One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

Sun Yao's kick sent Zuo Qianzhi flying into the courtyard, leaving a large hole in the study wall. However, this time the result was different; even with the power of the Purple Heaven Thunder Technique, his kick failed to injure Zuo Qianzhi as it had with the previous two.

Zuo Qianzhi's defense has increased by hundreds or even thousands of times since he became a monster. If Sun Yao doesn't use some powerful methods, he probably won't be able to break through his defense.

"How exactly did this monster get instantly killed by Hong Guan in the Green Mountain Begonia storyline? It's probably not a plot device, is it? The Zhang family's blood shouldn't have this effect. This guy must have had something mixed into the Zhang family's blood, causing it to mutate. It's very likely that he wasn't injected with this particular potion in the original Green Mountain Begonia storyline. If he had been injected with the same potion, Hong Guan wouldn't have been able to kill him instantly." Looking at Zuo Qianzhi, who had turned into a monster, even Sun Yao frowned, muttering to himself and constantly complaining that the plot didn't work this way.

Despite his constant complaining, his kung fu never stopped. He'd kick after each complaint, and by the time he finished, the yard was a complete mess. However, despite the mess, Zuo Qianzhi only suffered minor injuries.

However, their commotion was so loud that it attracted the attention of the guards at the gate. A series of noisy footsteps approached, and the guards at the gate rushed into the courtyard almost in single file.

"A monster!!!" Perhaps due to the innate fear of gods and ghosts prevalent in this era, the soldiers' first reaction upon seeing the monstrous Zuo Qianzhi was not to fire, but to run away. With the first man fleeing, the entire squad of twenty-odd soldiers escaped without firing a single shot. Sun Yao was stunned by this. Even the thickest skin on Zuo Qianzhi couldn't withstand a bullet; these men would know that this monster would bleed if they fired a single shot. Yet, they left without firing a single shot, which didn't surprise him at all.

The people shouting that the monster was running away did not attract Zuo Qianzhi's attention. He had lost his mind after turning into a monster. At this moment, all he wanted to do was tear Sun Yao, who was beating him up, to pieces. Unsurprisingly, he focused all his attention on Sun Yao.

Just as Sun Yao's attention was drawn to the soldiers shouting "Monster, run!", Zuo Qianzhi, now a monster, moved. Everyone knows that speed is the ultimate weapon in martial arts. But speed is relative; absolute power has absolute speed, and power and speed are always matched. Zuo Qianzhi, now a monster, undoubtedly possessed unimaginable strength. He leaped, shaking the entire courtyard. With a sudden burst of power, he appeared beside Sun Yao in the next second. His fist, the size of two basketballs, slammed down towards Sun Yao's head.

The monster timed its attack perfectly, catching Sun Yao completely off guard. However, he did hear the sound of wind rushing past his ears, and almost instinctively, he activated the Golden Light Spell of Longhu Mountain. The next second, he heard a clang, a deep, almost bell-like sound, but unsurprisingly, the monster's fist failed to break through Sun Yao's Golden Light Spell defense.

Sun Yao subconsciously felt fortunate, fortunate that he made the choice after hearing the rumors. Otherwise, even as a Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that punch. After all, he was a Qi Refiner and hadn't yet learned any body-refining techniques.

"You little bastard, you're playing pretty fancy tricks. A sneak attack, huh? I'll show you why the flowers are so red!" Zuo Qianzhi's punch really ignited Sun Yao's anger. This was the first time since he started cultivating that he felt so close to death. The last time was when he faced that tiger in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing.

Sun Yao took a step forward, and golden flames began to rise from his body. He entered the state of Reverse Golden Flame, which meant that Sun Yao was truly unleashing his true power. He had last used this state when he fought Zhang Zhiwei, but if he were to fight Zhang Zhiwei again now, he would no longer need to use the Reverse Golden Flame state.

"Returning to virtue amidst the flames, burning all directions, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon!" Sun Yao unleashed his self-created Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, but this time he didn't release the fire dragon to burn people; instead, it coiled around his body.

He turned around and kicked Zuo Qianzhi in the chest. The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon wrapped around Zuo Qianzhi's right leg, and with a burst of fire, he sent Zuo Qianzhi flying. As the monster flew backward, his whole body was engulfed in golden flames.

Sun Yao, naturally, pressed his advantage relentlessly. As the monster flew out, he followed suit, even faster than the monster. He unleashed a technique similar to Sasuke's Lion's Barrage, each punch and kick striking Zuo Qianzhi with unimaginable force as the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon coiled around him. Golden flames spread to Zuo Qianzhi's body with this force, becoming an inextinguishable, persistent worm. The monstrous Zuo Qianzhi instinctively rolled on the ground, but even this couldn't extinguish the burning golden flames on his body.

After several attempts, the monster finally realized that the flames on its body were unextinguishable. So, enduring the burning pain, it lunged at Sun Yao, seemingly intending to perish together with him. If it could speak, it would probably say, "Even if I die, you won't get away with it."

The monster was enormous, possessing considerable speed and strength, but lacking agility. The moment it pounced, Sun Yao stepped on its right shoulder, leaping over it and appearing behind it. He then delivered a powerful kick to the monster's lower back, sending it crashing into the main hall of the mansion. The two large pillars of the hall collapsed, and the entire building began to crumble before collapsing completely.

Sun Yao remained vigilant despite the collapsed house, as he still didn't know if the monster was truly dead. He cautiously made his way through the ruins, which were shrouded in dust, making it impossible for him to see clearly what lay inside.

But the next second, a series of explosions suddenly occurred on the ruins. Sun Yao looked at the place where the explosions occurred, shook his head, and laughed out loud, "Dust explodes when it comes into contact with fire, this is middle school chemistry. But shouldn't it only explode when a large amount of dust in a small space comes into contact with an open flame? It's such an open space and it still exploded, it seems to be a low-probability event."
