Chapter 349: The Final Attempt
The Sword Aura sliced Fu Tianji's body in half, but in the next second, the two halves stuck back together like glue, leaving no injuries behind.
Chen Guan knew the attack was useless and turned to distance himself.
A flash of blood light, Fu Tianji used the Blood Escape Technique again, faster than Chen Guan's Pure Yang Sword Immortal, blocking Chen Guan's path.
With the Undying Body, Fu Tianji could use the Blood Escape Technique without restriction and didn't need to defend anymore. Various bizarre techniques were deployed with the support of the Blood Escape Technique.
Chen Guan was immediately entangled and couldn't escape. Almost simultaneously, a ripple emerged from the Treasure Basin, and two identical Secret God Purple Profounds were spewed out.
One of the Purple Profounds turned into particles and flew towards Fu Tianji, merging with him once again, while the other jumped back into the Treasure Basin.
Using the Treasure Basin requires sacrificing lifespan, but with the blessing of the Undying Evil King's Secret Collection, Fu Tianji's body was immortal, essentially meaning unlimited lifespan.
If someone else tried to clone the Secret God, they might die immediately, but he had no such concerns.
As it turned out, Fu Tianji indeed could replicate the Secret God, and not just one.
Fu Tianji's Undying Body paired with the abilities of the Treasure Basin is simply an unbeatable combination.
Unfortunately, the curse-like power of the Undying Ghost would quickly turn Fu Tianji into a living corpse, rendering his resources useless.
Fu Tianji's unrestricted use of the Blood Escape Technique left Chen Guan's advantages completely erased.
Fu Tianji couldn't even be bothered to dodge Chen Guan's attacks anymore; being an Undying Body, with the Purple Profound Armor, dodging seemed entirely pointless to him.
As long as Chen Guan didn't flee, Fu Tianji didn't need to continuously use the Blood Escape Technique.
Although he was undying, the blood in his body was limited, and even being immortal, it would take time to replenish his blood supply.
Of course, the blood in his body was enough to let him use the Blood Escape Technique many times.
"Really a troublesome guy." Chen Guan glanced at the two Purple Profounds emerging from the Treasure Basin again, one coming towards him while the other jumped back into the Treasure Basin.
Fortunately, the Treasure Basin seemed to clone only one thing at a time, otherwise, it would soon become surrounded by an army of Secret Gods.
Fu Tianji showed no intention of stopping, now he had only one thought, to slay Chen Guan here.
Chen Guan struck without hesitation, yet this time, when the Sword Aura fell on Fu Tianji, it suddenly dissipated.
It wasn't scattered by Fu Tianji, but Chen Guan himself scattered the Sword Aura.
Without the Pure Yang Sword Immortal's backing, Chen Guan returned to his ordinary appearance, delivering a mundane punch to Fu Tianji's chest.
The punch landed on Fu Tianji without dealing any damage.
"Has your Primordial Energy finally run out?" Fu Tianji sneered.
But his smile immediately froze, as everything turned dark before him and he couldn't utter a sound, even losing all sensation of his body.
Fu Tianji was shocked to find his will seemed separated from his body, leaving him completely unable to control it.
The Disabling Fist, a Composite Secret Skill left by Mei Qingta before death to Chen Guan, was also the only Composite Secret Skill created by human cultivators that Chen Guan had practiced.
The Good and Evil Asura Saber might be called a Composite Secret Skill, but it was a default setting of the Secret Spirit, not created by human cultivators.
Using such a defense-ignoring Secret Skill in actual combat was a first for Chen Guan.
Chen Guan had never used it before due to his lack of confidence in the Disabling Fist.
He had practiced it for too short a time; the highest level of the Secret Skills comprising the Disabling Fist that Chen Guan reached was only barely at Level Seven, with most being Level Six.
Chen Guan wasn't sure if such a level of Disabling Fist could affect someone like Fu Tianji.
If the effect of one strike was insufficient, Fu Tianji would be on guard, leaving no chance to use this move again.
So Chen Guan was trying it as a last resort; if it worked, great, if not, he would immediately use the Pure Yang Sword Immortal to fly away, fighting with Fu Tianji to see whether his Blood Escape Technique endurance or Chen Guan's Primordial Energy would last longer.
Even Chen Guan himself hadn't expected the Disabling Fist to be so powerful, immobilizing Fu Tianji completely.
"Mei Qingta... truly a genius... what a pity..." Chen Guan sighed in his heart.
Though Mei Qingta's intentions for giving him the Disabling Fist may not have been good, it indeed helped Chen Guan at this moment.
Yang Hu stared blankly at Chen Guan and the immobilized Fu Tianji, his spirit nearly collapsing.
Fu Tianji had gone so far, yet still couldn't win this battle; it seemed as if he was once again controlled by Chen Guan.
The Sword Aura rose again from Chen Guan, rushing to Purple Profound's front in an instant, and in a flash, a Disabling Fist struck Purple Profound, turning it immediately into a cripple.
Chen Guan soared up and rushed again at the two Purple Profounds that spouted from the Treasure Basin.
The Disabling Fist unleashed great might, leveraging the speed from Pure Yang Sword Immortal and One-Night Step, turning those two Purple Profounds into paraplegics as well.
"Yang Hu, tell me how I can take away the Treasure Basin, and I can spare your life." Chen Guan fixed his gaze on Yang Hu after dealing with everything.
"You want to know? Come find me in Hell, then I'll tell you everything." Yang Hu slapped his head, dying on the spot with a burst of brain matter.
"Yang... Hu..." Fu Tianji's trembling voice sounded.
Chen Guan turned to see Fu Tianji had regained his sight and speech, his body also beginning to move.
Chen Guan's Disabling Fist was indeed too low in level, its effects could not last long, or perhaps Fu Tianji was just too strong, breaking through the constraints of the Disabling Fist.
Before Fu Tianji fully regained his ability to act, Chen Guan flew back close, hitting him once more with a Disabling Fist, affecting Fu Tianji again.
This time the effect was visibly worse than before; Fu Tianji wasn't completely paralyzed, his eyes were blind, his mouth spoke no words, his movements slowed, but he wasn't entirely incapacitated.
Those few Purple Profounds started to move as well, seeming about to break free of the constraints.
Chen Guan was momentarily troubled, having come this far, he couldn't give up now.
Clenching his teeth, Chen Guan decided to ignore Fu Tianji and Purple Profound, directly rushing at the Treasure Basin, summoning the Ghost-Eyed Python to wrap its body around the Treasure Basin to see if it could be taken away.
The Ghost-Eyed Python's power far exceeded Chen Guan's, if it couldn't move it, there was no hope.
Without a special method, it's impossible to remove the Treasure Basin.
The Ghost-Eyed Python wrapped around the Treasure Basin, exerting all its might, its body stretched to the limit, yet the Treasure Basin didn't budge.
"Ming Fei… do you know what this thing is… do you know how to take it away…" Chen Guan communicated with Ming Fei mentally.
"I don't know… it should be a high-level Secret Treasure… and it may have its own consciousness…your level is nowhere near sufficient to use it…nor could you gain its approval…to take it away…perhaps there's only one way…" Ming Fei replied.
