Chapter 542 The Great Xuanyuan Rock Cuts Off Its Roots
Not only were they completely unfazed by his attack, but they even actively met it head-on!
Is this a sign of disrespect?

Or is she trying to use him to strengthen her physique and become another Li Dangxin?

Upon realizing this, Xuanyuan Dapan's expression suddenly turned stern.

If you want to use it as a whetstone, you'll have to see if your knife is good enough.

If Xuanyuan Dapan had only used half of his strength in the previous probing exchanges, he was now unleashing seventy or eighty percent of his power, drawing upon the might of heaven and earth to attack Zhou Chengan.

If it were an ordinary Vajra Realm martial artist, they would probably die instantly under the might of Heaven.

Faced with Xuanyuan Dapan's attack, Zhou Cheng'an still chose to withstand it with his physical body. Although the golden light on his body dimmed a bit, his body was not harmed.

More importantly, anyone could tell that his breathing was becoming longer and more even, and his state of mind was becoming more and more stable.

Xuanyuan Dapan went from initially disdainful to taking it seriously, and now his expression is even more solemn.

Watching Zhou Cheng'an become increasingly adept at handling the divine power he had unleashed, Xuan Yuan Da Pan couldn't help but think of someone.

Ye Hongting was once known as one of the four great masters, along with Sword God Li Chungang, Green Robe of Fengdu, and Spear Immortal Wang Xiu.

Ye Hongting was born in the prestigious Southern Frontier Dragon Palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was skilled at making human skin puppets from men with suitable physiques and was also adept at using talismans to cultivate qi. He possessed the physique of a Great Vajra and the comprehension of the Celestial Realm.

Back then, Ye Hongting used the Dragon Palace's secret techniques to integrate the talisman armor with himself, making him impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. He fought against people with the Vajra Realm, and they were always exhausted to death after being entangled by him for days and nights.

Unless someone like Han Shengxuan peels off his armor and skin along with him, even an attack from a Celestial Realm expert wouldn't hurt Ye Hongting.

The current Zhou Chengan is very similar to Ye Hongting back then.

The only difference between the two is that Ye Hongting at least had a talisman armor, while Zhou Chengan had nothing but a faint golden light on his body.

Although he had never fought Ye Hongting back then, Xuan Yuan Dapan felt that Zhou Chengan in front of him was probably even more troublesome than Ye Hongting.

However, he was a martial artist after all, and he knew the weaknesses of martial artists.

Take a breath!

The so-called "breathing exchange" does not refer to breathing, but rather to the flow of vital energy.

This true energy is different from ordinary internal energy; it is a unique true energy belonging to martial artists, much like the Confucian saying, "A righteous spirit in one's heart, a thousand miles of heaven and earth, how delightful the wind!"

The higher a martial artist's level, the longer their breath becomes and the faster they can breathe. But no matter how high their level, when a martial artist breathes, their true energy will surge back like seawater, which can be said to be the biggest weakness of a martial artist.

After exchanging blows for a while, Xuan Yuan Da Pan naturally realized that Zhou Cheng An was not a traditional Taoist who practiced Taoist arts and cultivated Qi, but a martial artist.

He didn't believe Zhou Cheng'an could hold out like this without taking a breath, so he didn't give Zhou Cheng'an any chance to catch his breath and frantically summoned the power of heaven and earth to launch an attack.

Once Zhou Cheng'an's vital energy is exhausted, Xuan Yuan Dapan is confident that he can easily kill him in the instant he takes a breath.

The two exchanged a hundred blows.

Xuanyuan Dapan's expression was solemn, and he took the initiative to distance himself from Zhou Chengan.

He hadn't expected to breathe before Zhou Cheng'an.

Watching from the sidelines, Lin Ya clenched his fists in excitement.

Xuanyuan Dapan needs to breathe!

In her view, this was Zhou Cheng'an's only chance; if the fight continued, Zhou Cheng'an would definitely lose.

After all, no matter what, Xuanyuan Dapan was a veteran Celestial Realm expert, and the strength of his true energy was far beyond what Zhou Chengan, who had just entered the Vajra Realm, could compare to.

Her only worry now is whether Zhou Chengan can seize this opportunity.

In fact, Zhou Chengan was aware of his disadvantages.

If he hadn't had to dissipate his cultivation and start over, killing Xuanyuan Dapan wouldn't be an easy task, but it would only be a matter of time.

The problem is, he had to start over after his cultivation was depleted.

Although retraining his skills made his true qi more abundant than when he first condensed it, it also meant that the amount of his true qi was far less than at its peak.

Simply put, it means trading quantity for quality.

Compared to the past, he now needs ten times more true energy to break through to the same realm.

If his previous true energy was water vapor, then his current true energy is water; the two are not even on the same level.

It was also because of the improved quality of his true qi that his breath of martial arts true qi was even longer than that of Xuanyuan Dapan, who was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

The quality of true qi is high, but unfortunately, as a beginner in the Vajra realm, the amount of true qi is insufficient.

This means that he cannot afford to engage in a war of attrition with Xuanyuan Dapan.

If he doesn't use his trump card, he'll definitely be the one to lose in the end.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Dapan was creating distance and preparing to catch his breath, Zhou Chengan did not hesitate to use his sword.

He thrust out his iron sword, the sword's momentum overlapping, the sword light like a rushing river surging towards Xuanyuan Dapan.

This time, although Xuanyuan Dapan also triggered the might of heaven, it was somewhat different from before.

Previously, it was simply a matter of invoking the power of heaven to attack, much like the magical techniques of the three religions, which belonged to ranged attacks.

Now, however, he was using the power of heaven to empower himself, making it seem as if he wanted to compete with Zhou Cheng'an in martial arts.

Xuanyuan Dapan's aura surged, and he suddenly soared into the air, clenching his five fingers into a fist and raising it high towards the sky, before unleashing a fierce punch.

The fist fell like a meteorite, unstoppable.

The fierce force of the punch caused the air along the way to boil as if it were boiling water, and the ground cracked inch by inch, with cracks spreading out like a spider web.

Boom! !
The fist and the sword collided, and a tremendous, earth-shattering explosion rang out.

A powerful hurricane suddenly appeared from the center of the collision, sweeping out in all directions and sending up clouds of sand and stones.

The force contained in these sand and stones was no less than that of any powerful bow or crossbow, causing the spectators to scream in agony and resulting in considerable casualties.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook violently, as if an earth dragon had turned over, and the two people in mid-air crashed to the ground.

"Is this what a battle between those of the highest rank is like? It's truly incredibly fierce!"

“I have seen Vajra and Finger Profound masters duel, but none of them are as amazing as this. Not to mention Ancestor Xuanyuan, Zhou Yichui is definitely not an ordinary Vajra Realm expert.”

"Stop talking nonsense and run!!"

As the two clashed, their internal energy and sword energy exploded continuously, sweeping across all directions.

Although the snowfield was not small, the aftershocks of their battle were even more terrifying. Once caught in their fight, few people would likely survive.

Therefore, the spectators revealed their identities, used their lightness skills to escape at all costs, and cleared a large open space in an instant.

Lin Ya didn't dare to delay either, grabbed Jiang Yu, and fled backward.

On the snow-covered plain, the two engaged in a lightning-fast exchange of blows.

Zhou Cheng'an thrust out his iron sword repeatedly, his whole body exuding a faint and sharp aura, displaying an invincible spirit of "with a long sword in hand, I can roam the world."

The sword light flashed by, and the sword energy was like a celestial river, vast and mighty, cascading down.

In fact, many swordsmen seemed to emanate sword energy surging forth, creating a grand echo like a raging torrent, giving one the feeling that a single sword strike could destroy cities, uproot mountains, and move seas.

Xuanyuan Dapan seemed to be in the midst of a torrent of sword energy, surrounded by sharp sword energy that pressed down like a tidal wave, as if he were about to be torn to pieces at any moment.

But he did not retreat. His fists rained down, breaking through the sword energy that was coming at him. Finally, he swung his fist, which was as big as a bowl, and split the river of sword energy in two with one punch, directly meeting Zhou Cheng'an's iron sword.

boom!
Fist and sword clashed once again.

Instantly, the force of the fist raged, the sword energy shattered and overflowed, and the ground of the snowfield was instantly pulverized into countless dust particles, which flew into the sky like a tornado and then fell down in a flurry.

After this attack, the two combatants who had clashed in mid-air were each shaken back ten feet and landed on the ground again.

Xuanyuan Dapan stood with trembling hands behind his back, staring intently at Zhou Chengan. He had thought that the young Taoist's physique and fist techniques were his greatest trump card, but he hadn't expected that the other party's swordsmanship was even more formidable.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, he is better than him.

"Are you really Zhou Yichui, who has recently risen to fame in the martial arts world?" "Don't worry, I'm not some reincarnation of a celestial being or some reincarnation of a master." Zhou Cheng'an understood his unspoken meaning and smiled slightly, "There's something else I need to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

In Xuanyuan Dapan's view, although Zhou Chengan called himself a Taoist priest, his aura and temperament were completely different from those of a Taoist priest.

Beneath that handsome face lay not only an overbearing and arrogant nature, but also a hint of malevolence, much like a demonic figure from the Northern Wilderness.

But the more this was the case, the more excited Xuan Yuan Da Pan became.

He had never toyed with such an unbelievably handsome Taoist priest.

Ying Xun smiled and said, "Xuanyuan Jingxuan died a painful death, but you... will die a more painful death than him!"

"Very well, it's been a long time since anyone has dared to provoke me like this."

Xuanyuan Dapan laughed in anger, but did not attack again. Instead, he asked, "I am very curious, how can you have such cultivation at such a young age?"

"Probably because Master Dao is a genius, a peerless genius."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Da Pan was first taken aback, then sneered, looked Zhou Cheng An up and down with a lewd look in his eyes, and finally couldn't help but stick out his scarlet tongue and lick his lips.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. After I capture you, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. But don't worry, with a beauty like you, I won't let you die."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you casually, but I'll make sure you can't be a lecherous old man anymore, and I'll make you taste the pain of those women you used to humiliate." Ying Xun still had a smile on his face, but the crimson light flashing in his eyes was chilling.

"Hahaha, you have achieved your current level of cultivation at such a young age. You certainly have the right to be arrogant. You might become the next Qi Xuanzhen in the future."

Xuanyuan Dapan laughed heartily, his eyes flashing with divine light, and his tone suddenly turned icy cold, as if it could freeze the heavens and earth: "But if you dare to be presumptuous in front of me now, you will have to pay the price you deserve. A genius who dies prematurely is never a true genius."

boom! !

Xuanyuan Dapan stomped his foot on the ground, unleashing a torrent of violent and fierce energy.

It was just a simple kick, yet it caused the ground to tremble violently, and the force surged, enveloping and condensing soil, gravel, and debris into a divine dragon that charged towards Zhou Cheng'an.

Zhou Chengan's expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand and unleashed a sword strike.

The sword light, like a dragon, clashed with it, and then they annihilated each other.

In the instant that both vanished, Xuanyuan Dapan moved again, his entire body seemingly transforming into lightning. His fists were like shooting stars, without any complex variations, only straightforward speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, full of fierce and domineering meaning.

Zhou Chengan's eyes flashed, and with a flick of his wrist, his sword shone like a starry river.

The sword light transformed into thousands of cold stars, each star piercing the sky, each imbued with astonishing sword energy, capable of easily piercing through metal.

With a punch and a sword, the clash began once more.

Fist force and sword energy surged wildly in all directions!
Some of the spectators who hadn't fled earlier let out another scream.

Even so, there are still people who don't want to miss the showdown between the two.

The Xuanyuan family.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng looked up at the snow-covered plain and murmured, "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings, while a family that accumulates evil deeds will surely have abundant calamities."

After speaking, he turned his gaze back to the book in his hand.

outside the city.

The four men and one horse were still waiting for Zhou Chengan.

Old Huang placed his hand on the sword case, while Miss Li paced anxiously, muttering to herself that everything would be alright, as if she were chanting a sutra.

Xu Fengnian and Wen Hua craned their necks to look at Huishan, feeling that Zhou Chengan should be back soon.

Perhaps their necks were sore, because they both looked away at the same time.

"We shouldn't have let him go," Xu Fengnian sighed.

Wen Hua didn't speak, but took a deep breath, drew his wooden sword, and began practicing the eight sword techniques that Zhou Chengan had taught him.

On Mount Hui.

Lin Ya didn't understand why Zhou Cheng'an was still unwilling to leave when he had already done so much.

There's clearly no enmity between them and Xuanyuan Dapan, so why is it necessary to do this?

Moreover, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, so there's no need to rush it.

She didn't understand, which made her even more curious about Zhou Cheng'an.

So she took Jiang Yu back to Daxueping.

It's just much farther away than where we were before.

Daxueping.

A full-force attack from a Celestial Realm expert was indeed terrifying, and the golden light emanating from Zhou Cheng'an's body dimmed further.

He swung his sword again.

This sword strike lacked any remarkable aura; it was as if he were casually swinging his sword.

After this sword strike, the golden light on Zhou Cheng'an's body completely disappeared.

"Hahaha, kid, it seems you've run out of tricks." Xuanyuan Dapan laughed wildly.

Zhou Cheng'an sheathed his sword, as if resigned to his fate, closed his eyes, and stood motionless.

Just as Xuanyuan Dapan was about to capture him, his movements suddenly froze.

Ok?
Where did this wind come from?

Xuanyuan Dapan frowned. As a Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator, he was fully aware of everything around him, but the wind felt very strange to him.

Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared.

This sword strike seemed to come from the void, transcending the boundaries of time and space, leaving Xuanyuan Dapan no time to react.

"what!!"

Xuanyuan Dapan let out a heart-wrenching wail.

Blood was flowing continuously between his legs.

"I will tear you to pieces!" Xuanyuan Dapan roared furiously.

At this moment, he had no intention of toying with Zhou Cheng'an; he had only one thought in his mind.

—Kill him!

No one expected that Zhou Cheng'an would actually injure Xuan Yuan Da Pan.

I never imagined that Zhou Cheng'an would hurt Xuan Yuan Da Pan...

Zhou Chengan opened his eyes and said earnestly, "This sword is for those women you stole and those who were killed."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu burst into tears.

Lin Ya now understood why Zhou Cheng'an had stopped leaving.

Zhou Chengan is not only a martial artist, but also a swordsman!
If I had left just now, my sword intent would have remained unfulfilled, and my swordsmanship would likely have stalled there.

"go!"

Lin Ya pulled up Jiang Yu, who was crying uncontrollably, and was about to leave.

"No, I want to go with Master Zhou."

Lin Ya's expression froze for a moment, then he shouted sharply, "Come with me now! Staying here will only distract him!"
