The ruins of Linhai City.
Ye Xing, his face masked, had just jumped out of the helicopter.
When he saw a streak of sword aura slashing toward him.
His gaze hardened.
He hastily activated his Indestructible Golden Body to block the sword aura.
Then, he saw Zhao Bing holding a sword, appearing in his line of sight.
Beneath the mask, the corners of Ye Xing's mouth curled up into a smile.
"So it's you, Senior Brother!"
"It really has been a long time!"
The helicopter pilot also jumped down.
He unleashed his martial arts domain, staring at Zhao Bing who was approaching step by step.
On the other side.
The four Martial Saints of the Gu clan were just about to make a move to capture Zhao Bing, this guy who had suddenly popped out.
When they saw two streams of tyrannical vitality soaring into the sky.
"Martial Saints!"
At this time, the masked Gu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It seems those hiding Martial Saints can no longer sit still."
Sensing that the other party was coming straight for the four of them.
The few of them no longer bothered to hide.
The formidable vitality of Martial Saints instantly boiled as they circulated their cultivation techniques.
Their overflowing vitality, like the morning sun, soared into the sky.
"Slash!"
Dugu Sword Demon let out an explosive shout.
A hundred-meter-long sword shadow crashed down.
Gu Yang was now like a blazing sun, his entire body radiating waves of heat.
With fiery red palms, he struck out several times against that sword shadow.
At this time, the other three Gu clan Martial Saints also immediately locked onto Dugu Sword Demon.
And launched their own attacks.
Dugu Sword Demon fought one against four, unleashing his sword crazily.
Meanwhile, Wang Zun was circulating his Tai Chi cultivation technique.
A slowly rotating phantom of Tai Chi appeared beneath his feet.
However, the Eight Trigrams pattern flickered in and out of existence.
Sweat beaded on Wang Zun's forehead.
He could tell.
The people the Gu clan sent this time were not simple.
The leader was none other than the Gu clan's patriarch, Gu Yang.
According to the intelligence he had.
This person's Nine Suns Divine Art and Blazing Pure Sun Palm had both reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
His strength was not inferior to Dugu Sword Demon in the slightest.
Plus three other Martial Saints.
Among them was a troublesome user of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, which also seemed to have reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Winning this battle would probably be very difficult.
The more anxious Wang Zun became, the harder it was for his Tai Chi domain to enter the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Gu Yang and the other three also noticed that the other person had actually not made a move yet.
But after seeing that the other party was using Tai Chi.
The four of them couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
"It's that genius Martial Saint from Great Xia."
"Mr. Bowen once said that this person has cultivated Tai Chi to the Unity of Heaven and Man."
"His Unity of Heaven and Man doesn't seem very stable."
"This person absolutely cannot be left alive!"
...
Originally, the four were besieging Dugu Sword Demon.
Now, two of them immediately split off.
And charged toward Wang Zun.
The Gu clan understood Tai Chi all too well.
Generations of the Gu clan had cultivated it.
Unfortunately, almost everyone struggled to achieve any success with it.
According to the Gu clan's records.
Out of countless generations of Gu clan members, only a scant few had managed to cultivate Tai Chi to the Unity of Heaven and Man.
And the last person in the Gu clan to achieve the Unity of Heaven and Man in Tai Chi.
Was Zhang Bowen's maternal grandfather.
He was also the number one expert of the Gu clan at that time.
He had already passed away for over a hundred years.
But his terrifying strength remained vivid in the memories of these elders.
Although their vitality had been suppressed to the realm of peak martial artists at the time.
Making it difficult to unleash the true power of their martial arts techniques.
But when facing Tai Chi at the Unity of Heaven and Man.
All other Unity of Heaven and Man techniques paled in comparison.
No one was his match.
Now, seeing an outsider cultivate Tai Chi to this realm.
Gu Yang and the others immediately developed murderous intent.
They wanted to strangle Wang Zun in the cradle right then and there.
"It seems I am still being underestimated!"
Dugu Sword Demon snorted coldly.
He drew his beloved bronze sword, Chunjun.
Instantly, his sword aura became like a torrent, suddenly growing several times more tyrannical.
He slashed out with a single strike.
The sword hummed and trembled, and a hundred-meter-long trench was cleaved into the earth.
The two people charging toward Wang Zun were successfully blocked.
Gu Yang also said coldly at this time:
"You are too arrogant!"
Nine great suns could be seen spinning madly behind him.
Forming a fiery red ring.
The Nine Suns Divine Art was pushed to its absolute limit.
Gu Yang's body had begun to emit a dazzling light, much like the sun itself.
Dugu Sword Demon wasted no words and thrust his sword straight out.
The sword aura, like a startling meteor, pierced through the hundred-meter distance in an instant.
Just as it was about to pierce Gu Yang.
A golden figure stepped in front of that sword aura.
Boom!
A sound like a massive tolling bell spread outward.
The Gu clan Martial Saint using the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art sneered:
"Your sword is still lacking a bit!"
Dugu Sword Demon narrowed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, the world turned fiery red.
Gu Yang's martial arts phantom instantly grew a hundred meters tall.
Then, he slammed his palm down.
The fiery red palm shadow radiated a terrifying temperature.
In the ruins beneath the palm shadow.
All combustible materials burst into flames.
"Qi-Breaking Stance!"
Dugu Sword Demon used offense as defense and launched another attack.
Forcefully breaking apart Gu Yang's palm strike.
However, his robes and all the hair on his head and face caught fire.
As his sword aura trembled.
The flames on Dugu Sword Demon's body were instantly extinguished.
It was just that he looked extremely disheveled.
A trace of blood had trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The skin on his body had also been roasted split and raw by that palm strike just now.
Zhao Bing and Ye Xing, who were originally planning to engage in combat.
Couldn't help but pause in shock.
The battle between Dugu Sword Demon and the four Martial Saints forced the two of them to retreat.
Both of them were currently at the mid-to-late stage of the Grandmaster realm.
Facing Martial Saints fighting at full power.
They could hardly even withstand the aftershocks.
At this time, the entire ruins of Linhai City had caught fire.
Ye Xing said to the pilot beside him:
"Keep an eye on the child."
"If anything happens to them, it will be troublesome later."
After Ye Xing and Zhao Bing moved far away from the Martial Saints' battlefield.
The two engaged in battle once again.
Ye Xing circulated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art; although his realm was not high, he was at least able to move.
Every time Zhao Bing swung his sword over.
He would use the Indestructible Golden Body to defend.
And then use the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art to counterattack.
"No matter how strong your sword technique is, what use is it if it can't break my defense!"
"Hahaha..."
Ye Xing let out a burst of arrogant laughter.
"We were both taught by the same master."
"It's just a pity that my Indestructible Golden Body perfectly counters your sword techniques."
In his view, having powerful offensive strength was certainly impressive.
But if one's defense was strong enough, then no one could do anything to them.
Although it would be hard to kill Zhao Bing, the other party shouldn't dream of killing him either.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Bing said coldly:
"Master anticipated this day would come long ago."
"For an ungrateful wretch like you, he deliberately held something back."
Ye Xing frowned.
His heart skipped a beat.
Chen Feng was not present at the moment.
Otherwise, he would definitely be speechless.
Back then, he simply hadn't had the time to tell Ye Xing about the flaws of the Indestructible Golden Body before reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man.
Yet now it had been twisted into him deliberately holding back.
Who could he even reason with about this?
The next moment.
Zhao Bing closed in on him.
Slashing over a dozen times in quick succession.
Ye Xing sneered:
"You still want to mess with my mind."
"That fool Chen Feng doesn't have the kind of scheming mind you claim he does."
However, just as he finished speaking.
A streak of sword aura suddenly pierced through his armpit.
Directly breaking through the astral qi shield of the Indestructible Golden Body.

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week?
