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

Chapter 290 Fate is against us, another wave rises.

A calm voice rang out, causing Yuan Yin to cough up blood and his face to flush red.

Being defeated by Su Chen was bad enough, but to be mocked by him like that was unacceptable.

Yuan Yin's anger was palpable on his face, and his eyes were filled with a chilling intensity as he stared directly at Su Chen.

Su Chen remained calm, his tall figure emerging from the swirling dust.

Compared to Yuan Yin's disheveled appearance, Su Chen was spotless, as if he were the true Wanshou Realm martial artist.

Looking at Yuan Yin in such a disheveled state, Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

It seems the other person's injuries are more serious than I thought.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to withstand even one of his own attacks.

In that move just now, he didn't use his full strength, but he did use the Heaven-Severing Blade.

I thought that against a martial artist at the Ten Thousand Longevity Realm, we would at most be evenly matched, but the result was completely unexpected.

With a single move, he utterly defeated Yuan Yin.

But this is good, as Su Chen can now deal with the opponent with peace of mind.

"not good!"

Before Su Chen could even reveal his killing intent, Yuan Yin's expression changed drastically the moment Su Chen's figure was revealed.

Ignoring his injuries, he immediately began to circulate his energy and leave.

The gap between the two sides was too great; once Su Chen made a decisive move, he would be powerless to resist.

If you don't leave now, you'll never be able to leave again.

Su Chen stopped and looked on, not surprised by Yuan Yin's actions.

If a martial artist at the Longevity Realm didn't react in this way, it would be a waste of their reputation.

"However, that depends on who you meet!"

If it were anyone else, Yuan Yin might be able to escape, but if it were Su Chen, there would be no escape.

As Yuan Yin's figure shrank, Su Chen swung his sword without hesitation.

As the blade was drawn, the air vibrated, and a dazzling river of blades pierced the sky.

It traversed the void with lightning speed, striking Yuan Yin in a few flashes.

Yuan Yin let out a scream, and then his body suddenly fell to the ground.

This scene was somewhat unexpected for Su Chen, who had thought that a single strike would be enough to shatter the opponent's body.

It seems we need to finish them off.

The way to finish off the enemy was simple: Su Chen flicked his finger, sending out a wisp of Nine-Turn Glazed Fire.

A flash of flame landed precisely on Yuan Yin's body, destroying all traces of the crime.

Seeing this, Su Chen took a few steps and came to the place where the flames were burning, and looked at it intently.

Even under the burning of the Nine-Turn Fire, it could not be completely burned away immediately.

The corpse of a martial artist at the Longevity Realm is comparable to a divine weapon and is not so easily burned.

Su Chen increased the power of the flames.

Finally, the corpse changed; its flesh and bones gradually melted away in the flames.

"Did the breakthrough succeed?"

After the burning ended, Su Chen looked back at the cave, where a powerful aura emanated from within.

But it dissipated not long afterward.

The next moment, the Demon-Slaying Sword flew out of the cave, followed by Li Mu'e.

At this moment, Li Mu'e's aura was clearly visible, indicating that she had just broken through and had not yet fully controlled her aura.

Seeing Su Chen not far away, he walked slowly with a sword in hand.

"I broke through."

Li Mu'e said softly, her eyebrows showing joy.

This retreat was very rewarding; it not only tempered my primordial spirit and physical body, but also allowed me to break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"Hmm, how is your condensed Dharma form?" Su Chen asked curiously.

The Demon-Slaying Sword answered for Li Mu'e: "Mu'e has naturally condensed a special Dharma form."

Su Chen nodded upon hearing this, not seeming to care much.

After all, given Li Mu'e's talent, it's not surprising that she could condense a special Dharma form.

"What just happened?" Li Mu'e asked, looking at the still-burning flames beside her.

Although she broke through in the cave, she could still hear the sounds of battle coming from the outside.

I have some concerns, hence this question.

Su Chen shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Now that you've broken through, let's leave first."

"it is good!"

The two descended the mountain.

As the sun rises, its golden rays pierce the darkness and bathe the earth.

"What are your plans next?"

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Su Chen looked at Li Mu'e and asked.

"The same as always," Li Mu'e replied.

"Then let's part ways now."

"it is good!"

Watching Li Mu'e's departing figure, Su Chen composed himself and prepared to leave as well.

He hadn't walked a few steps when he looked back and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

A powerful aura was faintly emanating from the mountain where the two of them had just been.

"Did you find out so quickly?"

Su Chen muttered to himself, quickening his pace to avoid being discovered again.

He hadn't walked far when he saw golden-armored guards surging in from all directions.

Yuan Yin's death caused the martial arts mountain, which had just calmed down, to boil over again.

Hidden within this boiling atmosphere was a surging killing intent.

This time, however, no one noticed him, and no one knew that he had killed Yuan Yin.

He can leave peacefully.

However, just when he thought everything was going well, the appearance of a figure shattered his illusions.

"That direction is..."

Not long after leaving the cave, Su Chen keenly noticed a powerful figure soaring out from mid-air.

The direction the other party flew in was the same direction Li Mu'e had left in.

This caused his expression to change drastically, and he immediately realized something: "Damn it, there are still traces of Li Mu'e's breakthrough aura in the cave. She must have been discovered by the Golden Armor Guards!"

The aura of a breakthrough wouldn't last long, so neither of them paid any attention to it at the time.

However, no one expected that the Golden Armor Guards would discover Yuan Yin's death so quickly and find the location of the cave.

In such a short time, Li Mu'e's presence in the cave must not have completely dissipated.

Judging from the hurried manner of the other party, it was obvious that they must have discovered Li Mu'e.

"Go over and have a look!"

Without hesitation, Su Chen changed direction and headed towards Li Mu'e's location.

the other side.

Upon learning of Yuan Yin's death, Yuan Jin was filled with rage that nearly erupted.

After discovering Li Mu'e's presence in the cave, he used a secret technique to find the direction she had left in.

Filled with murderous intent, Yuan Jin went all out to catch up with Li Mu'e.

"No matter who you are, I will tear you to pieces!" Yuan Jin gritted his teeth.

A sense of regret welled up inside me.

If he hadn't been busy dealing with the remnants of the Demon Alliance, he wouldn't have sent Yuan Yin out on patrol.

He had thought that although Yuan Yin was injured, he was still a martial artist at the Longevity Realm.

Even if you encounter a powerful, hidden monster and are unable to defeat it, you will still have a chance to call for help.

Who would have thought that their next meeting would be their eternal separation?

The murderer not only killed Yuan Yin, but also destroyed the body to cover up the crime, leaving no trace of the remains.

If he hadn't discovered it early, he might have gotten away with it.

"That aura is nearby."

At such rapid speed, Yuan Jin quickly sensed the faint aura of the murderer lurking nearby.

He slowed his pace, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping across the entire landscape, trying to find that figure. "Found it!"

Suddenly, he paused, sensing that familiar aura, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Without hesitation, with a whoosh, it transformed into a beam of light and sped towards that aura.

"Ok?"

As soon as they got close, the other party darted away like a startled rabbit.

Its speed was extremely fast, and it was in no way inferior to his.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Yuan Jin simply stopped hiding and revealed his full speed.

However, even with such full force, Yuan Jin found that his opponent was still far ahead of him.

"Damn it!"

The murderer was right in front of him, yet he couldn't catch him; one can imagine the anger he felt.

After cursing angrily, Yuan Jin gritted his teeth and sped up again.

The two chased and fled for an unknown distance, and the distance between them grew shorter and shorter.

Just when Yuan Jin thought he was about to catch the murderer, a bizarre scene suddenly unfolded.

The murderer's aura, which could be sensed just moments before, vanished in an instant.

It was as if they had never existed.

"How can this be!"

Yuan Jin naturally did not believe that the other party's extraordinary abilities had simply vanished. He was certain that the other party had used methods to conceal their presence in an attempt to deceive everyone.

With that thought in mind, he leaped into the air and searched for the killer's figure.

However, no matter how far he looked, he could not see the other person at all.

This caused Yuan Jin to feel inexplicably flustered.

The joy that had yet to emerge vanished completely with the disappearance of the killer's presence.

at the same time.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure that gold brought him was far greater than that of silver.

To prevent Yuan Jin from finding Li Mu'e, Su Chen had no choice but to deliberately transform his aura into Li Mu'e's.

Then he deliberately revealed himself to lure Kaiyuan Jin.

Yuan Jin, already enraged, never considered this. Upon sensing Su Chen's presence, he changed targets and began chasing after Su Chen.

Seeing that Yuan Jin had been tricked, Su Chen quickly left in the opposite direction.

In this way, even if the other party realizes they've been tricked, they may not be able to find Li Mu'e.

However, the situation was far more dangerous than anticipated.

After a chase, he had already exhausted all his strength, but Yuan Jin was still able to accelerate and continuously shorten the distance between them.

Seeing that the other party was about to catch up, Su Chen dared not be careless and immediately concealed his aura.

The combined Hunyuan Wuliang Gong is even more effective, able to deceive even the primordial spirit of a Wanshou Realm martial artist.

That's why he was able to escape.

Not long after he left, he heard Yuan Jin's irrational roar coming from afar.

Su Chen chuckled lightly, discerned the direction of the Ziyang Sect, and prepared to leave.

Things don't always go as planned; accidents always happen suddenly.

The direction Su Chen was heading was exactly the direction the Golden Armor Guards were coming from.

Even though they dodged in advance, they were still spotted by a sharp-eyed golden-armored guard.

"Halt! Who are you?"

The Golden Armor Guards reacted quickly, surrounding Su Chen from all sides to prevent him from escaping.

Su Chen stopped, showing no sign of panic, and said casually, "I am an alchemist from Tiandan City, and I happened to pass by this place."

His voice was strong and clear, indicating he was a pure and honest martial artist.

However, the other party didn't follow the usual procedure for questioning, and the leader of the golden-armored guards gave an order:
“In this desolate wilderness, you are all alone and acting suspiciously. There must be something fishy going on. Arrest me and take me to Lord Yuan.”

The golden-armored guards swarmed forward and captured Su Chen.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen lost all interest in getting entangled with them.

He leaped into the air and escaped the encirclement of the golden-armored guards.

But they had anticipated this. Seeing Su Chen resist, the golden-armored guards around them suddenly stepped forward and charged straight up.

Dozens of golden-armored guards blocked the void from all directions, trapping Su Chen like a human-shaped prison.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen frowned. He looked back and saw that Yuan Jin seemed to have noticed the commotion and was rushing towards them.

Unwilling to get entangled with the Golden Armor Guards, Su Chen roared, "Get out of my way!"

He then raised his arm, and a torrent of Yuan energy instantly gathered on his fist. With a roar, he unleashed a furious punch.

The terrifying force of the punch compressed the air, creating a crackling sound.

Then it charged forward with unstoppable momentum, and the space in its path was slightly distorted.

The force of that punch, aside from not using his Dharma Form, was almost entirely due to Su Chen's strength.

Once revealed, its power is astonishing.

The many golden-armored guards never expected that a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm would be so powerful.

The mere force of their fists was enough to make them feel a tendency to submit, let alone resist.

boom!
As the fist landed, all the golden-armored guards who were blocking in front of him were sent flying backward like sandbags without any resistance.

A broad road was blasted open by Su Chen's fist.

Without hesitation, Su Chen took a step forward, and his ghostly figure burst out, breaking through the encirclement of the golden-armored guards in the blink of an eye.

"Stop him!"

Upon seeing Su Chen's fleeing figure, the lead golden-armored guard shouted.

Unfortunately to no avail.

Su Chen's speed was too fast.

Furthermore, the golden-armored guards who had previously surrounded Su Chen had already been overwhelmed and were now unable to stop him.

After shaking off the Golden Armor Guards, Su Chen spurred his horse and left them far behind.

But his expression did not relax at all, because the commotion had just attracted Yuan Jin's attention.

Su Chen looked up at the sky, where a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent glared at him.

He was exposed; Yuan Jin had already locked onto him with his primordial spirit.

No matter how he tried to escape, he couldn't get out of Yuan Jin's sight.

"Tough luck!"

They could have escaped safely, but were unexpectedly discovered by the Golden Armor Guards, and now they've been discovered by Yuan Jin.

Although he changed his aura, Su Chen knew from the other party's attitude that the other party clearly regarded him as one of the murderers.

Now, even if he wanted to run, it was too late.

"Get rid of the Golden Armor Guards first!"

Since we can't avoid it, let's try to minimize the crisis.

One Yuan Jin was already enough of a headache for him; if the Golden Armor Guards were added, he would likely be attacked from both sides.

It would be better to deal with only Shangyuan Jin.

With this idea in mind, Su Chen transformed into a streak of light, keeping an eye on Yuan Jin while shaking off the Golden Armor Guards.

However, this situation did not last long.

suddenly.

Yuan Jin swooped down and suddenly landed in front of Su Chen, forcing him to stop.

He looked at Su Chen with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Although he didn't think Su Chen could kill Yuan Yin, Su Chen's actions made him suspicious.

"I am the leader of the Golden Armor Guard. Will you come with me yourself, or shall I take you with me?"

Yuan Jin said indifferently, intending to take Su Chen back for a thorough interrogation.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen grinned, turned into a blur, and ignored Yuan Jin completely before turning and leaving.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Jin snorted coldly, showing no concern whatsoever.

Letting a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm escape from his grasp would be a laughing stock.
To his slight surprise, the other party seemed to have been terrified by him, and actually walked into the trap in the direction of the Golden Armor Guards.

Yuan Jin chuckled lightly, not caring at all.

No matter how much Su Chen ran, he stayed right behind him, looking down at him from his elevated position.

It was like watching a play; once the curtain fell, that was when he would make his move.
