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

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Blood dripped into a puddle below, making a crisp sound, but the sound carried a suffocating pressure, causing everyone present to breathe heavily, remain motionless, and stare intently at He Qiu, who had lost an arm.

He Qiu's face was filled with surprise and anger; the battle just now had a huge impact on him.

He had clearly used all his methods, even taking out the divine weapon Four Seasons Bell. The combination of the two should have given him the power to fight even against the most outstanding geniuses on the Divine Power Ranking. However, unexpectedly, all his methods crumbled like paper when they met Su Chen's blade light.

The two had barely exchanged blows when he felt an overwhelming and irresistible force crashing down on him. He tried to defend himself, but under such a powerful attack, even the Four Seasons Bell shattered.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the blade pierced through his arm, severing it completely.

"hateful!"

Thinking of this, He Qiu's hatred erupted, and her eyes, fixed on Su Chen, were filled with an intense killing intent.

But he knew that Su Chen had become a force to be reckoned with, and that he alone could not kill him at the moment.

However, he also knew that although Su Chen appeared to be unharmed, his injuries might not be any less severe than his own. He might already be at his limit, and anyone who made a move against him could kill Su Chen.

However, this idea did not last long before Su Chen shattered it in front of him.

Su Chen was somewhat surprised to see that He Qiu was still alive, because in his perception, He Qiu had already stopped breathing.

Unexpectedly, after the smoke dissipated, He Qiu's figure was still hanging in front of him.

Although it was unclear how He Qiu concealed her aura, it was of no consequence and would not affect Su Chen's subsequent actions.

The injury was less severe than He Qiu had imagined. Su Chen was indeed injured, but the injury was not serious.

At least, they still have the strength to kill He Qiu.

So when he saw that He Qiu was still alive, Su Chen did not hesitate to prepare his attack. He could tell that He Qiu was strong on the outside but weak on the inside and seriously injured. He did not need to prepare his power for long. He gently raised the Heaven-Slaying Blade and slowly brought it down. This extremely ordinary blade came whistling down with unprecedented deadly power.

Seeing this, He Qiu's eyes narrowed suddenly. He dared not be careless and forcibly circulated his internal energy. However, as soon as he circulated it, his body churned violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Even so, he treated it as nothing and used the Four Seasons Bell to dodge away.

"Senior Brother Heqiu!"

Those who witnessed this scene were all shocked. Some disciples of the Holy Origin Sect wanted to make a move, but Yun Xi stopped them.

"Step aside!"

A disciple of the Holy Origin Sect dressed in white roared, showing no fear even when facing Yun Xi, and attacked fiercely.

"Dare to lay a hand on my woman? Did you even ask for my opinion?"

Before Yunxi could make a move, a cold voice rang out, and then Ayana appeared between the two, waving her hand and effortlessly deflecting the white-robed man's attack.

"You, weren't you going to deal with Yun Xi? Why did you help her?" The man in white frowned, looking puzzled, and questioned her sharply when he saw Ayana make a move.

"I'll help whoever I want, and I'll deal with whoever I want. What I do is none of your business, and what right do you have to judge me?" Ayana snorted coldly, her face as cold as ice. But after she finished speaking, she turned to Yun Xi and smiled.

"Very well, very well! The people of Ziyang Sect are indeed all birds of a feather. Su Chen colluded with the Heavenly Demon, and I think you, Yun Xi, are no exception. I will definitely report this matter to the sect elders and let everyone in Shengyuan City know the ugly face of your Ziyang Sect!" The white-robed man was furious and extremely anxious. Fortunately, He Qiu was still strong and dodged Su Chen's attack, and did not die.

He felt a little relieved, but he made no attempt to hide his sarcasm towards Yunxi and Ayena's behavior.

"what!"

Just then, He Qiu's miserable scream came from ahead, causing everyone present to turn their heads.

Looking in the direction of the sound, it was clear that He Qiu was completely at a disadvantage in her exchange with Su Chen. At this moment, she was knocked down by Su Chen's attack, and her body fell like a kite. On the other hand, Su Chen had no intention of letting He Qiu go. Instead, he pressed his advantage and seemed determined to kill her.

"Oh no! Quick, go save Senior Brother He Qiu!"

Without the white-robed man's prompting, the disciples of the Holy Origin Sect immediately took action upon seeing this. Hundreds of martial artists simultaneously unleashed their divine abilities, striking at Su Chen. This was the formation that the Holy Origin Sect had previously deployed, capable of concentrating everyone's Yuan Power to unleash considerable power.

The power of the attack was no less than the killing move that Su Chen used when he fought He Qiu. Its strength immediately made Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao feel threatened. Su Chen dared not be careless and had to temporarily give up the pursuit of He Qiu and change direction to avoid the attack.

Even so, unable to dodge in time, their bodies were locked by the powerful energy and trapped within it.

At this moment, the white-robed man's cold voice rang out: "Su Chen, this is our Holy Origin Sect's Yin-Yang Harmony Formation, which gathers the Yuan Power of all our Holy Origin Sect disciples. You are only one person, how can you resist it?"

"You colluded with the Heavenly Demon and plotted to murder Senior Brother He Qiu. Today, my Holy Origin Sect will not spare you! All disciples of the Holy Origin Sect, heed my command: follow me to slay this fiend and uphold justice on behalf of Heaven! Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The disciples of the Holy Origin Sect roared in unison, their morale high and their domineering presence unmatched.

Knowing that Yun Xi would step forward, the man in white spoke first: "Yun Xi, if you dare to stop us again, don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

Finally, he said to Xiang Cheng, "Xiang Cheng, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but both Su Chen and Yun Xi are from your Ziyang Sect. I hope the Ziyang Sect will not get involved in this matter, so as not to damage the relationship between our two sects. You and Senior Brother Bi Tianyu are good friends, so you must know what to do. I don't need to say more. I hope you will restrain Yun Xi and not stop us from killing Su Chen, this criminal!"

Xiang Cheng nodded solemnly: "I will handle this matter myself!"

After speaking, he looked at Yun Xi, who said angrily, "Xiang Cheng, you..."

“Senior Sister Yunxi, this matter involves the feud between Su Chen and the Holy Origin Sect. If you continue to be so stubborn, even I cannot protect you. It would be best if you did not interfere. Now, I am not speaking to you as your junior brother, but as the leader of this team, and I am giving you this order!”

Xiang Cheng interrupted Yun Xi, glanced at Ayana, and stood in front of Yun Xi.

Under Xiang Cheng's command, the other disciples of the Ziyang Sect also stood with her to intercept Yun Xi.

"What heinous crime did Su Chen commit? It's one thing for the Holy Origin Sect to want to deal with him, but why are the Purple Sun Sect targeting him as well?"

"I did hear a rumor, but I don't know if it's true."

"Any other news? I do know that Su Chen killed a true disciple of the Holy Origin Sect. The Holy Origin Sect has wanted to deal with him for a long time, but they have been holding back. Now they can't hold back any longer and are preparing to take action against Su Chen. Could there be other reasons?" "Of course there are. This Su Chen is extremely arrogant and has offended not only the Holy Origin Sect, but also Bi Tianyu of the Purple Sun Sect. You know the relationship between Bi Tianyu and the Holy Origin Sect. It's like he has half-sided with the Holy Origin Sect. Given the relationship between the Holy Origin Sect and Bi Tianyu, Su Chen is not well received in the Purple Sun Sect."

"Moreover, the leader of this team, Xiang Cheng, is a follower of Bi Tianyu. Under such circumstances, how could he possibly help Su Chen? It would be good enough if he didn't join forces with the Holy Yuan Sect to deal with Su Chen."

"Therefore, one should not be too arrogant. There is always someone better. If one is too arrogant, someone will come and deal with him."

"..."

The onlookers had all heard about the conflict between Su Chen and the Holy Origin Sect, and at this moment they had no intention of making a move. Instead, they watched the show with great interest.

The crowd, engrossed in their discussion, failed to notice the changes that had occurred on Su Chen's side.

The man in white saw Su Chen, who was surrounded by them and was struggling to break free of his prison. He couldn't help but sneer, "You think you can break through our offensive? You're just dreaming! Hmph, it's nothing but a last-ditch effort."

The supernatural prison formed by hundreds of people is not something that can be broken easily. Even He Qiu might not be able to do it, so how could Su Chen possibly do it, especially when Su Chen is injured?

After glancing at it a few times, he decided not to waste any more time and ordered the remaining disciples of the Holy Origin Sect, "Make your move!"

Many disciples of the Holy Origin Sect had been waiting for a long time. With a command, everyone unleashed their vast Yuan Power. They might not be as powerful as He Qiu, but when all their Yuan Power was poured into the formation, the resulting aura was quite astonishing, and so was its power.

In a fraction of a second, the attack coalesced and focused on the man in white.

Holding up Yuan Power, he stood suspended in mid-air like a god supporting the sky. The white-robed man looked at Su Chen with a fierce glint in his eyes. Just as he was about to make a move, his gaze suddenly froze, and a look of surprise rose from the depths of his eyes, quickly filling his entire pupils.

Under his gaze, Su Chen, who should have been waiting to die, broke free of their prison like a cicada emerging from its cocoon.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this scene, the man in white sensed something was wrong and made a decisive move, shaking his arm and unleashing a torrent of Yuan energy.

boom!
The moment the man in white unleashed his Yuan Power, the void trembled violently.

The boundless Yuan energy quickly transformed into a massive mountain, pressing down upon Su Chen.

Having absorbed the energy of the departing crowd, Su Chen's injuries had mostly healed. Now, seeing the white-robed man and the others make their move again, he grinned and advanced instead of retreating. A surge of chaotic energy rose around him, transforming into light and shadow as he charged towards the immensely powerful mountain.

"Is he courting death?"

The man in white was taken aback for a moment when Su Chen took the initiative to fight, but then a smile appeared on his face. Although he didn't know what gave Su Chen the confidence to do this, such behavior was undoubtedly courting death.

"Senior Brother Feng, look! Our Yuan Power seems to be being eroded!"

Just then, a cry of surprise interrupted his smugness. The white-robed man looked closely and saw that the mountain formed by their Yuan Power was now being corrupted, rapidly turning into a chaotic color.

In no time, the entire mountain shrank by half, and its exterior was completely shrouded in a chaotic color.

"Hahaha, Su Chen, it's like someone delivered a pillow when we're sleepy. You and I were just injured in the battle just now, and these people couldn't wait to give us Yuan energy. Little do they know that you can absorb and refine this Yuan energy to replenish yourself. By doing this, they are simply digging their own grave!"

Within the mountains, the Heaven-Slaying Blade, frantically absorbing Yuan energy to heal its wounds, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Even he hadn't expected such a dramatic turn of events.

Su Chen laughed and said, "Thanks to the so-called great formation they mentioned, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to absorb their Yuan energy to heal my injuries!"

It is true that the power of primordial chaos can absorb primordial energy, but it is far from easy. The process is complicated and takes time.

If there were enough time, Su Chen might be able to use the power of Hunyuan to absorb the Yuan energy of others to heal his injuries, but right now there isn't that much time. The speed at which he refines Yuan energy is probably slower than the speed at which the Holy Yuan Sect's killing move will strike.

Therefore, Su Chen did not initially intend to absorb the Yuan energy, but instead planned to force his way out.

However, the effect of the Primordial Chaos Power in absorbing Primordial Energy was unexpected.

It seemed that because the disciples of the Holy Origin Sect had used an array to gather their Yuan energy, their Yuan energy became very easy to be refined and absorbed by the Primordial Chaos Power. This greatly shortened Su Chen's time. Under Su Chen's full urging, it was not long before he had refined all of these people's Yuan energy and transformed it into Primordial Chaos Power, which healed his own and Duan Tian Dao's injuries.

They probably didn't expect that their painstaking attack would ultimately benefit Su Chen.

Therefore, upon seeing them make their move again, Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao rushed into the mountains without saying a word.

This isn't an attack targeting them at all; it's clearly an attack that's sending them energy.

Upon entering the mountain, Su Chen released his Primordial Chaos Power, which quickly enveloped the mountain. He then frantically refined this Primordial Power. As the Primordial Power was continuously eroded, refined, and absorbed, the injuries on Su Chen and the Broken Sky Blade rapidly healed.

In the end, both of them had fully recovered from their injuries, but they still had about two or three layers of Yuan energy left. Su Chen didn't waste it and absorbed it all to strengthen himself.

Outside, everyone watched the sudden change with furrowed brows. Reason told them that Su Chen was doomed in the face of the Holy Origin Sect's offensive, but the changes before their eyes made them suspicious, and they vaguely felt that things were developing differently from what they had expected.

After a short while, when the darkness faded and Su Chen's figure was revealed, everyone was stunned.

"Su Chen, how is he still alive?!"

The man in white stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost, his soul nearly leaving his body.

"Oh no! He's about to attack Senior Brother He Qiu! Stop him!"

However, the white-clad man's expression changed drastically the next moment.

Because he noticed that Su Chen had appeared and was flying directly towards He Qiu, he quickly shouted.

But it was too late. Before anyone could react, Su Chen had already arrived above He Qiu.

How can we stop it?

She could only watch helplessly as Su Chen's attack pierced the air, carrying unparalleled power, and crashed down from the sky like a meteorite onto He Qiu below! (End of Chapter)
