Monster, Behold My Bracelet!

I've heard that this person once studied Swordsmanship under the Supreme Sword Lord for several years.

Zhu Baichuan suppressed his shock. After all, he was a powerful figure, and Thick Earth Gang Qi surged from his body, as if he were wearing armor.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, braving the Feng Yanleng Sword Qi, charging straight ahead with a clear objective.

Even with Form Refinement Perfection, unleashing boundless Sword Intent and unparalleled Divine Ability, the physical body remains fragile, lacking any protective Gang Qi. Like a child wielding a sledgehammer, a single opportunity from him is enough to decide the course of the battle.

And at that very moment...

A figure in blue suddenly burst in from the ceiling, descending from the sky and pressing a palm down on Zhu Baichuan's head.

"Zhu Baichuan!"

Amidst the angry shout, Zhu Baichuan's expression changed drastically.

He met Jiang Ying in his youth, and the two shared a strange encounter. He developed a formidable martial arts style, never suffering a defeat in a direct External Scenery, but the only secret lay in the top of his head. This person was—

"Brother Yu?" Zhu Baichuan's pupils contracted sharply, his voice carrying a rare hint of panic, "You—"

"Are you surprised?"

Yuyang landed a palm strike, the hidden force within his palm piercing into Zhu Baichuan's vital acupoint on the top of his head like an awl, instantly breaking through his seemingly indestructible external martial arts skills.

Zhu Baichuan grunted, forcefully pushing Yuyang back, but also sustaining considerable injuries himself.

A middle-aged man named Yuyang landed in the center of the hall. In his gaze as he looked at Zhu Baichuan, there was no anger, only an indescribable sorrow.

Zhu Baichuan reached out his hand and said in a low voice, "Brother Yu, let me explain—"

"What else can be explained?" Yuyang said coldly. "I have seen Jiang Ying. Ten years of torture have left her exhausted and with a death wish. Are you saying she is wrong?"

Zhu Baichuan stood in the shadows, silent for a moment, before finally speaking, "What happened back then was beyond my control. Helian Tu took my wife and children, and threatened me with the entire Donghe County. What could I do?"

"Bullshit! Have you forgotten why Jiang Ying fought Helian Tu back then?"

Yuyang's voice suddenly rose, echoing in the hall and causing dust to fall from the beams. "You're the one who provoked the sixth of the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert! The Seven Bandits threatened to take your life, and Jiang Ying up for you, challenging Helian Tu. She could have escaped unscathed, but you were afraid of Helian Tu's retaliation and chose to betray her?!"

Zhu Baichuan opened his mouth, but didn't utter a single word.

Yuyang gritted his teeth and said, "In these ten years, not only did you never think of rescuing her, you even helped the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert to torture her in every way possible, just to force her to reveal the Xuandu inheritance! Zhu Baichuan, what exactly is under this human skin of yours?!"

The room erupted in uproar.

The guests' gazes toward Zhu Baichuan changed completely. The truth was now clear. Some were shocked, some were disdainful, and some shook their heads and sighed.

Zhu Baichuan's face alternated between pale and flushed.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces that had once greeted him with smiles, finally settling on Feng Yanleng, his eyes filled with nothing but murderous intent.

It's all because of this woman!

If it weren't for her, no one would ever know about Jiang Ying's affair; if it weren't for her, he could still be the respected and revered Master Gao Old Village.

Just then, that seductive laughter rang out again, like a silver bell, stirring everyone's heartstrings.

Some martial artists who had not yet nurtured their internal organs felt their hearts race, their blood rush to their heads, and they felt dizzy just from hearing the laughter. They could only stumble out of the hall before they felt better.

A tall, slender figure emerged from the shadows, dressed in purple, her face veiled, revealing a pair of captivating purple eyes.

It was the sixth of the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert - [Illusory Spider] Hua Nongying.

Her gaze burned like fire, fixed on Zhu Baichuan: "Was what they said just now true? That woman you imprisoned knows the whereabouts of the Xuandu inheritance?"

Zhu Baichuan said coldly, "Go ask Helian Tu about this yourself."

A ray of sword light pierced through from the side, its sharpness causing Zhu Baichuan's heart to tremble.

Fortunately, Hua Nongying arrived ahead of schedule!

Otherwise, if Yuyang and Feng Yanleng joined forces, he would be doomed today.

Now, they actually have a better chance of winning!

"Feng Meizi is so straightforward; she didn't even wait for her older sister to finish speaking."

Hua Nongying smiled faintly, her figure dispersing like ink merging into water, easily dodging the sword's edge.

"Attack! Capture Feng Yanleng, she was the last person to see Jiang Ying!" Zhu Baichuan roared. "You take care of Brother Yu, I'll take care of Feng Yanleng. Once you've dealt with Brother Yu, come help me quickly!"

Hua Nongying originally wanted to take down Feng Yanleng herself, but when she thought of the mysterious death of Lao Qi, her eyes flickered, she said "good" and stopped Yuyang.

The Feng Yanleng clashed with Zhu Baichuan's Thick Earth -based Gang Qi.

"Gentlemen!" someone shouted from the crowd, "Zhu Baichuan is a beast in human form, betraying his friends and colluding with the Seven Bandits. How can we sit idly by and do nothing!"

"That's right!"

"Give the Heroine Feng a helping hand!"

"Let's unite to punish the traitor Zhu!"

In an instant, more than a dozen figures rushed out from the banquet and surrounded Zhu Baichuan.

Among them were Rogue Cultivator at the Chain Forming Realm, as well as several martial artists at the Early Divine Ability Stage. They were either driven by righteous indignation or wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a name for themselves.

Among those who made the move, Zhu Baichuan spotted several martial artists from Donghe County.

"You scum!" Zhu Baichuan roared, his eyes bloodshot. "If it weren't for my ten years of enduring humiliation and hardship, Donghe County would have been captured by the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert long ago. How could you be here today! Today, you've listened to a little girl and are about to attack me?"

"Bullshit! You're only protecting your own family business!"

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted.

"Those Seven Bandits were provoked by you! Even if they ultimately bring disaster to Donghe County, isn't it still your fault?!"

"You're courting death!" Zhu Baichuan roared, his Gang Qi suddenly bursting outwards and sweeping across. Several Chain Forming Realm warriors at the forefront had their bones broken on the spot, flying backwards and spitting blood.

A swordsman at the Early Divine Ability Stage, relying on the sharpness of his weapon, launched a surprise attack from behind. When the tip of his sword pierced Zhu Baichuan's back, it actually made a metallic sound!

Zhu Baichuan slapped him with his backhand, sending him flying. The latter rolled several times on the ground before struggling to his feet, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Zhu Baichuan.

This man is extremely skilled in martial arts; even without Gang Qi, my sword couldn't penetrate him, let alone with protective Gang Qi. How could I possibly win?!

The next moment, a sword light flashed across the sky, forcing Zhu Baichuan to gather his Gang Qi to protect himself.

"Everyone, your main task is to restrain and wear down Zhu Baichuan's Gang Qi; I'll deal with him."

Feng Yanleng voice, and everyone immediately scattered in all directions. She then faced Zhu Baichuan head-on, and her Mistwater Sword easily pierced through Zhu Baichuan's protective Gang Qi. Its sharpness forced the latter to dodge.

"A divine weapon?!"

There was a deep sense of apprehension in Zhu Baichuan's eyes.

No wonder this woman was able to kill Lu Hong, Half-Step External Scenery, with just Form Refinement Perfection.

He took a deep breath, his whole body turning red, and used a secret technique to forcefully unleash the external martial arts skill that had just been broken by Yuyang.

Horizontal training and Gang Qi should be able to block the divine weapon in the opponent's hand!

In an instant, the hall erupted into chaos.

Although Zhu Baichuan was at a disadvantage, he managed to hold out against the Feng Yanleng until Yuyang was suppressed, thanks to his external martial arts skills.

Hua Nongying had already forged her Inner Heaven and Earth and mastered the art of attacking with her Primordial Spirit. Even if Yuyang had the intention to delay, he was still quickly suppressed by her.

At this moment, Hua Nongying even had time to support Zhu Baichuan.

The former's invisible and intangible Primordial Spirit attack quickly cleared out the other martial artists around him, allowing Zhu Baichuan to concentrate on dealing with Feng Yanleng.

Outside the battlefield.

"OP, should we make a move?"

Behind Shen Yulou, several guards asked in deep voices.

Shen Yulou's eyes were deep and thoughtful.

From his personal perspective, he really wanted to take down Zhu Baichuan, since it was one of his elders who had gone to great lengths to win over Jiang Ying ten years ago.

He came specifically to congratulate Zhu Baichuan, also hoping to test Zhu Baichuan's connections and see if he could get in touch with Jiang Ying, the great hero.

But who would have thought----

Shen Yulou took a deep breath, but still shook his head and rejected the suggestion to take action.

The West Wind Merchant Association operates openly, maintains good relations with all sides, and never participates in any power struggles. His personal preferences cannot influence the Chamber's stance.

"Young Hero Yu, aren't you going to go?"

The Sword Intent that had forced everyone to retreat had disappeared. Luo Zichuan returned to his seat and cautiously examined Yu Tunzhou.

Since Ji Yanleng is Feng Yanleng, then Yu Tunzhou should also be Yu Tunzhou, right?

"It seems that Heroine Feng and her group are at a disadvantage. The situation is not good. Hua Nongying is the sixth of the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert. If they win, they probably won't let any of us here go."

Luo Zichuan tried to reason with him and persuade Yu Tunzhou to take action.

"I'm waiting for the right moment to make my move."

Yu Tunzhou said seriously, inwardly clicking his tongue in disappointment. He hadn't been able to find a suitable entry point in this battle.

Although Feng Yanleng had gathered reinforcements, she didn't expect that Zhu Baichuan also had help, and that the latter was even stronger.

He had never witnessed Jin Xiongfei's strength, but the strength Zhu Baichuan was currently displaying was enough to prove the true power of Late Divine Ability Stage martial artist.

Her protective Gang Qi alone was incredibly powerful; among the warriors standing shoulder to shoulder with Heroine Feng, only a few could break through it by even an inch with the sharpness of their weapons.

This Gang Qi is not merely for self-defense; it possesses immense power, capable of injuring any martial artist who comes near it.

If it weren't for the immense pressure from Feng Yanleng, the other martial artists who were trying to hold them back would have been taken down by Zhu Baichuan alone long ago.

Yu Tunzhou pondered to himself that the Swallow the Sun and Refine the Moon technique was still accumulating power. With his current strength, breaking through the opponent's protective Gang Qi would be an extremely troublesome task, not to mention that there was also a layer of external strength beneath the Gang Qi.

When facing such a powerful opponent, one cannot fight head-on. One must either use Divine Ability abilities to suppress them or maneuver and wait for an opportunity.

Unfortunately, if he had opened all his acupoints and mastered the unity of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, he might have been able to confront his opponent head-on and find a way to break through his opponent's Gang Qi cultivation. But right now—

Yu Tunzhou's gaze shifted to another ghostly figure.

In Hua Nongying's hands, the one who came with Feng Yanleng was completely put on the defensive.

Neither of them is easy to deal with, but if he had to choose one, he would choose Hua Nongying over Zhu Baichuan.

etc----

Not entirely.

Yu Tunzhou gently stroked the ring on his right finger with his left hand, his eyes sparkling.

He hadn't used it since he got it.

Zhu Baichuan just mentioned a divine weapon; if I'm not mistaken, it should refer to the sword in Feng Yanleng's hand.

Divine weapons are often weapons of the External Scenery realm, containing Inner Heaven and Earth, possessing a rudimentary self-awareness, and capable of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

Since the divine weapon could break through Zhu Baichuan's Gang Qi, there's no reason why his divine artifact couldn't.

Even though this divine object is now concealing its true nature, it is still far superior to ordinary objects!

And recalling that when Yuyang first appeared, he struck Zhu Baichuan on the head with a palm, breaking his external martial arts training—

The key to Zhu Baichuan's external martial arts lies right above his head!

Yu Tunzhou already had a plan in mind.

Fortunately, few people present recognized him. As long as he didn't reveal his identity, Zhu Baichuan wouldn't be able to guard against a mere Form Refinement martial artist like him.

It's been a while since I've launched a sneak attack; I wonder if my skills have gotten rusty.

In the arena, the duel between Feng Yanleng and Zhu Baichuan had reached a fever pitch, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that Feng Yanleng was starting to lose ground.

The biggest problem lies with Yuyang.

Yuyang suddenly roared, "Heroine Feng, Hua Nongying is here today. This battle is already lost. You retreat first, I'll cover your retreat!"

Feng Yanleng Leng's longsword sliced through Zhu Baichuan's Earth-Subsiding Palm Divine Ability, his face slightly pale, but his eyes remained sharp.

Her aura gradually became more ethereal, and she began to prepare a killing move. Although she was in a very weak state, the tragic state of Senior Jiang Ying was still vivid in her mind, and she would never let the person in front of her go!

The crowd outside the arena were determined to kill the traitors, but they were powerless to reverse the situation.

Luo Zichuan watched anxiously from the side.

The Heroine Feng was clearly injured; her movements were unnatural, and if this continued, she would surely be in trouble!

The only solution now is to request action.

Hey, where's Young Hero Yu?

Luo Zichuan looked bewildered.

How could Young Hero Yu have vanished in the blink of an eye?

Did he run away?

At that moment, Yu Tunzhou quietly circled around behind Zhu Baichuan, exchanging only a glance with Feng Yanleng.

However, the latter instantly understood, his lofty aura instantly receding, abandoning his killing move, and immediately intensifying his attack, his sword light pouring down like a torrential rain, leaving Zhu Baichuan no time to spare.

Yu Tunzhou secretly praised it, then unleashed the black and white Qi of Dao and Virtue, and the ring in his hand instantly enlarged, transforming into the original form of the Vajra Bracelet.

He gripped the Vajra Bracelet in his right hand and struck Zhu Baichuan hard on the back of the head!

Zhu Baichuan immediately sensed Yu Tunzhou's approach and still had the strength to maneuver.

But Feng Yanleng's offensive suddenly intensified, showing signs of exhaustion. If they could just hold off this wave, victory would be within reach!

--

Upon realizing that the person behind him was so young, not highly skilled, and wielding not some divine weapon but rather some scrap metal he'd found somewhere—

Zhu Baichuan decisively chose to use his internal energy to withstand the Gang Qi head-on, focusing all his attention on the front and doing his best to resist Feng Yanleng's desperate counterattack.

A mere Form Refinement martial artist thinks he can break through my protective Gang Qi? Does he think he's Deng Canglan?

Yu Tunzhou's smash was a display of his full power, as if he feared being hindered by the Gang Qi. In the final moment, he even entered an incomplete Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person.

But he soon realized his worries were unnecessary.

That three-foot-thick protective Gang Qi was utterly useless in front of the Vajra Bracelet.

Wherever the Vajra Bracelet passed, the Gang Qi parted to both sides like ripples on water, encountering no resistance whatsoever, and crashed straight down!

Zhu Baichuan immediately sensed something was wrong, his expression changing drastically. Was this the Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person?!

Then, to his horror, he discovered that his proud Thick Earth Gang Qi was no match for the opponent's strength, which was less than tofu!

And all of this happened in an instant.

Even though Zhu Baichuan finally realized it, it was too late to change anything.

The next moment.

The Vajra Bracelet struck him squarely on the back of the head.

"Thump"

An indescribable loud bang, like the tolling of a bell, was heard very clearly by Feng Yanleng, who was nearby, as the sound of Zhu Baichuan's skull cracking was heard with perfect clarity.

Zhu Baichuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, the world spinning around him, and a ringing in his ears. His martial arts skills crumbled on the spot!

His legs buckled, and he stumbled forward two steps before collapsing to his knees. Not only was his external martial arts skill failing him, but even his protective Gang Qi was becoming unusable.

Feng Yanleng did not miss this golden opportunity.

Victory or defeat hinges on this one move!

The Mistwater Sword transformed into a streak of light, piercing the throat with a single strike!

Then, the longsword was twisted once, pulled out suddenly, and pierced Zhu Baichuan's heart again. The internal force exploded, crushing his heart and cutting off his Qi and Blood supply, preventing him from having any chance to fight back.

Zhu Baichuan froze. He turned his head with difficulty, but the last thing he saw was not Feng Yanleng, who had killed him, but the young man behind him.

His eyes were filled with incomprehension.

The phrase "Yu Tunzhou" offers no explanation whatsoever.

Don't understand?

It's understandable if you don't understand; Brother Monkey didn't understand it back then!

Zhu Baichuan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but only made a muffled "clucking" sound, like a leaky bellows.

At this moment, Feng Yanleng had the strength left. He grabbed Zhu Baichuan's head with one hand and beheaded him with a single sword stroke!

Zhu Baichuan's remaining body swayed for a moment, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Only the severed head remained, its eyes still fixed on Yu Tunzhou, its death unending.

Yu Tunzhou immediately brought the Vajra Bracelet back to his fingertips.

A resounding victory in the first battle!

He thought to himself, "This thing is indeed much more powerful when used for a sneak attack!"

Not far away, upon noticing Zhu Baichuan's death, Hua Nongying frowned, inwardly cursing him as a piece of trash who had been killed by two Form Refinement.

Her gaze quickly settled on Yu Tunzhou, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

That was indeed a feeling of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, but it wasn't complete, similar to the realm she had currently mastered.

This person is none other than Yu Tunzhou, the one who killed Jin Xiongfei with a single finger!

She couldn't help but lick her red lips. One Feng Yanleng, the other Yu Tunzhou —both were the biggest fish of the biggest fish!

Unfortunately, I can't eat anything today.

Hua Nongying's gaze involuntarily fell on Yu Tunzhou's fingers, a mixture of fear and greed.

This object could break through Zhu Baichuan's protective Gang Qi without any hindrance, so it could certainly break through hers as well; it must be an unknown divine weapon!

Furthermore, this Yu Tunzhou also possessed an extremely dangerous Dharma Aspect technique—

The thought arises.

Hua Nongying gave Yu Tunzhou a deep look, memorized his face, and then vanished from the hall in a flash.

A great battle has come to an end.

A group of martial artists peered into the hall from outside, only to find it in complete disarray.

Luo Zichuan's face flushed with excitement. So this was the opportune moment that Young Hero Yu had mentioned!

Indeed, when it does not move, it is still; but when it does, it is earth-shattering!

With a single move, she set the tone for the battle, causing Zhu Baichuan, who had mastered the Horizontal Strike Technique and possessed the Thick Earth Gang Qi that even Half-Step External Scenery cultivator couldn't defeat, to fall to the sword of the Heroine Feng!

Yu Tunzhou his hands in greeting, about to speak.

You are like Yu Tunzhou.

Feng Yanleng called out his name directly.

After the battle, her face was frighteningly pale, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing two small dimples, which was somewhat inconsistent with the demeanor of a "heroine".

However, the severed head she carried still gave her a very chivalrous air.

We've already met.

Yu Tunzhou understood; the other person was probably referring to the time when he first entered the Heavenly Court Fragment, when the two of them did indeed exchange a glance from afar.

"Today's timing isn't right. I'll treat you to drinks next time we meet," Feng Yanleng suddenly said seriously. "However, when you drink—"

Could you please stop laughing?

Yu Tunzhou looks bewildered.

What's the meaning?

The girl chuckled, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll finish a glass of wine with a smile, and then the next second you'll try to kill me."

Yu Tunzhou gradually realized what was happening, and his lips twitched.

Laughing through a cup of wine, killing in the Mortal World ----

That joke was a bit lame.

The renowned Heroine Feng, is she fond of telling corny jokes?
