Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 867: IUD-Chapter 862 Martial Arts and Seisenjutsu

“Clang!”

A broken section of the sword body smashed onto the ground, causing the sound of steel to ring out as the Ancient Sword in Fan Xinglou’s hand suddenly broke like this, without the slightest warning.

“Even if countless talismans are attached to the sword, there’s still no way to avoid it being cut, huh?”

Fan Xinglou nonchalantly tossed the broken sword in her hand aside, her eyes filled with amusement.

“Your use of those eyes has become much more skillful, and even your techniques have upgraded to an inhuman Rank. It seems the sword this old one gave you is being fully utilized, not wasting the effort this old one put into giving it to you.”

This is probably the highest evaluation Fan Xinglou has given to anyone so far, isn’t it?

However, Fang Li has the qualifications to receive this evaluation.

Whether it’s the application of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception or the use of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, Fang Li has already upgraded to a realm where he wouldn’t lose to anyone.

Not to mention anything else, just speaking of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, with Fang Li’s current mastery of it, it has reached a level that would shock even its creator.

To put it with no trace of politeness, nowadays, the Nanaya Assassination Technique in Fang Li’s hands has become a supreme skill he can use to do as one pleases.

Let alone Bo Xie, no matter what kind of weapon it is, Fang Li can wield it with the godlike technique of Flashing Scabbard.

In other words, Fang Li has already mastered the essence and principles of the Nanaya Assassination Technique.

No matter what kind of weapon it is, even one he has never used before, Fang Li can still unleash the ultimate moves of the Nanaya Assassination Technique with it.

The current Nanaya Assassination Technique, in Fang Li’s hands, is no longer just a combat skill— it can even evolve into an entire school of techniques.

It can be said that this ultimate skill has fused into Fang Li’s body, becoming his instinct.

“For a Martial Arts technique to be upgraded to this realm, that is already the highest Rank. I believe that even if there truly were a Martial God in this world, in terms of Assassination Technique alone, it would be impossible for them to surpass you.” Fan Xinglou praised him without holding back.

“As expected, your Innate Skill in this path is enough to rival the gods— no one can match you.”

Fan Xinglou’s evaluation, which couldn’t be any higher, didn’t cause the slightest change in Fang Li’s expression.

Fang Li only met Fan Xinglou’s amused eyes and spoke as follows.

“If Master were in your prime, then this disciple wouldn’t have been able to win this round in close combat so easily, right?”

The current Fan Xinglou is not in her prime.

This is something anyone who knows her true origins is aware of.

It’s easy to understand when you think about it.

Even as a Monster Immortal who has lived for over a thousand years, Fan Xinglou still reincarnated into a child less than ten years old.

Even if her Martial Arts reach the heavens, if her physical condition hasn’t improved, it still falls far short of what it once was.

Since she has reincarnated, Fan Xinglou can only train her body from scratch and enhance her physical Ability.

It’s impossible for this body to regain the power of her prime.

“From this disciple’s perspective, with Master as you are now, in close combat, your strength is probably not even half of what it was in the past, right?” Fang Li said as follows: “This can hardly be called the student surpassing the master.”

“There’s no need to belittle yourself.” Fan Xinglou shook her head and said as follows: “Indeed, because of this body, this old one’s strength is less than half of what it was. If this old one in her prime was a ‘Ten,’ then now it’s only at the level of ‘Three’ or ‘Four.ʼ”

Saying this, Fan Xinglou looked at Fang Li with a burning gaze.

“But that’s at most only in close combat.”

“If it’s Seisenjutsu, then it’s a different story.”

As her words fell, Fan Xinglou brought her middle and index fingers together, forming a Magic Seal.

“Buzz————!”

Amid the trembling sound of the air, Mana seemed to transform into a vortex, wildly swirling around Fan Xinglou’s body.

The density of that Mana was enough to slightly distort space.

Seeing this, Fang Li’s pair of ice blue Mystic Eyes suddenly narrowed.

Fan Xinglou’s voice rang out again.

“In this old one’s era, because the scale of Invertia was never as large as it was in the twentieth century, Mana was extremely scarce, far less abundant than it is now. It could easily cause all sorts of phenomena, but the Genestellar’s Ability was low, and even the quality and quantity of Prana were extremely weak, making it difficult to twist the laws of the world.”

“But in today’s era, Mana is extremely abundant, and the amount of Prana one can hold has greatly increased.”

“As a result, this old one’s Seisenjutsu is at least several times, if not dozens of times, stronger than it was in the past.”

“Perhaps, in terms of Martial Arts, this old one is still far from what I once was.”

“However, in Seisenjutsu, it has surpassed what it was before.”

As Fan Xinglou’s words concluded, the laws of the world were twisted.

“Choku!”

With a short command, a violent wind whipped up around Fan Xinglou’s body.

It was a storm capable of shattering space.

As the ground around Fan Xinglou trembled, causing the bedrock to collapse and all the rubble and debris to be swept up into it, the terrifying storm turned into a shocking torrent, rushing toward Fang Li.

In that moment, even the cloud layer around the mountaintop seemed to be stirred by the airflow caused by the storm.

Centered on the peak, it formed a vortex and began to churn.

The terrifying storm swept through space, enveloping Fang Li.

His sensitivity to “Death” made Fang Li instantly understand.

That strike was absolutely impossible to block.

Even if he exhausted all his Prana, as he had when facing the Scarlet Blazing God in the past, upgrading his defensive power to a Rank rivaling a warship, he would still be shattered to pieces and bleed out under the direct hit of that storm.

Fan Xinglou’s Seisenjutsu was fearsome to this Rank.

Thus, Fang Li’s pair of ice blue Mystic Eyes flared to life.

“Boom!”

With an explosive sound, Fang Li shattered the ground beneath his feet, advancing instead of retreating, charging toward the oncoming storm.

Blocking it was absolutely impossible.

Dodging it would also certainly carry risks.

In that case, the only option was to face it head-on.

Using this pair of Mystic Eyes to kill that storm.

“This old one knew that if it were you, you’d definitely do this.” Fan Xinglou’s voice, carrying no malice yet brimming with astonishing presence, resounded.

Immediately after, the terrifying storm, capable of stirring the cloud layer across the entire sky, vanished.

Yes.

It vanished.

It disappeared without any warning.

“————!”

Fang Li’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Shortly afterwards, as if realizing something, he abruptly halted his figure, turned around, and looked behind him.

“Buzz————!”

As if space itself had been torn apart, the terrifying storm appeared out of nowhere.

Fang Li had witnessed this phenomenon more than once before.

In the past, Fan Xinglou had used the same method countless times to teleport Fang Li’s location.

A Seisenjutsu capable of twisting space, known as Ground Shrink, was, at this moment, applied by Fan Xinglou to her attack, teleporting that terrifying storm to Fang Li’s back.

Like a fearsome tsunami, it swallowed Fang Li whole.
