Chapter 1663: Return to Youth, Back to Old Age!
Watching Ice Woman suddenly find the strength to counterattack again, and even seem to have regained her confidence, directly striking at both of his armpits, Yan Hongzhang was shocked!
How did this Ice Woman see through that my death acupoints are here?
"You... damn you!! You’re actually even more freakish than I thought!!"
Yan Hongzhang was thrown into momentary confusion and naturally never thought Jiang Feng was secretly transmitting guidance; he assumed Ice Woman had discovered his vital weak point on her own!
He had no choice but to hastily parry, feeling furious and humiliated!
But in fact, from the instant he took the initiative to switch from wild offense to passive defense, the nature of the fight changed.
The whole style of the battle began to tilt one-sidedly!
The Yan Family members watching behind were all dumbstruck!
They just couldn’t accept this sudden shift in tone.
How was it that one second their Old Taishan held overwhelming advantage, and the next he was retreating step by step?
"Old... Old Taishan, what are you...?"
Someone stared at Yan Hongzhang from afar, heart once again leaping into their throat!
And Yan Hongzhang by now was already frantic with rage, forced massively onto the defensive!
Against an assassin of Ice Woman’s caliber, you absolutely cannot give her an opening. Once she gets one, she really will seize it, with endless methods of attack, hammering at both his armpits so fast his eyes couldn’t keep up!
No matter how powerful Yan Hongzhang’s strength was, he couldn’t hold out against Ice Woman stabbing at his vital spots with every move!
"Ah!!!!"
Yan Hongzhang let out a hysterical roar and blasted out a palm, slamming it toward Ice Woman’s chest!
But Ice Woman refused to fall for it; she again condensed ice crystals and viciously thrust toward Yan Hongzhang’s left flank!
"Psshhh!!!"
Before Yan Hongzhang’s palm could land on Ice Woman’s chest, his left flank was already wounded!
That ice spike drove all the way in, piercing through his entire left shoulder!
He let out a shrill, miserable scream as his whole body was blasted backwards, sliding tens of steps across the rain-soaked ground before finally crashing back into the middle of the Mo Family’s camp.
Ridiculously enough, at that moment not a single person dared to help him up. Those ten-odd Yan Family bodyguards and experts were terrified of being crushed into meat paste again; only after he landed hard on his ass did they hurriedly rush in around him.
"Old Taishan! Old Taishan! What the hell is going on, how is it that Ice Woman clearly isn’t your match, yet she’s able to wound you?!"
The dozen of them were even more shaken to the core as they asked.
Yan Hongzhang bared his teeth, reached to his left armpit, and viciously yanked out that rootless ice spike, bringing with it a jet of blood!
His eyes went bloodshot; he hurriedly pressed several major acupoints on himself, sealing the wound and choking off the spraying blood!
But in doing so, he consumed too much Inner Strength, and the Yan Family members actually saw him, who’d looked just past thirty, visibly age into a man in his forties or fifties, even with strands of white suddenly sprouting among his thick black hair.
"Old Taishan, you..."
The Yan Family members grew even more panicked, because Yan Hongzhang was starting to revert from youth back to old age; that was absolutely not a good sign!
Yan Shuangying was even more anxious, mouth bleeding profusely as he looked bitterly at Yan Hongzhang.
He’d been waiting for Yan Hongzhang to finish things quickly and hurry over to treat his injuries; who would’ve thought Yan Hongzhang himself couldn’t hold out anymore?
"Get lost!!!"
Yan Hongzhang flung away the Yan Family members crowding around him with one sweep, even shoving Yan Shuangying aside. He stood up with deep, bitter hatred, glaring at Ice Woman, hatred carved into his bones!
His Returning Life Child Skill, at its core, was a Cultivation Technique that used Inner Strength to make one younger, enhancing cellular vitality.
But if he started showing signs of aging again, that was extremely dangerous. It didn’t just mean his Cultivation Technique had been broken; it also heralded doubled backlash, doubled courting of death!
Right now he’d only gone from looking a bit over thirty to looking forty or fifty—still barely acceptable. But if he turned completely white-haired and reverted to looking over a hundred again, then he’d basically be fuel spent and lamp gone out, with only one end: death!
Even so, Yan Hongzhang would never admit he couldn’t beat Ice Woman. He roared, "Demon bitch, die for me!!!"
With that, he once more transformed into a berserk, ferocious beast, charging madly at Ice Woman!
Ice Woman’s lips curled in a cold smile. Seeking death on your own?
She immediately swept out her jade-like hand, summoning countless raindrop ice spikes again, intending to strike at Yan Hongzhang’s flanks!
Suddenly Jiang Feng’s mind flashed and he secretly transmitted, "Careful! His death acupoint has shifted. Right now it should be—"
Even Jiang Feng hadn’t expected Yan Hongzhang to have the ability to move his death acupoint!
In truth, it wasn’t that strange. For example, if someone’s vital gate was at the crotch, they might specifically train Shrinking Yang into the Belly to avoid their weakness.
But for Yan Hongzhang to adjust it in such a short time—he really deserved to be called a Master!
Ice Woman was shocked at Jiang Feng’s words, but there was no time left to react!
The ice spikes she’d already launched all shot toward Yan Hongzhang’s flanks, yet this time Yan Hongzhang truly didn’t dodge, letting the ice spikes drive into his armpits and be crushed to bits, as he stepped in and slammed a fist straight into Ice Woman’s chest!
Just as events were unfolding at lightning speed, the instant Ice Woman’s body was blasted backwards head over heels, Jiang Feng leapt up, hugged Ice Woman from behind, and immediately pressed several major acupoints on her back, barely managing to help Ice Woman neutralize that violent Fist Power!
Even so, a trace of blood still seeped from the corner of Ice Woman’s mouth, as she and Jiang Feng drifted lightly down to the ground, still in an embrace.
"How... how did he..." Ice Woman could hardly believe it, Qi-Blood surging as she stared at Jiang Feng.
"This is what I meant when I said he has more combat experience than you—he adapted on the fly and shifted his death acupoint."
Jiang Feng let go of Ice Woman and said evenly, "In other words, his flanks are no longer his weak point now. You won’t be able to hurt him there."
"Oh? So it’s you, you little bastard, guiding this demon bitch?!"
Yan Hongzhang also heard Jiang Feng’s words and flew into a rage, then let out a sinister laugh. "But even if you managed to pierce this old man’s vital acupoint earlier, so what? My Returning Life Child Skill trades substance for illusions. Now this old man’s whole body is flawless from head to toe. Your tricks are useless!"
"No flaws?"
Jiang Feng let out a mocking snort. That kind of talk was only good for fooling kids—he’d never heard of moving a death acupoint and making it disappear. That death acupoint definitely still existed somewhere on Yan Hongzhang; he was just putting on a show!
Suddenly, from Yan Hongzhang’s stance, Jiang Feng judged something, then leaned close to whisper a few words into Ice Woman’s ear.
After listening, a blush suddenly appeared on Ice Woman’s pale face, while her expression turned doubtful. "You... you’re sure?!"
"Go."
Jiang Feng nodded and smiled. "This time, give him a killing blow. Don’t leave him any chance to live."
"Alright!"
Ice Woman took a deep breath. She naturally trusted Jiang Feng’s words one hundred percent, so she forced herself upright again, preparing to stake everything in a life-or-death showdown with Yan Hongzhang!
Seeing Jiang Feng whisper a few more words to Ice Woman, Yan Hongzhang felt a flicker of unease, but he was more convinced Jiang Feng was just playing at mystic tricks!
This time his death acupoint was hidden very deep; there was absolutely no way it could be exposed again!
At that, he also went all in, roaring, "Demon bitch, come!!! Right now either you die or I perish, but this old man still has more than enough confidence to send you on your way!!!"
