The air compression explosion and the brute force of moving mountains and filling seas were all poured into the explosion in an instant. The gods' movements during battle were extremely smooth and elegant, like butterflies dancing.

Every movement is incredibly fluid, as if it has been honed through countless trials. The mind and body move in unison, and the posture can twist into an unnatural arc without any delay.

With a blast of the hammer, even though Su Yan managed to withstand the force of the bull-like blow, he couldn't completely absorb the damage from the air blast. His body was engulfed in a white beam of light and flew more than two miles away.

"clang--"

Before Su Yan fell to the ground, he softened the extremely long sacrificial knife so that he wouldn't be injured again when he rolled on the ground to dissipate the force.

"Pooh."

Su Yan spat out the rotten water that had splashed into his mouth, and stood up again, his face showing indignation. He looked at the burly man swinging a hammer who was rushing towards him, raised his hand, and spun around to unleash a hundred-meter-long black and red blade of light.

The god may seem rough, but he is very meticulous in his work. So meticulous that when he fought Su Yan, he didn't use any magic to unleash any moves. His air explosion was purely a result of his brute force.

The previously invincible double-effect method, or the corrupting water that comes with the power of the sacrificial knife, has lost its miraculous effect in the face of the gods.

"Jie Jie"

Seeing the hundred-meter-long blade of light approaching, the god's face broke into a wild laugh. Without even flinching, he headbutted the black and red blade of light, shattering it.

"Your knife can't even peel the fruit; it's more like a tool for making juice!"

"Boom!"

The alchemy furnace warhammer slammed down on Su Yan, instantly unleashing a fiery explosion with a diameter of over three hundred meters.

………………

Terraced fields beside a basin pond.

"."

Ruonv watched the chase and escape without offering any opinion, because the difference between the two was not only reflected in their cultivation and supernatural powers, but also in their vision and knowledge.

Many of Su Yan's moves might be considered Daoist techniques in the cultivation world, but in the presence of Ruo Nu or the gods, many of those Daoist techniques are like unpolished embryos, lacking refinement and polish, and containing numerous flaws visible to the naked eye.

This does not involve supernatural powers or the power of rules; it merely refers to flaws in the Daoist arts.

Therefore, when devising a strategy for Su Yan to face the trials of the gods, Ruonv clearly told Su Yan to stall for time as much as possible and not to confront him head-on.

Once you confront him head-on, the gods will get excited and become interested, and you will inevitably be defeated.

Therefore, in the initial stage, you can try to launch a strong attack, but when you arouse the god's interest, you must adopt a strategy of avoiding battle in order to wear down the god's newly aroused interest and prevent him from getting agitated.

This process would take up most of the time. As for the remaining time, Ruonv could not rely on deduction or guessing, so she could only rely on Su Yan's own brain to deal with it on the spot.

Faced with the increasingly impatient God who was avoiding battle and playing the kite, Su Yan's choice was naturally to release the restrictions of the immortality technique on his body, and to face the God with a serious expression, opening his arms and chanting some words, as if he was about to unleash a powerful move.

After stalling for more than a minute with trash talk, Su Yan manifested his little fox form and ran away whimpering.

Since the god saw Su Yan charging up his ultimate move, he naturally had to start charging up his own ultimate move as well, to clash with Su Yan.

But Su Yan didn't have any special moves at the moment. As soon as he saw the god go berserk, he immediately shrunk his size and started to run away.

"The Myriad Forms of the Forest: The Transformation of Water"

Seeing the Heavenly War Hammer gradually approaching, Su Yan could no longer rely on trickery to buy time. He leaped forward, turned around, and slapped the ground with his little fox hand, creating a wave about ten meters high that poured onto the Heavenly War Hammer.

At that moment, Su Yan raised his hand and waved it, stuffing the water phantoms he had just summoned into his storage ring. He gave them some special instructions, hoping they could buy him the remaining minute or so.

"Old Niu!"

Su Yan, in his fox form, stood upright, looking at the celestial being who was about to smash down with his warhammers, and spoke with the loudest voice he had ever uttered in the first half of his life, letting out a furious roar:

"Give me a little time, and I'll show you a forbidden move that I can only use once in my life!"

As he spoke, Su Yan stood still without dodging or flinching, and spat out the sacrificial knife from his storage ring, letting it float behind him and circle around him rapidly.

Su Yan raised his two little fox hands and used his water-controlling ability to create the appearance of boiling water in the lake.

The chaotic ripples on the lake surface quickly subsided under Su Yan's control, and smooth waterways with solid grooves spread out in front of the god.

"Oh?"

Hearing Su Yan's roar, the celestial being, quite curious, stopped four staff-lengths away from Su Yan and looked at the solid trough formed by the water that extended in front of him:

"A notched waterway? Are you trying to bombard me with something?"

Upon seeing the notched water trough, the god naturally assumed that these notches were used to accelerate and guide heavy objects.

The god smiled, held up the alchemy furnace warhammer in front of him, and said, "Since you've spoken up and intend to challenge me, let's have a contest!"

There was still some time left, and the distance between the two sides was less than twenty meters. For the God of Heaven, it was just the time it took to take a step. Whether Su Yan was being cunning or had some special skill, the God of Heaven was willing to make a concession and give Su Yan a chance to show it.

That way, even if the fox loses, it won't cry!

"Take this, God!"

Su Yan first pretended to draw circles in the air, then placed his arms in front of him and formed a hand seal. He then withdrew his arms, struck a lotus palm pose, and pushed hard at the celestial being, shouting:

"Take this, Princess's Double-Layer Spirit Stone Bombardment!"

The instant Su Yan extended his arms in the Lotus Palm stance and pushed forward, everyone, from the gods to the common people and the maiden, couldn't help but turn their gazes towards him.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a celestial vessel about 130 meters long and nearly 30 meters wide shot straight out from between Su Yan's palms at a speed of 400 to 500 kilometers per hour, and rolled down the guide channel toward the waiting celestial god.

"what?!"

Everyone, including the gods, stared in disbelief at the scene.

"What kind of underhanded trick is this?"

The celestial being gripped the alchemy furnace warhammer tightly in both arms, blocking the immortal boat that leaped out from Su Yan's palm. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be angry or amused as he watched this scene.

But just as everyone was at a loss for words, Su Yanlian revealed something again from her palm.

A colossal immortal ship, eighty meters wide and over three hundred and eighty meters long, sped out of the storage ring at incredible speed, crushing the immortal ship that had been previously spat out and blocked by the gods, and then crushing it across the circular arena with a series of booming sounds.

Even the most powerful celestial being could not stop the full-speed impact of the floating city. His body was swept into the bottom of the floating city ship and subjected to its repeated crushing.

"Boom!"

The floating city sped off the circular arena, skipping across the lake before crashing headlong into the forest, carving a ravine hundreds of meters long before finally coming to a complete stop.

"Waaaaah"

After throwing both immortal boats out, Su Yan immediately rushed to Senior Ruonv's side, fearing that the god would release the suppression of his power and slap him into a fox cake, then stew him with straw.

"."

The god lay sprawled on the ground, staring blankly at the azure sky. After a long while, the god raised his hand to cover his forehead and burst into laughter:

"Hahaha. What a double impact! It truly lives up to its name as a double impact, quite honest indeed!"

The celestial being straightened up and looked at Su Yan, who was already hiding behind Ruonv, saying, "This is very interesting."

"It's hilarious that there's a hint of honesty mixed with cunning, and a lot of shamelessness mixed with honesty."

Faced with Su Yan's shameless tactics, the god showed no sign of anger. Instead, he was amused by Su Yan's cunning and shamelessness and burst into laughter.

His name is Celestial God, a nickname given to him as a war maniac in the celestial realm and the martial arts world.

When the meaning of war is extended to the individual, it refers to those who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Attacks, killings, violence, even poisoning and assassinations are all means to an end. As long as the desired or envisioned goal can be achieved, everything is justified.

He was never aboveboard; the gods never hesitated to use despicable means to achieve their goals.

Like Bai Ze, he was a celestial being who entered the Dao by becoming famous throughout the world for his strength and martial arts skills. The reason why he was not honored as a God of War by others is precisely this.

Although Su Yan's methods were not honorable, he was preoccupied with his own mindset and emotions throughout the entire process.

However, if he successfully held out for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea during his offensive, then Su Yan would undoubtedly have defeated him and won!

The meaning of victory is to achieve one's goal. The means to achieve the goal are neither honorable nor dishonest. As long as the goal can be achieved with the least amount of cost, it is a good means!

The gods acknowledged the result of the previous arena match.

.....................

When the people saw their ancestral god acknowledge the challenger's victory, their expressions of astonishment and bewilderment turned into cheers, applauding Su Yan's cunning and shamelessness.

"Hahaha, come up with me!" The god lay on the ground for a while to calm his heartfelt laughter, then stood up again and waved to Ruonv and Suyan, signaling them to follow him.

"It's absolutely hilarious. Underhanded tactics may be cruel, cold-blooded, or even vicious and ruthless, but I've rarely seen anything as comical as what you've done in my entire life."

"The last time, among all the underhanded tricks, the one that made me laugh so happily was a Nightmare Suppression assassin. He broke into my house, intending to steal my alchemy furnace, and then we fought. In his excitement, he revealed his chimera, holding a knife, saying it was coated with a potent poison capable of killing immortals."

"Then, he licked it and vanished into thin air right in front of me. I was laughing for a long time. I've never seen such a stupid idiot."

The celestial being led the way, then turned back to look at Su Yan and said, "Of course, you two are different. He's the kind of stupid that makes me laugh out loud, while you're the kind of person who can make people laugh."

Su Yan looked embarrassed: "Thank you for your kind words, senior."

Faced with his senior's praise of his underhanded tricks being funny, Su Yan really didn't know what to say. He could only give an awkward but polite smile and say some polite words.

Led by the celestial being, Su Yan and Ruonv arrived at the terrace where the celestial being had been sitting.

Su Yan looked at the god with curiosity, examining him from head to toe. He couldn't see any injuries on the god's body, not even a minor scratch.

The deity invited the two to sit wherever they pleased, then turned and walked towards a small wooden hut.

“It’s impossible for an immortal to have injuries. If you can see wounds on an immortal’s body that don’t heal for a long time, or if there is dust or dirt on their body,” Ruonv said slowly as she looked at Su Yan, “that means the immortal is dying.”

"Uh?"

Su Yan looked at Senior Ruonv with a face full of surprise and doubt, not understanding how she knew what she was thinking.

“I don’t have mind-reading abilities, it’s just that your expressions are very human-like, and I can understand them at a glance,” Ruonv said with a confident expression.

"We don't have tea or anything like that in our village, only some immortal wine. Please make do with this." The celestial being retrieved some wine gourds from the hut, sat cross-legged on the ground, tossed the gourds aside, and said:

"There's no food, but this will have to do. You're not here to drink anyway."

The celestial being opened his mouth and spat out a jade square box, which fell to the ground. Then, he pushed it in front of Su Yan and said, "You promised the reward from the arena. Inside is the power that Bai Ze dispersed before his death and entrusted to us for safekeeping. Now it belongs to you."

Su Yan looked at the square box and then at Senior Ruonv.

"Oh?"

Seeing Su Yan's subtle gesture of looking at Ruonv, the celestial being chuckled softly:

"Young fox, there are some things you still need to rely on your own experience and intuition for more. Don't trust your seniors too much, after all, you don't know what they've been through."

"Su Nu's strength is undeniable, but her character is questionable."

The god looked at Su Yan and smiled, speaking in a sarcastic and mocking tone towards Ruonv.
