Chapter 332: Martial Physique! Hidden Will! Sudden Upheaval!

Murong Longcheng swallowed a healing pill, and hid in a narrow alley, his gaze sharp and alert. He had never encountered such a troublesome opponent!

Suddenly, on the rooftop, Murong Longcheng noticed Li Yanchu standing amidst the drizzling rain, with Xu Ruoyun beside him, smiling and staring directly at him.

“Damn it!” Murong Longcheng glared furiously.

Earlier, Xu Ruoyun had been fleeing under his pursuit, and now, in the blink of an eye, she had aligned with this young Daoist, turning the tables and chasing him instead!

“Daoist Master Li, we’ve got no quarrel. How about we let bygones be bygones?!”

Murong Longcheng recalled hearing Chen Tianyuan call this young Daoist “Daoist Master Li” while he was recovering in the ruins.

“Cut the crap!” Li Yanchu immediately unleashed the Heaven-Illuminating Seal, and divine flames surged across the sky. The sun blazed and scorched heaven itself!

Murong Longcheng’s expression changed sharply.

Chen Tianyuan could be spared, but when it comes to me, there’s no room for negotiation!?

He concentrated his blood and qi and threw a punch!

Bang!

A sonic boom erupted, and a shield formed from the force of his qi appeared simultaneously. The divine flames of the Heaven-Illuminating Seal were overwhelming! It was the first of the five legendary artifacts of Luo Xuan!

Murong Longcheng’s weakened qi and blood only managed to hold it off for a moment, and the divine flames threatened to consume him entirely!

Then, he moved and retreated ten zhang.

Boom

!

Li Yanchu appeared directly three chi in front of Murong Longcheng, and a single punch was unleashed. Murong Longcheng had no time to dodge and was struck violently by that blow.

The warrior’s spirit was relentless and unstoppable. If there was even a hint of hesitation, the initiative was lost.

Murong Longcheng’s whole body was flung backward like a kite cut from its string. But before he could fully fly away, Li Yanchu grabbed his legs and pulled him back!

Boom!

Another punch slammed into Murong Longcheng. Each blow landed solidly, with flesh meeting fist, Murong Longcheng’s face turned pale, and his internal qi was in chaos after he was assaulted by Li Yanchu’s overwhelming force.

He threw both fists at once. A dazzling golden dragon coiled around him with immense momentum.

Boom

! The ground cracked bit by bit! Murong Longcheng panted heavily. If it weren’t for the golden dragon protecting him, he would have long been crushed under Li Yanchu’s relentless assault.

He tried to turn and flee, but suddenly, a green vine as tough as iron shot up from beneath his feet and ensnared both of his legs. Murong Longcheng’s blood surged and trembled, nearly snapping his limbs.

But in that instant, Li Yanchu was already upon him again, and a punch slammed into his lower abdomen!

Bang!

Murong Longcheng was sent flying backward once more. The golden dragon coiled and spiraled around him, though now its brilliance had dimmed considerably. Even his protective golden dragon couldn’t withstand such a crushing blow to his abdomen.

Blood trickled from his mouth, and his aura was in ruins, so much so that he was unable to continue fighting!

A deep pit appeared behind him, and this time Murong Longcheng lay collapsed amid the ruins.

Immediately, Li Yanchu surged forward, shaking the earth and rattling the mountains! He intended to finish Murong Longcheng once and for all! This guy’s physique was far too resilient!

Roar

! The golden dragon charged straight at Li Yanchu.

Boom

!

Li Yanchu’s momentum was briefly halted, and he pressed his shoulders down. His body arched like a massive crescent-shaped bow, and he charged forward with sheer physical force. He then unleashed the Divine Astral Hands and Iron Mountain Strike!

Bang

!

The golden dragon’s massive head was knocked aside. Li Yanchu’s eyes were icy cold and he pressed the dragon down and delivered a crushing punch.

Then, the qi exploded. The dragon crashed to the ground, its scales shattered, and blood poured everywhere!

“Trying to train a dragon?” Li Yanchu said coldly, his tone devoid of emotion.

Clang

!

The Jiaoslayer was drawn, and it sliced straight through the dragon’s head. Murong Longcheng was struck as if by lightning, and blood poured faster from his mouth and abdomen.

At this time, Li Yanchu’s instincts sharpened. He lifted his gaze slightly, looking toward the barely conscious Murong Longcheng.

Suddenly, Murong Longcheng slowly rose to his feet, his cold and merciless eyes glowing pale gold.

A powerful aura erupted from his body, and the heavens seemed to darken. A rippling shockwave spread outward like water, and houses along its path collapsed instantly. Everyone within the Blissful Land felt the immense pressure!

A Yang Spirit powerhouse!?

Meanwhile, Danyangzi, who was also hidden within the ancient city, narrowed his eyes sharply. Why would there be a Yang Spirit powerhouse inside the Jade Altar!? The aura was powerful and unfamiliar, carrying a wild, primal energy!

Everyone felt their expressions change.

“Entering the Dao through martial might?” Murong Longcheng’s voice grew cold, slightly delayed in reaction. It was obvious that a powerful force was controlling his body!

“So when you can’t win, you play dirty, huh?” Li Yanchu let out a cold laugh.

This wasn’t a summoning technique; it seemed more like the hidden will residing within Murong Longcheng’s body!

Murong Longcheng tilted his head slightly, as if he couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind Li Yanchu’s words.

“You’re young and reckless.” He shook his head faintly, then threw a punch!

Boom

!

The rain in the heavens condensed into a massive, snarling dragon, and it appeared directly before Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu activated his talismanic armor, and his blood and qi surged explosively, and behind him rose a towering, armored figure. Its movements mirrored his perfectly!

He swung his blade down, and the dragon formed from the rain was instantly shattered!

Murong Longcheng seemed slightly surprised, and his pale-gold eyes fixated on the simple, rustic armor on Li Yanchu.

“Talismanic armor? So he’s the disciple of that old Daoist... no wonder his attacks are so overwhelming!” Murong Longcheng shook his head faintly.

Within Li Yanchu, his blood and qi surged wildly. Although that one strike had destroyed the dragon, he still felt the immense, unmatched power that had emerged. This sudden opponent had to be a Yang Spirit of the third realm!

Judging by the situation, he seemed to recognize the master who had forged the talismanic armor... and considered Li Yanchu his successor.

Li Yanchu’s mind jolted. What kind of old monster was hidden inside Murong Longcheng’s body?

Outside, the rain in the heavens continued to fall relentlessly.

Relentlessly, it purified the bodies of the cultivators who entered the Jade Altar’s Blissful Land, greatly benefiting their practice.

Rumble!

The entire Jade Altar trembled, the earth shook and the mountains quaked. Even the air seemed to warp!

Murong Longcheng raised his head slightly, gazing at the massive stone carving of a Daoist figure.

“Ox nose!”

The rain fell harder and harder, yet the spiritual energy within it had completely vanished.

***

Beneath the jade green archway in Wei City, the light barrier twisted and flickered incessantly, beginning to emit a radiant glow.

The old Celestial Master slightly opened his eyes.

“Hm... it’s been less than two days since it opened, why is it about to close already?”

He froze. And it wasn’t just the old Celestial Master; numerous cultivators who had been closely observing the Jade Altar’s Blissful Land also gasped in surprise.

No matter who spread the news about the Jade Altar, these cultivators understood the secrets within: when the Jade Altar’s Blissful Land opened, it usually lasted at least ten days to half a month, sometimes even three to five months. Less than two days, what could that mean? What kind of opportunities could one find in a secret realm’s Blissful Land? What insights could be gained?

The old Celestial Master stood with his hands clasped behind his back, staring at the jade green archway. Once the Jade Altar’s Blissful Land closed, the cultivators inside would be expelled and gather here. Yet now, the Archway itself was showing such abnormal fluctuations. This meant that someone had already seized the great opportunity within the Jade Altar’s Blissful Land!

“Who exactly has obtained the immortal’s legacy? Is it Danyangzi... or Ye Hongyun?!”

The old Celestial Master narrowed his eyes.
