Venerable

Drip, drip, drip...

In his arms, the Gray Mist Zone Detector vibrated.

Ye Cang quickly took it out and looked. He saw a red dot rapidly moving away.

"They found me?"

Looking at the red dot, a flash of inspiration crossed Ye Cang's mind.

"If they see me and run, it's definitely not Xue Long."

Swish!

Instantly, Ye Cang charged straight toward where the red dot was about to disappear.

His speed was incredible. In just two to three kilometers, Ye Cang had already appeared behind Luo Shan.

"It's you! Die!"

Seeing Luo Shan, Ye Cang didn't hesitate and directly slashed down with his sword.

"No, spare me! All my Luo Family's assets are yours!"

Sensing the killing intent, Luo Shan turned his head and saw Ye Cang already behind him. He hurriedly begged for mercy.

But unfortunately...

Ye Cang had no intention of sparing him.

Boom!

Weapons clashed, the ground cracked, and Luo Shan was directly smashed into the ground by the violent force.

Pfft...

Blood spurted from his mouth. His eyes stared at Ye Cang in horror, his face filled with visible fear.

Compared to before, Ye Cang's strength had increased by tens of tons.

He couldn't even block a single sword strike.

Pfft...

The next moment, a 'King Slayer Flying Sword' pierced through the back of his head.

[Life Energy: 120]

A peak General could provide 120 points of Life Energy.

Drip, drip, drip...

An alarm sounded. Before he could even look at the detector, a furious roar penetrated the Gray Mist and echoed in his ears.

"Die!"

Amidst the sonic boom, Xue Long appeared in front of him in an instant.

The blood-red wind coiled around the long spear in his hand, like an enraged, wild dragon, charging towards Ye Cang's face.

"Get lost!"

Seeing this, Ye Cang didn't hesitate and directly slashed out with his sword.

Boom!

The moment the two forces collided, the earth trembled and tore apart. Ye Cang was directly sent back over ten meters, his legs plowing a deep沟壑 in the ground.

"Huh?"

After just one exchange, Xue Long instantly felt that something was wrong.

Ye Cang's strength had become even greater.

"Ants are just ants. Without becoming a War Venerable, you're still just a slightly bigger ant. Die for me!"

Xue Long roared furiously, and terrifying killing intent erupted from the long spear in his hand once more.

"Blood Wind Frenzied Slaughter!"

Facing Xue Long charging at him, this time Ye Cang did not dodge. He directly met the attack with his sword.

After adding points, his strength was constantly improving.

At the same time, as Life Energy disappeared bit by bit, memories of cultivating the Combat Skill 'Aurora Sword Wings' gradually appeared in Ye Cang's mind.

Clang, clang, clang...

Swords and spears clashed wildly.

As the battle progressed, these memories were synchronizing with his body.

He activated the Blood Drop Artistic Conception to its limit, and the God Slaying Sword in his hand glowed red.

With a sword strike, the Artistic Conceptions clashed, cutting through the oppressive force that Xue Long was enveloping him with.

However, at the same time, even more pressure enveloped him.

Xue Long was also unleashing his full power.

Every collision, Ye Cang was blasted back.

However, Ye Cang showed no fear or hesitation in his eyes.

He counterattacked madly.

Several minutes later.

At this moment, Ye Cang's face was pale, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

The God Slaying Sword in his hand was already covered in chips, and his Combat Suit was torn with countless cracks.

But he still didn't give up.

BOOM!

His strength was pushed to the limit.

All Life Energy was added to his stats.

His 'Physique' attribute had already reached a staggering 706 points.

His cultivation level reached High-level General.

His normal strength was 70.6 tons. With the double bonus from Artistic Conception and Combat Skill, plus the 70 tons from mental strength.

His ultimate strength had reached 281.8 tons.

Far exceeding a peak General.

Compared to Xue Long, he was still quite a bit behind.

"To be able to fight me at the General cultivation level for this long, you have reason to be proud."

"Now, die!"

Xue Long looked at the swaying Ye Cang, his eyes filled with shock.

He never expected that a mere General could fight him to this extent.

However...

This is where it ends!

"Blood Dragon's Fury!"

Xue Long slowly raised his spear, the terrifying power of Artistic Conception empowering it, emitting a soul-stirring might.

"Come on! Just a little more!"

Looking at the attack Xue Long was condensing, Ye Cang's eyes were exceptionally determined.

"Die!"

The spear was thrown, the sonic boom tearing through the air.

BOOM!

In an instant, the spear was before Ye Cang.

"Bastard! Stop!"

Just as Ye Cang was about to block, a long-handled axe suddenly arrived from afar, striking the spear.

RUMBLE!

An astonishing clash of power erupted, creating a deep pit dozens of meters in diameter before Ye Cang.

Ye Cang was pushed back more than ten meters by the shockwave.

Pfft...

On the other side, Xue Long spat out a mouthful of blood.

Artistic Conception is related to willpower. Being severed by overwhelming force, he suffered a backlash and was not feeling well.

"Hm? Who dares to stop me!"

He glared angrily, looking in the direction the long-handled axe came from.

There, two figures were rapidly flying over.

Ye Cang also turned his head, looking towards the person who saved him.

"Ye Cang, thank goodness, you're alright!"

Wang Xu rushed to Ye Cang's side and immediately took out a tube of medical potion, injecting it into Ye Cang's body.

"Hall Master Wang!"

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Cang was a bit stunned.

He never expected Wang Xu to find him here.

"I tried calling you, but you didn't answer. I thought something had happened to you, but your phone's GPS kept changing, so as soon as the strong fighters from the martial arts hall arrived, I hurried to follow."

As he spoke, Wang Xu gestured.

"This is Venerable Hong Chen, a War Venerable level expert from my Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall in Vermilion Bird King City!"

Hearing this, Ye Cang looked at the person.

This was a middle-aged man with a burly build and a stern face.

Seeing Ye Cang look over, he was also sizing Ye Cang up.

"Ye Cang greets Venerable Hong!"

Ye Cang cupped his fists and bowed.

"Not bad! To be able to last this long under a War Venerable, you truly didn't make me come all this way for nothing."

After speaking, he looked at Xue Long not far away.

"Are you the War Venerable seed from my Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall that you want to kill?"

In his plain voice, there was a chilling killing intent.

Buzz!

The next moment, an invisible force pressed down on Xue Long with a roar.

In Ye Cang's eyes, behind Hong Chen beside him, a volcano burning with raging flames seemed about to erupt, its aura exceptionally terrifying.

Pfft...

Xue Long spat out another mouthful of blood.

A blood-red gale spun around him, also emitting an astonishing aura.

However, compared to Hong Chen's, the gap was very obvious.

"This person killed my brother, this revenge must be repaid!"

"Hm?"

Xue Long's reply caused a hint of surprise to flash in Hong Chen's eyes.

"Your will is firm, no wonder you could break through to War Venerable in this small town, but unfortunately..."

Hong Chen shook his head, his figure flashed, and he had already arrived in front of the weapon, picking it up.

"Considering your cultivation hasn't been easy, retreat now, and I won't kill you!"

Looking at Hong Chen, unwillingness flashed in Xue Long's eyes.

But feeling the pressure of the other's Artistic Conception, Xue Long knew clearly that he was no match.

He glanced at Hong Chen, then his gaze fixed intently on Ye Cang.

"Just a little more, just a little more, and I could have killed this little bastard!"

After a few breaths, Xue Long snorted coldly, just about to leave, when suddenly a figure appeared beside him.

"Heh heh! Venerable Hong has quite the imposing manner!"

This person sneered, emitting a powerful aura.

The pressure that had been enveloping Xue Long instantly shattered.

"So that's why you were following like a tail, it's you!"

Hong Chen looked coldly at the newcomer, his expression unchanged.

"It's City Lord Huang! He actually followed!"

A hint of shock flashed in Wang Xu's eyes.

"It's not good to bully newcomers. Venerable Hong, you've come a long way. Since your hands are itching for a fight, I'll spar with you."

Saying this, Huang Heyu took out a large hammer from behind him.

"As for their matters, they can resolve them themselves. What do you think?"
