The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 755 The Silver-Haired Girl, The Battle Between Heaven and Man (Part 2)
"It seems I was right, you are indeed not fifty yet."

The girl's voice, like shattered jade falling onto a plate, echoed in the icy, cold cave like a clear pool of cold jade.

Guess?

Chen Ping'an's eyelids twitched slightly, and his heart sank.

At this moment, if he hadn't been so good at maintaining his composure, he probably would have already turned pale.

The girl's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, making it difficult to discern the real from the fake.

Logically speaking, if someone tricks you and exposes your flaws, you will be psychologically inferior from the very beginning.

Weighing the pros and cons and analyzing the situation, the desire for gain and loss can easily lead to an unstable mindset.

Even the slightest ripples of such instability can have a significant impact in a battle of this magnitude.

In reality, this manifests as a change in tactics, leaving openings for the opponent.

At this point, it doesn't matter whether the other party is guessing, bluffing, or has actually figured out something.

The last sentence alone is an unbreakable, open conspiracy.

As long as Chen Ping'an is aware of his hidden identity, he will fall into the girl's trap.

Feelings of gain and loss, shame and annoyance, reflecting on one's emotions
Amidst a multitude of emotions, whether numerous or few, and whether the resulting ripples are large or small, they all strike at the heart and produce an unavoidable impact.

As long as Chen Ping'an cares, this move will be incredibly effective.

It is clear that the opponent has employed psychological tactics, providing an effective advantage in maintaining the balance of power in the battle.

As for how heavy this layer of weight is, that depends on how much Chen Ping'an cares about this hidden identity!

The more you care, the more you'll agonize over it, and the more it will affect your mood.

Regardless of how one chooses to deal with it, once such feelings are sown, they are difficult to reverse.

By taking advantage of the situation and using just a few words, remarkable results can be achieved.

Indeed, none of those who can cultivate to the Celestial Realm are easy to get along with.

Whether it's cultivation techniques, secret arts, protective weapons, or mental cultivation methods, they will use the most perfect methods to influence the balance of the battle.

Even though the girl in front of him looked so young, it didn't change that in the slightest.

Those who live to be celestial beings enjoy a lifespan of a thousand years.

Its mysterious and wondrous properties are almost like preserving one's youth.

The girl in front of him was slender and looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was very likely over three hundred or even five hundred years old.

However, the girl's delicate appearance, regardless of her age, also implies that she was once a brilliant prodigy.

Otherwise, even with the best anti-aging techniques, it's difficult to defy aging and regain youth.

Even if one reaches the Celestial Realm, one can only maintain youthful appearance and cannot achieve this level of perfection.

If one had already reached middle age when breaking through to a higher realm, then at most, one could only maintain that appearance afterward. Any attempt to regain youth would only involve external techniques to alter one's appearance, replacing the true self with a false one, not a genuine youthful look.

boom!
Inside the cave, a fierce wind howled, whipping up large swaths of snow. Numerous fist shadows rained down, unleashing devastating attacks.

But before it could even get close, it solidified completely, shattered inch by inch, and turned into nothingness.

Chen Ping'an shifted his position, and with a quick glance, he noticed that the breakthrough aura within the grotto had already been divided into four parts.

The opponent is one step closer to the stable realm.

Clearly, regardless of the words or tactics used, the other side is merely stalling.

His displayed combat prowess was clearly somewhat beyond the girl's expectations. Currently, her mind was preoccupied, preventing her from unleashing her full power, so she couldn't do anything to him. However, once her cultivation level stabilized and her extraordinary abilities were fully revealed, the situation would be different.

"No matter what, we must finish this quickly!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes were cold, and his blood and qi surged, already enhancing his physical strength.

boom! boom! boom!
Inside the grotto, a deafening roar and violent collisions filled the air, with ice shards flying and snowflakes swirling in the air.

The violent aftershocks churned and roared within the cave, whipping up huge air currents.

If the cave hadn't been surrounded by ice, the aftershocks of such a powerful impact would have already completely destroyed it.

Even back then, Chen Ping'an possessed the ability to destroy mountains, let alone now. With his full power unleashed, the destructive force he caused has far exceeded the imagination of the world.

"So resilient!?"

However, he has now discovered the resilience of the ice layer inside the cave. The aftershocks of the violent collision only caused some ice chips to appear on the cold walls of the ice layer, without causing any real damage.

"What kind of technique is this?" Chen Ping'an was slightly shocked.

Even if the opponent were a true martial arts master, Chen Ping'an still felt that such a divine ability was too exaggerated. Such a wide area of ​​ice could still have such terrifying defensive power.

Whoosh!
Chen Ping'an dodged the ice spike attack with a flash, and seized the opportunity to unleash another deadly punch.

But clearly, his attack did not achieve any substantial results.

The girl's body was immersed in the dark pool, surrounded by ice and mist, making it extremely difficult for Chen Ping'an's attacks to have any fundamental impact.

Previously, he had seized an opportunity to unleash a powerful attack, but he only managed to get close before being blocked by that icy, cold mirror.

Looking at the icy, cold mirror reflected in the air, Chen Ping'an's expression was deep and his eyes were heavy.

Clearly, this mirror is also an extraordinary treasure.

boom!
Chen Ping'an shattered the incoming ice spikes with a single punch, shifting his position as he sought an opportunity to close the distance.

But with ice blades raining down and ice spikes filling the sky, Chen Ping'an couldn't get close for a moment.

"We can't delay it any longer!"

Chen Ping'an's gaze shifted, and the aura of someone breaking through to a higher realm in the arena was already faintly approaching the third level.

hum~
With a sudden flash of inspiration, several items appeared in Chen Ping'an's hand.

Chen Ping'an's figure shot forward, and without the slightest hesitation, he consumed the food in front of him.

Blood-Burning Pill, Vigorous Essence Pill, Spiritual Secret Pill.

The third-grade burst-enhancing pills, like beans, were swallowed by Chen Ping'an without hesitation.

boom!
Almost simultaneously, Chen Ping'an's already pushed aura to its limit surged even higher. The dazzling spiritual light illuminated the sky, as if a celestial being had descended to earth.

The blood and qi within his body were subtly churning, with waves of heat surging. With the support of his true essence, Chen Ping'an's black robe fluttered as he arrived with a whoosh.

In the deep pool, the girl's expression was indifferent, but a ripple appeared in her eyes.

Within the cave, wherever ice and snow covered, that was her domain. Naturally, her senses could not escape the other party's act of consuming the secret pill.

The opponent's combat strength is formidable; among Grandmasters, they are among the best. It's not surprising that they possess such a secret medicine.

Surprisingly, the other party took three different types of explosive pills in a row, completely disregarding the side effects of the secret medicines.

Given this situation, it's clear that the other side has made a desperate gamble.

For every gain, there is a loss. Burst-type pills, while providing short-term benefits, naturally come at a price.

One cost can already affect one's performance, let alone three at the same time.

If the effects of the medicine wear off and backfire, the other party's situation will be extremely miserable.

"Seven Killing Heavenly Fist, Five Secret Techniques, Netherworld Killing—"

"Netherworld Lock!"

Chen Ping'an's black robe billowed, a surge of energy erupted, and beneath the dazzling spiritual light, a powerful punch was unleashed.

His fists moved like shadows, his killing intent as deep as the darkness, unfathomable.

Under the influence of the secret medicine, his aura had already reached an extremely terrifying level. If he had previously reached a level close to that of a true celestial being through his refined spiritual essence, then now his aura had completely entered that realm. Activating the Seven Killings Secret Technique with his peak combat power, the sheer force of his attack was astounding.

"Frosty!"

The girl's voice was like shattered jade, and her jade-like fingers touched lightly.

Wow~
A wave of cold air surged like a tide, quickly spreading throughout the area. Large amounts of white mist rose, making the already frigid grotto even colder.

"Ice spikes!"

Kakakka~
Above the deep pool, ice crystals and jade stones rapidly solidified into pillars, octagonal in shape, radiating a strange luster.

The instant the prism took shape, Chen Ping'an's powerful punch also struck down.

Rumble~
Amidst the deafening roar, countless waves surged forth, and ice crystals flew out, splashing across the cave and shattering into countless pieces.

However, the violent collisions did not stop there.

"Bloodlust!"

hum~
A gray magic jar hovered, descending from the sky amidst the chaos, directly facing the silver-haired girl in the dark pool, and an extremely terrifying suction force instantly erupted.

This suction force ignores true essence, spirituality, and soul, as if it were acting directly on the body, trying to draw away all of a person's life essence, blood, and vital energy.

hum~
A cold light shone, and an ice lotus bloomed beside the girl, followed by a second and a third. Ice lotuses surrounded her, their icy light shimmering. Beneath the hazy light, the terrifying suction force vanished completely invisibly.

But Chen Ping'an's offensive did not stop there. The already incredibly thick withered wooden staff grew even larger, pressing down like a giant tree.

"town!"

With tremendous force, the giant tree pressed down.

The girl's expression remained unchanged. Above the deep pool, amidst the rapidly descending frozen ground, ice pillars rose into the air.

Rumble~
The two collided, resulting in a violent impact.

These formations, seemingly arranged in sequence, actually all occur in an instant.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an's figure had already reached the surface of the pool, and he was less than a few feet away from the silver-haired girl in the deep pool.

Above the deep pool, although icy mist swirled, obscuring the girl's figure, the intense tremors and the enhancement of her spiritual energy prevented the mist from dissipating, though they did reveal a flaw.

"Seven Absolute Techniques: Bewitching Mind Technique!"

hum~
Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed with a dark light as he stared directly at the girl.

At the same time, a deep, dark vertical pupil appeared in mid-air at some unknown time, and terrifying fluctuations were brewing within that extremely sinister pupil.

next moment!
Swish!
An almost deathly still aura rippled outwards.

Beam strike!

In that instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, snowflakes fluttered, and on the frozen surface of the pool, the ice layer cracked, revealing numerous fissures.

"Die!"

Amidst a deafening roar like a violent storm, a powerful and terrifying physique, like an ancient and untamed overlord, suddenly descended.

A being of extraordinary bloodline, a tyrant of the wilderness!
The billowing black robe had long since been completely torn apart, Chen Ping'an's wild hair danced wildly, and scales appeared on his dark golden body, gleaming with a strange metallic luster.

His bloodline was extraordinary; he hadn't used it earlier or later, all for this very moment.

A trump card is only a trump card when used at a crucial moment; only then can it achieve its intended effect.

He first used a secret medicine to enhance his strength, then started with the Five Killing Fists to create an opportunity. He then activated the Withered Wood Staff and the fake treasure simultaneously to distract his opponent.

Then, with his ultimate aura, he activated the powerful Evil Eye, unleashing a devastating attack.

This move serves two purposes: to inflict a severe blow and to create an opening.

His true strength lies in his terrifying bloodline and physique.

In such situations, a series of interconnected traps are formed, creating a deadly situation.

Click, click, click!
Ice rapidly condensed, forming a wall of icy crystals, but under Chen Ping'an's dark gold physique, it was as fragile as paper, offering no resistance whatsoever. In an instant, it shattered completely, turning into flying shards of ice.

As his body crashed down, the beam of destruction reached the silver-haired girl.

hum~
Within the icy mirror, crystalline light shot out, colliding with the beam of light radiating destructive energy.

The two came into contact and remained locked in a brief stalemate.

In the midst of this stalemate, Chen Ping'an's massive, diamond-like fist met the girl's delicate body and crashed down.

The girl was slender and graceful, with snow-white skin, and beneath her flowing silver hair was an exquisitely beautiful face, untouched by the world.

Beneath Chen Ping'an's strong, metallic physique, the girl's figure appeared exceptionally petite.

The girl immersed herself in the icy pool, her silver hair cascading down. Chen Ping'an descended from the sky, his imposing aura as majestic as a towering mountain. From afar, they resembled a giant beast and a young girl, forming a beautiful picture filled with strange and wild beauty.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

next moment!
With a chilling glint in his eyes, Chen Ping'an's powerful, dark gold physique was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the icy surface of the pool. The incredibly solid ice shattered instantly upon impact. His body flew backward uncontrollably, leaving a huge gash that stretched from his point of impact, like a ferocious dragon winding wildly across the ice.

Ice shards flew everywhere, falling like snowflakes.

The ice on the surface of the pool was much thicker than expected. Even now, with the ice breaking, not a trace of water could be seen.

Pong!
The ice shattered, completely burying Chen Ping'an's strong and powerful physique.

boom!
A terrifying shockwave exploded, scattering ice shards everywhere, and Chen Ping'an's terrifying physique, as if cast from dark gold, appeared above the dark pool.

"This power."

His body was surging with terrifying bloodline power, and a terrifying wave of blood energy surged around him. Chen Ping'an's eyes were deep as he stared at the vortex-like ice crystal disc not far away, his eyes filled with shock.

Just now, he crashed down like a towering mountain. With his physical strength, the silver-haired girl would have a very difficult time dealing with him if he got close.

Through his various methods, he successfully created the opportunity to approach the girl. They were so close that he could almost feel the icy aura emanating from her fair skin.

In this situation, the killing intent has already been formed.

With his physical strength and extraordinary bloodline, even if the girl had any tricks up her sleeve, it would be extremely difficult for her to maintain the initiative in close combat.

But even under these circumstances, he was actually knocked flying.

In just a moment, many details from before surfaced in Chen Ping'an's mind.

In that instant, a glint appeared in the girl's eyes, seemingly carrying an icy chill. Their eyes met, and Chen Ping'an's body stiffened for a moment.

An invisible force surged forth, attacking and penetrating the body, shaking the soul and freezing the mind.

Before he could even slow down, an ice crystal disc appeared like a vortex, shooting out a cold light that sent him flying backward.

The chilling aura was enough to make one's heart tremble. If it weren't for his robust physique and terrifying blood and energy, the icy light that pierced his very bones would have been enough to seriously injure him.

"What kind of technique is this?" Chen Ping'an's eyes were deep and his expression was solemn as he looked at the ice crystal disc where snowflakes swirled like a vortex not far away.

With his discerning eye, he could naturally see that this ice crystal disc was not some external protective object, but rather an external manifestation of some kind of secret technique.

Pong!
The beams of destruction and the pillars of ice crystals, locked in a stalemate in mid-air, were completely annihilated after a brief standoff, leaving behind an extremely terrifying shockwave that created terrifying ripples.

Wow~
Amidst the terrifying tremors, the icy mist surged like a tide.

At the same moment, the aura of the Breakthrough Realm that had lingered above the grotto for so long, with only a third remaining, quickly dissipated and disappeared completely.

Amidst the icy mist, a young girl in a silver dress appeared above the dark pool. Her expression was indifferent, exuding a chilling aura.

"You are the first person who has made me so angry since I began my cultivation."

The cold wind was sharp and biting, howling in all directions. The girl's silver hair danced wildly in the wind, like a cascading silver river.

　There was a slight mishap today; I got caught up in my emotions and couldn't tear myself away from watching the fish swim. It was my fault today, everyone, sorry for keeping you waiting. I'll definitely update more tomorrow to express my apologies.
