Chapter 657: Restraint

“How could this happen… why is this the case…”

As the blood mist was completely absorbed into his body, Guo Chen’s face turned extremely grim. This sudden change felt like a slap in the face. His Blood Demon Body seemed to be suppressed by something.

“He who does much evil will eventually destroy himself. Your Blood Demon Body clearly isn’t something good. Today, I’ll take your life!”

Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy. The True Dragon Art contained a masculine energy that was naturally effective against such a yin-soft Blood Demon Body. Even he hadn’t expected the suppression to be so pronounced.

The oppressive aura dropped instantly. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this opportunity, he wouldn’t deserve to stand there at all.

He unleashed nearly every technique he had, skillfully employing the Annihilation Heaven Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm. It was hard to imagine that he had only just begun learning these ancient martial arts.

Bang!

The attack landed squarely on Guo Chen. Xiao Yufan’s mocking smile widened. Just now, weren’t you acting all high and mighty? Now why can’t you even let out a fart? No matter what hidden techniques the Hidden Guo family had, they couldn’t change this outcome today.

The fierce wind howled as every move Xiao Yufan made carried deadly intent. Guo Chen clearly wouldn’t let him go, so how could he possibly allow a tiger to return to the mountains?

As for whether killing Guo Chen would turn the Hidden Guo family into a rabid dog, that was beyond his concern. Even if the Hidden Guo family became a mad dog, they wouldn’t dare bite him, would they? Wasn’t his grandfather and the entire Heaven Alliance just thin air?

Suppressed by the Blood Demon Body, Guo Chen became frenzied. Why was this guy so lucky? He was unwilling to accept this. He had done all this just for revenge. Was he really going to be beaten down like this?

“How is this possible? Why is it like this…”

As the blood mist completely retracted into his body, Guo Chen’s expression turned extremely grim. This sudden change was like a harsh slap to his face, as if his Blood Demon form had been suppressed by something.

“Evil deeds will inevitably lead to self-destruction. It’s clear that your Blood Demon form is nothing good. Today, I will take your life!”

Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, but then a hint of wild joy appeared on his face. The Dragon Control Technique possessed a strong yang energy, which was bound to counter the yin nature of the Blood Demon form. However, even he hadn’t expected the suppression to be so pronounced.

The oppressive aura instantly diminished. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this opportunity, he wouldn’t even deserve to stand here.

He unleashed almost every move he had, and the Annihilation Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm in his hands were gradually mastered to perfection. It was hard to imagine that he had only just begun to learn these two ancient martial arts techniques.

Boom!

The attack landed squarely on Guo Chen’s body, and the cold smile on Xiao Yufan’s lips widened. Weren’t you just showing off earlier? Why are you silent now? No matter what tricks the hidden Guo family has up their sleeves, today, your fate is sealed.

The fierce winds howled, and every move Xiao Yufan made was filled with killing intent. It was clear that Guo Chen wouldn’t let him off, so how could he possibly let the tiger return to the mountain?

As for whether killing Guo Chen would turn the hidden Guo family into a rabid dog, that was beyond his control. Even if the hidden Guo family did become a rabid dog, they wouldn’t dare bite him. After all, his grandfather and the entire Tian Alliance weren’t just for show.

The Blood Demon form was completely suppressed, and Guo Chen was on the verge of madness. Why was this guy so lucky? He couldn’t accept it. He had done so much just to seek revenge, and now he was being beaten down?

No, Guo Chen absolutely couldn’t allow himself to fail. If he failed this time, it wouldn’t just be a heavy blow to the hidden Guo family—it would also leave a psychological scar that would hinder his future progress toward the Xiantian realm and beyond.

In an instant, Guo Chen made his decision. Enduring the intense pain that came after using the Blood Demon form, he began to solidify his aura once more…

Then, from somewhere, Guo Chen pulled out a blood-red pill. Under Xiao Yufan’s furrowed brow, he placed it in his mouth. This scene caught the attention of many, and it was clear that he was forcibly boosting his strength.

“Master, this kid from the hidden Guo family seems a bit strange. Shouldn’t we stop him? If something happens to the young master, the damage could be severe.”

“Let’s wait and see. This is likely his final trump card. If Yufan can withstand it, it will be a good experience for him. Besides, I have a feeling that there’s a powerful figure behind this kid from the hidden Guo family.”

Elder Situ’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was certainly worried about Xiao Yufan, but he didn’t intervene immediately. He wanted to see how much potential Xiao Yufan could unleash under such circumstances, which would also prepare him for his future journey into the Xiantian realm.

Heavy Sword Wu Feng didn’t say anything more. Since the elder wasn’t worried, he must have already had a plan. With that in mind, his gaze returned to the two figures on the stage.

As the blood-red pill slid down Guo Chen’s throat, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the latter’s aura and strength surge dramatically. This boost was even more pronounced than the Blood Demon form.

In this state, Guo Chen was undoubtedly at his strongest, even more formidable than before the Blood Demon form had been suppressed.

“Fight or retreat?”

A big question mark appeared in Xiao Yufan’s mind once again. The blood-red pill had made Guo Chen even more sinister, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on him like a predator eyeing its prey.

“I thought I wouldn’t need to do this to kill you, but I didn’t expect you to be so lucky.”

Guo Chen’s face twisted with frustration. He had nearly sacrificed his life, even resorting to using forbidden techniques, to create the Blood Demon form. Yet, Xiao Yufan had something that countered it. How could he not hate him?

This pill was his only lifeline. If the Blood Demon form hadn’t been suppressed, the combined boost from both would have given him the strength to fight even a Xiantian realm expert. But the damn suppression had prevented him from fully utilizing his power.

Even so, he could still strip Xiao Yufan of a layer of skin, and perhaps even kill him…

“I’ll always be this lucky. After the Blood Demon form and the pill wear off, what right will you have to stand here and speak? You’re not dead yet, so how could I possibly go before you?”

Xiao Yufan grinned. At this moment, psychological warfare was crucial. If he showed even a hint of fear, Guo Chen would surely notice, and that wouldn’t be good for him.

As his words fell, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the air grow colder. Under Guo Chen’s rapidly changing hand seals, he slowly realized…

This guy had never used any ancient martial arts technique from the start. Throughout the entire fight, it had been the blood-red hand seals that had clashed with the Annihilation Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm. And from the fluctuations in the aura, it seemed he was preparing to unleash an ancient martial arts technique.

Moreover, the intensity of this technique was far greater than when Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong had used their ancient martial arts. In other words, Guo Chen’s attack was not to be underestimated.

Xiao Yufan had initially planned to attack at this moment, but Guo Chen was already on guard, leaving no openings. Moments later, the unique aura of an ancient martial arts technique became increasingly apparent.

“Asura Palm!”

Sure enough, as the aura reached its peak, Guo Chen’s voice, like that of an Asura from hell, slowly spread. The crimson hand seals, combined with his almost blood-red body, created a visually striking impact.

Xiao Yufan’s eyelids twitched violently. He hadn’t even noticed how the Asura Palm had formed, but one thing was clear—this technique was far superior to the Annihilation Seal.

If he were hit by the Asura Palm, Xiao Yufan believed he would quickly lose his fighting ability. Not only was the Asura Palm an extremely domineering ancient martial arts technique, but the blood-red energy that entered the body would also be extremely troublesome!

Instinctively, he chose to dodge, but the crimson hand seals seemed to block all his escape routes. Just as Xiao Yufan was at a loss for what to do, his heart suddenly raced…

Because the Dragon Control Technique, which rarely showed any changes, began to shift subtly. A series of obscure hand seals slowly appeared in his consciousness…

The Dragon Control Technique actually contained an ancient martial arts technique!!!

In an instant, Guo Chen made his decision. Enduring the intense pain following the use of the Blood Demon Body, his aura gradually solidified again…

Then, from somewhere unknown, Guo Chen pulled out a blood-red pill and placed it in his mouth as Xiao Yufan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. This action drew the attention of many spectators. Without needing to think, everyone knew he was trying to forcibly boost his power.

“Master, this kid from the Hidden Guo family is acting suspiciously. Are we sure we shouldn’t stop him? If something happens to Young Master, it could be very harmful to him!”

“Let’s watch for now. This should be his last resort. If Yufan can withstand this, it will be good for him. Plus, I have a feeling there’s a powerful figure behind this kid from the Hidden Guo family!”

“How could this be, why is it like this…”

As the blood mist completely condensed back into his body, Guo Chen’s expression turned extremely grim. This sudden change felt like a harsh slap to his face, as if his Blood Demon form had been suppressed by something.

“Evil deeds will always lead to self-destruction. It’s clear that your Blood Demon form is nothing good. Today, I will take your life!”

Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, but then a wild joy spread across his face. The Dragon Control Technique, with its yang energy, was bound to counter the yin nature of the Blood Demon form. However, even he hadn’t expected the suppression to be so pronounced.

The pressure of the aura instantly dropped. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this opportunity, he might as well not be standing here.

He unleashed almost all the moves he could muster. The Annihilation Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm were slowly mastered in his hands. It was hard to imagine that he had only just begun to learn these ancient martial arts.

Bang!

The attacks landed solidly on Guo Chen’s body. A cold smile slowly spread across Xiao Yufan’s lips. Weren’t you just showing off earlier? Why are you silent now? No matter what tricks the hidden Guo family has, today won’t change your fate.

The fierce wind howled, and every move Xiao Yufan made was filled with killing intent. Guo Chen clearly wouldn’t let him go, so how could Xiao Yufan possibly let the tiger return to the mountains?

As for whether killing Guo Chen would turn the hidden Guo family into a rabid dog, that was beyond his control. Even if the hidden Guo family did become a rabid dog, they probably wouldn’t dare to bite him. After all, were his grandfather and the entire Tian Alliance just air?

The Blood Demon form was completely suppressed, and Guo Chen was going mad. Why was this guy so lucky? He was utterly unwilling. He had done so much just to seek revenge, and now he was being beaten down?

No, Guo Chen absolutely could not allow himself to fail. If he failed this time, it would not only be a huge blow to the hidden Guo family, but it would also leave a psychological shadow on his future steps into the innate realm and beyond.

In an instant, Guo Chen made his decision. Enduring the intense pain after using the Blood Demon form, the aura within his body began to solidify once more…

Then, from somewhere, Guo Chen pulled out a blood-red pill. Under Xiao Yufan’s slightly furrowed brow, he placed it in his mouth. This scene caught the attention of many. It was clear that this guy was forcibly boosting his strength.

“Master, this kid from the hidden Guo family seems a bit strange. Are we sure we shouldn’t stop him? If something happens to the young master, the damage could be severe.”

“Wait and see. This should be his final trump card. If Yufan can withstand it, it will be a good thing for him. Moreover, I have a feeling that there’s a powerful figure behind this kid from the hidden Guo family.”

Old Master Situ’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was certainly worried about Xiao Yufan, but he didn’t intervene immediately. He wanted to see how much potential Xiao Yufan could unleash under such circumstances, as a preparation for his future steps into the innate realm.

Heavy Sword Wu Feng didn’t say anything more. Since the old master wasn’t worried, he must have already had a plan. With that thought, his gaze returned to the two figures on the stage.

As the blood-red pill slid down Guo Chen’s throat, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the latter’s aura and strength surge dramatically. This boost was even more pronounced than the Blood Demon form.

In this state, Guo Chen was undoubtedly at his strongest, even more formidable than when he had first unleashed the Blood Demon form before it was suppressed…

“Fight or retreat?”

A big question mark appeared once more in Xiao Yufan’s consciousness. The blood-red pill made Guo Chen seem even more sinister. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Xiao Yufan, as if he were prey.

“I thought you would die without me having to do this, but I didn’t expect you to be so lucky.”

Guo Chen’s face twisted with rage. He was utterly unwilling. He had nearly sacrificed his life, even resorting to testing poisons on himself, just to create the Blood Demon form. Yet, Xiao Yufan had something that countered him. How could he not hate?

This pill was his only lifeline. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Blood Demon form, combining the two boosts would have given him the strength to fight a super expert at the innate realm. But the damn suppression meant he couldn’t fully unleash his power.

Even so, it was more than enough to strip Xiao Yufan of a layer of skin, and possibly even kill him…

“I’ll always be this lucky. After the Blood Demon form and the pill’s effects wear off, what right will you have to stand here and speak? You’re not dead yet, so how could I possibly go before you?”

Xiao Yufan grinned. Psychological warfare was crucial at this moment. If he showed even a hint of fear, Guo Chen would surely notice, and that wouldn’t be good for him.

As his words fell, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the air grow colder. Under Guo Chen’s rapidly changing hand seals, he slowly realized…

This guy had never used any ancient martial arts. From start to finish, what had been clashing with the Annihilation Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm were those blood-red hand seals. And from the fluctuations in the aura, it seemed Guo Chen was preparing to unleash an ancient martial art.

Moreover, the scale of this was far greater than when Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong had used their ancient martial arts. In other words, Guo Chen’s attack was not to be underestimated!

Xiao Yufan had initially planned to attack at this moment, but Guo Chen was clearly on guard, leaving no openings. Moments later, the unique aura fluctuations of an ancient martial art became increasingly apparent.

“Bloody Palm!”

Sure enough, as the aura reached its peak, Guo Chen’s voice, like a demon from hell, slowly spread. The crimson hand seals, combined with his almost blood-red body, created a visually striking impact.

Xiao Yufan’s eyes twitched violently. He hadn’t even noticed how the Bloody Palm had formed, but one thing was clear: this Bloody Palm was on a completely different level from the Annihilation Seal.

If he were hit by the Bloody Palm, Xiao Yufan believed he would quickly lose his fighting ability. Not only because the Bloody Palm was undoubtedly an extremely domineering ancient martial art, but also because once those blood-red energy currents entered his body, they would be extremely troublesome!

Instinctively, he chose to dodge, but the crimson hand seals seemed to block all his escape routes. Just as Xiao Yufan was at a loss for what to do, his heart suddenly raced…

Because the Dragon Control Technique, for the first time, showed some unusual changes. A series of obscure hand seals slowly appeared in his consciousness…

The Dragon Control Technique actually contained an ancient martial art!!!

Wu Feng, the Heavy Sword Master, didn’t speak further. Since the old master wasn’t worried, he must have already had a plan. Thinking this, he turned his gaze back to the two figures on the arena.

As the blood-red pill slid down Guo Chen’s throat, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the latter’s aura and strength surge significantly. This enhancement was even more noticeable than the Blood Demon Body itself.

In this state, Guo Chen was undoubtedly at his strongest, even more formidable than before he was suppressed while using the Blood Demon Body…

“To fight or retreat?”

A huge question mark reappeared in Xiao Yufan’s mind. The blood-red pill caused Guo Chen to exude an eerie aura once more. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Xiao Yufan, as if marking him as prey.

“I thought I wouldn’t need to do this for you to die, but I didn’t expect you to be so lucky!”

Guo Chen’s face twisted with rage. He had risked his life, even experimenting on himself with poisons, to cultivate the Blood Demon Body. But Xiao Yufan possessed something that suppressed him. How could he not hate this?

“How could this be, why is it like this…”

As the blood mist completely retracted into his body, Guo Chen’s expression turned extremely grim. This sudden change felt like a harsh slap to his face, as if his Blood Demon form was being suppressed by something.

“Evil deeds will always be punished. It’s clear that your Blood Demon form is nothing good. Today, I will take your life!”

Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, but then a look of wild joy spread across his face. The Dragon Control Technique possessed a strong yang energy, which was bound to counter the yin nature of the Blood Demon form. However, even he hadn’t expected the suppression to be so pronounced.

The pressure of the aura instantly dropped. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this opportunity, he might as well not be standing here.

He unleashed almost every move he had. The Annihilation Seal and the Xumi Creation Palm were slowly mastered in his hands. It was hard to imagine that he had only just begun to learn these two ancient martial arts.

Bang!

The attacks landed solidly on Guo Chen’s body. A cold smile spread across Xiao Yufan’s lips. Weren’t you just showing off earlier? Why are you silent now? No matter what tricks the hidden Guo family has, today won’t change your fate.

In an instant, Guo Chen made a decision. Enduring the intense pain from using the Blood Demon form, the aura within him began to solidify once more…

Then, Guo Chen pulled out a blood-red pill from somewhere and, under Xiao Yufan’s furrowed brow, placed it in his mouth. This action caught the attention of many. It was clear that this guy was forcibly boosting his strength.

“Master, this kid from the hidden Guo family seems a bit strange. Shouldn’t we stop him? If something happens to the young master, the damage could be severe.”

“Let’s wait and see. This should be his final trump card. If Yufan can withstand it, it will be a good thing for him. Moreover, I have a feeling that there’s a powerful figure behind this kid from the hidden Guo family.”

Old Master Situ’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was certainly worried about Xiao Yufan, but he didn’t intervene immediately. He wanted to see how much potential Xiao Yufan could unleash under such circumstances, which would also serve as ample preparation for his future steps into the Xiantian realm.

Heavy Sword Wu Feng didn’t say anything more. Since the old master wasn’t worried, he must have already had a plan. With that in mind, his gaze returned to the two figures on the stage.

As the blood-red pill slid down Guo Chen’s throat, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the latter’s aura and strength surge dramatically. This boost was even more pronounced than the Blood Demon form.

He instinctively chose to dodge, but the crimson hand seals seemed to block all his escape routes. Just as Xiao Yufan was at a loss for what to do, his heart suddenly raced…

Because the Dragon Control Technique had unexpectedly undergone a rare change. A series of obscure hand seals slowly appeared in his consciousness…

The Dragon Control Technique actually contained an ancient martial art!!!

Still, even like this, he could make Xiao Yufan pay dearly. He might even kill him…

“I’ll keep being lucky, while you, after the effects of your Blood Demon Body and pill wear off, what qualifications will you have to stand here and talk? Until you’re dead, how can I possibly leave before you?”

Xiao Yufan grinned. At this moment, psychological warfare was extremely important. If he showed even a hint of fear, Guo Chen would surely sense it, which wouldn’t be good for him.

As his words fell, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the air grow colder. It was only as Guo Chen rapidly changed hand seals that he slowly realized…

This guy had apparently never used any ancient martial arts techniques before. From beginning to end, what had fought against the Annihilation Heaven Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm was only that blood-red hand seal. Judging from the fluctuating energy, he was now preparing to unleash an ancient martial technique.

“How is this possible? Why is it like this…”

As the blood mist completely retracted into his body, Guo Chen’s expression turned extremely grim. This sudden change was like a harsh slap to his face, as if his Blood Demon form had been suppressed by something.

“Evil deeds will always lead to self-destruction. It’s clear that your Blood Demon form is nothing good. Today, I will take your life!”

Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, but then a wild joy spread across his face. The Dragon Taming True Art possessed a yang energy that was bound to counter the yin nature of the Blood Demon form. However, even he hadn’t expected the suppression to be so pronounced.

The pressure of the aura instantly dropped. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this opportunity, he might as well not be standing here.

Old Master Situ’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was certainly worried about Xiao Yufan, but he didn’t intervene immediately because he wanted to see how much potential Xiao Yufan could unleash under such circumstances. This would also serve as ample preparation for his future steps into the Xiantian realm.

The heavy sword wielder Wu Feng didn’t say anything more. Since the old master wasn’t worried, he must have already had a plan. With that in mind, his gaze returned to the two figures on the stage.

Moreover, the intensity of this move was far greater than when Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong had used their ancient martial arts. In other words, Guo Chen’s attack was not to be underestimated!

Originally, Xiao Yufan had planned to attack at this moment, but Guo Chen was now fully on guard, leaving no openings. Moments later, the unique aura fluctuations of an ancient martial art became increasingly apparent.

“Netherworld Palm!”

Sure enough, as the aura reached its peak, Guo Chen’s voice, like a demon from hell, slowly spread out. The crimson hand seals, combined with his almost blood-red body, created a visually striking impact.

Xiao Yufan’s eyelids twitched violently. He hadn’t even noticed how the Netherworld Palm had formed, but one thing was clear: this move was far superior to the Annihilation Seal.

If he were hit by the Netherworld Palm, Xiao Yufan believed he would quickly lose his fighting ability. Not only was the Netherworld Palm an extremely domineering ancient martial art, but the blood-red energy that entered the body would also be extremely troublesome!

Instinctively, he chose to dodge, but the crimson hand seals seemed to block all his escape routes. Just as Xiao Yufan was at a loss for what to do, his heart suddenly raced…

Because the Dragon Taming True Art, which rarely showed any changes, began to stir. Obscure hand seals slowly appeared in his consciousness…

The Dragon Taming True Art actually contained an ancient martial art!!!

Xiao Yufan had originally planned to launch an attack at this moment, but could Guo Chen really have no defenses? He revealed no openings at all. Soon after, the unique energy fluctuations of ancient martial arts became increasingly obvious.

“Arhat Palm!”

“How could this be, why is it like this…”

As the blood mist completely retracted into his body, Guo Chen’s expression turned extremely grim. This sudden change was like a harsh slap to his face, as if his Blood Demon form was being suppressed by something.

“Evil deeds will inevitably lead to self-destruction. At first glance, your Blood Demon form is nothing good. Today, I will take your life!”

Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, then a hint of wild joy appeared on his face. The Dragon Taming True Art possessed a yang energy that surely countered the yin nature of the Blood Demon form. However, even he hadn’t expected the suppression to be so pronounced.

The pressure of the aura instantly dropped. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this opportunity, he might as well not be standing here.

Almost all the techniques he could use were unleashed. The Annihilation Seal and the Xumi Creation Palm were slowly mastered in his hands. It was hard to imagine that he had only just begun to learn these two ancient martial arts.

Boom!

The attack landed squarely on Guo Chen’s body. Xiao Yufan’s cold smile widened. Weren’t you just showing off earlier? Why are you silent now? No matter what tricks the hidden Guo family has, today won’t change your fate.

The fierce wind howled, and every move Xiao Yufan made was filled with killing intent. It was clear that Guo Chen wouldn’t let him go, so how could he possibly let the tiger return to the mountain?

As for whether killing Guo Chen would turn the hidden Guo family into a rabid dog, that was beyond his control. Even if the hidden Guo family did become a rabid dog, they wouldn’t dare bite him. Were his grandfather and the entire Tian Alliance just air?

The Blood Demon form was completely suppressed, and Guo Chen was going mad. Why was this guy so lucky? He was utterly unwilling. He had done so much just to seek revenge. Was he really going to be beaten down like this?

No, Guo Chen absolutely couldn’t allow himself to fail. If he failed this time, it would not only be a huge blow to the hidden Guo family, but it would also leave a psychological shadow on his future steps into the Xiantian realm and beyond.

In an instant, Guo Chen made a decision. Enduring the intense pain after using the Blood Demon form, the aura within his body began to solidify once more…

Then, Guo Chen pulled out a blood-red pill from somewhere and, under Xiao Yufan’s furrowed brow, placed it in his mouth. This scene caught the attention of many. It was obvious that this guy was forcibly boosting his strength.

“Master, this kid from the hidden Guo family is acting strange. Shouldn’t we stop him? If something happens to the young master, the damage could be severe.”

“Wait and see. This should be his final trump card. If Yufan can withstand it, it will be a good thing for him. Moreover, I have a feeling that there’s a powerful figure behind this kid from the hidden Guo family.”

Old Master Situ’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was certainly worried about Xiao Yufan, but he didn’t intervene immediately. He wanted to see how much potential Xiao Yufan could unleash under such circumstances, as a preparation for his future steps into the Xiantian realm.

Heavy Sword Wu Feng didn’t say anything more. Since the old master wasn’t worried, he must have a plan. With that in mind, his gaze returned to the two figures on the stage.

As the blood-red pill rolled down Guo Chen’s throat, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the latter’s aura and strength surge dramatically. This boost was even more pronounced than the Blood Demon form.

In this state, Guo Chen was undoubtedly at his strongest, even more formidable than before the Blood Demon form was suppressed…

“Fight or retreat?”

A big question mark appeared in Xiao Yufan’s mind once more. The blood-red pill made Guo Chen seem even more sinister. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Xiao Yufan, as if he had become his prey.

“I thought you would die without me having to do this, but I didn’t expect you to be so lucky.”

Guo Chen’s face twisted with rage. He was unwilling. He had nearly sacrificed his life, even risking his body to create the Blood Demon form, yet Xiao Yufan had something that countered him. How could he not hate him?

This pill was his only lifeline. If the Blood Demon form hadn’t been suppressed, the combined boosts would have given him the strength to fight a Xiantian realm super expert. But the damn suppression prevented him from fully utilizing his power.

Even so, it was more than enough to strip a layer of skin off Xiao Yufan, and possibly even kill him…

“I will always be this lucky. After the Blood Demon form and the pill’s effects wear off, what right will you have to stand here and speak? You’re not dead yet, how could I possibly go before you?”

Xiao Yufan grinned. Psychological warfare was crucial at this moment. If he showed even a hint of fear, Guo Chen would surely notice, and that wouldn’t be good for him.

As his words fell, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the air grow colder. Under Guo Chen’s rapidly changing hand seals, he slowly realized…

This guy had never used any ancient martial arts. From start to finish, what had been clashing with the Annihilation Seal and the Xumi Creation Palm were those blood-red hand seals. Judging from the aura fluctuations, he was preparing to use an ancient martial art.

Moreover, the scale of this was far greater than when Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong had used their ancient martial arts. In other words, Guo Chen’s attack was not to be underestimated!

Xiao Yufan had initially planned to attack at this moment, but Guo Chen was clearly on guard, leaving no openings. Moments later, the unique aura fluctuations of an ancient martial art became increasingly apparent.

“Asura Palm!”

Sure enough, as the aura reached its peak, Guo Chen’s voice, like that of an Asura from hell, slowly spread. The crimson hand seals, combined with his almost blood-red body, created a visually striking impact.

Xiao Yufan’s eye twitched violently. He hadn’t even noticed how the Asura Palm had formed, but one thing was clear: the Asura Palm was on a completely different level from the Annihilation Seal.

If he were hit by the Asura Palm, Xiao Yufan believed he would quickly lose his fighting ability. Not only was the Asura Palm an extremely domineering ancient martial art, but the blood-red energy, once it entered his body, would also be a major nuisance!

Instinctively, he chose to dodge, but the crimson hand seals seemed to block all his escape routes. Just as Xiao Yufan was at a loss for what to do, his heart suddenly raced…

Because the Dragon Taming True Art had unexpectedly undergone a rare change. A series of obscure hand seals slowly appeared in his consciousness…

The Dragon Taming True Art actually contained an ancient martial art!!!

Xiao Yufan’s eye twitched violently. He hadn’t even noticed how the Arhat Palm had formed, but one thing was very clear: the Arhat Palm was far superior to the Annihilation Heaven Seal.

“How could this be, why is it like this…”

As the blood mist completely retracted into his body, Guo Chen’s expression turned extremely grim. This sudden change felt like a harsh slap to his face, as if his Blood Demon form had been suppressed by something.

“Evil deeds will always lead to self-destruction. It’s clear that your Blood Demon form is nothing good. Today, I will take your life!”

Xiao Yufan was momentarily stunned, but then a hint of wild joy appeared on his face. The Dragon Control Technique possessed a strong yang energy, which was bound to counter the yin nature of the Blood Demon form. However, even he hadn’t expected the suppression to be so pronounced.

The pressure of the aura instantly diminished. If Xiao Yufan didn’t seize this opportunity, he might as well not be standing here.

He unleashed almost all the techniques at his disposal. The Annihilation Seal and the Xumi Creation Palm were slowly mastered in his hands. It was hard to imagine that he had only just begun to learn these two ancient martial arts.

Boom!

The attack landed solidly on Guo Chen’s body. Xiao Yufan’s cold smile gradually widened. Weren’t you just showing off earlier? Why are you silent now? No matter what tricks the Hidden Guo Family has up their sleeves, today won’t change your fate.

The fierce wind howled, and every move Xiao Yufan made was filled with killing intent. It was clear that Guo Chen wouldn’t let him go, so how could he possibly let the tiger return to the mountain?

As for whether killing Guo Chen would turn the Hidden Guo Family into a pack of mad dogs, that was beyond his control. Even if they did become mad dogs, they probably wouldn’t dare to bite him. After all, his grandfather and the entire Tian Alliance weren’t just for show.

The Blood Demon form was completely suppressed, and Guo Chen was on the verge of madness. Why was this guy so lucky? He was utterly unwilling to accept this. He had done so much just to seek revenge, and now he was being beaten down?

No, Guo Chen absolutely couldn’t allow himself to fail. If he lost this time, it wouldn’t just be a huge blow to the Hidden Guo Family, but it would also leave a psychological scar that could hinder his future progress into the Xiantian realm and beyond.

In an instant, Guo Chen made his decision. Enduring the intense pain from using the Blood Demon form, his aura began to solidify once again…

Then, from somewhere, Guo Chen pulled out a blood-red pill. Under Xiao Yufan’s furrowed brow, he placed it in his mouth. This action caught the attention of many. It was clear that he was forcibly boosting his strength.

“Master, this kid from the Hidden Guo Family seems a bit strange. Shouldn’t we stop him? If something happens to the young master, the damage could be severe.”

“Let’s wait and see. This should be his final trump card. If Yufan can withstand it, it will be a good experience for him. Besides, I have a feeling that there’s a powerful figure behind this kid from the Hidden Guo Family.”

Old Master Situ’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was certainly worried about Xiao Yufan, but he didn’t intervene immediately. He wanted to see how much potential Xiao Yufan could unleash under such pressure, which would also prepare him for his future journey into the Xiantian realm.

Heavy Sword Wu Feng didn’t say anything more. Since the old master wasn’t worried, he must have a plan. With that thought, his gaze returned to the two figures on the stage.

As the blood-red pill slid down Guo Chen’s throat, Xiao Yufan clearly felt that the latter’s aura and strength had surged significantly. This boost was even more pronounced than the Blood Demon form.

In this state, Guo Chen was undoubtedly at his strongest, even more formidable than when he had first unleashed the Blood Demon form before it was suppressed…

“Fight or retreat?”

A big question mark appeared in Xiao Yufan’s mind once again. The blood-red pill had made Guo Chen even more sinister. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Xiao Yufan, as if he were his prey.

“I thought I wouldn’t need to do this to kill you, but I didn’t expect you to be so lucky.”

Guo Chen’s face twisted with rage. He was utterly unwilling. He had nearly sacrificed his life, even risking his body to create the Blood Demon form, yet Xiao Yufan had something that countered him. How could he not hate him?

This pill was his only lifeline. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Blood Demon form, the combined boosts would have given him the strength to fight against a Xiantian realm expert. But the damn suppression prevented him from fully utilizing his power.

Even so, he could still strip Xiao Yufan of a layer of skin, and perhaps even kill him…

“I will always be this lucky. After the Blood Demon form and the pill wear off, what right will you have to stand here and speak? You’re not dead yet, so how could I possibly go before you?”

Xiao Yufan grinned. At this moment, psychological warfare was crucial. If he showed even a hint of fear, Guo Chen would surely notice, and that wouldn’t be good for him.

As his words fell, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the air grow colder. Under Guo Chen’s rapidly changing hand seals, he slowly realized…

This guy had never used any ancient martial arts techniques. From start to finish, what had been clashing with the Annihilation Seal and the Xumi Creation Palm were those blood-red hand seals. And from the fluctuations in the aura, it seemed he was preparing to unleash an ancient martial art.

Moreover, the intensity of this technique was far greater than when Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong had used their ancient martial arts. In other words, Guo Chen’s attack was not to be underestimated.

Xiao Yufan had initially planned to attack at this moment, but Guo Chen was already on guard, leaving no openings. Moments later, the unique aura of an ancient martial art became increasingly apparent.

“Asura Palm!”

Sure enough, as the aura reached its peak, Guo Chen’s voice, like that of an Asura from hell, slowly spread. The crimson hand seal, combined with his almost blood-red body, created a visually striking impact.

Xiao Yufan’s eyelids twitched violently. He hadn’t even noticed how the Asura Palm had formed, but one thing was clear: this technique was far superior to the Annihilation Seal.

If he were hit by the Asura Palm, Xiao Yufan believed he would quickly lose his combat ability. Not only was the Asura Palm an extremely domineering ancient martial art, but the blood-red energy that entered the body would also be extremely troublesome.

Instinctively, he chose to dodge, but the crimson hand seal seemed to block all his escape routes. Just as Xiao Yufan was at a loss for what to do, his heart suddenly raced…

Because the Dragon Control Technique, which rarely showed any changes, began to shift subtly. A series of obscure hand seals slowly appeared in his consciousness…

The Dragon Control Technique actually contained an ancient martial art!!!

Instinctively, he tried to dodge, but that crimson hand seal seemed to block all his escape routes. Just as Xiao Yufan was unsure how to respond, his heart suddenly raced…

Because the True Dragon Art rarely showed any changes, but now, faint hand seals slowly appeared in his consciousness…

The True Dragon Art actually contained ancient martial techniques!!!
