Xi Yu appeared and, without uttering a single word, immediately took action!

She raised her right hand.

This hand appears delicate and powerless.

But when she slightly spread her five fingers and made a light press in the direction of Chen Lingxi!

A strange power suddenly burst forth from her body, transforming into a gigantic talisman in the Void!

As soon as the talisman was unleashed, all the Spiritual Qi, cloud energy, water vapor, mist, and even the faint Qi emanating from plants, trees, mountains, and rivers scattered in the Void were captured by her palm and fell into Xi Yu's hand!

Rumble!

Xi Yu struck out with his palm!

The talisman, Interconnection the terrifying Spiritual Qi, immediately pressed down on Chen Lingxi.

This talisman exuded an unimaginably terrifying aura, incredibly powerful.

Chen Lingxi had faced many people, but he had never seen such a deadly move.

Before the talisman even landed, the immense pressure caused the Void to explode!

Chen Lingxi remained seated on the Longevity Bridge, her aura equally calm.

Suddenly, his spiritual energy surged and circulated, an extremely dense amount of spiritual energy emanating from his body.

The next instant, Chen Lingxi also stretched out a hand.

He stretched out his right hand and suddenly made a move from the Void!

The Heaven-Seizing Seal technique was already in full operation within his Qi Sea.

He did not plunder the Spiritual Qi; on the contrary, he drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred feet radius.

Heaven-Seizing Seal!

In the Void, a massive spiritual energy handprint instantly materialized!

The giant handprint was also wreathed in the golden light of Mysterious Qi, the silvery-white light of Sword-Edge Qi, and the golden light of Thunder Treasure Qi!

The three colors of light intertwined and swirled, while a highly condensed vortex of Spiritual Qi spun wildly in the palm of his hand.

"Subtle Insight Divine Ability!"

A glint of light flashed in Shi Hong's eyes as he Zhuozhao River.

It is truly difficult to cultivate a Divine Ability to the Subtle Insight level in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven.

"Of these two, one is Xi Yu, a member of the Quexing Xi Family. I have long heard of his formidable strength."

"But who is the other person?"

As Shi Hong wandered...

Xi Yu's talisman and Chen Lingxi's large handprint met in the Void.

In an instant, a terrifying shockwave exploded at the point of collision, and the terrifying shockwave and spiritual light transformed into visible ripples that swept wildly in all directions.

Wherever it went, it destroyed everything in its path.

The clouds in the sky dispersed.

In that mountain forest, many trees were uprooted by this shockwave!

After that palm strike, Chen Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly.

"This Xi Yu is indeed extraordinary. His cultivation is incredibly profound. The spiritual energy contained in this Divine Ability is even more refined and pure than mine."

Having never Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation, Chen Lingxi absorbed two streams of Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi, gaining the potential for Spirit Aperture. He knew that ordinary Ninth Floor practitioners were no match for him.

But Xi Yu was completely different.

"These are the so-called geniuses of major sects."

Chen Lingxi felt a chill run down her spine, her thoughts racing, but her actions never faltered.

The Mysterious Qi Sea up, and he activated the Heaven-Seizing Seal Divine Ability once more, transforming it into an even thicker golden handprint, which he slammed down fiercely towards Xi Yu.

Xi Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and the Willow Leaf beneath her feet shimmered with spiritual light, instantly carrying her straight up into the sky.

It was like a whirlwind sweeping across the sky, barely dodging Chen Lingxi's terrifying palm strike.

At the same time, Xi Yu formed a hand seal and pointed towards Chen Lingxi in the Void.

Instantly, an astonishing surge of spiritual energy erupted from her fingers, transforming into countless figures that, like clones, rushed madly toward Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi drew the Thunderlight Treasure Sword from his waist.

The moment the longsword was drawn, the world was suddenly illuminated.

The lightning patterns on the sword flashed continuously, and countless bolts of lightning leaped out from the sword, enveloping the surrounding area of 10 zhang.

When those spiritual energy clones collided with these lightning rays, they suddenly exploded, filled with terrifying spiritual energy power, transforming into sharp beams of energy that pierced towards Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi remained unmoved.

He let those sharp gusts of air crash against him.

And at this moment...

The Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon [Thunder Garment Method] had already covered his body, and these sharp energies dissipated after striking him.

"The methods are indeed bizarre."

Chen Lingxi remained calm as the Thunder Treasure Qi circulated rapidly within his Qi Sea, flowing into the sword through his meridians. At that moment, the lightning on the sword surged to its maximum, transforming into a golden sword aura over ten feet long!

Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword!

It was as if a real bolt of lightning had been plucked from the heavens and placed in Chen Lingxi.

Kill!

The Heavenly King Sword's light was like a thunder spear thrown down by the Heavenly King, slashing straight at Xi Yu!

Where the sword flashed, the Void turned white, lightning crackled, and its power was terrifying!

"A person within the Thunder Pool..."

Many people recognized this swordsmanship Divine Ability: "This person's Divine Ability is extremely profound; he cannot be defeated by force!"

Xi Yu neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

She stood on that Willow Leaf, her aloof face devoid of any expression.

She simply raised her right hand, her fingers moving lightly in the Void, as if drawing a talisman.

Words lit up in the Void, and a blurry, illusory figure appeared behind Xi Yu.

The phantom, dressed in a Daoist robe, stretched out its two hands and slammed them down hard against the terrifying Thunderclap Sword Light.

This seemingly casual strike was actually filled with astonishing power, with an unimaginable surge of energy erupting from it.

Chen Lingxi the Heavenly King Sword, but it shattered instantly under the slap of the Daoist robe phantom. The sword light flowed and lightning scattered, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

Chen Lingxi was amazed, but her spiritual energy continued to circulate without stopping.

The Longevity Bridge beneath his feet suddenly burst forth. This bridge, engraved with countless ancient runes, exuded a powerful spiritual Divine Ability, roaring like a giant dragon as it crashed headlong into Xi Yu.

Xi Yu her fingers.

A terrifying force burst forth from a ring on her finger.

The force was invisible yet incredibly heavy, like a mountain descending from the sky and crashing onto the Longevity Bridge.

This ring is of unknown origin, and its power is astonishing.

When that force struck the Longevity Bridge, the seemingly indestructible Longevity Bridge cracked inch by inch, and the runes on the bridge became dull and lifeless.

In an instant, the Longevity Bridge collapsed!

"To block my way at the Changsheng Bridge of the Xi family... those who hold such a grudge are far too presumptuous."

Xi Yu finally spoke, and as his Divine Sense flowed, a voice entered Chen Lingxi's ear.

Chen Lingxi looked at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu remained standing on that Willow Leaf, his blue robes fluttering in the wind, his face still expressionless.

"Both are from the Ninth Floor, yet her spiritual energy is so profound..." Chen Lingxi was secretly shocked, while the two pale golden lightning bolts in her eyes shone even brighter.

"Such a person is indeed worthy of my response with the [Twelve Heavenly Drum Peals]."

Chen Lingxi was not afraid; on the contrary, she was very excited.

Even Xi Yu, who was looking at him at this moment, was slightly surprised to see the fighting spirit hidden in Chen Lingxi's eyes.

These two were about to make another move...

At that moment...

Several miles away, atop a mountain, a woman's figure appeared.

The woman was about thirty years old and wore a mask.

The mask covered most of her face, revealing only her eyes and a small part of her chin.

Those eyes were extremely sharp, with pale gold pupils, like two golden jewels embedded in their sockets, and a faint golden halo seemed to flow between them as they looked around.

She was dressed in a dark red, form-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

She stood there like a divine bow, causing the surrounding atmosphere to tense up completely.

And indeed, she was carrying a large bow on her back.

The bow was enormous, almost as tall as her, and its body was dark in color.

If Chen Lingxi were to sense the spiritual light emanating from the Cauldron Vessel at this moment, he would know that the mark of this person within that Cauldron Vessel light is three characters.

[Emperor Bow Earl]!

I don't know if this is her title, or if her name is indeed Emperor Bow Earl!

But then they saw the Emperor Bow Earl bend his bow!

Her vital Qi and Blood erupted like a volcano, and dark golden Qi and Blood gushed out from her pores!

This is pure Qi and Blood.

This person is not a cultivator at all!

All that could be seen was the "Mystic Eyes" flowing in Emperor Bow Earl's eyes, his aura firmly locking onto Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu!

The next instant, she released the bowstring!

Two terrifying Qi and Blood, formed from concentrated Qi and Blood, suddenly appeared on the great bow that had previously been empty.

Emits extreme crimson light, tearing through the heavy sky, and shooting towards Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu respectively!

This woman possessed an unknown and terrifying level of cultivation; she drew her bow and fired an arrow, intending to kill Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu simultaneously.

The arrow pierced the air, its power terrifying.

Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu were both startled!

Both players suddenly withdrew!

Chen Lingxi snorted coldly, and a bolt of Thunderclap Sword Light slashed out like a cleaving sword, colliding violently with the arrow of Qi and Blood that was shooting towards him.

The shockwave swept in again, and thunder exploded.

The arrow of Qi and Blood was shattered into pieces, and the Thunderlight Treasure Sword that Chen Lingxi was also trembling slightly.

"This person is extremely strong."

Chen Lingxi's eyes flashed. "Even stronger than Demon Lord Zhang!"

Meanwhile, in the distance, Xi Yu did not try to withstand the arrow of Qi and Blood. Instead, he rode the Willow Leaf beneath his feet and flew straight away, instantly reaching the clouds.

Unexpectedly, this arrow of Qi and Blood was relentless, even making a turn in Void before shooting towards Xi Yu.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, and with a flick of her finger, another Willow Leaf flew out, swelling in the wind and transforming into a green barrier.

The barrier appeared as fragile as water.

But when this arrow of Qi and Blood Qi and Blood struck the barrier, the power within it vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

This Xi Yu bears so many magical treasures.

Just then, Chen Lingxi was about to retreat from the arrow.

Just then, a hearty laugh suddenly came from afar.

"Hahaha..."

The laughter contained a deep and powerful force of Qi and Blood and blood, as if someone had struck a thousand giant drums underground, causing the water mist on the river surface to surge and churn endlessly.

Before the laughter subsided, a deep, thunderous voice boomed across the land. "Why don't we join forces and kill this Emperor Bow Earl first?"

"Quexing Xi Yu... and fellow Thunder Pool Lei Chi, what do you two think?"

Chen Lingxi looked in the direction of the sound.

Then the burly man on the Zhuozhao River, appeared even taller.

His body was covered in bulging muscles, like countless dragons coiled around him, each muscle sharp and angular, brimming with explosive power.

Without a doubt, this person was none other than Shi Hong, the King of Fuguang of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this moment, Shi Hong was still holding a human head in his hand.

The blood on the head was still wet, and the face was still clearly recognizable.

It was the head of a young man, his face still bearing the traces of fear and resentment he felt before his death.

The dark golden light above his head had not completely dissipated, clearly indicating that he was also a contender for the throne, who had just died at the hands of Shi Hong.

Shi Hong casually tossed the head aside.

"This woman doesn't cultivate spiritual energy, only Qi and Blood; she's clearly not Truth-Seekers..."

"Local ants dare to covet the Cauldron Vessel?" Shi Hong laughed loudly, his murderous eyes fixed on Emperor Bow Earl, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.

"But little did he know that this fragment of the Slaying-Force Cauldron would ultimately fall into my hands, Shi Hong!" As he spoke, his spiritual energy surged, and a scorching pressure swept outwards in all directions.

Emperor Bow Earl stood silently on a cliff in the distance.

She took a step back, and three Heavenly Boat immediately appeared in the clouds not far away.

Three women, each at the Qi Circulation Eighth Floor, revealed their presence by using a unique formation to elevate their spiritual Qi to the Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation level.

The three stood behind Emperor Bow Earl, making their positions clear.

As Chen Lingxi quietly retreated, a voice suddenly came from not far away...

"Fellow Daoist Chen, where are you going?"

The voice was gentle and warm, like that of a well-read and refined scholar, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone.

As the sound faded, the distant sea of clouds suddenly surged.

A figure slowly emerged from the churning clouds.

The figure was tall and slender, dressed in a gray-blue robe, with long hair cascading down his shoulders, and a hideous mask covering his face.

The mask and the gentle voice were completely at odds, yet it belonged to the Human Immortal, Wu Mohe.

Wu Mohe arrived riding on clouds.

He stood above the surging sea of clouds, looking down at Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu on the riverbank.

Beneath the mask, the deep eyes revealed no emotion, only an unfathomable calm.

However, Chen Lingxi could sense from the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy flowing around him that this person's cultivation was profound, probably no less than that of Xi Yu.

"I paid a great price to have Credit Peddler perform a divination for this Slaying-Force Cauldron!"

"It is believed that the ownership of the Slaying-Force Cauldron will fall to Xi Yu of the Quexing Xi Family, or perhaps... to Chen Lingxi!"

As the spiritual energy of Wu Mohe circulated, his voice resounded Void.

For a moment, everyone present looked at Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu.

The Void here was eerily silent.

Shi Hong, Emperor Bow Earl, and many others around them all turned their attention to Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Maha, with your cultivation at the Tenth Floor, surely wouldn't scheme against two Ninth Floor figures..."

Shi Hong suddenly spoke, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

Emperor Bow Earl stood on a high place, drew his bow again, and aimed at Xi Yu.

In an instant, the situation here changed. Originally, Shi Hong suggested that they kill Emperor Bow Earl, who only cultivated qi Qi and Blood, first!

At this moment, however, intense murderous intent was directed at Chen Lingxi and Xi Yu.

Chen Lingxi frowned slightly, sensing the numerous murderous intent emanating from them.

"What's wrong with Wu Mohe?"
