Chapter 497: One Finger
Xuan Nan’s strike was truly without mercy.After trading blows with Fang Bai just now, Xuan Nan knew that Fang Bai’s combat power was not much weaker than his own, possibly even surpassing Long Jingtian. Even if Fang Bai couldn’t catch the ice leaves shot by his Thousand Leaf Finger and got injured, the injuries would not be too severe.
For martial artists, sustaining injuries was nothing out of the ordinary. As long as the injuries weren’t serious, applying Shaolin’s specially formulated medicine for healing wounds would soon lead to recovery.
"Haha...."
A few hearty laughs came from Fang Bai’s mouth as his figure swayed. Raising both hands in succession, the four enormously powerful and incomparably sharp ice leaves propelled by Xuan Nan with the Thousand Leaf Finger, as if trapped within an invisible Heaven’s Net, were easily caught by Fang Bai.
Fang Bai’s hand movements were mystical, containing the rhythm of the great Dao of heaven and earth, so fast that even Xuan Nan couldn’t see clearly.
Everyone present was stunned by this miraculous move from Fang Bai, their faces showing shock.
This was the "Intercepting Dragon Hand" that Fang Bai had created years ago. Back then, he could even catch and block spiritual artifacts that possessed the power to move mountains and calm seas, and he could intercept divine dragons that bore limitless divine power. Now, dealing with merely a few ice leaves was effortless.
"The second move!"
Xuan Nan had said he would defeat Fang Bai within three moves. Seeing that his first strike was easily resolved by Fang Bai, he let out a deep shout, and the second strike was already on its way.
There was originally some distance between him and Fang Bai, but then his slender figure suddenly launched forward, almost reaching Fang Bai with instantaneous movement, then thrust out directly with his right index finger.
This seemingly simple finger strike was anything but. It was as if Xuan Nan had condensed all the essence of his martial arts and all his robust True Yuan into this one point.
This was the renowned "One-Finger Chan" of Shaolin. When executed by Xuan Nan, the diminutive finger seemed like a 10,000-catty hammer smashing down or like a towering sword that could pierce through gold and crack stones, with an unstoppable force.
rable by swords and blades.
According to Shaolin records, in nearly two thousand years since the establishment of Shaolin, the only person who truly cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body was the Dharma Grandmaster himself.
This young man before him had definitely cultivated a body refinement technique similar to the Vajra Indestructible Technique, and it must have been substantially achieved; otherwise, he couldn’t have withstood Xuan Nan’s strike.
Xuan Nan looked at Fang Bai again and saw that after being repelled, there wasn’t a hint of dejection, but rather he was excited, his eyes burning with an even stronger desire to battle.
"Grandmaster is indeed formidable! Let’s go again!"
Fang Bai excitedly shouted, and like a whirlwind, he rushed toward Xuan Nan, swinging his fists, launching a tempestuous attack like a storm.
As for the three moves that would determine the winner, which Xuan Nan and he had agreed upon earlier, Fang Bai had already cast aside the notion. He only wanted a hearty battle against Xuan Nan, this rare opponent, to fight to his heart’s content.
Although he had been entangled in various matters recently, Fang Bai had always managed to find time for cultivation, especially after obtaining a large number of Essence Stones from Zhuge Dingtian’s tomb, which considerably accelerated his progress. His Qi Sea was brimming with True Yuan, restless and on the verge of reaching the barrier of high Earth Level.
Sparring with someone like Xuan Nan, who could threaten and pressure him, was the best way to stimulate his body’s potential to the fullest, far superior to regular body refinement practices—it could even result in a potential breakthrough.
Why would Fang Bai miss such an opportunity? He was also worried that Xuan Nan would suddenly propose a truce and refuse to fight any longer, so as he launched his attack, his fists and palms flew, delivering relentless and dense attacks like rain, thundering without giving Xuan Nan any chance to speak.
