Changmao was an Ancient Fierce Beast, a Taotie, and its innate Talent was devouring. It even dared to directly refine a Seventh Grade Elixir that had been Refined into a Pill Cloud, completely unafraid of the violent Medicinal Power it contained.
After devouring the Medicinal Power of the Seventh Grade Elixir, Changmao’s strength began to skyrocket. In a flash, it broke through the Spirit Aspect Peak to reach the Spirit Emperor Level, finally stabilizing as a Tier Five Spirit Emperor. Its body had also grown enormous, resembling a small mountain. A formidable pressure radiated outward, giving weaker Martial Artists the uncontrollable urge to fall to their knees.
Once Changmao’s power stopped growing, Shen Haoran looked up at its massive body. A grin touched his lips. "Elder Yan," he said softly, "it’s our turn now!"
The moment Shen Haoran spoke, a terrifying Spiritual Thought pressure erupted from within him. This pressure was far more formidable than the one Changmao had unleashed. As it emerged, Shen Haoran’s power also began to skyrocket, quickly matching and even surpassing Changmao’s. His robes started to billow, stirred by an unseen force.
The faces of the four Fallen Valley Elders changed drastically as they watched the instantaneous power-up of both Changmao and Shen Haoran. The aura emanating from either of them was now stronger than any of theirs—and not just by a small margin.
"Hmph. It seems you came prepared," Ghost Gui sneered, his expression grave.
Shen Haoran clenched his fists, feeling the boundless, surging power coursing through him. "Weren’t you just as prepared," he said calmly, "when your Fallen Valley ambushed my Shen Family?"
"A pity you ruined our plans," Ghost Gui replied, his expression icy.
"That’s right. And today, I will make you repay the blood debt you inflicted upon my Shen Family—twice over!" With a flick of his long sleeve, Shen Haoran sent a sharp blast of Spiritual Power crashing into a nearby boulder, shattering it into a thousand pieces. At the same time, his aura exploded outward, a visible shockwave expanding from him as its center.
"Hmph. How naive. Do you really think Fallen Valley is a place you can come and go as you please? Since you’ve come here today, don’t even think about leaving alive. Neither you nor your Shen Family will escape our grasp!" Ghost Gui sneered, then shouted to the disciples below, "All disciples, hear my order! Form the Array of Ten Thousand Demons! Kill these two and show them the true power of Fallen Valley!"
As Ghost Gui’s voice faded, the stunned disciples below snapped back to their senses. They quickly dispersed, sitting cross-legged in a bizarre formation. Their hands flew through a series of Seal Techniques, and streams of dark energy shot out from their bodies, converging upon the four Elders. The Elders’ power began to surge, only stopping once their combined aura was on par with Shen Haoran’s. On Ghost Gui, two additional arms materialized from the dark energy.
"Shen Haoran, don’t think you’re the only one with tricks to boost your power," Ghost Gui said, his face contorted in a ferocious snarl as he flexed the two new arms condensed from dark energy. "If Fallen Valley wants you dead, you won’t live to see another sunrise!"
Shen Haoran, however, paid no mind to Ghost Gui’s threat. He raised his Soul-devouring Sword, pointed its tip directly at the four Elders, and said without expression, "Cut the crap. Anyone I want dead won’t live to see a second day! Let’s fight!"
With that, the Vermilion Bird Wings on Shen Haoran’s back gave a gentle flap. He vanished instantly, transforming into a black Sharp Arrow that shot toward Ghost Gui.
"Hmph, you’re asking to die!" Ghost Gui sneered as Shen Haoran charged him. "Third, Fourth, you two handle that beast! Second and I will take care of Shen Haoran. Remember, make it quick and don’t hold back! This brat is full of tricks!"
"Understood!" At Ghost Gui’s command, two of the Elders flickered, dodged Shen Haoran, and charged toward Changmao. Shen Haoran ignored them; he knew Changmao could handle them. His own opponents were Ghost Gui and the second Elder.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Haoran reached Ghost Gui and the other Elder. His right arm suddenly swelled, revealing the Qilin Arm with its crimson markings. In the next instant, sword in his left hand and right arm clenched into a fist, he attacked both Elders at once. The sharp Sword Aura and explosive power made both Elders look on in alarm.
Sensing the ferocity of Shen Haoran’s attack, both Ghost Gui and the second Elder wore grave expressions as they threw punches to defend themselves. An instant later, their three attacks collided with a deafening BOOM. A terrifying storm of Spiritual Power erupted, ripping the bluestone tiles from the ground below and flinging them into the air.
The terrifying power of Shen Haoran’s Qilin Arm combined with the sharp Sword Aura of his Soul-devouring Sword made the two Elders’ expressions change. They had underestimated his combat prowess; he was single-handedly blocking both of their attacks.
The terrifying storm of Spiritual Power raged for several moments before dissipating. Shen Haoran gazed at the two utterly shocked Elders, a cold smirk touching his lips. ’This is just the beginning. The real show is yet to come!’
Seeing the smirk on Shen Haoran’s face, the hair on the two Elders’ arms stood on end. A profound sense of danger welled up inside them. In the next instant, they saw countless dark vortexes materializing behind Shen Haoran.
"Infinite Sword Control," Shen Haoran whispered. Instantly, countless beams of black Sword Light erupted, their sharp Sword Qi tearing through the void to appear right before the two Elders.
"Fall back!" Ghost Gui roared. His figure flickered, leaving an afterimage as he shot backward. The dark Sword Lights pierced through the afterimages the two Elders had left behind and slammed into the massive cliff face. A deafening series of rumbles echoed as a powerful storm of Spiritual Power tore the cliff apart. Countless boulders tumbled down, burying the buildings below.
Watching the two Elders scramble to dodge, Shen Haoran flapped his Vermilion Bird Wings and shot after them. He thrust with his Soul-devouring Sword, unleashing a wave of Sword Qi that was just as deadly as the Endless Sword Formation at his back, boxing them in. The Elders’ room to maneuver shrank once more, leaving them with no choice but to face Shen Haoran’s Endless Sword Formation head-on.
BOOM BOOM BOOM...
Countless black Sword Lights rained down upon the two Elders like a meteor shower. The sharp blades of light shredded their robes and then sliced into their flesh. Even with the defenses of the Spirit Emperor Tier, they were still covered in a myriad of Sword Marks. Blood sprayed into the air, falling like a gruesome, crimson rain!
Seeing their two Elders beaten into a disadvantageous position so soon after the fight began, the Fallen Valley disciples couldn’t help but gasp. Ghost Gui was their Grand Elder! And he was being thrashed by a brat younger than any of them. ’Is Shen Haoran a monster?’
They all turned to look at Shen Haoran. Gazing upon his War God-like figure, they were rendered speechless...
