The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 698 Battle Power and Suspicion of Qingchan (Bonus Chapter for 8000 Monthly Tickets)

"Devouring Demon Old Monster!"

Gu Qingchan's starry eyes suddenly turned cold, her gaze sharp and piercing, like a sudden flash of cold stars.

She never imagined she would encounter the Devouring Demon Old Monster here.

The Devouring Demon Old Monster is incredibly powerful, even surpassing the White Bone Prince in terms of sheer might.

"Another peak combatant has been added!"

The Devouring Demon Old Monster is the Supreme Elder of the Great Banner Sect in Yanlie Prefecture, Ge Yuntao is an elder of the Ge family of Xuanling, and Yu Wenqiao is a powerful rogue cultivator who mingles in Xuanling.

How did these people get together?

They gathered together on this nameless, secluded pool.

"Devouring Demon Old Monster".

Chen Ping'an remained calm as he gazed at the gaunt old man not far away.

He never expected to run into an acquaintance here.

The white-haired old man, the White Bone Prince, Ge Yuntao, Yu Wenqiao, and the Devouring Demon Old Monster... it's quite a lively scene indeed.

Holding Gu Qingchan's hand, Chen Ping'an resisted the overwhelming will surrounding them, pondering whether he should immediately unleash his full combat power and kill all of these people at once.

If that's the case, then the survivors cannot be spared.

As for Gu Qingchan...
Chen Ping'an's mind raced, and he transmitted his voice to Gu Qingchan beside him: "Senior, the enemy is troublesome. Why don't we break through first and then make a plan?"

"Ping An, you just need to focus on breaking through the encirclement and don't need to pay attention to me."

Gu Qingchan gazed at the impressive lineup before her, her eyes clear and cold, her expression calm.

With such a lineup, let alone a supreme grandmaster, even an ordinary grandmaster of the wind and clouds might not be able to escape unscathed. If one person is in such a predicament, imagine what it would be like to bring her along.

If she could barely unleash the power of a Grandmaster when she fought Yu Wenqiao before, she is now probably not even as strong as a top-tier Grandmaster.

The poison of the strange wood needed to be suppressed, the blood evil needed to be controlled, and the injury to her leg had also greatly reduced her agility.

If Chen Ping'an were to force his way out, there would be absolutely no chance of victory.

But Chen Ping'an is different. With her as a cover and distraction, there is a slight chance that he can break through.

Rather than both of them perishing here, it's better to let Chen Ping'an go out, at least leaving one hope.

Seeing that Chen Ping'an showed no sign of letting go, Gu Qingchan's voice transmission sounded again: "Ping'an, your successful breakout will be the best help to me. Once you break out, try to find helpers. As for me, don't worry, I have my own way."

Given the current situation, there's absolutely no chance they two could achieve anything. Unless...
Gu Qingchan's eyes flickered. Her words, besides being sincere, also contained a hint of probing.

If he really is
At this moment, looking at the perilous situation before her, Gu Qingchan felt surprisingly calm.

"Let's go together." In response to Gu Qingchan's telepathic message, Chen Ping'an's reply was concise but firm, leaving no room for refusal: "Get on, I'll carry you."

Chen Ping'an had anticipated that this would displease Gu Qingchan, or that he would need to mediate and persuade her. He was even prepared to take drastic action.

But to his surprise, he heard a single word in response from Gu Qingchan.

"it is good!"

Ok?
Chen Ping'an could clearly sense that Gu Qingchan's emotions were somewhat different.

However, now was clearly not the time to think about this issue. Chen Ping'an reached out and pulled Gu Qingchan over.

The two exchanged words in secret, which seemed to take a long time, but in fact all happened in the blink of an eye.

From an outsider's perspective, they saw the Devouring Demon Old Monster appear, and after Gu Qingchan finished her rebuke, she was carried on Chen Ping'an's back. This situation, combined with the context, gave the impression that the Devouring Demon Old Monster's words had come true, confirming his identity.

Ok?
Ge Yuntao frowned.

Yu Wenqiao stared at the two people in front of her with a playful expression.

Now that the situation has been settled, with the White Bone Prince and the Withered Vine Elder appearing one after another, she is no longer as anxious as before.

"You two were right after all!" The Devouring Fiend Old Monster roared in exasperation, "You two despicable couple!"

"Hold tight."

Feeling the warm, soft flesh behind him, Chen Ping'an felt no romantic desire.

"Mmm." Gu Qingchan leaned against Chen Ping'an's back, a blush rising on her face, and softly hummed in agreement.

The scent of those burning hands, still carrying a hint of ambiguity, lingered on her jade-like legs.

At this moment, Gu Qingchan was thinking about other things.

Within her brow and spiritual altar, the image of destiny, already largely outlined, seemed to tremble slightly. Amidst flashes of spiritual light, it continuously confirmed her conjectures.

A 26-year-old martial arts grandmaster with a will comparable to the pinnacle, having previously mastered layer upon layer of techniques, progressing from the mid-stage of the Jade Balance realm to its peak, culminating in his recent explosive development... Could it be...?
Is there more hidden?

If that's the case, wouldn't that be...
Gu Qingchan's eyes trembled. Although she had not yet received concrete evidence, she was already mostly convinced.

Beicang, a major town; Sanqi Mountain; Canglong Prefecture City; Long'an, a major town.
Once or twice is a coincidence, but what about three or four times?
To prevent Chen Ping'an from having to look after her while he was fighting, Gu Qingchan wrapped her arms around Chen Ping'an's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, her black hair loose and her wide sleeves hanging down.

"You shameless bastards! You shameless bastards!" The Devouring Fiend Old Monster's face turned fierce, and he was furious. He was the first to make a move.

Dark red true energy, surging with murderous intent, bared its fangs and claws as it hurtled towards Chen Ping'an.

At the same time, a dark red banner appeared in front of him, fluttering and surging with murderous aura.

Having been famous for many years, the Devouring Demon Old Monster naturally possesses exceptional skills and abilities.

"Such a temper." The White Bone Prince smiled lazily and joined in the attack.

The white jade fan flickered slightly, producing a whistling sound and a chilling aura that filled the area. That chill was enough to paralyze spiritual energy and affect the power of cultivation techniques.

With a snap of his fingers, several bone spikes appeared out of thin air, pale and menacing, exuding a murderous aura.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
At the same time as the bone-piercing injection, a buzzing sound rang out from the side; Ge Yuntao had appeared. He held a long spear, surrounded by golden light, and thousands of spear shadows shot out through the gaps in the fighting.

"What a pity, a prodigy with the potential to become a Celestial Being." Yu Wenqiao smiled charmingly, her slender red chain surging forth: "Dare to kill me? This grandma will send you on your way!"

Of the five Grandmasters present, only the withered old man, leaning on his cane, did not make a move. In his eyes, Chen Ping'an was already a dead man.

None of the four Grandmasters present were weaker than a Supreme Grandmaster. If they attacked together, even he would feel immense pressure.

"Batian Slash!"

Displaying his Grandmaster level, Chen Ping'an didn't hold back much, immediately unleashing a devastating Heaven-Slaying Slash. At the same time, a black iron ingot appeared out of thin air, swelling rapidly in the wind until it reached the size of a house.

"town!"

The jet-black, lump-like ingot of black iron clashed head-on with the golden spear.

The colorful square cloth swirls in an umbrella-like pattern, enveloping the sinister wind of the White Bone Prince.

"Treading the Wind!"

Chen Ping'an's brows lit up, and with a flash, he dodged the bone spikes that shot towards him. Before he could even regain his footing, he casually swung his sword at the Devouring Demon Old Monster's banner.

boom! boom! boom!
A series of deafening roars echoed, and incredibly violent shockwaves swept across the area. Large sections of the mountain collapsed, trees snapped, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

Amidst the deafening roar, Gu Qingchan lay on Chen Ping'an's back, feeling an unusual sense of security.

This sense of security doesn't lie in Chen Ping'an, but in the figure in his heart.

At this moment, she was mostly certain of what had happened. At a certain point, their figures merged into one.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Ping'an and the others all made their moves, exchanging a single blow with each of the several supreme grandmasters present.

He fought against four opponents and held his own in no way.

Such combat prowess is astonishing. And considering his age...
"How could this be?" The first to lose his composure was the Devouring Fiend Old Monster. He had encountered Gu Qingchan and Chen Ping'an's group on his way to Xuanling City, and his words were full of sarcasm and ridicule.

In his eyes, Chen Ping'an was nothing more than an insignificant junior. No matter how brilliant his talent, at present, he could at most contend with a top-tier grandmaster.

There is no chance of competing with him.

but now
Chen Ping'an not only fought, but he also faced four opponents alone.

This situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

The astonishment and trembling weren't limited to the Devouring Demon Old Monster; Ge Yuntao, Yu Wenqiao, and others were also shocked. While Chen Ping'an had displayed formidable strength in their previous battle, it was clearly on par with theirs, at most slightly stronger.

But now, it's several levels stronger than before.

Such combat skills and techniques are comparable to those of Old Man Kuteng. Even if he cannot reach the Grandmaster Ranking, he has still reached that level.

this.
Yu Wenqiao's eyes widened in astonishment, her beautiful face filled with shock.

Reaching the level of a Grandmaster in the world of martial arts, the twenty-six-year-old Chen Ping'an, a man of fierce swordsmanship.
With such talent, if listed on the Hidden Dragon List, he would surely be among the top ten!
The top ten of the Hidden Dragons, this
"Brawl!" Old Man Ku Teng's expression was solemn, his full head of white hair moving without wind.

He felt immense pressure from Chen Ping'an, this junior wielding the fierce blade. That sharp sword intent and resounding divine will—if he were two or three decades younger, he might have been tempted to challenge him.

But now, he is old, and all he wants to do is get rid of the uncontrollable factor, Chen Ping'an, as soon as possible.

"To touch the Grandmaster of Wind and Cloud?" The White Bone Prince held a white jade bone fan, still exuding an air of elegance.

Compared to the others, he was the most composed.

This composure doesn't come from his temperament, but from his inherent strength.

The existence of the White Bone Secret Technique allowed him to maintain an unspeakable confidence most of the time.

Even if he had to expend a great deal of effort to perform this secret technique, it would still be the same.

Some things you can do without, but you can't live without.

Chen Ping'an stood with his back to Gu Qingchan, holding a knife.

Since he revealed his combat strength, which rivaled that of a Grandmaster of the Wind and Cloud Realm, it meant that today's events would absolutely not end well. His strength was a matter of his greatest secret, and he absolutely could not stand idly by and allow it to be leaked.

Before reaching the Celestial Realm, one's strength, even at the level of a Grandmaster of the Wind and Cloud, must never be revealed openly.

Otherwise, too much attention would severely squeeze his living space. Too few gaps in strength left between them would seriously reduce his margin for error.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an's killing intent was fully revealed, and he no longer held back.

Previously, he had planned to display this combat power, break through the encirclement, and then go online with a disguise to sweep across the world.

However, the combined suppressive power of these individuals was greater than he had anticipated. Revealing more of his strength to break through would be pointless.

Rather than trying to break through, it would be better to kill them here.

As for Gu Qingchan, he planned to use his cultivation level to suppress her and employ the methods from the spiritual manual to try to conceal some of her memories.

Whether it will work or not is another matter.

Let's deal with the immediate situation first!

In this situation, it's no longer a question of whether he should hide it or not. The circumstances have forced him to this point; if he doesn't erupt, it will only put both of them in a difficult position, just like when they faced the Blood Demon Venerable and the Deadly Poison Master.

We must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Hold on to me."

He was ready to unleash his full power and sweep across the world as quickly as possible.

"Mmm." Gu Qingchan gave a soft "Mmm" and obediently wrapped her arms around Chen Ping'an's neck.

Such a docile demeanor was something I had never seen before.

Feeling the soft yet firm and beautiful body behind him, Chen Ping'an's heart skipped a beat. He knew that at this moment, his disguise could no longer be hidden.

When he fully erupts and uses his methods, his identity will be completely confirmed.

At that time, Mangdao will be Night Owl, and Night Owl will be Mangdao.

From Sanqi Mountain to Canglong Prefecture City, and then to Leiming City, many things that happened in between could no longer be concealed.

But at this point, thinking about these things is obviously pointless.

The most important thing right now is to kill the people in the field as soon as possible to ensure that no one escapes.

The others are alright, but if the rumors are true, killing the White Bone Prince will probably take a lot of effort.

In addition, we must prevent him from escaping.

In that instant, Chen Ping'an had already devised a strategy.

Azure Flame Four Directions Command Flag, Seven Killings Heavenly Gang Fist, Void Wind Control Step, Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique, Wilderness Power.
With lightning speed, kill Ge Yuntao and Yu Wenqiao first, then the Devouring Demon Old Monster and the White-Haired Elder. Leave the White Bone Prince for last, so we can properly learn from his White Bone Secret Technique.

"The pseudo-celestial being possesses 80% of his combat strength."

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, revealing his murderous intent.

Perhaps sensing Chen Ping'an's killing intent, Gu Qingchan tightened her grip on his arm. Her beautiful face pressed against his shoulder, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

At this moment, Gu Qingchan didn't seem like an empress wielding power, but rather like a joyful young girl in love.

Even if such a moment is only for a fleeting instant.

In the blink of an eye, just as Chen Ping'an was about to make his move, a deep, hoarse voice resounded throughout the arena, accompanied by a visible sonic boom.

"waste!"

In Chen Ping'an's perception, a powerful aura at the pseudo-Celestial level suddenly appeared at the bottom of the dark pool. However, it appeared above the pool in an instant.

"A pseudo-celestial being?"

A dark aura surged, revealing a tall figure.

His gaze was chilling and cold, with a hint of rampant madness.

"grown ups."

"I have met the Evil Lord."

"."

The moment the tall figure appeared, everyone present greeted him.

Whether it was Ge Yuntao, Yu Wenqiao, or even the rather lazy White Bone Prince, they all held bone fans and bowed their heads in greeting.

"Evil Lord?" Chen Ping'an looked him up and down, scrutinizing him.

Sensing the raging, frenzied aura in mid-air, Chen Ping'an made a preliminary assessment of his opponent's strength.

"He is no ordinary pseudo-celestial being."

He had fought against Leng Dingqingfan and knew that the strength of an ordinary pseudo-celestial being was definitely not enough to exert this level of suppression.

Even the old monster Jin from Xuanling Heavy City might not be able to catch up with this level of aura.

In a split second, Chen Ping'an made an accurate judgment.

"Approaching, or even being, a top-tier pseudo-celestial being."

What's so strange about this secluded pool that, besides gathering so many grandmasters, there's even a pseudo-celestial being here?

　I'll update a little later tomorrow, probably in the afternoon.
