A cold gleam of a saber flashed.
To take, to soar into the sky!
"...Break for me!"
"Rumble!"
A cold light, like a shooting star, suddenly flashed.
The golden alms bowl phantom suspended above Chen Jiuyang's head began to tremble violently.
Then, it exploded, scattering golden light like fireflies in the dark night, mixed with the smell of blood, which was the blood essence of the monks.
"Pfft—"
The golden alms bowl phantom shattered, and all the monks, including Monk Pushi, immediately suffered a backlash, spitting blood in unison. After the terrifying saber energy from Chen Jiuyang's saber flashed, a terrifying wave of energy swept out from Chen Jiuyang's side.
"Ah—"
The eighteen monks were sent flying backward by the wave of energy. Some monks even screamed, all lying on the ground with pale faces and spitting blood.
Monk Pushi's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief: "Benefactor Chen, your saber... is so overbearing..."
Chen Jiuyang cupped his hands gently towards him: "You are too kind."
"Amitabha, congratulations Benefactor Chen on your progress in martial arts." Monk Puhui suppressed the surprise in his heart and thanked Chen Jiuyang.
"Not bad." Chen Jiuyang was still digesting the gains and losses from his recent enlightenment.
Monk Pushi and the others had been defeated. Monk Pushi said with a trembling voice, "Benefactor Chen, my junior brother is about to commit murder. Please do not do this."
"You monks are indeed remarkable, and the Arhat Array of Eighteen Subduing Dragons is also very powerful. Unfortunately, you are too weak." Chen Jiuyang said lightly, "However, like you, you do not wish to kill, so I did not kill you."
"But if a person harbors murderous intent, how can you stop it?"
Monk Pushi's eyes showed a hint of bewilderment, not knowing how to answer.
Chen Jiuyang said, "Puhui, let's go."
"Amitabha." Monk Puhui said, "Senior Brother, please recuperate here and watch the outcome."
Then, Chen Jiuyang and Monk Puhui left, heading towards the Pengzu ruins.
On the way, Monk Puhui said, "Benefactor Chen, how is your journey on the path to invincible divine abilities?"
Chen Jiuyang replied, "I'm just a step away from the finish line, but this final step could take a day, a year, or ten years. I need to witness all kinds of martial arts in the world, to verify the invincible divine ability path in my heart, and to hone my moves."
Monk Puhui smiled slightly: "In that case, Benefactor Chen's entry into the path of invincible divine abilities is today."
Within the Qinling Mountains, there were sounds of fighting and flames. It was unknown how many martial artists had rushed in.
When they were still five hundred meters away from the Pengzu ruins, the surroundings were already filled with dense martial artists, their attire varying according to the different forces in the martial arts world.
At the foot of the mountain stood an old man in the black uniform of the Six Doors, who was the chief constable of the Six Doors in Lingnan Province, Du Manying.
Du Manying had never practiced martial arts in his life, but his presence was different. Behind him stood over a hundred constables of the Six Doors.
"Treasures belong to those who are destined for them. Du, what do you mean? Are you saying that your Lingnan Six Doors are going to monopolize the Pengzu ruins?"
Du Manying glanced at the dense, seemingly endless crowd of martial artists, and at the unknown number of martial artists still rushing towards the Qinling Mountains.
The Pengzu ruins were like a piece of bait thrown into the sea, attracting many sharks to fight over it.
Du Manying said loudly, "If you want to enter these Pengzu ruins, you can. Just register your names. My Six Doors will not enter these Pengzu ruins, nor do we intend to monopolize them."
"It's good that you, Master Du, are sensible."
A martial artist snorted coldly, his eyes revealing greediness.
Monk Puhui clasped his hands together and said to Chen Jiuyang, "Benefactor Chen, what do you say? This old monk is giving you an opportunity to enter the path of invincible divine abilities. This is one of them."
The martial artists from countless forces gathered here were enough to contend with some of the Dragon Country's legions.
Chen Jiuyang's eyes were filled with fervor, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his fighting spirit boiling within him.
Chen Jiuyang said, "Master Du is noble. Since that is the case, I, this Marquis, will be the first to register and explore these Pengzu ruins."
As his voice fell, Chen Jiuyang's powerful voice spread in all directions.
Chen Jiuyang led Monk Puhui forward. Instantly, countless gazes fell on Chen Jiuyang, then on Monk Puhui, with eager eyes.
"Monk Puhui!?"
"Is this the old bald donkey who mastered the method to break the formation of the Pengzu ruins?"
"Who is that kid next to the old bald donkey?"
Many people were discussing, their eyes flashing with sharpness, their minds calculating.
"Seize this bald donkey and force him to reveal the method to break the formation of the ruins!"
Immediately, a martial artist of the Earth realm roared and charged towards Chen Jiuyang, as if he hadn't seen Chen Jiuyang.
"Boom!"
This Earth realm martial artist rushed in front of Chen Jiuyang and raised his hand to grab Monk Puhui.
However, Chen Jiuyang punched out, hitting the Earth realm martial artist. A thunderous fist sound instantly erupted at the scene.
"Ch—"
"Plop—"
A large pit appeared in the chest of this Earth realm martial artist. He spat out internal organ fragments and blood, and his life was extinguished. He knelt on the ground and died.
Chen Jiuyang's voice was chilling, his eyes cold:
"Do I not exist?"
Everyone was shocked. With one punch, he had killed an Earth realm Grandmaster alive. Who was this young man?
"If you want to snatch Puhui, then strength decides it. Come if you dare."
"...Hiss"
A martial artist from the demonic path recognized Chen Jiuyang: "Isn't this Chen Killing God Chen Jiuyang? How did this monster appear here?"
"This is bad. With Chen Jiuyang here, if we try to snatch Monk Puhui from him by force, who knows how many people will die."
"Chen Jiuyang is inherently bloodthirsty. He probably befriended Monk Puhui on purpose, using him as bait to lure people into attacking, so as to satisfy his bloodthirsty desires."
"This is troublesome..."
Some demonic path martial artists immediately had the urge to retreat. Although the Pengzu ruins were good and tempting, they had to have the life to get them.
The deeds Chen Jiuyang had done in Suhang before made these demonic path martial artists dare not be arrogant or overbearing in front of him.
"Nephew-in-law!"
At this moment, a martial artist walked forward, cupped his hands, and bowed to Chen Jiuyang: "Han Yunxiao greets Nephew-in-law!"
"Someone from the Han family?" Chen Jiuyang's expression was slightly stunned. The Pengzu ruins had even attracted people from the Han family of Suhang. How strong was the attraction of the Pengzu ruins to these aristocratic families?
"Brother Chen!" Another demonic path martial artist walked forward, trying to curry favor:
"You married the Saintess of the True Demon lineage of our demonic path, the Han family, and you hold the good card of Monk Puhui. You should support each other with our demonic path. Our demonic path can let you, Brother Chen, be the first to explore these Pengzu ruins as a show of sincerity. How about it?"
In the eyes of the demonic path, Chen Jiuyang was one of their own.
"Ch—"
Suddenly, a golden spear with an extremely overbearing aura attacked, piercing the ground in front of Du Manying. A young woman wearing dragon-patterned golden feather armor, with a fierce and overbearing aura, walked over. She was Gong Liexian. She stared at Chen Jiuyang and said, "Chen Jiuyang, if you dare to collude with people from the demonic path, I will be the first to kill you."
