Chapter 152 Crane Control Technique
"I've never heard of any Star Absorbing Technique or Ren Woxing."
Starry Sky Immortal King and Zhuo Bufan exchanged a glance, completely disbelieving Shi Potian's words.
"What else could it be but the Star Absorbing Technique if not the Star Absorbing Technique? The Star Absorbing Technique is the highest secret technique of my Starry Sky Sect, how could I not recognize it?" said the Starry Sky Immortal King.
Shi Potian laughed and said, "I don't even know what my method is called. I'm not trying to absorb your internal energy. Your internal energy is chaotic and impure, full of toxins. I just want to neutralize the toxins for you."
The Starry Sky Immortal King was so enraged that his Three Corpse Gods roared: "Boy, I thought you were a kind person, but I never expected you to be so vicious. Do you know that my Great Power Dissolving Technique relies entirely on this poisonous nature? If you've poisoned me, you might as well kill me."
Shi Potian was puzzled and said, "Although the poison in your body is potent, I don't think it's anything good. Your ability to transform into a human is already quite vicious, and if you don't continue to absorb the poison, it will backfire on you. Am I right?"
The Starry Sky Immortal King was greatly surprised, pointing his finger at Shi Potian, "You, you, you... how did you know the secret of my Dissolving Power Technique?"
Not using drugs would backfire on oneself. Even the Ming Cult leader Piaoranzi didn't know that, Zhuo Bufan didn't know either, and Xingxiu Immortal King had never told anyone. So why would this kid from Fuwei Escort Agency know?
Little did he know the wondrous power of the Stone Breaking Heaven's Tai Xuan Scripture, which illuminated the most subtle details and revealed the finest nuances of a person's aura. In a palm strike against him, it was able to see through the strengths and weaknesses of his martial arts.
Shi Potian laughed and said, "I knew it at a glance, just like I could master the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms as soon as I saw it. I'll neutralize the poison for you, so you won't suffer any backlash or use this skill to harm others in the future. This way, it's good for you, good for me, and good for everyone."
"What a load of rubbish!" The Immortal King was furious. Just that one moment of absorption had drained countless toxins from him, greatly diminishing the power of his Detoxification Technique. He would have to replenish his body with toxins upon returning, or his life would be in danger. This kid was truly despicable.
Although Shi Potian was slightly disappointed that he hadn't successfully neutralized the poison, he didn't want to get entangled with them and said, "We said we'd settle this in one move, and you've already lost. Give me the Life-Sustaining Pills."
The Starry Sky Immortal King gritted his teeth and said, "What Life-Extending Eight Pills? I don't know."
The old man burst out of the bushes in the distance, roaring, "It was you! You impersonated a fairy and tricked me out of my Life-Sustaining Pills! Give them back!"
Starry Sky Immortal King laughed and said, "That was given by Zu Qianqiu, what does it have to do with you?"
Zu Qianqiu also came over and said, "Then give it back to me. You, a dignified Dharma King of the Ming Cult, are swindling and cheating ordinary people out of their things. Aren't you ashamed? The Ming Cult is the great enemy of my Sun Moon Divine Cult. You'd better get out of here right now."
The Starry Sky Immortal King said, "Unfortunately, I no longer have any Life-Extending Pills on me. I've already sold them to others, so I have nothing to return to you."
Seeing that the Starry Sky Immortal King was being unreasonable, Shi Potian wasn't angry. He simply said, "Then there's nothing I can do. If you won't give it to me, I'll just have to take it myself."
Before he finished speaking, he moved swiftly and appeared in front of the Starry Sky Immortal King. He extended his right hand and pointed a finger at a major acupoint on the other's chest.
The Starry Sky Immortal King was shocked. Seeing that the finger was pointing at him and he had no way to dodge it, he unleashed both palms at once, throwing out all the Corpse Poison in an attempt to kill both of them.
Shi Potian was least afraid of poison, but this poison was so putrid that he had no idea how to neutralize it.
Shi Potian neither dodged nor avoided. With a flick of his left hand, his flowing sleeves billowed, and a gust of wind blew away the poison from the rotting corpse. His right index finger continued to point at the Starry Sky Immortal King.
Zhuo Bufan shouted, "Young Master Escort, do you think I don't exist? Take this!"
He drew his sword first, then spoke; the sword's edge flashed like a bolt of lightning, already piercing Shi Potian's heart. This strike was both swift and ruthless, its light intensifying as it attacked where the enemy was bound to defend.
Without turning his head, Shi Potian flicked his finger, sending out a gust of wind that aimed directly at his face and the Yintang acupoint.
"Flick of the Finger!" Zhuo Bufan exclaimed in surprise.
He hurriedly blocked with his sword, and with a "clang," the sword light was dispersed by the force of his finger. Zhuo Bufan's tiger's mouth went numb, and he took three steps back.
"You brat, do you even have any kung fu of your own? You're just using my Ming Cult's divine skills. Where did you steal this Finger Flicking Divine Skill from?" Zhuo Bufan said indignantly.
Shi Potian ignored him and continued to point at Xingxiu Immortal King with one finger.
The Celestial King was furious. With a flick of his sleeve, eight pills flew out, and he shouted, "Eight Life-Extending Pills, here you go." (This is a quote from a novel, "Dog Brother's Transmigration into Lin Pingzhi: The Tai Xuan Scripture Suppresses All Nations," presented with sincerity by Zuo Dao Ren Jian. Exclusively published by Ke Le Novels!)
At the same time, countless poisonous waters suddenly flew out from the sleeve, chasing after the Life-Sustaining Eight Pills.
Instead of throwing the poison at Shi Potian, he threw it at the pills, a surprise attack that forced Shi Potian to use all his strength to save the Life-Sustaining Pills, otherwise the medicine would be ruined.
This move not only saves you but also allows you to regain the initiative and turn defeat into victory.
"Life-Sustaining Eight Pills! My Life-Sustaining Eight Pills!" The old man was terrified and lunged at the pills with all his might, but with his round body, he was no match for their speed.
Zu Qianqiu, who was standing nearby, was also unable to save him.
Shi Potian remained calm and composed. He transformed his fingers into a palm, his five fingers facing the poisonous water, while he held the pill in a distant grasping motion, an invisible force surging from his palm.
The Life-Sustaining Eight Pills and the poisonous water seemed to be seized by an invisible hand, and they were frozen in mid-air.
Starry Sky Immortal King and Zhuo Bufan were dumbfounded. Could the Dragon-Capturing and Crane-Controlling Skill really reach this level?
The Yellow River Ancestor's eyes widened in disbelief. Just a moment ago, the old man was terrified and banging his head on the ground, but the next instant, he was filled with shock and ecstasy. Between extreme sorrow and joy, his face was twitching and paralyzed.
Only Qu Feiyan clapped her hands and laughed, "Young man, your skills have improved greatly recently. You've even mastered the legendary Crane Control Technique."
Qu Feiyan was right. Since Zhenjiang neutralized Bao Dachu's Blue Sand Hand, and he had been practicing with Long Kui every day to neutralize the heat poison, his skill had naturally improved greatly. He could now use the Crane Control Skill without any difficulty.
Starry Sky Immortal King and Zhuo Bufan acted decisively, taking advantage of the fact that their opponent only had one hand, and attacked with all their might.
With a flick of his right hand, the Starry Sky Immortal King unleashed a hidden weapon, a piercing nail, towards Shi Potian. Then, he ascended and struck out with a palm.
Zhuo Bufan once again ascended into the depths, his sword transforming into a rainbow, and with a move called "Changbai Tianchi," he stabbed Shi Potian in the back.
The Yellow River Ancestor made a move to step forward and help, but Shi Potian laughed and said, "You two, go away. You can't help. Look, Feifei is hiding far away."
Qu Feiyan wasn't worried about Shi Potian at all; she was only worried about holding him back, so she kept her distance from the two Dharma Kings early on.
When the Yellow River Ancestor saw that this was indeed the case, he stopped.
Seeing the approach of the two Dharma Kings, Shi Potian flicked his left sleeve, sending the hidden weapons flying back. With a flick of his right hand, he flicked his five fingers, sending several drops of bone-dissolving water flying towards the two men.
The two were shocked and hurriedly dodged. The Starry Sky Immortal King was even more flustered, dodging the flying projectiles while also trying to avoid the bone-dissolving water. She could only wave her sleeves to defend herself, and her sleeves were immediately corroded with large holes, which terrified her and made her pale.
No one knew the power of this bone-dissolving water better than her; if even a single drop touched it, one would die on the spot.
Zhuo Bufan swung his broken sword to block, and with a hissing sound, the broken sword was corroded and pitted.
Zhuo Bufan was both surprised and angry. He never expected that this kid's Crane Control Skill had reached the point where he could manipulate multiple objects with ease.
How can we fight then?
Shi Potian put away the Life-Sustaining Pills and took the opportunity to approach Zhuo Bufan. Zhuo Bufan was shocked and raised his sword to stab. Shi Potian reached out with his right hand and the broken sword was in his hand. He casually threw it, and the broken sword was embedded in a tree trunk in the distance with a "thud", all the way to the hilt.
Zhuo Bufan's hands were empty, and his face was deathly pale.
Shi Potian casually struck out with his palm, and Zhuo Bufan also raised his palm to meet it.
With a loud "boom," a burst of energy shot out in all directions.
Zhuo Bufan grunted and flew backward, crashing into a large tree and spitting out blood.
Seeing that things were not going well, the Starry Sky Immortal King flew forward, grabbed Zhuo Bufan by the collar, and was about to use his lightness skill to escape.
Shi Potian was not about to let it go. He raised his left palm and unleashed a powerful "Regretful Dragon" strike!
The dragon's roar shook the surrounding area, and the palm strikes were like a tidal wave.
Starry Sky Immortal King and Zhuo Bufan joined forces to resist, but the two were so shocked by the palm strike that they coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing into the grass in a sorry state.
Just as Shi Potian was about to step forward to subdue the two, a sudden warning signal struck him. A fierce and unparalleled palm strike came from the side, its power far exceeding that of the two Dharma Kings.
The newcomer is an absolute master.
