Chapter 485: Dragon Elephant Diagram

“Perfect timing!”
Xueyi took the initiative to fight, eager for the battle. With a loud shout, he turned around and threw a punch, unhesitatingly meeting Xueyi’s palm strike with his own.
“Be careful of his Star-Sucking Art!” Bai Xiaosheng, after all, wasn’t a true martial artist and didn’t have such quick reflexes. Seeing that Kai Xin continued to fight bare-handed without using a weapon, he immediately warned him.
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t possibly guess that Kai Xin and Xueyi had been close friends for two years. Knowing full well the power of Xueyi’s Star-Sucking Art, Kai Xin certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to engage in close combat.
The Eighteen Dragon Palm Techniques were truly extraordinary!
Wherever the palm wind struck, dragon-shaped vortices would form around it. As long as he focused his mind, he needn’t fear Xueyi…
Boom!
Instead of their palms colliding tightly, Xueyi was sent stumbling back several steps under the force of the attack, his eyes flickering in surprise.
“Such fierce punching power.”
During the exchange, he clearly felt a powerful force weakening him while strengthening his opponent’s strength. Although his own palm wind was still more lethal, the opposing forces balanced each other out. The effects of the Star-Sucking Art were not only blocked by the airflow surrounding the opponent’s arm but also countered by the dragon-shaped vortices, costing him a slight disadvantage.
“No wonder he’s so arrogant! But… if that’s all your strength, you’re not enough…” With a cold snort, Xueyi didn’t even finish saying “qualified” before suddenly hearing a suppressed dragon roar rise into the sky. Realizing a far greater presence emanating from his opponent, he was shocked and didn’t dare neglect it. He activated all four levels of his power at once, unleashing a powerful sucking force from his hands.
Though surprised by the opponent’s growing strength, Xueyi feared nothing more than such a pure clash of power!
The stronger the enemy, the more excited Xueyi became!
The essence of the Star-Sucking Art was to weaken the enemy’s internal energy and strengthen his own. Watching the enemy grow weaker and more desperate in front of him gave him more room to exert his power.
But…
Boom!!
His palm strike failed to grasp the opponent’s arm.
A mighty force slammed into him.
Although the Star-Sucking Art could already weaken and absorb the opponent’s energy from a distance, the opponent’s sudden charge still sent shockwaves through his body, forcing him to stagger back several steps.
“Again!”
After a fierce roar, punches and dragon roars rushed at him with even greater intensity!

The dragon-shaped vortex, which had previously been less than half a meter wide, had now expanded significantly, dragging behind it a pale yellow aura and a sharp howling sound as it struck Blood-Clothed Man hard as he retreated.
Blood-Clothed Man continued to draw powerful energy from the air using the Star-Sucking Technique while gritting his teeth to withstand the pressure. Yet, the combined force of the vortex and the attacks made it impossible for him to defend against both at the same time, leading to his steady decline.
“Damn it! I’ll see how many more times you can strike—I’ll suck the life out of you!” As the man in the mysterious yellow robe pressed closer, unleashing relentless attacks that forced Blood-Clothed Man to passively absorb internal energy, he was furious but helpless—the opponent’s technique was truly overwhelming.
Third punch… fourth punch…
Although Happy’s internal energy had been reduced to some extent, the inherent counter-effect of the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” on the Star-Sucking Technique meant the loss wasn’t significant, leaving his attacks unaffected. On the contrary, as the number of attacks increased, Happy was surprised to find that their lethality had risen to that of a fourth-stage Golden Fist Glove… and the process was much smoother and easier than when dealing with Master Breaker—because Blood-Clothed Man had no resistance at all!
Suddenly, Happy felt the urge to restrain his own power. He didn’t want to advance so quickly and reveal his full strength to crush Blood-Clothed Man, so each time he subconsciously held back a bit, maintaining his devastating pace and speed to ensure he could push Blood-Clothed Man back.
Bang!!
Thud… thud… thud…
To outsiders, it seemed as though Blood-Clothed Man was being completely suppressed in battle—unable to fight back. After seven punches, he was already staggering toward the edge of the courtyard!
“Get lost!”
Finally unable to take it anymore, Blood-Clothed Man stepped on the wall, unleashing a power nearly a quarter stronger than before. With a fist strike fueled by a power close to the Liberation Realm, he tried to use the wall’s rebound to turn the tide.
“He’s attacking!”
Langya and the others’ eyes lit up.
Actually, from Blood-Clothed Man’s orderly retreat, they had already sensed that he might not be as disadvantaged as it seemed. The Star-Sucking Technique might have been secretly building his strength while weakening the man in the mysterious yellow robe. Now, seeing him charge out like a bullet, they knew he was preparing to counterattack!
But just as Blood-Clothed Man’s power surged dramatically, an even more astonishing aura erupted from Happy!!
Roar!!!

A massive vortex silently rose from the courtyard, sweeping up countless dust particles and fallen leaves! Dragging dust from the ground and lifting numerous hard blue bricks, it appeared in Happy’s palm with a terrifying roar—a one-meter-thick dragon head filled with dust, leaves, bricks, and other debris. Its five fingers curled into claws as it let out a heart-shattering roar, slapping Blood-Clothed Man with such force that he crashed to the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater.

Bang!

Countless shattered blue bricks scattered everywhere, leaving a mess.

“…”

Watching Blood-Clothed Man stand up in disarray, Langya and Bai Xiaosheng both gasped in shock.

Before they could even ask Happy to stop, he struck again, giving Blood-Clothed Man no chance at all…

The ninth move!

Bang!

Only then did Blood-Clothed Man realize that he had been secretly building up his strength to counterattack, while his opponent had also been waiting for a long time. His face turned pale instantly, and his gaze sharpened as he shouted, “Reverse the Stars!”

One of the secrets of the Star-Sucking Art—instantly reversing and spinning the enemy around. Although it required a great deal of internal energy, there was no time to worry about that now.

Happy had already noticed Blood-Clothed Man’s movements as soon as he attacked and became alert. He closed his eyes and entered a state of relying on internal energy to guide his actions, ready to counterattack.

But what he didn’t expect was…

As his body trembled and the world seemed to reverse, an image suddenly appeared in his mind!

In a dizzying sensation, a giant dragon let out a roar that split the skies. Its massive body writhed wildly, unleashing waves of immense power that changed the colors of heaven and earth.

Within those waves of power, techniques he had practiced countless times but never managed to wield effectively were executed instinctively…

It was as if a giant dragon flipping through heaven and earth suddenly stretched out its body!
