Chapter 274: 0192 Dragon City Chief (4k for monthly ticket subscriptions)

Golden Body, actually shattered for a moment.

Lu Chenzhou did not panic but was thrilled instead; his heart thundered restlessly, igniting his surging Qi-Blood into an invisible blaze that burnt fiercely. Beneath the golden light, his skin turned crimson and translucent like a searing iron, emitting intense heat. His burning right arm shook off the Phoenix Forms Claw, and his right palm struck with an enveloping air pressure!

Black Tiger Mountain Venerate·Mountain Shattering Palm!

The Phoenix Eye Fist struck like a drill, clashing with the steel-like Tiger Palm. After the metallic resonance, Ding Jingqiu, the Spiritual Phoenix, spun around, using the Evil Phoenix Soaring Power to circle the arena and divert the force. Taking advantage of this strike, he transformed into a comet, spinning as he charged and attacked.

Ding Jingqiu crossed his palms, grasped the void, and tore fiercely!

White Phoenix Cross Strike!

Two streams of invisible power winds rolled up ripples in the air, creating tangible blades of air that broke through the void, aiming straight for Lu Chenzhou’s face. He had no choice but to block with his arms, and amidst the sounds of shattering golden light, the Qi-blades penetrated his body, tearing through muscle and skin.

Drip, drip...

Blood streamed down from Lu Chenzhou’s arms.

"Breaking my Golden Body? Powerful enough!"

Lu Chenzhou laughed as he rushed forward. His arms tensed, muscles compressed, converging the wounds to one point, visibly restoring the Golden Film and forming it into armor!

Ding Jingqiu’s expression drastically changed.

"Clashing with the Cross Strike with such force? Is the Arhat Skill really that exaggerated?"

He thought Lu Chenzhou only practiced Arhat Skill, unaware that Lu Chenzhou had subsequently trained in the Golden Body Skill, continuously strengthening and tempering the Golden Film of the Arhat Skill. When it came to just the upper body’s cross training, he had long surpassed the usual second-class standards, nearing first-class!

Thump! Thump!

Lu Chenzhou unleashed serial punches, beads falling on a jade plate, crackling explosively. Although his high-speed punches couldn’t form Qi-blades like the Phoenix Form, they still forced Ding Jingqiu to instinctively close his eyes with the pressure, as he moved backward with uncanny evasion.

Phoenix Form’s main advantage in martial arts is speed that cannot be surpassed!

In terms of movement technique and attack speed, it ranks among the top among the hundred forms!

On the platform.

Lu Chenzhou transformed into the Black Tiger, pursuing the white phoenix soaring through the skies. The two forces clashed dozens of times in a short span, shaking the air and destabilizing the platform!

"Brilliant! Brilliant!"

"These two are too strong."

"This is the first time I’ve seen Lu Chenzhou get injured."

The audience below the stage all clapped and cheered.

Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou paused, then shook the ground with his feet, boom, boom! Accompanied by two muffled sounds, the iron floor of the platform vibrated and hummed, dust flying everywhere.

In terms of movement techniques, Lu Chenzhou was at a complete disadvantage.

On one hand, the Phoenix Form was strong, and on the other, his "Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps" were not yet Perfect, obviously outmatched by the opponent’s first-class technique.

Thus, he stopped pursuing.

To confront motion with stillness, to answer myriad changes with constancy.

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes slightly lowered as he stood still like an ancient Buddha, his arms naturally drooping. He seemed extremely relaxed, with his upper, middle, and lower gates wide open, abandoning defense.

Ding Jingqiu understood Lu Chenzhou’s intent, so he also slowed down, circling around Lu Chenzhou at a leisurely pace, occasionally making feint steps and then swiftly retracting them.

After testing ten times, he faked a lunge, quickly retracted, then turned into a thunderclap, tearing through the void with utmost speed.

Just as Lu Chenzhou was lifting his arms, Ding Jingqiu’s Phoenix Forms Claw locked onto Lu Chenzhou’s joints. The force of the high-speed impact sent Lu Chenzhou flying backward. Like a golden eagle seizing a sheep, Ding Jingqiu lifted high and then plummeted sharply!

Smash!

Lu Chenzhou landed heavily on the ground, crashing onto the floor, thinking to himself:

"Now is the moment!"

Enduring the turmoil of his Qi-Blood and the intense pain in his back, he spun, his legs flipping over with the "Black Dragon Twisting Pillar" to coil around Ding Jingqiu’s waist!

Ding Jingqiu gasped in shock, and with all his might, he shouted:

"White Phoenix Shattering Star Strike!"

The force of breaking gold and stone was focused into a single point. Lu Chenzhou’s arms, covered in the Golden Film, were perforated, blood gushing out. His veins bulged, muscles expanded, and Innate Strength from his Dantian soared to the clouds, Qi rushing to the crown, where a golden radiance flickered at the top of his head. Suddenly, he arched his waist and rose up, as if a recumbent Buddha stood, using his head as a hammer, striking the morning bell!

Dong... The sound lingered on.

Golden Head Skill was used just like this!

Innate Strength exploded on Ding Jingqiu’s chest. His sturdy pectoral muscles scattered, waves rippled out, tearing flesh and tissue, bringing agonizing pain!

In terms of speed, Lu Chenzhou was indeed lacking, so he could only exchange injury for injury, only then finding this opportunity. But when it came to defense and strength, Ding Jingqiu equally stood no chance.

A simple and unadorned headbutt shook his internal organs like an earthquake, stomach acids churned, Qi-Blood unsettled, and a stifled breath sprayed out of his mouth, carrying a mist of blood.

Pfft.

Ding Jingqiu turned pale, gave up attacking, and shook off Lu Chenzhou’s legs, trying to continue circling and killing. Lu Chenzhou grabbed his ankle in one swift capture, suddenly flipped over, and upon rising, embraced Ding Jingqiu in his arms, leaning his shoulders like collapsing city walls against him.

Smash!

Ding Jingqiu crashed to the ground, and Lu Chenzhou pounced on him, flipping over to sit on his opponent’s waist. His muscular fists pounded like pile drivers on a construction site, slamming into the nape of the neck.

Ding Jingqiu’s palms struck the ground to cushion the blow, barely avoiding a broken neck.

"Brother Lu, I’ve lost."

Realizing he had no chance of turning the tide and for safety, he conceded in time.

Lu Chenzhou got up and left the platform.

This battle was more perilous than he had anticipated.

Though he practiced Tiger Swallow Dual Forms, even after enhancing his second-class Swallow Form routines, he was still full of flaws against the Phoenix Form, and his evasive maneuvers were no use.

"I need to strengthen my movement techniques when I get back. I can’t have such an obvious weakness."

Below the platform, Shi Ruyu grabbed Lu Chenzhou’s arm.

"Are you alright?"

She had just witnessed the bloodshed.
