I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

The Ice Soul Sword was too fierce and domineering, so Chu Yang did not choose to withstand it head-on.

The use of "Extreme Yang Fury" had already greatly depleted his energy.

But he did not give up on his goal, and his steps were strange, turning into three afterimages.

"A trivial skill!"

Zhong Yanran let out a delicate shout and unleashed three sword energies.

"Bang bang bang—!"

The sword energy slashed through the afterimages, but it was all in vain.

Chu Yang had already firmly grasped Guo Zhenyue's Qi Sea with his five fingers.

Seeing this, Zhong Yanran dared not make any further move. "You... let him go!"

Chu Yang ignored him completely and shouted towards the outside of the wall, "Xiao Man!"

Before he finished speaking, a thick, dark green mist shot straight toward Chu Yang.

Once Lin Xiaoman had settled down, Chu Yang used his body to block the view of the Xuan Yun Sect members and directly sent the separated essence into Lin Xiaoman's dantian.

His movements were swift, and Lin Xiaoman showed no unusual behavior whatsoever, her expression remaining blank, to the point that even Zhong Yanran couldn't discern the reason.

Zhong Hui felt Guo Zhenyue's aura suddenly plummet to rock bottom.

"What...did you do?"

Chu Yang ignored her, a clear light flashing in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhenyue actually cultivated a Fire Essence Pill full of yang energy. Although it was only in its embryonic form and only the size of a soybean, it was still quite remarkable.

For Chu Yang, who possesses the Extreme Yang Body, the Fire Essence Pill cannot enhance his martial arts cultivation, but it can replenish the energy he consumed when using "Extreme Yang Fury Flame".

It's like God is scrambling to feed us; whatever we wish for comes true.

I was just wondering if facing the Seven Star Sword Formation later would be a bit troublesome, since I can't fight at full strength right now.

He stood calmly with his hands behind his back, holding the Fire Essence Pill in his palm.

Just as he was about to absorb the Fire Essence Pill, he felt a questioning gaze fixed on him.

"Xiaoman, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Xiaoman looked somewhat bewildered: "Um... um..."

She seemed to have thought of something, but looked unsure.

Chu Yang sighed.

There's no way around it; it's just like raising a child.

As children grow up and their intelligence improves, they inevitably develop more ideas.

At this moment, he planned to take advantage of Zhong Yanran's hesitation to absorb the Fire Essence Pill as soon as possible.

"Brother Yang!"

A melodious, bell-like sound broke through the oppressive atmosphere.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

That was Lü Sisi's voice, but why was this girl here?

What alarmed him even more was that Lü Sisi appeared from the doorway, very close to the people from the Xuan Yun Sect.

He quickly suppressed his panic and glared at Lü Sisi, annoyed. "I just owe you a little money, is it worth following me all the way here? I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow! Now get lost!"

When Lü Sisi arrived and saw Chu Yang, she was so excited that she couldn't help but shout it out.

Now she realizes something is wrong; it seems she arrived at the wrong time.

"Ah... okay, then... you must pay me back tomorrow."

She turned and left after she finished speaking.

"Whoosh—!"

A figure appeared before her, his flowing, wide-sleeved dress fluttering even without wind, his eyes filled with a cold, sharp look.

"Heh, you guys are working together pretty well. Did you think you could fool me like that?"

Lu Sisi was terrified and tried to escape, but she was bound by a cold aura and could not move.

"Sister, what did you say? I don't understand."

Lu Sisi tried her best to calm herself down.

Zhong Yanran chuckled and said, "You immature girl, you lie without batting an eye. No wonder you and that rascal Chu Yang are so in sync."

She immediately silenced Lü Sisi by sealing her acupoints, then turned to look at Chu Yang.

"Since you don't get along with her, I'll kill her for you."

Chu Yang sighed, "Alright, alright, let's switch. Two of me for one of her, is that alright?"

To deny it now would be tantamount to deceiving oneself, so Chu Yang simply laid his cards on the table.

Having regained the initiative, Zhong Yanran's pretty face lit up with a smug look.

"Fine! But I want her to experience what you did to my senior brother and nephew too."

"don't want!"

Chu Yang raised both hands.

"You win! But she's innocent. Release her, and name your terms."

Zhong Yanran smiled with great interest, her lips curving into a beautiful smile.

"Fine! You'll cripple yourself, then kneel down and admit your mistake. Can you do that?"

Although Lü Sisi cannot speak, she can hear.

She shook her head vigorously, her eyes filled with tears of guilt.

Chu Yang replied decisively, "No problem! But you mustn't kill anyone else today besides me, okay?"

"Can!"

Zhong Yanran didn't believe Chu Yang could cripple his own martial arts at all, and nodded without hesitation.

"Master! No!" Li Heihu was so frightened that his heart trembled violently.

Chu Yang ignored him and directly reversed his meridians. His skin turned red, and the veins on his face bulged and swelled like earthworms, as if they were about to burst at any moment.

Stop with your hypocrisy.

Zhong Yanran gave a disdainful "tsk".

"Knowing full well that my Xuan Yun Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect that can subdue people with martial arts, we would never do anything to coerce someone into crippling their own martial arts. Now, let's exchange hostages and then have a fight."

Chu Yang stopped, his skin stained red with blood.

"Heh, you're not much better. Taking advantage of my meridians being reversed and my power temporarily unable to recover, you want to fight me now."

If a martial artist's meridians are reversed for too long, it will cause irreversible damage.

Although Chu Yang's reversal didn't last long, it was like a high-speed train that needed a period of buffer time to stop and reverse.

Even if he doesn't lose all his skills, his abilities will be greatly diminished.

Zhong Yanran sneered, "So, I'm asking you, do you dare or not?"

Chu Yang showed no fear, raising his head and saying, "What is there to be afraid of?"

He picked up the two people on the ground and threw them over.

The Xuan Yun Sect disciples quickly and steadily caught it.

Zhong Yanran also reached out her slender hand and grabbed Lü Sisi's arm: "Let's go!"

Just as she was about to exert her strength, she suddenly felt her true energy draining away.

Lü Sisi did not do it intentionally.

When she saw that Chu Yang was willing to give up martial arts and dignity for her sake, her heart was torn apart.

Suddenly touched by Zhong Yanran, she instinctively triggered the skill of the Withered Yin Body to devour true energy.

"Witch! You've actually practiced evil arts! You must not be allowed to live!"

In her haste, Zhong Yanran unleashed a palm strike of ice, which struck Lü Sisi squarely in the back.

Lu Sisi's slender body floated in the air like a kite with a broken string, constantly spitting out red ice crystals.

That was the Frost Palm that froze some of her blood into ice.

Chu Yang quickly stepped forward, opened his arms, and caught Lü Sisi in his embrace, immediately releasing her acupoints.

"Brother Yang, I'm...I'm sorry, it's all my fault...I've dragged you into this."

Lu Sisi's entire body was almost frozen, even her long eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost, and you could hear her teeth chattering when she spoke.

"Such a strong chill! Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."

Even Chu Yang's extremely yang body felt a chill that penetrated to his very bones.

Lu Sisi shivered uncontrollably: "I...I'm so...cold...Brother Yang, hold me tight..."

Zhong Yanran said coldly, "It's no use! If you hadn't reversed her meridians, you might still be able to save her. But now, you can only watch helplessly as she dies before your eyes. And this is all the demoness's own fault!"

Chu Yang gave Zhong Yanran a thumbs-up, then immediately turned it upside down.

"You respectable sects love to find excuses for yourselves. No matter what you do, you have to put it in the name of justice! Even killing an unarmed girl requires you to first stigmatize her!"
