Chapter 759: Berserk Battle, Vajra Shakes the Demon! Panic, Pollution Increases Again

Beside them, Wang Yiyi could finally hold back no longer. She stared at Chu Fan as if he were a monster. “You’re just too crazy… That scene just now was absolutely heart-stopping.”

“You already knew there was a restrictive barrier in the sky, so you deliberately flew up there, ready to take a lightning strike yourself, just to lure him up to get hit?”

Chu Fan nodded slightly. “His Pollution Power is incomparably savage and as thick as ink. Its defensive properties are exceptional, like layers of heavy armor. It’s nearly impossible to break through with just my fists.”

“My only option was a mutually destructive tactic. I had to borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth, using the crimson lightning to injure us both. That was the only way to crack his defenses so I could seize the opportunity to kill him.”

His tone was calm, but his words sent a chill down everyone’s spines.

True ruthlessness means being ruthless even to yourself.

However, Chu Fan kept another thought to himself—

—the absurdly powerful regenerative ability of his Vajra Undying Body!

‘Luring Zhang Tianyu high into the sky was indeed a mutually destructive tactic…’

‘But how could Zhang Tianyu’s recovery possibly compare to mine?’

‘If Zhang Tianyu had dared to stay and fight to the death, he would have been doomed!’

‘It had only been a few moments, but I was already back at peak condition, good as new.’

‘Meanwhile, Zhang Tianyu had damaged his very foundation. He was still severely wounded and had no hope of recovering anytime soon!’

‘My only regret was my speed.’

‘The speed gap between us was just despairing.’

‘Otherwise, how could I have possibly let Zhang Tianyu get away?’

Just then, Princess Zhaohua seemed to remember something, and her eyes lit up. “Right, I wonder where Li Qingcang is. I remember he has the Li Family’s heirloom treasure, the cloak known as the Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Wings!”

“The Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Wings are refined from the feathers of a Wind-Thunder Bird. They allow the wearer to ride the wind, making their Body Technique as nimble as a leaf, and can instantly boost their speed by a factor of ten…”

“You mean…” Wang Yiyi reacted instantly, glancing at Chu Fan and then back at Princess Zhaohua. “Have Li Qingcang lend the Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Wings to Chu Fan?”

Princess Zhaohua nodded slightly.

“Ha! I almost forgot about the Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Wings!”

Wang Yiyi slapped her thigh and grinned. “Chu Fan’s physical prowess is second to none. If he puts on the Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Wings… even if his speed still can’t match a peak-condition Zhang Tianyu, the gap between them would be drastically reduced!”

“The next time they meet, Chu Fan will have a real chance to finish him off. Zhang Tianyu will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Fan’s calm eyes narrowed, a flicker of longing in their depths. ‘So a treasure like that actually exists?’

‘Speed. It’s my greatest, and only, weakness right now.’

‘If I can shore up this weakness, the next time I run into the wounded Zhang Tianyu, I’ll definitely pummel that bastard to death!’

Just as the group was excitedly planning their next steps…

Princess Zhaohua suddenly changed the subject, her tone inquisitive. “By the way, there’s something I don’t understand. When Zhang Tianyu swung his sword back to cut you down, his momentum was overwhelming. Why did he suddenly pause so strangely for that brief moment?”

“If it weren’t for that pause, you probably wouldn’t have been able to seize the opportunity and beat him until he was bleeding from every orifice… Why would he reveal such a massive flaw at a time like that?”

Chu Fan was slightly taken aback.

‘I didn’t expect Princess Zhaohua to be not only beautiful but also incredibly perceptive. To think she even noticed the subtle mental battle that took place in that split second.’

He didn’t answer her directly. Instead, he turned his attention to the panel in the depths of his consciousness.

‘When I first started cultivating the Mind Enchantment Skill, it was purely on a whim.’

‘Back in Cyan Yang Ancient City, Zhang Yunpeng’s wife had used this Evil Technique to secretly control people in the Government Office. Her ability to manipulate minds had piqued my curiosity.’

‘I never expected this unorthodox Evil Technique, which I had long since cast aside and forgotten, would prove so useful at such a critical moment.’

‘The Pollution Power already had the ability to completely awaken a creature’s negative emotions, infinitely amplifying the cruelty, greed, and selfish desires lurking in their hearts.’

‘And the Mind Enchantment Skill was an Evil Technique that played on those very emotions!’

‘Using this Evil Technique on a demonized and delirious Zhang Tianyu was like lighting dry tinder; the effect was spectacular.’

‘If it weren’t for the Soul Division of that old monster from the Zhang Family hidden inside Zhang Tianyu’s body, remaining ever vigilant, a single use of the Mind Enchantment Skill might have been enough to control him completely!’

‘This move was a perfect counter against humans or members of the Demon Race mutated by the pollution. It was even more effective than some of my powerful, destructive Martial Arts!’

Looking at the nearly full progress bar on the panel, an idea sparked in Chu Fan’s mind.

‘My Mind Enchantment Skill is already close to the limit of its Perfection stage. Why not use this travel time to break through that limit?’

‘This could become another powerful Bottom Card!’

At this thought, Chu Fan immediately sat down cross-legged, ignoring everyone’s conversation.

He held his breath and focused, secretly circulating the bizarre Mind Enchantment Skill technique. A demonic, deep purple light began to flicker in the depths of his eyes.

“This guy…”

When Princess Zhaohua saw that Chu Fan was completely ignoring her question and had simply closed his eyes to cultivate, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration and shot him a fierce glare.

Then, she resignedly pursed her lips. Having no other choice, she took out a Healing Elixir, popped it in her mouth, and closed her eyes to circulate her energy, making the most of the time to recover from her injuries.

The uninjured Wang Yanfeng saw this and knew it was his duty to act as their Guardian.

While skillfully maneuvering the Nine-Turn Flowing Cloud Disc through the clouds, he kept a tight grip on his long spear and spread his Divine Sense out like a spiderweb, remaining vigilant for any strange movements in their surroundings.

Time trickled by. The Flowing Cloud Disc tore across the sky, drawing ever closer to the unknown Realm of Confusion.

Finally, Chu Fan’s Mind Enchantment Skill reached a moment of qualitative change…
