Previously,when blocking Su Xin on the official road,Jue Yan did not reveal his own cultivation,so both Su Xin and others considered Jue Yan to be a powerful God Palace realm warrior.
But now,as Jue Yan reveals his strength and identity,it immediately shocks the entire scene,and Su Xin also shows a serious expression.With his current strength,even a warrior in the God Palace realm,as long as they are not on the ranking list,Su Xin dares to fight without using consumables.
However,it's different for warriors in the Elemental Spirit realm.A warrior of this level,even with consumables,doesn't have the slightest confidence in defeating them.The gap between heaven and earth is not that easy to cross.
The bystanders around also look at Su Xin with sympathetic eyes.This ranked powerhouse is probably the shortest-lived one in the history of the ranking list.They acknowledge Su Xin's strength,but any innate warrior in front of an Elemental Spirit realm powerhouse does not have the qualification to be strong.
Even"Dao Fool"Lin Changhe,ranked first on the list,can debate and silence a Elemental Spirit realm powerhouse with his profound martial arts.However,he cannot surpass a Elemental Spirit realm martial master.
Martial master,this title perfectly interprets the strength of Elemental Spirit realm powerhouses.Only when you reach the Elemental Spirit realm can you truly comprehend the meaning of martial arts and become a master-level existence.
Jue Yan doesn't waste time talking with Su Xin anymore;instead,he directly slashes with his sword.In his view,Su Xin has already harbored evil intentions and is deeply immersed in demonic nature,beyond the reach of verbal persuasion.Since gentle advice won't work,he'll use his own sword to guide him!
As a powerhouse in the Elemental Spirit realm,Jue Yan's sword has an earth-shattering momentum.The sword is like a ghost and god,with brilliant Buddha light,but it contains endless killing intent!
Su Xin's heart trembles.Jue Yan is only in the Divine Transformation realm among the Elemental Spirit realms,but his strength is comparable to Yanhuan Nine in the Fusion Spirit realm!
In the past,the elderly Yanhuan Nine in Shangshan City could battle four Elemental Spirit realm martial master experts in the Southern Wulin,but those four are nothing compared to Jue Yan today.
Facing this sword,Su Xin has no courage to face it head-on,so he immediately retreats,hastily retreating!The Wind God Leg is executed,and in an instant,it's like a gust of wind sweeping through clouds,not for attacking but for retreating.
While retreating,Su Xin kicks continuously,using the force of the Wind God Leg to counteract the force,but he is directly blasted away by the sword energy,and a stream of blood flows from his mouth.
"What a wonderful lightness technique,"Jue Yan murmurs,feeling that he has underestimated Su Xin.No innate warrior has been able to withstand his sword so far,but Su Xin not only withstands it but also seems to have suffered little damage.
Of course,Jue Yan is only slightly surprised.Even if the martial arts of innate warriors are mysterious,in such a huge level difference,they are useless.
Jue Yan once again slashes with his huge beheading horse sword.The pitch-black beheading horse sword seems to be able to devour light,as the brilliance within several meters around it is completely swallowed,as if it were a black hole rushing towards Su Xin.
"Cutting off all evil in the world,alleviating the endless suffering of sentient beings!"
As the black hole approaches,boundless Buddha light bursts out.Although it is compassionate,it contains endless killing intent!
Su Xin's figure quickly retreats,and the Wind God Leg is swift as the wind.His feet create a series of afterimages like a whirlwind,retreating backward.However,Jue Yan's sword momentum sticks to him like maggots on bones,and Su Xin has no choice but to make a move.
The Youlong Sword slashes with a dazzling blood light.Su Xin,covered in blood,seems to have turned into a blood-colored figure with soaring blood qi!
Jue Yan coldly snorts,"Such a bizarre sword technique,you have indeed taken the evil path.Shatter for me!"
The black hole tears apart the sword light formed by the blood river,and the remaining force directly sends Su Xin flying,making him spit out a mouthful of blood.
While flying backward,Su Xin flicks his fingers three times.One finger is swift as lightning,one finger is hot as fire,and one finger is ice-cold and fierce.The three types of finger force rush towards Jue Yan,but Jue Yan just opens his mouth and roars,performing the Shaolin Lion's Roar!
The strong sound waves visibly shatter the finger force of Su Xin's Astonishing God Finger.Su Xin,who was at the forefront,has blood oozing from his mouth,nose,and ears.
In a series of moves,Su Xin can't even block the opponent's moves,let alone evade.Su Xin squints his eyes,using the force of the Wind God Leg not to retreat but to advance,actually charging towards Jue Yan.
Jue Yan is stunned.Has this guy gone crazy?
But Su Xin's target at this moment is not Jue Yan,but Zhu Yancheng,who has been watching the excitement on the side!
The Blood River Divine Finger points out,and the blood lines are like sword rays,directly shooting towards Zhu Yancheng.Zhu Yancheng's strength has not yet reached the innate realm,how can he escape Su Xin's Blood River Divine Finger?Moreover,even if he reaches the innate realm,he cannot escape it.
Seeing Su Xin daring to attack at this moment,Jue Yan was instantly furious.However,Su Xin's Blood River Divine Finger had already been unleashed.Even if Jue Yan could kill Su Xin,Zhu Yancheng would undoubtedly not survive.
For Jue Yan,saving lives comes first.Therefore,he had to abandon Su Xin and turn to save Zhu Yancheng.But at this moment,there was a glint of malice in Su Xin's eyes.When he went to deal with Zhu Yancheng,he had already exchanged for a consumable item,and it was the perfect time to use it.
Su Xin sheathed his sword,even though he didn't have an actual sword;what he unleashed was a hand blade!In an instant,flames erupted,as if the end of the world,devouring everything!
A slash tore through the void,burning the heavens and boiling the seas!
Su Xin had previously used this Flame Blade in the Postnatal Realm,but now,with his perfected power in the Innate Spiritual Realm,the difference in power compared to when he was in the Postnatal Realm was like night and day.
"Esoteric Flame Blade!"Jue Yan's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.Even he,facing this world-burning intent,felt a deep threat.
Jue Yan hurriedly turned to defend himself.A golden aura erupted around him,forming a golden shield.The shield clashed with the Flame Blade,creating intense true energy flames.
The onlookers and warriors,upon realizing that Jue Yan was a martial master in the Elemental Spirit realm,spontaneously retreated hundreds of feet.Seeing Su Xin,a martial artist in the Pre-Heaven Realm,displaying such formidable power against an Elemental Spirit realm expert left them dumbfounded.
After dozens of breaths,the flames dissipated.Though Jue Yan hadn't been injured by Su Xin's Flame Blade,he looked somewhat disheveled.His red monk robe was burnt in places,and his bushy beard had become singed.
At this moment,Jue Yan's face was not black from the flames but from anger.Beside him,Zhu Yancheng's forehead had been pierced by the Blood River Divine Finger,and he was already dead.
However,there was no sign of Su Xin anywhere,clearly having fooled Jue Yan.Considering his identity as a martial master from Shaolin Temple,being played by Su Xin,a Pre-Heaven Realm martial artist,made Jue Yan wish he could roar to the sky in frustration if not for the many witnesses.
As Jue Yan was about to continue pursuing Su Xin,a monk clad in a kasaya swiftly approached from a distance.Every step covered dozens of yards,and in an instant,he stood in front of Jue Yan.
Seeing the arriving monk,Jue Yan quickly clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect and said,"Greetings,Master Xuanming."
This old monk belonged to the Xuan lineage in Shaolin Temple,at the same seniority level as the abbot Xuan Ku.Moreover,he was the head of the Arhat Hall and a martial master in the Yang Spirit realm,Jue Yan's immediate superior.
Observing Jue Yan's disheveled appearance and Zhu Yancheng's lifeless body on the ground,Xuanming sighed and asked,"Did you engage with Su Xin?What was the result?"
With a red face,Jue Yan replied,"Su Xin,despite his young age,is cunning and managed to escape my grasp."
Xuanming sighed again,his expression stern."Jue Ming,didn't I warn you before?Do you take the abbot's prohibition lightly?Now that Shaolin Temple has severed ties with those secular disciples completely,why do you still stand up for them?"
Jue Yan remained silent for a moment before saying,"I didn't stand up for those secular disciples.Su Xin's murderous aura is too heavy,his methods ruthless and malicious.Moreover,he's a wandering martial artist,showing signs of heading down the wrong path.If I don't bring him back to the temple to suppress and purify his murderous aura,there's a risk he might completely fall into the demonic path in the future."
"Nonsense!"Xuanming pointed at Jue Yan,frustrated."Don't use these excuses to deceive me.Can Su Xin be compared to others?He's ranked in the top thirty of the ranking list at such a young age,a prominent figure among the younger generation in the martial world.If nothing unexpected happens,he will undoubtedly become one of the leading figures in this generation's martial world,achieving the Elemental Spirit realm.If you had killed him this time,it would have been forgivable,but you let him escape,proving how outstanding and troublesome he is.After this incident,Su Xin will certainly hold a deep grudge against Shaolin Temple.You've brought us such a formidable enemy.Don't you understand your mistake?"
Jue Yan,however,remained stubborn."He's just in the Pre-Heaven Spiritual Realm.What storm can he stir up?I can take him down with another strike.This time,I'm sure I can kill him."
Shaking his head,Xuanming sighed,"Why don't you understand my point?Su Xin,at the Pre-Heaven Realm,can put you in such a sorry state.When he reaches the Elemental Spirit Realm,it's uncertain who will win.Moreover,if he could escape from you once,he can escape a second time.According to my information,Su Xin has already received an invitation from the Jiangnan Society and is preparing to go there.After Su Xin becomes famous at the Jiangnan Society,our actions today will become a joke of suppressing the younger generation in the martial world.Jue Yan,the trouble you've caused this time is significant.You've violated the abbot's order,and you've tarnished the reputation of Shaolin Temple.Come back to the temple with me and accept punishment."
