I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 246 The Number One Prodigy of the Great Yu Dynasty
"Four people...not enough!"

Chen Zhian's voice still echoed in the courtyard.

The four people, Yan Hemian, had different expressions in their eyes.

Xie Beitu and Pei Nanshu frowned, wondering what Chen Zhian was up to.

Chen Zhian stood up, one hand on the Tiger Soul Blade at his waist, ignoring the gazes of the crowd, his eyes darting left and right as he said, “Everyone has different talents in cultivation, and their opportunities are also different... Although you are from the six families of the Great Yu, you are still far behind the true geniuses of this world.”

Your cultivation levels are only at the peak of the Innate Realm. Even if the four of you attack together, it will be difficult for me to use my full strength.

So four people aren't enough.

Chen Zhian spoke calmly, his eyes showing no arrogance, but his words struck everyone like a thunderbolt.

The courtyard immediately fell silent.

Chen Zhian seemed oblivious to the doubts in everyone's eyes. He suddenly stretched out a hand and lightly touched Meng Huali of the Cang Sheng Sect.

"It is extremely rare for guests from the Great Qian to come to our Great Yu. Now that we have the opportunity, Chen Zhian would like to learn about the cultivation methods of the Great Qian."

Meng Huali had been watching this scene with great interest.

The smile on the lips of this noblewoman of the Cang Sheng Sect finally faded when Chen Zhian looked at her and spoke to her again.

She took a deep breath, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her beautiful, fair face.

"Chen Zhian, have you noticed that I have already broken through the Jade Palace and even stepped into the Profound Tower?"

Meng Huali spoke softly.

Chen Zhian nodded.

Meng Huali was about to say something when she saw Chen Zhian turn his head to look at Ji Bai and Su Zhenxue!

"Senior brothers and sisters! I am fortunate to have some free time today, and I would like to learn from your sword energy."

Su Zhenxue and Ji Bai exchanged a glance.

Even before Yang Heyin left, they already knew of Chen Zhian's exceptional talent, but they had never actually fought against him.

Now that Chen Zhian has issued a challenge, they naturally want to see just how high the mountain peak where the fifth line of the Young Tiger Stele is located really is!
but……

If he were to join forces with others, Ji Bai, as a prince of the Kingdom of Lüding, was somewhat reluctant to lower himself and was still hesitant.

Instead, Su Zhenxue nodded slowly, gently stroking her palm, and the Lotus Blossom Sword appeared in her hand.

"Senior Brother Chen, please enlighten me."

As Su Zhenxue spoke, a jade lotus flower bloomed behind her, and a mysterious building was reflected in it, instantly blotting out the sky.

Su Zhenxue and Ji Bai were both from extraordinary backgrounds, but they didn't say much at the banquet.

Even Cheng Tianzhang and Princess Qixing couldn't see through the two's strength. They only knew that after the ranking was changed, Su Zhenxue ranked sixteenth on the Young Tiger Stele, and was a true powerhouse. In terms of combat strength, she was probably on par with Meng Huali.

When Ji Bai saw Su Zhenxue make her move, he didn't say much, but he didn't respond to Chen Zhian's challenge.

Seeing that Ji Bai was unwilling to make a move, Chen Zhian seemed to feel a little regretful and sighed softly.

Cheng Tianzhang's eyes darted around, and he suddenly laughed, "Mr. Chen, you just said that those few people were only at the peak of the Innate Realm and couldn't sense your strength... But Meng Huali and Su Zhenxue are Jade Palace figures, and have even stepped into the Profound Tower. They are also the prodigies on the Young Tiger Stele... But judging from your expression, you still seem to feel... that there aren't enough people?"

He turned to look at Princess Qixing after saying this.

Princess Qixing immediately understood and stood up as well.

In an instant, a chilling aura swept over, sharp and incomparable.

Then another long spear appeared from the void.

Princess Qixing gripped the spear with one hand, and her surging true energy instantly boiled and surged.

The people in the courtyard immediately changed color.

Princess Qixing ranked twenty-fourth on the Tiger Cub Stele, but she was a few years older than Meng Huali and Su Zhenxue.

In terms of talent, the Seven Star Princess may not be as good as these two.

However, if we simply consider cultivation level and combat strength, Princess Qixing is probably stronger than the two of them.

Chen Zhian's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face. He clasped his hands in greeting to the crowd, and suddenly soared into the sky, stepping into the clouds.

He stood in the clouds, looking down at the crowd, and said, "Gentlemen, please enlighten me!"

The wind howled, and the clouds and mist were shaken apart by some inexplicable force.

Everyone looked up at Chen Zhian... A few breaths passed.

Beside Yan Hemian, the Crane Cry Longsword suddenly appeared, its blade humming as it drew out three zhang of frost!
Li Guiwan's sword intent was intense, transforming into six sword wheels that alternated between reality and illusion!

Pei Nanshu raised his azure longsword.

Xie Beitu, with his one arm, was filled with surging blood energy, making him seem like a ferocious beast.

Each nature possesses a unique spirit.

But it was Su Zhenxue who made the first move.

But all I saw was her delicate eyebrows twitch slightly, and her palms pressed together!

The Lotus-Born Sword was surrounded by a lotus blossom, and nine sword energies suddenly appeared out of thin air. The sword energies intertwined in mid-air to form a clearer lotus shape, carrying the strange phenomenon of the Jade Palace Triple Mysterious Tower, and rushed straight up!

【The Nine Secrets of Lotus Blossoms!】

This divine power was infused with sword intent and terrifying true essence, fierce and unparalleled, as if it would engulf Chen Zhian in this lotus sword energy.

At the same time, Su Zhenxue transformed into a streak of light and went after her precious sword.

Chen Zhian stood in the void, with lightning flashing beneath his feet, as if the heavens and earth had shattered.

Upon witnessing such a profound and wondrous power, his eyes gleamed with brilliance. He took the first step of the Four Steps to Heaven, and his figure was already ten feet away.

The golden threads of the [Baxia Dragon Body] suddenly appeared on his body, and his fierce blood energy was like that of a real dragon!
After absorbing the spiritual energy of the dragon vein, his physical body became incredibly powerful. With a strong body and vigorous blood and qi, his supernatural power, the Baxia Dragon Body, also underwent a transformation, regenerating twenty-four hidden apertures.

Thirty-six hidden acupoints flowed with an endless stream of blood energy, making Chen Zhian's body shimmer with golden light, as if he were wearing a layer of scales.

The Purple Clarity Profound True Qi surged forth, and Chen Zhian unleashed a punch!
[Heaven-Devouring Fist!]

This punch was like a tidal wave, stirring up the wind and clouds. With a single punch, it shattered the lotus sword energy!

The expressions of the onlookers changed drastically.

Xie Minglei and Li Zhongning swallowed hard.

Even Zhou Chu, who was comprehending the sword soul, couldn't help but open his eyes!

"How can someone at the Innate Realm possess such powerful true essence and blood energy?"

The four figures from the six surnames of the Great Yu Dynasty are even more difficult to understand!

But since we are already determined to witness the formidable power of the fifth line of the Young Tiger Stele, there is no reason to back down now that things have come to this.

Pei Nanshu seized the fleeting moment, and his pale blue longsword instantly split into twelve, like twelve talismans, which stood in the void and connected to form a great sword energy array.

The formation then became like a net, aimed directly at Chen Zhi'an.

"The sword intent formation is not particularly profound."

Chen Zhian's understanding of the sword soul has broadened his horizons considerably, allowing him to see the flaws in the seemingly inescapable sword intent array with just a glance.

A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, and the Tiger Soul Blade at his waist was suddenly drawn.

The Azure Emperor's sword intent surged from the blade.

A tiger's roar echoed, and a chilling aura emanated from it. The sword formation crumbled where the blade flashed, and the remaining force cleaved a somewhat abrupt cloud in the distance in two!
Suddenly, another divine power surged from the clouds, a heaven-suppressing seal descending from the sky, true essence surging, and the strange phenomena of the Xuanlou appearing and disappearing.

Above it, a surging killing intent turned into gray mist, and the seal was wrapped with the unique gray mist of the Cang Sheng Sect—carrying an unimaginable surge of death energy!
This seal, once it falls, robs one of life force and destroys one's vital energy; it is a true killing technique. Meng Huali had already made his move at some unknown time.

She stood behind the cloud and mist mark, her gorgeous long dress flowing gracefully, her beauty unparalleled, like a fairy descending to earth, yet her methods were filled with evil!

"—The Life-Seizing Seal of the Cang Sheng Sect!" Cheng Tianzhang recognized this divine power, and a trace of fear and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

But Chen Zhian seemed utterly fearless. He turned his blade, not even aiming at the Life-Snatching Seal or Meng Huali. He unleashed his Mountain and River Blade Divine Power, his blade energy surging like a long river, completely engulfing the six sword lights of Li Guiwan that slashed out from below.

His spine spun out like a giant dragon suddenly springing open, while his left elbow swept horizontally.

[Baxia Hengshan]!
Baxia unleashed its dragon-body divine power, its blood energy surging, and its elbow slammed into a void behind it.

Click!

A ripple appeared in the void.

In the previously empty void, Xie Beitu was sent flying backward. His left hand, which contained terrifying power, seemed to be broken and hung limply. The intense pain distorted Xie Beitu's face as he fell to the ground!
Xie Minglei's pupils contracted, and he quickly used his true energy to catch Xie Beitu.

Just one hit!
Xie Beitu, who was ranked in the fiftieth place on the Young Tiger Stele, was defeated. His confidence and physical strength clashed with Chen Zhian, and he was easily defeated like a piece of paper.

Chen Zhian didn't even glance at Xie Beitu, letting the Life-Snatching Seal fall, and a bolt of lightning erupted from his body.

In an instant, he vanished from the spot like lightning.

The Life-Snatching Seal crashed down, but landed in empty space.

Meng Huali's expression changed. He looked around and saw a mountain peak collapsing not far away, with smoke and dust billowing everywhere.

Chen Zhian's figure disappeared into the smoke and dust.

"Where did you go?"

"It's that concealment technique! What kind of mysterious technique is this? It's impossible to find a trace of it?"

A golden light flashed in Su Zhenxue's mind, and she suddenly remembered a great divine power of her master...

"Could it be that cocoon of my dreams?"

Before she could think it through, another bolt of lightning flashed in the distance.

Chen Zhian appeared above a cloud of smoke and dust.

A sharp aura burst forth from the smoke and dust, and a long spear thrust straight forward like a dragon, gleaming with cold light, as if it wanted to swallow Chen Zhian's neck!

"Princess Seven Stars's spear technique has reached a state of perfection!"

Chen Zhian's divine essence resounded, and thirty-six strands of divine essence spread throughout the void!

Suddenly, a tiger's roar emanated from the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand, and golden scales resembling the body of a Baxia dragon appeared around him. His left hand formed a sword incantation, activating the Cloud River Sword. The Tiger Soul Blade and the Cloud River Sword erupted simultaneously, their blade intent and sword energy soaring wildly!
Sonorous!

When Rulong's spear intent clashed with Chen Zhian's saber intent and sword energy, a gap was torn open in the blink of an eye.

Princess Qixing's expression changed slightly. She put away her spear and disappeared back into the smoke and dust.

Just as Chen Zhi'an was about to give chase, Yan Heming's white crane suddenly let out a clear cry, and countless ice crystals condensed into three thousand sword feathers. Wherever the cold wave swept, the ground froze and cracked like a spider web. Chen Zhi'an's pupils contracted slightly, and he pushed his Lingye divine power to its limit, his figure transforming into a lightning afterimage.

The sword feather pierced through the illusory image and nailed into the figure, turning the clouds and mist within a radius of thirty feet into ice crystals.

"So fast...it's impossible to lock him down!"

"Why has Chen Zhian progressed so quickly?"

Back when the Young Tiger Monument was being re-listed, Yan Hemian had already fought against Chen Zhian, who was far less powerful at that time.

Just as Yan Hemian was astonished!
Chen Zhian appeared twenty or thirty feet behind him.

"The six clans of Da Yu must undergo reform, otherwise, once the Da Qian Xuanmen arrives, there will be no one among the younger generation who can be considered strong."

Chen Zhian's voice came leisurely.

Chen Zhian, whose true form appeared in mid-air, suddenly flicked his finger, and the phantom of the Sword Soul Beacon Tower appeared behind him. The killing intent from the ancient battlefield soared into the sky, shattering the ice crystal domain.

Yan Hemian groaned and stepped back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the white crane's feathers dimmed slightly.

Meanwhile, the terrifying beacon tower sword spirit continued to surge upwards with beacon fires, instantly slashing through the great banner divine power that Meng Huali had just condensed!
The banner blotted out the sky, yet hundreds of sword energies, like armored warriors, charged forward!

With a single charge, he repelled Meng Huali.

Li Guiwan gritted her teeth in the void. The sword wheel behind her transformed from six paths into twelve. The twelve streams of light spun continuously, but they did not attack Chen Zhian's body. Instead, they were mixed with supernatural killing techniques, trying to sweep away Chen Zhian's divine essence in the void.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Zhian's lips.

All thirty-six divine essences suddenly twisted together, manifesting the radiance of Nanliujing.

As the light shone down, Li Guiwan's twelve sword wheels shattered instantly, as if they had crashed into a ten-thousand-year-old black iron.

Li Guiwan groaned, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and fell to the ground.

Princess Qixing's spear came again, along with Su Zhenxue's precious sword.

The spear and the sword shone brightly together, leaving afterimages in the void.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of spear shadows filled the void, and lotus flowers bloomed, spreading across the heavens and earth.

Rumble!
A terrifying tremor followed.

The first to be hit was not Chen Zhian, but Pei Nanshu in the void.

Pei Nanshu was about to unleash his sword light when, unexpectedly, the Xuanlou realm was far too powerful. As hundreds of spear shadows and numerous lotus sword energies bloomed, the sword light he had condensed was instantly squeezed and shattered by these terrifying forces.

He had to step back, but then... he felt an awe-inspiring aura rising from his back.

Pei Nanshu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as a fleeting sword light descended, easily landing on his hair.

His long hair was cut off, and fine sword energy fell into his body, instantly damaging his vital energy gate and fetal palace.

He forced himself to circulate his true energy and fell to the ground.

In a very short time!

Four geniuses from the six families of the Great Yu Dynasty have fallen in defeat!
Chen Zhian, however, seems to still have energy to spare.

In a flash, the phantom of a beacon tower appeared around Chen Zhian. Sword energy clashed, creating blinding sparks. He used the momentum to turn and unleash his fourth, long-prepared strike. Layers of saber energy overlapped, causing the light and shadow of hundreds of swords and spears to flicker unpredictably. The Seven Star Princess retreated dozens of feet, her breathing unsteady.
"This is the fifth one on the Young Tiger Stele?" Meng Huali took a deep breath, suddenly bit her finger, and drew a strange rune on her forehead. Her aura surged, and she once again emitted bursts of gray mist.

The gray mist condensed into nine chains, and a hideous ghost face appeared at the end of each chain!

——Nine Netherworld Binding Immortal Chain
Chen Zhian's pupils contracted slightly. The Sword Soul Beacon Tower surged and rippled, unleashing the killing intent of the millennia-old battlefield. Hundreds of sword energies erupted from the beacon tower. The Ghost-Faced Chains collided with the battlefield sword energy, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal.

The fourth prince, Cheng Tianzhang, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but stand up, his pupils contracting.

Chen Zhian controlled the Beacon Tower Sword Soul, the Cloud River Sword flew into the void, and the Tiger Soul Blade continuously circulated the Azure Emperor Blade Intent, terrifying beyond measure!
Sword energy and saber intent swept across, colliding with hundreds of lotus flowers!

At the moment of impact, time seemed to freeze. The dazzling light temporarily blinded everyone, and when their vision returned, they saw Chen Zhian with his robes torn, but his figure still upright.

Su Zhenxue's lotus sword energy had dissipated, and Su Zhenxue had disappeared without a trace.

Chen Zhian unleashed the full power of his Four Steps to Heaven. His figure moved like a ghost, passing through Meng Huali's gray mist blockade. His sword flashed, and his long fist slammed out. A sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard. Meng Huali crashed onto a distant mountain peak like a rag doll, and the gray mist around him dissipated.

Princess Qixing's eyes were solemn, her spear appearing and disappearing like a ghost, its fierce light as bright as the sun.

"Your true energy should be exhausted by now!"

Princess Seven Stars pondered this.

Instead of retreating, Chen Zhian advanced, his Purple Pure Mysterious True Essence circulating wildly within his body.

He clasped his hands together in the air, and all the sword energy from the Sword Soul Beacon Tower was withdrawn, condensing into an ancient and simple battle sword.

This battle sword is like the treasured sword in the general's hand, seemingly ready to kill everything and slash down horizontally!

The moment the two forces collided, the ground within a radius of a hundred feet collapsed with a deafening roar.

A crisp cracking sound came from the smoke and dust.

Princess Seven Stars' spear intent shattered inch by inch, and the illusory dragon image completely dissipated.

Chen Zhian's sword shattered at the same time, but he already held the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand, condensing the Mountain and River Wandering Divine Power, and the tip of the blade was steadily stopped at the throat of the Seven Star Princess.

The place was deathly silent, save for the howling mountain wind.

"You flatter me." Chen Zhian sheathed his sword, his purple true essence flowing through him.

Cheng Tianzhang's throat bobbed. After this battle, when it comes to the title of the greatest genius of the Great Yu, there is only Chen Zhian.
