We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 247 Killing Pang Hao, the Green Fox King, and the Enchanting Voice (5K)

The newcomer was none other than the Vice Sect Master of the Ziyang Sect.

"Yang Jiu, it's just a competition, yet your sect's disciple is so ruthless. I'm merely stepping in to teach him a lesson for you." The middle-aged man, Yuan Chen, saw that Yang Jiu had broken his move, his pupils contracted slightly, but he chuckled lightly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jiu, the deputy sect leader of the Ziyang Sect, snorted coldly: "I will punish my sect's disciples for their misdeeds. It's just that others are meddling in other people's business."

Since you know this is a martial arts competition, you should understand that there are winners and losers in martial arts competitions.

If you were to assassinate someone simply because they defeated a disciple of Shangyuan Palace, and this got out, Shangyuan Palace would become a laughingstock.

Ordinary martial arts competitions are insignificant; if you lose, you lose, and you can always win back later.

However, Yuan Chen not only used underhanded tactics, but also used the true essence of martial arts, clearly intending to cut off Su Chen's path in martial arts. Yang Jiu naturally would not sit idly by.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen's expression turned ugly, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he snorted coldly, "Then please, Sect Master Yang, discipline this person properly. I'll take my leave now."

"No delivery!"

After Yuan Chen and Yuan Wu left, Yang Jiu turned to look at Su Chen, who was watching them go.

Pity……

Su Chen sighed inwardly.

"Haha, not bad." Yang Jiu smiled brightly.

Su Chen smiled outwardly, but understood inwardly.

Ever since Yang Jiu told him to go all out, he had guessed that Yang Jiu was observing him from the shadows.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

“I thought you would be defeated by the siege of disciples from various sects, but I never expected that you would not only defeat the disciples from various sects, but also defeat Yuan Wu from Shangyuan Palace.” Yang Jiu’s eyes flashed, and there was a look of surprise deep in his eyes.

This peak battle brought him too many surprises.

Although he told Su Chen to fight freely with the disciples of various sects, he did not believe that Su Chen could defeat everyone.

After all, all the major sects sent their top disciples, each of whom was no weaker than Su Chen.

But the final result was gratifying.

Su Chen defeated everyone, which greatly enhanced his prestige in front of the major sects.

This high-stakes battle was less about vying for the inheritance of Master Wanhua and more about a martial arts contest among disciples of various sects.

It is a clash between the top disciples of various sects, and also a contest over the allocation of slots in the Guiyi Secret Realm.

Su Chen's victory over the crowd has given the Ziyang Sect three extra spots to enter the Guiyi Secret Realm.

If one spot in the Guiyi Secret Realm can create one Divine Intent Realm martial artist, then having three extra spots would create three more Divine Intent Realm martial artists for the Ziyang Sect. This would be of great benefit to both the sect's disciples and the sect itself.

Of course, what pleases him most is Su Chen's current strength; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the 'number one young person in the Holy Yuan Kingdom'.

Yang Jiuyue became more and more satisfied with Su Chen, and said, "Su Chen, if I'm not mistaken, you should have comprehended at least 110,000 kinds of Yuan Power, right?"

Su Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding. The power of 110,000 kinds of Yuan energy was already far superior to that of others, so there was no need to reveal all his strength.

This is also why he didn't unleash the full power of the Myriad Manifestations earlier; 110,000 manifestations would have been astonishing enough.

If he were to unleash a million, ten million, or even a hundred million different techniques, he would surely face certain death.

Moreover, with his current Yuan power, it is not enough to support the power of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of Yuan powers.

"There are still nine years until the opening of the Guiyi Secret Realm. During this time, you should cultivate diligently. You should know that the power of Yuan energy also needs Yuan energy as support. I see that your realm is still at the Great Perfection of Yuan Shen. You can take advantage of this time to break through to the Perfection of Yuan Shen."

Yang Jiu exclaimed in amazement, "Once the primordial spirit is fully formed, one can unleash 110,000 different types of primordial power."

He couldn't even imagine how many different Yuan Power techniques Su Chen would be able to unleash once he broke through to the peak of the Yuan Spirit realm.

The cultivation of Yuanli Power is based on Yuanli.

The more abundant Su Chen's Yuan Power is, the more Yuan Power forms he can condense, and the more Yuan Power momentum he can comprehend.

In other words, once Su Chen breaks through, his Yuan Power will surge, and with his comprehension, he might be able to sense even more of the power's potential.

At that time, Su Chen will have comprehended more than 110,000 types of Yuan Power.

Thinking of this, Yang Jiu couldn't help but look forward to the changes when Su Chen broke through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm.

"Alright, that's enough about the matter of Master Wanhua. After you've dealt with things within the Great Qian territory, you can return to the Ziyang Sect and focus on your cultivation."

After bidding farewell to Su Chen, Yang Jiu transformed into a blur and vanished into the clouds.

Su Chen looked around, searching for Zhu Yan and Zu Peng.

During the battle with Yuan Wu, the two were thrown back by the aftershocks and landed on a high peak, whereabouts unknown.

"My benefactor, we are here." After searching for a long time, Zhu Yan's voice rang out.

Su Chen rushed over upon hearing the commotion and was relieved to see that Zhu Yan and Zu Peng were both safe and sound.

He said to the two of them, "This matter is over. Let's leave."

"Okay!" they both said in unison.

Before they had taken more than a few steps, Su Chen suddenly stopped. Zhu Yan and Zu Peng looked at Su Chen with a puzzled expression.

Su Chen turned to the two of them and said, "You two go back first, I still have things to take care of."

……

After leaving the peak, Yuan Chen and Yuan Wu embarked on their journey home.

"You shouldn't have made a move. I could have killed him," Yuan Wu said, still bearing the marks of his battle with Su Chen.

Yuan Chen stopped, looked at Yuan Wu, and frowned, saying, "You can't kill him. Yang Jiu is protecting him from the shadows."

"Then cripple him." Yuan Wu said through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with rage.

Seeing his frustrated expression, Yuan Chen frowned even more and said indifferently, "You can't cripple him either, he's stronger than you."

"What did you say!" These words immediately enraged Yuan Wu, and his face darkened.

Yuan Chen ignored Yuan Wu's expression and snorted: "Yuan Wu, a win is a win, and a loss is a loss. He can beat you once now, but if you continue to be so dejected, he will be able to beat you a second time, and even more times in the future."

He knew that Yuanwu was proud and always strived to be number one.

In fact, he had indeed done so before Su Chen appeared.

Before he was a hundred years old, he had cultivated to the point of perfect primordial spirit and comprehended 100,000 kinds of primordial power.

Unlike the myriad miscellaneous Yuan Power techniques of Wan Hua Shangren, what he comprehended was the Yuan Power technique carefully selected for him by Shangyuan Palace.

Both involve 100,000 kinds of elemental power, but the latter is far more powerful than the former.

Unfortunately, Yuan Wu's cultivation was not yet perfected. Otherwise, even if Su Chen had comprehended 110,000 kinds of Yuan Power, he might not have been able to defeat Yuan Wu.

This defeat was naturally a great blow to Gentsu.

After Yuan Wu calmed down, Yuan Chen said, "You still have nine years to surpass him. As long as you master these 100,000 kinds of dome power, Su Chen will definitely not be your match."

Hearing these comforting words, Yuanwu's expression improved slightly.

Yuan Chen continued, "However, what you're fighting for isn't these nine years, but what's nine years from now."

If nothing unexpected happens, Su Chen will also enter the Guiyi Secret Realm with you, and that will be the time for your real showdown.

No matter how much one comprehends the power of Yuanli, without grasping the true meaning of martial arts, one will ultimately find it difficult to reach a high level of mastery.

With these 100,000 kinds of Yuan Power as a foundation, you will be able to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts faster than other martial artists.

"At that point, you can kill Su Chen openly and without fear, and no one can stop you."

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, Su Chen may not live to see nine years from now."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wu's eyes flashed, and he understood the implication behind Yuan Chen's words.

This martial arts competition caused a huge sensation, attracting almost 90% of the Yuan Shen realm martial artists in the Holy Yuan Kingdom, making it an unprecedented spectacle.

This will naturally attract the attention of some bad guys, among whom there might be members of the Demon Alliance.

As a force infiltrating human warriors, the Demon Alliance would definitely spare no effort to assassinate Su Chen once it discovers that such a peerless genius as Su Chen has emerged among the human race.

If Su Chen escapes the assassination attempt, everything will be fine; if he fails, then all will be lost.

Even so, why did he still feel aggrieved upon learning of this situation?

This feeling was especially strong when he thought that Su Chen had not died at his hands, but at the hands of the Demon Alliance.

"Su Chen, you'd better be smart and not die at the hands of the Demon Alliance, so that I can become stronger by stepping on your corpse!" Yuan Wu thought to himself.

Yuan Chen glanced at Yuan Wu and said calmly, "Let's go."

……

Daqian Imperial City.

After all the warriors went to the summit, the entire imperial city became unusually deserted.

A figure flashed across the city wall like lightning, traversed the city, and soon arrived at the Li residence.

"Is no one home?"

Pang Hao, somewhat skeptical, searched again, but still couldn't find Hong Ming, Li Mo, and the others. "Could they have escaped while everyone else was gone?"

Pang Hao guessed, his expression turning somewhat grim.

Just now, the results of the high-level battle were spread by Nie Long: Su Chen defeated a hundred top disciples from various sects single-handedly.

Upon hearing this news, Pang Hao's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Back then, Su Chen was only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm. How could he have become so strong in just two months?

However, almost all the fallen martial artists acknowledged this result, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

This fact caused Pang Hao to feel a sudden sense of panic for no apparent reason.

He hadn't forgotten that this whole thing started because of him.

He was the one who revealed Su Chen's identity as the successor of the Myriad Transformations Master, and he was the one who leaked Su Chen's information in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Now, Su Chen is not only alive, but has become so powerful that he can hardly match him.

Once Su Chen recovers, the other party will definitely seek revenge.

He originally intended to rush back to the Ziyang Sect before Su Chen found him, believing that with the sect's rules protecting him, Su Chen would certainly not dare to act recklessly.

But then he thought, Su Chen is so strong now, what if he intercepts him halfway?
Wouldn't that lead to certain death?
He was more afraid of the unexpected than the possible; he didn't want to take any risks.

So he decided to go to the Li residence and capture either Hong Ming or Li Mo.

With their help, they can not only return safely to the Ziyang Sect, but also take the opportunity to obtain the Eight Desolate Palace Master's inheritance from Zhu Yan.

He searched the Li residence three times but still couldn't find Hong Ming and Li Mo.

"The closest gate to the Li residence is the West Gate. Let's go check the West Gate." After searching for a long time, Pang Hao finally found it. He didn't delay any longer and instead thought about the direction the group had escaped from. He quickly made a decision and decided to head to the West Gate to begin the search.

Pang Hao walked forward along the west gate, scanning the area below to observe the people leaving the city.

After walking two or three kilometers, Pang Hao suddenly stopped, a strange feeling of unease welling up inside him.

Staring ahead, Pang Hao's pupils contracted as a familiar figure came into view.

Upon seeing Su Chen, his heart pounded wildly, and he exclaimed in shock, "You, how did you find me?"

His voice trembled slightly, and within that trembling was a hint of fear; Su Chen's appearance had thrown him into complete disarray.

Click.

In response, Su Chen acted without hesitation, delivering a simple and straightforward slap to Pang Hao.

Pang Hao's eyes were filled with terror. He desperately wanted to dodge the slap, but his body trembled uncontrollably, unable to move an inch.

Snapped!
The crisp sound of a slap rang out, marking the end of Pang Hao's life.

With just one move, Pang Hao, who was several times stronger than Su Chen back then, died a miserable death at Su Chen's hands without any power to resist.

After dealing with Pang Hao, Su Chen looted the corpse.

In the distance, in the dense forest.

A figure emerged from the darkness.

Upon seeing this figure, several demons who were observing Su Chen knelt down and said, "Greetings, Azure Fox King."

The Azure Fox King, who resembled a human but was short in stature, looked at Su Chen as he walked away and asked, "Is this Su Chen?"

"Your Majesty, this is Su Chen," the leading demon replied.

After confirming Su Chen's identity, the Azure Fox King's eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "Then let's make our move."

"Yes!" several subordinates replied.

Just as they were about to catch up with Su Chen and carry out the assassination, they heard the Green Fox King curse, "Fool, you don't even know you've been discovered."

Everyone looked completely bewildered: "???"

At this moment, a blue light shone from the body of the Azure Fox King, transforming into a halo that enveloped all the demons.

The demons stopped in their tracks, and just as they looked on in confusion, a deafening sound rang out.

boom!
The cyan aura blocked Su Chen's fatal slap, but it did not block the loud sound that the slap brought.

It was as if ten thousand monks were striking a bronze bell at the same time; the thunderous sound reverberated endlessly in the minds of the demons, making their eardrums feel as if they were about to burst.

"Who...is it?" A demon's eyes bulged out, blood flowed from its seven orifices, and it let out a mournful cry.

clap clap clap!
Outside the cyan halo, Su Chen's figure suddenly appeared, a solemn expression appearing on his brow.

When he was about to kill Pang Hao, he inadvertently noticed that a demon was secretly watching him, so he pretended to leave and secretly made his move.

He thought he could easily kill these monsters, but the appearance of a fox-faced monster made him wary.

So he stopped hiding and acted quickly, aiming for a fatal blow.

Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late. This fox-faced demon was very powerful, and it blocked his 100,000 kinds of Yuan Power with just a halo.

"A king-level demon, huh?" Su Chen murmured, his eyes darkening.

General-level monsters no longer pose a danger to him, and are not even a match for him.

Only a king-level demon or a demon of higher rank could so easily block his 100,000 kinds of elemental power.

However, the aura emanating from the fox-faced demon was not much stronger than his, so he guessed that the other party should be a king-level demon.

Just as Su Chen had this thought, a power fluctuation that made his heart tremble suddenly erupted from within the cyan light circle. His proud slap attack landed within the cyan light circle, but collapsed and dissipated in less than half a second.

"Have you had enough?" A deep voice suddenly rang out, and the Azure Fox King stepped out from the halo, followed by numerous dead demons.

He stared at Su Chen with a gloomy face. When Su Chen did not answer and only continued to slap him, his pupils narrowed and anger surged.

Although he blocked all the slaps and they did not cause him any real harm, the sound of the slaps, combined with the sight of his men dying behind him, undoubtedly gave him the urge to be slapped in the face.

"I originally intended to capture you alive, but now, you might as well die!" the Green Fox King sneered.

His voice seemed to carry a peculiar rhythm, and the entire air vibrated with that rhythm.

The moment the words reached Su Chen's ears, his body trembled involuntarily.

This was clearly a statement brimming with murderous intent, yet it sounded like heavenly music.

"not good!"

Su Chen was horrified.

Under the influence of this alluring voice, his Yuan Power seemed to stagnate, and his Yuan Spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness closed its eyes and became drowsy.

In less than a few breaths, Su Chen's mind went blank, his body stiffened, and he was unable to move.

buzzing.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade at his waist seemed to sense the danger to Su Chen, and it trembled, transmitting a strange energy fluctuation that allowed Su Chen's consciousness to recover slightly.

Su Chen realized that he could move his arm again, but he still pretended to be frightened, trying to deceive the Green Fox King.

"Ok?"

However, the Green Fox King quickly sensed the aura of the Heaven-Severing Blade and let out a soft exclamation.

He looked at Su Chen and sneered, "I didn't expect you to be such a good actor. In that case, I'll let you keep pretending until you die!"

The same move was used, and a vicious sentence fell into Su Chen's ears, as if thousands of smooth, beautiful young women were blowing on his body, making his bones weak and numb, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

This time, even with the reminder from the Heaven-Severing Blade, Su Chen's pupils gradually became unfocused.

Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique!
With a roar in his heart, Su Chen mobilized the Yuan energy within his body and suddenly flipped his palm.

With his last shred of reason, he grabbed the Heaven-Severing Blade and swung it out, unleashing a torrent of Yuan Power that cleaved through the air and surged toward the Azure Fox King.

Upon seeing this, the Azure Fox King's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected Su Chen to be able to resist at this moment.

However, a smile immediately appeared on his face. The more Su Chen resisted, the more accomplished he felt in killing Su Chen.

"Unfortunately, he's still too weak!" The Azure Fox King simply blew a breath, easily dispelling Su Chen's attack.

This scene caught Su Chen's eye, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

Fortunately, Su Chen's body had recovered slightly after the attack, and he tried to escape while the Green Fox King was making his move.

"Want to run? No way!"

The Azure Fox King sneered, stretched out his palm, curled his fingers to form a claw, and reached out to grab Su Chen.

Hearing the whooshing sound behind him, Su Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the Azure Fox King's pitch-black fox claws.

He paused, then turned around, raised the Heaven-Slaying Blade high, and slashed out, creating a dazzling river of blades.

boom.

The sharp claws clashed with the blade's edge like needles against wheat awns, producing only a low, dull thud before annihilating each other.

Taking advantage of this gap, Su Chen strode across, leaping over a hundred meters away, and sprinted away with all his might.

Upon seeing this, the Green Fox King immediately flashed away, leaving behind an afterimage, and chased after it.
