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

"No, that's impossible!"

Zhu Jiuyou was shocked by the strength that Zhu Yan had displayed.

Wu Jixian!
It was actually Martial Immortal!

Zhu Yan actually broke through to the realm of Martial Immortal.

This was the realm he had always dreamed of, a realm that even he hadn't been able to break through.

But now, he has been surpassed by Zhu Yan, whom he looked down upon, which has shocked him and filled him with a deep sense of resentment.

Why!
Zhu Jiuyou roared inwardly, his handsome face contorting into a ferocious expression.

At this moment, his mindset changed because of Zhu Yan's breakthrough.

He even hoped that Zhu Yan would die in this battle.

Even if the Heavenly Demon wins, it doesn't matter!

However, judging from the current state of the battle, it is impossible to determine a winner in a short period of time.

After Zhu Yan broke through, with the help of the Heaven-Slaying Blade, his strength increased greatly, making him no weaker than Su Chen and the Heaven-Slaying Blade combined.

After all, he is now a true Martial Immortal.

With the Heaven-Slaying Blade, he was even stronger than Gu Xiaoyao in combat.

Gu Xiaoyao also noticed this, so the alliance between the two gradually shifted from being led by him at the beginning to being led by Zhu Yan now.

Gu Xiaoyao assisted Zhu Yan from the side, making it easier to restrain Abiluo.

Boom boom boom!
The sounds of fighting were endless.

The power of the battle between three cultivators at the Martial Immortal Realm was terrifying.

The sky and the earth trembled during the battle between the three, and the air and light became distorted as a result.

Faced with the combined forces of Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao, Abiluo's expression turned solemn.

The two worked together very well. If it were him ten years ago, he would have been completely overwhelmed by them at this moment.

In time, he will be the one to lose.

Unfortunately, he is no longer the same as before; after his breakthrough, he is even stronger.

"Not good, Senior!"

Zhu Yan was shocked to see Abiluo unleashing the power of law on Gu Xiaoyao and quickly warned her.

Neither of them had comprehended the power of the laws, and their understanding of the laws was inferior to that of Abiro.

Once the opponent uses the power of laws to deal with them, they can only dodge, not confront them head-on.

Gu Xiaoyao also noticed Abiluo's attack and quickly used his Gu worms to dodge it.

His strength may not be great, but in terms of various methods, even Abiro might not be his match.

"Zhu Yan, I have a way to deal with him, but I need your cooperation!"

After dodging, Gu Xiaoyao transmitted his voice to Zhu Yan.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan quickly replied, "Okay, I'll do it if you need me to."

"Hold him off for ten breaths."

After leaving behind a message, Gu Xiaoyao left the battlefield.

Abiro, who was standing nearby, also saw it, but he didn't pay attention to it because Zhu Yan appeared in front of him at that moment.

In order to delay Abiluo, Zhu Yan directly mobilized the immortal power within his body and gathered it on the Heaven-Severing Blade.

In an instant, the Heaven-Severing Blade shone with boundless light, like a blazing sun, gathering energy from all directions.

"cut!"

There were no fancy moves, no exquisite techniques, just a simple slash.

A tremendous blade of light, piercing the heavens and earth, cleaved out, tearing through space, and swept towards Abiro with overwhelming force.

"what?!"

Upon seeing this, Abiro's expression suddenly changed; the energy contained in this strike was so powerful that even he was terrified.

However, there was little worry on his face. He smiled slightly and said, "In the end, it's just superficial!"

Facing Zhu Yan's overwhelmingly powerful strike, Abilu lightly tapped her toes a few times in the void, and with a few leaps, she seemed to disappear into the void.

boom!
The blade's edge fell in the blink of an eye, and the entire world seemed to explode in that instant.

As the cold light cleaved through the earth, a deep ravine, thousands of meters deep, was carved out, stretching to the horizon.

shocking.

A cloud of dust billowed into the sky, engulfing the world within a radius of ten thousand meters.

However, the place where Zhu Yan and the others were was clear and bright, without any change whatsoever.

"died?"

Zhu Jiuyou stared at Abiluo, who had disappeared into the dust, and couldn't help but wonder.

But he immediately shook his head, dismissing the thought.

Sure enough, the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and what was reflected in his eyes was Abiro's figure.

However, he wasn't in the dust; instead, he appeared silently behind Zhu Yan.

Even Zhu Yan was unaware of this.

The moment I saw Abiro, a mixture of astonishment and surprise welled up inside me.

To everyone's surprise, Abiluo dodged Zhu Yan's attack, and the delighted Zhu Yan was about to be killed by Abiluo.

"Get out of the way!"

However, just as Abiluo was about to make her move, Gu Xiaoyao noticed in time and loudly informed Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan felt a chill run down his spine and, without even looking behind him, dodged away.

"Trying to get away? No way!"

Abiro grinned, and a fist containing terrifying power exploded out.

The surging power caused even space itself to collapse layer by layer, at a speed that Zhu Yan couldn't react to at all.

Bang!
Finally, the punch struck Zhu Yan's body squarely, producing a deafening impact.

In less than three breaths of collision, Zhu Yan was sent flying backward in a disheveled state by the impact of this force.

They only calmed down after retreating more than a kilometer away.

"Are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Gu Xiaoyao quickly came to Zhu Yan's side and asked.

Zhu Yan didn't speak, but coughed lightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although he mobilized his power to stop it at the critical moment, and was protected by the Heaven-Severing Blade, he ultimately underestimated Abiro's power.

Upon being struck, the force instantly broke through the combined power of the two individuals, entered his body, and began to wreak havoc.

Perhaps his physical body had already been strengthened by immortal power, or perhaps Abiluo showed mercy, so he was only injured and did not die.

"I'm fine. How's your plan coming along?"

Zhu Yan looked at Gu Xiaoyao and asked urgently.

While he is still able to fight, they plan to eliminate Abiro as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

Gu Xiaoyao nodded after hearing this: "Okay, you can fight him again, and you'll know then."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and used the healing Gu to treat Zhu Yan's injuries.

Injuries at the Martial Immortal level cannot be completely cured in a short time, but at least it can be guaranteed that Zhu Yan's injuries will not recur.

"Alright!" Zhu Yan hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Duan Tian Dao did not refuse, he finally nodded.

He stood before Abiro once more, confronting her from a distance.

Abiluo was not surprised to see that Zhu Yan was still alive. What surprised him was that Zhu Yan, despite being seriously injured, was still trying to commit suicide.

He had assumed that Gu Xiaoyao would be the next to make a move. However, to him, it wouldn't matter who made the move; the final outcome would remain the same.

"Come again!"

Zhu Yan roared, raised his hand, gathered his strength, and slashed down.

The entire sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, but its power was significantly reduced compared to before.

Just as he was wondering what method Gu Xiaoyao had, he suddenly discovered that the blade light he unleashed seemed to be enhanced by some kind of power.

"This is the power of the Gu worms, which can increase the power of your moves by three times!"

At this moment, Gu Xiaoyao's somewhat weak voice came through. Using such Gu worms was extremely taxing on his mind and spirit, and even he could not use them many times.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's expression turned slightly surprised, and his eyes stared straight ahead.

The blade's power and speed, enhanced by the Gu worms, far exceeded the speed of sound, even showing a tendency to rival the speed of light.

Even Abiro was startled at such close range and instinctively wanted to dodge.

But he soon realized he couldn't dodge in time and had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

Left with no other choice, Abiluo could only muster all her strength to resist the blade's edge.

boom!
The blade's edge slashed down, and the world fell silent.

The next moment, a deafening sound erupted.

Unlike before, this time, only the aftershocks impacted the earth, leaving behind gullies that were not as deep as before.

Even from a great distance, Zhu Yan could see Abiluo's small figure beneath the blade's edge, looking somewhat disheveled under the impact of the immense power.

Finally, unable to hold on any longer, Abiro's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed into countless mountain peaks along the way, flying more than 10,000 meters away.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao hurriedly chased after them. When they arrived, they found that Abiluo was already standing in mid-air, waiting for their arrival.

However, Abiro looked quite disheveled compared to before.

He was disheveled, dressed in rags, and had blood on his lips, looking like a beggar.

Looking at Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao's figures, Abiluo's eyes flashed with anger. She never expected that she would be made so embarrassed by two people who were not as strong as herself.

Although he only suffered minor injuries, if the two of them used that move again, he would probably have no choice but to retreat.

"Ahem, you shouldn't be able to use that move anymore, right?"

Abilu clutched her chest and asked tentatively.

Gu Xiaoyao saw through his intentions and chuckled, "You can try."

Zhu Yan didn't speak. He wasn't sure either, but he was very confident. He couldn't show any weakness at this time.

As long as the stalemate continues, they can buy time for Su Chen. When Su Chen emerges from seclusion, it will be Abiluo's death day.

Abiro didn't take Su Chen seriously. He guessed their purpose, but didn't think Su Chen could do anything to him.

What he feared most was the combined attack of the two of them!

At this moment, Gu Xiaoyao transmitted his voice to Zhu Yan, informing him of the situation: "Zhu Yan, I can only use it once more, so let's not use it if we don't need to."

The first time was because Abiro underestimated her opponent; if she were to use it again, it might not be able to injure Abiro.

Once the supply is used up, it will no longer be able to deter them, and the situation will be very unfavorable for the two of them.

Zhu Yan was aware of the consequences, and after thinking for a while, he came up with an idea: "Then you can keep it for now. I'll let you know if I need it!"

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, time slowly passing, neither making the first move, and even tending to their injuries in front of the other.

However, this situation did not last long.

Suddenly, an unexpected surge of energy shattered the tranquility.

The three looked over and saw the figure rushing towards them.

The moment they saw that figure, both Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao's expressions changed.

On the other hand, Abiro smiled, for the figure was none other than the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince did not come because of Abiluo's message. Rather, he had been waiting for too long and suddenly realized that Zhu Yan and the others might have gone directly to Abiluo, so he left and prepared to head back.

When he arrived nearby, he heard a noise and followed it to the location.

Sure enough, he spotted Abiluo and Zhu Yan from afar. He was stunned when he saw Abiluo.

I never expected that the usually powerful Abiro would be turned into this.

"Father!" He quickly came to his senses and came to Abiro's side.

Abiro laughed loudly: "You've come at the right time! Stop that old man for me!"

"Yes!"

The prince nodded and turned his gaze to Gu Xiaoyao.

"Do you want to take action?"

"Do it!!"

Meanwhile, Zhu Yan and Abiluo were secretly negotiating.

Zhu Yan didn't hesitate and quickly replied, "If we don't act now, it will be even more difficult to do so later."

However, just as Gu Xiaoyao had predicted, Abiluo, who had been on guard against the two, noticed the moment they made their move.

"Get out of the way!"

Abilu leaped and appeared before the prince.

Before he could react, they grabbed his body and fled into the void.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan wanted to stop Gu Xiaoyao, but it was too late.

Gu Xiaoyao had already enhanced his blade with three times the power of the Gu worms, and with a loud boom, the sound was equally earth-shattering.

Unfortunately, it failed to cause any harm to Abiro and the Crown Prince.

Once the prince realized what was happening, he witnessed the power of this force and broke out in a cold sweat.

He instinctively shrank his neck; if he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

Only then did he realize that Abiro must have been injured by this move.

Abiro, upon seeing this, was equally shaken.

He looked at Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Don't panic, they don't know for now that we can't use this trick again!"

Gu Xiaoyao remained calm and transmitted his voice to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan's tense nerves relaxed slightly. He knew that now it was a battle of wits.

As long as Abiro doesn't know the real situation, he won't take any more action, even with the Crown Prince's support.

Indeed, Abiro's expression shifted between light and shadow, yet she hesitated to make a move.

Boom boom boom!
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate again, a surge of immense energy erupted from the ground, like a volcanic eruption, shooting straight into the heavens.

Whether it was Abiluo, the Crown Prince, or Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao, they were all shocked by this energy.

"It's Su Chen!"

Gu Xiaoyao exchanged a glance and realized that it was Su Chen who had made the commotion. At the same time, they also knew what Su Chen was doing.

"He's about to break through to the Martial Immortal realm!"

Gu Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh. How long had it been? Su Chen was about to break through again!
Is there really no bottleneck in his cultivation?
"Oh no, that kid is about to break through!"

Abiro's expression darkened slightly, and she turned to the Crown Prince, saying, "Go and stop him!"

The prince nodded, but before he could make a move, he was stopped by Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao:

"Don't even think about it!" (End of Chapter)
