Chapter 433 433 Testing Three

Inside the Tianju Pavilion.

Two slender figures gazed remotely from a high window, observing the activity in the direction of the Chunyang Pagoda.

One of the two was as thin as a skeleton, yet wore a black dress, completely lacking the curves a woman should have.

The other had a white porcelain jar on his head, not even revealing his eyes, making it difficult to understand how he traveled on a daily basis.

These two were none other than Qiu Ming and Yun Shan, two of the city's Four Yin Gods.

"Tiancan has gone over. It seems something has happened to that Ouyang family." Qiu Ming didn't quite understand. "Just the Ouyang family? If it were before Ouyang Tong was injured, they could勉强 (mianqiang - barely) be considered worth wooing, but what's the point of sticking his neck out now?"

"The Teacher is temporarily away. Perhaps he wants to spend a fortune to recruit talent? Using the Ouyang family to express his sense of justice? After all, his brain has such a small capacity; what good ideas could he possibly have?" Yun Shan said in a low voice.

"I think it might be related to the map that the Ouyang family sent earlier."

"The Caiying Map? Perhaps." Yun Shan was somewhat listless. Since the National Preceptor disappeared, the Shao Yin Kingdom had been deteriorating, with various troubles occurring every month. Today it was the Ouyang family, yesterday it was another family.

The flags on the city walls changed frequently, and the banners of each family were constantly changing. The task of the Four Yin Gods was to stabilize the situation in the entire Qu Ling Prefecture, no matter how things changed.

Ensuring the basic stability of life for most of the people.

This was the Dharma Edict left by the True One before leaving.

"When will the Teacher return?" Yun Shan thought for a moment and asked.

"He'll be back for a while in the evening," Qiu Ming said.

"Then please call me in the evening. I'm going to get some sleep first." Yun Shan turned and walked toward the interior of the Tianju Pavilion.

"Aren't you going to watch?" Qiu Ming asked, puzzled.

"With Tiancan intervening, there's no suspense in the situation. What's there to watch?" Yun Shan shook his head.

"That's true..." Qiu Ming smiled, turned around, and prepared to leave as well.

*Whoosh*

Suddenly, a strange beast roar came from the direction of the Chunyang Pagoda.

Accompanying the beast roar was a circle of invisible, bizarre sound waves that covered and spread to a range of several hundred meters around the Chunyang Pagoda.

All the martial artists watching nearby, and the ordinary people hiding in corners and houses, felt a splitting headache at this moment.

Some Red Eyes hidden among the ordinary people turned their eyes white, trembled all over, their condition rapidly worsening, their bodies rapidly deforming, growing a large number of black-red long hairs. Under the control of this strange sound, they entered a Half-Blood Body state and rapidly approached the Chunyang Pagoda.

"This is... the Rong Ling True Seal State!? Tiancan, this guy actually dares to unfold his true form in the city!? Is he crazy!?" Qiu Ming's expression changed drastically.

After the Rong Ling realm, martial artists integrate their True Seal into their bodies, turning it into their own True Seal, thereby gaining the qualification to unfold a state called the Rong Ling True Seal State.

Martial artists in this state are considered their true form.

But this state has an extremely bad aspect, which is that it naturally affects all people infected with the Red Eye Disease around them, causing it to worsen and evolve into the Blood Seal state of Half-Blood Body, forcibly conscripted to gather and kill enemies.

And even more troublesome is that the Rong Ling True Seal State not only affects those infected, but also gradually infects some normal people who get close, turning them into Red Eyes.

They are, in fact, the original source of the Red Eye Disease.

And now, Tiancan actually dares to defy the True One's Dharma Edict, using the Rong Ling True Seal State in a densely populated area of the city... This is simply madness!?

The key is that Tiancan's First True Seal is of the explosive type, which is good at increasing both strength and speed. This also leads to him easily injuring others when he starts fighting.

"Go! Go take a look! Who can force him to use his true form."

Qiu Ming leaped out of the window at the first moment. His toes touched the air, the air was squeezed and exploded, and he had disappeared from the spot, rushing toward the Chunyang Pagoda.

Yun Shan's eyes, through the white porcelain jar, seemed to be able to see the situation inside the Chunyang Pagoda.

"It seems something interesting has happened..."

*Chi!*

In an instant, his figure flashed, suddenly turning into a pool of blood, exploding and disappearing in place.

Inside the Chunyang Pagoda.

Li Cheng Yi and Tiancan stood facing each other. Circles of blood-colored air waves spread out from Tiancan's body, like ripples on the water.

It was just that these ripples were three-dimensional, in all directions, and constantly expanding around.

Tiancan's body began to continuously rise, the silkworm threads all over his body were torn and broken, and streams of black-red blood flowed out from his sides, but on closer inspection, it didn't look like blood at all, but clumps of blood shadows.

A thick, bloody stench spread from his body.

Three meters.

Four meters.

Five meters...

Until seven meters.

Only then did Tiancan's body slowly stop growing.

The top of his head broke through the ceiling, connecting the first and second floors of the Chunyang Pagoda. Standing in place, Tiancan had completely transformed from a normal human body into a huge blood man with his skin peeled off.

At the location of his head's ears, a large number of blood-colored wriggling tentacles suddenly emerged from inside the ear holes.

The two ears were each a cluster of tentacles. They seemed to grow wildly from the bone marrow, like countless ropes, frantically waving around, bringing out bursts of terrifying sonic booms.

*Whoosh*

At this time, a strange beast roar seemed to appear out of thin air in the air.

But Li Cheng Yi could clearly see that the sound was coming from the center of Tiancan's body, from a row of black holes from top to bottom.

"You should kneel down and repent!" Tiancan lowered his head, looking at Li Cheng Yi, who was only as tall as his legs at this time, and made a huge, indistinct sound.

"While I can still control myself..."

"Fighting here, aren't you afraid of hurting others?" Li Cheng Yi looked up at the other party.

"Come here."

His eyes narrowed, his shadow flashed, and he disappeared from the spot, reappearing thirty meters away outside the pagoda.

His toes touched the roof, and his figure suddenly accelerated strangely and silently, soaring to seven times the speed of sound, like a ghost, rushing toward the outside of the city.

Since fusing with the Second Seal obtained through 真气 (zhenqi - true energy), his movement speed seemed to violate the essence of physics. When moving at high speed or exerting force slightly, the 真气 (zhenqi - true energy) that had been fused would suddenly appear in a way similar to Blood Essence, amplifying his skills.

He guessed that this might be the original source of Blood Essence. The first generation of Blood Essence martial artists originated from 真气 (zhenqi - true energy) martial artists. After the 真气 (zhenqi - true energy) merged with the spirit and seals, they gradually transformed the body and produced a sublimated version of Blood Essence.

And he might be in this state now.

Seven times the speed of sound, this was his strongest speed in his normal form.

But the strange giant behind him actually followed up, and its huge body was not only not a burden, but also light as a shadow, flying and pouncing out of thin air as if it had no weight at all.

The speed was even faster than his current seven times the speed of sound.

Li Cheng Yi was not surprised. Blood Essence martial artists at the level of Yin Gods, who were also strong people who had reached the Rong Ling state, it was not strange for them to have such strength.

If they didn't have such strength, how could they suppress so many experts and strong people in Qu Ling Prefecture.

From what he understood, the overall strength of Qu Ling Prefecture was not weak in the entire Shao Yin Kingdom.

And the strength of the Yin Gods was at least in the top twenty of the Feng Tian Ranking.

So... this time, he could just use Tiancan to test his current level.

In fact, after obtaining the new Flower Language, the passive increase of ten times the vitality brought the greatest increase to the basic physical fitness.

With the improvement of basic physical fitness, and then amplified by various abilities such as the Flower Scale Clothing, the final improvement was actually extremely exaggerated.

But it was precisely because this improvement was too complicated that he did not have an accurate judgment of his true strength.

Therefore, determining his position through actual combat was the fastest way.

The completion of the Second Seal, the ten-fold increase in vitality, how much these two improvements could strengthen him, all of this required a sufficiently clear reference object.

So, he rushed directly into the Ouyang family to start testing, but...

Ouyang Yuanji, as the current number one expert, disappointed him too much...

Not only could he not force out his current full strength, but he could not even force out his Engraved Seal state...

*Chi!*

In an instant, Li Cheng Yi suddenly stopped, landed, stopped, and turned around.

At this time, he had already left the city and come to a desolate black cliff.

On the left was a night sea with undulating waves. The black seawater rolled up layers of white waves, hitting the bottom of the cliff, making a deafening roar.

Black seabirds flew over his head, circled back, and hovered, making unpleasant shrieks.

As if waiting for one side to fall after their fight, so they could peck at the flesh and blood.

Tiancan also stopped in the rear. Although he was fast, he did not try to attack Li Cheng Yi along the way, but cooperated tacitly and moved away from the city together.

After all, if Qu Ling Prefecture was destroyed, he would definitely be blamed when the True One returned.

And Li Cheng Yi's actions were exactly what he wanted.

"Let's make this your burial place." Tiancan said coldly.

The huge body of more than seven meters high, the dozens of blood-colored tentacles on both sides of his head seemed to have their own consciousness, spontaneously waving around. As if venting excess anger.

'Contempt +1'

'Contempt +1'

'Contempt +1'

A trace of evil thoughts poured into Li Cheng Yi's mind at this time, and then merged into the Evil Flower imprint.

This surprised him somewhat.

This kind of evil thought was the first time he had absorbed it, but it was understandable. After all, with his strength soaring, even if ordinary opponents believed they could beat him, they would not have this kind of superior evil thought.

Only the local strong here...

"You want to kill me?" Li Cheng Yi asked.

"Wantonly fighting in the city, killing many members of the Ouyang family, and destroying the rules of Qu Ling Prefecture, do you think I should kill you?" Tiancan sneered. "Forget it, it's my last kindness to talk so much nonsense with you. Now..."

"You can die!"

Before the words even landed, his huge body had already turned into a blood shadow, suddenly approaching.

Ten times the speed of sound!

The feeling that the terrifying speed brought to others was like teleportation, appearing from one point to another in an instant.

By the time Li Cheng Yi noticed, the other party was already in front of him.

A huge right fist slammed down at him, the size of a single fist being as big as two of his heads. It fell from above, bringing a huge shadow that enveloped Li Cheng Yi's upper body.

More importantly, this attack had already exceeded ten times the speed of sound, reaching an even faster level!

How fast? Li Cheng Yi could not judge, but it was definitely, definitely, far beyond previous estimates.

Twelve times?

Fifteen times?

He didn't know.

There was no need to think about these things now. His fist, which he had already swung, also slammed head-on at the other party.

*Hu!*

*Rumble!!!*

In an instant, two fists, one large and one small, collided at the same time.

The terrifying collision sound mixed with violent gusts of wind, turning all the surrounding airflow into substantial white gas, blowing it away to the surroundings.

The cliff under Li Cheng Yi's feet could not bear the weight and broke, falling toward the night sea.

His whole body also crashed into the sea with the cliff.

Huge waves were stirred up, forcibly suppressing the wave patterns that were constantly impacting the shore.

"It's over, you pitiful worm." Tiancan coldly watched the turbulent night sea, watching the cliff completely disappear into the sea, with no movement anymore. He could no longer sense the other party's movement.

He originally thought the other party had some ability, but he didn't expect that it would all end with just one punch.

What's the use of saying harsh words? If you can't withstand one move, you're just trash in the end.

Taking a step back, he turned around and prepared to return to the city.

*Thump.*

In a trance, a heavy heartbeat came from the night sea.
