Guhe never expected that the young man in front of him would be so violent, attacking without warning!

When that colossal hand, capable of blotting out the sky, tore through the clouds once more, descending with an even more ferocious and violent aura than before, Gu He's face instantly revealed an extremely solemn expression.

"Crimson Flame Heavenly Shield!"

At the critical moment, Gu He roared and unleashed his powerful crimson battle qi without reservation, which rapidly condensed in front of him and transformed into a huge fire shield burning with raging flames!
This is his trump card defensive fighting technique, with a grade as high as the advanced Xuan rank, enough to withstand the full force of an ordinary Dou Huang!
"—Boom!!!"

The giant hand crashed down like a collapsing pillar, slamming heavily onto the crimson fire shield!

The moment the two made contact, Gu He's expression changed drastically!
His prized Crimson Flame Heavenly Shield only lasted for two and a half breaths before cracking under the strain.

The flames burning on it were extinguished by the desolate and deathly aura!
"--puff!"

The backlash from the forced shattering of his fighting technique made Guhe feel a sweet taste in his throat, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, the giant hand pierced through the collapsing fire shield and slammed into his protective battle aura.

"--boom!"

Gu He's alchemist robe instantly shattered, and he was slammed into the ruins of the collapsed stone platform below by an irresistible force, just like a kite with a broken string!
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and fragments of rock shot out.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

As the dust settled, everyone looked on in horror and saw Gu He lying in a deep pit in the center of the ruins, covered in blood. His breath was extremely weak, and he was still vomiting blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

He is now completely broken, barely clinging to life.

This was only because Lin Dong, at the last moment, forcibly withdrew most of his strength out of consideration for Yun Yun who was not far away.

Otherwise, with that palm strike just now, Gu He and the large area of ​​foundation beneath him would probably have been blasted into dust!
On the viewing platform.

The muscles on the faces of Jia Xingtian, Fama, Yan Shi, and others twitched slightly, their eyes wide open, as if they were witnessing the most unbelievable sight in the world.

They had previously speculated that this 'Xiao Yan' might have gotten close to Gu He, and that Yun Yun was only showing mercy because of Gu He's influence.

But now...

Without saying a word, this 'Xiao Yan' almost killed Gu He on the spot!

This is hardly a relationship of opportunism.
It was clearly a ruthless crushing and hostility!
"He's gone mad...this kid must be insane!"

Yan Shi swallowed hard, his voice a little dry.

Dan Wang Gu He is a leading figure in the alchemy world of the Jia Ma Empire, with enormous influence. How dare this young man use such a heavy hand?
Jia Xingtian's eyes flickered uncertainly, but he had a different plan in mind.

The Yunlan Sect has been too powerful in recent years, putting too much pressure on the royal family.

If this 'Xiao Yan' could fight the Yunlan Sect to a draw... that would be a godsend for the entire royal family of the Jia Ma Empire!

He clenched his fist secretly, showing no intention of helping at all; on the contrary, he hoped the situation would become even more chaotic.

The square was in chaos. The disciples of Yunlan Sect were both shocked and furious, but none of them dared to step forward.

Even Elder Yunling and Pill King were severely injured by Xiao Yan's attack. Wouldn't it be suicide for them to go up there?

Lin Dong didn't even glance at Gu He, who was barely alive in the pit. He turned around and stared intently at Yun Yun, whose face was pale, and demanded sharply, "Sister-in-law, you must explain yourself clearly today. What exactly happened? Why did you marry this guy? Are you trying to betray my brother?"

"I……"

Yun Yun's lips trembled, her eyes filled with complexity and bitterness.

The romantic encounter she shared with Zhu Chen in the Monster Mountain Range three years ago was a unique experience in her life; how could she forget it? But her master's orders were as immeasurable as a mountain, and as the current sect leader, how could she possibly disobey the orders of the former sect leader, Yun Shan?
Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, just about to speak and reveal the helplessness in her heart.

But just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out from inside the mountain gate, silencing all the noise:

"How dare you run wild in my Yunlan Sect, injure my elders, and destroy my sect... Today, no matter who you are, you won't be leaving here!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to strike directly into the depths of everyone's soul, carrying a chilling sense of oppression!
"That's... that old man Yunshan's voice?"

Jia Xingtian, Fama, and the others suddenly changed color and turned to look at the depths of the back mountain of Yunlan Sect.

In sight, a dazzling white beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from a mountain peak behind the mountain!

Within the pillar of light, a figure stepped onto the light staircase, traversing hundreds of feet in a single stride, like a meteor falling to earth, carrying an overwhelming momentum as it crashed down in the center of the plaza!

"--Snapped!"

The moment the person's feet touched the ground, visible ripples spread across the ground beneath their feet, and even the surrounding gravel and dust were pushed away by an invisible wave of air!
This man wore a simple white robe with cloud patterns, had white hair and beard, and looked like a young man, but his eyes were as deep as a cold pool, as if they contained the vicissitudes accumulated over the years.

This person was none other than Yunshan, the legendary figure of the previous generation of the Jia Ma Empire and the previous sect leader of the Yunlan Sect!
What made Jia Xingtian and the others' hearts clench even more was that the aura faintly emanating from Yun Shan at this moment was vast and ethereal, far surpassing the peak of Dou Huang, and its connection with the energy of the surrounding world was so close as to be outrageous!

This is clearly beyond the reach of even a Dou Huang level expert.

"Dou Zong...he really broke through!"

Jia Xingtian gasped, his voice hoarse as he murmured.

Although there had been rumors that Yunshan was in seclusion trying to break through to the Dou Zong realm, the shock he felt upon witnessing it firsthand was still unparalleled.

The difference between Dou Zong and Dou Huang is only one word, but the difference is like heaven and earth!

The Jia Ma Empire hasn't produced a Dou Zong level expert in so many years!

After Yunshan appeared, he did not immediately look at Lin Dong. Instead, he glanced at the heavily injured Yun Leng, Nalan Yanran, and Gu He, whose fate was unknown in the ruins. His brows furrowed slightly.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Dong, the only one standing in the arena.

Lin Dong also felt the immense pressure from Yunshan, but he was naturally arrogant and fearless. At this moment, he stuck out his neck and glared back without backing down.

Yunshan took a step forward, his figure like a ghost. One moment he was dozens of feet away, the next he was less than three feet in front of Lin Dong, shrinking the distance to an inch!

Lin Dong reacted extremely quickly. Almost at the same time as Yun Shan moved, he let out a low roar, and his right fist surged with Yuan Power, carrying the force to shatter mountains and split rocks, and punched Yun Shan in the face!
However, facing this punch that was enough to kill a Dou Wang, Yun Shan simply turned slightly to the side without any expression.

"—Whoosh!"

Lin Dong's powerful punch landed on empty air!
Yunshan's figure swayed slightly like a reflection in the water. His true form had appeared behind him at some point, still standing with his hands behind his back, not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled.

"So fast!"

Lin Dong felt a chill run down his spine. He had barely seen how the other party moved just now.

Yunshan looked down at Lin Dong and said calmly, "You are so young yet possess such strength. No wonder you dare to act so presumptuously in my Yunlan Sect. Tell me, who are you? Who is acting on your behalf? Why did you injure my disciples and destroy my sect?"

Lin Dong shook his slightly numb fist, grinned, and said, "I am Lin Dong, and I am not here to give orders. No one is giving orders to me. I just don't like your lousy sect. I can fight if I want and leave if I want. What can you do about it?"

Upon hearing this, Yunshan's face remained expressionless, but his eyes, as cold as a deep pool, seemed to grow even colder.

He nodded slightly, his tone still calm, yet carrying an indifference as if looking down on ants: "Your demeanor is quite good, but your strength is a bit weak."
