Previously, when Xiao Yufan obtained the Yu Long Zhen Jue (True Dragon Manual) from the jade pendant, he was ecstatic. To him, this manual was practically a powerful cheat code. With its existence, his progress in strength could only be described as terrifyingly fast.
If before the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, the Yu Long Zhen Jue was somewhat mediocre, then the ability to copy ancient martial arts techniques was, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, nothing short of divine.
Now, from those obscure hand seals, he distinctly sensed the fluctuation of ancient martial arts energy!
How could the martial arts hidden within the Yu Long Zhen Jue possibly be weak? At this moment, Xiao Yufan felt as though he had grasped a lifeline. Who said he had to evade the Shura Palm!
Without altering his hand seal, a faint smile finally surfaced on Xiao Yufan’s lips. He could feel it—the ancient martial art within the Yu Long Zhen Jue was extremely powerful!
“Is this guy trying to get himself killed?!”
Seeing Xiao Yufan motionless, some people cried out in alarm. Even without being in the thick of things, they could sense the terrifying power of the Shura Palm. If it were an ordinary expert at the Later Heaven stage, there would only be one outcome.
“Foolish arrogance! I hope you don’t die too soon—I still want my chance for revenge!”
Nuo Tiangong sneered coldly. He hadn’t expected this fellow to be so overconfident. Did he really believe he could withstand a strike from someone whose strength was nearly at the peak of the Early Heaven stage?
Such overwhelming momentum clearly demonstrated the Shura Palm’s power. Even in his strongest defensive state, one would be gravely injured if lucky to survive. Nuo Tiangong didn’t believe Xiao Yufan possessed such formidable strength.
After all, Guo Chen’s current strength had surpassed the Half-step Heaven stage, standing merely a hair’s breadth away from the true Early Heaven stage…
“What exactly is he doing? Could he really be planning to withstand the attack head-on?!”
The whistling sound made Ye Kong’s eyes twitch in alarm. Even he, having touched the threshold of the Half-step Heaven stage, had no choice but to retreat in the face of such an assault. Yet, judging from the current situation, Xiao Yufan had no intention of dodging at all.
Everyone had their own thoughts. Many secretly hoped for Xiao Yufan’s downfall, like Gong Luotian and Gong Hao, who wished for this hidden member of the Guo family to eliminate Xiao Yufan, sparing them the trouble of revenge. Yet, with their current abilities, even seeking revenge seemed nearly impossible.
Of course, many were worried for Xiao Yufan. This move was far too reckless, especially considering how strange and unpredictable Guo Chen had become at this moment.
The crimson hand seal encountered no resistance, sealing off every escape route as it slowly closed in. Just as Guo Chen’s sinister grin widened, a massive hand seal quietly emerged beside Xiao Yufan.
At this sight, some people finally understood. So this guy had been preparing his next move all along! But could a martial art hastily executed in desperation withstand the Shura Palm?
“Yu Long Zhu Tian Yin (Dragon-Subduing Celestial Seal)!”
A white-glowing palm quietly shimmered with a faint golden light. Soon, a crisp dragon’s roar echoed forth, followed by Xiao Yufan’s voice—overbearing and arrogant. In that moment, Xiao Yufan’s aura nearly overshadowed Guo Chen’s.
Only Xiao Yufan himself knew clearly how much energy the Yu Long Zhu Tian Yin had drained from him. His steps became unsteady, almost causing him to stumble and expose a weakness. Still, he was quite satisfied with the resulting spectacle.
The massive golden hand seal, like a golden dragon, slammed fiercely into the crimson hand seal. Then, golden and blood-red energies began to mix, culminating in a deafening explosion.
The smile on Guo Chen’s face froze instantly. His pupils shrank sharply, as if witnessing something utterly unbelievable.
Boom!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the crimson hand seal developed deep cracks. The situation shifted abruptly. What they believed to be an overwhelming Shura Seal was now clearly outmatched by Xiao Yufan’s Yu Long Zhu Tian Yin.
Guo Chen’s body seemed to suffer a massive impact. A trickle of blood seeped from his lips, gradually increasing. His face twisted into a hideous grimace. Even after using all his hidden trump cards, he still lost.
Originally believing the crimson hand seal to be an overwhelming force, it was now clearly retreating before the golden Yu Long Zhu Tian Yin. At this moment, everyone’s estimation of Xiao Yufan’s strength rose another level.
“Now, you can die!”
Even Xiao Yufan hadn’t expected the ancient martial art hidden within the Yu Long Zhen Jue to be this powerful. Or perhaps the Yu Long Zhu Tian Yin had transcended the realm of ordinary ancient martial arts. Its momentum far surpassed that of the Shura Seal.
Even with the Yu Long Zhen Jue aiding him, Xiao Yufan felt completely drained in an instant, revealing the terrifying cost of the Tian Yin technique. At this moment, he was filled with confidence, enough to ensure Guo Chen would not escape.
Xiao Yufan’s voice rang like a bell, making the blood dripping from Guo Chen’s lips even more pronounced.
Under such oppressive pressure, Guo Chen couldn’t muster even the slightest resistance. What use was it to reach the Half-Step Heaven stage? Even using the Blood Demon Body Form had failed to inflict the slightest injury on Xiao Yufan. This helpless sense of defeat caused the blood mist surrounding Guo Chen to tremble violently.
With no way to escape, Guo Chen’s lips twitched violently. Even gravely wounded, he knew he wouldn’t die. That person would never allow it!
“Hmph, you dare harm my disciple!”
Xiao Yufan hadn’t noticed the fleeting gleam in Guo Chen’s eyes. He only knew that now was no time for mercy. Even if someone from the hidden Guo family intervened, he would still kill. But before he could strike the final blow, a surge of blood energy rushed to his chest.
A red flash passed by, and Guo Chen’s figure vanished from the spot. The golden hand seal crashed down heavily, leaving the entire viewing platform in utter disarray.
With the arrival of this voice, many elders in the crowd opened their eyes wide. Old Master Situ’s gaze locked tightly onto a blood shadow in midair—there seemed to be no trace of life from the figure.
In his hand, Guo Chen hung like a dying dog, his entire body smeared in glaring bloodstains. Clearly, the Yu Long Zhu Tian Yin had inflicted grave injuries upon him.
Such a strange figure appearing in midair without any external aid left many mouths agape.
“Blood Han Zi, you’re still alive!”
The mysterious leader of the Eastern Holy Temple stared at the blood shadow, a trace of surprise flickering across his face before he slowly spoke, as if recalling something.
At these words, all the peak experts, including Old Master Situ, narrowed their eyes, their expressions shifting from shock to heightened vigilance…
