Chapter 449: 449: Five Elements Fan
Li Guanxin’s anger intensified at these words, his disdain for Fang Lin deepening.
“Smooth talker, I’ll smash your teeth!” Li Guanxin barked, slapping the Nine Palace Bag to take out a somewhat tattered paper fan.
Fang Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly in caution, but he sneered, “You think you’re going to win with a nearly falling apart fan?”
Li Guanxin didn’t speak. With a solemn face, he slowly unfurled the worn paper fan.
Not wanting to be on the defense, Fang Lin struck first, pulling out his massive bone club and swiping it towards Li Guanxin’s head.
Li Guanxin waved his paper fan suddenly, and a gale howled, flipping Fang Lin and his club over.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Guanxin took the offensive and stormed Fang Lin.
“Is your fan’s only trick to fan the wind?” Fang Lin laughed derisively, not thrown off his stride in the least.
Li Guanxin sneered in kind, stirring the paper fan again in his hand.
Whoosh!
A ball of raging fire erupted suddenly, attacking Fang Lin with a palpable heat.
Taken aback, Fang Lin retreated quickly. Seeing that the flames didn’t disperse, Fang Lin roared, his punch scattering the ball of fire as inner strength surged.
A trace of triumph flashed across Li Guanxin’s face as he swung the paper fan again.
A piercingly cold air descended, and the entire battlefield seemed to have entered a harsh winter instantly.
Fang Lin looked down in surprise to see that his feet were almost frozen, and his body seemed to have been affected by the chill, proving slightly heavy and sluggish.
Meanwhile, Li Guanxin launched another assault. His palms surged with white light, revealing the Heart Destroying Palm technique once again.
Fang Lin didn’t dare to be negligent. He summoned his inner strength throughout his body, neutralizing the influence of the cold, and unleashed the White Elephant Trampling Mountain technique.
The phantom image of a white elephant appeared, exuding an overwhelming momentum. Suddenly, an elephant leg stomped towards Li Guanxin, attempting to trample him into a pulp.
Li Guanxin paused, looking up at the giant elephant leg that swept over with unchanging expression.
True Sun Energy!
Li Guanxin punched out, unleashing a terrifying aura, colliding head-on with the elephant’s leg.
The scene startled many viewers. Li Guanxin was formidable, mastering both the Li Family’s True Sun Energy and Heart Destroying Palm techniques to an impressive degree. The synergistic power of these two techniques was somewhat astonishing.
The phantom elephant leg seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, instantly dissolving, taking the white elephant’s phantom image down with it.
Though Li Guanxin managed to overcome Fang Lin’s assault, he took a significant impact himself. His complexion turned green intermittently, and his breath became hurried.
“Not bad,” Fang Lin laughed, seemingly unconcerned. With a push of his foot, he rushed toward Li Guanxin like an arrow leaving the bow.
Li Guanxin met change with constancy, throwing a palm strike directly at the charging Fang Lin.
Fang Lin punched out in turn, apparently ready to clash hard with Li Guanxin one more time.
However, just when the fist and the palm were about to collide again, Fang Lin suddenly shifted his figure, bypassing Li Guanxin without taking a hit directly and appeared behind him.
White light flickered in Li Guanxin’s eyes, his Pupil Skill pushed to the limit, but he still couldn’t catch Fang Lin’s movement trajectory.
Boom!
This punch landed squarely on Li Guanxin’s back. The force was so great that Li Guanxin staggered forward several steps, barely managing to remain upright.
Li Guanxin’s face twisted in pain. His back throbbed violently, and he suspected that Fang Lin’s punch had broken his clavicle.
Looking back, he saw Fang Lin ghost-like, charging at him again. Li Guanxin roared angrily, waving his paper fan, summoning a wild wind that covered the entire battlefield.
Fang Lin gave a silent sigh. Li Guanxin’s reaction was fast. Knowing that he couldn’t cope with Nine Heavens Step Skill, he released a storm in the arena that rendered Fang Lin unable to use the skill.
However, Fang Lin didn’t care. He had his advantage. Having consumed the Wind-controlling Pill before, the violent wind here wouldn’t affect him much.
If Fang Lin had consumed the Wind God Pill, the wind here would become his greatest aid.
Unfortunately, the Wind God Pill, a higher grade pill than the Wind-controlling Pill, was difficult to concoct. Fang Lin currently lacked the ability to do so.
“Without your bizarre movement technique, how are you going to fight me?” Li Guanxin took a deep breath, regained his calm, and looked at Fang Lin with the eyes of a victor.
Outside the field, the Li Family members were cheering in unison, believing Li Guanxin was a sure winner and that defeating Fang Lin was only a matter of time.
The Purple Mist Sect and royal family members showed concern. In their view, a significant part of Fang Lin’s strength relied on the Nine Heavens Step Skill. Without the ability to use this formidable movement technique, could Fang Lin still contend with Li Guanxin?
“Giving him the Five Elements Fan which you’ve used before, it seems you’re preparing him to be the next head of the Li Family, aren’t you?” Han Luoyun glanced at Li Zhendong and said casually.
Li Zhendong didn’t even look at Han Luoyun, and coldly responded, “None of your business.”
Han Luoyun smiled, not the least bit angry. He spoke again, “What a shame that you have poor judgment. Judging by his appearance, I’m afraid he won’t live past thirty.”
These words angered Li Zhendong instantly, giving Han Luoyun a hostile stare.
“Hehe, I’m just saying, don’t take it seriously,” laughed Han Luoyun.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed again. Fang Lin drew his bloody longsword and immediately swung it at Li Guanxin while it was still compliant.
A blood-colored sword light whistled through the air, heading directly for Li Guanxin.
Li Guanxin was shocked. He could sense a deadly threat from that bloody sword light. Without hesitation, he shook his Five Elements Fan repeatedly.
Successive ice walls appeared, forming an impenetrable shield in front of Li Guanxin.
There were as many as twelve ice walls. They seemed to have condensed almost instantaneously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sword light attacked, striking the ice walls. The first ice wall shattered almost instantly, followed by the second, the third…
All twelve ice walls collapsed in a blink of an eye, and the blood-colored sword light, too, disappeared.
Li Guanxin turned pale with fright. For that moment, his heart pounded in panic.
Right now, Li Guanxin looked down to see that his Five Elements Fan had lost its luster. It seemed that the fan had been damaged by that sword light.
Cursing under his breath, Li Guanxin determined that he couldn’t use the Five Elements Fan for now. He put it back into his bag and took out a uniquely fashioned longsword.
