Chapter 40: Frostbite Silver Needle

  Chen Yunfeng was ready to use Li Mochou to test the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, and he had to let Li Mochou display her full skills. Originally, he still thought that Li Mochou, as a top-notch martial artist, would be able to put up a good fight, but now he realized that even among those with similar skills, there could be overwhelming suppression.

  Listening to Chen Yunfeng's tone with disdain, Li Moxiu let out a cold snort and suddenly rushed towards him. Her right hand was holding a dustpan slanted on her arm, while her left hand was shining with a faint blue aura protecting her chest. She was using the ancient tomb light skill, which made her seem like an immortal descending to the mortal world in just one flash. Her loose Taoist robe fluttered and rustled as she appeared before Chen Yunfeng in the blink of an eye.

  "Hmm..."

  Li Moyu's hand swiftly drew out the duster, and a dense cluster of silver threads shot forth with a shrill whistling sound. Chen Yunfeng's expression remained calm as his body suddenly arched backward, his heel touching the ground just enough to slip under the duster, rendering Li Moyu's prepared backhand useless at once.

  Li Mochou, also a seasoned fighter, saw Chen Yunfeng disappear from in front of her and without turning back, she swept her hand with the duster and turned her body along with it. Her left hand swung forward, and a palm shadow flew out towards Chen Yunfeng's back as he stood up straight.

  Chen Yunfeng rarely had a fight, but just now he was caught off guard by Li Mochou. He heard the palm wind coming from behind and let out a low growl, one hand holding the "Great River" and the other holding the "Swallow Returning to Land", turned around and slapped it out.

  These two moves are the ones in the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms that force the enemy to retreat, if the enemy does not retreat, the two palm forces will transform into an active attack. Li Mochou did not know that Chen Yunfeng was using the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, otherwise she would not have dared to launch such a reckless attack.

  Jian Chen Yunfeng turned around and immediately threw out two palms. Li Moshou shouted loudly, and the Five Poison Divine Palm in his left hand gathered all his true energy to slap forward.

  A pale green palm met the two dragon-shaped auras, the Five Poisons Godly Palm was cold and sinister, while the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms were powerful and majestic. With a loud crash, the pale green palm shadow was dispersed as soon as it encountered the dragon-shaped aura, and the remaining scorching aura continued to rush towards Li Mochou's body.

  Li Moyu was already too late to retreat, she raised her dusting brush with her left hand and again linked a string of palm shadows in front of her, Chen Yunfeng sneered, his hands lifted to his chest, his feet suddenly gathered force and charged forward.

  As he watched the two streams of true energy dissipate, he quickly pushed his hands forward, and as the dragon-shaped true energy shot forward, his body still wrapped in power, accelerating the speed of the true energy to impact that palm shadow.

  "Boom..."

  A deafening loud noise rang out, and Li Mochou was directly blown away by Chen Yunfeng's Dragon Subduing Palm technique, known as the "Goat Touches Fence". In mid-air, she flipped her throat once, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

  "Hmm."

  Li Mochou stared at the bloodstain on her chest in utter shock. She had been traveling the jianghu for many years, and except for those rare powerful experts, she could be considered as someone who had gone unchallenged for many years. But now, her two powerful martial arts skills were completely useless against Chen Yunfeng. With this mouthful of fresh blood spat out, she knew that the internal injury she had suffered was not light.

  Li Mochou's eyes turned to Chen Yunfeng, who had already demonstrated the power of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms. No wonder that in the martial arts world, internal energy was the foundation, but techniques were the greatest auxiliary. In comparison, the combat strength of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, known as the most powerful and masculine technique, surpassed that of most opponents at the same level.

  Li Mochou had no chance of winning at this point. Her internal energy was comparable to her martial arts skills, but she was not as skilled as others. After thinking carefully, her face changed greatly and she said:

  "It turns out that the young hero is a descendant of Bei Ya, with the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms being the number one palm technique among the Five Absolutes. Defeated by the young hero, Li Mochou acknowledges her inferior skills and takes her leave, saying 'the green hills remain unchanged, the flowing water continues to flow, on the day of my breakthrough, I will find you again to compare our skills'."

  Chen Yunfeng had long known that someone would suspect him of being the successor of Hong Qigong, and upon hearing Li Mochou's words, he smiled wryly, but suddenly saw a shiny silver needle umbrella approaching.

  "Ice Frost Silver Needle, I've been had." Chen Yunfeng couldn't help but curse inwardly.

  He wasn't scolding Li Mochou, but rather himself for being too inexperienced. He knew that Li Mochou's Ice Needle was ruthless, yet he had forgotten to be on guard due to a momentary lapse in attention. Seeing the dense array of silver needles flying towards him, Chen Yunfeng let out a loud shout and suddenly unleashed his move "Misty Rain".

  This move was the most gorgeous and also a defensive move against the enemy's hidden weapons. As soon as Chen Yunfeng made this move, his hands in front of him flashed like an eight-armed arhat, dozens of true energies like sealed and closed doors danced in front of him like a group of dragons, and the ice needles collided with the true energy and were bounced far away. Seeing that her hidden calculation with the ice needles was blocked, Li Moyu's body flashed back and she escaped into the forest, fleeing to a distant place.

  "Li Mochou...... what's the point of playing so fiercely, at least a hundred Ice Frost Silver Needles wouldn't be enough, how much time did it take to refine them?" Chen Yunfeng said with a bitter face, looking at the grass on the ground that was quickly withering and turning yellow due to the poison of the silver needles.

  He glanced at his left arm, where a trembling silver needle was being forced out by his true energy. The black blood was continuously being expelled under his true energy, but the Ice Frost Silver Needle was known as Li Mochou's trump card, and its toxicity was not something that could be easily expelled.

  Chen Yunfeng reacted a bit slowly, and a silver needle pierced through his arm, lightly tearing open his sleeve. He sealed the surrounding acupoints before slowly walking into the small hut. The intense fighting outside was invisible to Hong Lingbo, who had his back to the door. As for Lu Wushuang, whose ribcage had just been healed, he could only tilt his head to take a glance at his surroundings, and everything outside was unclear.

  As Chen Yunfeng walked in, Li Moxiu silently disappeared. Lu Wushuang finally let out a sigh of relief and said:

  "Yunfeng brother, was Li Mochou, that big demon, chased away by you?"

  "Hmm, Li Mochou may be formidable, but she's not an absolute top-notch expert. I've already chased her away, however, I also suffered a small loss - I forgot that she still has the Ice Frost Silver Needle, a deadly poisonous hidden weapon." Chen Yunfeng said with a sullen expression.

  "What? You were injured by Frostbite Silver Needle?"

  Lu Wushuang let out a cry of surprise and her heart racing, she was about to turn over when Chen Yunfeng hastily pressed down on her saying:

  "It's nothing, isn't it just the poison of Bing Jue Yin Zhen? You rest and recover from your injuries, I'll force the poison out first."

  Chen Yunfeng now has at least three ways to force out the toxins, his own Liuheyi Hunyuan Gong has a detoxifying function, and with the addition of Baye Liuhe Weiwo Duzun Gong and the already glimpsed Niutou Jiuyin Zhenqi, it won't take much time for him to clear the toxins.

  "Yunfeng brother, it's all for me. Without me holding you back, you wouldn't have been hurt by Li Mochou's Ice Jade Needle..."

  "Wu wu...... Ah, yes! Brother Yunfeng, help me untie my clothes. I stole Li Mochou's 'Five Poisons Secret Manual', it's tied to my thigh right now, and it has the method to remove the Ice Needle Silver Poison." Lu Wushuang said suddenly after sobbing for a while as she looked at Chen Yunfeng.
