From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Bang~!

With a muffled thud, a large amount of blood and qi suddenly exploded.

Although it couldn't break through Jia Shun's beast claws, the powerful impact caused its body to suddenly stop.

He had fought Jia Shun before, and although he was defeated and fled in disarray, he did gain something from the experience.

Whether attacking with the blade itself or with the invisible blade extended by the burst of energy, the power is the same. The blade, forged from black iron, is more destructive, but it still cannot break through Jia Shun's condensed blood energy; instead, it has to withstand a huge backlash.

Since that's the case, why not use a prolonged blood energy attack? Although it still won't break through the defense, at least the backlash won't be as strong.

"You've gained quite a bit this time, kid. You've exploded with energy for two feet!"

Jia Shun glanced at Chen Shi, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The burst of energy extended two feet, reaching the pinnacle of the eighth rank.

It should be noted that Chen Shi had only been ranked as a ninth-rank martial artist for a little over three months.

He has already reached the peak of the eighth rank, and his cultivation speed is indeed fast.

It seems that a lot of exotic beast blood was used on this trip into the mountains.

"But unfortunately, you cannot escape death today!"

Jia Shun let out a heavy, cold snort, his gaze chilling.

Even if one is at the peak of the eighth rank, one is still not at the seventh rank, and has no chance of winning against him!

Immediately afterwards, the beast's claws slammed down on Chen Shi.

Chen Shi was prepared and used the air currents to pull himself back and dodge.

Jia Shun followed up immediately, ready to continue the attack.

But at this moment, Gu Hanying had already arrived, her hands forming claws, and she launched an attack using the Crane's Cry from the Nine Heavens.

"Another peak eighth-grade student."

It also explodes two feet high, and in addition to its hands resembling crane claws, it also has a pair of invisible wings on its arms.

Not only is it as sharp as a knife, but it can also shoot its feathers as arrows at crucial moments, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

Unfortunately, Jia Shun had already reached the mid-stage of the seventh rank. Except for a few vital points, his entire body was covered by beast armor formed from blood energy, allowing him to completely ignore Gu Hanying's explosive attack.

As I said before, even if someone is at the peak of the eighth rank, they are still not at the seventh rank and are therefore no match for him.

Jia Shun believed himself to be invincible. He remained calm and composed even when facing two opponents, waiting for Chen Shi and Gu Hanying to make a mistake so that he could defeat them in one fell swoop.

Chen Shi and Gu Hanying naturally understood this principle as well. Although their moves were fierce, they always left some room for maneuver, managing to control their attacks with ease. In particular, their teamwork became increasingly seamless, so even if one of them made a mistake, the other could quickly make amends.

In the blink of an eye, the three had exchanged forty or fifty blows, and none of them had been able to gain the upper hand.

"snort!"

On the contrary, Jia Shun gradually lost patience and his attacks became increasingly unrestrained.

After all, he had the protection of beast armor formed from condensed blood energy, so he only needed to pay attention to a few vital points and didn't need to worry about other places.

As Jia Shun's attacks grew increasingly fierce, Chen Shi and Gu Hanying retreated step by step.

"Go to hell!"

With another loud shout, Jia Shun slapped Gu Hanying with his claw.

Gu Hanying dared not take the attack head-on and retreated to dodge.

At the same time, Chen Shi thrust in from the side, slashing Jia Shun's abdomen with a foot-long knife.

Jia Shun's abdomen was completely covered by animal armor. He glanced at Chen Shi out of the corner of his eye, his face showing disdain. Just like before, he ignored him and continued to approach Gu Hanying.

The two working together is still a bit troublesome; once one of them is taken down, victory will be easy.

clang!

With a sharp sound, a foot-long knife slashed fiercely into Jia Shun's abdomen.

Judging from the sound, this time, Chen Shi did not use blood energy to extend the blade, but rather the blade itself.

Click! Click!

Immediately afterwards, a faint cracking sound was heard.

Just as Jia Shun was about to continue his attack on Gu Hanying, he suddenly froze, looked down, and then his eyes widened instantly, filled with shock.

A crack appeared on the animal armor on his abdomen, starting from where Chen Shi had struck him.

How is that possible!

After a moment, Jia Shun came to his senses, his face filled with disbelief.

Chen Shi was only at the eighth rank of cultivation; how could he possibly break through his beast armor?

While Jia Shun was still in shock, Gu Hanying had already launched a counterattack.

"An accident! It must be an accident!"

Jia Shun frowned, gave a cold shout, and raised his hand to block.

Bang bang bang!

With a series of muffled thuds, Gu Hanying unleashed more than a dozen strikes in an instant, all of which were blocked by Jia Shun's beast claws or struck the beast armor.

The beast armor was not cracking, which reassured Jia Shun somewhat.

At that moment, Chen Shi slashed down again with his sword, still the same foot-long blade.

Jia Shun frowned and met the attack with his beast claws.

clang!

Another piercing sound rang out, and the foot-long knife was bounced back.

Click~

But the next moment, before Jia Shun could even rejoice, a soft sound rang out, and a crack appeared on his beast claw.

"What's going on!"

Jia Shun let out a startled shout, a look of panic appearing on his face.

The reason why a seventh-rank cultivator is stronger than an eighth-rank cultivator is entirely due to the physical body formed by the blood energy. If it is broken, wouldn't he lose all his advantages?

Startled, Jia Shun quickly looked at Chen Shi, his expression extremely grave.

What methods did this kid use to break through his blood energy condensation?

Chen Shi didn't waste any more words with him and immediately attacked again. His one-foot-long sword moved like a madman, hacking and slashing wildly at Jia Shun without any regard for anything else.

Jia Shun didn't have time to investigate and quickly defended himself.

Click! Click-clack!

As the two sides continued to collide, cracking sounds rang out, and cracks appeared on Jia Shun's beast claws and armor.

In the blink of an eye, his blood and qi solidified into a form like a broken and then glued-back vase, now covered in cracks!

"What on earth is going on?!"

Jia Shun's face was filled with terror, and he roared hysterically.

At this moment, Gu Hanying attacked again with a palm strike.

"Get out of here!"

Gu Hanying didn't have the strength of Chen Shi, so Jia Shun roared and met her attack with a palm strike.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Gu Hanying was knocked back several steps, but then Jia Shun suddenly froze.

Although the power wasn't particularly strong, a chill swept over them, piercing straight into their flesh and bones along the cracks in their claws, like steel needles.

What's going on?

Jia Shun subconsciously looked down, and then his eyes widened as he saw that his entire body was covered in a layer of white frost.

I initially thought it was the snow that had gotten in, but now it seems it must be Gu Hanying's doing!

It turned out to be the case.

In an instant, Jia Shun fully understood that it was Gu Hanying's cold energy that had eroded his blood and qi, making him weak and vulnerable, which was why Chen Shi was ultimately able to break through his defenses!

"You bitch!"

Realizing this, Jia Shun became furious and lunged at Gu Hanying with a roar.

But the next moment, Chen Shi stepped in front of him, leaped up, gripped a foot-long knife tightly in both hands, and slashed down at him with all his might.

Jia Shun's eyes widened, and his blood energy, now cracked and solidified, no longer dared to fight Chen Shi, who possessed the strength of four thousand jin. He hurriedly retreated and dodged.

Fortunately, they reacted in time and escaped Chen Shi's attack range.

But the next moment, before Jia Shun could even rejoice, a terrifying force struck, and Chen Shi's blood energy surged several feet again, slamming down hard on Jia Shun's head.

Click! Boom!

With the force of four thousand jin, and the burst of blood energy, Jia Shun's cracked beast armor finally gave way and shattered.

The aftershocks caused Jia Shun's eyes to roll back, and he swayed from side to side as he stood still.

"die!"

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Chen Shi gave a cold shout, withdrew his foot-long knife, and then slashed horizontally at Jia Shun's neck.

Blood energy bursts forth along the blade, making it as sharp as the sword itself.

The next moment, blood splattered, and Jia Shun's head flew straight up.
