Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 13 – Five steps to kill a person

Su Yun's momentum became even more high-spirited.

Within five steps, he would make the young man from the city lying here, avenging his classmates and Mr. Ye Hu.

"Tong Fan, if there were any good things in the Ghost Market, they would have been taken by others a long time ago. How could we have a chance?"

The red-clothed young man was accompanied by some young men and women, one of whom looked a few years older but called the red-clothed young man "brother" and said with a smile, "Even if there are treasures here, your Tong family may not be interested. Why bother coming all the way here?"

"Yang Sheng, you don't know."

Tong Fan smiled and said leisurely, "My family's old immortal received news in the capital that many generals died in the front-line war. These generals were all big shots. After they died, their spirits are likely to come here. The old immortal meant for us to come and get some benefits."

"From the bodies of generals who died for the country, it's a bit..."

Other young men and women laughed and spoke in unison, "They died for the country, how heroic? They will become gods. After they become gods, will they not even donate a little wealth to us?"

"Rather than letting others take advantage, it's better to let us, after all, we are scholars! Right, Brother Yang?"

"Yes, yes."

Yang Sheng agreed, but suddenly felt something and turned his head to see Su Yun walking towards them, looking puzzled.

"That little blind boy who studies with the fox in the academy..."

He had just thought of this when his face suddenly changed, his vision turned blood-red, and he felt as if he was no longer in the Ghost Market, but in a muddy swamp. Su Yun seemed to be a crocodile dragon lurking in the swamp!

The reason his vision turned blood-red was because he was oppressed by Su Yun's aura, which made his eyes bloodshot!

"Crocodile Dragon's Yin? Did Mr. Shui Jing teach him this Qi cultivation technique? Be careful!"

.

He shouted out loud and his body reacted without hesitation, grabbing towards Su Yun without saying a word.

Tong Fan and the other young scholars turned their heads and looked at Su Yun. The smiles on their faces had not yet disappeared.

Yang Sheng reached out his hand like a crocodile dragon's claw and grabbed Su Yun's back. He was also using the Crocodile Dragon's Yin!

Su Yun used the complete technique, but he had already broken it down into different loose hands, retaining only the attacking techniques in the technique without being confined to its form.

This was very clever.

The technique was dead, but breaking it down into loose hands gave it more variations and combinations, and the reaction speed was faster.

Those who could do this were highly talented scholars!

Unexpectedly, when Yang Sheng's crocodile dragon claw grabbed Su Yun's back muscles, he suddenly sensed a trembling vibration coming from Su Yun's back, up to thirty-three times in a row, making him feel like he was grabbing a big crocodile, his fingers were numb and he couldn't hold onto Su Yun!

"Crocodile dragon on the spine, thirty-three consecutive breakthroughs, what a good body technique! Mr. Shui Jing taught him the most complex transformation of the Honglu technique within a month. It's difficult to fully master the transformation in such a short time, let alone cultivate the Crocodile Dragon's Yin!"

Yang Sheng's eyes showed disbelief.He was one of the scholars who followed Qiu Shuijing to Tianmen Ghost Market in Tian Shi Yuan and met Su Yun there.

He also guessed that Mr. Shuijing stayed here for more than ten days before returning to Shuo Fang, most likely to teach Su Yun the Honglu Transforming Qi Art.

However, Su Yun's cultivation speed was too fast.

Yang Sheng had a hard time practicing the Crocodile Dragon on the Spine move.

This move requires opening up 33 spinal bones, which requires strong support of vital energy. Moreover, it needs to be opened one by one, and it is impossible to open all 33 at once.

It took him three and a half months to practice the Crocodile Dragon on the Spine, and he also ate a lot of elixirs to improve his vital energy cultivation.

Qiu Shuijing taught Su Yun for ten days, and Su Yun practiced the fifth move of the Crocodile Dragon Song, the Crocodile Dragon on the Spine, within a month. This surprised Yang Sheng.

At the moment when he failed to leave Su Yun behind, Su Yun had already sneaked through the crowd like a crocodile dragon and went straight to Tong Fan!

"His target is Tong Fan!"

Yang Sheng was shocked. The Honglu Transforming Qi Art was a basic technique brought by Qiu Shuijing from the Eastern Capital. This technique did not appear in the official schools of Shuo Fang, and only private disciples who followed Qiu Shuijing in cultivation had learned it.

Tong Fan did not understand this technique and would probably suffer!

"But the little blind man has only been practicing for a month, and his vital energy cultivation is still weak. His Honglu Transforming Qi Art can only be practiced up to the third level at most. Tong Fan's Bifang Divine Movement Transforming Qi Art has already been practiced to the sixth level."

Just as he thought of this, Su Yun had already passed through the crowd and leaped up.

"Roar..."

The dragon chant from Su Yun's chest made Yang Sheng's face change greatly. This dragon chant was different from the dragon chant produced by the Crocodile Dragon Song taught by Qiu Shuijing!

The dragon chant produced by the Crocodile Dragon Song was the howling sound produced when vital energy was running, and the sound was like the roar of a crocodile dragon, like thunder, hence the name Crocodile Dragon Song.

The sound produced by the vital energy running in Su Yun's chest was not only the sound of the crocodile dragon's thunder, but also four other dragon chants!

"Mr. Shuijing once said that the reason why this technique can produce thunderous dragon chants is that the vital energy running inside the body is extremely violent, and the sound produced by the friction of vital energy is explosive."

Yang Sheng rushed into the crowd with all his strength, his face changing constantly. "The little blind man produces four kinds of thunderous sounds, and the intensity of his vital energy is four times that of others! Tong Fan is in danger! But..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yang Sheng used the Divine Crocodile Tail Sweep move to sweep away the other scholars blocking his way, his eyes shining brightly. "If I take this opportunity to save Tong Fan, my relationship with the Tong family of Shuo Fang will be closer by one point! Maybe I can soar to success because of this..."

Tong Fan's reaction was not slow either.

When Yang Sheng reminded him, he had already sensed Su Yun's intrusion into the crowd and came straight to him. When Su Yun took the third step, his vital energy had already been activated.

When Su Yun took the fourth step, his Bifang Divine Movement Transforming Qi Art had begun to activate.

When Su Yun took the fifth step, the strange image of the divine bird Bifang had already appeared behind Tong Fan.

That divine bird was as fierce as fire, and with Tong Fan's hand, it was about to flap its wings and fly out to kill Su Yun!However, at the same time, Su Yun soared into the air and pounced down, lightning-fast hands reaching out to grab his chin and the back of his head from above.

Tong Fan felt as if his head had been bitten by a crocodile dragon, darkness enveloping him and fear gripping his heart.

Su Yun's body was like a crocodile dragon catching its prey in mid-air, grabbing Tong Fan's head and lifting him up, using his waist and hips to generate force and rolling in the air like a giant crocodile, intending to twist his neck off.

Tong Fan's body was thrown into the air, and he could only hear the cracking sound of the seven cervical vertebrae in his neck, feeling shocked and horrified: "So fast! I couldn't defend in time..."

At the same time, Yang Sheng pounced forward, his pupils shrinking: "The second move of the Crocodile Dragon's Roar, Crocodile Dragon Roll! If he uses this move, Tong Fan's head will be twisted off alive!"

His hands reached forward, grabbing Tong Fan's feet, and he also used the Crocodile Dragon Roll move!

The Crocodile Dragon Roll, also known as the Death Roll, was a common occurrence for necks to be broken or heads twisted off by this move.

The best way to counter the Crocodile Dragon Roll was to use the same move to cancel out Su Yun's momentum, in order to save Tong Fan.

The two of them, one holding Tong Fan's head and the other grabbing his feet, spun and rolled in mid-air, descending towards the ground, the sound of their clothes rustling through the air.

On the ground, several scholars hurriedly dodged.

Bang, bang!

Su Yun and Yang Sheng landed one after another, still holding Tong Fan's head and feet.

Yang Sheng's eye corner twitched violently. Just now, in mid-air, they had almost simultaneously used the Crocodile Dragon Roll move, but he had exhausted his strength after five rotations, while Su Yun had done seven.

Using the same move, Su Yun had rotated two more times than him before landing.

The other scholars had not yet realized it, but Yang Sheng knew that when Su Yun had rotated one more time than him, Tong Fan's seven cervical vertebrae had already been twisted off their ligaments!

When Su Yun had rotated for the second time, Tong Fan's trachea and esophagus ruptured, his brain completely cut off from blood supply, and he fainted on the spot.

When they landed, Tong Fan's blood vessels, tendons, cervical vertebrae, and trachea had been completely twisted off, leaving only the skin of his neck connected.

Tong Fan was already dead.
