Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 282 - 50 Approaching

At the same time, the black aura transformed, as if sensing a threat, and seemed to draw out deeper black aura amidst its changes. Meanwhile, the mist around the Black Dragon Pool grew denser.

As Cai Bao wielded his dagger, his gaze shifted back and forth between Xiang Liangji and the black aura.

Ultimately, he fixed his gaze on Xiang Liangji.

"Kill Xiang Liangji, then find a way to dispel the black aura. Letting them leave would make it impossible to hold onto the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower," Cai Bao thought to himself, raising his dagger.

In almost the blink of an eye, the dagger suddenly expanded into a glowing blade of three feet, resembling a long blade of flames with heat waves surging.

"Pawns of Qingmu Martial Academy, coveting the treasures of our Xuri Martial Academy. If it wasn’t for me being here today, you might have really succeeded," Cai Bao sneered coldly, pointing the tip of the long blade straight at Xiang Liangji in the distance.

As he spoke, Cai Bao’s body suddenly burst forth, akin to a fierce tiger leaping from the mountain stream, charging towards Xiang Liangji.

Xiang Liangji felt the opponent’s fiery blade, with an unstoppable sharpness, clearly not something a person of Cai Bao’s level could possess.

"Perfect for my use."

Xiang Liangji’s expression showed a trace of horror, meanwhile, he activated his energy, enveloping the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower.

Just as he activated his energy, Cai Bao’s flaming long blade was already sweeping down.

The descending blade light carried an unmatched sharpness, slicing downward, almost splitting the misty water vapor into two.

Xiang Liangji dared not resist, his body turned sideways, his feet akin to a nimble cat jumped aside, then moved close to the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower, seemingly intending to seize it by force.

Clang.

A half-foot-long path appeared on the ground. The surrounding vegetation was shattered into countless fragments, flying everywhere.

Cai Bao’s attack did not succeed, clearly he had anticipated this.

"I have the seal’s genuine essence, what do you have to compete with me?" Cai Bao was extremely arrogant at this moment, laughing loudly.

Watching Xiang Liangji evade, his form transformed again, chasing Xiang Liangji with another slash.

The long blade was extremely sharp, Xiang Liangji dared not block, evading once more.

Swish swish swish!

Countless blade lights flashed, and in an instant, the two had already exchanged countless blows.

Clang!

Metal clashed. Xiang Liangji had no choice but to use his wooden staff to block the flaming long blade.

But after blocking, his expression showed a slight shock. The end of the wooden staff was cut off a large section.

"Hahaha. This blade is comparable to genuine essence, still thinking of resisting with mere rotten wood. That wooden staff can only be used as firewood, might as well throw it away," Cai Bao sneered after cutting off a section of the wooden staff.

Now he fully controlled the situation, continuing to suppress, only waiting for Xiang Liangji to show a slight flaw, at which point he could seize the opportunity to completely kill him.

Xiang Liangji’s gaze lingered on the broken wooden staff, an expression of disbelief seemed to appear on his face.

Yet, deep down, he was extremely calm, sensing that his secret skill was ready, it was the perfect moment to trap the opponent.

Just as Cai Bao pressed down with his blade again, Xiang Liangji muttered under his breath.

"Yihua Secret Skill, Six Qi Trigger."

Suddenly, his internal energy broke from its apertures, countless Wood Spirit Energy triggered by obscure secret methods.

In an instant, the aura of the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower suddenly disappeared. From the broken wooden staff, the fragrance of the spirit flower emerged.

Just as he activated his secret skill, the black aura hovering over the pool violently erupted.

Because in its perception, the aura of the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower actually vanished, and appeared elsewhere.

In the void, the black aura suddenly halted, converging to form a furious dragon’s head.

The dragon head was hideous, opening a blood-red mouth roaring at Cai Bao. For the broken wooden staff was right beside him.

Cai Bao sensed the violent black aura, his confident expression changed instantly.

"Why is the black aura coming straight for me? The Ink Spirit Flower is out of reach!" Cai Bao’s eyes became cold, his mind racing.

Looking at Xiang Liangji staring at him, his face no longer showed any surprise, only a confidence brimming with certainty. That gaze of his showed endless mocking.

"Double-crossed," Cai Bao was furious, his body suddenly flashed to the side, wanting to avoid the black aura’s attack.

If the black aura came to attack him, it must think he took the treasure.

"Trying to escape, it’s not that easy." Xiang Liangji’s mouth revealed a sly smile.

The moment Cai Bao moved, Xiang Liangji followed closely.

He had now completely concealed the treasure’s aura, while triggering the aura on the broken wooden staff onto Cai Bao.

All that was needed was to simulate the treasure’s aura, making the black aura believe Cai Bao took the treasure.

Thus he could control the situation, letting them both perish together.

As he contemplated, the black aura indeed rushed straight at Cai Bao as Xiang Liangji predicted.

Watching this unfold, Cai Bao now understood completely.

"Cunning calculation," his face visibly blushed with rage, his heart surging with anger.

But facing the black aura’s attack, he dared not be careless. His energy erupted, a crimson divine figure emerging from behind him.

"Only choice is to slash the black aura away." The crimson figure gripped the long blade, instantly slashing towards the approaching black aura.

Boom!

The blade light collided with the black aura.

At the point of impact, countless storms spread, water vapor surged, and visible ripples scattered.

The blade light and black aura both annihilated, yet the blade light of Cai Bao’s long blade was shortened.

"Able to annihilate genuine spiritual essence! This thing is so formidable!"

Cai Bao and Xiang Liangji both trembled.

At this moment, Cai Bao stomped his foot in frustration, seeing the blade light shortened, feeling regretful.

This blade’s essence reduced by each use.

Meanwhile, the partial annihilation of the black aura made the remaining black aura even more violent.

Reforming into a dragon, it charged straight at Cai Bao.

Cai Bao had no choice but to continue using his blade to consume the black aura.

Xiang Liangji needed to keep controlling the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower’s aura close to Cai Bao, hence had to follow suit.

Among the three, it was an intense battle. Countless explosive gusts continued to blow, sending surrounding stones and vegetation flying.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Gu Baoshi and another black-robed brute were locked in intense combat.

Their strengths were evenly matched, similarly competing without resolution.

Amidst their intense battle.

Hidden within the clouds and mist, a stealthy figure quietly appeared by the poolside.

Sensing the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower seems concealed by a unique energy fluctuation, Lin Yuan stood quietly by the pool without making any move.

At this moment, he activated Cloud Traceless, using the surrounding mist, unaware of his presence by the poolside.

Simultaneously with Cai Bao and others near the Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower, he also arrived by the pool.

Having entered the second layer, along with the misty environment, he could almost follow the water’s turbulence to detect all surrounding movements.

He withheld himself from acting upon discovering Xiang Liangji and the others’ traces.

The Smoke Rain Ink Spirit Flower was extremely valuable, the two sides were sure to engage in a fierce battle.

Originally, at the first moment of their confrontation, he intended to stop whoever picked the Ink Spirit Flower.

But his innate instinct sensed danger lurking within the pool.

He only needed to wait for someone to take the Ink Spirit Flower before taking action.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of the black aura was unforeseen.

But this was good, now he wouldn’t need to alarm any sides until they settle their rivalry.

As Lin Yuan quietly waited, amidst the intense battle between the three, an unexpected change occurred.
