The old man and another martial artist of the eighth level of the Yang Wheel stepped back in unison, both staring incredulously at Chu Nan, unable to believe he had slain a martial artist of the seventh level of the Yang Wheel with just one strike.

The old man, upon witnessing this scene, gradually shed his disdainful expression and adopted a somber demeanor.

To be able to slay a martial artist of the seventh level of the Yang Wheel at sixteen, if allowed to grow, the future of the Zhang family would be very dangerous.

"Zhang Mingyi, attack with full force!" the old man commanded once more.

The martial artist known as Zhang Mingyi declared, "Elder, rest assured, he must die today!"

Zhang Mingyi leaped forward, fists gathering spiritual power, like a ferocious tiger rushing to pounce on Chu Nan.

"Good timing!" Murderous intent flashed in Chu Nan's eyes as he unleashed a punch.

He confronted Zhang Mingyi with his Thunderous Dominating Fist.

Bam!

A dull sound echoed, Chu Nan's body slightly retreated, feeling some numbness in his arm.

Yet Zhang Mingyi laughed and said, "Chu Nan, unable to withstand even a single punch, I see you are just this much."

"Prepare to die!"

Upon hearing the taunt, Chu Nan's face remained emotionless. He had just exerted only a fraction of his strength, yet the power of the Fire Qilin Dragon was still unexerted.

At that moment, Zhang Mingyi launched another ferocious offensive, his large hands like talons aiming to directly crush Chu Nan's head.

"Petty tricks, let me show you my strength!"

Chu Nan advanced instead of retreating, the Blood Pattern Sword igniting into raging flames, as scorching as those of the Fire Qilin Dragon.

Whoosh~

With the sound of wind, the Blood Pattern Sword slashed toward Zhang Mingyi's head, releasing a clear, thunderous sound.

Bang!

The spiritual power gathered in Zhang Mingyi's palms instantly dissipated, the Sword Qi carving a massive wound on the ground.

His eyes widened, feeling the crisis emanating from Chu Nan, unbelievably exclaiming, "What a terrifying sword!"

From afar, the observing old man also furrowed his brow slightly, noting that Chu Nan had only been at the Cyan Profound Mansion for less than half a year and had already grown to battle effectively at the eighth level of the Yang Wheel.

This level of strength, even if built up with elixirs, probably wouldn't reach this point.

Zhang Mingyi surveyed the ravine on the ground, coldly snorted, "Chu Nan, your prowess is indeed astounding, having advanced to such a level in such a short time; within the Qin Kingdom, one couldn't find ten like you."

"But even if you're a genius, absolute strength renders talent useless; for myself and for the Zhang family, Chu Nan, you must die today!"

With a step forward, a formidable aura burst forth from Zhang Mingyi, the ground underneath cracking like a spider web.

Behind him appeared four Martial Wheels, various powers relentlessly surged around Zhang Mingyi.

"This aura, not bad," Chu Nan murmured, slightly grave, "Since that's the case, I should also go all out."

Boom!

Nine Martial Wheels erupted with dazzling brilliance, akin to a rainbow, enveloping everything in darkness under their illumination.

And there's more, Desolate Profound Transformation activated, dark red scales like armor cloaked Chu Nan entirely.

Golden light erupted from his eyes as if he were the sovereign of myriad beasts.

The terrifying aura he emitted even made the old martial artist of the ninth level of the Yang Wheel show a grave expression.

"This... this is the Demon Blood Mutation Technique; impossible!" The old man sensed a fear-inducing crisis from Chu Nan's body, surpassing his capacity for astonishment.

More so Zhang Mingyi, who confidently unleashed all his cultivation thinking to crush Chu Nan.

Yet, Chu Nan used a more potent secret technique; before even engaging, fear started to rise in Zhang Mingyi's heart.

Nine Martial Wheels, the aura of multiple Martial Intents, and a mysterious secret technique resembling the Demon Blood Mutation Technique.

The overwhelming presence from Chu Nan was akin to an Emperor.

"Putting on airs!" Zhang Mingyi was terrified inwardly, yet unwilling to show his fear, he cursed under his breath and charged at Chu Nan again.

Hands sealing, Zhang Mingyi struck a palm from afar, the Great Hand Seal descending from the sky, with an aura terrifying enough to obliterate any martial artist below the eighth level of the Yang Wheel.

Chu Nan's eyes gleamed gold, and a smirk of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Zhang Mingyi, I'll make you the first offering to my Celestial Fire Torrent."

Rumble!

Chu Nan's aura surged rapidly, as the Great Hand Seal was about to descend, he suddenly swung his hand with force.

Instantly, a sea of fire erupted!

Crimson flames blocked out the sky, transforming into vast waves sweeping across all directions.

Where the flames touched, all turned to charcoal, and the fiery torrent roared like raging fire dragons, issuing fatal roars.

The old man, witnessing this, showed a terrified expression; he sensed a life-and-death crisis from the flames and immediately advised, "Zhang Mingyi, retreat quickly!"

But it was too late, Zhang Mingyi was just about to retreat when the fiery ocean had already surged.

Eventually, the fire swallowed Zhang Mingyi, and his figure slowly vanished within the flames.

A few breaths later, the sea of fire ceased, within a hundred meters radius all had turned to scorched earth, and Zhang Mingyi had long been incinerated by the flames, leaving only charred bones.

Chu Nan adorned in dark red scale armor like a fiend amid the fire.

"How can he be so strong!" The old man widened his eyes, to kill Zhang Mingyi of the eighth level of the Yang Wheel in a single strike, Chu Nan's rate of growth struck terror into his heart.

"Boy, no matter how strong you are, today you must die!"

But swiftly, the terror in the old man's eyes transformed into intense killing intent, directing a fatal assault toward Chu Nan.

A true martial artist of the ninth level of the Yang Wheel, his approach caused the ground to quake, and he brandished a giant hammer that bore down on Chu Nan like heavenly wrath.

Before the hammer could strike, the ground already shattered, and surrounding trees constantly toppled.

Seeing the giant hammer tear through the air, Chu Nan faced it head-on, delivering an all-out sword strike.

Clang!

The clash between sword and hammer unleashed a shockwave sweeping several hundred meters, alarming numerous birds and beasts.

Two Spirit Martial weapons contested midair, neither overpowering the other for a moment.

"Only sixth level of the Yang Wheel, yet the force matches my ninth level?" The old man was incredulous, for his Big Hammer was terrifying in both attack and suppression.

Yet now Chu Nan had blocked it with a sword.

Sword and hammer separated, then the old man unleashed another sweeping strike targeting Chu Nan's waist.

If this hit landed, Chu Nan's waist might be broken.

Chu Nan's face remained utterly relaxed, harnessing all his power to parry with the sword.

Bam!

The hammer struck, forcing Chu Nan's body to retreat a few steps, though without sustaining mortal damage.

"How can this be?" The old man widened his eyes, then Chu Nan announced, "Now, it's my turn to strike!"

"Celestial Fire Torrent!"

The fire erupted again; because this time it was combat at close quarters, the old man had no opportunity to dodge, instantly being engulfed by the flames.

The fire attribute of the Ancestral Bloodline was stronger than the thunder attribute, and this move was far superior to the Heaven-Shocking Thunder Spear.

With this technique, not fear-taking even the ninth level of the Yang Wheel, prompted by the flames, Chu Nan confronted it fearlessly.

Nonetheless, the old man, indeed of the ninth level, much more robust than Zhang Mingyi by far, emerged from the blaze after a few breaths.

Blackened all over, his aura fluctuated fiercely, appearing incredibly haggard.

The old man turned, glaring fiercely at Chu Nan, pronouncing, "Chu Nan, I'll remember this; next time we meet, I will kill you!"

Having said this, he intended to flee.

Chu Nan watched coldly, sneering, "You want to escape? Did I permit you to leave!"
