Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Seeing this, Gu Chen almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Another wave of enemies has arrived.

It's from Haoran Academy.

There were still more than thirty people, and I hadn't even tried to take any of their resources yet.

There must be quite a few.

I'm going to make a fortune again today.

Dongfang Ming ignored the crowd's discussions, his gaze remaining coldly fixed on Gu Chen, his tone condescending and extremely arrogant:

"Island nations only know some underhanded and treacherous methods."

"Today, I will use the power of a true grandmaster to crush all your illusions, and show you islanders that before absolute power, all your insidious tricks are futile!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Ming stopped wasting words and his vast Confucian and Daoist true essence erupted, unleashing his full combat power at the early stage of the third-grade Grandmaster realm without reservation!

The air over the entire lake instantly froze, and the heavy pressure of a grandmaster suppressed all directions!

He raised his hand and pointed, and a righteous aura gathered at his fingertip, with wind-elemental true essence swirling around it. A highly refined Confucian and Taoist sword aura burst forth from the sky!

The third-rank top-level martial art, Hao Ran Ting Feng Zhi!

This is an authentic third-grade master martial art, containing the suppressive power of Confucianism and Taoism. It uses the power of the soul to influence the surrounding world, making its killing power extremely strong and far surpassing all fourth-grade martial arts!

With a single point, righteous energy surged forth, overwhelming the forces of heaven and earth, carrying the absolute crushing power of a grandmaster, and aimed directly at Gu Chen's brow.

Its speed was extremely fast, and it used the power of its soul to manipulate the overall situation and secretly lock the space, giving no one a chance to dodge.

Faced with this overwhelming Grandmaster-level third-grade martial arts, Gu Chen's expression remained calm and composed.

Dongfang Ming is indeed stronger than Ye Ning and Lin Feng, with a more solid foundation, a better physique, and a more mature use of divine soul power, but he is only at the early stage of Grandmaster.

After breaking through to the late stage of Core Formation and comprehending the Blood Surge Thousandfold, his overall combat strength has long been unmatched below the late stage of Grandmaster!

Gu Chen raised his sword, his crimson true essence flowing around his body, causing the blood-red sword to gleam with an intense cold light.

The first move of the "Nine Blades of Blood Transformation" is: Blood Stains a Thousand Peaks!

The perfect sword aura erupted once more, and the crimson sword light soared into the sky, the condensed and domineering killing intent colliding head-on with the mighty world-suppressing finger!

Boom!

The forces of the blade and the finger collided with a deafening roar!

The vast Confucian and Taoist righteous energy, capable of suppressing the power of heaven and earth of a Grandmaster below the third rank, was instantly torn apart and shattered in the face of the ultimate blood-red killing intent!

The condensed finger power of Haoran Listening to the Wind Finger crumbled inch by inch, unable to withstand the domineering power of Bloodstained Thousand Peaks!

"They actually blocked it!"

Dongfang Ming's pupils narrowed slightly, and for the first time, the arrogance on his face changed, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that his authentic third-grade grandmaster martial arts would be completely defeated by a rogue cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation!

"He's got some skills."

Dongfang Ming spoke calmly, his tone still arrogant, but with a hint of seriousness: "No wonder he dares to be so arrogant, but that's all he is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind arose around Dongfang Ming!

hum!

Extreme wind-elemental true essence surged wildly, his aura soared, and his advanced physique was fully activated!

Wind Spirit Body.

Fully open!

Pale blue wind patterns covered his entire body, and his speed, strength, and explosiveness instantly doubled!

His aura surged wildly, breaking through the shackles from the early stage of the Grandmaster realm and skyrocketing to the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm!

With the blessing of the Wind Spirit Body, the Dao principles doubled, and the combat power surged, truly stepping into the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm!

"Since you seem to have some ability, I'll play along with you properly."

"Let me show you the true strength of a top-tier prodigy!"

Dongfang Ming moved instantly, transforming into a streak of azure light. His speed was so great that a gale howled and tore through the air!

The righteous energy in his hand gathered into a palm, and the palm wind, carrying endless wind blades, swept over the sky and crushed everything!

A third-grade martial art, the Mighty Wind Palm!

The palm strike was vast and powerful, with wind blades filling the sky. It was both upright and extremely sharp, covering the entire lake surface and sealing off all of Gu Chen's escape space. It carried the terrifying pressure of a mid-stage Grandmaster and forcefully suppressed Gu Chen!

The wind howled, the palm strikes were overwhelming, and the world was filled with monstrous wind blades, a deadly trap!

The onlookers were completely breathless, their hearts pounding in their throats.

"At the mid-stage of Grandmaster level, Dongfang Ming activated his Wind Spirit Body, doubling his combat power!"

"This is truly unsolvable; it's an absolute crushing defeat!"

"Throughout history, a Core Formation cultivator has never had a chance against a mid-stage Grandmaster!"

"No matter how powerful this rogue cultivator is, his story should come to an end here!"

The Qingyun Sword Sect disciples in mid-air were filled with excitement, staring intently at the battlefield, waiting to see Gu Chen crushed to death with a single palm strike.

And some people who had seen Gu Chen fight in the Flame Mountains.

But they don't think that way.

"Although Dongfang Ming has activated his physique and reached the mid-stage of Grandmaster, this rogue cultivator has even stronger sword techniques. Even his soul attack secret technique was useless. Dongfang Ming probably can't win."

On the lake.

Faced with the overwhelming pressure of the wind-swept palms, Gu Chen's eyes remained cold, showing no sign of panic.

Mid-stage Grandmaster!

They have some strength, but it's still not enough in front of him!

Gu Chen's true essence surged wildly within his body, and his Void Saint Body was secretly activated. His physical body and bones roared and groaned as terrifying power accumulated and exploded!

The Blood-Transforming Blade in his hand shone brightly with crimson, blood patterns flowing across its blade, and its killing intent was fully unleashed!

The second move of the "Nine Blades of Blood Transformation" is to cleave through a thousand troops!

With a single horizontal slash, a thousand armies can be broken and ten thousand enemies can be slain!

This move can be used for all offensive techniques in the mid-stage of a Grandmaster, and its power is absolutely unparalleled!

A crimson sword light swept across the sky, like a crimson galaxy traversing the lake, advancing relentlessly and shattering all obstacles!

Boom!

A deafening roar shattered the heavens and the earth once again!

The palm strikes of the Vast and Mighty Wind Palm, the endless wind blades, and the righteous energy were all shattered and swept away in an instant, like paper, before the terrifying blade strike that could cut through thousands of troops!

The domineering crimson blade momentum was inexhaustible, carrying terrifying power that could crush a mid-stage Grandmaster, and slashed fiercely towards Dongfang Ming!

Dongfang Ming's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief!

With Wind Spirit Body fully activated, he possesses the combat power of a mid-stage Grandmaster and a top-tier third-grade palm technique!

They were completely crushed once again!

The opponent's swordsmanship and physical strength were simply outrageous!

At this moment, the arrogance in his heart finally cracked, and for the first time, he truly looked at the rogue cultivator in front of him!

"How is this possible? How could someone at the Core Formation stage possess such power!"

Dongfang Ming let out a low roar, unable to believe what he was seeing. He retreated at lightning speed, simultaneously channeling all his wind-elemental true energy to condense layers of thick wind blade shields in an attempt to forcefully resist!

puff!

The shield shattered instantly!

The remaining force of the blade struck his shoulder hard, instantly leaving a bloody gash. Blood splattered, and Dongfang Ming staggered backward dozens of feet, his shoulder throbbing with pain, his blood and qi surging, and his breathing becoming noticeably disordered!

He's injured!

The top genius of Haoran Academy, with the combat power of a mid-stage Grandmaster, was actually seriously injured by a rogue cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

All the onlookers were dumbfounded, standing there in shock, their minds completely blank!

"This defies common sense and completely reverses the natural order!"

"Late-stage Core Formation cultivator crushing a mid-stage Grandmaster prodigy? That's outrageous!"

"In all my life, I've never seen such outrageous combat power that surpasses one's level!"

"Dongfang Ming has been injured; a top-tier prodigy has been defeated!"

"What kind of monster is this rogue cultivator?!"

Shock, horror, and awe filled the air as discussions rose and fell, completely overturning everyone's understanding of combat power and cultivation levels beyond their level!

In mid-air, Dongfang Ming steadied himself, blood trickling down his shoulder as excruciating pain coursed through his entire body.
