Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"The battle in the great hall before wasn't satisfying enough."

"The grace of my senior truly humbles me."

"I, Yi Chengzi, a junior with limited skills, request a battle with Senior Xu Wuxie. Please enlighten me, Senior."

"Borrowing the energy of the heavens! Pure Yang Holy Seal, now open!" Yi Chen quietly chanted in his heart. Suddenly, a tall Daoist with silver hair and eyebrows appeared again, his aura chilling as his cold gaze fixed on Xu Wuxie.

The sound of dragons and tigers roaring resounded through heaven and earth, and two Dragon Tiger Divine Patterns broke free from the Daoist's body, beginning to circle around Yi Chen's Cultivation Body.

Seven milky white orbs suddenly sprouted around his Cultivation Body, suspended above the Daoist's head, as boundless strange power converged towards the orbs, causing the winds to surge and the clouds to churn.

Take advantage of his sickness to claim his life; there's no point in waiting thirty years from now. Today is the day I end him.

Yi Chen, eyeing the golden halberd in Xu Wuxie's hands, had a flash of greedy desire.

"Good! Good! Good! Today truly is like a dragon trapped in shallow waters..." Xu Wuxie laughed in extreme anger, about to say something, but was abruptly interrupted by Yi Chen's fierce shout.

"Get lost!"

"Damn your mother, you old fart, today I'll tear you open."

The tables have turned.

Contrary to the scene a few hours ago, this time it was Yi Chen who interrupted Xu Wuxie. He made the first move, his energy piercing through the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and swung with vicious force straight at Xu Wuxie's head.

"Demon Image: Raging Waves."

Xu Wuxie roared in anger, the phantom image of the demon reappeared behind him. With a point of his halberd, a dense purple radiance was swiftly shot out of the elephant trunk of the demon image, violently colliding with the dazzling Sword Qi released by Yi Chen.

Boom!

A thunderous sound erupted.

The two great radiances exploded with massive sound waves, and the tremendous recoil forced Yi Chen back by more than a dozen meters, while Xu Wuxie only stepped back one meter. Yet, facing this scene, Xu Wuxie couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Senior Xu, that didn't seem powerful at all."

"Several hours have passed; how did you become so feeble?"

"Another go!"

"Today, our fair fight will determine our superiority and also decide life and death!"

With Extreme Origin revitalized, Yi Chen lifted his sword and advanced once again, now noticing the fresh blood bursting from the wound on Xu Wuxie's chest.

"Yi Chengzi, you're seeking death!"

"Demon Image: Golden Charge."

Xu Wuxie's face suddenly turned crimson, and his breathing grew labored. At this moment, he wished nothing more than to tear apart the obnoxious mouth of the tall Daoist in front of him.

So repulsive.

"Yang Ji: Four Symbols."

In an instant, the two exchanged over a dozen moves in the air. Yi Chen's Extreme Origin surged with fury, pressing against the heavens, breaking all directions, while Xu Wuxie's mana brilliance tore through the sky.

After a series of collisions, the two parted again.

The blood from Xu Wuxie's wound flowed more violently with each impact inflicted by Yi Chen.

At this moment, Yi Chen too had a trickle of crimson blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, sustaining light injuries.

Xu Wuxie's strength was truly beyond Yi Chen's expectations, deserving of his status as a peak figure in the ninth layer of the True Person Realm.

A camel starved to death is still bigger than a horse; even with severe injuries, he still possessed such combat power.

While Yi Chen was struck with disbelief, stormy waves were also rising in Xu Wuxie's heart.

Even severely injured, his attacks were not something just anyone could withstand. Yet, strangely, when his attacks landed on Yi Chen, after tearing through the Dragon Tiger Divine Patterns and breaking the thick layer of Extreme Origin, the blows weakened mysteriously when they hit Yi Chen.

And the bizarre healing power of the Daoist before him was simply terrifying.

At this point, Xu Wuxie was starting to consider retreat.

"Yi Chengzi, if you back down now, I can act as if nothing happened today. Otherwise, I swear, even at the cost of severe damage to my Cultivation Body, I will slaughter you," Xu Wuxie said hoarsely.

He truly did not want to continue the fight with Yi Chen any longer. As the battle dragged on, time was not on his side.

Tasting the iron flavor in his mouth, Yi Chen's murderous intent grew stronger: "Cut the crap, come at me again."

"Do you take me for a three-year-old child, Senior?"

"Vital Energy Starfall, explode for me!"

Yi Chen gathered his strength for another blow, amplifying it with the power of Vital Energy Starfall and viciously charging at Xu Wuxie.

"Demon Image Confluence: Heavenly Stomp, Golden Charge, Raging Waves, Alarming Swan, Hit the Heavens! Hit the Heavens! Hit the Heavens!"

Xu Wuxie laughed wildly, forming strange hand seals, ignoring the blood gushing from his chest. His menacing elephant's image took a step to stomp the heavens, swirling its trunk, and a purple light flashed between its brows. The demon image's phantom suddenly detached and charged fiercely headfirst towards Yi Chen.

Boom!

A purple and white confluence of colossal mana streams manifested across the sky, their epochal mights suddenly converging.

The moment they collided, Yi Chen's expression changed. He hadn't anticipated Xu Wuxie's desperation move to be so terrifying, and under the violent force, he was slammed into the mountain behind, vomiting another mouthful of blood.

Xu Wuxie's chest wound grew larger, yet he seemed to completely disregard it, bursting into a maniacal laugh: "Haha, Yi Chengzi, you brought this on yourself! Without that bizarre thing over your head, even if I have to deplete my Dao foundation and regress in realm, I will rip you apart today!"

"Hit the Heavens! Hit the Heavens!"

Xu Wuxie seemed to have gone mad, unleashing the Demon Image Confluence move again, determined to strike Yi Chen down in one blow.

"Ahh! Burn, soul! Burn, soul!" Yi Chen's eyes were bloodshot as he howled to the skies.

Five years, five years, five years, thirty years of life's energy burned brightly. Under the covering of Extreme Origin, dark purple veins surfaced on his skin, resembling demonic patterns.

He could feel the passing of life.

He felt it, power, boundless power surged within him.

It was the ultimate burning!

In that instant, under the coverage of Yi Chen's Extreme Origin, the muscle strength of his entire body continued to pulsate toward his arms like tiny mice. Immense power integrated from his muscles and bones, rushing violently into the palms that wielded the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

The two collided once more like fierce bandits.

Crack.

Yi Chen's continuous Sword Qi brilliance hammered upon the demon elephant's phantom image. After several standstills, Xu Wuxie, severely wounded, couldn't hold on and spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood,

The silvery Sword Qi shattered the demon elephant's illusion, and its remaining force did not diminish as it continued to cleave toward Xu Wuxie.

Xu Wuxie's face changed dramatically. He tried to turn his body, but it was too late; one of his arms was cut off by the Sword Qi.

"Could it be that only the elders possess the cards to gamble with their lives?"

"Hahaha, Elder Xu, you are disabled now!"

Yi Chen began to laugh maniacally, his appearance like that of a lunatic.

"No! Had it not been for Li Yunwan's destructive sword intent causing me severe damage, my Demon Elephant Sky Strike would not have lost to your sword moves!"

"I do not accept this! Demon Elephant, Demon Elephant, Sky Strike!"

Xu Wuxie's body emitted a dense fog of blood; he had given up suppressing his physical injuries and started to operate the Demon Elephant Sky Strike with all his might.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After three earth-shattering collisions, it turned out to be a draw between the two.

The fourth time, Yi Chen's Dragon-Slaying Sword's edge stopped at Xu Wuxie's forehead, but he didn't chop down.

Because he knew, Xu Wuxie was already dead; he'd been running on fumes, operating the Demon Elephant Sky Strike repeatedly regardless of his injuries.

At the moment of his death, Xu Wuxie's long spear was still raised, pointing towards Yi Chen.

"Today's battle has been exhilarating, what a pity, Elder, you were still a notch below me."

Yi Chen sighed lightly, pulling the Holy Halberd Tianwen from Xu Wuxie's grasp.

In an instant, Xu Wuxie's body disintegrated, turning into a pile of fragments.

Yi Chen silently looked at the scraps of flesh on the ground:

"Alright, I admit the Elder's cultivation was astonishing, I just took a bit of an advantage."

A spark of silver-white fire fell into the blood-stained flesh on the ground. Yi Chen, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, dug a deep pit and buried Xu Wuxie's ashes inside, then carved a stone monument.

The tomb of Xu Wuxie stood solemnly within a small valley, with a wildflower placed in front of the grave.

Xu Wuxie's spirit earned Yi Chen's recognition, as he brought the Holy Halberd Tianwen to Yi Chen from within the True Martial Pavilion despite his serious injuries.

What kind of spirit was this?

It was a spirit of xx.

He must be properly buried.

Just as Yi Chen was about to carefully examine the Holy Halberd Tianwen, suddenly, a childish, milky laugh echoed within the cave abode.

"I observe the Guanyin, I see the true self in the True Martial."

"Unlocking the shackles of the past, only today do I know that I am myself."

"I, the golden treasure, am finally free! In gratitude for your assistance in my escape, all of you can roll away!"

"Teleport!"

Upon these words, Yi Chen felt a strange force pervade the entire cave abode; a flash of white light enveloped his body. He wanted to resist, but through the white light covering his body, he saw a continuous range of green mountains.

Yi Chen's mind shifted, and he slammed violently into the white light. As the world spun around him, and when his figure finally stabilized, he found himself in a valley on Thousand Boats Peak.

Seeing several figures scattering across the distant sky, Yi Chen hurriedly altered his appearance, restrained his breath, and slipped away.

Two days later, in the depths of an unnamed mountain range, within a secluded cave.

A robust bear lay sweetly asleep.

Suddenly, a tall figure burst into the cave, standing in front of the bear, and the shadow immediately engulfed the bear.

A practiced hand-chop landed on the bear's neck.

The bear slept even more soundly.

After taking out a Luminous Pearl the size of a fist from the storage ring to illuminate the visitor's face, it turned out to be Gui Zhongdao from the Blood Killing Tower.

Yi Chen took out the Holy Halberd Tianwen, feeling the resisting emotions coming from within the halberd's body and let out a sigh.

When he wanted to completely control and soak the Holy Halberd with Extreme Origin, he unexpectedly discovered the existence of a Spirit within the halberd, which had a huge temper, seemingly as intelligent as a six or seven-year-old child.

If he couldn't gain the acceptance of this Spirit, the halberd would not be able to unleash its full power; at best, it could only be used as an incredibly sturdy and sharp weapon without any other characteristics.

"Spear child, do you yield or not? I have a bad temper, do you believe I would soak you in a manure pit for two days?" Yi Chen began to threaten the Spirit.

"Soak away. Even with that, I will not submit."

"My master must at least be close to the Dao." The Spear Spirit was stubborn.

"What is a 'person close to the Dao'?"

"How would I know? I was heavily injured by the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Formation a thousand years ago, and I've already lost most of my memory. Anyway, you are not it now."

"Good, Spear child, you have successfully caught my attention."

"I like your stubbornness."

With a snap, Yi Chen placed the Holy Halberd Tianwen into the storage ring, then took out the "Overbearing Martial True Qi" from within the True Martial Pavilion, which he had obtained with great effort. Today, his injuries had completely healed, and by chance, he found a hidden bear cave, perfect for a breakthrough in True Technique.
