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

"Look, it seems like something's happened to the Yuan Gang?"

"Isn't that Su Chen? What's he doing at the Yuan Gang?"

"I heard that Su Chen and the Yuan Gang have been at odds for a long time. Now that he has advanced to the Martial Immortal realm, he might be going to the Yuan Gang this time to take revenge on them."

"Hiss, isn't he being far too arrogant? The Yuan Gang has more than just one Martial Immortal behind them!"

"Isn't he afraid that Bi Tianyu will come after him?"

“Bi Tianyu doesn’t seem to be in Ziyang City, otherwise Su Chen wouldn’t be so presumptuous.”

"Bi Tianyu's search for Su Chen is a matter for later. Right now, the Yuan Gang should first weather Su Chen's revenge."

"..."

Within Ziyang City, many people had already noticed the Yuan Gang's protective array and were constantly monitoring the Yuan Gang's situation.

They simply didn't know what had happened inside.

Some astute people wondered what this white mist was all about, but they couldn't understand who would dare to cause trouble for the Yuan Gang within Ziyang City.

Isn't that just courting death?

The moment the protective array was broken, everyone realized that the person who had been causing trouble for the Yuan Gang was actually Su Chen.

Many people have never met Su Chen, and most are simply curious about him.

After all, during this period, Su Chen had become a prominent figure in the Ziyang Sect and even Ziyang City, enjoying unparalleled fame.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen is now clashing with the Yuan Gang.

Many people are full of expectations for this, after all, the Yuan Gang is too domineering. If Su Chen can curb their arrogance and vent their anger, it would be a good thing.

Within the Yuan Gang.

Looking at the dead people, Wu Xingrong was already furious and his face turned black. He didn't care about his own injuries.

These people are not small fry; they are the backbone of the Yuan Gang. The death of one or two may not matter, but the death of so many may paralyze the entire Yuan Gang.

"Su Chen, what exactly do you want to do?" Zhou Tai was terrified. Having truly witnessed Su Chen's prowess, he no longer had the courage to fight.

Even the protective array is no match for Su Chen; perhaps only Bi Tianyu's personal arrival could contend with him.

However, Bi Tianyu is temporarily unable to appear. If they remain obstinate, Su Chen can easily kill them.

He didn't want to die; he wanted to have a calm talk with Su Chen.

"Zhou Tai, stop wasting your breath on him!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Xingrong, who was furious, seemed to know what Zhou Tai was thinking and interrupted him without any politeness.

Wu Xingrong stared at Su Chen, his eyes blazing with fury, almost crazed, and shouted, "Su Chen, this matter is not over today!"

Having killed so many members of the Yuan Gang, Bi Tianyu would never let Su Chen go, no matter what.

"Hehe, I know you rely on Bi Tianyu and the Holy Origin Sect, but you seem unaware that I have already offended Bi Tianyu and the Holy Origin Sect!"

Su Chen chuckled. Many people knew that he had offended the Holy Yuan Sect, but few knew that he had offended Bi Tianyu.

Back in the Demon Cave, Bi Tianyu's subordinates had prevented him from escaping. Although this debt wasn't directly inflicted by the other party, it was indirectly related to him. In addition, considering the matter of his master Hong Ming and others, he decided to settle both old and new scores together.

“You…” Wu Xingrong was taken aback, not by Su Chen’s words.

Instead, they noticed Su Chen's attitude; he seemed completely unconcerned about Bi Tianyu and the Holy Origin Sect's retaliation.

Su Chen naturally wouldn't explain. The Yuan Gang was just the beginning; next would be the Sheng Yuan Sect. If Bi Tianyu wasn't satisfied, then he would be the last one to be punished.

At his level of strength, there was little in the world that he could fear.

This can be seen from the fact that they took action against the Yuan Gang.

Normally, he might have had to consider many things, and even explain to the sect leader Ji Ziyang, but now, he doesn't need to explain anything. He can act as he pleases, and no one dares to stop him.

"Do you people of the Holy Origin Sect really enjoy sneaking around and hiding?"

Just as Su Chen was about to make a move, he suddenly looked up at the sky and his voice echoed throughout the heavens.

"Su Chen, how dare you act so recklessly within the Yuan Gang! Do you really think that no one in Ziyang City can control you!"

A thunderclap sounded in the clear sky, followed by a loud shout, and then a figure dressed as if draped in stars and moonlight descended with a bang.

He stood on the void, surrounded by golden light, with a golden mountain looming behind him, giving him a sense of weight and solidity.

He was tall and slender, with a youthful face covered in a full head of silver hair, which seemed to float with starlight, appearing and disappearing in the breeze.

As soon as this person appeared, Su Chen sensed that the other party's strength was that of a Martial Immortal of the same realm as him.

However, the aura of laws flowing around him indicates that this person's strength is higher than Su Chen's, at least above the Lesser Completion Realm.

"Yuan Sifang!"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and recognized the other party's background; he was the sect leader of the Holy Origin Sect.

Upon seeing Yuan Sifang appear, Wu Xingrong and Zhou Tai were both overjoyed. Wu Xingrong stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We beg Sect Leader Yuan to do us justice. This man has been wreaking havoc within the Yuan Gang, killing many of our brothers. We urge Sect Leader Yuan to capture and kill him!"

Zhou Tai opened his mouth, but wisely remained silent.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Sifang glanced around and his expression darkened slightly.

As a member of the Ziyang Sect, how could Su Chen not know that the Yuan Gang was one of the forces supported by their Shengyuan Sect?

But Su Chen still did it anyway, and he absolutely did not believe that the reason was intentional.

He then looked at Su Chen and questioned, "Su Chen, what else do you have to say?"

This was the first time he had met Su Chen. Although he had heard about Su Chen's age before, he was still somewhat surprised when he actually met him.

The awe-inspiring impact of the few words spoken by the Martial Immortal, who was not even a hundred years old, is self-evident.

Reaching the Martial Immortal realm typically takes hundreds or thousands of years. Even among the top experts of ancient times, none reached this level before the age of one hundred. Su Chen's achievement might not be unprecedented, but it is certainly unparalleled in history.
Calling him a prodigy is no exaggeration; at least in terms of cultivation speed, Bi Tianyu is completely incomparable to him.

If allowed to continue growing, it is not impossible for it to cultivate to a higher realm in the future, and even break through to the Martial Immortal realm.

Such a person is sought after by any force, even the Holy Origin Sect.

Unfortunately, they were already at odds with Su Chen.

It's just unknown what Su Chen's attitude towards the Holy Origin Sect is now, ten years later.

His appearance today was not because of the Yuan Gang, but because he wanted to see Su Chen's attitude.

If Su Chen wants to deal with the Yuan Gang because of the Holy Yuan Sect, then it means that Su Chen still holds a grudge about what happened ten years ago.

At that time, he will spare no effort to eliminate Su Chen.

He would not hesitate to offend the Ziyang Sect for this. However, if Su Chen was only targeting the Yuan Gang because of his relatives and friends, he would consider compromising and reconciling with Su Chen.

Even if we can't be friends, we absolutely cannot be enemies.

After all, even with his cultivation level and the foundation of the Holy Origin Sect, killing Su Chen would not be an easy task.

"Speechless!" Su Chen shrugged, not intending to argue.

Killing is killing. So many people saw it, so many corpses. There's no need to lie.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Sifang gave Su Chen a deep look and suddenly laughed, "Since that's the case, then you should give me an explanation for this matter!"

His tone was gentle, seemingly demanding an explanation from Su Chen, but in reality, he was simply giving Su Chen a way out.

"Sect Master Yuan!" Wu Xingrong was clearly stunned when he heard this. He wanted to speak, but Zhou Tai stopped him.

Given the current situation, there was no room for the two of them to speak.

Moreover, from Yuan Sifang's tone, he could tell that the other party did not seem to want to be enemies with Su Chen.

Therefore, today's matter will probably end without a resolution. If Wu Xingrong jumps out again, he will not only anger Su Chen, but also Yuan Sifang. Of course, most importantly, he will implicate himself, and he does not want to be implicated.

Wu Xingrong, who was stopped by Zhou Tai, saw something in the other man's eyes, gritted his teeth, and swallowed all his words.

Upon hearing Yuan Sifang's words, Su Chen was also taken aback, naturally understanding the implied meaning behind them.

"This matter is not over yet. After it's over, I will give you the explanation you deserve." Su Chen shook his head, his voice still cold.

"Is there anything else?" Yuan Sifang noticed something was off about Su Chen's tone and asked.

Su Chen looked at Wu Xingrong and Zhou Tai and said calmly, "They're not dead yet, so how can this matter be considered over?"

The two men had just tried to kill him; how could the matter end without killing them?

"Su Chen, I understand what you mean, but these two are the last backbone members of the Yuan Gang. Could you give me some face and let this matter rest?"

Yuan Sifang glanced at the angry Wu Xingrong and Zhou Tai, thought for a moment, and said.

Yuan Gang is ultimately Bi Tianyu's Yuan Gang, and Wu Xingrong is Bi Tianyu's man. He can sit idly by while Zhou Tai is indifferent, but he cannot ignore Wu Xingrong's life or death. Moreover, these words are also a test of Su Chen.

"Heh!" Su Chen sneered, not answering, but proving his point with his actions.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Sifang's expression changed slightly. He then made his move, waving his hand. A beam of light flew out from his sleeve and swept away Wu Xingrong and Zhou Tai in the blink of an eye. Just as he swept away the two, Su Chen's attack landed, and the building below collapsed and turned into dust.

"You won't listen to reason, Su Chen. I'm giving you face, but you don't want it. Don't blame me for being impolite!"

With the negotiations failing, Yuan Sifang showed no more politeness. His peaceful demeanor instantly turned into a volcanic rage as he glared at Su Chen.

"Su Chen, do you think you can be so presumptuous in front of me just because you defeated the patriarch of the Zhu Dynasty? Today, I will show you my power!"

These words startled everyone in the crowd.

"What? Su Chen even fought against the ancestor of the Zhu Dynasty? When did that happen?"

"Not only that, but they also defeated their opponent?"

"How is this possible? No matter what, the Zhu family patriarch is stronger than Su Chen."

Why hasn't any news about this been sent over?

"Wait a minute, didn't they say a while ago that the Zhu dynasty had confirmed a new emperor? Could it be related to this?"

No one expected that Su Chen would defeat the patriarch of the Zhu Dynasty. Amidst the surprise, there was even more confusion as to why no word of it had been heard in Ziyang City.

Or is Yuan Sifang lying?

But on second thought, Yuan Sifang would not lie at this time, deliberately boosting the morale of others and diminishing his own.

In other words, this is true.

It is highly likely that the Zhu dynasty suppressed the news.

Yuan Sifang ignored the crowd's discussion, snorted coldly, and made his move.

Having decided to take action, he did so without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed his killing move, and the golden mountain behind him instantly became tangible.

In the instant of change, Jinshan detached from its body, then soared up and transformed into a giant golden cleaver.

This is formed from the power of his laws.

The Martial Immortals of the Ten Directions World cultivate the Five Elements Law, but even the Five Elements Law is divided into multiple branches.

Each branch has numerous rules, and trying to master them all is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Therefore, each Martial Immortal chooses the law they are most proficient in to cultivate, and his is the law of metal.

This golden sword is the manifestation of the power of laws he has cultivated over the years.

The moment the golden blade appeared, half the sky turned golden, and the golden light that filled the sky seemed to be the sharp edge of the blade.

The air rippled under the cutting of these blades, spreading outwards in all directions.

Beneath the golden blade, it seemed as if even the earth itself was being cleaved apart by the cutting laws surging from its body.

"cut!"

Yuan Sifang let out a soft shout, and the golden blade shot out like light and lightning. Sometimes it transformed into a mountain to suppress the universe, and sometimes it transformed into a golden blade to cut through space and time. The speed was so fast that even the naked eye could not distinguish it. All that could be seen was that the golden light surged in like a tide and instantly occupied the sky.

"Then let's see whose knife is sharper!"

Su Chen's eyes flickered as he watched the golden blade hurtling towards him. A sense of anticipation rose in his heart, and the Heaven-Slaying Blade in his hand trembled violently. He couldn't wait to take action and clash with it.

The reason for this is related to the rules used by the four fundamental directions.

The laws it uses might help the Heaven-Slaying Blade comprehend the power of laws.

Moreover, this golden sword shares similarities with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!"

Without hesitation, Su Chen flipped his hand, and the Heaven-Severing Blade responded and landed in his hand.

The instant his palm touched the hilt of the sword, a sharp aura surged forth, shooting out like a waterfall as Su Chen's sword rose and fell, transforming into a streak of light in the void and crashing head-on into the golden sword.

The golden and gray-black light seemed to be cutting the sky in two.

Boom boom boom!
The two sharp energies collided instantly, unleashing a deafening roar. The ripples beneath the sound waves carried unparalleled power, spreading out like a tide and turning the sky into a chaotic world.

The blinding light caused everyone watching the battle to close their eyes. Even those martial artists who could barely keep their eyes open had no choice but to retreat upon sensing this terrifying power.

Su Chen and Yuan Sifang, who were caught in the chaos, remained completely unaffected. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two instantly disappeared into the chaos and resumed their fierce battle! (End of Chapter)
