Chapter 217 The Demonic Sect's Dark Empress, Not Bad!
Wang Gan's nonchalant tone clearly indicated that he was a master of stirring up trouble.
This made Wanwan feel extremely complicated and fearful. If Bai Qing'er really gained power, her position in the Demonic Sect would probably be in a very awkward position.

Bai Qing'er leaned towards Wang Gan, half-kneeling on the ground, submitting herself completely.

"The Holy Emperor is right. Qing'er was reckless."

"However, Qing'er really can't stand her aloof attitude. She's clearly clinging to her identity as a member of the Yin Gui Sect and doesn't acknowledge you, the Holy Emperor of the Holy Sect!"

Wang Gan remained calm and did not speak. Instead, he looked into the distance.
Suddenly, a woman appeared, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, her face hidden deep within a heavy veil.

The woman was tall and slender with a graceful figure. Her hair was styled in a high bun and was as black as ink. Even though her face could not be seen, one could still feel her imposing elegance.

Her graceful posture alone was captivating, exuding a subtle yet alluring charm.

Bai Qing'er and Wanwan's expressions changed simultaneously. They knew this woman, and had known her since childhood.

This woman, who doesn't appear alluring but rather holy and elegant, is none other than the infamous and powerful Yin Gui Sect Master, the "Yin Empress" Zhu Yuyan!

"Master!"

Wanwan quickly bowed, while Bai Qing'er hesitated for a moment before staying by Wang Gan's side.

"Bai Qing'er, you've only been away from me for a few days, and your skills have improved so much, and you've become too independent?"

Zhu Yuyan spoke softly, her voice clearly that of a young girl, gentle and melodious, but to those around her, it felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave and their spines had turned cold!
Even Bai Qing'er, who had switched to cultivating the Longevity Technique, was no exception. The Empress Yin held a heavy sway over her, and it was not something that could be resolved in a day or two.

"You say Wanwan still holds onto her identity as a member of the Yin Gui Sect, but what about you, Bai Qing'er?"

Empress Zhu Yuyan looked at Bai Qing'er with eyes as calm as a deep pool, without a trace of anger.

But in that instant, the surrounding air became heavy, and everything within a three-zhang radius stopped flowing. Bai Qing'er trembled in fear, and cold sweat instantly soaked her entire body!
In just a moment, Zhu Yuyan displayed her unfathomable and profound Heavenly Demon Art cultivation. Within a three-zhang radius of the Heavenly Demon Force Field, even a Grandmaster could stand against her!
At this moment, Wang Gan spoke, his tone light and airy, yet like a hot knife, subtly dispersing the stagnant air.
Bai Qing'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief only after Wang Gan spoke.

"I am very pleased that the Queen of the Underworld has come to see me in person,"

Wang Gan sighed.

"But I don't like the tone of your voice when you speak to my maid."

Clearly, Zhu Yuyan was not targeting Bai Qing'er, but rather Wang Gan, the Holy Emperor.

Perhaps to ordinary people, Wang Gan's reputation and achievements are already terrifying enough, but for Zhu Yuyan, a seasoned veteran, she only trusts what she sees.

Unless you completely subdue her, any so-called submission or submission is just a test to observe your weaknesses and exploitability.

Clearly, by publicly humiliating Wang Gan, Zhu Yuyan was testing just how capable this seemingly out-of-the-way 'Holy Emperor' really was!
Zhu Yuyan also sized up this rising 'Holy Emperor'.
But Wang Gan spoke again, his tone cold.

"so."

"I am very angry, and the consequences will be severe!"

As soon as he finished speaking...
boom!
It wasn't a gas explosion, it was a sonic boom that opened up!

Like a strong wind breaking through the waves, or a dragon emerging from the sea, beneath layers of air waves, Wang Gan's mouth split open, and a palm strike carrying the power of a dragon and an elephant came without warning!
Empress Yin was, after all, the greatest female martial arts master of her time, her skill and adaptability reaching an unbelievable level.

Zhu Yuyan's expression changed slightly. Facing Wang Gan's sudden and overwhelming attack, she did not retreat but advanced, taking a half-step forward, and a thunderclap resounded in the air!
An invisible force field, like a raging torrent, crashed down upon us!

Wherever the invisible force field passed, the ground cracked and split, trees snapped and broke, and even the surrounding rocks were blown away in pieces, revealing huge holes. Even air and water droplets were repelled by the invisible force field!
Heavenly Demon Force Field!

To be precise, it was a demonic force field containing Zhu Yuyan's decades of accumulated power. Although Zhu Yuyan had been unable to cross the highest eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Art due to the loss of her primordial yin, the accumulation of power over decades had almost led to a qualitative change. Even against a Grandmaster, Zhu Yuyan would not lack the strength to fight.

Even a grandmaster like Ning Daoqi, who is not skilled in combat, would find it difficult to kill this long-standing demon without paying a heavy price.

This is also the reliance that allowed Yin Hou to suppress the Demon Sect and dominate the martial arts world for so many years.
According to the ranking of masters in the Tang Dynasty, before the Twin Dragons grew up, Zhu Yuyan was enough to be ranked among the top six, or even the top five!
Before Shi Zhixuan completely resolved his schizophrenia, Empress Yin was always the number one figure in the Demonic Sect. So how could she possibly accept a Holy Emperor like Wang Gan who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?!
Bai Qing'er and Wanwan's previous attempts to seduce each other were probably just tests.

But this time, Empress Yin misjudged the situation; Wang Gan hadn't come to negotiate the division of spoils.
Instead, they came to completely conquer the demonic sect and conquer the world!
boom!
Powerful! Powerful! Dominant! Absolutely amazing!
This time, Wang Gan did not use any martial arts skills. Instead, he unleashed his power without any restraint. There were no techniques or divine skills, only strong and powerful physical strength!

The power of the dragon and the elephant combined with the abundant true energy into one, transforming into a world-shaking strike that unleashed white waves and sonic booms!
It was clearly meant to blast everything in front of it to smithereens!
Bang bang bang!
A series of explosions rang out in the air, accompanied by a change in the expression of Empress Zhu Yuyan, for these were the sounds of the Heavenly Demon Force Field, a sign that the Heavenly Demon Force Field was collapsing!

This person actually blasted open her demonic energy field with pure cultivation power?!
Such a terrifying physical body and internal energy... Could this person have started practicing martial arts from the womb?
To Zhu Yuyan's horrified gaze, Wang Gan's palm strike tore through her Heavenly Demon Force Field inch by inch, slamming into her chest with unstoppable force.
However, Empress Yin was no ordinary person. If it weren't for Shi Zhixuan, Zhu Yuyan would have already reached the Grandmaster level with her talent. Her foundation and true qi cultivation were no less than those of a Grandmaster!
Seeing Zhu Yuyan on the verge of death, she suddenly raised her long sleeve, and from the sleeve emerged a jade hand, more beautiful than snow and frost, of extraordinary beauty.
As her slender fingers flicked, they made a variety of complex and incomprehensible hand gestures, as if forming hand seals. The Heavenly Demon Force, compressed to its extreme, wrapped around her fingertips, transforming into a sword finger that pierced towards Wang Gan's vitals!
Trade injury for injury!

Zhu Yuyan's ability to develop a move like "mutual destruction" clearly demonstrates her willingness to fight to the death and perish together with her opponent!
Faced with an attack capable of killing a Grandmaster, Wang Gan casually ignored it, letting the tricky Heavenly Demon Qi strike his body as if it were a gentle breeze.

Zhu Yuyan, however, was struck squarely by Wang Gan's palm strike, coughing up half a liter of blood and flying ten zhang away in mid-air, still unable to stop!
"master!"

Wanwan's eyes widened. Such a lightning-fast exchange of blows left even her unable to react. She only had time to fly over and catch Zhu Yuyan.

The moment Wanwan touched Zhu Yuyan, she felt an immense force indirectly transmitted to her, almost causing her to lose her grip. Wanwan hurriedly activated her Heavenly Demon Force Field to barely neutralize this terrifying force.

"This"

Wanwan was shocked. If catching her master was this difficult, how exaggerated must the power of Wang Gan's attack be?!

Upon realizing this, Wanwan quickly looked at Zhu Yuyan in her arms, only to see that Zhu Yuyan ignored her completely, instead staring intently at Wang Gan in the distance.
In the previous unbridled exchange, Wang Gan's upper body clothing had been torn to shreds by the shockwave. On his exposed, muscular body, a bluish-purple shadow, entwined with wisps of demonic energy, had somehow clung to his left rib, casting a shadow over his golden-jade-like flesh.

Heavenly Demon True Qi!

The saying that the Heavenly Demon True Qi is like a bone-deep infection is not just an empty phrase, but a consensus among all those who have fought against the Yin Gui Sect!
Even a genius like Lu Miaozi was severely injured by Zhu Yuyan's underhanded tactics and was tormented for the rest of his life. He died without being able to resolve the problem of the Heavenly Demon True Qi entangled within his body, which shows how terrifying Zhu Yuyan's Heavenly Demon True Qi was.

After severely injuring Lu Miaozi, Zhu Yuyan went through several decades, and her Heavenly Demon True Qi became even more terrifying. She was confident that even if the three Grandmasters were facing her, they would have to admit that her attack was troublesome.

Not to mention, Wang Gan didn't even have time to defend himself. After taking the blow head-on, his meridians and internal organs have probably been completely eroded by the Heavenly Demon True Qi!
Indeed, even if Wang Gan's external martial arts were as fine as gold and jade, without any flaws or defects, he wouldn't dare say he would be completely unharmed in the face of Empress Yin's all-out attack.

But Wang Gan remained calm and simply took a deep breath.

To be precise, it's 'Qi'!
A wisp of almost tangible Qi of heaven and earth was inhaled by Wang Gan and transformed into layers of white mist, entering his body. In an instant, it transformed into pure and genuine Yuan Jing power, rapidly healing the injuries in his body, clearing away foreign objects, and even making his body stronger than before he was injured!
The art of stealing the sky and changing the sun!

This Wang Gan has gathered many top-notch divine skills and created his own techniques. Although there is some element of combining good skills, each one is still an absolute mastery.

Especially in terms of healing and self-regeneration, it combines two major self-healing techniques, the "Sun Changing Technique" and the "Longevity Formula," which can almost allow Wang Gan to achieve the state of healing through battle and rapidly self-regenerating during combat!

In the short span of almost a breath, the dark parts of Wang Gan's body were gradually worn away, and he was transformed back into a flawless golden color.

"The Demonic Sect's Empress is indeed cunning."

Wang Gan nodded with a calm and composed expression, as if he had never fought a world-shaking battle.

"The Heavenly Demon True Qi accumulated over decades is the most I have ever seen in my life."

In terms of combat strength, Empress Zhu Yuyan is undoubtedly the strongest fighter Wang Gan has ever encountered. Even Shi Zhixuan, before his schizophrenia was cured, would be slightly inferior in a head-on battle.

Even the most skilled grandmaster in combat wouldn't dare say he could defeat Zhu Yuyan without injury; in fact, if she were to launch a counterattack while on the verge of death, his life would likely be in danger.
