Chapter 62: Origin Force Combat Skill – Misty Steps

Even though Liu Shengnan had trained Arhat Fist to a highly skilled level, Jiang Xincheng’s Butterfly Sword Art was like a dancing butterfly, fluttering between Liu Shengnan’s fists, forcing her back step by step and making it very hard for her to fully unleash the power of Arhat Fist.

Liu Shengnan felt very frustrated, but Jiang Xincheng did not have it easy either. Although he had rich combat experience, Liu Shengnan had not only cultivated Arhat Fist to its peak but also had very good combat experience. Even though she could not yet match Jiang Xincheng, she was still top-tier among Primordial Warriors of the same level.

The Liu Clan was indeed not simple. The younger generation they trained all had good skill. Leaving aside Liu Yijun and Liu Yifeng, each was a master of Taekwondo. If they had not encountered Jiang Xincheng, when facing ordinary Primordial Warriors of the same level, those two would hardly have any opponents.

This cousin of Liu Yifeng who suddenly jumped out to confront him was even stronger. In her twenties, she had already cultivated to the Bone Training Realm Initial Stage and brought Arhat Fist to this level, showing the deep foundation of the Liu Clan.

Unless absolutely necessary, Jiang Xincheng did not want to offend a powerful clan like the Liu Clan. But since he had already offended them, Jiang Xincheng was not afraid. He could not just let scum like Liu Yijun bully Sister Anan, nor could he face insults without fighting back or scolding back. The most important thing was, the other side wanted to cripple him, so why would Jiang Xincheng still be polite to them.

Butterflies fluttered gracefully. The Yellow Grade High-Tier Origin Force Combat Skill was used by Jiang Xincheng to a point of effortless mastery, suppressing Liu Shengnan completely, not letting her unleash the full power of Arhat Fist at all.

Through these days of diligent practice, the Butterfly Sword Art had been cultivated by Jiang Xincheng to the minor achievement stage, allowing Jiang Xincheng’s attack power to surge by nearly double. Combined with the power of the Mysterious Steel Sword, Jiang Xincheng could contend head-on with experts at the Bone Training Initial Stage while he was only at Mid Tendon-Training Stage.

The Mysterious Steel Sword occasionally clashed with the gloves. In the sharp sound of metal striking metal, each time the two were evenly matched. Relying on the sharpness of the Mysterious Steel Sword, Jiang Xincheng could gain a slight advantage each time, making Liu Shengnan fight very frustrated.

This was the first time she encountered such a strong and tough Primordial Warrior at the Tendon Training Realm. In the past, when meeting such Primordial Warriors, she could kill them with just a few simple moves, unlike Jiang Xincheng who was so difficult to deal with.

Arhat Fist was used with effortless power, one punch after another striking out like a mountain pressing down. The small butterfly faced the mountain, yet they were evenly matched, looking exceptionally shocking.

Dust and bamboo leaves danced wildly around, mostly stirred up by the fierce winds from Arhat Fist, raising dust and bamboo leaves. The Butterfly Sword Art was light and clever, not causing much impact on the surrounding environment.

Liu Shengnan truly lived up to her name. The ferocity of her fists and the fierceness of her moves far surpassed most men. Even if Jiang Xincheng used Mountain-Shaking Fist, he would probably still be slightly inferior.

“Boom boom boom…”

“Clang clang clang…”

The Butterfly Sword Art hovered around Arhat Fist, making Liu Shengnan fight extremely frustrated. Every time the two connected, they created extremely sharp sounds of metal clashing. For a while, Jiang Xincheng could not overcome Liu Shengnan, and Liu Shengnan could not overcome Jiang Xincheng. The two were deadlocked.

As time passed and the Primordial Force within his body decreased, Jiang Xincheng realized what Liu Shengnan intended to do.

She actually wanted to use the abundant Bone Training Realm Primordial Force in her body to completely deplete the Primordial Force in Jiang Xincheng’s body. Then she could manipulate Jiang Xincheng as she pleased.

However, this was an overt scheme that ordinary Primordial Warriors simply could not counter. Even if they wanted to escape, they had to be prepared to be struck by Liu Shengnan’s fist and half-killed before getting away. And once struck by a fist and severely injured, escaping would become very difficult.

Jiang Xincheng had also fallen into Liu Shengnan’s plan. Although the Primordial Force in his body was four times that of other Primordial Warriors of the same level, both its purity and abundance could not match Liu Shengnan’s.

After all, Liu Shengnan was a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior. The Primordial Force in her body was extremely abundant and pure, several minor stages and one major stage higher than Jiang Xincheng. Even if Jiang Xincheng was extraordinary, trying to outlast Liu Shengnan was a fool’s dream.

Not to mention that the Arhat Fist Liu Shengnan used was so fierce and domineering, sometimes forcing Jiang Xincheng to clash head-on with her, consuming more Primordial Force. If they remained deadlocked like this, Jiang Xincheng would surely lose in the end.

But since Jiang Xincheng had seen through it, with decades of experience and mastery of so many Origin Force Combat Skills, how could he possibly fall into Liu Shengnan’s hands?

A faint smile curved at the corner of Jiang Xincheng’s mouth. His footsteps shifted slightly, stepping in a mysterious arc, and suddenly he appeared behind Liu Shengnan. His Mysterious Steel Sword swept out, leaving a wound on Liu Shengnan’s body, from which blood streamed out.

Misty Steps!

Mortal Grade Low-Tier Origin Force Combat Skill. After using it, the footsteps became disordered and confusing, making it hard to see Jiang Xincheng’s figure clearly, thus causing opponents to unknowingly lose track of him.

This was a very simple Origin Force Combat Skill. Jiang Xincheng had practiced it quite proficiently in his previous life. Although he had not studied it well in this life, he could still barely use it, only his level was not high, just barely entering the hall of mastery.

Even so, it was enough to deal with Liu Shengnan.

Facing the footwork Jiang Xincheng suddenly used, Liu Shengnan’s face changed. She stepped back several steps, touched the wound on her back, a fierce light flashing across her face, then she rushed toward Jiang Xincheng again. Her moves were even fiercer, her fists even more ruthless, wanting to deplete the Primordial Force in Jiang Xincheng’s body as quickly as possible, then deal with him.

But when Liu Shengnan treated Jiang Xincheng based on the standard Primordial Force of an ordinary Mid Tendon-Training Stage Primordial Warrior, she was off by four times compared to the facts. In Liu Shengnan’s calculation, the Primordial Force in a Mid Tendon-Training Stage Primordial Warrior’s body was almost exhausted, so she went all out, even willing to take some injury to defeat Jiang Xincheng. But she did not know that the Primordial Force in Jiang Xincheng’s body was four times that of an ordinary Mid Tendon-Training Stage Primordial Warrior.

The result of the miscalculation was that after fighting for several more minutes, the Primordial Force in Jiang Xincheng’s body was still abundant, while Liu Shengnan was already covered in wounds, with scars from the Mysterious Steel Sword all over her body.

However, this woman Liu Shengnan was indeed fierce. Every time Jiang Xincheng wanted to expand his advantage and strike her heavily with one blow, Liu Shengnan would use some mutual destruction killing moves, forcing Jiang Xincheng to withdraw his sword, unable to heavily injure her in one strike and end this fight.

But that was alright. As the wounds on Liu Shengnan’s body increased and more blood flowed, Liu Shengnan almost became a bloody person, and her movements gradually slowed down.

After losing so much blood, Liu Shengnan was very close to defeat.

After a few more minutes, the number of wounds on Liu Shengnan’s body had exceeded twenty, and her body began to sway…
