~4 minute read · 963 words

The Crossing the River move stands as the fiercest technique among the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms. Clashing it straight against Du Zundao right then produced a thunderous boom from the fist and palm smashing together. Instantly after, both fighters got blasted backward by the overwhelming power.

Sizzle sizzle...

Long trails scarred the ground from their skidding feet. A faint flame flickered up behind Chen Jie, whereas a thin ice shard materialized behind Du Zundao.

White vapor hissed outward.

The clash wrapped up in a deadlock for the pair.

Observing Chen Jie in this state, Du Zundao narrowed his eyes while musing inwardly, "This guy's power is solid, far beyond what regular folks can handle."

Pressing on with brute force could mean paying a steep price, even if victory came my way.

With these thoughts, Du Zundao turned to Chen Jiusi and commented, "Friend, your strength is not bad."

"Not as impressive as the Dharma King."

Chen Jie stayed quite humble. Noting Chen Jie’s modest look, Du Zundao suggested, "Wanna chat?"

Chen Jie replied, "Is there any need for a chat?"

Du Zundao chuckled, "Hehe, let’s chat. After all, the Jianghu isn’t only about fighting and killing—it’s also about building connections."

Chen Jie responded, "Oh, it seems the Dharma King wants to recruit me."

Du Zundao stated, "I’ve always valued talented people. That brief clash earlier revealed plenty. Since things stand like this, why not call it even? My Holy Sect needs strong hands. Join us, and I’ll offer you a Dharma King position."

Chen Jie countered, "Your offer doesn’t tempt me as much as Ming King’s."

Du Zundao’s expression darkened a bit, "Fine, once I claim the Sect Hierarch spot successfully, I’ll think about handing over the Melt God Pill. But in return, you join my Holy Sect and serve as my right-hand man."

Chen Jie eyed Du Zundao and remarked, "Dharma King, you’re truly generous. By your plan, I shouldn’t demand more, but sadly, I chase other goals. Could the Dharma King lend me the Qiankun Great Method for cultivation?"

"Chen, don’t push your luck!"

Chen Jie’s demand ignited Du Zundao’s fury. The Qiankun Great Method was his untouchable taboo, reserved solely for the Zoroastrian Sect’s Sect Hierarch. Yet Chen Jiusi had long fixated on mastering this Qiankun Great Method.

What’s his game? Does he still eye the Zoroastrian Sect’s legacy? Such notions filled Du Zundao’s gaze with murderous intent, clearly signaling his intent to kill.

Chen Jie regarded Du Zundao, "Dharma King, looks like you can’t meet my conditions?"

Chen Jie had no real options. His goal in coming was the Qiankun Great Method, vital for purging the Blood Devouring Poison from his body. Without resolving it, his power stayed locked at Half-step Dragon Realm.

Besides, Du Zundao proved no pushover. Bargaining with him equaled dancing with a tiger.

Inside here, the unique Cultivation Technique allowed negotiation chances, but outside, sans Gang Qi suppression, Du Zundao regained Melt God Realm might, while Chen Jie lingered at Half-step Dragon. To Du Zundao, Chen Jiusi’s worth would drop to nothing.

What? Expect Du Zundao to honor deals?

Sorry, he only pledges to equals, and by then, Chen Jie would seem like a mere ant he could squash. No need for Jianghu codes with bugs!

Thus, only here could Chen Jie bargain as an equal with Du Zundao. Outside, Chen Jiusi wouldn’t dare raise his voice.

So promises like Melt God Pill or Dharma King role were empty fantasies. Should Chen Jiusi buy in blindly and agree...

Disaster awaited.

Hence, Chen Jie had to grab the Qiankun Great Method, restore his strength—otherwise, talk meant zilch.

Hearing this, Du Zundao stared at Chen Jie, nodded faintly, and declared, "Alright, alright, then there’s no more to say."

Chen Jie knew talks were doomed from the start; Du Zundao just lacked his full story. If aware of the Cultivation seal from Blood Devouring Poison needing Qiankun Great Method for cure, he’d grasp negotiation failure today.

With that, Du Zundao snorted coldly and warned, "Then you’re courting death."

Without hesitation, he charged straight ahead, his fist launching into the Ice Soul Divine Tiger Fist. Chen Jie had pierced through Du Zundao’s true capabilities and refused to underestimate him, so he twisted his body in a flip, then swiftly countered by deploying the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms. Today, they were destined to settle the score and crown a supreme victor.

Once again, the pair clashed in combat, the ferocity of this showdown surpassing their earlier exchange. Ice Soul Divine Tiger Fist intertwined with Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, weaving ice and flames through the sky to birth a dazzling ’Ice and Fire Flower’ within the swirling haze.

Boom, boom, boom...

As their brutal fight intensified, the nearby lava pools churned wildly, hurling molten splatters everywhere, while the sheer might of their blows disrupted even the sealed icy energies on the opposite side.

The two battled using True Fire.

Filled with fury, Du Zundao unleashed the Killing Move of his Ice Soul Divine Tiger Fist, [Ice Soul Tiger Roar]. His fists collided, drawing in chilling air from the frozen realm, which then burst into the fiery domain; under his skillful control, it swiftly shaped into a colossal ice tiger.

The ice tiger let out a mighty roar and lunged at Chen Jie, who showed no mercy in response—he whirled around on the spot to release the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms’ most powerful Killing Move. In that instant, a dragon’s roar thundered forth, followed by a enigmatic force spiraling through the air, instantly forming into Flame Power above.
