Chapter 1672: New Finishing Move
Jiangnan squinted his eyes.
(¬‿¬) "Oh? The truth doesn't matter? So you've made up your mind to take it out on me, huh?"
"Do I look easy to bully?"
But Hope's attacks never stopped, his eyes bloodshot!
"If you do wrong, you pay the price! My woman, Hope's woman, is not someone anyone can touch!"
"I don't care what background or status you have! How big your reputation is! This is Mountain City! No one is leaving today!"
As he spoke, the dense crowd had already surrounded the camp, leaving no gap!
Jiangnan's mouth curled into a smirk as he looked around the crowd.
(◕‿◕) "Stop hiding! Vivian, I know you're watching the show from the side!"
"You want to arm-wrestle with me, huh? Looks like the lesson from the Western Frontier wasn't enough! Fine! Haven't seen you in a while, guess you've improved?"
"Hmm~ Let me guess, Ruiya replicated a space-type ability, got inside your clone, pretended to be me, and used my identity to pull this stunt, right?"
"Not bad thinking, actually caught me off guard!"
At this point, even if Hope realized later that he'd been used as a tool, for the sake of his manly pride, he couldn't swallow his anger!
It was both a conspiracy and an open scheme!
The freckled Wei hidden in the crowd shuddered and couldn't help clicking her tongue.
[Vivian's resentment +666!]
As expected of a scheming genius, he saw through my trick in no time?
And still so calm?
But it's too late—my methods don't stop here!
Jiangnan grinned: "What? Not answering? Determined to play this out with me to the end, huh?"
"But are you sure this garbage can handle me? He hasn't even touched a single hair on my head!"
The crowd gasped!
How arrogant was Jiangnan?
A Dao Heaven six-star like Hope was just garbage in his eyes?
[Hope's resentment +1003!]
(ꐦ´థ益థ)σ "Say that again! I'm avenging my stolen wife here! Show some damn respect!"
Who's this Vivian?
He's completely ignoring me!
Hope was so angry he laughed.
"I'm garbage? Fine, fine! If you've got guts, come out of that broken light ball and fight me head-on!"
"Let's see if I don't tear you apart!"
Jiangnan cracked his neck and, to everyone's shock, stepped out of the light ball.
╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Heh, as you wish."
At that moment, Mountain Cat bristled!
"(º口º*) "Xiao Nan, have you lost your mind?!"
No matter what, Hope was a Dao Heaven-level powerhouse!
No matter how strong Jiangnan was, he wasn't tough enough to face a Dao Heaven head-on!
Yet he chose to step up and confront Hope?
Was he provoked?
Hope squinted, murderous intent blazing in his eyes: "At least you're a man. Let's see what gives you the right to be arrogant!"
Hope didn't waste time.
"Six-Stroke Punch!"
His muscles bulged, the sinews on his arms twisting like steel cables as he swung a devastating punch at Jiangnan!
The fist blazed with brilliant golden light!
Incredibly fast!
Everyone's heart was in their throat. But then, Jiangnan's body leaned forward slightly, vanishing in an instant!
Even leaving an afterimage!
Hope's punch hit nothing. His insect sense made his scalp tingle, an extreme sense of danger flooding his body!
Behind him!
He spun around sharply.
Jiangnan had appeared behind Hope, his eyes glowing with a crimson light, a devilish smile on his face.
(｡͡'╰╯͡')
The big hand he'd been hiding behind his back suddenly pulled out a small fire jar with the character "Paralysis" written on it.
Without a word, he slapped it directly onto Hope's lower back!
"Finishing move! Jiangnan's Syndrome—Half-Body Paralysis! Charge!"
His fingers rapidly double-tapped the "Paralysis" character. The small fire jar emitted a blazing red light and shattered with a crack.
In an instant, Hope lost all feeling in his lower body!
But he still swung a fist back.
However, Jiangnan, having unleashed his finishing move, had already teleported back to Mila's side.
Hope's fist hit nothing, slamming heavily into the ground.
His Six-Stroke Punch was terrifying!
Like Da Lang Mie's Nine-Star Flash, the power stacked!
The already flattened camp exploded from the punch. Six impacts, each more violent than the last!
Like a meteor strike!
It directly blasted a giant crater, even collapsing nearby buildings!
But Jiangnan inside the golden light ball remained completely unharmed.
When the dust cleared, Hope, having just finished his punch, was kneeling on the ground in utter bewilderment.
(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇)
(づ#ど)
∠︶∠
Right in Jiangnan's direction!
Everyone was stunned. What the hell? How was Hope on his knees? What happened in that split second?
Jiangnan put his hands behind his back, wearing an infuriating expression:
(˵ಡ▿ಡ) "Oh, you can't beat me, so you admit it. I know I'm good, but you don't have to kneel and apologize, right?"
"Since you're so sincere, I won't kill you. Get up!"
Hope: !!!
(ꐦ◣益◢) "Who the hell is kneeling to you? Shameless! My… my legs—why aren't they working?"
He wanted to get up, but he couldn't control his legs at all! No feeling whatsoever!
Everything below his hip joint was completely numb!
Hope struggled on his knees, even pounding his thighs violently!
But he couldn't stand!
"What the hell did you do to me?"
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(͡°͜ʖ͡°)╭ "Didn't do much—just gave you a shot of half-body paralysis."
"How do you like it? If not, I've got stroke, Parkinson's, bone spurs, and more. Want to try some?"
"As the number one cupping king of Hua Xia, I've got every disease here!"
This time, Jiangnan had directly injected the paralysis he'd pulled from Xiao Yeye into Hope!
It was caused by Dao injuries. Even Xiao Yeye, a Dao Heaven eight-star, suffered from it!
No wonder Hope's legs wouldn't work!
Xia Yao couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
"Pfft—" Half-body paralysis! That's a brilliant finishing move!
These were the disease jars he'd stored from treating the old folks, right?
And he could use them like this?
The name of this finishing move was too hilarious!
Liu Mang and Qin Shou's eyes almost popped out.
Σ(*口*|||)
What kind of finishing move was that?
One jar and a Dao Heaven was crippled? Kneeling?
Mom! This Southern Man hacked the game again!
Hope was furious: "Half-body paralysis? Think my healing skills are a joke?"
"Limb Regeneration• Rebirth!"
Golden light erupted from him as he tried to heal himself!
But the moment he tried, he coughed up a mouthful of dark blood, his face turning purple!
Shock filled his eyes!
What the hell? My healing skills can regrow severed limbs, but this half-body paralysis can't be cured?
Enraged to the limit, Hope slapped the ground, launching himself toward Jiangnan with recoil!
His back blade wings vibrated furiously, giving him incredible acceleration!
But his legs swung uselessly like noodles.
─=≡Σ(((つ･ˇཀˇ･)つ "I'll—" Pfft!
Before he could finish, Hope coughed up another mouthful of black blood!
He slammed back to the ground on his knees, face full of horror.
"How… how is this?"
The moment he went all out, he felt like his entire cultivation level was about to collapse!
The skyscraper he'd built with so much effort seemed ready to crumble at any moment!
Scared, Hope quickly pulled back his power.
Jiangnan was speechless: (•̆₃•̆) "I told you not to kneel, and you flew over just to kneel closer?"
"I haven't even tried, and you're already on your knees, coughing up blood. I think it's clear who won. No need to keep fighting, right?"
[Hope's resentment +1003!]
Hope pounded the ground in fury!
_(ŏ益ŏ」∠) "What are you waiting for? Get me up!"
"Attack! All of you! Kill them! No one leaves alive!"
Originally, he just wanted to teach Jiangnan a lesson and save face.
But now, Hope was genuinely enraged!
Jiangnan had used some sorcery to cripple his legs!
The Huanghe Hui underlings were stunned too. They'd been waiting to see their boss crush Jiangnan!
Instead, he knelt twice!
Without even being hit, he was coughing blood?
His legs were so weak he couldn't stand?
Was he really that weak, or pretending?
They quickly helped their boss up by the arms!
And then, the Huanghe Hui underlings launched a tidal wave of attacks at Jiangnan and the others!
Brilliant spirit skills rained down!
Especially Gu Gua, who fought the fiercest!
(:･꒦ິ益꒦ີ) "You slept with my wife? I'll sleep with yours too! That's only fair!"
"Brothers! Kill the men! Capture the women!"
"Lip Sword and Tongue Spear!"
Gu Gua opened his wide mouth, and his pink tongue shot out like a spear, stabbing at Jiangnan's group!
At that moment, Xiong Er charged forward!
"Fight us? Did you ask me first?"
With that, he slammed both hands onto the ground!
"Earth Escape• Siege City!"
"Rumble!"
The earth trembled violently as thick earthen walls rose at incredible speed!
Hundreds of meters high, tens of meters thick!
In an instant, the terrain changed, forming a heavy fortress wall that protected everyone inside!
"Unbreakable!"
The next moment, with Xiong Er's angry roar, the rising walls flashed with a bright yellow light!
Though they were just earth, under the "Unbreakable" effect, they took on a metallic quality!
Fireballs, ice crystals, and all kinds of terrifying spirit skills exploded against the walls!
The walls shook endlessly, becoming like the moon's surface, but they blocked almost every attack!
Defensive power was terrifying!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. Xiong Er stepped up!
