After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Although the life-or-death duel is held on the life-or-death arena, it does not mean that one cannot leave the arena.

After all, it's not about who's better or worse, it's about life and death.

"Come again!"

Qin Chuan let out a low shout and used the Shadowless Step to rush towards Gu Wenxuan.

Seeing Qin Chuan charging towards him, Gu Wenxuan sneered and said sarcastically, "When I saw you dare to issue a life-or-death challenge before, I thought you had some great ability. Now it seems that I was really overthinking it."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But I also want to thank you. It is because of you that I was able to break through my cultivation level and reach the sixth level of the Profound King realm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wenxuan's eyes turned cold, and he threw another punch.

"bang"

With a dull thud, Qin Chuan was sent flying like a cannonball once again.

"puff!"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Qin Chuan stopped at the edge of the cliff.

After glancing at his right hand, Qin Chuan's eyes flashed; his hand was fine.

The reason he vomited blood was all because of Gu Wenxuan's sixth level of the Xuanwang realm.

The difference in their cultivation levels was too great, which caused Gu Wenxuan's Xuan power to be too strong, resulting in the backlash that injured him.

At the same time, Gu Wenxuan frowned slightly, having also noticed this strange phenomenon.

If any other person at the first level of the Profound King realm were to fight him like that, they would have already suffered cuts and broken arms.

How could anyone be like Qin Chuan now, who only coughs up a few mouthfuls of blood and then continues fighting as if nothing happened?

"Come again!"

Qin Chuan let out another low shout and rushed towards Gu Wenxuan with an excited expression.

"Oh!"

Soon, another figure flew out.

"Come again!"

……

Everyone on the field was stunned by what they saw.

They never imagined that a life-or-death duel would turn out like this.

Qin Chuan was like a sandbag, repeatedly knocked away, yet he charged towards Gu Wenxuan again and again.

At this moment, Qin Chuan was covered in blood, but none of the disciples watching dared to underestimate him in the slightest.

Not only is Qin Chuan Xuan Wang's realm unmatched, but even with their current reckless fighting style, none of them could achieve this.

"This kid is actually honing his physical body in a life-or-death duel..."

After a long pause, Ji Li took a breath, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

what!

Upon hearing the sect leader's words, the surrounding disciples immediately erupted in an uproar.

They never expected things to turn out this way.

"This is insane, insane..."

Everyone turned their gaze to Qin Chuan, marveling at his madness.

With only the first level of the Profound King realm, he dared to have a sixth level Profound King realm expert punch him to temper his physical body.

"What do you take me for, kid!" Gu Wenxuan's face turned extremely ugly after throwing another punch.

At first, he was still enjoying the pleasure of brutally torturing Qin Chuan.

But gradually, he noticed some clues, and only after hearing the discussions around him did he finally realize what was going on.

In an instant, Gu Wenxuan's expression turned as if he had swallowed a fly.

On the other side, Qin Chuan coughed up a mouthful of blood and then slowly stood up.

Although it's unknown how many mouthfuls of blood he coughed up, his eyes grew brighter with each passing moment.

In this constant exchange of blows, he could feel his body being forged and tempered, becoming stronger and stronger, just like iron being hammered.

Empress Yaoxi said, "You are really crazy. No one has ever cultivated their body like you."

Qin Chuan chuckled to himself, "As long as I can become stronger, that's enough."

After a moment of silence, Empress Yaoxi suddenly asked, "Why are you so eager to become stronger?"

"why?"

Qin Chuan thought for a moment, then said, "Perhaps it's because he doesn't want to feel that sense of powerlessness anymore."

Empress Yaoxi was taken aback, "Powerlessness?"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Senior Yao Xi, you wouldn't understand."

Back when his dantian was destroyed and his bloodline was drained, the deep sense of powerlessness almost dragged him into the abyss several times.

Later, when facing the Thunder Sect, that deep sense of powerlessness resurfaced.

If he hadn't sought Guan Yueyue's help in time, the consequences for the Qin family might have been unimaginable.

If he had the power back then, he would have definitely killed Duan Mingze to avenge Liu Ergou's parents.

Even now, Qin Chuan still feels incredibly guilty whenever he recalls Liu Ergou's eyes from that time.

He had promised the other party that he would definitely come back, but in the end he was too late.

Therefore, he is willing to endure any hardship as long as he can become stronger.

After clearing his mind of these thoughts, Qin Chuan took a deep breath and charged towards Gu Wenxuan again.

"It's time to end this farce!"

Seeing Qin Chuan rushing towards him again, Gu Wenxuan's face turned cold, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

The next moment, he flipped his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

The longsword was entirely crimson, with faint flames burning on it, and one could almost hear the roar of a dragon emanating from it.

"This sword is named Crimson Flame. It is forged from top-grade fire spirit stone and is the masterpiece of Master Kuang Tie from the Southern Region. It is a mid-grade medicinal treasure!"

Gu Wenxuan muttered to himself, seemingly explaining to Qin Chuan, or perhaps showing off to the audience.

Mid-grade pill!

Upon hearing Gu Wenxuan's words, the surrounding disciples were immediately taken aback, their gazes becoming incredibly intense.

Many of them didn't even own a single magical artifact, let alone a precious pill.

Everyone's eyes were filled with envy, and some people even swallowed hard several times.

"Fire Sword Technique!"

Gu Wenxuan roared, and the Crimson Flame Sword in his hand transformed into a sky full of flames, instantly creating countless sword shadows that pierced towards Qin Chuan.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Guan Yueyue and Shi Yangming were startled, and their expressions changed simultaneously.

Just as the two were about to disregard everything and rush onto the stage to save Qin Chuan, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.

On the life-or-death stage, Qin Chuan was nowhere to be seen.

"boom!"

Gu Wenxuan's sword strikes all missed their mark, crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

"What happened! Where is Qin Chuan?"

The disciples watching stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene with confusion.

Only Gu Wenxuan and the elders in front of the life-and-death arena had furrowed brows and solemn expressions on their faces.

The disciples with lower cultivation levels were unaware of this, but they could clearly sense it.

Qin Chuan did not disappear; rather, his movement speed was so fast that he arrived at another place before the naked eye could catch him.

Just as everyone was wondering, the sound of leaves falling suddenly rang in their ears.

Then, the sound of falling leaves grew faster and louder.

"This! Could it be..."

Upon hearing this sound, Ji Li and Guan Yueyue exchanged a glance, both revealing shock in each other's eyes.

After a long pause, Guan Yueyue shook her head and smiled bitterly, sighing, "It seems that I, as the mentor, have underestimated my disciple."

At this moment, an outer sect elder looked at Ji Li and asked in confusion, "Sect Master, what kind of movement technique is this kid using?"

Ji Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Falling Leaf Peak Secret Technique, Falling Leaf Step!"
