Complete one practice method every day

Chen Yue glanced coldly at Guo Xun, then casually swung his left hand forward, his palm swirling with internal energy, which struck the short halberd that whistled down.

"clang!"

The deafening clang of metal against metal was deafening. Guo Xun felt an indescribable, terrifying force emanating from the halberd. The heavy iron halberd, weighing tens of kilograms, was sent flying high into the air by this palm strike.

His hand was split open, blood gushing out, and he almost flew out of his grasp.

The main gate is wide open!

As Chen Yue's right fist knocked away the short halberd, it landed squarely on the center of Guo Xun's exposed chest.

"puff!"

The dull, heart-pounding impact sounded, and Guo Xun's eyes suddenly bulged, filled with extreme pain and bewilderment.

He clearly felt a destructive force invade his chest, instantly shattering his sternum and even penetrating through his body.

With a "rip," the clothes on his back burst open, revealing a clear outline of a fist mark protruding from the skin.

Guo Xun coughed up blood, his feet left the ground, and he was thrown backward, crashing heavily onto the barren grass several feet away. He rolled several times before collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud.

At this moment, Gu Yiqiu had already fled frantically into the distance.

He couldn't understand how the junior, who had been barely able to hold on by him just moments before, could suddenly become a completely different person.

That immense power, and that eerie tiger roar that directly assaulted his mind... all of this completely exceeded his understanding of the Bone Forging Realm, and even of the ordinary Marrow Refining Realm!

"Was he hiding his strength the whole time? Deliberately toying with us? But what's the point? Does he have some kind of evil technique that allows him to grow stronger through battle?"

Countless chaotic, horrifying, and absurd thoughts clashed wildly in Gu Yiqiu's mind, driving him almost insane.

But the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything. He didn't even dare to look at Chen Yue again, instead focusing all his strength on his legs.

"Weren't you just saying you wanted me to go back to Youquan Prefecture with you? Why did you leave before you even finished speaking? This is not proper hospitality!"

Gu Yiqiu had barely rushed out ten feet when a voice sounded in his ear, as if it were right next to the back of his head.

Gu Yiqiu felt his hair stand on end and his scalp tingle instantly. His current speed and agility were already at the peak of his life, yet he was caught up so quickly.

Terrified, Gu Yiqiu's fighting instincts remained. He mustered his strength and tried to twist his body in mid-air to strike out with a palm, not to injure his enemy, but only to slow him down and try to gain a chance of survival.

But at that delicate moment, just as his body was about to turn around...

"roar!!!"

That deep, majestic, and terrifying tiger roar exploded once again.

Gu Yiqiu was prepared this time, desperately concentrating all his energy, even activating the Heart Nourishing Technique, which he had only practiced superficially, in an attempt to stabilize his mind and resist this strange sonic attack.

However, the howling sound easily penetrated all the mental defenses he had built and crashed hard into his consciousness.

"Buzz!"

Gu Yiqiu felt his mind go blank, and his consciousness experienced a very brief interruption.

His running figure suddenly stopped involuntarily. The sudden halt in high-speed movement caused the originally smooth flow of qi and blood in his body to become chaotic and conflicted, and he lost his balance and staggered.

Not only did he fail to turn around and strike back, he almost tripped over himself and fell forward.

The entire escape rhythm was completely disrupted.

Just as Gu Yiqiu faltered in that fatal moment, Chen Yue had already thrown a punch.

The fist was aimed directly at Gu Yiqiu's back, which was completely unguarded due to his forward lunge.

His fist pulsed with a fierce aura, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Gu Yiqiu had barely broken free from the shock of the Tiger's Roar that shattered the gods, and the moment his consciousness returned, he sensed that deadly fist.

He was terrified and screamed as he barely managed to turn over, frantically holding his injured left palm across his chest to defend himself.

However, in the rush, his body was unsteady and his blood and qi were disordered, so the force of this palm strike was less than half of what he would normally have.

"Snap!"

With another crisp cracking sound, Gu Yiqiu's already injured left palm shattered like rotten wood the moment it made contact with Chen Yue's fist, his finger and palm bones turning to dust.

Before the excruciating pain could fully reach Gu Yiqiu's brain, the fist had already shattered the barrier with overwhelming force, its momentum undiminished, and it slammed into Gu Yiqiu's heart.

This time, Gu Yiqiu had no time to block with any of his arms. In the face of life and death, he could only rely on the instincts he had developed over many years of fighting to desperately twist his body to the side by a tiny bit.

"puff!"

A dull, muffled impact rang out, like a heavy hammer striking a cowhide drum.

Chen Yue's fist slammed solidly into his chest!

"Ugh!"

Gu Yiqiu let out a shrill, desperate scream, his eyes instantly becoming bloodshot and bulging. He could clearly feel that not only was his chest shattered, but a punch had also penetrated his body, breaking his spine.

A large mouthful of thick blood mist gushed out of Gu Yiqiu's mouth. He was like a broken puppet with its strings cut, sent flying backward through the air by the punch, flying a full three zhang before crashing heavily to the ground.

It slid along the ground for several more feet, skimming over the withered grass and pebbles, before finally stopping, leaving a shocking trail of blood behind it.

Gu Yiqiu collapsed onto the cold ground, his spine completely broken, his lower body completely numb, his chest shattered, and even breathing became difficult.

Foamy blood kept gushing from his mouth. Gu Yiqiu tried to open his bloodshot eyes wide, staring unfocusedly at the cold, lonely moon above.

His eyes were filled with boundless pain and bewilderment, and a deep confusion that he could not resolve even in death.

He didn't understand.

I really don't understand!

How could a junior in the Bone Forging Realm possess such terrifying strength?

That fierce energy, that tiger's roar, that power... what exactly is going on?

Gu Yiqiu, a cultivator at the Marrow Refining Realm, actually died in the wilderness outside Youlin County, at the hands of an unknown young man.

The soft footsteps echoed clearly in the silent wilderness.

Chen Yue dragged Guo Xun's body step by step to Gu Yiqiu's side, whose eyes were bloodshot. He casually threw Guo Xun aside, making a dull thud as he landed.

Guo Xun was not dead yet. When Chen Yue delivered his final punch to Guo Xun's chest, he deliberately reduced the force of the blow and placed the punch slightly lower, avoiding the vital organ of the heart.

However, his sternum was completely shattered and his internal organs were severely damaged, leaving him, like Gu Yiqiu, completely unable to move and barely clinging to life.

Chen Yue stood beside Gu Yiqiu, the moonlight casting long shadows from behind, perfectly covering half of Gu Yiqiu's face, which was contorted with pain.

Chen Yue looked down at the Marrow Refining Realm expert, who had held the power of life and death just moments before, with a calm gaze.

Gu Yiqiu rolled his eyes, staring intently at Chen Yue, his voice hoarse with blood and foam as he hissed:

"You...you were just...playing with us?"
