Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan had already planned this out;

His biggest advantage over Tong Han is his divine sense!

Especially after consuming the Ephemeral Flower Essence and entering the Golden Core stage, his divine sense became dozens of times stronger...

Although he had not learned any methods of mental attack, he was sure that he could catch Tong Han off guard by using the most primitive means of attack!

And indeed, things turned out exactly as he had predicted...

As his divine sense poured in, Chu Yuan felt as if he had crashed into a reef.

He sensed a completely different kind of soul aura... arrogance, hatred, and violence!

Although martial artists do not focus on cultivating their mental strength in the early stages, their mental strength will naturally grow stronger as their life essence improves.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any mental martial arts techniques.

Even more difficult to deal with the bizarre and other strange and unpredictable alien races!

To become a strong person, you can have relatively unremarkable aspects, but you absolutely cannot have any weaknesses...

Therefore, Tong Han's mental strength was not bad, and he did not become an idiot after being attacked by Chu Yuan.

However, it's unrealistic to try and block the divine sense of a Golden Core cultivator...

Chu Yuan endured the discomfort and continued to input his divine sense;

Some images flashed through his mind...

Tong Han's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and the metallic sheen on his fist had long since vanished!

He clutched his head with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, large beads of cold sweat streaming down his face... He could no longer maintain his balance and involuntarily plummeted toward the ground!

Psychological attack!

Chu Yuan actually possesses mental attack abilities?!

Isn't he just a martial artist in the Sky-Soaring Realm?

A martial artist at the Sky-Soaring Realm might not even be able to sense something with their own spiritual power, let alone master a martial art that uses spiritual attacks...

"Get lost!"

The spiritual energy belonging to Chu Yuan in his mind was shaken by the counterattack, but it surged back in the next moment!

Countless sharp wind blades surged toward Tong Han like swallows returning to their nests, repeatedly scraping and cutting his body!

Arms, thighs, chest... flesh and blood were torn apart, revealing the stark white bones...

But the next moment, countless crimson energies surged from within his body, continuously repairing it;

It was as if he was experiencing the torture of being slowly sliced ​​to death again and again...

Waves of excruciating pain surged through him. At this moment, Tong Han was only grateful that he had extracted a portion of Qiu's life essence earlier; otherwise... even if he wasn't dead now, he would probably be barely clinging to life.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment;

Tong Han had lost count of how many times he had been subjected to the torture of being slowly sliced ​​to death, until his body jolted and crashed onto the solid ground.

Another figure fell not far from him; it was Chu Yuan...

The Wind-Slaying Sword fell into his hand. Chu Yuan sensed the faint life force of Tong Han beside him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A throbbing pain shot through his head, and his consciousness could only be maintained within a few dozen meters of his body, feeling increasingly sluggish...

The level of achievement gained through forced growth cannot compare to that gained through proper cultivation.

He had reached his limit, but... he still couldn't kill Tong Han;

I still hesitated... I should have made my move as soon as Tong Han had taken control of Qiu. I shouldn't have let him absorb so much life essence!

But now, it's too late to say anything.

A Blood Pill and a Spirit Nourishing Pill appeared in his hand, which he swallowed together.

The medicinal effects spread, mending the body riddled with wounds;

It seemed like a gentle rain had fallen on the parched and cracked earth...

Chu Yuan barely managed to sit up, his hands forming a sword incantation, causing the wind to vibrate and him to float.

"disease!"

A beam of light, much smaller than before, shot towards Tong Han;

Tong Han adjusted his posture, letting the sword pierce his shoulder blade, then gripped the hilt and grinned: "That's it?"

Compared to the repeated tortures of being slowly sliced ​​to death before, this injury is nothing at all;

Pure life essence surged from Tong Han's body, and his aura slowly returned.

Tong Han pulled the Zhanfeng sword from his shoulder, examined it carefully for a moment, and then praised, "The sword is good... and you are good too."

I probably won't forget you for a long time, will I?

"You talk as if you've already won," Chu Yuan said calmly, his tone stubborn.

Only he knew that he truly had no other options left...

There is one more trump card than nothing: the self-destructing Blood Sea Soul-Locking Array.

But in his current state, self-destructing the formation would simply mean he and all the trial participants would die first...

"I did win." Tong Han smiled. "Li Hong, kill him!"

He staggered to his feet, picked up Chu Yuan's sword, and walked towards the four realm blood beasts outside the formation.

Li Hong walked over from a distance and stopped not far from Chu Yuan;

"It's such a waste that you have such talent."

"Since you feel it's a pity, why don't you leave?"

"..." Li Hong shook his head: "I don't want to die yet."

Otherwise, why would he surrender immediately after being captured by Tong Han?

"I believe there are many things in this world that are more important than life and death."

"Let's not waste any more time, Chu Yuan..." Li Hong sighed. "If it were a different time or place, I would be very happy to discuss these things with you."

He raised the sword in his hand;

"Do you know that I received orders from my family before entering the secret realm?"

If I had the chance, I would have gotten rid of you... Luckily, I've never liked listening to my family, otherwise I'd probably be dead by now...

"Is it because of Li Chen?"

"Yes, although you didn't kill him;"

But that foolish couple didn't have the ability to retaliate against the real culprit... so naturally they could only take their anger out on you.

Chu Yuan seemed completely unconcerned about the menacing glint of the sword in Li Hong's hand: "And what about Li Ji?"

"He was highly regarded by his family and deeply loved by his great-grandfather... so naturally, he wasn't allowed to have any trivial matters hinder his cultivation." A self-deprecating smile appeared on Li Hong's face: "So, in fact, there was no conflict between you two."

"Sigh, it sounds like your Li family is pretty scoundrels."

Li Hong nodded, deeply agreeing: "Indeed... Let's get going, Chu Yuan."

The battle blade left a gruesome mark as it slashed towards Chu Yuan's neck!

"I have one more thing to say..." Chu Yuan looked towards the secret realm passage and smiled, "Actually, stalling for time is useful..."

"Huh?" Li Hong was taken aback, then realized something, and his long sword moved even faster!

But in the next instant...

An unimaginable pressure, seemingly emanating from the very soul, assailed me!

The blade stopped, and Li Hong was struck as if by a heavy blow, collapsing to his knees with a thud...

Chu Yuan raised his hand to help him up and said with a smile, "Good child, there's no red envelope for you today, get up quickly."

Li Hong clenched his teeth, and his bones cracked as if they were about to be crushed!

He had no energy left to respond to Chu Yuan's teasing; immense fear filled his heart...

Chu Yuan asked in confusion, "Actually, shouldn't your best option be to stop?"

Then you can explain that you were only forced to play along with Tong Han... maybe that will help you get away with it?

"You've only been a traitor for two days, and you're already addicted?"

"What do you know..." Li Hong's voice was barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz: "Do you think... Tong Han only made such a big fuss for you guys?!"

You think too highly of yourself...

"Finally here... the Eighth Realm?" Tong Han seemed completely unsurprised, removing his hand from the shriveled blood beast and grinning, "Not bad, not a complete loss..."
