer. If you took his medicine, your mind would be in chaos, and Yu Buzhuo couldn't save you!"

Shan Chengjun's scalp tingled with pain. Everyone said Li Qi was crazy, but he didn't expect him to be this crazy! What nonsense was he talking? Why would Yu Buzhuo save him? Yu Buzhuo was his enemy! He had personally killed her!

The memories of Fool's City were very clear in Shan Chengjun's mind. Grasping this memory made Shan Chengjun's thoughts much clearer. He had killed her back then, and now he would kill her again. Killing her was definitely not wrong.

He swept a glance behind him and saw Ji Xuanwei and Yu Buzhuo fighting bitterly. In terms of cultivation, both cultivated two paths. Yu Buzhuo's physique was clearly weaker, and many of her techniques weren't smooth. Ji Xuanwei's cultivation was slightly higher than Jiu'er's. However, Ji Xuanwei's two cultivation paths were not good at direct combat, and he was being steadily pushed back by Yu Buzhuo.

Shan Chengjun broke another willow tree. This time, he didn't break it into pieces but threw the entire tree directly at Li Qi. How could such a heavy willow tree hit Li Banfeng? Li Banfeng thought he could easily dodge it, but unexpectedly, under Shan Chengjun's control, the dry willow branches extended in all directions, surrounding Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng broke out of the branch encirclement using his "Unimpeded Travel" technique, only to see Shan Chengjun already rushing towards Jiu'er. Looking at the distance between them, Shan Chengjun could take Jiu'er's life at any moment. Li Banfeng struggled to catch up, but then heard Jiu'er shout, "Brother Shan, look out!"

Shan Chengjun froze. "Look out for what?"

Shan Chengjun was knocked over twenty meters away by Sui Shenju, landing headfirst in the snow. During their last encounter, Sui Shenju was in poor condition, but today he was in good form, and this collision was solid. Shan Chengjun stumbled to his feet, seeing Yu Buzhuo still pursuing Ji Xuanwei.

Li Qi approached. Yu Buzhuo shouted, "Brother Shan, watch your back."

Shan Chengjun threw a handful of snow, repelling Li Qi, then picked up a rock and smashed it into Sui Shenju's locomotive. Having repelled Li Qi and the little train, Shan Chengjun looked at Yu Buzhuo. His expression was still bewildered. Just now, Yu Buzhuo had warned Shan Chengjun to be careful twice. Whether it was useful or not, she truly warned him. She was truly saving him. Was she truly the helper he had invited?

The situation was chaotic, but Ji Xuanwei was very clear-headed. A top-tier Calculator cultivator could maintain calm even in life-or-death situations. While fending off Yu Buzhuo, he reminded Shan Chengjun, "Don't get distracted. Give me ten minutes, and I can find the entrance." This was not an exaggeration. Although Ji Xuanwei was constantly taking hits, he didn't stop calculating. He had seen through Jiu'er's formation and located the entrance. The only thing left to calculate was how to open the door. With his calculating power, finding a way to open the door within ten minutes was indeed not difficult.

Jiu'er, seeing the unfavorable situation, exerted all her strength to kill Ji Xuanwei. Ji Xuanwei kept taking medicine, fighting Jiu'er with his tough physique. Shan Chengjun took large strides, charging towards the two. Li Banfeng's figure flickered, rushing to protect Jiu'er. Shan Chengjun got there first, punching through Ji Xuanwei's chest.

Ji Xuanwei looked down at Shan Chengjun's arm, then looked up at Shan Chengjun's face. Even until his death, he couldn't understand what had happened to Shan Chengjun. Blood splattered on Shan Chengjun's face, and he sobered up slightly.

Li Banfeng cried out as he rushed forward, "Senior Ji, I'll avenge you!" With his cry, Ji Xuanwei disintegrated into dust, which gently settled.

Amidst the dust and snow, Shan Chengjun fought Li Qi, bewildered. He didn't know why he had killed Ji Xuanwei, or if he had killed the wrong person. Just that instant, he felt Ji Xuanwei was the biggest threat because he could find the entrance. In Shan Chengjun's mind, all threats should be eliminated as quickly as possible. Had he not killed the wrong person? Or was it wrong?

As Shan Chengjun was wrestling with his thoughts, Li Banfeng kicked him high into the air. Shan Chengjun, flying through the air, still looked utterly confused. Sui Shenju immediately caught up and crashed into Shan Chengjun again. Shan Chengjun landed, scattering flesh and blood everywhere.

Li Banfeng rushed forward with his shadow, intending to finish Shan Chengjun with "Five Horses Dividing the Corpse." Shan Chengjun flung off pieces of his own flesh and blood, which struck Li Banfeng and his shadows. Banfeng Yi was hit by a piece of flesh and blood, recoiling on the ground, unable to move. Banfeng Zi luckily dodged the flesh and blood and quickly ran to a distance. This wasn't because he was afraid of death; he knew the power of that flesh and blood. In the previous battle, Shan Chengjun's flesh and blood had almost breached Sui Shenju. Banfeng Zi found a safe spot to prepare for Li Banfeng's escape. His choice was very wise. Apart from Banfeng Zi and Banfeng Yin, all other shadows, including Li Banfeng himself, were covered in flesh and blood. Li Banfeng quickly swapped positions with Banfeng Zi. Banfeng Zi was severely injured and recoiled at Li Banfeng's feet, but Li Banfeng successfully evaded danger.

Shan Chengjun stood up from the ground, wiping the blood from his face. He first looked at Yu Buzhuo, then at Li Banfeng. "Yu Buzhuo is a Fool's Cultivator, I knew that, but I didn't expect you to be one too. Both of you conspired against me! Li Qi, you started talking to me the moment we met, just to make me fall for a Fool's Cultivation technique, didn't you?"

Li Banfeng shook his head. "What I just used wasn't a Fool's Cultivation technique. I call this technique 'Madman's Delirious Words.' It's not from the same path as Fool's Cultivation. I talked to you because I've only ever fought you before, never really spoken. Aside from anything else, talking to you is quite interesting."

Shan Chengjun gritted his teeth, genuinely angry. "Back then, Shu Wanjuan and I fought you, and we fought fairly and honorably. And now you treat me like this?"

Li Banfeng was also displeased. "Do you think two against one is fair and honorable?"

"Fine! If you don't talk reason, then we won't talk reason. I'll give you something unreasonable." Without any defense, Shan Chengjun charged directly at Li Banfeng.

"Ah Qi, watch out!" Sui Shenju sensed something was wrong, acted preemptively, and crashed head-on into Shan Chengjun.

*Boom!**Clang!*

Sui Shenju overturned, its locomotive front heavily dented. It hadn't defeated Shan Chengjun in the collision! Shan Chengjun jumped onto the locomotive, raining down punches that deformed its front.

Li Banfeng rushed forward to fight Shan Chengjun desperately. Shan Chengjun tore off a train wheel and threw it at Li Banfeng. It missed, but it hurt more than if it had hit. Seeing Sui Shenju's state, Li Banfeng's eyes reddened. He rushed forward, snatched the wheel, and smacked it onto Shan Chengjun's head. Shan Chengjun's skull cracked, and he raised a hand to punch Li Banfeng's body.

Li Banfeng endured it with "Traveler Without Boundaries," then, wielding the train wheel, fought Shan Chengjun, simultaneously using "Five Horses Dividing Households." Shan Chengjun's body deformed but never split open. He had experienced "Five Horses Dividing Households" before, and his body remembered; every piece of his flesh and blood resisted Li Qi.

After a brief stalemate, "Traveler Without Boundaries" timed out. Shan Chengjun punched Li Banfeng in the chest. Li Banfeng tried to defend with "Benevolent Heart," but his ribs still broke. Jiu'er rushed forward to fight Shan Chengjun desperately, barely managing to block a few moves before being knocked to the ground, unable to get up.

The "Five Horses Dividing Households" technique gradually took effect. Shan Chengjun's skin and flesh cracked, but he felt no pain and continued to fight Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng felt the pain, but he didn't retreat a single step, constantly maintaining the distance within the range of "Five Horses Dividing Households." Shan Chengjun's flesh and blood continuously re-coalesced. Li Banfeng simply couldn't tear Shan Chengjun's body apart.

How could he tear his body apart? How could he stop his flesh and blood from re-coalescing?

"No Way Out."

"No Way Out" had defeated him before.

Li Banfeng swept a glance at Shan Chengjun. Shan Chengjun's body suddenly lost balance, his left hand going left, his right hand going right, his arms involuntarily spreading wide. He was hit by "Running East, Fleeing West." The flesh and blood that were originally coalescing towards the center pulled outwards in that instant. In that very moment, "Five Horses Dividing Households" took effect, and Shan Chengjun's body split apart.
