Chapter 198: The Fifth Level of the Heavenly Hand Refining Technique, the Demon Master Arrives! (Two in One)

[After your hands slowly faded from red, a flaming glow still remained between your slender fingers, like the lingering glow of the morning sun.]

[This is the fourth level of the Heavenly Hand Refining Realm - "Flame Tribulation".]

[Since entering the Xiantian realm, the mystical power of the Xiantian Gong, the tyranny of the Liantian Hand, and the vast destiny of the Yan land, the three intertwined to trigger an unprecedented transformation.]

[There are six levels of the Heavenly Refining Hand: "Fire", "Southern Candle", "Sealing Flame", "Flame Tribulation", "Fire Marsh", and "Zhu Rong".]

[At this stage, his power is so great that even ordinary iron can be melted slowly and turned into molten iron.]

[In the "Fire Marsh" realm, the essence of fire can be gathered in a specific area to form a wonder of fire. However, such a miracle requires the unity of heaven and man to enter the "heaven and man realm", and the resonance of the inner and outer heaven and earth, before one can control the external spiritual energy. ]

[Faced with Xiao Yue's powerful body movements, a head-on attack would only be futile. ]

[Real opportunities often hide in the most unlikely times. ]

[When it comes to fighting, Xiao Yue's speed is as fast as a startled wild goose. If you attack from the front, it's hard to reach the edge of his clothes. You have to wait for the right moment to hit him. ]

[Even if the Seven Masters of Zhongnan and the Four Elders of the Sword Sect were exhausted, it was not an opportunity for Xiao Yue to take advantage of. The real opportunity was hidden in the moment when Xiu'er hanged herself from the beam behind the house. At that moment, Xiao Yue's mind was shaken.]

【It’s the chance!】

[However, it is a pity that although this attack could injure Xiao Yue, it was just barely enough to injure him.]

[This heavenly realm is actually entering a whole new level. ]

[In this realm, the heaven and earth are the furnace, and man is the elixir. The inside and outside are united, and the spiritual energy moves as the heart wishes. The bones are reshaped, the acupoints are opened, and one transcends the mundane world. When one cultivates to the extreme, one reaches the supreme realm of "the body crossing the void" as recorded by the Three True Ancestors.]

[Xiao Yue has already reached the level of a celestial being. If he were an ordinary person, his chest would have been pierced long ago.]

[You looked up and saw Xiu'er falling off the hemp rope that separated life and death in front of the stone house. Her face was not afraid at all, but showed a trace of relief and joy.]

[You secretly admired this woman in your heart. She was actually strong-willed and intelligent. She was definitely not someone who would go along with Xiao Yue. The bowl she had deliberately broken before was her silent warning to you. This "suicide" was actually a risky move she had carefully planned.]

[Everyone around was filled with horror at the shocking blow to King Yan just now.]

[Looking at Xiao Yue again, he was in a rather miserable state at the moment, his shirt had been reduced to ashes by the raging flames, revealing his well-proportioned upper body, and a shocking palm print was left on his chest, deeply embedded, his flesh and blood blurred.]

[His hair was disheveled, but he silently touched the wound on his chest. His skin was burnt and there was a burning sensation on it. There was even a hot breath raging in his body.]

[Xiao Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at you, and questioned: "Is this not a human martial art?"]

[You remain silent, the aura around you surges again, and your hands are instantly covered in red light, like a branding iron just taken out of a furnace, hot and blazing.]

[Xiao Yue still has some strength left, this battle is far from over. ]

[The Seven Masters of Zhongnan are no longer able to mobilize their spiritual energy and are all paralyzed on the ground. Although they saw that their master had defeated Xiao Yue, they were not optimistic and sighed that they did not kill him with one strike.]

[They looked at the figure of the master, their eyes full of anxiety and self-blame, not wanting to become a burden to the master.]

[The four Sword Sect members focused their gazes on your hands. Those palms were like blazing flames. Even from a distance, they could still feel the terrifying heat contained in them.]

[They looked at each other, all of them were shocked. They had not left the mountain gate for many years, and had never seen such a strange martial art!]

[The Jianghu is really full of new people replacing old ones!]

[The four members of the Sword Sect also noticed the movement in the shed and saw two people taking advantage of the chaos to escape, including the Sword Sect disciple Hu Jie.]

[Faced with this scene, they did not show too much disappointment, because survival is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it. They just sighed softly.]

[Xiao Yue suddenly turned around, and his eyes fell on Xiu'er with complicated expressions, as if he had realized something.]

[The previous panic in Xiu'er's eyes has disappeared, replaced by an indescribable determination. ]

[Xiao Yue laughed out loud, with a hint of amusement and appreciation in her voice: "Haha, I like you even more like this!"]

【That's all!】

[He turns his attention back to you and takes out an exquisite jade bottle from his sleeve.]

[The bottle stopper was slightly opened, and a faint fragrance instantly spread out. He poured the jade liquid in the bottle onto the shocking wound on his chest without hesitation.]

[A miraculous scene occurred—the bloody wound, nourished by the jade liquid, slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.]

[“Lu Chen, you are indeed extraordinary. You are the first person in many years who can hurt me.” Xiao Yue’s voice was a little more serious, “But unfortunately, you will not have such good luck a second time.”]

[The four elders of the Sword Sect were so shocked when they saw this scene that they were speechless. What kind of magical thing was the jade liquid in the jade bottle that could heal such a serious injury so quickly?]

[This was beyond their imagination and unbelievable.]

[Xiao Yue looked at the jade bottle that was almost empty, and a trace of heartache flashed across his face. If it weren't for the imminent battle with Lu Yu today, he would never waste such a precious thing so easily. ]

[At this moment, the wound on his chest has completely healed, leaving only a faint scar. ]

[He looked at you again, trying to find a trace of fear on your face.]

【All your efforts end here. 】

[Unfortunately, you still look calm.]

【at this time!】

[Xiao Yue and you seem to have sensed something, and three people outside the tavern unexpectedly retreated.]

[They are the three people who just took the opportunity to escape, Hu Jie from the Sword Sect, the old man in hemp clothes from the Snow Mountain Sect, and Ma Yiren who was forcibly taken away with his acupuncture points sealed.]

[Hu Jie and the old man in hemp clothes, looking nervous, slowly retreated back to the tavern.]

[Everyone in the studio was puzzled. Xiao Yue hadn't pursued them, so why did they come back?]

[The smile on Xiao Yue's face became brighter.]

[The three of them slowly retreated, their eyes fixed on the doorway, where someone seemed to be approaching.]

[Immediately afterwards, two more people entered the tavern, one was an elegant middle-aged scholar, and the other was a masculine young man.]

[The two walked in slowly, and the middle-aged scholar spoke first, his voice gentle but powerful: "Huang Dao, greetings to the King of Yan."]

【After saying this, the young man beside him also bowed in greeting.】

[These two people are Huang Dao and Xie Mu.]

【Huang Dao's eyes fell on you. This is indeed the first official meeting between you.】

[Although you met Daqingjing in the past in Zhongnan Mountain, you two have never actually met.]

[A hint of surprise flashed across Huang Dao's eyes. He had never expected that the world-famous King Yan had actually entered the Xiantian realm. Such a level of cultivation was enough to make him one of the top ten masters of Baoyue Tower.]

【Xie Mu's face was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Lu Yu was not there. If he hadn't spoken in Zhongnan Mountain that year, the emperor before Daqing might not have died.】

[Huang Dao would not have lived to this day!]

【Xie Mu's words changed the fate of Daqing and the overall situation of the martial arts world.】

【“Magic Master Huang Dao!”】

【As the middle-aged scholar introduced himself, there was a sound of people gasping for air in the studio. 】

[One of the five greatest magicians in the world also appeared here. ] [Hu Jie and the old man in hemp clothes looked extremely ugly at this moment. ]

[They thought they had escaped, but unexpectedly they met Huang Dao again, and despair rose in their hearts. Especially Hu Jie, who looked depressed, as if he had foreseen his fate.]

【Xiao Yue saw this and greeted him with a smile: "You are a little late, Brother Huang Dao."】

[Huang Dao smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a deep meaning hidden in that smile. He replied leisurely:]

[“It’s not too late. This is just the right time.”]

[The two of them had a previous agreement, and everything was already tacitly understood by each other. 】

[Xiao Yue knew very well that Huang Dao had a clear purpose for this trip, which was to personally end Lu Chen's life.]

[At this moment, he also understood that time waits for no one. He still doesn't know the situation on Xuan Tianzi's side. Although there are forbidden characters, he doesn't think that Xuan Tianzi can deal with Lu Yu alone. ]

【“Brother Huang Dao, there is no time to lose!”】

[In Xiao Yue's opinion, the lives of these people are no longer important. He has only one thought in his mind, which is to get rid of Lu Chen as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.]

[The atmosphere in the studio was extremely depressing, as if even the air had frozen.]

【Everyone felt an unprecedented despair.】

[“Master, why haven’t you come back yet?”]

[The Seven Masters of Zhongnan were all extremely anxious. They knew that their master alone could not resist the combined efforts of the two Five Supreme Masters.]

[Xiu'er, who was standing behind the house, also had a bleak look on her face. She clenched the scissors in her hand, but she was powerless to change the situation.]

【“Uncle Master, hurry up!”】

[The Seven Zhongnan disciples shouted desperately, hoping that their master would abandon them and save themselves.]

【However!】

[You remained indifferent, and even began to slowly restrain your Heavenly Refining Hand. ]

【At this time!】

[Xiao Yue's face showed a trace of impatience: "Why, there are so many flies today!"]

[Huang Dao stood to one side, looking calm, as if he had expected this incident to happen.]

【Xie Mu quickly looked outside the tavern and could vaguely see people and horses surging in the distance, galloping towards them.】

[Hu Jie had extraordinary hearing. The sound of horse hooves, as dense as a torrential rain, sounded to him like hundreds or thousands of them, majestic and powerful.]

[At this critical moment, a deafening sonic boom sounded in the studio.]

[Countless hidden weapons were thrown at Xiao Yue, Huang Dao and the other two.]

[Xiao Yue waved the folding fan in his hand lightly, blocking most of the attack. A hidden weapon with a cold glow seemed to turn a corner with consciousness and came straight at his eyes.]

[He only twisted two fingers lightly and firmly grasped the hidden weapon.]

[It turned out to be an ancient yellow copper coin!]

[In order to take care of Xie Mu, Huang Dao waved his sleeves, and the hidden weapons flying around seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand and fell into his sleeves one after another. Looking closely, he saw that they were a bunch of copper coins, round with a hole in the middle.]

[There is also the sound of a sword ringing, breaking into the shed.]

[When the four elders of the Sword Sect saw this, one of them said in surprise:]

[“The sky is full of falling phoenix trees!”]

[Everyone knows that this is the unique skill of Ye Shengnan, the master of the Ye family, who is ranked in the top ten on the Jingzhe list.]

[Ye Shengnan, known as the "Thousand-Handed Fairy" in the martial arts world, often appears in men's clothing, but it is difficult to hide her peerless beauty. ]

[Her skills in using hidden weapons are unrivaled in the world.]

[“Falling phoenix trees all over the sky”, this hidden weapon skill is well-known in the martial arts world. When it is wielded, it is like phoenix tree leaves flying all over the sky in autumn, and each leaf contains deadly murderous intent. ]

[Everyone's attention was drawn to the door again, and two figures slowly walked in. ]

[One is a man in gray standing with a sword on his back, about thirty years old, elegant, with long hair, a delicate face, a light beard on his chin, and eyes like cold stars.]

[The most well-known among the Sword Sect, “Li Lanjian”, known as the Sword Saint, is ranked among the top ten masters in the world. ]

[The other person is a beautiful woman dressed in men's clothing. She holds a golden folding fan in her hand, gently waving it. Her peach blossom eyes are smiling and full of affection. This person is Ye Shengnan, who is also known as the "Thousand-Handed Fairy."]

[The only woman among the ten great masters in the world!]

[The two of them naturally stood in front of the crowd. ]

[Yu Xiaoyue and Huang Dao become enemies!]

[This is a shocking duel, two of the top ten masters on the Jingzhe list are facing off against the legendary five supreme masters of the world. ]

[Everyone was getting more nervous. They actually encountered five of the top ten in the world in a tavern.]

[Li Lanjian spoke first, laughing heartily: "Master Xiaoyue, we haven't seen each other for two years! Although I didn't win the last time we fought, I was lucky enough to escape. I will fight again today and I will definitely learn from your skills."]

[Ye Shengnan set her sights on the magician Huang Dao, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "I never thought that the poor man playing the flute by the Yuetang River last year was actually the world-famous magician Huang Dao."]

[“The magician is still as charming as ever. Shengnan is fortunate to see him today. It is truly a great honor.”]

[Who could have expected that Huang Dao, the cold-blooded demon in the eyes of the world, was actually a gentle and elegant Confucian scholar. ]

[Huang Dao smiled slightly and responded: "It's been a long time!"]

[Xiao Yue's face was gloomy, and he asked: "You two really want to be my enemy?"]

[You should know that the gap between the Xiantian and Tianren realms above the Grandmaster is like a chasm. ]

[Normally, if these two met Xiao Yue, even if they joined forces, they would have no choice but to flee.]

[Ye Shengnan looked determined and said slowly: "If you two leave now, Brother Li and I will naturally not dare to stand in front of you."]

[“If you two intend to harm the King of Yan, I’m afraid it will be difficult to succeed. If anything happens to the King of Yan, the world will fall into chaos.”]

【Huang Dao laughed and said: “Then there is nothing to talk about!”】

[Before he finished speaking, there was already a commotion outside. The sounds of people dismounting from their horses came one after another, accompanied by the sound of bowstrings being tightened, obviously preparing to draw their bows and shoot arrows.]

[Soon, four hundred soldiers in armor surrounded the tavern.]

[Xiao Yue frowned!]

[The hooded woman in the shed, the woman in the Yuetang Jiangshan Temple, seems to have some feelings and looks outside.]

[Hu Jie's eyes lit up, it seemed the situation had reversed.]
