The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Bi Xuan did not pounce on Yi Huawei, but instead floated back three zhang, blocking the way between Jieli Khan and Yi Huawei.

His move caused the Khan, who was about to order an attack, to frown, and also made the furious Turkic generals temporarily hold back.

Bi Xuan held a superior position in the Turkic Khaganate, and even the Khan had to give him some face. Seeing that he was making a move, everyone wanted to see what this Martial Venerable intended to do.

Bi Xuan ignored the questioning looks from Jieli and the others behind him; his entire focus was fixed on Yi Huawei.

While Jieli and Yi Huawei were talking, Bi Xuan had been carefully observing and sensing them. That aura of indifference towards all living beings and transcendence was not a pretense, but truly emanated from their very bones. This gradually transformed the anger of being slighted in Bi Xuan's heart into an unprecedented fighting spirit and... a faint sense of apprehension.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment."

Bi Xuan finally spoke, his voice low yet carrying an undeniable authority. He was speaking not only to Jieli, but also to all the Turks behind him:

"Although this person speaks arrogantly, I have not yet truly tested the depth of his cultivation. His fight with that Cihang Jingzhai woman just now was merely a superficial encounter. If we were to surround and kill him with a large army, even if we could win, what would become of the martial might of my Turks? What would become of the dignity of the steppe warriors?"

He slowly turned around and faced Jieli: "Since this man regards the heroes of my grasslands as nothing, then his arrogance should be proven by the martial arts of my grasslands! I, Bi Xuan, in the name of 'Martial Venerable,' request a fair fight with this man! Life and death are irrelevant; victory or defeat is up to fate! I beg the Khan and all the warriors to stand aside for now!"

These words, spoken with resounding force and boundless pride, not only upheld the dignity of the Turkic martial arts world but also offered Jieli a way out—if Bi Xuan won, everything would be fine; if Bi Xuan lost… then it wouldn't be too late to mobilize the army. Moreover, letting Bi Xuan test this man's strength was exactly what Jieli wanted.

Jieli Khan's expression shifted, and after a moment's contemplation, he nodded: "Very well! Since the Martial Venerable has such lofty aspirations, how can I refuse? We shall obey the Martial Venerable's words! The entire army shall listen to my command and retreat a hundred paces to cover the Martial Venerable's retreat! Without my order, no one shall move!"

"Follow the order!"

Three thousand iron cavalrymen responded in unison, their voices echoing across the grasslands. Then, under the command of their general, they retreated in perfect unison, clearing a larger area of ​​the battlefield. However, their formation remained intact, bows were nocked, swords were drawn, and they still subtly surrounded Yi Huawei and his two companions in the center.

Bi Xuan then turned back to Yi Huawei, his burning gaze filled with fierce fighting spirit:

"Your Excellency just now commented that my martial arts are 'more forceful than versatile, too aggressive, and harmful to both the enemy and the practitioner, not the true path.' I have cultivated diligently for decades and believe that my Blazing Sun Technique has reached its pinnacle, making me invincible across the grasslands. Today, I request that you use your 'great path' to enlighten my 'minor path'!"

His words were both a challenge and a public revelation of Yi Huawei's earlier assessment, placing himself in a position where he had to fight with all his might. Victory would uphold the prestige of the Martial Venerable and his beliefs in martial arts; defeat could shatter his Dao heart and destroy his lifelong reputation.

All eyes were on Yi Huawei.

Shi Feixuan forced herself to stand upright, her eyes filled with worry. Bi Xuan's Blazing Sun Technique was incredibly powerful; she had personally experienced it. The scorching, violent true energy, seemingly capable of burning a person from the inside out, was truly terrifying. Although her master was unfathomable, Bi Xuan was, after all, a grandmaster and not someone to be trifled with.

Lian Rou was so nervous that her palms were sweaty. Although she knew that Yi Huawei was incredibly powerful, the outcome was unpredictable when facing a martial master who had dominated the grasslands for decades and thousands of menacing cavalry.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yi Huawei slowly took a few steps forward and stopped ten feet in front of Bi Xuan. This distance was already a dangerous range that experts of their level could reach in an instant.

His gaze remained calm as he looked at Bi Xuan, whose aura was constantly rising and whose surrounding air was beginning to distort and blur due to the high temperature, and he spoke calmly:
"Since you insist on fighting, so be it."

Yi Huawei raised his right hand and extended one finger:
"I'll give you ten moves."

"Within ten moves, I will only defend and not attack. You may use all the skills you have learned in your life, whether it is the Blazing Sun Technique or any other hidden tricks. If you can hurt me even a little bit or force me to take a step back, then you will win. After ten moves, if I make a move, you will have no chance."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence!

Even the howling wind seemed to freeze!

Give him ten moves? Only defend and never attack? Win by injuring him even slightly or forcing him back a step?

What arrogance! No, this goes beyond arrogance; it is an insult to Bi Xuan, to the title of "Martial Venerable," and to the pinnacle of grassland martial arts!
Khan Jieli and the Turkic generals were initially stunned, then their faces broke into a furious, almost mocking smile. They thought this Central Plains man must have gone mad! Who was Bi Xuan? An invincible legend of the grasslands! His Blazing Sun Technique was said to be able to turn grass and trees within a hundred paces to ash, his true energy as scorching as lava! Giving him ten moves? And only defending without attacking? Wasn't that courting death?
Shi Feixuan and Lian Rou were also stunned. They knew Yi Huawei was strong, but... to let Bi Xuan have ten moves? That was far too arrogant! Bi Xuan was no ordinary person!

After a brief moment of shock, Bi Xuan's anger finally overwhelmed his reason and any trace of fear. In his entire life, he had never suffered such humiliation. Yi Huawei's words filled him with more anger and humiliation than any vicious curse!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Bi Xuan, enraged, laughed and uttered three "good"s. With each word, his aura surged! Crimson Yang True Qi surged around him, seemingly transforming into tangible flames that enveloped his entire body. The withered grass beneath his feet instantly turned black and burned, and even the frozen earth began to sizzle and emit white smoke! The surrounding temperature rose sharply, and the nearby Turkic warhorses neighed uneasily.

"Since you are so confident, I shall humbly accept your offer! I hope that after ten moves, you will still be standing there spouting nonsense!"

Before he could finish speaking, Bi Xuan made his move!
Without any probing or holding back, the first move was one of the most explosive killing techniques in the Blazing Sun Technique—

"The Great Sun has fallen!"

Bi Xuan's figure seemed to transform into a falling sun, carrying a terrifying aura capable of incinerating the entire world, and crashing down towards Yi Huawei at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive! Crimson true energy condensed into a gigantic fiery palm, with magma flowing within it. Wherever it passed, the air crackled and shimmered, leaving behind distorted marks. This palm strike was unleashed by Bi Xuan in fury, using all his strength, determined to pulverize Yi Huawei, along with his arrogant words!

Faced with a palm strike powerful enough to shatter stone and melt metal, Yi Huawei didn't even lift an eyelid. He simply raised his left hand casually, fingers spread, and gently supported the massive, fiery palm that crashed down.

The terrifyingly powerful fiery giant hand, upon contacting Yi Huawei's palm, seemed to have struck an invisible yet indestructible barrier. The raging, scorching Yang energy vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. Yi Huawei's palm didn't even touch the flames; he merely held them out in mid-air, yet the intense heat, enough to melt fine steel, couldn't penetrate within three feet of him!

Bi Xuan felt as if his full-force palm strike had struck the vast and boundless starry sky, yielding no force whatsoever. In fact, a strange pulling force nearly caused his true energy to go astray. He was terrified. Using the force, he spun rapidly, flipped in mid-air, and landed more than three zhang away, his face showing disbelief for the first time.

"The first move."

Yi Huawei lowered his hand, his tone indifferent, as if he had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

"impossible!"

Bi Xuan let out a low roar, his eyes flashing with even greater ferocity.

"Fire Dragon Breaks the Sky!"

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and then thrust them forward with tremendous force! A ferocious fire dragon, formed entirely from crimson blazing sun energy, roared and burst forth from his palms!

The dragon's body was as thick as a water bucket, its scales and claws flying, lifelike, carrying a more condensed and concentrated destructive energy, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Yi Huawei! Wherever the fire dragon passed, it plowed a scorched trench in the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

This move, where true energy is condensed into form and changes at will, is already a grandmaster's technique! Its power surpasses even the previous one!
Yi Huawei didn't even raise his hand this time; he just stood there quietly, watching the fiercely charging flaming dragon.

Just as the fiery dragon was about to devour him, Yi Huawei's body seemed to ripple slightly, as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake. The ferocious fiery dragon, upon touching the invisible barrier around him, crumbled and dissipated from head to toe, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun! There was no explosion, no impact; it simply turned into specks of crimson light without a sound, ultimately vanishing into the air.

"The second move."

Yi Huawei's voice remained calm and composed.

Bi Xuan's expression finally changed, becoming extremely solemn, even showing a hint of fear. His two strongest moves hadn't even touched the hem of his opponent's clothes! His opponent hadn't even made any decent defensive move! This was completely beyond his comprehension!

"I do not believe!"

Bi Xuan roared wildly, like a mad tiger, pushing the Flaming Sun Technique to its limit, concentrating all his life's power into his fists and legs, and launching a fierce close-range attack!
"Burning Mountain Fist!" "Boiling Sea Leg!" "Wildfire Finger!" "Purgatory Palm!"... Each move was faster than the last, each strike more ruthless than the last! Crimson fist shadows, leg winds, finger strikes, and palm prints enveloped Yi Huawei like a storm! Each strike contained the immense power to split mountains and the high temperature to melt gold and iron. The ground within a radius of dozens of feet was scorched black, grass ash filled the sky, and the air was so hot that it was difficult to breathe.

However, Yi Huawei, who was at the center of the storm, remained as steadfast as a rock in a raging torrent.

Bi Xuan's fierce attacks, capable of destroying cities and fortresses, were always dodged by the slightest margin at the last moment before they were about to strike, or gently deflected or diverted by some invisible force. Often, with just a flick of his fingertip or a sweep of his sleeve, he could neutralize a potentially fatal attack.

He strolled leisurely amidst the crimson raging torrent, his blue robe still pristine, his hair perfectly styled, and even his breathing as steady as ever.

The third move, the fourth move, the fifth move... In the blink of an eye, eight moves had passed.

Bi Xuan's forehead was already beaded with sweat, and his breathing had become heavy. Such a high-intensity burst of power had greatly depleted his true energy. What chilled him even more was the unfathomable depth of his opponent, the feeling that his bottom line was forever untouchable. He felt like an ant roaring at a vast ocean, exerting all his strength but unable to even create a ripple.

"Nine suns soar across the sky!"

Bi Xuan bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence mixed with his powerful true energy. He then traced mysterious trajectories with his hands in front of his chest. Instantly, nine blazing crimson orbs, like miniature suns, appeared around him. Each orb contained terrifying energy, spinning and expanding violently. With a roar, they hurtled towards Yi Huawei's vital points from nine different, cunning angles, trailing long fiery tails! This was the ultimate group attack technique of the Blazing Sun Art—the simultaneous unleashing of nine suns, sealing off all escape routes, its power earth-shattering!

Faced with this unavoidable attack, Yi Huawei took a small half-step forward with his left foot, raised his right hand, and gently twirled his five fingers in front of him like a lotus flower in bloom.

An invisible and colorless vortex was instantly formed. It was only the size of a palm at first, but it expanded in an instant, turning into a transparent vortex with a diameter of about ten feet, which quietly floated in front of him.

The nine incredibly powerful "mini suns," upon touching the transparent vortex, seemed to be pulled and torn apart by an invisible force, deviating from their original trajectory. Like nine iron beads attracted by a magnet, they were involuntarily thrown into the vortex!
The vortex paused slightly, then reversed its rotation. The nine crimson orbs were forcibly compressed and fused by some mysterious force, eventually transforming into a fist-sized, extremely restrained crimson-gold orb, which quietly floated above Yi Huawei's palm, spinning rapidly.

"Back to you."

Yi Huawei flicked his finger.

The crimson-gold sphere, which contained the full power of Bi Xuan's ninth move, shot towards Bi Xuan silently at a speed ten times faster than it had come!

Bi Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly. He roared and clasped his hands together, unleashing his blazing Yang True Qi without reservation, creating layers of crimson energy walls in front of him!

"boom--!!!"

The crimson-gold sphere crashed into the air wall, unleashing a deafening roar! The blinding light made it impossible to open one's eyes, and the violent shockwave swept outwards in a ring, sending sand and stones flying. Even the Turkic cavalrymen watching from a hundred paces away were thrown off their horses and thrown into chaos!
As the light faded, Bi Xuan staggered back seven or eight steps, each step leaving deep footprints in the scorched ground. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, his sleeves were torn to shreds, and the exposed skin was crimson red, trembling slightly. He had managed to withstand the even more powerful blow that had been returned to him, but he had already suffered considerable internal injuries.

"The ninth move."

Yi Huawei's voice remained calm: "You have one last trick up your sleeve."

Bi Xuan, panting heavily, stared intently at Yi Huawei, his anger long since replaced by boundless chill and despair. He knew he had lost, utterly and without a doubt. The strength his opponent had displayed had transcended the realm of martial arts; it was a level he could neither comprehend nor reach.

However, the dignity of the Martial Venerable and the pride of the grassland warriors would not allow him to surrender without a fight! Even knowing that defeat was inevitable, he would still unleash his full power in this final move!
"The... tenth move!"

Bi Xuan roared hoarsely, burning and compressing all his remaining internal energy, including his heart's blood essence, and concentrating it on his right fist. His entire right arm instantly turned crimson red like a branding iron, as if magma was flowing beneath his skin, with blood vessels bulging and radiating a terrifyingly destructive aura.

"I will transform myself into Yang, and perish together with the enemy!"

This is a forbidden move from the Blazing Sun Technique, a move that results in mutual destruction! Bi Xuan transformed into a resolute crimson meteor, carrying a fierce will to burn everything in its path, to destroy everything in its path, and crashed headlong into Yi Huawei! This attack was completely undefended, its power and speed exceeding Bi Xuan's lifelong limits, even causing chaos in the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth's energy), its momentum was extremely terrifying!
Faced with this self-sacrificing attack, a faint ripple finally crossed Yi Huawei's eyes, seemingly a mixture of admiration and regret, before ultimately turning into indifference.

He neither dodged nor used any clever tricks to defuse the situation.

He simply stood there quietly, watching the crimson meteor hurtle towards him with overwhelming force.

Just as Bi Xuan's fist, burning with life force, was about to touch his chest—

Yi Huawei gently raised his right index finger, the tip of which gleamed with a strange luster as warm and smooth as jade, yet as deep and profound as the night sky. He moved slowly yet swiftly, with unparalleled precision, and touched Bi Xuan's brow.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Bi Xuan's imposing and resolute figure froze the moment Yi Huawei's fingertip touched his brow! All the raging and intense Yang energy dissipated abruptly, like a punctured balloon! His skin, as red as a branding iron, quickly faded, and the light in his eyes dimmed and went out at a visible speed.

Yi Huawei's fingertips seemed to connect to a bottomless black hole.

Bi Xuan's powerful and domineering Fiery Yang True Qi, honed through decades of arduous cultivation, surged uncontrollably and frantically towards that seemingly ordinary finger like a river bursting its banks, then vanished. Not only his True Qi, but also his abundant life essence and the very source of his flesh and blood were being frantically drained away!
"Uh... ah..."

Bi Xuan made a hoarse sound in his throat, but couldn't utter a complete sentence. His face was filled with extreme terror, pain, and incomprehension, and his body withered and shriveled at a visible speed. His full muscles collapsed, his skin quickly lost its luster, became wrinkled, and resembled dried tree bark. His hair turned from black to gray, then from gray to white, and then fell out.

This process took only two or three breaths.

When Yi Huawei withdrew his finger, Bi Xuan had already turned into a withered corpse, as if all moisture and life had been drained from him, remaining frozen in place, still in the forward-rushing posture.

A gust of biting cold wind blew by.

"call--"

The mummified corpse, like a sand sculpture weathered over millions of years, instantly disintegrated, turning into countless gray-black powders that scattered and blended into the dust and cold wind of the grassland, leaving no trace.

Bi Xuan, the undisputed martial arts master of the grasslands who had been invincible for decades, vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed in this world.

The whole place was dead silent.

Only the sound of the cold wind howling was exceptionally clear.

Khagan Jieli's mouth gaped open, his expression frozen in utter shock and terror, the whip in his hand slipping unconsciously to the ground. The Turkic generals behind him were all ashen-faced, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their eyes fixed on Yi Huawei as if he were a demon god crawling out of the deepest hell!

The three thousand Turkic cavalry, who had been so menacing just moments before, were now completely silent. Their warhorses trotted restlessly, and the riders' hands, gripping their weapons tightly, were covered in cold sweat. A chill that seemed to emanate from the depths of their souls gripped each and every one of them.

Shi Feixuan and Lian Rou stood there dumbfounded. Although they knew Yi Huawei was powerful, seeing a grandmaster-level expert being completely wiped out in such a bizarre and terrifying way still shocked them and left them speechless.

Yi Huawei slowly withdrew his fingers, gently brushed away non-existent dust from his sleeves, and calmly looked at Jieli Khan, who was still in a petrified state.

"Ten moves have passed."

The sound reached everyone's ears clearly, carrying a chilling calmness:

"Now, does the Khan still wish to keep me as a guest minister?" (End of Chapter)
