I forge immortality with a pagoda.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Gu Feizheng and Wei Qingjun. Seeing that both of them nodded with serious expressions, he knew that such a rule did exist.

"Shen was naturally aware of this matter."

Jin Anping laughed wildly and said, "Since you know, then be straightforward! If you can withstand an incense stick's worth of defeat in my hands, then you've passed my test, and I, Jin Anping, will never trouble you again, how about it?"

Shen Yu showed no fear and said, "Since Senior Brother insists on a fight, then please make your move."

His calm and composed demeanor earned him the admiration of many onlookers, who felt that this new senior brother was at least quite courageous.

"Wait!" Gu Feizheng, who was standing to the side, hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

He moved his lips slightly, secretly transmitting his voice to Shen Yu, "Senior Brother Shen, you absolutely must not accept this person's challenge!"

Shen Yu was puzzled. "Junior Brother Gu, why do you say that? Judging from this person's cultivation level, it seems to be similar to mine, both at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Could he possibly have some powerful trump card up his sleeve?"

"Senior brother, you may not know this! This man is one of Huang Daocheng's most capable lieutenants under Sha Yun Peak. His main Taoist art is a superior demonic technique called 'Bone-Eating Yin Sha Finger,' which is extremely insidious!"

"This method excels at concentrating Yin energy into a single point, unleashing astonishing power. It can often decide the outcome in a single move, making it impossible to defend against."

"But each time I unleash my full power, it takes a lot of time to re-condense the Yin Sha power, which is much more difficult than cultivating ordinary superior Taoist techniques."

"Coming to challenge us now must mean they've made thorough preparations, hoping to severely injure Senior Brother in one fell swoop!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Junior Brother. I understand. However, this person has already come knocking on our door. If we simply avoid battle, we'll only give them more ammunition to criticize us. Don't worry, Junior Brother, I have a plan to deal with this."

Jin Anping saw that the two were secretly communicating, so he knew that they were discussing something. However, he did not urge them. Instead, he calmly waited for the two to respond.

If Shen Yu accepts his challenge, he will definitely make him suffer a great loss in front of everyone, or even seriously injure Shen Yu and leave him with a Dao injury.

If Shen Yu is too cowardly to accept the challenge, then his reputation as a coward will be confirmed, and Yue Ling's reputation will also be damaged.

In his view, this plan was a strategy that allowed him to advance or retreat at will, and was a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Shortly after, Shen Yu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior Brother, please make your move!"

Seeing that Shen Yu showed no fear, Jin Anping blurted out, "You do have some guts."

With a flick of his sleeve, a large golden-ringed sword, its red and black auras intertwined, materialized in mid-air and slashed down fiercely at Shen Yu with a gust of bloody wind.

The broadsword came at a fierce speed, but Shen Yu's reaction was indifferent.

He simply pointed his fingers like a sword, and with a light flick, the golden sword struck the blade, transforming into a golden streak of light.

A clanging sound of metal rang out, and the golden ring broadsword trembled twice, its crimson and black energies becoming somewhat disordered, before flying out uncontrollably.

The Zhanjin Sword nimbly spun in the air, its momentum shifting from defense to offense, shooting towards Jin Anping's throat like a golden rainbow.

Jin Anping was not about to sit idly by and wait for his death. He immediately made a hand seal and shouted, "Soul Spring Blood, show yourself!"

In an instant, a thick, bloody crimson pool of blood surged up in front of Jin Anping, churning endlessly.

Within the sea of ​​blood, one could vaguely see vengeful spirits and vengeful ghosts struggling in agony, their mournful howls echoing through the air. Furthermore, there were also stark white bones and human heads floating among them, a truly horrifying sight.

The golden rainbow formed by the Zhanjin Sword was stuck to the strange blood as soon as it came into contact with it, as if it had fallen into a quagmire.

The sword's spiritual light flickered violently, and it cried out in agony. No matter how much Shen Yu urged it, it could not advance even an inch further.

Jin Anping sneered, and with a thought, the pool of blood suddenly surged and swelled, its volume expanding several times over.

The crimson waves surged several meters high, like a ferocious beast opening its blood-red maw, rushing towards Shen Yu with an aura of devouring everything.

In an instant, a foul stench arose, making people nauseous.

The Kaiyuan disciples had never seen such a horrifying sight before. They turned pale with fright and cried out as they retreated back into the courtyard, afraid of being splashed by the blood.

Even Gu Feizheng felt his scalp tingle and was secretly alarmed.

Jin Anping's Blood Sea Demon Art is even more powerful than what we've seen before!

If I were to face this attack, I would probably have to sacrifice at least a mid-grade protective talisman to possibly block it.

Shen Yu secretly praised him, "As expected of a disciple of a major sect, his foundation is profound. He is far more powerful than those small fry he encountered before."

In the blink of an eye, he realized that ordinary methods would be ineffective, so he immediately stopped holding back.

Within the dantian and dantian, sixty-six blazing hot currents swirled rapidly, and boundless spiritual energy surged and converged.

He opened his mouth and spat out a dark red storm that roared out instantly!

The storm carried flames, was extremely hot, distorted the air and scorched the ground, and emitted a rumbling roar.

The surging blood was immediately shrunk by the fierce fire and wind blowing it head-on.

The viscous blood evaporated almost entirely in an instant, and a foul-smelling red mist rose up, clearly being completely suppressed by the extremely yang and intense wind and fire power.

Gu Feizheng was shocked, and Wei Qingjun was also dumbfounded. Both of them were clearly stunned by the power of this Taoist technique and were speechless for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Jin Anping's face twitched, his eyes filled with pain.

This Soul Spring Blood was hard-won; it took him many years and countless lives to painstakingly refine it, and every bit lost required a great deal of time to make up for.

"You little brat! Die!"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Anping’s right index finger suddenly emitted a deep purple light, which, after only a moment, transformed into a “blood diamond” as hard as black iron.

His fingers, flesh and bone alike, detached instantly, tearing through the air like a stray arrow, pointing directly at Shen Yu's brow.

This is precisely his trump card, the Bone-Corroding Yin Sha Finger!

Shen Yu had long known the power of this move and remained on guard.

Seeing the blood diamond approaching, he remained calm, pushed his left palm forward, and a glint of light flashed in his palm. A crystal-clear Xuan Talisman, filled with divine light and dense runes, immediately appeared, meeting the oncoming blood diamond head-on.

The two collided, the Xuanlu light flashed wildly, and the talisman light flickered and died. It only lasted for less than a breath before it "cracked" into dust!

Although this Xuanlu has integrated many magical seeds and is quite powerful, it is still somewhat lacking in strength when facing Jin Anping's trump card!

The blood diamond paused only briefly, its malevolent light barely diminishing. It was about to pierce Shen Yu's brow and shatter his mind and spirit!

Gu Feizheng, Wei Qingjun, Cao Yancheng and the others had already closed their eyes, not daring to look anymore. Although they wanted to help, they were not strong enough and knew they could not play a significant role.

At the critical moment, Shen Yu's eyes suddenly blazed with purple light, like two purple magic lamps!

A violent and malevolent aura emanated from his skin, quickly covering his entire body.

With the blessing of the Purple Fiend, his muscles and bones instantly became as hard as steel, and his strength was enough to uproot mountains.

Faced with the deadly blood diamond that was already at his brow, Shen Yu did not dodge at all, and his palms were instantly wrapped with thick purple evil energy.

He let out a deep shout, exerted force with both arms, and slammed his fist forward with lightning speed!
