Old Bastard, I'll Blast You to Death, You Son of a Bitch!

Then, a surge of powerful True Qi erupted from Li Ran's body, forming a protective shield of True Qi on his body surface.

The protective shield of True Qi was incredibly thick, gleaming with Golden Light, and almost tangible.

This is also the hallmark of a Golden Core Cultivator: the ability to harness their own True Qi to form a defensive shield.

While condensing his True Qi shield, Li Ran also pressed down with one of his hand seals.

"Boom!"

The mountain of True Qi that had been suspended in the void pressed down on the sword force unleashed by Chen Changqing.

However, with just one exchange, the mountain of True Qi was torn apart.

"Bang!"

Despite its ferocious power, the sword's force remained undiminished, slashing straight down in front of Li Ran and striking his True Qi shield.

"Snap!"

A cracking sound was heard.

Upon closer inspection, cracks were rapidly spreading across Li Ran's True Qi shield.

Until the very end, it shattered with a deafening roar!

The moment the shield shattered, a terrifying sword aura struck Li Ran directly.

"Puff!"

Caught off guard, Li Ran coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.

With a muffled groan, he was violently thrown back, flying dozens of feet before barely managing to regain his footing.

Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.

They stared in disbelief, dumbfounded.

No one expected that a Core Formation cultivator could seriously injure Golden Core expert!

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

"This?"

"Am I seeing things? Li Ran was seriously injured by that kid's sword?"

"That's Golden Core expert! He's only at the Core Formation stage, how did he manage that?"

"What kind of Divine Ability did he just display?"

"..."

Everyone was astonished.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that a Core Formation Cultivator could actually defeat Golden Core expert!

Upon seeing this, Wang Yang's eyes widened in astonishment, and he muttered in surprise:

"Just what kind of monster is my junior brother?"

"That Li Ran is Golden Core Realm expert!"

He had been extremely uneasy at first.

Unexpectedly, Chen Changqing actually made Li Ran vomit blood, and even shattered his protective golden shield with a single sword strike.

Ran Hua was utterly shocked upon seeing this.

"Senior Brother Chen is terrifyingly powerful!"

He couldn't help but gasp in surprise, his eyes filled with shock.

At the same time, deep down, he also developed a stronger admiration for Chen Changqing!

On the other side, a look of surprise flashed across Chen Changqing's eyes when he saw that Li Ran was still alive.

"He's still alive?"

He muttered something under his breath.

It should be noted that before this, his Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique had been consistently successful, never failing before!

This is the first time he's ever made a mistake.

Even with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, he was unable to kill his opponent.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing calmed down.

He knew very well that Li Ran was, after all, a Golden Core Realm expert, and could not be compared to Core Formation Cultivator.

"The foundation of the Golden Core Realm expert."

"Truly extraordinary!"

Chen Changqing sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Li Ran, who had stabilized himself in the void, raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

When he looked at Chen Changqing again, the killing intent in his eyes surged dramatically!

He had already told Chen Changqing about it before.

If Chen Changqing is willing to back down, he can spare his life.

Who would have thought that Chen Changqing not only didn't appreciate it, but even used a strange Sword Drawing Technique to seriously injure him!

The more Li Ran thought about it, the more his anger burned.

"Kid."

"I must say, your sword strike just now was indeed very powerful!"

"Even Golden Core expert like myself can be injured."

"Unfortunately, Golden Core is still just Golden Core!"

"How dare you, a mere Core Formation Core Formation, defy me?"

While saying this, Li Ran was filled with mixed emotions.

Thinking to himself, Chen Changqing truly lived up to his reputation as a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land.

He almost got caught off guard today and was killed by Chen Changqing.

Besides, Li Ran also deeply admired the sword strike that Chen Changqing had just unleashed.

In his view, only Sacred Ground like Mount Shu could possess such powerful Divine Abilities.

It can give Core Formation Cultivators the strength to fight against Golden Core Cultivators.

After a moment's thought, Li Ran snapped out of his reverie, his gaze turning cold, and continued:

"Young man, if I'm not mistaken..."

"With your skill level, you could probably only use that sword technique once, right?"

"So, what's next..."

At this point, Li Ran paused slightly, his expression turning extremely sinister, and he spoke in a cold, sharp voice:

"This is your death day!!"

At this moment, Li Ran was completely enraged, no longer caring about whether it Mount Shu or not.

In his view, at worst, he could kill Chen Changqing, leave the area, and seek refuge with other forces.

This world is not the world of Mount Shu.

Why worry about not having a place to call home?

Seeing that Li Ran harbored murderous intent towards him, Chen Changqing suddenly smiled and said:

"You're right. I can't use that kind of swordsmanship many times in a short period of time."

"But do you think I have no other trump cards?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ran's expression changed drastically.

Deep in his heart, an unprecedented sense of crisis arose for no reason, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Indeed, Chen Changqing was quite peculiar.

He wasn't sure either.

Was Chen Changqing bluffing him, or did he really still have the Token?

While Li Ran in a daze, Chen Changqing didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, Dao Gold Talisman appeared in his hand.

The moment the Talisman appeared, it emitted a terrifying aura.

It is covered with dense and mysterious runes.

Earlier, when he left Mount Shu, Elder Liu Mu gave Chen Changqing this Talisman, which contained the full power of Liu Mu Late Golden Core strength!

This was meant to save Chen Changqing's life!

Even now, Li Ran hasn't been killed by Chen Changqing's Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.

Then we'll have to use this Talisman.

"Um?"

Upon seeing Chen Changqing take out the Talisman, Li Ran's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

With his sharp eyesight, he naturally noticed it at a glance.

The Talisman in Chen Changqing's hand was extraordinary; the terrifying power it contained made him tremble even with the slightest sense of it.

"Golden Core Talisman?"

After a brief silence, Li Ran exclaimed in surprise.

He had just been wondering if Chen Changqing was trying to scare him.

It now appears that what he said wasn't false; he actually did have a trump card up his sleeve!

"Old man!"

"I'll blast you to death, you son of a bitch!"

Just as Li Ran was stunned, a resolute look flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes. He made up his mind and directly activated the Talisman.

"Boom!"

As Chen Changqing activated Talisman, a dazzling Golden Light suddenly emanated from it.

Then, from within the seemingly burning Talisman, a tremendous energy surged forth like a tsunami.

The terrifying power, condensed into a mighty force, surged forth, heading straight for Li Ran.
