BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM Chapter 604: The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Three Beast Barbaric Desolation Art!
Previously on BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM...
Xiao Jin’s choice to pursue this path stemmed from his fascination with the Mulan Trio's unique cultivation method. It was an astonishing anomaly how three peak Douhuang-level experts could collectively manifest the might of a three-star Douzong.
Elder Mu Feng, a cultivator at the three-star Douzong level from the Mercenary Guild, found his fighting spirit inflamed by Xiao Jin's words. His gaze fixed intently on the Mulan Trio.
A moment of hesitation passed between the trio before the elder with the bear's head declared, “We fight with all we have!”
They believed that someone as formidable as Xiao Jin would not utter words lightly. If Granny Xuanhua had chosen to disengage after the initial exchange, perhaps her life could have been spared.
“Now is our chance—defeat Mu Feng!”
Having accepted their predicament, the Mulan Trio committed themselves fully to the fight, resolute in their pursuit of a slim chance for survival.
The bear-headed elder initiated the assault, rapidly closing the distance and driving his massive palm forcefully towards Mu Feng's chest.
“Thousand Seal Palm!”
Without yielding ground, Mu Feng met the incoming strike. A wave of power emanated from his palm, leaving a faint shimmering trail as it sliced through the air. The sharp sound of the air being torn echoed like a piercing cry.
“Bang!”
The powerful collision met the bear-headed man's palm with a resounding boom, sending a wave of numbness through his arm.
While the bear-headed elder fought with a life-risking resolve, this mindset rendered his attacks somewhat wild and uncoordinated. Mu Feng, in contrast, maintained a composed and lucid demeanor, his movements exhibiting greater precision.
Following his initial strike, Mu Feng immediately unleashed a second blow without a moment's delay. Having just absorbed the first impact, the bear-headed elder was unable to react in time. Given their close proximity, evasion was impossible, and he had to endure the full force of Mu Feng’s subsequent attack.
A wave of potent force erupted from Mu Feng’s fist into the bear-headed man’s chest. At that instant, a visible indentation appeared on the elder’s chest. He staggered backward several paces before compellingly regaining his balance with a mighty adjustment of his shoulders.
Having repelled the bear-headed elder with a single move, Mu Feng’s brow furrowed. At that moment, he detected a significant weakening of the elder’s aura.
Even as he processed this, another blast of oppressive force emanated from his flank. The attacker this time was the lion-headed elder.
The lion-headed elder’s punch managed to inflict a minor wound upon Mu Feng. However, instead of pressing his advantage, he retreated.
As Mu Feng observed the retreat, his pupils contracted. He discerned that the lion-headed elder’s aura, which had previously reached the zenith of a three-star Douzong, had abruptly plummeted to that of a newly ascended one-star Douzong.
“What is happening?”
Mu Feng’s gaze narrowed with suspicion. Behind him, another assault, characteristic of a three-star Douzong, arrived precisely on cue. This time, Mu Feng needed no deduction – it was undoubtedly the tiger-headed elder, who had yet to engage.
His thoughts raced. Mu Feng pivoted abruptly, and with a surge of power, his fist met the tiger-headed elder’s punch head-on.
Boom!
The clash of their blows sent a tremor through Mu Feng’s blood, forcing him to stagger back several paces. After engaging in such intense exchanges with these three desperate combatants, even he began to experience the strain.
Pushing off from mid-air, Mu Feng steadied himself and looked towards the tiger-headed elder, who had retreated after their contact.
He observed that as the tiger-headed elder withdrew, his aura, too, had sharply diminished to the level of an early one-star Douzong.
As Mu Feng’s gaze swept across the three formidable figures surrounding him, a spark of comprehension finally ignited in his eyes.
“So, this is the way of it...”
Following the preceding exchanges, Mu Feng had almost definitively concluded that despite their coordinated, life-risking assaults, only one of them could launch an attack at any given moment. Furthermore, at the instant of attack, their aura would momentarily surge to the three-star Douzong level.
In essence, the “Three Beast Barbaric Desolation Art” they practiced served to consolidate the strength of all three into a single individual, enabling them to wield the power of a three-star Douzong. Nevertheless, this heightened power could only be channeled by one person at a time, while the other two would suffer a drastic reduction in their capabilities, regressing to the one-star Douzong realm.
This technique functioned akin to temporarily grafting the martial prowess of the other two onto the third, thereby allowing him to exhibit power at the three-star Douzong echelon.
“If that’s the situation, then my course of action is clear: I must swiftly counter the empowered individual’s assault and then immediately target the other two, whose strength has significantly diminished. This could expose a critical weakness in their martial technique!” Mu Feng’s eyes narrowed as he observed the trio, silently forming a plan in his mind. He had, by this point, already discerned the secret behind the Three Beast Barbaric Desolation Art.
Meanwhile, high above, Xiao Jin stood suspended in the air, having already grasped the secret of this technique through prior observation.
The Mulan Trio were not the instigators of this entire affair—they had merely been manipulated by Yan Luotian. Consequently, there was no absolute necessity to end their lives.
Xiao Jin’s objective was straightforward: should the trio willingly surrender the Three Beast Barbaric Desolation Art, their lives could be spared.
At this precise moment, the elder with the tiger head once more broke free from the formation and surged forward with unexpected speed.
A resounding tiger’s roar erupted from his throat, causing the dense, blood-colored light enshrouding him to intensify. Clenching his fist, the crimson glow surged with immense power before coalescing into a distinct, energy-infused tiger claw. This phantom claw sliced through the very fabric of the void, leaving subtle trails in its wake.
“Be vanquished!”
The tiger-headed elder bellowed and lunged, vanishing from his position and reappearing before Mu Feng in the blink of an eye. The blood-red energy-clad, razor-sharp tiger claw radiated a bone-chilling aura. With a swift movement of his arm, he viciously swiped toward Mu Feng’s throat, clearly intending to sever his head.
“Hmph!”
Upon witnessing this, Mu Feng emitted a cold snort and instantly evaded to the side, creating distance from the tiger-headed elder.
Once he had gained a safe distance, Mu Feng unleashed the formidable energy he had accumulated in both his palms. To the astonishment of all present, he did not strike the tiger-headed elder—instead, his attack was directed at the bear-headed and lion-headed elders, who had not yet engaged in the fight.
“Whoosh!”
Two projectiles, each imbued with the power of a three-star Douzong expert, were launched with formidable force toward the two remaining elders.
Witnessing this unexpected maneuver, the tiger-headed elder, who was still in pursuit, paused in sheer surprise, his expression instantly transforming.
In the subsequent moment, his imposing aura rapidly vanished, while on the other side, the bear-headed elder’s aura exploded, immediately escalating to the level of a three-star Douzong. However, at this critical juncture, the lion-headed elder was left defenseless against Mu Feng’s devastating strike.
