The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 642 Chase in the City, Fierce Battle in the Night Sky (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Whoosh!
A bluish-gray light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, streaked across the night sky, leaving a dazzling long tail.

Within the flowing light was an elderly man in a long robe with deep-set eyes. His eyelashes were as black as raven feathers, and a bluish-gray Buddhist nail was embedded between his brows. His hair was gray-white, like lingering snow.

The old man's expression was gloomy, filled with unspeakable anger.

Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen in Canglong Prefecture, the central city of a prefecture?

The old man was incredibly fast, covering a distance of tens of feet in the blink of an eye. This level of speed far surpassed that of ordinary grandmasters.

The flight was not some kind of true energy lifting it up or some kind of maneuvering, but rather true aerial flight in the real sense!

Based on the power of the soul, it resisted the force of falling to the ground, a rainbow pierced the sun, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds.

"Whoever dares to make a move in Canglong Prefecture City, they shall all stay here!"

The old man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a hint of anger flickered across them.

Even a clay figure has a bit of temper.

The Sect Leader attended the Azure Dragon Exchange, while the Xuanhuang Absolute Sword went out to deal with the unrest. He was the only one in charge of Canglong Prefecture. Although he had been in seclusion for a long time, he could not possibly turn a blind eye to such a terrible thing happening in the city.

He would lose face if he didn't give an explanation tonight.

Whoosh!
With shimmering light, the old man traversed a long distance at an incredible speed, arriving at the mansion.

It's Li Wusheng's residence!
The old man's expression turned strange. He unleashed his divine soul power and instantly locked onto the figure that had just flown to the outside of the courtyard.

Whoosh!
With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Ping'an collected the Azure Flame Four Directions Command Flags that were hovering in mid-air.

boom!
He raised his hand and blasted away, and all the traces around him were buried in debris.

And just as he finished doing all that, that rainbow-like streak of light was already approaching.

"withdraw!"

Chen Ping'an, his gray robes fluttering, revealed himself without holding back, his spiritual light dazzling beyond description, transforming into a streak of light as he flew away into the distance.

"Where to go!"

A loud shout rang out in the sky, like thunder, shaking people's hearts.

If a weaker martial arts practitioner were to face such a loud and explosive shout, they would probably freeze in place and be unable to move.

However, it was clear that these methods had no effect on Chen Ping'an.

The old man clearly understood this principle as well, and almost at the same time, a streak of bluish-gray light shot towards the gray-robed figure in the distance.

call out!
The light was extremely fast. If you looked closely, you could see that what was wrapped in the light was a bluish-gray flying nail, exuding a sharp intent.

This flying nail, its head gleaming, shimmered with an indescribable sharpness.

The Forbidden-Breaking Nail, empowered by the power of the divine soul, possesses the ability to break through restrictions.

Even the protective barrier of a martial arts grandmaster can be easily pierced, as easily as a piece of thin paper.

"So fast!"

Sensing the flying nails hurtling towards him from behind, Chen Ping'an was slightly startled.

This was his first time fighting against a senior expert above the Grandmaster level, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

hum~
On his brow and spiritual platform, nine spiritual patterns deeply embedded in the spiritual fruit shone brightly, bursting forth with indescribable brilliance in an instant.

His true energy flowed around his body, instantly condensing in his hands.

Seven Killing Heavenly Fist, the third kill, Frenzied Kill.

Secret Technique: Frenzied Slaughter, Shadow Frenzy!

boom!
A surge of incredibly violent true energy swept across the sky, unleashing a barrage of fist shadows imbued with madness and embodying Chen Ping'an's martial will, as they hurtled towards the gray-blue flying nails behind him.

His madness ran rampant, and his killing intent was unrestrained.

His fist techniques were frenzied, his shadow dancing wildly.

A frenzied slaughter, a wild dance that shakes the world!

The wind howled, and the sound exploded.

The bluish-gray flying nails burst forth with fierce intent, colliding violently with the fist's momentum.

Puffy!
Countless explosions ignited the entire night sky and alarmed the entire Canglong Prefecture city.

“What a big noise!”

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"."

hum~ hum~ hum~
Although the flying nails were sharp, they were not large-scale offensive weapons after all, and they were defeated under the barrage of punches.

The light flickered and fell helplessly to the ground.

"what?"

The old man's expression changed slightly.

Although this flying nail is not a great treasure, it is still a divine weapon of considerable quality. With the blessing of his divine soul power, 99% of the grandmasters in the world would definitely not be able to withstand the sharpness of his attack.

But
The opponent not only succeeded, but also destroyed his flying spikes.

Even though the old man had expected it, he was still surprised at this moment.

It's important to understand that there's a fundamental qualitative difference between spiritual power and true essence. This difference cannot be bridged by any amount of quantity.

The fact that the opponent was able to shoot down his flying nail in such a short time indicates that the opponent's spiritual foundation was so profound that it was beyond description.

His martial arts foundation far surpasses that of his younger self.

hum~
A round, bluish-gray mirror, about the size of a palm, quietly appeared above the old man.

With just this one strike, he had abandoned any sense of contempt.

Although the opponent has not reached the level of a Grandmaster, his martial arts foundation is absolutely comparable to that of a Grandmaster.

Which powerful figure on the Power Rankings is it?

The old man's gray hair moved without wind, and in an instant, a beam of blue light shot out from the gray-blue round mirror above him.

The beam of light was not large, about the thickness of an adult's arm, but its speed was far beyond imagination.

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even a grandmaster would probably die before he could even react.

call out!
The beam of light, a brilliant bluish-gray, descended with a deafening roar, striking the gray-robed figure who was fleeing in the distance.

But there was no joy on the old man's face.

In the distance, a beam of light passed through and crashed down on the building below, creating a violent roar.

Rumble~
With a single blow, the large building below collapsed with a deafening roar.

Countless shrill screams echoed from below.

"what!"

"My hand! My hand!"

"The building collapsed!"

"."

Whoosh!
Chen Ping'an's figure flickered, and he reappeared dozens of feet away.

"so close!"

Chen Ping'an was slightly startled; the speed of that bluish-gray beam of light far exceeded that of anyone he had ever fought before.

If it weren't for his solid foundation, abundant spirituality, and keen perception, he probably would have had to confront that attack head-on just now.

Furthermore, with his spiritual energy fully activated, his speed had already reached its limit. Although he did not use any movement techniques, the innate footwork and movement techniques bestowed by the Golden Finger panel seemed to have become instinctive at this moment.

With the full support of true spiritual energy, he was granted indescribable speed.

Chen Ping'an's brow shone brightly as he pushed his true essence to its limit.

At this moment, facing the pursuit of someone above the Grandmaster level, he felt no fear, but rather extreme excitement.

excited!

Yes, it's excitement!

From the very beginning of his cultivation, he had longed for a thrilling and exhilarating battle.

But the reality of his environment, the crisis of survival, and the anxieties about the future forced him to suppress these thoughts deep in his heart.

Even when he was about to fight Nie Yunlong, his rationality made him suppress it tightly.

Although he is cautious and prudent, how could someone who practices martial arts not have a bit of passion in him?
Even in dire straits, he would still unleash a powerful punch, let alone...
Now is the time!

boom!
As he flew past, Chen Ping'an threw a punch.

With a flick of his finger, the seemingly endless killing intent of the fist vanished completely into thin air.

"court death"

The old man roared, and the bluish-gray round mirror in the sky once again burst forth with dazzling light, as a bluish-gray beam of light crashed down.

Even as he fled, he dared to retaliate. Although the power of his punches was not great, the insult was extremely offensive.

Faced with such provocation from a cultivator of lower realms, how could he tolerate such anger?

The old man's body moved like a stream of light, and the bluish-gray round mirror above him emitted beams of light from time to time.

But each time, the opponent dodged it, and they were just one move behind. The descending beams of light ravaged the city of Canglong.

This infuriated the old man.

He was stationed in Canglong, and while he might not have paid much attention to these ordinary people at the bottom of society, he found this passive situation difficult to accept.

He wanted to unleash a powerful area-of-effect attack, but being in Canglong Prefecture City would have too much of an impact, making him hesitate for a moment.

If the damage is too great, he, as the Grand Master of the Canglong Prefecture Garrison, will also be held responsible.

Furthermore, given the methods the opponent has displayed, even if he unleashes a powerful area-of-effect attack, he might not be able to hold him back.

Suppressing his anger, the old man flew through the air, occasionally unleashing beams of light to obstruct his opponent.

The gray-robed man in front of them dodged repeatedly, but as the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat.

He can miss a hundred times, but his opponent cannot miss even once.

Given the situation, he has the advantage!

However, the old man tried to use the beam of light more than ten times, but none of them hit the opponent.

This caused his expression to change slightly, revealing a hint of surprise and doubt.

"Could it be that some kind of secret technique was used?"

Thinking of this, the old man felt a little calmer.

Once the opponent's secret technique fades, they will be like fish on a chopping board, completely at his mercy.

However, even after flying out of the core urban area of ​​Canglong Prefecture and approaching the edge of the inner city, the old man did not see any fluctuation in the other party's aura, not even the slightest change.

"what happened?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's deep-set eyes.

But soon, the shock in his eyes faded, replaced by a murderous intent.

No matter how powerful or how strong the opponent is, they are ultimately only at the level of a Grandmaster.

Given his cultivation level, I don't believe I can outlast him.

just
He soon realized he was wrong.

The opponent's true energy seemed endless and incredibly powerful, and his flying speed remained unchanged.

As before, they were full of energy and showed no signs of weakness.

Even though he occasionally tried to interfere with the projectiles using beams and flying spikes, he still couldn't achieve the desired result.

His methods did not seem to pose much of a threat to the other party.

The threat from the other party rose to a new level in his mind.

"Just who is this old monster?!"

Such abilities and methods would make one an absolute standout even on the popularity charts!
Such a person could never be an unknown nobody!

The old man's thoughts shifted, and the bluish-gray Buddhist stud between his brows faintly shimmered with light.

He could no longer suppress his killing intent, but when he looked down at the Canglong City below, with its myriad lights, he finally decided to play it safe.

"Outside the city, wait until we're out of the city."

The old man's eyes were sunken, revealing a murderous intent.

"This isn't over yet!" Chen Ping'an's gray robe fluttered as he flew across the night sky.

The opponent was extremely fast, and he only managed to achieve a 50/50 split by using all his strength.

The speed of a full-power burst is completely different from the speed of a normal flight.

Only with his solid foundation, abundant spirituality, and the foundation of nine spiritual patterns could he persist for so long.

Otherwise, the speed would definitely be reduced slightly.

Given the current situation, once he suffers a setback, it's only a matter of time before his opponent catches up with him.

"At this rate, how long will this go on? We can't afford to delay any longer!"

Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences. If he is entangled in this situation for too long, it will definitely be detrimental to him in the long run.

Chen Ping'an glanced at the surrounding environment and made a decision instantly.

"So fast!"

The old man's expression was so gloomy, so intense it seemed as if it were about to drip water.

He personally took action, yet he still ended up in this situation. If word got out, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?

Putting everything else aside, once the Xuanhuang Absolute Sword returns, it will surely mock him.

"Wait a little longer! Just a little longer, and then..."

A murderous intent brewed in the old man's heart; the round mirror hovered in the air, surrounded by flying nails.

Before his thoughts could settle, a sudden change occurred ahead.

A thin green mist filled the surroundings, and within the mist, a fine gray net swelled in the wind, sweeping down upon him at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, a precious mirror appeared in the sky, condensing a mysterious light.

"court death!"

The old man shouted.

He didn't expect that the other party would not only not run away, but would actually dare to stop and fight back.

Just what he wanted!

He flicked his finger, and several date nails shot out. At the same time, the bluish-gray round mirror in mid-air shot out another beam of light.

After doing all this, he used his hand as a knife and delivered a fierce strike.

A divine spirit permeated the air, emanating an indescribable aura.

"Going all out will definitely speed up the activation process!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes were calm as he carefully sensed every subtle change.

The first thing to be hit was his Xuan Guang Bao Jing (Mysterious Light Mirror). Although the speed of the Xuan Guang Bao Jing he activated was much faster, it paled in comparison to the Qing Hui Yuan Jing (Azure Gray Round Mirror).

The mysterious light within the Mystic Mirror was still swirling when it was completely struck by the bluish-gray round mirror.

Click!

In an instant, Chen Ping'an's Xuan Guang Bao Jing suddenly shattered, cracking open in a series of fissures.

Following the Mysterious Mirror, the next target was the surrounding green mist. The old man's hand strike, though seemingly ordinary, unleashed an irresistible force, instantly shattering the mist.

In the distance, a green bamboo tube, emitting a thin mist, glowed with an ethereal light that flickered uncertainly, as if it had suffered a great blow.

The old man's hand-knife power hadn't stopped, and then came the fine gray net.

At the first glance, before any contact was made, the light dimmed and trembled incessantly.

hum~ hum~ hum~
It held on for only a fraction of an instant before shattering completely, splitting in two.

In the instant of their clash, the Mystic Mirror shattered, the green bamboo tube broke, and the gray mesh cracked.

"Where did you find this trash?!"

The old man spoke with a haughty air, his gray hair moving without wind.

"Vulnerable!"

The old man had a keen eye; he saw through the opponent's moves the moment they countered.

The three methods were of ordinary power and none of them posed a threat to him.

Even so, his years of combat experience ensured that he would not be careless in the slightest.

Many masters, who once dominated the scene, ultimately capsized in a ditch.

Judging from the capabilities and methods the other party just displayed, things are probably not that simple.

As the saying goes, all's fair in war.

Many deadly moves are often hidden in seemingly insignificant feints.

Without effective countermeasures, the other party probably wouldn't dare to retaliate rashly.

Faced with such an attack, he naturally had to be cautious.

But at this moment, the crisis was over, and the result was beyond his expectations.

But he felt no unease about it.

The world is a mix of illusion and reality; what is constant in its affairs?
As the saying goes, "There are no fixed formations in warfare, just as water has no fixed shape." One who can adapt to the enemy's changes and win is called a master strategist!
Having reached his level, he has seen and experienced far too many methods.

He was prepared for this situation.

The old man's figure flashed, streaking with light, as he rapidly approached his opponent.

At the same time, the several jujube nails finally broke through all obstacles and flew to Chen Ping'an's front.

boom!
The aura was violent, and blood mist swept across, instantly spreading in all directions.

Pong!
From within the blood mist, an enormous hand emerged, almost encompassing most of the figure, and grasped each of the jujube nails in its grasp. The jujube nails shone brightly, seemingly about to unleash destructive power, but in this giant hand, they failed to stir up much of a disturbance.

The burst of blood mist instantly annihilated the divine soul power attached to the jujube nail.

The old man's expression changed slightly, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

The power of the soul was incredibly resilient, crushing ordinary spirituality, yet the opponent so easily and completely crushed it.

The essence of spirituality far exceeded his previous expectations!
The old man rolled up his sleeve, and the blood mist dissipated.

Before him appeared an immensely powerful figure.

Its entire body was engraved with strange blood patterns and surged with primal power, making it resemble a world-destroying demonic giant.

The Martial Arts Method: The True Form of Ten Thousand Demons!
Endless malevolence surged within the sixteen-foot-tall demon that Chen Ping'an had transformed into.

The move I just made was not without reason.

Besides confusing the eye, it also served as cover. Taking advantage of that brief opening, Chen Ping'an consumed the Bursting Yuan True Pill and the Thousand-Year Stone Milk, and unleashed the Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique!

"The Ten Thousand Demons Cult!"

The old man's face revealed a fierce glint, his murderous intent palpable!
The wicked villain deserves to be killed by everyone!
Wow!
The bluish-gray Buddhist stud between his brows trembled faintly, swirling with a bluish-gray light.

"Noisy!"

Chen Ping'an roared angrily, his voice low and deep, like a death knell.

hum~
A strange, eerie light suddenly emanated from the crimson eyes of the sixteen-foot-tall demon.

The Seven Ultimate Divine Skills, the ultimate secret technique!

A Quatrain on Bewilderment!

A great deal of eerie light appeared and shone directly in front of the old man.

The old man's movements froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

Chen Ping'an sighed inwardly.

Although he was pushing his limits and using the Seven Absolute Secret Techniques, it was clearly overly optimistic and an underestimation of his opponent to think he could defeat them with this.

But it was this gap that gave him the opportunity to unleash the Seven Kill Heavenly Fist at close range, specifically the third kill, Mad Kill, Mad Shadow Chaos.

With a single punch, a madman's shadow swept across the land, the overwhelming barrage of punches completely engulfing the old man in the long robe.

With the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist enhanced by the True Form of Ten Thousand Demons, and aided by the Exploding Yuan True Pill and the power of the Thousand-Year Stone Milk, its power has long surpassed the realm of Grandmaster and has completely touched the threshold of Pseudo-Celestial Being.

Do not!
It's not just touching, it's even more than that!

hum!
Just as Chen Ping'an's fist landed, a bluish-gray Brahma nail suddenly shot out.

Silent and still, without a ripple.

If he hadn't been so perceptive, he might not have even noticed it.

Under the fluctuations of true energy from such a great battle, let alone a supreme grandmaster, even a lower-ranked grandmaster might not be able to react in time to such a killing frenzy.

Or rather, by the time they realized what was happening, the bluish-gray nails had already pierced through their bodies.

"town!"

Chen Ping'an's brows shone with a spiritual light, blood mist filled the air, and he roared.

Beneath the sixteen-foot-tall demonic body, a single punch pressed down!

The saying goes, "The palm breaks the fist, and the fist breaks the fingers."

Although the nail is not a finger, it conveys a similar idea.

Even a Brahma nail can be broken with a fist!
As he unleashed his punch, a golden light trembled around him.

Boom!
The image of Vajra emerged.

At the same time, it carries the meaning of dragon and elephant, and is blessed with a powerful body.

The physique, refined for a long time using the Qingyang Blood Refining Method and with the help of the Earth Dragon's true blood, unleashed its ultimate power at this moment, squeezing out every bit of energy hidden deep within its body.

Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Technique, Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, Myriad Demon Body Forging Technique, Azure Sun Blood Refining Method
Then, with the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist and the Seven Absolute Divine Skill, he fiercely attacked.

This punch, imbued with a lifetime of martial arts will, can shake mountains and push rivers.

Pong!
A deafeningly violent explosion rang out.

The aftershocks created a sonic boom and caused the ground to tremble.

Whoosh!
Chen Ping'an's body flew backward, but he quickly adjusted his posture and stared intently at the old man in the blood-red aura in the distance.

With a swift movement, he left the place.

As he left, a trace of blood seeped from his hands beneath his torn sleeves.

Pong!
The countless fist shadows exploded instantly, turning into aftershocks and ashes.

Space trembled, and a fierce wind swept through.

The old man's figure was revealed amidst the wind and waves.

The old man stood in mid-air, his robe tattered, and his figure somewhat disheveled.

"Pseudo-Celestial Power!"

Although he blocked the opponent's attack, he also paid a heavy price.

The means the other party can use are even greater than what he previously judged.

With his Jade Balance Realm cultivation, he possesses combat power that is completely comparable to, or even surpasses, his own. Such abilities are probably rare even among the top masters on the Wind and Cloud Grandmaster Ranking.

Looking at the distant night sky, at the gray-robed figure streaking across it, the old man's eyes revealed a deep sense of dread.

The opponent is incredibly strong; we cannot pursue them too far.

Although he was not seriously injured after taking the blow, he was still quite badly hurt.

He had already raised his opponent's strength to a level that was completely equal to his own, or even slightly superior.

Under these circumstances, having fully grasped the opponent's strength, he abandoned any plans to pursue them.

If he rashly pursues them, whether he can catch up is another matter. Even if he can catch up, could he possibly stop them on his own?
If they insist on keeping them, the end result will likely be a lose-lose situation.

Currently, among the three major figures in the Canglong Prefecture's Zhenfu Division, only he remains in command. Although he has powerful figures from the Qiankun Division protecting him, they are not affiliated with the same organization, so who knows what plans they are harboring?

If this is used as an excuse to start a fight and fuel the flames, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With the leader absent and Zhang Tianyuan also unavailable, he has to prioritize stability above all else.

"The Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique! The Seven Absolute Divine Skills! He knows the techniques of the Myriad Demons Sect and also possesses the methods of the Heavenly Net Sect. Just who is this old monster?! What is his intention in launching a midnight attack?"

The old man's face was downcast, his expression somber and gloomy.

Today, he's really done for.

Not only did the attacker escape unscathed after a midnight assault, but he also repelled the attacker head-on. If his faction's enemies knew about this, they would probably make a big deal out of it and launch attacks and questioning!

"Handle this matter as soon as possible to mitigate its impact!"

With a firm resolve, the old man flicked his sleeve, and a light gray glow emanated from his body. In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the sky.
