“If one were to say that the madman before was like an elegant scholar, then now he resembled a warrior in the arena, his whole body radiating explosive strength. This instantaneous transformation had brought great pressure upon Li Qianfan.”
“F*ck!”
Witnessing this scene, Li Qianfan panicked in his heart, clearly not expecting his opponent to use such a move. Although this was the first time he had seen this kind of technique, he had come across such ‘strengthening’ talismans in the “Ancient Manual of Heavenly Reach.”
Such talismans could enhance the user’s body in a short period of time, bringing both strength and speed to their peak state.
Madman!
Now Li Qianfan finally understood why the guy was called a madman.
Because he hadn’t anticipated that his opponent would use a strengthening talisman in an instant, Li Qianfan had already charged to the madman’s front.
The strength of this punch was at least dozens of times stronger than before. Although it wasn’t as powerful as the previous Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman, this punch, if it landed solidly, would still cause him severe injury.
It was clearly impossible to dodge at this time!
Immediately, he circulated the Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill.
True Qi rapidly spread within his body, forming a pale yellow barrier in front of him in an instant.
“Piddling tricks, daring to show off in front of me!” sneered the madman as he decisively raised his fist and smashed it onto the barrier.
The barrier rippled gently like water.
“Crack!!”
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out. The fist instantly pierced through the barrier, striking directly at Li Qianfan’s chest.
“Ugh!” With a powerful punch, Li Qianfan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; his body flew backward like a kite with a snapped string, crashing heavily to the ground.
Such strong power!
Li Qianfan clutched his chest, feeling intense pain in his breastbone while his eyes dimmed considerably.
“Qianfan!”
Seeing this, Ye Ling’er’s heart tightened, her eyes filled with deep concern.
Not just Ye Ling’er, but everyone else showed worried expressions. For them, Li Qianfan was their last hope. If something happened to him, then their group would all die here.
“Is this all??”
The madman looked down at Li Qianfan with contempt, saying step by step, “With your little strength, you dare to provoke me? Remember, in your next life, when you see me, make sure to steer well clear. That way, you might live a little longer.”
Am I to die here?
Li Qianfan, clutching his chest, had a mad look in his eyes. His journey here had not been easy, and there were still so many things he had not accomplished. His parents were still waiting for him to find them; how could he die at the hands of a nobody like the madman?
The Ancient Manual of Heavenly Reach!
Yes, the Ancient Manual of Heavenly Reach was a Taoist treasure, and within it certainly lay a method to break a strengthening talisman.
Li Qianfan’s mind spun rapidly, recalling the content of the Ancient Manual of Heavenly Reach. Soon he found a talisman similar to the one used by the madman.
Named the Strengthening Talisman!
The description of this talisman in the Ancient Manual of Heavenly Reach was extremely similar to the one used by the madman right now.
It seemed likely that the madman was using a Strengthening Talisman.
To break the effects of such a talisman was very simple. One only needed to attack consecutively at the user’s nape of the neck to make the effects of the Strengthening Talisman dissipate at an extremely rapid rate.
Upon discovering this, Li Qianfan’s eyes brightened. He suddenly looked up at the approaching madman, quietly grabbing a handful of dust from the ground and, when the madman was unprepared, he threw the dust mixed with True Qi at the madman’s face like sharp knives, instantly entering his eyes.
The intense pain caused the madman to let out a scream, then he covered his eyes with both hands, continuously cursing Li Qianfan as shameless.
In a situation so dire, what did being shameless matter?
Seizing this opportunity, Li Qianfan didn’t hesitate and focused his True Qi into his legs. In just a blink, he was behind the madman, and his hefty fist hammered onto the nape of the madman’s neck.
“Ugh!!”
This strike was full of power, eliciting a pained scream from the madman that carried both desolation and surprise.
He then swung his fists backward in an attack.
Li Qianfan was prepared and immediately retreated several steps, dodging the blow, then quickly ran out of the room.
He had two reasons for luring the madman out of the room. The first was to protect the kidnapped hundred-odd people, fearing the collateral damage from the battle.
Secondly, Liu Ruyan was lying in wait outside. Although he had found the madman’s weakness, it would still be challenging to defeat the madman alone quickly, so to hasten the battle, it would be better for Liu Ruyan to join the fight and defeat the madman sooner.
“Damn brat, don’t run!”
After being sneak-attacked twice consecutively, the madman was furious. After roaring, he quickly chased after him.
Once outside the room, he rushed at Li Qianfan like a wild beast, baring his teeth and claws.
This time, Li Qianfan did not back down but began to entangle with the madman.
Though the madman was extremely strong, his speed couldn’t keep up with Li Qianfan, and each ferocious attack was narrowly deflected.
The two fought fiercely for more than ten minutes. Li Qianfan attacked the back of the madman’s head thirteen times in total, with very evident effects. It was clear to see that both the speed and strength of the madman had significantly decreased.
However, this came at a cost, as Li Qianfan had been punched by the madman five times, sustaining extremely serious internal injuries.
“Don’t just stand there watching the fun, come help me. His weakness is in the back of the neck…”
Li Qianfan shouted softly.
As soon as these words were spoken, suddenly a dark figure flickered into the air and then with the speed of lightning, struck at the madman.
