I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Chapter 170 Zhang Yifan's Strength

The battle in the valley had reached a fever pitch, every second fraught with life-or-death tension, the situation constantly shifting. Xuan Qingzi, a mere alchemist, was struggling against two powerful cultivators at the Void Refinement stage. However, as time passed, his spiritual energy dwindled, and he could no longer sustain the continuous release of the incredibly powerful Azure Lotus Blazing Flame. Although he was the sect leader with profound cultivation, he primarily focused on alchemy, and combat was not his forte. Faced with such intense fighting, he gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

At this moment, Zhang Yifan, who was waiting for an opportunity, was secretly anxious. He had originally planned to conceal his abilities and act discreetly, hoping to find a sliver of hope for obtaining medicine and saving lives amidst the chaos of battle. However, seeing the increasingly fierce and brutal attacks from the human cultivators at the Void Refinement stage and the black dragon, and Xuan Qingzi's increasingly precarious situation, he knew that if he didn't go all out, Xuan Qingzi probably wouldn't last more than thirty rounds before being brutally killed. Once the sect leader was lost, the morale of the Spirit Pill Sect would definitely be thrown into chaos. At that time, let alone obtaining medicine, it would be questionable whether everyone could even survive the encirclement and suppression by the various powers.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yifan's eyes narrowed, and he no longer held back. He activated the Chaos Technique within his body at full power, his spiritual energy surging wildly like a raging tide. This Chaos Technique was an ancient cultivation method he had obtained by chance. When cultivated to its peak, it could absorb and transform various spiritual energies in the world for his own use, possessing extraordinary power. Now, activating it at full power, Zhang Yifan felt the spiritual energy within his body flowing endlessly, as if it were an inexhaustible source. Immediately afterwards, he used the Profound Clarity Sword Technique and the Thunderous Sky-Severing Sword in turn. Under the infusion of spiritual energy, the longswords in his hands shone brightly, and the sound of swords rang out incessantly. Each swing of the sword seemed to cleave the sky, bringing with it sharp sword energy, as if spiritual energy were being squandered recklessly.

Unaware of this, Zhang Yifan had actually concealed his true strength for a long time. It should be understood that if he were to unleash his full power, even against a human expert at the Void Refinement stage, while he would find it quite difficult, he could still manage a hard-fought victory.

Moreover, what about the two Void Refinement experts who appeared before him at this moment? They had previously engaged in a fierce battle with Xuan Qingzi, whose formidable strength had successfully depleted a significant portion of their power, severely weakening them. Therefore, facing these two "defeated" opponents, Zhang Yifan naturally dealt with them with increasing ease and composure.

The human cultivator Xiao Tianmu, a Void Refinement expert, clashed head-on with Zhang Yifan, exchanging blows for fifty rounds in the blink of an eye. During this time, he gradually realized how formidable Zhang Yifan was, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart. He had initially thought he could easily subdue this mid-stage Nascent Soul youth, but he hadn't expected him to be so troublesome. After enduring a few more blows, he knew he was outmatched and immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoist Black Flood Dragon, hold him off for now. I will use a secret technique to surely kill him!" With that, he hastily retreated.

Although the black dragon was unwilling, it knew that the situation was critical. If it did not cooperate, both of them would perish here today. Helpless, it could only endure Zhang Yifan's storm of attacks. Its massive body was constantly peeling off scales and bleeding profusely under the impact of sword energy and magic, but it still gritted its teeth and persevered, just to buy time for the human to reach the Void Refinement stage.

Seeing the black dragon desperately resisting, Zhang Yifan intensified his attacks, infusing his swordplay with more spiritual energy, attempting a swift victory. He flicked his longsword, unleashing the ultimate move of the Thunderous Sky-Splitting Sword, "Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens." In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and bolts of lightning as thick as buckets crashed down in response to his sword strike, their target the black dragon. Sensing the deadly danger, the black dragon raised its head and spewed out a curtain of black water, attempting to withstand the combined attack of lightning and sword energy. The water curtain collided with the lightning, producing a crackling sound, and water vapor filled the air. The ground around the black dragon was cratered and pitted by the lightning strikes.

Xiao Tianmu, a powerful cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm of the human race, stared intently ahead. When he saw Zhang Yifan tightly bound by the enormous black dragon, a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips. Without the slightest hesitation, he swiftly formed hand seals, his true essence surging wildly within him. In an instant, a hissing sound rang out, and wisps of white smoke billowed from his pores, swirling around him like clouds, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye.

The onlookers were startled by the sight and involuntarily took a few steps back. They stared wide-eyed at the figure shrouded in white smoke, wondering to themselves: Could this person be preparing some astonishingly powerful move? With this thought, a solemn expression appeared on everyone's face, and they became fully alert and on guard.

However, something unexpected happened! In the next instant, Xiao Tianmu, who had been shrouded in white smoke, vanished without a trace without warning, as if he had never been there at all. This sudden turn of events left everyone present speechless and at a loss for what to do.

Xuan Qingzi, who was standing not far away, was the first to come to his senses. He was slightly stunned at first, and then, as if realizing something, his expression suddenly changed. "This... could this be the legendary Great Teleportation Technique?" he muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief and shock.

It's important to understand that the Great Teleportation Technique is an extremely rare and profound magical ability. It allows a person to traverse vast distances in an instant, thus escaping immediate danger and predicament. However, casting this miraculous spell is no easy feat; it not only consumes a large amount of true essence and magical power but also causes considerable damage to the caster. Clearly, Xiao Tianmu was now driven into a corner, with no other option but to resort to such a method, sacrificing himself in a hasty and desperate escape.

Seeing this, the remaining black dragon was enraged and cursed, "Xiao Tianmu, you son of a bitch! I trusted you so much, risking my life to buy you time, and you betrayed me like that!" After cursing, it seemed to lose its spirit, lay down on the ground, and said to Zhang Yifan and the others in a defiant manner, "I'm not fighting anymore, kill me if you want." Then, it roared in the direction Xiao Tianmu had fled, "Xiao Tianmu, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Its appearance was both comical and tinged with a touch of pathos.

Seeing this, Zhang Yifan remained vigilant, his longsword still gripped tightly, its tip pointed at the black dragon in case it suddenly attacked. He turned to look at Xuan Qingzi, seeing that although the sect leader was pale, he was still standing there, which reassured him slightly. At this moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield eased slightly, but Zhang Yifan knew that the crisis was not completely over. Although the remaining black dragon seemed to have given up resistance, as a powerful demon, it was cunning and might still have hidden tricks up its sleeve.
