Ye Xingchen's aura changed. He was like a young god as he said, "My strength isn't something you can measure!"
As he spoke, the Dao Mark in his sea of energy appeared and circulated in his sea of energy. Coupled with the Eternal Vitality of the Heavenly Emperor's Creation Art, the True Qi in his body quickly recovered.
"Stubborn!" Zhang Tianyang's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Zhang Tianyang, stop talking nonsense with him. Send him on his way now," Venerable Scarlet Blood said.
"Ye Xingchen is too terrifying. He actually injured the county governor with one punch."
"I'm afraid he's suffering a heavy blow from Venerable Scarlet Blood."
"It's a pity that a young genius is about to die."
Seeing this scene, many martial artists felt it was a pity.
They felt that Ye Xingchen's strength was indeed terrifying. He could be ranked in the top three in Taihu Prefecture. Unfortunately, the path of a genius was always full of twists and turns, and he could die if he wasn't careful.
Some people felt that it was a pity. If Ye Xingchen could escape, there might be an Arcana Realm powerhouse in Taihu Prefecture in the next decade or so.
Whoosh!
A white ray of light appeared between Ye Xingchen's eyebrows. It was the embryonic form of condensed sword intent. He controlled the sword with Qi and activated the Blue Spirit Sword. The dense sword Qi attacked Venerable Scarlet Blood from afar.
Zhang Tianyang still didn't make a move. He was waiting for the best opportunity to capture Ye Xingchen alive.
He had been coveting the Heavenly Bloodline in Ye Xingchen's body for a long time.
If he captured Ye Xingchen and transplanted the Heavenly Bloodline, he would have a high chance of reaching the Ascension Heaven State in the future.
By then, he would be a powerhouse who could suppress the entire Xuanyu territory, not to mention the Taixu Abyss.
"Good lad, how dare you use sword intent to attack from afar." Venerable Scarlet Blood clenched his fists and constantly shook off the sword Qi that was flying over.
After a few rounds, Venerable Scarlet Blood grew impatient. He took out a pair of gloves and put them on.
Clang!
His hands collided, producing a crisp metallic sound, and sparks flew in all directions.
"Molten Fire Fist!" Venerable Scarlet Blood clenched his fists, causing his gloves to emit a lava-like energy.
Rumble!
Venerable Scarlet Blood punched out and a stream of lava turned into a fire dragon. Its entire body was covered in raging flames as it charged at Ye Xingchen.
When the Fire Dragon rushed over, all the Sword Qi that came within three feet of the Fire Dragon melted.
"Water of Wind!"
Ye Xingchen performed the third style of the Flowing Water Sword Art. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew across the sky, and a hazy drizzle fell. The drizzle was very small, but it emitted a sharp light.
Strands of Sword Qi, which were like thin threads, linked together and shot towards the fire dragon.
Puchi!
Puchi!
The rain of Sword Qi charged at the flame dragon. Even though the flame dragon could melt the rain of Sword Qi, there were too many of them, and they were exhausting the flame dragon's energy. In the end, the flame dragon was pierced through by the rain of Sword Qi and dissipated.
Rumble!
Just as Ye Xingchen slashed the Fire Dragon, Zhang Tianyang made his move.
He was about 800 meters away from Ye Xingchen, but in the blink of an eye, he blurred into motion, appearing right in front of Ye Xingchen. His fingers formed a seal, and he slammed it down from the sky.
Tiny scarlet lights appeared on his five fingers, and the seal looked like a blazing sun.
This was the Superior Spiritual Martial Technique, Scarlet Sun Seal!
The Scarlet Sun Seal landed, sealing off all the space around Ye Xingchen. A scorching aura spread out for tens of feet.
Ye Xingchen raised his hand, and all the Blood Qi in his nine acupoints gushed out, pouring into his fist, causing it to turn scarlet. He punched out.
Rumble!
The Scarlet Sun Seal collided with the fist, and Ye Xingchen instantly felt an unprecedented pressure and scorching aura enter his body, causing him to sink into the ground.
Chi!
Controlling the Indigo Spirit Sword with his sword intent, Ye Xingchen slashed out.
Zhang Tianyang retreated, dodging the sword.
Whoosh!
Ye Xingchen felt the meridians in his body burning. This was the Fire Qi contained in the Scarlet Sun Seal. It invaded his meridians and internal organs, and it continued to invade his Qi Sea.
Ye Xingchen's face changed, and the cultivation method for the third level of the Heavenly Emperor's Fortune Art flashed in his mind.
"Heaven and Earth as the furnace, Fortune as the worker, Yin and Yang as the charcoal, all things as the copper. Yin Yang Copper Furnace, condense for me!" Ye Xingchen circulated the True Qi in his Qi Sea, condensing a thirty feet tall copper furnace.
The copper furnace was black and white in color, and within it, the Yin Yang Fire burned fiercely, as if it could refine all things. And the core material that supported the Yin Yang Fire was the True Qi in Ye Xingchen's body.
Hu!
The Yin Yang Copper Furnace emitted a strong suction force, sucking the Fire Qi in his meridians and internal organs into the furnace and refining it, turning it into pure energy that merged with his body.
Just now, Ye Xingchen had focused his mind and risked his life to cultivate the third level of the Heavenly Emperor's Fortune Art, condensing the Yin Yang Copper Furnace that could swallow and refine all things.
With this furnace, the True Qi of other martial artists that invaded his body could be refined by the Yin Yang Copper Furnace, feeding it back to him.
However, the Yin Yang Copper Furnace required a strong and vigorous True Qi as fuel to operate. Fortunately, the True Qi in Ye Xingchen's body was endless, allowing him to support it.
"Yin Yang Fire!" Ye Xingchen poured the True Qi in his Qi Sea into the Yin Yang Copper Furnace, causing the Yin Yang Fire to burn fiercely.
He opened his mouth and spat out a large black and white fireball, hitting Venerable Scarlet Blood who was attacking him.
"Just a mere flame, how can it hurt me … Ah!"
Venerable Scarlet Blood didn't care at first, but in the next moment, his complexion changed. He discovered that his own Blood Qi was unable to extinguish this strange flame. Moreover, after the flame absorbed his Blood Qi, it became even more vigorous.
In just a few breaths of time, Venerable Scarlet Blood was like a man on fire, his entire body burning as he cried out in pain.
Zhang Tianyang's complexion also changed. His body flickered, arriving in front of Venerable Scarlet Blood. He revolved his True Qi, wanting to extinguish the flames on the latter's body, but who knew that as soon as his True Qi came into contact with the flames, it would evaporate.
"What kind of flame is this? Why is it so tyrannical?" Zhang Tianyang asked.
"Ah …"
Venerable Scarlet Blood was still screaming, rolling all over the place. His voice became softer and softer, as if he was on the verge of death. Finally, he completely turned into ashes that were blown away by the wind.
In the distance, the martial artists who saw this scene felt their scalps tingle, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
They never imagined that the two people who had just been suppressing Ye Xingchen, the Venerable Scarlet Blood would be burned to death by Ye Xingchen's black and white flames in the blink of an eye.
They were horrified in the depths of their hearts. What kind of flame was this? It was so tyrannical.
Even someone as strong as Venerable Scarlet Blood was unable to resist the might of this flame and was burned to death. This was too terrifying.
Zhang Tianyang's complexion was gloomy. The three of them had come together to attack Ye Xingchen, and they had originally thought that victory was in their grasp. But who knew that in just a short time, one of them would die and the other would be heavily injured?
He was the only one left. He was confident that he could kill Ye Xingchen, but if he wanted to capture him, it would be too difficult.
"This brat, ever since I stripped him of his Li Fire bloodline, he seems to have changed into a completely different person. Not only did his cultivation advance rapidly, but he also cultivated such a terrifyingly powerful martial skill." Zhang Tianyang regretted. "If I had known this would happen, I would have killed him with a single palm strike."
Ye Xingchen temporarily did not attack. He was recovering his True Qi.
