So, upon clarifying the strategy,

Chen Feng essentially kept avoiding the Great Elder of the Tie Sect.

He dedicated all his energy to evasion and dodging.

He did not face the attacks of the Tie Sect’s Great Elder head-on.

After all, the Tie Sect’s Great Elder had burned his essence blood at this moment, making him extremely powerful.

Even with Chen Feng’s current strength, he was unwilling to meet his full-on attacks.

Even if he could withstand it, it would cause some damage.

Therefore, Chen Feng decided to temporarily avoid the edge, planning to bide his time and weather through the Great Elder’s strong period.

As long as this period passed, then the Tie Sect’s Great Elder would be like a fish on the chopping block, at Chen Feng’s mercy.

The Tie Sect’s Great Elder naturally saw through Chen Feng’s strategy, and was utterly furious, desperately attacking Chen Feng, and even yelled angrily at him: "Chen Feng, if you’ve got the guts, don’t hide! What are you hiding from? Have the guts to face me head-on!"

"Do you think you’re foolish, or am I foolish? You’ve obviously burned your essence blood, why should I confront you directly at this moment? If I can just avoid you during this time, wouldn’t I win without fighting?"

Chen Feng slightly smirked, with a playful expression as he said.

"You’re so despicable, as the Patriarch of the Chen Family, can’t you fight me openly? I think you’re just a scoundrel!"

The Tie Sect’s Great Elder glared fiercely at Chen Feng, trying to provoke him.

"What’s wrong? Trying to provoke me? Do you think it would work on me?"

Chen Feng slightly smirked, with a playful expression as he said, "Also, as for despicable, may I ask, don’t you feel it’s quite laughable for you to say such things at your age? The Ancient Martial World has always been a survival of the fittest world, how can there be talk of despicability? As long as you can win, any means are acceptable, because people only remember the victor, understand?"

"You’re just afraid to fight me, if you’ve got the guts, don’t run!"

The Tie Sect’s Great Elder glared fiercely at Chen Feng, gritting his teeth as he said.

"Apologies, you attack, you burn essence blood, that’s your right! I dodge, escape and stall for time, that’s my prerogative, if you’ve got the guts, catch up to me, if you can injure me, or even kill me, that’s your skill, don’t impotently rage over there, and definitely don’t try to use provocations to make me submit, because it’s impossible for you to provoke me, understand?"

Chen Feng slightly smirked, with a playful expression as he said.

"You’re despicable, you’re shameless, you’re just a shameless scoundrel!"

The Tie Sect’s Great Elder roared in extreme anger, then directly charged at Chen Feng, launching a fierce attack against him.

At this moment, he was truly angry.

He desperately unleashed his attack moves at Chen Feng, intending to cause severe injuries.

Even if he couldn’t kill Chen Feng, at least before his essence blood burned out, he could heavily wound Chen Feng, so it wouldn’t be a complete waste of his essence blood.

And now, the Tie Sect’s Great Elder’s greatest fear was,

once his True Qi and essence blood were exhausted, Chen Feng would still be unscathed, which would indeed be a huge loss.

So, at this moment, he disregarded everything else, desperately launching attacks at Chen Feng.

He used everything he could, exhibiting all attack moves he had accumulated over the years.

However.

If Chen Feng’s strength was vastly inferior to his.

Then perhaps his continuous assaults might have injured Chen Feng.

But after Chen Feng broke through to the Heavenly Rank Middle Stage, his strength equated to the Heavenly Realm Perfection level, almost on par with the Great Elder of the Tie Sect.

And now, although the Great Elder of the Tie Sect burned his essence blood.

He himself was already severely injured, so even with the essence blood burn, the strength increase was only slightly better than at his peak.

Only slightly stronger than Chen Feng at best.

The strength gap wasn’t very large.

In this situation, it was tough for the Tie Sect’s Great Elder to catch Chen Feng if he wanted to evade.

Unless he could unleash some powerful binding martial arts to immobilize Chen Feng temporarily.

That way, his martial arts could potentially hit Chen Feng.

Otherwise, it would be futile.

Furthermore.

Chen Feng himself had some defensive measures.

No matter how the Tie Sect’s Great Elder attacked, it was basically ineffective.

In this manner.

Amid Chen Feng’s dodging and the Tie Sect’s Great Elder’s frenzied pursuit,

the Great Elder’s essence blood gradually burned out.

Moreover, due to his excessively fierce attacks,

the essence blood consumption was much faster than usual.

Seeing his essence blood about to be completely consumed.

Yet Chen Feng remained lively.

The Great Elder’s expression instantly turned extremely grim.

"You... you stop right there!"

The Tie Sect’s Great Elder shouted in anger.

However.

Chen Feng completely ignored him, mobilized all his True Qi, and accelerated to the utmost speed.

Once the Tie Sect’s Great Elder attacked.

He would retreat immediately, prioritizing defense.

If he could completely dodge, he would do so straight away.

Even if he couldn’t dodge, he would muster all his True Qi for defense.

With this approach.

His consumption was minimal.

As long as he didn’t engage directly with the Great Elder of the Tie Sect,

he essentially wouldn’t suffer any disadvantage.

Moreover, it was very challenging for the Great Elder to defeat him in a short time.

Finally.

The Great Elder’s essence blood was utterly depleted.

For a moment, the aura of the Great Elder of the Tie Sect plummeted.

This was the aftereffect of burning essence blood.

When the essence blood was exhausted,

the side effects would naturally follow.

The face of the Great Elder of the Tie Sect instantly turned pale.

Soon after, his entire aura began to plummet like falling off a cliff.

His realm also started to show signs of retreating.

After all, exhausting all his essence blood involved a dangerous side effect of a realm decline.

And now.

After his essence blood burned out, the side effects kicked in.

Thus, his realm naturally began to decline rapidly.

Moreover, the falling speed was extraordinarily quick, akin to jumping off a building.

From Heavenly Rank Perfection, it swiftly dropped to Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak, then to Heavenly Rank Middle Stage, and Heavenly Rank Early Stage.

Eventually, it fell directly to Earth Rank Early Stage.

He had essentially dropped down two major realms altogether.

This cliff-like decline was arguably the most terrifying side effect of burning essence blood.

It was precisely because of this.

Most ancient martial artists in the Ancient Martial World would absolutely not burn their essence blood unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, the realms arduously advanced through cultivation could be utterly destroyed.
