#197: Chasing Lightning Accomplishment

Two years ago, during the Foundation Building stage, the cultivator Liu Fengbo from the Liu Family fled in the midst of battle, causing the whole situation to collapse. Elder Zhuye from Green Bamboo Mountain died on the spot, and Zhujian was severely injured but managed to escape. Liu Fengbo wasn't the first to run away; two loose cultivators had fled before him, and he followed suit. However, this act of desertion left Zhujian, the sole survivor, harboring deep resentment toward Liu Fengbo.

It's understandable for loose cultivators to be unreliable and selfish, but for Liu Family, as allies, to act the same way was highly disappointing, especially considering the enormous cost paid by Green Bamboo Mountain. As a result, the alliance between Green Bamboo Mountain and the Liu Family was on the brink of breaking apart. If not for Zhujian's injuries, he might have gone to teach Liu Fengbo a lesson in person.

Though Liu Family's patriarch, Liu Dahai, didn't say much to his face, Liu Fengbo could sense the disappointment from the patriarch. In an attempt to redeem himself and prove his worth, Liu Fengbo repeatedly provoked conflicts at the Date Spice Oasis over the past two years.

He had become cleverer, mostly engaging in hit-and-run tactics and avoiding direct confrontations. If challenged to a one-on-one duel by Meng Zhang or Shi Weida, he would fight. But if they tried to corner him together, he would immediately flee.

During these one-on-one duels, even if he was slightly at a disadvantage, he would swiftly disengage and avoid prolonged entanglement. Shi Weida grew increasingly frustrated with his tactics, but killing a cautious Foundation Building stage cultivator was no easy task.

Fortunately, Liu Fengbo's havoc was somewhat limited. Even if he ambushed Refining Qi stage cultivators, Meng Zhang and Shi Weiming promptly intervened to stop him.

This time, news arrived that the troublemaker, Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning), was about to cause more chaos. Zhui Dian was incredibly fast and agile, often being the first to spot Liu Fengbo's whereabouts.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Having spent two years at the oasis, Meng Zhang knew that once he returned to Taiyi Sect, Shi Weida alone might not be able to handle Liu Fengbo effectively. Before leaving, Meng Zhang had to find a way to deal with this menace. Even if he couldn't kill him, inflicting significant damage was essential.

The fire-attributed flying sword, Crimson Flame Sword, wasn't suitable for the Lifeless Killing Sword technique, but the Venomous Flying Sword could be used with some difficulty. Liu Fengbo's divine consciousness sensed the impending ambush, but Meng Zhang's speed was too fast for him to fly to the safety of the sky in time.

The Venomous Flying Sword attacked like a lightning-fast python's fang, closing in on Liu Fengbo. Over the past two years, Liu Fengbo had accumulated some combat experience and managed to respond correctly despite the hasty situation. Unable to escape the fight, he chose to face Meng Zhang head-on as the latter pounced on him.

A sudden drop in temperature surrounded the area, frost appearing on the ground, and white mist forming in the air. Liu Fengbo's arms seemed to turn into icy steel as he actively intercepted the Venomous Flying Sword.

In addition to blocking the enemy's flying sword, Liu Fengbo also revealed a hidden trump card. Faced with an inevitable sneak attack, he didn't fear or retreat; instead, he aimed to fight Meng Zhang fiercely. The Ice-Cold True Qi of the Liu Family was well-known and distinctive.

As Meng Zhang approached Liu Fengbo, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his body becoming unbearably cold. However, he forcefully resisted the shiver, relying on his Solar True Qi to generate a warm current that quickly restored his body to normal.

Liu Fengbo wore a regretful expression on his face. After the sneak attack, he immediately forced out the natal essence within his body, combining it with the Ice-Cold True Qi. Any cultivator who came into contact with this natal essence would feel a bone-chilling cold, making it hard to suppress shivering. This shiver would cause most of the opponent's true qi to dissipate.

Meng Zhang's body had undergone the baptism of Yin Qi several times, granting him strong resistance to cold. Coupled with his practice of the Very Yang and Very Hard Solar True Qi, he inadvertently evaded the enemy's deadly trick.
