Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

"Is this the power of the ninth level of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm?" Xia Jin looked at Xiao Fubai, the sect leader of the Wusheng Sect, in the distance. The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she began to look solemn.

Qiu Changtian, the sect leader of the Yuheng Sect, who was facing the punch head-on, also narrowed his eyes.

Although he had always looked down on the Wusheng Sect members who only knew how to hone their physical bodies, he had to admit that the Wusheng Sect leader Xiao Fubai was definitely an anomaly!

He was nearly a hundred years younger than me, yet he had cultivated to such a level of effortless mastery and unparalleled strength!

In terms of strength, the opponent is indeed superior to himself.

However, in the path of martial arts, victory or defeat cannot be determined solely by the strength of one's physical abilities.

In terms of movement and speed, I am absolutely able to crush my opponent.

Therefore, Qiu Changtian didn't take Xiao Fubai's domineering punch too seriously, and his figure suddenly became illusory.

In an instant, six afterimages appeared simultaneously, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake!

"Xiao Fubai, no matter how strong you are, what use is it if you can't touch me? You're just wasting your energy!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Fubai's lips curled up slightly.

Having fought Qiu Changtian multiple times, how could he not know his opponent's moves?

His punch, though undiminished, suddenly changed direction just before it touched a blur. The punch abruptly turned and slammed into the bluestone ground between the two of them!

"BOOM!!"

The ground shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over!

Centered on the point where the fist landed, large slabs of hard bluestone were shattered by the violent force, turning into countless fragments of varying sizes that shot out indiscriminately in all directions!

Puff puff puff puff—

Several afterimages were pierced by the rubble and vanished instantly.

Only one of them, when the flying pebbles were about three feet away from him, seemed to hit an invisible wall of energy and were blocked by a pale blue aura.

"Old man, found you!" Xiao Fubai grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He pressed his advantage relentlessly. The instant his right fist was withdrawn, his left hand, with its five fingers curled up, slashed down at Qiu Changtian's head with astonishing speed!

Before the claw wind even arrived, several cracks several meters long had already appeared in the ground behind Qiu Changtian.

"Hmph! So what if you find my true form? In my eyes, your speed is still too slow!" Qiu Changtian sneered, and prepared to retreat again.

However, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and a sense of threat rose up in his heart.

Danger!

Almost instinctively, Qiu Changtian forcibly turned his body, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a red light shining behind him!

What is that?!

Qiu Changtian suddenly frowned! But his years of intuition told him that it was best to avoid it, otherwise there would be big trouble.

"Trying to hide?!"

Although Xiao Fubai on the other side was also surprised by the sudden appearance of the red light and did not understand who made the move, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

He transformed his claws into fists, and the force of his fists drew upon the energy around him, instantly creating a high-speed rotating vortex with terrifying suction power in front of his fists!

"Stay here, you bastard!"

Xiao Fubai roared and, from several meters away, suddenly "pulled" at Qiu Changtian with his fist!

Qiu Changtian had only retreated less than three meters when he suddenly stopped, as if he had fallen into an invisible quagmire! The pulling force was extremely domineering, and although with his cultivation level, he could have broken free in just half a breath!

Half a breath! That's enough!

The red light entered Qiu Changtian's body directly.

There was no earth-shattering noise, no horrific scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Qiu Changtian felt as if his brain had been struck hard by an invisible hammer! His consciousness went blank!

His eyes instantly lost focus, and he froze on the spot like a wooden sculpture!

Xiao Fubai was also taken aback. What's wrong with that old guy Qiu Changtian?

"Hurry up and do it!"

A detached voice rang out.

Xiao Fubai snapped out of his daze, a sinister smile spreading across his face. Who cares? If he didn't seize this golden opportunity, he'd regret it to death later!

"Old devil Qiu! Prepare to die!"

He punched Qiu Changtian in the chest!

The distance was only an inch!

Qiu Changtian finally woke up!

Dodge? It was too late! The fist had completely locked onto him, and under the pull of his energy, there was no way to avoid it!

"Damn it! Who's been plotting against me in the shadows?!"

Qiu Changtian let out a beast-like roar. At the last moment, he could only rely on instinct. His powerful azure true energy surged out wildly, trying to protect his chest. At the same time, he reached out with both hands to grab Xiao Fubai's arm, trying to reduce the opponent's power.

But it was too late. Qiu Changtian felt as if he had grabbed onto a mountain of divine iron that was rushing towards him at high speed, and he couldn't stop it in the slightest!

The next moment, Xiao Fubai's punch, which contained all his strength, slammed solidly into the center of Qiu Changtian's chest!

"Boom!!!!"

With a deafening roar, a visible shockwave exploded outwards in a ring around the two men, clearing away and crushing all the ruins and debris within a radius of dozens of feet into dust!

Qiu Changtian coughed up blood, some of it even containing fragments of his internal organs! He was sent flying backward at high speed!

Boom! Boom boom boom!

His body slid wildly along the broken street, carving out a trench half a meter wide and several feet deep!

It glided for hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop.

The streets were deathly silent.

"Hahahaha! Old ghost, you never thought you'd fall into my hands one day!" Xiao Fubai laughed, walking forward step by step.

Although Qiu Changtian, who had also reached the ninth level of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, could not be killed by his own punch, his full-force punch had indeed struck the opponent's vital point.

The opponent is not dead, but must be seriously injured.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Xia Jin, wearing a mask, had bloodshot eyes!

He directly used the Demon Heart Crossing technique and unleashed the final strike of the Avici Path Three Swords, "Hell Break," with all his might, though it made him feel somewhat strained!

But Qiu Changtian, who was sent flying backwards, had a smile on his face.

His figure transformed into a streak of black light, rushing directly towards the ruins.

Today, Qiu Changtian is doomed to die!

......

Qiu Changtian slowly stood up from the ruins, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

"I actually... got tricked!" He was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. He had been a powerful figure in the Northern Hebei region for many years, and he had never suffered such a loss before.

"But you want my life! Hmph... not so easy!" A ruthless glint flashed in Qiu Changtian's eyes.

He raised his left hand, and a black pill the size of a longan appeared in his palm.

As Xiao Fubai approached with a smile on his face, he abruptly stopped in his tracks the moment he saw the black pill. His smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression.

"The 'Life-Burning Pill'?! Old ghost! It seems you really want to fight me to the death!" Xiao Fubai frowned, his voice tinged with fear.
