"A mere Grandmaster, nothing more!"

Chen Yuan's lips curled into a grin, a streak of crimson blood trickling out, yet his gaze was fiery and bright. The earlier clash had ignited his fighting spirit to its peak.

"Sharp-tongued."

You Feng stared intently at Chen Yuan. The confrontation, though lasting only a hundred or so breaths, had involved over a thousand exchanges and collisions.

Such high-intensity combat, even if it hadn't completely depleted his true essence, had certainly used up more than half. Chen Yuan's aura was now noticeably weakened.

He truly didn't understand where the other's confidence came from.

So ordinary, yet so self-assured!

With a faint smile, Chen Yuan's hand glowed red as he popped a Blood Bodhi into his mouth. His previously weakened aura rapidly began to surge.

When it came to consuming elixirs, who did he have to fear?

You Feng's gaze turned cold, his brow furrowed. Sensing Chen Yuan's waning aura beginning to dissipate, he narrowed his eyes, realizing that Chen Yuan possessed treasures that could restore injuries.

Truly wealthy!

Top-grade spiritual weapons, healing elixirs, plus the dragon scale that belonged to him—the other party's assets even surpassed his own. Comparing people was truly infuriating!

"Yin Wind Black Haze!"

You Feng formed hand seals, and streams of black evil energy emanated from his body. Within moments, they coalesced into a vast expanse, blotting out the sky.

The boundless black evil energy made it seem like the end of the world had arrived.

"Hasten!"

He gestured with a finger seal, and the sky-filled black haze rapidly enveloped Chen Yuan.

At the same time, he tapped several times on his chest with a sword-finger, then opened his mouth, and a black stream of light disappeared into the boundless black haze, vanishing without a trace.

This object was the spiritual weapon he had nurtured within his body.

In the past, when facing enemies, this Black Haze Sword, coupled with the boundless black evil energy, was virtually invincible. Even when he was only at the Profound Connection cultivation level,

with only a tenth or a twelfth of his current momentum, he had repeatedly emerged victorious.

This time, naturally, there would be no exception.

After the earlier exchanges, he admitted that Chen Yuan did possess some strength. With a top-grade spiritual weapon in hand, he wouldn't be able to defeat him within a quarter of an hour, but faced with the Yin Wind Black Haze,

he could only meet his end here.

Watching the sky-obscuring black evil energy in the void, Chen Yuan suddenly smiled. If the other party had used some other means, perhaps he wouldn't have been able to block it.

But evil energy?

Did he not know what kind of divine weapon he held?

The Peerless Fierce Weapon was inherently an extremely Yin and evil object. For hundreds of years it was tempered under the Earth-Heart Fire Vein of Hidden Weapons Valley without its ferocity being diminished. In fact,

if it weren't for the Destiny Altar's assistance, he might not have been able to subdue it.

Moreover, it had devoured the Blood Evil Blade, which was capable of swallowing evil energy. The other party's move was a complete miscalculation.

One had to know that when Chen Yuan condensed evil energy, the Blood Evil Blade had devoured all of the Extreme Yin Blood Evil. This Yin Wind Black Haze was no exception, even if it had been refined,

its essence was still evil energy.

His gaze flickered, and the Emperor Slaughter Blade hovered in the void. Watching the approaching evil energy, Chen Yuan focused his mind, communicating with the Dragon Soul of the Emperor Slaughter Blade. Immediately afterward,

a resounding dragon roar echoed through the void.

The Emperor Slaughter Blade radiated divine light, and a phantom Dragon Soul several dozen feet in size abruptly flew out of the Emperor Slaughter Blade. However, under the cover of the Yin Wind Black Haze, it was difficult to see clearly.

Just as Madam Xu and Han Yu and others were filled with anxiety,

the black Dragon Soul howled out, its massive body swimming in the void. Without Chen Yuan's control, it directly opened its dragon maw. No matter how endless the other party's evil energy was,

it could devour it all.

"Roar!"

The dragon tail swept across, leaving a void.

All the Yin Wind Black Haze was devoured by the Dragon Soul, and the Emperor Slaughter Blade shone with a dark light.

You Feng's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe this scene. The evil energy he was so proud of had not caused Chen Yuan any harm.

Instead, it had been devoured by him through some bizarre means.

Was that Dragon Soul a technique derived from the dragon scale?

Anger welled up in his heart. You Feng formed hand seals. Under his mind's guidance,

a black stream of light shot out from the nearly extinguished Yin Wind Black Haze, its target Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's chest expanded, his blood vibrated, and he raised his right arm with a gentle wave.

Tiger Leopard Thunderous Roar.

An overwhelming surge of fist energy was unleashed with a single punch.

"Bang!"

The fist energy struck the black stream of light, directly sending it flying.

You Feng's gaze was icy, and he formed hand seals to retrieve the spiritual weapon.

The Dragon Soul in the void also seemed to have eaten its fill and turned back, coiling above Chen Yuan's head.

The Emperor Slaughter Blade in hand, the Evil Dragon Soul coiling in the void.

A pair of fierce dragon eyes stared intently at You Feng.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, You Feng was enraged. With a movement, streams of bloody light surged towards Chen Yuan.

He also moved at the same time.

No greetings, no harsh words.

Having reached this point in the battle, there was nothing left to say but to kill.

He wanted to kill Chen Yuan and reclaim the dragon scale.

Chen Yuan also wanted to kill him and obtain Destiny.

Bloody streams of light converged in the void, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was devoured by them. In a short instant, a massive bloody phantom appeared, exuding an aura of deathly silence.

"I will annihilate your soul!"

A hoarse voice came from You Feng's mouth.

His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"The one whose soul will be annihilated is you!"

Chen Yuan's arms shook, and he stepped forward, transforming into a wisp of black light, charging straight towards the bloody phantom. The Dragon Soul coiling in the void was drawn out.

Opening its dragon maw, its roar shook the heavens!

The intense rumble could be felt even ten miles away. The battlefield where the two were engaged had shifted outside the county seat. The ground rumbled like earthworms turning over, creating massive fissures.

If such a scene had continued within the county seat, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a large part of the county would be destroyed, or at least a small part of it, because the two were moving as they fought.

A Profound Connection cultivator challenging a Grandmaster was a grand feat no matter when it happened.

At this moment, Chen Yuan's long hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in bloodstains, the result of You Feng's attacks. Of course, You Feng, who was being frantically attacked by the desperate Chen Yuan, wasn't faring any better.

His condition was about the same as Chen Yuan's.

Streaks of crimson blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and parts of his clothing were torn. This was definitely a humiliation for him, a great humiliation.

The radius of their battle grew larger and larger, and the Essence Qi in the void surged, constantly colliding.

As the dragon's roar resounded, the two even broke a small hill in half.

Madam Xu and Han Yu followed far behind the two combatants. At this moment, they didn't know what to say. The shock in their hearts had completely overwhelmed them.

The evenly matched, life-and-death struggle between the two filled them with awe.

Blood sprayed without retreat, and long hair whipped around crazily.

Han Yu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with admiration and passion. One day, he would reach Chen Yuan's level, challenging a Grandmaster as a Profound Connection cultivator.

What dominance!

He was truly a model for martial artists.

As martial artists, why fear a battle?

Unfortunately, Chen Yuan didn't want them to intervene this time. Otherwise, it would have been a feat they could boast about in the future. Of course, they also understood that Chen Yuan was concerned for their safety.

The two's battle was now definitely a clash at the Grandmaster level.

Going up there would be suicide.

Unlike Han Yu, Madam Xu's eyes flickered with worry. If possible, she certainly didn't want Chen Yuan to take such a risk.

A battle of this level could easily lead to death.

The battle had only been going on for about a quarter of an hour, but the two figures in the void were already both injured, and their end was not far away.

Madam Xu and Han Yu weren't the only ones watching. They were just closer.

In fact, anyone with any sense in the entire county was watching their battle from afar. The Essence Qi in the void stirred the heavens.

Their battle sounded like thunder rumbling.

There were many reasons why the people of the small county were watching the battle. Most were there to see the spectacle, but many were there for Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's fame in Tangshan Prefecture was undeniable. From eighty-year-old men to three-year-old children, everyone was familiar with Chen Yuan's name.

One reason was that during the purge of Tangshan, many people chanted his name.

The second reason was that the storytellers in the city had been telling stories about Chen Yuan for the past few months. They couldn't help but know about him. Even some children were playing Chen Yuan when they played house.

Whoever played ‘Chen Yuan’ would be happy all day, and whoever drew the role of Chen Yongzhi from the Chopping Knife Gang would be upset for several days.

There was no way around it. In the stories, Chen Yongzhi of the Chopping Knife Gang had become a completely negative character.

His years of oppressing the people and harming the villagers had long been spread far and wide.

Those who came for Chen Yuan wanted to see his battle against a Grandmaster.

Tangshan Prefecture was adjacent to Shuzhou and Blood Province, and it was the only route for many martial artists heading north. Under the influence of their elders, many people knew a lot about martial arts.

The martial spirit was strong.

Naturally, they knew what a Grandmaster meant.

Now that they had the opportunity to witness such a battle, how could they miss it?

"That's Chen Yuan? He really is like the storyteller said, with a Dragon Soul protecting him. It seems he really is the reincarnation of a Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, here to experience a tribulation in the mortal world.

Once the tribulation is over, he will ascend to become an immortal."

Someone couldn't help but say as they looked at the Dragon Soul in the void.

"Qing Envoy Chen is truly invincible in the mortal world. I ask the world, who can be his enemy?" Someone said with fanatic reverence for Chen Yuan.

"Those words are too much. Although Qing Envoy Chen is powerful, there are countless strong people in the world. How could he really be invincible?" Someone immediately retorted. *Sū Dān Novel Network*

This person was a bit knowledgeable, a martial artist from another state who happened to be passing by and encountered this battle.

He knew that there were terrifying powerhouses above the Core Formation realm in the world, who were truly like immortals and gods.

"I don't care. In my heart, Qing Envoy Chen is invincible. I've already decided that in a few days, I'll go to the prefecture city to see if I can join Qing Envoy Chen's ranks."

"Who is that Grandmaster? Does anyone know?"

An old man with Condensed Astral cultivation looked at this scene with a solemn expression and couldn't help but say.

"I don't know. Perhaps a Grandmaster from another state."

"Why do you think this person wants to intercept and kill Chen Yuan?"

Someone's mind sparked:

"Do you all remember the Yun family incident that was all the rage a few days ago?"

"Are you saying that the Yun family instructed this person to attack Chen Yuan?"

"Now that you mention it, I think it's very possible. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?"

"Heh, the Five Surnames Yun family really has no face. They're even resorting to bullying the weak in internal disputes. It's truly a disgrace to the Shuzhou martial world." Someone said coldly.

They were all martial artists with some cultivation who were passing through here and naturally knew about the so-called Yun family.

"That's right. Although Chen Yuan's actions are fierce, he's still upright. I approve of the Yun family taking action against him, but I can't stand this kind of bullying the weak and relying on strength."

"What are you all saying? Bullying the weak? Are you not seeing that this battle is considered bullying the weak? Chen Yuan is clearly on par with that Core Formation Grandmaster!"

Someone reminded them.

With this reminder, everyone immediately changed the topic and began to judge the battle. Even with their cultivation, they couldn't see much.

But after all, it was just spectating, so everyone expressed their own opinions.

"In my opinion, although Chen Yuan is powerful and can barely contend with a Grandmaster, he's bound to fall here today."

"I don't agree. Chen Yuan might win this battle."

"Why do you say that?"

"Intuition."

"It's said that the Azure Province Gold Envoy, Sword God Jiang He, values Chen Yuan very much. If Chen Yuan falls here today, do you think Jiang He will kill his way to the Yun family?"

"It's very possible. That Sword God has a decisive and ruthless personality and would definitely avenge Chen Yuan. At that time, Shuzhou will once again be filled with bloodshed."

"Brothers, what do you say? If Chen Yuan wins today, can he reach the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking? After all, he directly killed a Grandmaster-level powerhouse."

"Um... If it were in any other year, being able to kill a Grandmaster as a Profound Connection cultivator would definitely make him the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. But you all know that this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking is different.

The top three have had feats of contending with Grandmasters several years ago. Now that several years have passed, their strength must be even more terrifying. Even if Chen Yuan can kill a Grandmaster, he might not be able to compare to them."

"Yes, I agree with that."

"But if Chen Yuan can really win, I'm afraid there will definitely be no problem for him to be in the top five of the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

"That's for sure!"

"I wonder if this person can accomplish this feat."

"If he can really do it, then Chen Yuan will probably become truly famous."

"Let's wait and see."

The spectators were abuzz with various speculations. Some said Chen Yuan would win, some said Chen Yuan would definitely die, and some said that neither could do anything to the other.

In short, the people below were lively.

The battle in the void continued.

But it was almost over. Chen Yuan's clothes were dyed blood red. You Feng's spiritual weapon, which had been glowing with black light, had pierced directly through his shoulder,

leaving a bloody hole.

Under the tattered clothes, the exposed flesh was bulging with veins. After a continuous and frenzied battle, Chen Yuan had reached his limit. For this reason, he had consumed another Blood Bodhi.

Battling a Grandmaster was indeed difficult.

This battle surpassed any battle Chen Yuan had faced before. If it were anyone else, the powerful pressure would have been unbearable.

But who told him to be Chen Yuan?

Even if he couldn't bear it, he had to bear it!

Martial artists had to tap into their greatest strength.

Otherwise, if he wanted to end the battle sooner, he had a talisman in his hand that could severely injure the other party if not kill him.

However, Chen Yuan didn't use it.

Because he couldn't rely on talismans for everything, and he couldn't rely on Jiang He for everything.

In the intense battle, Chen Yuan's mentality had undergone a huge change.

His indomitable spirit was even stronger.

His Fist Intent was also more condensed.

This was also his goal, to treat the other party as a whetstone, and he was the sharp blade that could cut through everything!

"Boom!"

Another violent roar.

Chen Yuan and You Feng spat out a mouthful of red blood at the same time, retreating hundreds of meters.

The center of the battle was like a vacuum, and a layer of heat quickly spread.

Under the refraction of the sun, it was as if the void was distorted.

You Feng hung his head, his eyes full of bloodshot, his body soaked in red, his aura extremely weak. He couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in his heart.

Using all his means, he still couldn't do anything to Chen Yuan!

He had even destroyed his spiritual weapon.

At this moment, he even felt a trace of regret.

Of course, more than that was madness.

In the course of the battle, he had damaged his origin and injured his foundation. Without divine medicine to make up for it, he might never make any further progress in this life. But he didn't give up,

because he still had hope.

As long as he could retrieve the dragon scale and use dragon energy to make up for it, he still had hope of recovering. Otherwise, he would really be at a great loss.

"Huff... Huff..."

Chen Yuan's mouth was full of blood, and he panted heavily. But there was a happy smile on his face as he stared at You Feng and said:

"A mere Grandmaster is indeed vulnerable."

"You'll soon know what regret is. I said I would make your life worse than death, and I will definitely do it. A mere Profound Connection cultivator dares to shine."

A trace of madness flashed in You Feng's eyes.

He didn't retreat, nor did he stop. He still wanted to kill Chen Yuan.

Ever since he had stepped into the martial path, he had always been indomitable, using all means to move forward without ever retreating. It was with this crazy and fierce energy

that he was able to fight his way out of Blood Province and form a core to become a Grandmaster.

This time was no exception.

He directly burned his remaining blood essence, using blood essence as fuel to activate a heretical secret technique and connect to the false core in his Dantian.

He was going to completely end this battle at the cost of burning his false core.

A surging momentum rose again. You Feng spread his arms, tearing his upper body clothes to shreds, revealing a terrifying body covered in bloodstains.

"I want... you to die!"

You Feng gritted his teeth and roared at Chen Yuan.

Immediately afterwards, streams of blood completely enveloped him, turning him into a blood man. Behind him, a fierce blood-colored phantom solidified.

Gradually merging with him.

Blood Transformation Technique!

Instantly returning to his peak, although only for ten breaths, that was enough!

Enough for him to kill Chen Yuan.

The fierce and terrifying blood man transformed into several feet tall, took a step, and with a flash of blood light, charged towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan grinned, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Coincidentally, he had also comprehended a new move in the previous battle, and now he could completely unleash it.

His body shook, and his blood essence surged.

Having consumed the Blood Bodhi earlier, his blood essence had recovered for the most part. At this moment, there was still a Tiger Leopard Thunderous Roar. In the void, the Dragon Soul circled,

constantly flashing around Chen Yuan.

He raised his hand, formed a hand seal, and drew out the blood essence from within his body, actually filling the Dragon Soul. At this moment,

the illusory Dragon Soul gradually solidified.

Dragon Soul as the guide, blood essence as the body.

This time, he was going to truly transform blood essence into a great dragon.

In just a blink of an eye, the Dragon Soul in the void shrank to ten feet in size, filled with blood essence, like a real dragon.

Holding the Emperor Slaughter Blade in his hand, Chen Yuan slashed with his blade.

The next moment.

The Evil Dragon, woven with blood and black, howled out.

Colliding with the huge blood man of several feet in size.

In an instant, it was as if the entire world had frozen. Everyone was frozen in place, watching this shocking blow. The two sides stalemated for about ten breaths.

"Boom!"

A terrifying sound, far exceeding the previous one, exploded, and a heat wave swept through the void.

A figure fell from the void like a kite with a broken string....
