In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

···

At this moment, Chi Xue's blood and qi were like smoke rising and falling, and his powerful and domineering demonic true qi was fluctuating violently, cleansing the surroundings.

This is the true strength after eight blood refinements.

"This is the first time I have gone all out. I hope Master Zhang will not disappoint me!"

Even after hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's assessment that his cultivation was inferior to Zhang Sanfeng's, Chi Xue didn't believe he was truly inferior to Zhang Sanfeng.

A vast and domineering crimson true energy erupted from his body, indistinguishable from the swirling smoke and blood. At this moment, Crimson Blood was like a god or demon suppressing the nine provinces and dominating the heavens, his heart filled with boundless fighting spirit...

"It is my honor to witness the wonders of the legendary immortal demon body."

This is a legendary martial art that rivaled even the Yellow Emperor, the world-suppressing demonic art of Chi You, the ancestor of warfare. In terms of sheer power and domineering presence, it is absolutely superior to Zhang Sanfeng's.

Even Yan Nantian, who has reached the pinnacle of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, is probably slightly inferior to this demonic skill refined through eight blood trials in terms of sheer dominance.

After all, this is a truly supreme martial art, refined nine times with blood, invincible throughout the Nine Provinces.

what!

With a roar, Chi Xue unleashed a powerful and divine attack with a simple and direct punch.

Twelve feet is twice six feet. If a seven-foot man is converted to 1.7 meters, twelve feet is three meters tall. With an overwhelming physique and a fierce and domineering aura like a god or demon, everyone's heart tightened.

Even Zhang Sanfeng was awestruck by the domineering and powerful nature passed down through the ages.

The way of Tai Chi is to overcome hardness with softness!

If an ordinary person were to face the unparalleled and overwhelming ferocity of Crimson Blood, they would likely be killed in a single blow.

But Zhang Sanfeng, with his flowing sleeves and seemingly effortless Tai Chi movements, actually met the opponent head-on with a Tai Chi Cloud Hand.

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of outsiders, this was courting death.

It's like throwing an egg against a rock; the chicken flies and the egg is destroyed.

Only those experts at the level of unparalleled grandmaster or above can perceive the artistic conception emanating from Zhang Sanfeng 2.0.

The highest good is like water, which encompasses all things. The way of heaven and earth is like an unfathomable ocean, with no end in sight. Likewise, one cannot fathom the depths of Zhang Sanfeng's wisdom.

There was no earth-shattering, domineering clash that shook the world.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Cloud Hands, gently raised, not only caught the lightning-fast punch from the demon god, but also, by following the momentum, neutralized Chi Xue's unparalleled attack into nothingness.

Tai Chi, which seems simple and fluid, is something anyone can easily do.

But it's like a hundred-ton pillar falling down. Trying to use its force against it and catch it is something even the arrogant Zhang Wuji, who has mastered the true essence of Tai Chi, absolutely cannot do. He would only be crushed to death.

This is Zhang Sanfeng's philosophy of the Way of Man and Nature, which has long transcended the limitations of Tai Chi.

Chapter 741 A Palm That Descended from the Sky

"Tai Chi? What a wonderful way of life and harmony between humanity and nature!"

Chi Xue showed admiration on his face, but he held nothing back in his hands.

With his punch exhausted, he not only followed up with another punch, but also unleashed a lightning-fast kick like a long whip, carrying the force of wind and thunder, aimed directly at Zhang Sanfeng's face.

Every punch and kick is powerful and heavy, moving like thunder!

Such powerful and unparalleled fists and feet, if they were in Zhang Sanfeng's position, even grandmasters like Chi Yuan, the Evil Emperor, and Dongfang Bubai would have to fight with all their might and dare not be careless in the slightest.

But in their eyes, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be old and frail, moving slowly and gracefully!

Even the Wudang disciples present, and the third-rate masters of the martial arts world, felt that they could keep up with Zhang Sanfeng's speed.

Not to mention the lightning-fast Crimson Blood.

With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Sanfeng could kill his opponent hundreds of times.

What's astonishing is that the seemingly slow Tai Chi Chuan actually struck first after the opponent had moved, blocking the moves that ordinary people couldn't see and the afterimages of wind and thunder breaking through the air.

Was Zhang Sanfeng really slow?

Even a third-rate Wudang disciple could see it clearly, so it was naturally very slow.

　19 But being able to withstand Crimson Blood's ferocious attacks and strike first after the opponent has acted is by no means slow.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the profoundness of Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi.

What seems like a simple use of leverage to overcome strength, and the principle of using softness to overcome hardness, has actually reached a state of perfect harmony between humanity and nature, far beyond the simple concept of oneness with nature.

Even the old Celestial Master was shaken to his core.

His martial arts belong to the fierce and powerful school, with his thunder magic being extremely powerful and his innate qi being incredibly strong.

However, if he were to face Chi Xue, he might be able to block Chi Xue's punches and kicks with his innate qi, but in the end, he would definitely be the one to exhaust his qi and blood and die first.

After all, compared to Chi Xue, he was already a hundred years old.

Although Chi Xue is also in his seventies, the body-refining techniques of Miao Jiang are not the same as the martial arts training methods of the Jianghu. Moreover, Chi Xue has been using medicinal herbs to strengthen his body since childhood, and with the addition of the ten-thousand-year-old divine medicine he took when breaking through to the eighth level of refinement, his qi and blood are as strong as smoke. In less than a hundred years, his qi and blood will not weaken at all.

"Young master is indeed experienced!"

Although the Demon Sect Master's attack was domineering and powerful, it was somewhat insufficient in the face of Zhang Zhenren's Heavenly Dao.

Zhao Gao's eyes gleamed. If Zhang Sanfeng's Dao hadn't been completely unsuitable for him, he wouldn't have had time to chat idly with Zhang Xiaoshan. At this moment, all the experts above the peerless level were focused on the two combatants, trying to comprehend the artistic conception they were displaying.

"One force can break all laws, but the Demon Sect Master has not yet reached the legendary Nine Refinements Realm."

Moreover, the Crimson Blood Sect Master still had some strength left, adhering to the principles of gentlemanly conduct, and did not use the Miao region's signature poison—the Golden Silkworm Gu!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but glance at the Demon Sect's Crimson Blood with apprehension.

Not to mention that Chi Xue's vast demonic arts far surpass his.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan has been emphasizing the Golden Silkworm Gu poison, which is what the Central Plains martial arts world fears most about Miao territory.

"I wonder how you managed to repel the Crimson Blood Sect Master back then?"

Is it difficult?

Zhang Xiaoshan's rhetorical question, accompanied by a light laugh, made Zhao Gao's pupils shrink.

His tone was contemptuous, showing more disdain for Zhao Gao. After all, no matter how strong Chi Xue was, could he be stronger than the Bad Commander?

Even though Chi Xue didn't fully unleash his Undying Demon Body back then, Zhang Xiaoshan still revealed his trump cards.

With just a single sword strike of the primordial spirit, one can cleave through eternity.

"Unless I reach the Ninth Refinement Realm, I will not be interested. Otherwise, I would prefer to comprehend the Heavenly Dao with Master Zhang."

"Nine Refinements?"

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan's arrogant tone infuriated even Chi Yuan.

After breaking through to the Ninth Refinement Realm, he was determined to challenge Zhang Xiaoshan.

Even though the Zhang family now has extremely close ties with Miao territory.

Over the years, as the Zhang family's business has grown bigger and bigger, all the specialties of Miao region have been sold through the Zhang family's trading company. Moreover, the Zhang family has also helped them to open up a mountain road in and out of the mountains.

Bang!

Chi Xue was thrown out by Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Cloud Hands technique, and the entire square seemed to shake as if an earth dragon had turned over.

Everyone knew that Chi Xue could not shake the mountains, but they were affected by the two people's powerful true qi.

These are two Grandmasters, and top-tier Grandmasters at that!

By this time, the two had already exchanged hundreds of moves, and it was clear that Zhang Sanfeng could not gain the slightest advantage in terms of fists and feet. Chi Xue also understood that Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Chuan had long since transcended the constraints of fists and feet, reaching the state of perfect harmony between heaven and man that Zhang Xiaoshan had described.

The only way to defeat Zhang Sanfeng is to seek a different path.

Golden Silkworm Gu King?

Chi Xue has not yet become mortal enemies with Wudang, and the Zhang family is on good terms with Wudang. If Zhang Xiaoshan intervenes, things will not be easy.

Total Annihilation!

The simplest move in the martial arts world, the sweeping leg, was now being used by Chi Xue, causing a deluge of stone slabs to rain down on Zhang Sanfeng in the center.

Since his fists and feet were countered, Chi Xue directly chose to attack from a distance to deplete Zhang Sanfeng's true qi.

Although masters at the Grandmaster level are said to be in harmony with heaven and man, and possess inexhaustible true qi.

In reality, when masters clash, the rate at which true qi is consumed far exceeds the rate at which it is replenished, and naturally, there will come a time when it is exhausted.

Moreover, Chi Xue did not rely solely on ranged attacks to wear Zhang Sanfeng down; his aim was to seize any openings Zhang Sanfeng might reveal and deliver a fatal blow.

Tai Chi diagram!

Suddenly, amidst the flying rocks, a Tai Chi diagram, covering an area of ​​about ten feet, appeared around Zhang Sanfeng, blocking all the incoming stone slabs.

Seeing this, Chi Xue threw several large bricks around him at the Tai Chi diagram using the "Elephant Throwing Skill 653".

Crimson Blood is an Eight-Refined Demonic Art; the stone slabs he throws are accompanied by the howling of wind and thunder, and no grandmaster would dare to underestimate him.

But the moment it touches the Tai Chi symbol, it is at most purer than those stone slabs, turning directly into dust.

However, after all the stone slabs were used up, the Tai Chi diagram disappeared without a trace.

This terrifying control caused even Liu Sheng Piaoxu and the Evil Emperor Taiping Princess to shrink in shock.

The Tai Chi diagram is Zhang Sanfeng's manifestation of divine power; it can protect him within a radius of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), defeat enemies within a radius of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), and also allow him to attain enlightenment within a radius of one hundred zhang (approximately 33 meters)...

However, at this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Crimson Blood had disappeared.

Buddha's Palm!

This was a palm strike that came from the sky.

Although it was just a whim of Chi Xue, he created it specifically to deal with Zhang Sanfeng.

But under this palm strike, an incomparably terrifying aura enveloped the surrounding area. The domineering blood energy that could destroy the heavens and the earth and suppress all directions gave people a feeling of unparalleled power and irresistibility.

This palm strike gave the impression that it could crush Zhang Sanfeng into mincemeat.

"Master (Grand Master), be careful!"

The Seven Heroes of Wudang and Zhang Wuji felt a chill run down their spines as they watched this scene.

However, Chi Xue's movements were too fast. The moment they spoke, Chi Xue's palm force had already pierced down, giving them no time to warn him.

Chapter 742 The Demonic Sect's Defeat and the Evil Emperor's Attack

Bang!

A Tai Chi diagram suddenly appeared, facing the terrifying palm force that could destroy everything, encompassing mountains and rivers.

At this moment, the Tai Chi diagram around Zhang Sanfeng slowly rotated, and all the palm strikes that had suppressed his life force vanished into nothingness, like cattle entering the sea.

Even when faced with the 'Buddha's Palm' that descended from the sky, Zhang Sanfeng used a Tai Chi Cloud Hands technique, grabbing Chi Xue's wrist the instant he was about to strike and throwing him away again.

With composure, without the slightest hesitation, it was done in one go.

Even the grandmasters couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

Unexpectedly, Chi Xue's palm strike, which came down from the sky, was broken just like that.

Bang!

As soon as the crimson blood landed, the force it hadn't yet dissipated instantly crushed the surrounding rocks, which were several feet in size, into dust.

"As expected of the number one Taoist master, I am inferior in skill and concede defeat!"

At this point, unless he used the Golden Silkworm Gu King during their exchange of blows, Chi Xue would have no chance of defeating Zhang Sanfeng.

This is a complete crushing defeat in terms of skill level!

Therefore, Crimson Blood did not continue to test the waters; there was no need for it.

Crimson Blood's strength lies in his physical cultivation, but Zhang Sanfeng's understanding of heaven and earth has reached the realm of the celestial being, and he may even have condensed the Taoist primordial spirit that Zhang Xiashan mentioned.

Moreover, even if he really stays here, in the end it will only result in mutual destruction, which is not worth the loss.

"You flatter me, Sect Master."

Zhang Sanfeng didn't mince words, and he was also extremely amazed by Chi Xue's strength.

Having only reached the level of eight Blood Refinements, his power was as domineering as a thunderous raging sea, no less powerful than the wind and thunder divine power of the Shaolin Twelve Gates Golden Bell Cover.

How terrifying must an indestructible demonic body at the Ninth Refinement Realm be?
