Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

Sword light startled the swan goose, flashing past in an instant, like the fleeting brilliance of a night-blooming cereus; though it reached the utmost splendor, it vanished in a flash, yet that moment's light and heat were already dazzling enough, and what proved as ephemeral as the night-blooming cereus was not only the sword light, but also the lives of Qi Yingyao and the other.

With a swing of his sword, the Purple Spirit Imperial Sword collapsed instantly, and Yu Zhangsheng's already tottering body vomited mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood; his ashen face was dull and dusty, his already weak breath like a forced gasp that, once propped up, slumped down again in exhaustion.

"Overestimating your capabilities, don't you understand the principle that a starved mule is bigger than a horse? Just killed two Chi Huo Sect disciples, now two Ba Huang Sect disciples come — endless, really thinking anyone can come step on me, Yu Zhangsheng!"

Yu Zhangsheng muttered in a low voice, his expression fierce; after exhaling deeply, he propped up his tottering body with one hand, his breath growing long and steady, his expression vigilant as he looked around, and said lightly: "Since you've come, you've watched enough; why not come out and meet me in person? Hiding and shrinking back, what meaning is there?"

As his words fell, the surroundings abruptly fell silent, only the wind stirring the grass, drifting lightly past.

Three minutes later, Yu Zhangsheng let out a long breath of turbid Qi; the breath he had been forcibly propping up suddenly slackened, and he slumped down, muttering in a low voice, a look of doubtful surprise appearing on his face.

"Seems I overthought it... the plan now is to hurry and find a quiet place to heal; the injuries are getting heavier and heavier..."

Yu Zhangsheng smiled bitterly, a trace of resentment showing in his eyes.

"Damn Huangpu Dongming, if there's a next time, I'll definitely make you pay blood debt with blood!"

As he spoke, he moved forward quietly, carefully and cautiously; the vigilance in his expression reached its peak; from whatever angle one looked, the current Yu Zhangsheng was indeed heavily injured, crawling with difficulty.

"Looks like you really are heavily injured and dying; since that's the case, to avoid letting others get a bargain, why not stay here and fulfill us?"

A voice carrying killing intent within indifference rang out; Yu Zhangsheng abruptly raised his head, his expression changing drastically; on the road ahead, at some unknown time, two figures had quietly appeared, both looking at Yu Zhangsheng with faces full of smiling mockery.

These two figures were both youthful in appearance; one wore a red embroidered phoenix long robe, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his features handsome and refined, a unique charm in his every glance and smile, red lips lightly pursed; though a man, he carried a fiery, spicy air, his voice sharp and clear.

It was precisely this trip's Chi Huo Sect number one, Ji Chiyan!

And the person beside Ji Chiyan, Yu Zhangsheng likewise had an impression of; his stature was burly, half-sleeved yellow robes unable to fully cover his frame, his bared chest and belly enough to reveal muscles bursting with explosive power, blood vessels pulsing powerfully within, his Qi and blood force thick and dense, his face full of rugged flesh; merely standing there, he was as thick and solid as a mountain peak, giving a sense of steadiness.

Ba Huang Sect number one — Fu Lu! "Kid, I originally didn't want to make things hard for you, but since you killed my two most beloved junior brothers, then blood debt must be repaid with blood; this grudge, there's no way around it."

Fu Lu spoke in a buzzing voice, his tone deep and heavy, killing intent gathering and ready to unleash.

"You two..." Yu Zhangsheng's face looked ugly; he exhaled deeply, strenuously suppressing the panic in his eyes, and said sternly: "Since you know who I am, just the two of you want to keep me here — isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

Yu Zhangsheng's eyes narrowed: "I'm unwilling to make a move; right now I am indeed heavily injured, but forcibly taking one or two of you with me is still no problem; if you attack me, the consequences — you'd better think clearly."

His words were not heavy, but falling into Fu Lu and Ji Chiyan's ears, they stunned both for a moment, then they looked at each other and laughed heartily.

"Stop putting on airs; if you truly still had spare strength, you wouldn't be talking to us like this right now; that sword strike just now, though it was your full-power eruption, at most only reached Golden Core Late Stage."

"Your current state is even worse than before; the two of us Golden Core Peak joining forces — if you're smart, you'll obediently kneel and beg me; perhaps I'll be greatly merciful and spare your life?"

Ji Chiyan laughed lightly, his words full of contempt, looking at Fu Lu: "Brother Fu, let's attack together; this guy still has some threat, but he's nothing to fear; the two of us combined, thunderous means to suppress will do."

"As for his head, we can just take it to the Qingzhou Third Prince to exchange for the bounty; that's a substantial fortune; how about splitting everything evenly?"

Ji Chiyan licked his lips, ignoring Yu Zhangsheng's livid face; in a few words, he very easily settled all the aftermath arrangements.

It seemed in his eyes, Yu Zhangsheng was no different from a dead man.

"I think it's fine."

Fu Lu nodded; as his words fell, his body suddenly swelled, muscles exploding all over, his Qi and blood condensing into a blood shadow behind him; his foot stomped fiercely on the ground, and in an instant soil and stone exploded, a huge deep pit emerging; borrowing that violent recoil force, Fu Lu's body instantly shot out like lightning, crashing fiercely toward Yu Zhangsheng! "Hum hum hum!!"

The speed was so fast even afterimages couldn't be seen clearly; only the sound of space tearing could be heard, Qi and blood surging like a torrent. And Fu Lu's body, like a god or demon, Golden Core Peak aura, like a long rainbow across the sky!

"Red Fire Abyss Dragon!"

Ji Chiyan moved as well; in a flash cold light flickered in his eyes, as he formed hand seals, scorching red flames emitting astonishing high temperatures fell from the sky, converging into nine lifelike fire abyss dragons; roaring, they coiled around each other, all blasting toward Yu Zhangsheng! Tear!! Flames swept, space twisted; though the two's words were utterly contemptuous of Yu Zhangsheng, their attacks left no residue — both struck with twelve parts of force, fully showing how seriously they took Yu Zhangsheng.

"Give me, die!"

Fu Lu roared in anger, blue veins bulging on his forehead, his fist shrouded in blood shadows; with the Fire Abyss Dragon lending its might beside him, a single punch descended, shaking heaven and earth, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Yu Zhangsheng gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, his face knotting into a ball; the next moment, fist and fire dragons covered his body; in an instant, a miserable shriek came from Yu Zhangsheng's mouth, his body trembling as he flew backward, then crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Zhangsheng coughed weakly, his whole body charred, one eye struggling open, quietly observing the surroundings; his injury-riddled body bled unceasingly, looking utterly miserable.

"So unable to withstand a blow?" Fu Lu withdrew his fist, looking at Yu Zhangsheng who had flown back and fallen; after a slight start, his heart completely settled, and he said lightly: "Looks like it really is the end of a spent force; he couldn't even withstand a single punch."

Ji Chiyan laughed lightly: "I said he was just putting on a show; not to mention his current heavy injuries, even at his peak, with the two of us joining forces, what is there to fear?"

"Spoken correctly." Fu Lu heard this, nodded in approval, a trace of leisure unconsciously appearing on his face; he lowered his head to look at Yu Zhangsheng sprawled on the ground, his gaze fierce, and suddenly kicked out! Boom!

The sound of a sonic boom resounded; one kick carried lightning, like thunder ten thousand jun, viciously kicking toward Yu Zhangsheng, yet in the other's astonished, incredulous eyes, in a split second, Yu Zhangsheng didn't even raise his head, just reached out and accurately grabbed his ankle.

"What?!"

Fu Lu was shocked, eyes widening; the next second a wave of intense pain transmitted from his ankle, wave after wave striking his mind.

"Crack crack..." Yu Zhangsheng raised his head, slowly climbing up from the ground, grinning at Fu Lu; the hand gripping his ankle slowly tightened, the sound of bones cracking continuously ringing out; in the other's incredulous eyes, his face turned ruthless, his hand suddenly exerting force, viciously twisting! "Ah ah ah ah!!"

Screams accompanied large drops of sweat falling from Fu Lu's forehead; his ankle, under Yu Zhangsheng's vicious twist, was forcibly wrenched 180 degrees at a bizarre angle, completely snapped.

"Physical body not bad, but merely just so."

Yu Zhangsheng spoke lightly; everything happened in the time of a spark off flint; a soaring aura once again erupted without concealment, brilliant golden light transforming into a cloak draped over his shoulders, Qi and blood transforming into a torrent circulating through his whole body, a vast intent surging like an abyss or sea, Qi and blood converging, forming a massive Qi-and-blood flower emerging behind him.

This flower was huge, occupying the entire field of vision; its blooming was resplendent; as it slowly unfurled, threads of Qi and blood connected from within to Yu Zhangsheng, setting off his body as ever more godlike; terrifying physical power flowed through his four limbs and hundred bones, transforming into rolling thunderous sound, shaking the mind.

"This is..."

Ji Chiyan's pupils abruptly contracted, looking at Yu Zhangsheng slowly standing up; the shock in his heart transformed into terrifying waves battering his mind, to the point he couldn't help but let out a sharp scream:

"Fleshly Earth Flower, so massive... you fundamentally have no injuries at all!"

A baseless terror infinitely spread in Ji Chiyan's heart at this moment.

Yu Zhangsheng smiled faintly, his face seeming somewhat regretful: "Originally wanted to see if I could flush out a few more people; looks like there really are only you two; though it's a few less, it's still enough."

So calmly, Yu Zhangsheng glanced at the two panicked ones; Fu Lu was streaming cold sweat, the shock and terror in his mind even greater than Ji Chiyan's.

"His physical body... almost transcending into sainthood! With such a terrifying physical body, how could the Qingzhou Third Prince possibly have heavily injured him?! He's playing pig to eat tiger!"

A thought reached here, Fu Lu abruptly gritted his teeth; the next moment, giant force transmitted from his ankle, yet he saw Yu Zhangsheng's arm suddenly swing, dragging Fu Lu's body along and fiercely smashing it toward the ground! Boom!

Soil and stone exploded open, a huge deep pit emerged, and Fu Lu's pained muffled groan transmitted; after this smash, even with his flesh body, he could not help but bleed from the seven orifices, dizzy and blurred, yet he also borrowed this opportunity, his other foot suddenly kicking toward Yu Zhangsheng's beast head, struggling free, opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Interesting."

Yu Zhangsheng shook his arm; at this moment, the situation reversed, looking at the two people's expressions that were tense with a trace of terror, he regretfully shook his head: "It seems you are only fierce in words after all."

Finished speaking, Yu Zhangsheng lightly snapped his fingers; in an instant Chilian Yulong and the Profound Turtle emerged left and right, shocking the heavens, the surrounding space suddenly condensed, the Profound Turtle lowly roared, Chilian Yulong roared, a wave of invisible fluctuations enveloped the surrounding space within.

"Chi Lian Seal Space!"

"Water Country Abyss!"

Red light flowed like magma across heaven and earth, sealing shut the surroundings; water waves covered above and below like a lid, bringing endless water pressure pouring down, sealing power, at this moment layer upon layer erupted.

"Now, I can properly accompany you to play."

Yu Zhangsheng lightly laughed, walking slowly toward the two; every step, his flesh body emitted a rumbling sound, momentum even greater.

Fu Lu and Ji Chiyan looked at each other, suppressing the terror in their hearts; although their complexions were ugly, they were still fairly calm.

"Although there was some surprise, but... your ending still cannot escape a death!"

Ji Chiyan lowly roared, finger pointing at heaven one slash; in an instant boundless fire emerged, twisting and flashing into blue flames, and under Ji Chiyan's guidance, transforming into a heaven-piercing thorough blue flame heaven blade, emitting terrifying heat, carrying layer upon layer of heat waves, suddenly slamming heavily toward Yu Zhangsheng! "Chi Huo Burning Heaven Blade!"

The flame heaven blade broke the sky, a hundred zhang long, waving it flames shot in all directions, missing it turned into a raging fire sea burning, as far as vision reached, firelight swayed, as if truly there was an intent to burn heaven.

"Chilian Yulong."

Yu Zhangsheng's complexion unchanged, lightly called out once; Chilian Yulong instantly understood, emitted a burst of dragon chant sound, clusters of sha fire emerged, encircling and likewise transforming into a flame heaven blade, aiming at this Chi Huo Burning Heaven Blade and heavily blasting!

Boom!

Heaven blade collapsed, fire sea rampaged, sha fire heaven blade inch by inch shattered, while the Chi Huo Burning Heaven Blade, although barely maintaining form, also teetered on the verge of collapse; following Chilian Yulong's fierce sweep, it also collapsed and shattered, revealing the ugly-complexioned Ji Chiyan behind.

"Rumors say Chi Huo Sect's flame divine abilities are quite formidable; looking like this, it seems also not much."

Yu Zhangsheng provocatively smiled; Ji Chiyan gritted teeth and pursed lips, blue veins on forehead explosively bulging, deeply inhaled a breath, coldly hummed, large sleeve one swing; in an instant a thick dark cloud floated up, enveloping the sky.

"Falling Fire Flowing Clouds!"

Sky darkened, surrounding temperature suddenly rose; scorched void dark clouds enveloped, flashing within were not thunder, but streak after streak of firelight tearing space! Firelight dark red, next moment, like raindrops, resoundingly fell from within, dense and numerous, ragingly burning covering heaven and earth! In an instant great fire poured down!

"Huan Hai Wu Ya!" x2 Yu Zhangsheng raised head, directly stared at this sky-full falling fire, cast spell pinching hand seal, coordinating with Profound Turtle simultaneously striking out this divine ability; two boundless Huan Hai water waves surged, instantly rising toward heaven, enveloping the sky, submerging the flowing clouds!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Fire clouds fell, fire sea and Huan Hai collided, endless water vapor rose, amidst a hazy expanse, Fu Lu also recovered, angrily roared, whole body qi and blood surging, breaking through obstacles, heavily punching down toward Yu Zhangsheng! "Ba Huang Fist!"

Yu Zhangsheng raised eyebrow, eyes' sharp light flashed, did not retreat, meeting its fist head, likewise one fist blasted out; in an instant stone-shattering heaven-startling, sound waves surged eight directions, residual might shook the void.

Boom!

Mountain rocks trembled, earth forest cracked; next moment, yet saw Fu Lu's figure, at even faster speed flying backward, like a broken-string kite, mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood spraying the void. (Chapter End)
