I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

It was as if two meteors had collided head-on! A deafening roar instantly echoed throughout the entire blood-red battlefield! An extremely violent energy storm exploded in a ring shape centered on the point of impact! Several feet of ground were scraped away, and countless nearby skeletons and weak battle spirits were instantly torn apart! Even the defensive barrier set up by Mu Changchun and his two companions a hundred feet away shook violently, rippling outwards!

At the center of the collision, the dark red sword aura and the pale silver fist aura clashed and annihilated each other! Qin Yuan's fist aura was ultimately slightly inferior in terms of pure energy level, and was crushed and dissipated inch by inch by the Void Refinement level sword aura! However, that terrifying sword aura was also weakened by more than 30% of its power by this punch, and its momentum was blocked!

The remaining sword energy, still carrying an aura of destruction, slashed towards Qin Yuan!

Qin Yuan's eyes flashed, and his left hand transformed from a palm into a blade, carrying condensed Xuan Yuan spiritual power and starlight, slashing diagonally towards the side of the sword aura!

"Mysterious Origin Breaks Evil, Slash!"

The palm strike was as swift as lightning, precisely striking a weak point in the flow of sword energy!

"Sizzle!"

The remaining sword energy was split in two, turning into two scattered streams of energy that swept past Qin Yuan and shattered a small mountain of bones not far behind him!

Qin Yuan swayed slightly, a tingling numbness spreading through his arm, his chest heaving with blood and qi. Taking a direct hit from a Void Refinement strike, even a weakened one, had still left him shaken. But his fighting spirit burned even brighter!

The War Soul Commander seemed somewhat surprised. This tiny human before him could actually withstand one of his sword strikes head-on without retreating? The dark golden soul flame flickered, and it raised its greatsword once more. This time, the sword strikes were faster and more swift, like a raging storm, relentlessly slashing towards Qin Yuan! Each strike was powerful and heavy, containing the might to split mountains and shatter rocks. The sword energy crisscrossed, sealing off all of Qin Yuan's escape routes!

At the same time, the four deputy generals at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage also moved! They did not rush forward to attack, but instead lined up in four directions, pointing their broken weapons at Qin Yuan, and letting out silent roars! Four powerful waves of baleful energy rose up, intertwining and merging in mid-air, transforming into a dark red, ever-shrinking baleful energy cage that enveloped the battle area between Qin Yuan and the battle spirit commanders!

Inside the cage, the concentration of malevolent energy surged, the suppression of fighting spirit intensified, and even the circulation of spiritual energy became difficult, as if one were trapped in a quagmire! Furthermore, waves of invisible spiritual impact, filled with resentment and killing intent, surged into Qin Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness like a tide!

This is a coordinated battle formation! These five battle spirits were clearly generals of the same army in life, and after death, they became battle spirits, still retaining their fighting instincts and tacit understanding from their lives!

The pressure has increased dramatically!

Surrounded by the murderous aura, Qin Yuan faced the increasingly ferocious swordplay of the War Soul Commander and its all-pervasive mental attacks, yet his eyes remained as calm as ice. He no longer met each sword strike head-on; his movements became elusive. He maximized the powerful physique and agility granted by the "Undying Body of the Universe Stars," combining them with exquisite footwork to daringly weave and dodge through the gaps in the sword energy.

At the same time, with his hands, whether fists, palms, fingers, or claws, he constantly pointed, deflected, guided, and led, skillfully deflecting and redirecting those heavy sword energies that were enough to split mountains! This was precisely the profound mystery of the application of power and the ability to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces of force in the understanding of power!

"Clang!" "Boom!" "Swoosh!"

The sounds of metal clashing, energy explosions, and the whistling of qi tearing through the air filled the air! Qin Yuan was like a petrel darting through a storm, seemingly in grave danger, yet always managing to escape unscathed. His figure appeared and disappeared amidst the swirling sword qi and dark red aura, each strike precise, concise, and effective, perfectly combining his strength and combat skills.

The War Soul Commander, unable to break through after a prolonged assault, seemed enraged. It abruptly stopped, its greatsword held upright before it, dark golden soul fire surging wildly into the blade! An even more terrifying, destructive aura, seemingly capable of annihilating all life, began to gather!

Qin Yuan's heart tightened, knowing that his opponent was about to unleash an even stronger killing move. How could he give his opponent a chance to calmly gather their strength?

"Now!"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and the first level of the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" within his body was activated once more! This time, he burned a full century's worth of stored cultivation! His aura surged instantly, and his strength, speed, and reaction speed were all enhanced! There was even a faint dark red blood aura swirling around his body!

His figure transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, instantly breaking through the sword aura's blockade and closing in on the War Soul Commander! Just as the opponent's greatsword was about to strike, he used both hands simultaneously. His left hand gripped the opponent's right wrist, which was holding the sword, while his right hand, with its five fingers joined together like a sharp short sword, fiercely stabbed into a tiny crack in the dark gold armor between the opponent's chest and abdomen!

"Cut it off!"

With his left hand exerting force, he tried to stop the giant sword from falling, while at the same time, his right hand, with the sword-like finger, carrying the evil-dispelling charm of the "Mysterious Origin Demon-Slaying Finger" and the power of the stars and bones, fiercely pierced into the crack in the armor!

"Ding! Poof!"

An irresistible force came from his left hand. The War Soul Commander's arm was as steady as a rock, and the force of the shock caused Qin Yuan's left hand to crack! But the finger sword in his right hand successfully pierced through the armor and entered the War Soul Commander's body, which was composed of dense baleful energy and remnant soul!

"roar--!!!"

The War Soul Commander let out a soul-wrenching howl of extreme pain! The dark golden soul fire fluctuated violently at the point where it was stabbed in the chest and abdomen, and fine cracks spread outward from the point of piercing! The Xuan Yuan Destruction Power and Star Power contained in Qin Yuan's finger sword raged and destroyed its body of evil energy like a deadly poison!

It no longer cared about gathering its strength for a strike; it clenched its empty left fist and, with immense force, slammed it down on Qin Yuan's head!

Qin Yuan landed a successful blow and immediately retreated, narrowly avoiding the powerful punch that could have shattered a mountain. But the gust of wind from the punch still stung his cheek.

Retreating several feet, Qin Yuan steadied himself. His left hand was dripping with blood, and his right fingertips burned with pain—the result of being eroded by the opponent's pure baleful energy. But his eyes shone brightly, his fighting spirit soaring. His opponent was injured!

Around the small hole pierced in the chest and abdomen of the War Soul Commander, dark golden soul fire kept trying to repair it, but it was hindered by the remaining Xuan Yuan and star power, so the repair was extremely slow, and its aura fluctuated and decreased slightly as a result.

"It works!" Qin Yuan's spirits lifted. The Void Refinement Battle Soul was powerful, but not invincible! As long as a weakness was found and sustained damage was inflicted, it could be worn down and defeated!

He held nothing back, unleashing the power from burning his cultivation to its limit, and lunged forward once more! This time, he no longer clashed head-on with his opponent's strength, but instead utilized his speed and agility, like a persistent leech, constantly circling and launching surprise attacks around the massive body of the Battle Soul Commander! Fists, palms, fingers, elbows, knees, legs—his entire body became a weapon, each attack precisely striking the opponent's weak points such as cracks in the armor and joint connections!

The War Soul Commander was enraged, swinging its greatsword like a windmill, a dark red sword aura enveloping its body, yet it was impossible to catch Qin Yuan's ghostly figure. More and more wounds appeared on its body; although none were fatal, their accumulation began to slow its movements, and its aura weakened further.

Upon seeing this, the four deputy generals' battle spirits on the outer perimeter flared violently with their soul fires, seemingly wanting to rush forward to provide support, but they remained immobilized, bound by their baleful aura cages. One of the deputy generals suddenly hurled his spear, which transformed into a dark red streak of light, piercing straight towards Qin Yuan's back!
