Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Contest of Movement Techniques
Crown Prince Zhou Yishui was a man of great ambition, stealing the secrets of other factions’ martial arts in ways imperceptible to others.
This included the martial arts of the Shenxiao Sect and the Five Elements Sect.
Zhou Yishui was also an extremely gifted individual. In a very short period of time, he had completely mastered both the Secrets of Five Elements and the Thunder Lightning Tao. Even when pitted against Chi Yunxiao, who was proficient in Thunder Lightning Tao, and Wang Erdan, who was skilled in the Secrets of Five Elements, his momentum did not diminish.
With a steely gaze, Fang Lin felt a surge of battle fervor in his heart. These kinds of individuals were worthy adversaries for him.
“Come on!” Fang Lin roared, his physical strength exploding and the faint sounds of dragon’s roars and phoenix’s cries emanating from within him.
Accompanied by the Power of Five Elements, Zhu Yishui, body aglow with thunder and lightning, also rushed towards Fang Lin.
This battle was incredibly fierce.
Fang Lin unleashed his physical strength. Relying on his Supreme Body, his attacks were ferociously intense.
In contrast, Zhou Yishui grounded his techniques in the Power of Thunder and Lightning and the Five Elements Secret Skill, his physical strength also reaching a pinnacle. He was not far behind Fang Lin’s Supreme Body in terms of power.
Their collisions were purely physical. Neither of them used any treasures; both sought to overpower their opponent through sheer physical strength.
The more they fought, the more astounded Fang Lin became. Zhou Yishui was indeed powerful. He had initially thought that his Supreme Body alone would be enough to suppress Zhou Yishui.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yishui’s refinement of his body was continuous, undergoing relentless tempering from the Power of Thunder and Lightning and the Five Elements Secret Skill. Now fully unleashed, it was capable of going head-to-head with Fang Lin’s Supreme Body.
Boom!
Boom!
All of a sudden, both of them seized upon each other’s tiny weaknesses. Zhou Yishui threw a punch to Fang Lin’s chest, and Fang Lin struck at his shoulder.
Both of them grunted and were sent flying backward.
“Freeze!” Just then, Zhou Yishui opened his Spirit Eye and dazzling white light surged out and formed chains that swept towards Fang Lin.
Upon seeing this, Fang Lin opened his Spirit Eye as well. Streams of blue light emerged, forming a barrier to protect him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The white chains relentlessly hammered the barrier like it would shatter at any moment.
Regardless of how violent the chains hammered against it, they were unable to break through. Fang Lin’s power of spirit eyes was tremendously formidable, not giving Zhou Yishui the slightest opportunity to exploit.
Witnessing his attack fail, Zhou Yishui remained expressionless as he abruptly vanished.
In less than a blink of an eye, before Lin could respond, Zhou Yishui appeared like a swift swallow, throwing a ferocious punch against the blue barrier.
With this punch, Zhou Yishui harnessed the power of the Flood Dragon’s Demon Bone. An apparition of a flood dragon appeared, and with its overwhelming strength, finally shattered the blue barrier.
“So fast!” Fang Lin was internally shocked. The instant the barrier broke, Zhou Yishui launched another attack, rushing to Fang Lin’s front and letting loose a fierce punch directly at Fang Lin’s face.
Fang Lin didn’t have time to retaliate. He hastily employed the Nine Heavens Step Skill, miraculously avoiding Zhou Yishui’s punch.
“Hmm?” Upon seeing Fang Lin also deploy an impressive movement technique, Zhou Yishui’s eyebrows slightly knitted in surprise.
Although Fang Lin managed to evade Zhou Yishui’s sudden attack, he was similar surprised. Zhou Yishui’s movement technique appeared able to enhance his speed without warning.
“Be careful, that’s our Dugu Family’s Swallow Light Body Spell!” Dugu Ruoxu warned insufficiently.
The Swallow Light Body Spell, a unique movement technique passed down by their ancestral patriarch, was only taught to the core members of the Dugu Family. Besides Dugu Ruoxu, only the Family Head Dugu Fengyun and his grandfather, Lord Fenglei, could use this movement technique.
By rights, there was no way Zhou Yishui could have learned this movement technique. Yet, he had just used it. Dugu Ruoxu didn’t need to think long to realize that his grandfather, Lord Fenglei, must have passed down the Swallow Light Body Spell to Zhou Yishui.
“Hehe, your Dugu Family’s Swallow Light Body Spell is even better than our royal family’s movement technique. It feels good to use,” Zhou Yishui laughed.
Upon hearing that, Dugu Ruoxu’s grim expression intensified, and he felt an overwhelming urge to engage Zhou Yishui in another three hundred rounds of combat.
With a cold voice, Fang Lin said, “So, we’re comparing movement techniques now?”
Zhou Yishui burst into laughter. “Can your movement technique compare to the Swallow Light Body Spell?”
Keeping a poker face, Fang Lin replied, “Why don’t we find out?”
Before the words dropped, the two of them simultaneously initiated their movement techniques, colliding in the sky again and again like phantom images.
It was not just a test of physical strength but also a comparison of their movement techniques.
This was a contest between the Dugu Family’s Swallow Light Body Spell renowned for its speed and Fang Lin’s Nine Heavens Step Skill known for its unpredictability.
“You’re too slow!” Zhou Yishui sneered repeatedly. He moved so fast it seemed as if he was a bolt of lightning. His continuous barrage of attacks was a sight to behold.
Fang Lin remained silent, not taking the attacks head on. Although his Nine Heavens Step Skill was also strong in speed, its true strength lay in its agility.
At this moment, Fang Lin was akin to a slippery eel. His situation appeared precarious, but Zhou Yishui could barely touch the hem of his clothes.
“In my eyes, you’re not that fast!” Fang Lin retorted. He moved as if walking through a leisurely garden, feeling even more comfortable and satisfied.
Zhou Yishui was slightly agitated. He immediately pushed the Swallow Light Body Spell to its limits, adding the Power of Thunder and Lightning to drastically increase his speed.
The effect was indeed obvious. Zhou Yishui finally hit Fang Lin. However, before he could celebrate, he realized that he had only hit Fang Lin’s afterimage.
Dugu Ruoxu, who was not far off, was even more astounded. He had a clear understanding of their family’s Swallow Light Body Spell. Within the Xuan Country, there shouldn’t be any family’s movement techniques that could compete with it.
Even within the whole Middle Three Kingdoms, their family’s Swallow Light Body Spell was quite renowned. Numerous people had targeted their family’s movement technique.
However, the movement technique currently used by Fang Lin was not inferior; on the contrary, he had taken Zhou Yishui, whose speed was at its peak, in the palm of his hand.
“Hmm? Something’s not right!” Zhou Yishui suddenly realized that unknowingly, he seemed to have been led by the nose by Fang Lin. Although his attacks were powerful, their effect was becoming less and less apparent. More often than not, he was expending energy for naught.
“Only realizing this now? Isn’t it a bit too dull?” Fang Lin said, shaking his head with apparent disdain.
