Terrifying rumbles emanated from Chen Yuan's chest.

Tiger and Leopard Thunderous Roar, Blood Energy Like a Dragon!

Veins bulged beneath his clothes, Chen Yuan revealed a fierce glint in his eyes, a grin splitting his lips as he softly said:

"Somewhat interesting, but only somewhat..."

"Hmm?"

Yun Han frowned slightly. The moment Chen Yuan's fierce gaze landed on him, he felt a primal urge to retreat.

"Arrogant! Chen Yuan, I, Yun, acknowledge your extraordinary strength, but such contempt for me will come at a terrible price." Being looked down upon by Chen Yuan was unacceptable to Yun Han.

He was a direct descendant of the Yun family, incredibly esteemed. How could he be underestimated?

"Wind Cloud Fury!" (Feng Yun Lie!)

In that instant, Yun Han unleashed a Yun family secret technique for amplification, his aura surging higher and higher. A sea of fire materialized behind him, scorching the void.

Primordial Qi was gathering.

"Vanquish!"

He roared, the blazing flames coalescing into an even more terrifying blade of light than before, cleaving directly down towards Chen Yuan.

In response, Chen Yuan remained remarkably calm.

The Genuine Qi in his dantian circulated wildly, the Blood Qi at his heart converging. The Heavenly Palace Divine Aperture in his mind blazed with divine light, his fist intent coalescing, like a world-shaking ferocious beast awakening.

He raised his arm and gently delivered a punch.

In that instant, the wind and clouds shifted, the surrounding heaven and earth Primordial Qi stirred by this powerful intent. Sand and stones flew, and the ground trembled.

This intent was what Chen Yuan had comprehended in that Heavenly Stele space.

Unyielding, overcoming life and death.

"Boom!"

A shattering roar exploded in the void, as if a small mountain had collapsed. Yun Han's full-force blade strike was directly annihilated by this fist energy, even suffering a backlash.

A smear of crimson blood trickled from the corner of his lips.

Everyone around was shocked and profoundly moved.

That punch was simply terrifying and unstoppable!

Under her sleeves, Madam Xu's hands clenched tightly, her legs instinctively pressing together, her face revealing a look of horror. She had witnessed the power of Dan Realm Grandmasters.

And now, the fist energy Chen Yuan displayed before her was infinitely close to a Grandmaster's technique.

Even if it was only at the initial stage of a Grandmaster, it was still enough to shock people.

This youth was indeed terrifying!

Ouyang Zhi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with admiration. Such a powerful figure was the dream he sought to pursue. Chen Yuan's dominance, Chen Yuan's power, was firmly imprinted in his heart.

Having endured hardships, he was different from ordinary people. In his heart, he was actually like Chen Yuan, valuing strength above all else.

In this world, only strength could control everything.

A flicker of fear also flashed in Ouyang Tuo's eyes. That punch was definitely not something he could easily block.

Han Yu and many others were also awestruck by that punch.

Silence reigned, and all eyes converged on the black-clad figure in the void.

"Cough cough..."

Yun Han couldn't help but cover his chest and cough lightly, staring directly at Chen Yuan as he asked:

"What kind of fist is that?"

If anyone was the most shocked, it was undoubtedly Yun Han, who had directly borne the brunt of that punch. In his opinion, Chen Yuan's punch was definitely in the top five of the Potential Dragon Ranking.

It was beyond his ability to withstand.

The annihilating fist intent forced him to retreat.

"The fist that will kill you!"

Chen Yuan coldly shouted, taking another step forward, the coalesced fist energy charging straight towards Yun Han.

"Bang."

Yun Han's protective罡qi shattered directly.

Another punch.

The spiritual blade he held in front of him emitted a mournful cry, its spirit damaged, cracks appearing on the blade's surface, as if it would be completely shattered at any moment.

And he was also blasted into the ground by this force.

"Bang!"

The bluestone-built platform was directly smashed into a huge crater, with spiderweb-like cracks radiating outwards from Yun Han's position.

Victory and defeat had been decided!

Three punches determined the outcome!

From the start of the fight until now, including the time wasted earlier, Chen Yuan had only used fifty breaths.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had resolved the battle in a short moment.

The most important factor in achieving this was Chen Yuan's breakthrough, his strength soaring. Otherwise, even if he could win, it would definitely not have been so easy.

Objectively speaking, Yun Han's strength was very powerful, probably on par with Chen Yuan before his breakthrough, second only to Bai Changqing, who was sixth on the Potential Dragon Ranking.

But unfortunately, he was facing the current Chen Yuan.

"You...won."

Yun Han coughed up crimson blood, his face solemn, and also filled with a deep sense of frustration. He had only just entered the Jianghu, and today he had suffered an unprecedented blow.

If he didn't have some mental fortitude, his Dao heart might have shattered today.

"You must die..."

Chen Yuan raised his finger.

A battle of life and death was inherently about survival and demise.

Hearing these words, Yun Han grinned, revealing a mouthful of red teeth, and softly laughed:

"I am a direct descendant of the Yun family. Dare you kill me?"

"What dare I not? You once humiliated Brother Shangguan; today, Chen will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold." Chen Yuan looked down at him.

In another prefecture, Shangguan Yu felt a vaguely uneasy sensation, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Offending the Yun family for him is not worth it. You won, I lost. Let's end it here today, how about it?"

"No."

What a joke. If this person didn't die, where would the destiny come from?

"Chen Qing Envoy, please wait."

Suddenly, Ouyang Tuo's voice rang out. He leapt to Yun Han's side, looking up at Chen Yuan in the void, and solemnly said:

"Chen Qing Envoy, show mercy where mercy is due. It's just a Jianghu dispute, why create a mortal enemy? How about giving this old man some face and ending it here today?"

On the platform, Ouyang Zhi and Madam Xu exchanged glances, a sneer flashing across their lips at the same time.

As expected, the next moment, Chen Yuan coldly glanced at him and said:

"What kind of thing are you? Why should I give you face?"

"You..."

Ouyang Tuo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He never expected Chen Yuan to be so disrespectful, directly scolding him as "what kind of thing." If it had been before,

He would have definitely given the other party a lesson.

But after witnessing the strength he had just displayed, he still chose to endure it.

"Chen Qing Envoy, Young Master Yun Han is, after all, a direct descendant of the Yun family. It's better to avoid trouble than create it."

"Whether it's more trouble or less trouble, when did it become your turn to teach me what to do? If you don't get lost, I'll kill you together!" Chen Yuan coldly snorted, not giving him any face at all.

"You..."

"Chen Qing Envoy, what if we all plead for leniency?"

Voices rang out one after another. From the platform, four figures landed beside Ouyang Tuo. They were all Jianghu experts who wanted to curry favor with Yun Han, and they all stood up at this moment.

This was a good opportunity. If they could get on good terms with the Yun family, it would definitely be an excellent thing for them or their respective forces.

"Chen Qing Envoy, don't be too unreasonable. Let's just end it here," an old man said condescendingly, stroking his beard.

Perhaps in his opinion, with a group of them speaking up, Chen Yuan would have to give in, whether he wanted to or not. But they didn't know that in Chen Yuan's eyes, they were truly just a bunch of ants.

Would a strong person be bound by ants?

No.

Therefore, he died.

He was blasted into a cloud of blood by Chen Yuan with a casual punch, the blood splattering on Yun Han and the others.

"Anyone who dares to step forward will die!"

With one punch, he killed a man, not caring about their reactions at all. Silence descended upon the arena once again.

The remaining people all raised their Gangqi, their eyes hesitant as to whether they should continue to stay here.

On the ground, Yun Han chuckled twice and said:

"Good, as expected of the Demon Blade. The name of ferocity and slaughter is indeed well-deserved. But you can't kill me today."

"Is that so?"

"Second Uncle, show yourself."

Yun Han smiled confidently, crushing a sound transmission talisman in his hand.

The next moment, a terrifying aura came from far away, instantly enveloping the martial arts field. A middle-aged man in green robes with a long sword on his back stood in the void.

This man had a powerful aura, even stronger than Gu Chun, whom Chen Yuan had met before. He had a square face, his long hair tied up, and a Grandmaster's demeanor about him.

"Han'er, have you learned that there is always someone better?"

The green-robed man looked at him with a smile.

He wasn't too angry about Yun Han's defeat. This was how it was in the Jianghu, you needed to experience setbacks. Although encountering such a big setback so soon after entering the Jianghu was a bit much, it was also a good thing.

"Nephew understands. I'm troubling Second Uncle today," Yun Han said with difficulty as he stood up and cupped his fist towards the figure in the void.

With a Grandmaster appearing, Ouyang Tuo and the other Jianghu experts who had stood up knew that they were safe now. No matter how strong Chen Yuan was, he couldn't possibly kill a Grandmaster. And they might even be able to gain Yun Han's friendship because of this.

As for the one who had died just now, he had died in vain.

No one would remember him.

Madam Xu's beautiful face under her black veil was somewhat nervous. She quickly focused her gaze on Chen Yuan. Not only her, but Han Yu and Ouyang Zhi were the same.

They all turned their eyes to him, Han Yu and Madam Xu even worried that the Grandmaster expert would vent his anger on Chen Yuan.

But to everyone's surprise, Chen Yuan didn't show the slightest fear. He was still calm and composed.

"Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Yun Han looked at him with a smile.

It wasn't that he had prepared a backup plan in advance, after all, he originally thought that he wouldn't lose. But he knew very well that his Second Uncle had always been protecting him.

So even if he lost, he wasn't afraid at all.

He firmly believed that Chen Yuan couldn't kill him.

"It's nothing." Chen Yuan shook his head.

"Are you the Demon Blade Chen Yuan?"

The green-robed man in the void turned his gaze to Chen Yuan and asked solemnly.

His powerful aura unconsciously pressed down on Chen Yuan.

"And who might you be?"

"What courage," the green-robed man praised:

"This seat is Yun Hong."

"Are all the Yun family people like this? The younger one gets beaten, then the older one comes."

"Hehe... Yun Han is a direct descendant of my Yun family, so naturally someone will protect him. You won today, and this seat won't attack you, but that's all there is to it."

Yun Hong said with his hands behind his back, his voice deep.

As if he didn't take Chen Yuan seriously at all.

"Then I should really thank you." Chen Yuan grinned, a somewhat contemptuous smile tugging at his lips.

"Hmm?" Yun Hong frowned, naturally hearing the other meaning in Chen Yuan's words.

"It's just a pity that Yun Han must die today. No one can stop it."

"This seat doesn't want to kill you, it would sully my Yun family's reputation. But if you are stubborn, don't blame this seat for bullying the weak." Yun Hong was surrounded by killing intent.

Chen Yuan laughed. He looked directly at Yun Hong and said:

"You aristocratic families are really interesting. You want me to back down? You are not worthy! Today is a battle of life and death, to decide who is better and who will die.

If I lose, would Yun Han spare my life?

So, today, Yun Han is doomed to die. I said it!"

He faced Yun Hong directly, without backing down or avoiding him.

Yun Han frowned, not understanding where his confidence came from, daring to speak to a Dan Realm Grandmaster like this. Did he not know the power of a Grandmaster?

He should know that even with a Dan Talisman protecting him, he couldn't stop a Solid Dan Realm Grandmaster.

"You want to die?"

Yun Hong's eyes turned cold, a soaring aura enveloping the entire martial arts field and even half of Hidden Soldier Valley. Primordial Qi surged in the void, and the wind and clouds changed.

"No, you are the one who is courting death!"

Chen Yuan said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yun Hong could say anything else.

Above the Nine Heavens, the sound of a sword rang out, shaking the world.

In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky. A rusty, ancient sword bloomed with bright light, surrounded by illusory sword Qi. Everyone felt an extreme killing intent.

"Immortal Execution Sword, Jiang He!"

Yun Hong exclaimed.

The moment the Immortal Execution Sword appeared, Yun Hong panicked, and an uncontrollable sense of fear emanated from his heart.

Only those who had personally experienced it could know Jiang He's power. Unfortunately, he was one of them.

"In disputes between peers, Grandmasters must not interfere. Does the Yun family think the imperial court has no Grandmasters?"

Jiang He's faint voice rang out from the Immortal Execution Sword. The ethereal voice was like the murmuring of immortals and gods.

"Brother Jiang, calm your anger. Yun Hong has no such intention. He just wants to save Yun Han's life. I hope Brother Jiang will understand."

"It's a battle of life and death, so life and death are irrelevant. Since you have shown yourself, then stay here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Immortal Execution Sword moved, like the collapse of the sky, pressing down.

"I hope Brother Jiang will consider our ancestor's face and temporarily quell your anger."

Yun Hong roared as he surrounded himself with sword Qi.

"The Yun family old ghost doesn't have that face."

The ethereal voice rang out again.

The collapse of the sky crashed down.

"Boom!"

The Immortal Execution Sword fell, killing a Grandmaster with one strike.

Yun Hong was blasted into a cloud of blood by the sword Qi, his bones and flesh completely destroyed.

Silence reigned in the world.

Only the Immortal Execution Sword remained hovering in the void.

Chen Yuan stepped forward, cupped his hands and bowed:

"Thank you, Gold Envoy."

As early as three days ago, when Madam Xu reminded Chen Yuan, he had already thought of Jiang He. The first thing he did after returning to his room was to send a message to Jiang He using a sound transmission talisman.

In response, Jiang He only replied with one word:

"Kill!"

With those words, Chen Yuan was relieved.

The only thing that surprised him was that he thought Jiang He would come in person, but it turned out to be a sword coming from the east, controlling the sword from a thousand miles away...

One Immortal Execution Sword suppressed everything.

The Immortal Execution Sword hummed twice, a stream of light fell into Chen Yuan's hand, and then, without saying anything, it shot straight into the sky, disappearing before everyone's eyes.

Coming quickly and leaving quickly.

Chen Yuan looked into the distance where the Immortal Execution Sword vanished, and opened his hand. It was actually another sound transmission talisman.

Good fellow!

Chen Yuan trembled in his heart. Did he have to be so good to him?

Subconsciously, Chen Yuan's rear tightened.

But soon, he dismissed the thought. How could a dignified Sword God like men? It must be that he saw his powerful talent and was betting on him again.

That must be it!

All the onlookers below had turbulent thoughts in their hearts. Some people cried out in their hearts that they had come to the right place this time.

Not only did they see a wonderful battle, but they also saw such a grand scene.

Killing a Grandmaster with one sword.

Sword God Jiang He, how terrifying!

Madam Xu's bright eyes under her black veil flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.

Han Yu breathed a sigh of relief and had already decided to join Chen Yuan.

Just kidding, with such a strong backer, Chen Yuan's future was limitless. First come, first served. When Chen Yuan became even stronger, even if he went, he would definitely not receive much attention.

This was the difference between icing on the cake and providing charcoal in the snow.

On the platform, Yun Han froze in place, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Second Uncle was dead!

A dignified Solid Dan Realm Grandmaster-level expert was dead.

With just one sword.

The other party didn't give the Yun family any face at all, killing him as he pleased.

At that moment, he realized the principle that there was always someone better than you.

There were many people stronger than him, and there were many people stronger than his Yun family.

No wonder Chen Yuan had been so calm and unconcerned all along. It turned out that he had such a backup plan.

Not only Yun Han was stunned in place, but also Ouyang Tuo and the others. They also stood awkwardly in place, looking at each other. They originally thought they had boarded the Yun family's big ship,

But they didn't expect that the ship would be overturned directly.

Was it still too late to leave now?

After putting away the sound transmission talisman, Chen Yuan felt more confident in his heart. At the same time, his gratitude towards Jiang He had also reached its peak. There was no talk of any transaction this time.

The other party was still firmly standing behind him.

Having a background was so refreshing.

The only pity was that the Immortal Execution Sword was too powerful, completely obliterating Yun Hong's corpse, not giving him a chance to touch the corpse. Otherwise, a Dan Realm Grandmaster would definitely have brought him a lot of wealth.

"I said, I want to kill you, no one can stop me."

Chen Yuan stepped down from the void step by step, looking down at Yun Han.

His voice was still very soft, and his tone was still confident, without any change.

Yun Han came back to his senses from his daze and looked at Chen Yuan:

"Good methods."

"You are the one with good methods, but these methods are useless against me."

"Hehe..."

Yun Han laughed despairingly, without refuting, because what he said was right.

"Now, do you have any other backup plans?"

"No."

"If you don't have any, you'll die."

"Die then. It's just laughable that I just entered the Jianghu, and now I'm leaving..." Yun Han looked at Chen Yuan with a faint smile.

"Remember well in your next life, the principle that there is always someone better than you." Chen Yuan raised his hand, and a Gangqi coalesced.

"I'll remember it well. I won't forget it in my next life."

Yun Han nodded solemnly.

Then, he closed his eyes.

He didn't choose to resist meaninglessly, because he had already lost, completely and utterly lost. Even if he resisted, it would only be humiliating himself.

The Gangqi was launched by Chen Yuan and landed on Yun Han's body.

In an instant, his vitality was completely extinguished, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

His body was separated from his head.

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, opened his Heavenly Eye, and that touch of azure light quickly poured into him from Yun Han's body. The Destiny Altar rotated, and a new opportunity and insight dawned in his heart.

"Earth's Core Fire Vein Refines Demonic Weapon, Hidden Soldier Valley Hides Extreme Danger!"
