Chu Feng (Xiao Yan)'s Terror, Evil Infant Acquired.

Chu Yun saw the iron hammer smashing towards him. He used his learned movement technique to easily evade the attack, appearing behind Tie Feng.

Tie Feng sneered and directly unleashed a black fist imprint with his left fist, its power enough to shatter a house, aimed at Chu Yun behind him.

He raised his Spirit Hammer high, and black lightning appeared above it, attaching itself to the hammer's body before it slammed into the ground.

RUMBLE!!

Several lightning dragons erupted from the ground, fiercely lashing out at Chu Yun.

Chu Yun looked at the ferocious incoming power. He didn't retreat. A spiritual light materialized in his palm, transforming into a bloody glow and surging forward, forming a wall of blood energy.

Tie Feng's attacks were all blocked by this wall of blood energy, unable to advance an inch.

"Hmm?"

Tie Feng's expression shifted slightly.

A cultivator at the early Golden Core Realm could actually withstand his barrage.

It seemed this person indeed had some strength.

He swung his Spirit Hammer again, summoning four hammer shadows that, along with his own body, surrounded Chu Yun from all sides.

Chu Yun dispersed the blood wall. The power of the Heavenly Blood Divine Root Bone had already merged into his bloodline. This blood wall was a manifestation of his bloodline power.

"Your moves are just like this."

"Your power is decent, but your speed is too slow."

From the previous few exchanges, Chu Yun had already figured out everything about Tie Feng's hammer techniques.

Now, it was his turn.

"Heavenly Blood Seal!"

Vast blood energy surged from Chu Yun's palm, condensing into a giant blood energy seal. The blood energy within seemed capable of devouring everything as he fiercely struck it out.

BANG!!

The Heavenly Blood Seal clashed head-on with the hammer shadows. The blood energy was instantly released, transforming into countless blood shadows in an instant, engulfing Tie Feng and his hammer shadows.

"Aaaargh!!!"

Trapped within the blood energy, Tie Feng's body was corroded by the countless streams of blood energy, causing him to let out miserable screams of agony.

"What!"

"How is this possible?! Is that Tie Feng's scream?!"

"This guy, Xiao Yan, his moves are all related to blood. Could he be from the Blood God Sect?!"

"Highly likely! But this is just too shocking!"

"To fight Tie Feng, crossing three minor realms, and actually gain the upper hand!"

Many people in the spectator stands, upon hearing Tie Feng's screams, had expressions of utter astonishment.

Luo Feng was also both shocked and confused.

"Where did His Highness learn these techniques from?"

Xu Nian, the chief steward of Misty Rain Pavilion, stood on the control platform at this moment, his expression quite thoughtful, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Inside the dueling arena.

Tie Feng frantically swung his great hammer, smashing at the blood energy. The desire to survive drove him to an extreme burst, and he actually smashed a gap.

His body, already corroded, had just escaped.

Chu Yun met him head-on.

"Xiao Yan!!"

"Die for me!!"

Tie Feng's face was filled with madness and hatred. Empowered by his peak Golden Core Realm strength, his Spirit Hammer collided with dozens of times its force, like a mountain pressing down, and smashed heavily towards Chu Yun in front of him.

"Myriad Demon Fist!"

Chu Yun's fist was dyed with purple-black spiritual energy. Behind him, it seemed as if a demon god was assisting him as his fist light directly blasted out, obliterating Tie Feng's great hammer on the spot.

BANG!!

"Ah..."

Along with Tie Feng himself, he was sent flying by the power of this fist light! His internal organs and his Golden Core were instantly shattered by the domineering force of the fist light!

His mangled corpse eventually fell to the ground dozens of meters away, on the verge of death, no longer able to rise.

After this scene unfolded, the entire spectator stand fell silent.

Everyone's expressions were frozen, as if turned to stone, fixed in that moment.

Even Xu Nian's expression was one of extreme shock, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"Tie... Tie Feng lost?"

"Did I really see that right? This Xiao Yan's power completely crushed Tie Feng!"

"The strength of the early Golden Core Realm, stronger than the peak Golden Core Realm? This... is this even human?"

"This Xiao Yan... is too terrifying. After tonight's battle, his name will spread throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty. He'll become famous overnight!"

"This is a monstrous talent! An absolute monstrous talent!"

"I'm afraid major powers and even the royal family will try to recruit him. Of course, that's assuming he's not from the Blood God Sect..."

Chu Yun ignored the chatter from the stands and walked up to Tie Feng.

A duelist whose cultivation was completely crippled, his fate was practically sealed.

He decided to be thorough and see the good deed through to the end.

Chu Yun struck Tie Feng's head with a palm, bringing him release.

He hoped that in his next life, Tie Feng wouldn't have to be a duelist kept as a pet.

"This duel, Xiao Yan wins!"

Xu Nian's voice echoed from the control booth.

Chu Yun left the dueling arena via the lift and met up with Luo Feng and Venerable Wan Lei.

"Your Highness..."

Luo Feng was about to speak when Chu Yun interrupted him, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Luo Feng immediately closed his mouth and nodded.

"Hahahaha!"

"Congratulations, Young Master Xiao Yan."

"Winning by crossing three minor realms, Young Master Xiao Yan's talent truly deserves to be called an ancient prodigy!"

"I wonder what kind of sect could cultivate a peerless genius like Young Master Xiao Yan. It's truly admirable."

Xu Nian, accompanied by two elders from the Misty Rain Pavilion, walked over, smiling and praising.

Chu Yun understood his intention: to probe his background.

He heard himself say, "Steward Xu is too kind. I, Xiao, am from the Xiao Family of Wutan City, merely an obscure, minor family."

"Today's victory was purely by luck."

"The Xiao Family of Wutan City?" Xu Nian had never heard of such a place in the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, he didn't doubt it and immediately smiled, "Young Master Xiao Yan is too modest. Everyone here today witnessed your performance with their own eyes. There's no need to belittle yourself."

Chu Yun smiled faintly. "Steward Xu, could I have my reward now?"

"Of course!"

"Young Master Xiao Yan can choose anything from the second tier of prizes in our Misty Rain Pavilion's list." Xu Nian said.

"I've already chosen. I want that peak Nirvana Realm Evil Infant." Chu Yun replied.

"Evil Infant?"

"Young Master Xiao Yan, this peak Nirvana Realm Evil Infant is a very dangerous item. If it were accidentally released, even a Venerable Realm expert would have to spend considerable effort to subdue it."

"Are you sure you want this, Young Master Xiao Yan?" Xu Nian confirmed repeatedly.

Chu Yun answered firmly, "I am sure."

"Alright, I'll have someone bring it over immediately."

Xu Nian didn't delay and immediately ordered someone to retrieve it.

At this moment, Chu Yun noticed at least a thousand pairs of eyes looking at him from all directions.

Their gazes held various expressions: shock, admiration, confusion, and some even carried intense anger and hatred. It was likely they had lost too much on the previous bets.

With Tie Feng dead, they could only direct their hatred towards Chu Yun.

However, Chu Yun didn't care. The more people hated him, the better it was for him.

Not long after, an elder from the Misty Rain Pavilion brought over a purple box, which contained the sealed peak Nirvana Realm Evil Infant.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, here you go."

Xu Nian handed the item to him.

Chu Yun confirmed and accepted it, then nodded. "Then I'll take my leave."

"Please go slowly, Young Master. We welcome you to visit the Misty Rain Pavilion again." Xu Nian smiled leisurely.
