Golden Crow Treasure Blood

The precious blood of the Golden Crow Remnant contains extremely rich pure Yang energy.

This is far superior to those healing medicines. Even if a healing medicine is of extremely high grade, its effect on a Purple Blood Realm artist is limited because they can only absorb so little of it. Furthermore, the conversion of the Medicinal Power essence after absorption is slow, since the Medicinal Power of these medicines is not the same as the energy within a martial artist's body.

However, the situation is completely different with the precious blood of the Golden Crow Remnant.

Because Yi Yun absorbed the Golden Crow Remnant beast seal and condensed the Golden Crow Dharma Aspect Totem, all the essence and Pure Yang Power in the precious blood came from the same source as those within Yi Yun's body, making absorption extremely easy.

After drinking the Golden Crow Blood, Yi Yun felt as if Pure Yang Flame were burning within his body. The unrestrained energy first entered his dantian and then flowed from his dantian into his limbs and bones. This feeling was extremely comfortable!

Yi Yun's severely injured arm were slowly twitching, giving off an itchy sensation.

This means that the flesh and blood in Yi Yun's arm are growing rapidly, and the wound is healing. However, although the flesh and blood can grow quickly, it is very difficult for the meridians to reconnect.

Even the precious blood of the Golden Crow Remnant, which originated from the same source as Yi Yun, could not restore Yi Yun's arm to its original state in a short time.

"Did you take your medicine?"

Although he didn't know what Yi Yun had drunk, Murong Guang could roughly guess that it was something like the blood of wild beasts, used to heal wounds and replenish vital energy, but how effective could it be?

"Prepare to die!"

Murong Guang drew his sword, unleashing a burst of vital energy. Although he knew that even if Yi Yun drank the healing beast's blood, he wouldn't recover much, Murong Guang was still unwilling to give Yi Yun any time to catch his breath. This would introduce more variables into the outcome of the battle.

He was determined to defeat Yi Yun in one fell swoop and become a hero of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom!

The one who defeated Feng Lin, only to be defeated by himself—how glorious would that be?

"That shameless scoundrel!"

Below the stage, the warriors of Tai'a Divine City were extremely angry. Yi Yun had just drunk the healing medicine when Murong Guang couldn't wait to attack.

It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs! No matter how strong Yi Yun is, in this state, being surrounded and attacked by more than a dozen warriors from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, he will eventually be defeated, and may even be unable to defeat Murong Guang.

The thought that Yi Yun might lose to such an unknown and shameless scoundrel fueled the anger of the warriors of Tai'a Divine City.

Losing to Feng Lin is one thing, but losing to someone like that is truly infuriating.

At this moment, Murong Guang had already rushed towards Yi Yun. He brandished his long sword and laughed loudly, "Let me show you my family's 'Murong Sword Technique,' a first-rate sword technique passed down in the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom. Today, I'll let you witness it! If I can defeat you with this top-tier sword technique, then I'll have done my duty to you."

As Murong Guang spoke, he unleashed countless sword shadows with a single strike, which coalesced into a ferocious tiger that pounced upon Yi Yun.

This is a fierce tiger formed from the energy of a sword.

Roar!

The tiger roared, a thunderous sound that echoed throughout the arena, making everyone's eardrums ache!

At this moment, Yi Yun faced the fierce tiger with an indifferent expression.

He recalled the sword strike from just now. The fierce Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, after condensing into Sword Qi, had exceeded the capacity of his meridians to withstand it.

His arm hasn't fully recovered, so he can't unleash that sword strike at all. However, after consuming the precious blood of the Golden Crow Remnant, Yi Yun still has the strength to fight again. What if he restrains his vital energy and only uses one-tenth of the power of that sword strike?

In a flash of inspiration, Yi Yun switched the sword to his left hand. The scene of the Sword Palace Master cleaving the Bronze Giant's head in two with a single sword strike in his mind flashed back to the broken sword in his sea of consciousness, becoming increasingly clear.

Following the sword strike from the Sword Palace Master, Yi Yun lightly flicked his left hand.

"Snap!"

Sword Light, only as thick as a chopstick, shot out as Yi Yun swung his sword, seemingly trying to disappear into the distorted spacetime.

The Sword Light was extremely thin, but this was not because the energy it contained was weak. Rather, it was because the Sword Qi had been condensed to the extreme, and the materialized vital energy had also been highly compressed, which is why it was so thin.

This Sword Light, incomparably sharp, shot straight towards the tiger's brow!

Call out!

The Sword Light was unstoppable, piercing directly through the tiger's brow. The tiger still pounced on Yi Yun, but was passed right through by Yi Yun's Sword Light!

This sword strike, with unparalleled force, shot towards Murong Guang.

"What!?"

Murong Guang was terrified. As he retreated, he drew his sword to block!

"Bite!"

With a clang of metal clashing, Murong Guang felt a sharp pain in his arm and his hand. The long sword in his hand had been melted and pierced by the highly concentrated Pure Yang Sword, leaving a small hole about the thickness of a little finger in the middle of the blade!

Murong Guang watched helplessly as the small hole formed in an instant. Then, he vaguely heard the sound of his Protective Vital Energy being pierced. At the same time, he felt a burning sensation in his chest, a searing pain throughout his body, and his vision blurred!

He saw the spurting blood, and as if all his strength had been drained, he suddenly knelt on the ground.

Murong Guang touched his chest; his fingers were covered in blood!

"I..."

He stared in disbelief at the wound on his chest, where blood was gushing out. The wound was small, but Murong Guang knew that his body had been pierced by that Sword Light!

"How is this possible... He was clearly... seriously injured..."

Murong Guang felt dizzy, his vision became increasingly blurry, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, blood gushed from Murong Guang's chest, pooling on the ground.

People around the Divine Desolation Stage were horrified by what they saw!

Murong Guang was pierced through by Yi Yun's sword?

Just moments before, Yi Yun was severely injured and on the verge of death, while Murong Guang was at the height of his power, ready to take advantage of Yi Yun's Yi Yun and defeat him in one fell swoop.

Even from the perspective of the warriors of Tai'a Divine City, it was highly likely that Murong Guang would defeat Yi Yun.

But in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed!

The arrogant Murong Guang, after unleashing a single strike, before even truly engaging Yi Yun in combat, was pierced through the body by Yi Yun's sword, his fate unknown!

Yi Yun is already so badly injured, how can he still be so strong!?

People looked at Yi Yun, their eyelids twitching slightly, Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom. When they looked at Yi Yun, they felt a chill rise in their hearts.

At this moment, although Yi Yun's right hand had stopped trembling, it was clear that he had exhausted himself greatly, and his arm was still bleeding.

Despite appearing to be on the verge of death, he nearly killed Murong Guang with a single blow.

This is absolutely terrifying; his vitality and fighting prowess are simply those of a humanoid beast...

Just then, with a soft "whoosh," an elder from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom appeared on the Divine Desolation Stage as if by teleportation.

He helped Murong Guang and fed him medicine to treat his injuries.

At this point, Murong Guang was unable to swallow. The elder used his vital energy to send the medicine down his throat.

After examining Murong Guang's injuries, the elder's expression turned grim.

"A puncture in the left lung damaged the heart, causing it to spasm and stop supplying blood. This kind of injury is difficult to heal even with the most miraculous medicine. Yi Yun, you're ruthless!"

The White Robe elder stared intently at Yi Yun, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Those around the Divine Desolation Stage gasped in shock. When Yi Yun dealt with Kui Yu earlier, his strike had avoided Kui Yu's internal organs.

But this time it didn't happen.

For a martial artist at the Origin Foundation Realm, such a severe injury to the heart may take more than half a year to fully recover. Even the slightest strenuous activity can cause the heart to be unable to keep up with the blood supply, resulting in shortness of breath.

In their teens, the most precious time for the geniuses present, a martial artist's strength grows extremely rapidly, changing every month.

If I were to suffer a serious injury at this time, which would delay me for more than half a year, it would definitely affect my future achievements!

Facing the White Robe elder's murderous gaze, Yi Yun remained fearless. He had not violated the rules, and the elder could do nothing to him.

As expected, after the White Robe elder revealed his killing intent, the elders of Tai'a Divine City also stood up, locking their auras onto the White Robe elder. As soon as he made a move, they would all attack at once.

For a moment, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Yi Yun held the Qi Guang Sword, and blood dripped from his arm along the blade, making a soft, pattering sound that was clearly audible in the quiet arena.

"My physical condition is poor, and I have difficulty controlling my strength. From now on, I will go all out in every battle. Every sword strike I make will be aimed at vital points, without holding back in the slightest. To those of you who step into the arena, I cannot guarantee that you will survive!"

Yi Yun's words almost froze the air!

"This Yi Yun is courting death!" a martial artist from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom said angrily.

"That's too arrogant!" someone echoed.

However, these resentful people soon understood why Yi Yun did this.

The participants in the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom Overall Group Competition were a level above the Youth Group in terms of overall strength; there were simply too many of them, and each one of them was very strong.

It's impossible for Yi Yun to withstand the challenge from more than a dozen people all by himself from beginning to end.

He now tries his best to conserve his energy and stamina in every battle.

Just like in that battle, Yi Yun defeated Murong Guang seemingly easily, but was it really easy?

Actually, that's not the case. If it were easy, Yi Yun should have defeated Murong Guang calmly Blade Tomb, just like he defeated Kui Yu, thus minimizing his energy expenditure.

However, he used the Sword Intent of the Pure Yang Sword Palace. Although he only used a small part of its power, it still put a great strain on Yi Yun's meridians and physical strength.

If this continues, it won't be long before Yi Yun's vital energy is exhausted, and the meridians in his hands can't withstand it and burst. At that point, Yi Yun will be powerless to fight again.

Having been forced into this situation, will Yi Yun still hold back?

Of course not!

Anyone who dares to challenge him will pay the price!

It could result in serious injury, disability, or even death!

As a result, those who came to fight Yi Yun had to consider whether it was truly worthwhile.

They come up here only to be cannon fodder, to deplete Yi Yun's strength, but they have to pay the price of lowering their future achievements or even dying. So, no one is willing to come up here.

This is Yi Yun's tactic, a bloody, simple, yet extremely effective tactic.

As expected, when Yi Yun said this, the contestants from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom's main group all frowned. When they met Yi Yun's two cold gazes, they felt inexplicably uneasy.
