Chapter 1706 - 1706: Corpse Ghost Dragon Makes a Move

Luan Ping and Helian Tiehua had been dueling for quite a while, yet Helian Tiehua's attacks grew increasingly aggressive. Though Luan Ping originally held the upper hand over Helian Tiehua, now in the battle, he was being steadily suppressed by Helian Tiehua.In reality, with Luan Ping's strength, if he were to decide the victor with Helian Tiehua, it would definitely take some effort. However, while fighting Helian Tiehua, he kept worrying internally. He was unsure whether Corpse Ghost Dragon could emerge; if Corpse Ghost Dragon were truly too injured to act, he would be doomed if they were encircled this time, which kept him unable to fully focus.

To add, Huangfu Ziyu kept launching sneak attacks at him using the Sun Shooting Bow. After a few minutes of this, Helian Tiehua managed to land a punch on Luan Ping. Although Luan Ping managed to deflect most of the Vigor Power, he still suffered some internal injuries, making even the circulation of Inner Strength difficult, and leaving him at an even greater disadvantage in a direct clash with Helian Tiehua.

The situation made Luan Ping's heart fill with worry; Shen Qianyue had gone into the villa for a while without any signs, and he'd started considering retreating. He knew clearly that if he took the opportunity to flee now, he had a ninety percent chance of escaping. However, if he continued to entangle here, he'd definitely lose his life.

While Luan Ping hesitated, many people behind were already quietly slipping away. After Corpse Ghost Dragon got injured, he never appeared, and the confidence these people had in Corpse Ghost Dragon started to waver. Seeing the dangerous situation now, they certainly didn't want to stay and wait for death.

Seeing these people retreating, Luan Ping also came up with a plan; he defended against Helian Tiehua's attacks while secretly observing his surroundings, looking for an opportunity to escape.

However, just as Luan Ping found his direction and was about to turn and escape, a roar from Corpse Ghost Dragon suddenly erupted from inside the villa. Luan Ping froze, as the villa's door suddenly opened, followed by a purple flame charging out directly toward Helian Tiehua, leaving him without a chance to react.

Helian Tiehua was in pursuit of Luan Ping, never expecting Corpse Ghost Dragon to emerge. Hearing the sound, he immediately retreated backward. Yet, in terms of speed, he was ultimately slower than Corpse Ghost Dragon, and was directly collided with by Corpse Ghost Dragon. The purple flame scorched Helian Tiehua's body directly.

"Roar!" Even someone as formidable as Helian Tiehua couldn't help but roar in agony, showing the burning pain of the Purple Lotus Karma Fire. Helian Tiehua hurriedly retreated backward.

"Can you escape?" Corpse Ghost Dragon coldly laughed, pursuing fiercely. Helian Tiehua's speed was inferior to his; so chased relentlessly, the purple flames continued to scorch Helian Tiehua's body.

After Helian Tiehua let out his initial cry of pain, he clenched his teeth and endured the agony. However, watching from afar, Huangfu Ziyu could see that Helian Tiehua must be suffering greatly, as his body was trembling.

"Uncle Helian!" Huangfu Ziyu shouted loudly, drawing a full bow, and an air arrow shot forth directly.

Helian Tiehua was quite familiar with teaming up with Huangfu Ziyu. Hearing Huangfu Ziyu's shout, he knew what Huangfu Ziyu intended. As the air arrow approached his back, he suddenly lunged sideways, evading the arrow, which instead aimed directly toward Corpse Ghost Dragon.

Facing the air arrow, Corpse Ghost Dragon did not dodge but took it head-on. The arrow seemed not to harm Corpse Ghost Dragon at all, merely slowing his pace. Meanwhile, Helian Tiehua took the chance to retreat two steps, moving most of his body out of the range of the purple flames.

Huangfu Ziyu, floating in midair, upon seeing this, shot several more air arrows down. Each arrow hit Corpse Ghost Dragon's body, forcing him back by one step, and at the same time, provided Helian Tiehua with the opportunity to retreat over ten meters more, evading the range of the purple flames. Yet, judging by Helian Tiehua's face twisted in pain, he was clearly quite injured!

Corpse Ghost Dragon, pushed back by Huangfu Ziyu, was visibly enraged. He suddenly looked up and glared at Huangfu Ziyu, and with a wave of his right hand, sent a purple flame rushing toward Huangfu Ziyu.

Having seen Helian Tiehua endure the painful burning of the purple flames, Huangfu Ziyu dared not to take it head-on. As the flames approached, she immediately retreated backward. But the purple flames were fast, almost reaching her instantly, seeming unavoidable.

"Zi Yu, dodge!" A shout abruptly came from behind, and without thinking, Huangfu Ziyu swiftly maneuvered her body in the air. Just as she turned around, a powerful wind surged from behind, colliding with the purple flames directly, dispersing them.

Only then did Huangfu Ziyu see not far behind her, Shen Tianjun and a masked elder had arrived at some point. Both of them stood with Helian Tiehua, staring intensely at Corpse Ghost Dragon, who was engulfed entirely in purple flames, faces showing full alertness.

After the recent clash, everyone understood that Corpse Ghost Dragon wasn't just capable of acting; his strength wasn't weak either. Without a doubt, none of the people present were a match for him!

"Humph, now you all have come, which is perfect, saves me the effort!" Corpse Ghost Dragon laughed coldly, saying, "I was just worried about not finding people to replenish my power. You all, are my best supplements. And a Sun Shooting Bow — looks like today I'll gain quite a lot!"

Faced with Corpse Ghost Dragon's arrogant demeanor, none dared to show the slightest negligence. Shen Tianjun employed his whole Cultivation Power defensively against Corpse Ghost Dragon while softly instructing, "Zi Yu, you must go first!"

Huangfu Ziyu rushed behind Shen Tianjun and the others, and said, "Master, I can take care of myself!"

Shen Tianjun didn't say anything more. Huangfu Ziyu was holding the Sun Shooting Bow that allowed her to float in the air, making it much easier for her to escape than the others. Moreover, she could provide distant support with the bow at any time, which was very useful.

"Not running is the right choice. You can't escape anyway, why waste strength?" The Corpse Ghost Dragon sneered, casually pulling out a flame from his body, tossing it like a ball between his hands. This Purple Lotus Karma Fire on him seemed to have no effect at all.

Watching this situation, the four here were even more shocked. The Purple Lotus Karma Fire was still burning on the Corpse Ghost Dragon, yet he acted so easily. What was going on?

Shen Tianjun, Helian Tiehua, and the masked elder exchanged glances. Suddenly, Helian Tiehua let out a loud shout and charged to the side, lifting a large boulder. This boulder was about twice the height of a person, weighing well over a thousand pounds, but Helian Tiehua threw it at the Corpse Ghost Dragon like a weapon.

Facing such a large boulder, the Corpse Ghost Dragon did not take it head-on and directly dodged sideways. But just as he stepped aside, the masked elder had already leaped over, drawing a large circle with his hands that just enveloped him.

Enclosed by this large circle, the Corpse Ghost Dragon could instantly feel his power within starting to reverse flow. His actions also went into reverse; the step he took forward turned into a retreat. Even his breathing reversed, as he intended to exhale, it instantly became inhaling. Importantly, the power within him kept repeating this process without cease, making him move forward and backward in place in an endless cycle.

Endless Cycle is the name of this Unique Skill by the masked elder, making people continually perform the same action. This is a secret technique passed down by the Patriarch Bodhidharma, extraordinarily powerful, even the Corpse Ghost Dragon was trapped by this move.

However, ultimately the Corpse Ghost Dragon was the Corpse Ghost Dragon, feeling this situation enraged him. He let out a roar, summoning power throughout his body to break free from the shackles. Before he could break free from this power limitation, Shen Tianjun pounced again, striking his body with Karma Retribution.

At this strike, the True Qi the Corpse Ghost Dragon had accumulated became chaotic again, his right hand which just raised inadvertently hit his own body, leaving him startled.

Simultaneously, Helian Tiehua had already jumped over, grabbing the boulder that had not yet hit the ground, and smashed it towards the Corpse Ghost Dragon. In this situation, the Corpse Ghost Dragon had no way to evade and was hit by the boulder over one person's height!

"Ah!?" Corpse Ghost Dragon's subordinates all exclaimed. Being hit by such a large stone would either kill or severely injure him.

However, after Helian Tiehua smashed the boulder down, he dared not linger for a moment and turned to leave. Shen Tianjun and the masked elder did the same, turning around with Helian Tiehua to flee, not daring to stay here.

Seeing these three Peak Masters retreat, Huangfu Ziyu naturally could no longer linger here either, and could only follow the three in retreat.

The group had barely retreated a hundred meters when the boulder suddenly exploded apart, and the Corpse Ghost Dragon, engulfed in purple flames, soared into the sky, letting out roaring sounds. Unfortunately, by this time, it was too late for him to chase Shen Tianjun and the others.

The subordinates of the Corpse Ghost Dragon were greatly astonished that he could emerge unharmed under such circumstances.

"The Grand Master's prowess is indeed unparalleled; those jumping clowns are no match for the Grand Master. With a casual move, the Grand Master scared them into fleeing for their lives!" Luan Ping hastily shouted.

"The Grand Master is number one in the world, unmatched!"

"Those jumping clowns don't dare take on a second strike from the Grand Master!"

"What Five Unmatches of the World, in front of the Grand Master, are all worthless!"

Everyone began flattering and fawning over, each trying not to lag behind the others, boasting more and more.

The Corpse Ghost Dragon ignored them all, nor did he pursue Shen Tianjun and the others, merely turning and heading back into the villa.
