Whether a stranger cultivator is powerful can be judged by a strong peer with just one move.
Sometimes, not even a single move is needed.
As soon as Hong Yuqiao made a move, Zhou Yan immediately knew that this person was exceptionally strong. Among the Immortal Techniques, there was a fusion of rules and path, presenting a new kind of strength.
This strength was unstoppable, like breaking through decayed wood. As it charged towards him, Zhou Yan used Emperor Blood to condense his Invincible Divine Body, displaying the White Tiger Battle Body and Emperor Qi Sword Body to strongly block it.
Zhou Yan waved his hands, imprinting divine brilliance. The attack and kill domain manifested, converging within the Emperor Sword Rule Domain, revealing an invincible supreme dao.
At the same time, Zhou Yan also manifested the will of Yin Yang Chaos, unleashing a chaotic domain which combined with the Emperor Qi Sword Body.
Despite this, Zhou Yan was still impacted by something akin to a planet, giving rise to a terrifying feeling of being suppressed.
In fact, when the two major attacks collided, it was a riot that tore heaven and earth apart.
This piece of heaven and earth was exceptionally powerful, yet the intense shock force still caused the ground to tremble, as though the entire battleship was being shaken.
A burst of chaotic heavenly tribulation breath erupted, with chaotic air currents and cold chill, carrying an unknown decaying breath that began to circulate all around, like smoke being dispersed, escaping into the air.
In that strike, Hong Yuqiao unleashed a shocking attack and kill technique, while Zhou Yan advanced step by step, gradually settling down, with his state of mind becoming stable.
This strike from Hong Yuqiao caused Zhou Yan a huge shock, cracking his divine body, and blood had already oozed from its surface.
However, after the previous battle, Zhou Yan had become even more powerful. With his blood and qi surging, his battle intent was overwhelming, and having moved past the shock of Hong Yuqiao's identity and formidable combat power, Zhou Yan once again entered a state of no-thought, no-mind.
No matter who it was, it was merely a clone in this place, perhaps just a decayed puppet.
Zhou Yan stopped thinking, gradually enhancing his combat power, evolving it at high speed, gradually reaching up to the twelfth-layer state of his previous limit.
The White Tiger Battle Body was incredibly powerful, the physical body invincible. It complemented the Invincible Divine Body of the Emperor Qi Sword Body, and under the awe-inspiring power of Emperor Blood, Zhou Yan felt an indescribable strength.
With such power, Zhou Yan manifested the Emperor Sword Rule Attack and Kill Skill, and began battling Hong Yuqiao.
Apart from being at a disadvantage at the start, Zhou Yan quickly turned the situation around, gradually gaining the upper hand.
But just as Zhou Yan gained the upper hand, overpowering Hong Yuqiao, Hong Yuqiao retreated, suddenly spewing out a bright red lotus from her mouth.
As the lotus flew out, it was tiny, like a red dot, but as it spun, it quickly grew larger.
When the lotus flew into the void, it reached a size of one meter!
As it spun, it emanated a suffocating power.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan instinctively took out the jade-like Flying Sword he obtained in this space.
At the moment Zhou Yan took out the Flying Sword, the blood-colored lotus almost instantly ignited with black flames, which were so dark that they dimmed the whole world. When these flames emerged, beams of terrifying light burst into heaven and earth.
A black light locked onto Zhou Yan, and within a fraction of a breath, it suddenly released a Silent Annihilation Purple Flame.
Zhou Yan was familiar with this Silent Annihilation Purple Flame, but its methods were far superior to Zhou Yan's use of the Silent Annihilation Purple Flame, much more powerful and unfathomable.
Zhou Yan spat out a mouthful of essence blood onto the jade-like Flying Sword, directly sacrificing this sword to attack the Silent Annihilation Purple Flame.
Simultaneously, Zhou Yan also sacrificed the Xuanyuan Sword, instantly activating its immortal ancient array mirror reflection power.
The jade-like Flying Sword plunged into the black flames, suddenly severing its connection with Zhou Yan, leaving him unable to sense it.
And when the ultimate move descended upon Zhou Yan, the mirror reflection effect of the Xuanyuan Sword immediately manifested, blocking the targeted attack of the Purple Flame.
"Hmph!"
Hong Yuqiao snorted coldly, retracting the lotus, and once again deploying a hand-pushing-sun attack and kill technique.
Zhou Yan retrieved the Xuanyuan Sword, pulled out the Soul Suppressing Bow, and used a deadly arrow to attack and kill Hong Yuqiao.
Meanwhile, the jade-like Flying Sword that had entered the lotus earlier suddenly returned, appearing crystal clear, as if it had been nourished for a long time. Its aura became significantly richer and more profound.
At this moment, Zhou Yan was surprised to find that Hong Yuqiao's attacks seemed to lack follow-through power, initially strong but now somewhat hollow and weak.
Zhou Yan put away his bow, and with a casual punch, smashed the hand-pushed sun technique. At the same time, Zhou Yan expanded his attack and kill domain, suppressing Hong Yuqiao in one fell swoop, and in a few moves, he had already smashed into her divine body, causing it to ultimately collapse under the strain, suddenly crumbling.
"Despicable!"
"Useless waste!"
Hong Yuqiao scolded coldly, and finally, her divine body suddenly broke apart, turning into a cloud of dust.
A statue fell from her shattered divine body. Unlike previous statues, it had completely lost any energy aura, becoming like decayed wood.
The statue fell, and finally with a 'poof', transformed into a stream of decaying chaotic air.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment. This battle was somewhat risky, but it ended without a real fight starting.
Among them, it was obvious that the Jade-like Flying Sword absorbed the energy of the statue's body.
Zhou Yan had a thoughtful expression in his heart. He immediately carved again, once more creating a statue of Hong Yuqiao, and using the same method, made a clone of Hong Yuqiao.
As soon as this statue clone appeared, she directly focused her gaze, staring at Zhou Yan with hatred: "It's you again, despicable one. This time, I will kill you!"
As she spoke, she immediately summoned a lotus, presenting a destructive Immortal Path killing move.
Zhou Yan felt a chill in his heart and immediately deployed a deadly technique, attacking first to take the initiative.
This time, Zhou Yan did not use the Jade-like Flying Sword but fought desperately with Hong Yuqiao.
This battle lasted longer than the time it took Zhou Yan to defeat himself, taking nearly thirty days!
Finally, Zhou Yan's Divine Body dried up, blood splattered across the sky, his whole body covered in endless Tao wounds, extremely miserable, yet he managed to slay Hong Yuqiao.
The price paid, however, was that the Emperor Blood suffered devastating damage.
After this battle, Zhou Yan lay on the ground, completely on the verge of death.
This was a brutal battle, a bloody and fierce fight.
During the battle, Zhou Yan fully experienced the fickle and strange nature of Immortal techniques, those Immortal techniques, and magic treasures don't need to lock on; once they strike, they are sure to hit.
After suffering several losses, when encountering these Immortal techniques, Zhou Yan often didn't evade but used offense for defense, exchanging injury for injury.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan was naturally in a miserable state, but Hong Yuqiao also did not have a good time.
In the end, Hong Yuqiao was blasted apart, the statue shattered, dust dissipated, shaking Heaven and Earth.
Zhou Yan lay on the ground, unable to move, the chip inside him emitting a warm glow, occasionally repairing the Divine Body, but the destruction of the Divine Body exceeded the repair speed!
This battle, therefore, shows how terrible the price was paid!
Zhou Yan struggled to repeatedly perform the Xingyi Rebirth technique, and the Jade-like Flying Sword occasionally released a cool energy, which suppressed the destruction speed of the Divine Body, allowing the Divine Body and Divine Soul to begin restorative recovery.
This time, it took as long as over twenty days for Zhou Yan to fully recover.
But after recovering, Zhou Yan also felt a new kind of progress; the transformation of his bloodline reached the degree of Sixty-Six Transformations.
Afterwards, with his recovery reaching peak status, Zhou Yan engraved Hong Yuqiao's statue once more, because this first person was truly an excellent combat opponent.
The newly sculpted Hong Yuqiao appeared again after a series of methods.
Her gaze was calm and indifferent but displayed terrifying combat power.
"Last time I died at your hands, but I benefited greatly. This time, I will surely kill you! Revenge for that life I lost!"
Hong Yuqiao said, unleashing a peerless Immortal Path attack that couldn't be dodged, couldn't be escaped, and couldn't be reflected.
This is a forced attack, just like the strike of the Divine Whip, unavoidable.
As the battle began, Hong Yuqiao started with lethal tactics, first trying to injure Zhou Yan to suppress him; these methods, extremely terrifying.
Zhou Yan inhaled sharply; he never expected that as he became stronger, this statue also became stronger!
Zhou Yan's face turned somewhat pale; he deeply understood Hong Yuqiao's power, but he was unafraid, launching his own sky-shaking attacks.
This was yet another brutal struggle, and Zhou Yan was suppressed once more.
This battle only lasted more than ten days, but Zhou Yan fought until he went mad. Before this, apart from the Jade-like Flying Sword, Zhou Yan used all his methods, even the Turtle Shell Protection of Luo Book River Map, but none succeeded in defeating Hong Yuqiao.
At the extreme limit, sensing the moment of destruction, Zhou Yan, in desperation, used the Flying Sword, to suppress and kill Hong Yuqiao, extracting the power of the statue.
The Flying Sword, crystal-clear like jade, emitted a warm energy, repairing Zhou Yan's injuries.
Zhou Yan lay on the ground, his whole body smashed, Divine Soul fractured beyond bearing, barely alive.
This was a hard-fought battle.
The first battle, unexpectedly destructed.
The second battle, he won with difficulty.
But the third battle, Zhou Yan lost, exhausting everything, still he lost.
The Jade-like Flying Sword could evidently suppress and even destroy the mummies and statues here, so it couldn't be counted as part of his combat ability.
And if it weren't for the unique divinity recovery energy emanating from the Jade-like Flying Sword, even if he won the second battle, Zhou Yan would have eventually died due to his severe injuries.
