Chapter 396: Special Palm Techniques

Hum!!
The melodious sound of the sword was like a divine melody from the heavens. Along with the magnificent and stunning sword energy, it pierced through the middle-aged woman’s chest right from her heart, echoing above Heiliu Manor for a long time.
“Thud…”
As the cold aura dissipated, the middle-aged woman’s arms quickly regained their normal color, and her body collapsed weakly onto the icy ground.
Kai Xin quickly stuffed a Jade Dew Pill into his mouth, then went over to the woman’s corpse. After searching briefly, he found a Qiankun Bag and a smile appeared on his face.
But soon, that smile turned into alertness and concern…
Whoosh!!
Without any warning, he rolled several times backward. At his original position, the hard bluestone slabs shattered into countless pieces, flying everywhere with a loud crash.
“Daring to kill my disciple? I’ll never tolerate you!!!”
Standing before Kai Xin was none other than the third master of the three monsters—the third sect leader. His gaze swept over the middle-aged woman’s corpse as he let out a thunderous roar, staring intently at Kai Xin. His fleshy palms turned bright red, as if about to burn.
“Red Flame Palm!”
Kai Xin was terrified. Before the third sect leader could act, he quickly stepped back ten meters.
“Still trying to run?!”
Realizing Kai Xin wanted to escape, the third sect leader roared in anger and chased after him closely. With a single grab, waves of scorching heat rushed toward him. Even the Golden Bell Shield seemed unable to withstand such intense heat, causing his blood to boil and his energy to become chaotic.
Kai Xin was horrified!
No wonder there was a disciple who practiced the special palm technique “Ice Palm.” The Red Flame Palm’s power could affect people even from over ten meters away, stirring their blood and disrupting their movements, increasing the chances of exposing their weaknesses. Such palm techniques could only be fully utilized by those at the Life and Death realm or above.
The Red Flame Palm was even more terrifying…
It was very famous in his past life. In battles, it could disrupt an enemy’s life force, accelerate the consumption of their internal energy, and make them more vulnerable after being injured by evaporating their blood and speeding up their death.
This was also why Kai Xin insisted on staying after realizing the middle-aged woman possessed the Ice Palm.

A special palm technique, usually only dropped by certain specific NPCs. These NPCs are not fixed, and no second one appears quickly. Its rarity is only second to peerless martial arts; in past lives, its price was even higher than that of first-class legendary artifacts—of course, it was a first-class legendary artifact at the fourth level…
This trip was truly a good one!
Xiao Kai didn’t dare slack off. With energy surging through his core, his powerful internal force quickly spread throughout his body.
Boom!!
In and out… mysterious… incredible…
He unleashed his full strength at this level!
At the same time, Xiao Kai stuffed another Jade Dew Pill into his mouth, forcefully suppressing the blood surging inside him. Gritting his teeth, he gathered his energy and leaped nimbly onto the roof, glancing back as he flew outward.
Behind him, aside from the Red Flame Monster, there were no pursuers.
Xiao Kai’s expression changed:
Damn it!
He only lured out one monster!
He had planned to lead this one to the front courtyard of the Black Willow Villa, but then remembered there were two more monsters at the back courtyard—Mo Mo surely wouldn’t be able to get through.
“I can’t just leave like this!”
Under the astonished gaze of the Red Flame Monster, Xiao Kai suddenly turned around, drawing his Gentleman Sword with determination…
The two were now very close!
A stunning sword energy burst forth. The Red Flame Monster didn’t even have time to dodge. His body trembled, and instinctively, he slammed his palms at Xiao Kai.
Dragon Form.
In the split second of passing by, Xiao Kai skillfully avoided the first palm of the Red Flame Monster but failed to dodge the second. That palm struck his Golden Bell Shield with force.
Boom!!
The immense force hit him, sending him crashing like a cannonball into a nearby attic.
The Red Flame Monster, filled with rage and pain, clutched his left face. Blood quickly stained his palm red. It turned out that Xiao Kai’s sword strike earlier hadn’t targeted his heart but his head. If the Red Flame Monster hadn’t slightly shifted at the last moment, it wouldn’t have just been a simple scratch or the loss of an ear—his entire head might have been blown off.
In his rage, the Red Flame Monster realized that his palm strike hadn’t caused any real damage to Xiao Kai. The latter’s protective barrier had absorbed most of the harm. Likely, only his Red Flame Palm had drained some of Xiao Kai’s internal energy, leaving his strength intact.
Thinking of the terrifying sword energy Xiao Kai had unleashed up close, the Red Flame Monster didn’t immediately chase into the attic. His palm suddenly heated up, smoke rising from his face. His face twisted in agony:
“Ah…”
The searing pain from his wound made the Red Flame Monster roar like thunder, the sound spreading far and wide.

Happy ignored the Red Flame Monster, used his own strength to shatter the wall and break into the attic, bounced up immediately, and rushed out through the window on the other side, flying toward the back yard of Heiliu Manor.
“What’s going on!”
There was a rockery in the back yard of Heiliu Manor, and two manor lords were sitting in a pavilion nearby. Hearing this angry cry, they were shocked and stood up at once, their faces filled with disbelief: “The third brother actually suffered a loss… Second brother, go take a look!”
The second lord drew his tiger-patterned nine-ring gold sword and was about to move when a golden figure appeared in their sight after just a few flaps, appearing outside the pavilion like a ghost.
“It’s you again!”
Their expressions changed slightly.
But Happy didn’t waste time talking to them. The Red Flame Monster’s cries had stopped, and he would be coming soon. Delaying would be dangerous. His gaze quickly focused on the rockery, and in a flash, his Gentleman Sword emitted layers of sword light. The two Heiliu Manor disciples guarding the rockery had no idea their target was them. Caught off guard, they fell backward.
“Damn it!”
This action instantly enraged the first and second lords.
However, after achieving his goal with a single strike, Happy didn’t hesitate to climb over the wall and leave the back yard, not giving them a chance to surround him…
“You still want to run!”
The second and first lords, seeing Happy kill their men right under their noses, felt as if they had been slapped in the face. They roared, “Third brother, stay and guard!” and chased after him out of Heiliu Manor.
When the Red Flame Monster reached the high wall outside the rockery, he could only see the distant figures of Happy and his two brothers. Feeling excruciating pain on his face, he wanted to chase after them and tear them apart alive. But thinking of the important person imprisoned inside the rockery, he had no choice but to stay in the manor.
As the Red Flame Monster gritted his teeth, fully focused on what was outside the wall, he completely forgot that the two guards protecting the rockery were already dead. At that moment, a purplish-red figure silently slipped past the bodies of the two guards and entered the darkness inside the rockery, unnoticed by the Red Flame Monster.
It wasn’t until a sound of something being destroyed clearly came from inside that the Red Flame Monster’s expression changed drastically! He turned around urgently and rushed toward the passage to the rockery…
Not yet close!
“You wretched brat! Die!!”

With an aged and domineering roar, the rock path suddenly exploded without warning. The Fiery Flame Old Monster was terrified and quickly stopped in his tracks. “You actually solved it!” Rocks flew everywhere, all hitting the Fiery Flame Old Monster hard under the powerful palm wind! He spat out blood on the spot, crashed through the courtyard wall and flew more than ten meters away. Without hesitation, he took a few leaps and staggered away, not daring to look back.
