When the three peak grandmasters made their move, they unleashed a devastating power that shook heaven and earth. Blades clashed amidst a sea of blood, and at the center of it all stood a young figure.

The peerless grandmasters, such formidable beings, turned solemn.

They realized that facing the combined assault of the three major powers, even if they survived, they would not emerge unscathed. Escaping would be difficult.

Hu Hai's expression grew serious as he stood up. The black scabbard sword trembled by his side, as if poised to be drawn at any moment.

Roar!

A dragon's cry resounded, and a golden dragon roared into the swirling blades.

All the experts felt a moment of dizziness, as if they saw mountains and rivers enveloping everything on the battlefield, with the golden dragon spiraling with overwhelming might.

"What sword technique is this?"

Xu Yan swung his sword, his aura surging. Primal energy circulated, and a dazzling radiance enveloped him. Faintly visible was an illusory dragon shadow coiling around him, reminiscent of mountains and rivers.

"Today, I shall slay the Demon Lord of Fire outside Canglan Island!"

Xu Yan's voice resounded grandly.

With a single sword strike, he aimed for the Demon Lord of Fire.

With a clap of his left hand, eighteen golden dragons roared, attacking Yin Jue and another figure in black robes.

"Arrogant!"

The Demon Lord of Fire snorted coldly.

His eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and a viscous blood aura enveloped him, as if blood covered him entirely, emitting a dense sizzling sound.

Chilling aura pervaded, and flames surged, as if consuming him.

The aura of bloodlust and violence surged from the Demon Lord of Fire. His aura intensified, and his curved blade grew even more crimson.

"Kill!"

The Demon Lord of Fire roared, seeming to have lost his sanity, unleashing a frenzy of attacks.

"With this sword, I shall slay the Demon Lord of Fire!"

Xu Yan, however, remained indifferent as he struck with his sword.

Mountains and rivers seemed to collapse, as if dooming all living beings.

All attacks were annihilated within the mountains and rivers. The land shattered continuously, as if about to be crushed. Suddenly, with a deafening roar, the surroundings trembled, and a thunderous light seemed to appear from the void.

It transformed into a sword, like a divine might, like heavenly punishment, shaking the surroundings before striking down!

The Thunderous Sword of the Myriad Manifestations!

"Not good!"

Yin Jue's expression turned horrified. His aura erupted, and with the other protector, they instantly merged their energies, unleashing a powerful onslaught that shattered the eighteen golden dragons.

The curved blade slashed through the air, intending to rescue the Demon Lord of Fire.

At the same time, with a thunderous boom, a pillar of water shot into the sky.

A figure in black robes emerged from the water, carrying a powerful momentum, intending to kill Xu Yan and rescue the Demon Lord of Fire.

At this moment, the Sword of Thunder, like divine punishment, descended.

Black-robed figures attacked from Xu Yan's left, right, and behind, aiming to strike him.

Either he slays the Demon Lord of Fire and suffers severe injuries, or he defends against the attacks and becomes completely surrounded.

The onlooking experts watched in horror as the Thunderous Sword descended, terrifying like divine punishment, seemingly the nemesis of all evil, dispelling all darkness.

It seemed to be enacting divine punishment upon the enemies!

The Demon Lord of Fire cultivated a method of killing, inherently evil and dark, perfectly countered by the Thunderous Sword.

With this strike, the infamous Demon Lord of Fire seemed destined to fall!

However, apart from the two black-robed figures who had already attacked, there was unexpectedly another person hiding underwater who now made a move.

If Xu Yan were to strike down the Demon Lord of Fire with this sword, he would inevitably face attacks from three sides, suffering severe injuries even if he survived!

The battlefield changed in an instant.

Boom!

Suddenly, a golden figure shot out from the water, and terrifying blade light slashed towards the black-robed figure emerging from the water.

"Your opponent is me!"

Meng Chong grinned ferociously as he attacked.

This strike would undoubtedly be fatal if the opponent didn't defend!

The black-robed figure's expression changed drastically as he hastily countered the attack.

Boom!

Meng Chong's body swelled up, tearing apart his loose clothing. He sheathed his blade, and with the force of thunder, his fists surged forward violently, rushing towards the black-robed figure.

"Come, let's have a thrilling battle!"

His fists pounded fiercely, surrounded by golden light. The ferocity of the Great Sun's Golden Body was fully displayed at this moment.

The black-robed figure was horrified. Under Meng Chong's fierce onslaught, he retreated, leaving the battlefield in an instant. The two clashed elsewhere.

Meng Chong's fists unleashed violent winds and thunder, his robust body exuding immense pressure. Each punch was like a raging storm, relentlessly approaching the black-robed figure.

Facing the black-robed figure's attacks, he only defended against seventy or eighty percent of the force, allowing the rest to hit him directly.

He resisted with his formidable physique.

His savage attacks were relentless, akin to a ferocious beast in human form, causing the black-robed figure to panic.

At this moment, the black-robed figure paled in horror.

What kind of monster was this? His flesh and blood body was terrifyingly powerful, almost comparable to a treasure.

Each of his attacks was simply defended against, weakening slightly, while the rest of the force struck directly.

What made him tremble with fear was that even if the weakened attacks were to hit any peak grandmaster, they would suffer severe injuries if not death.

Not a single peak grandmaster dared to ignore such attacks.

To disregard such a powerful attack, the bald youth seemed completely unfazed. What terrified him even more was that when the attacks hit the opponent, they only left shallow marks.

For a moment, the black-robed man's mind was in chaos. He continued to slash out terrifying blade rays while frantically retreating, trying to shake off Meng Chong.

But no matter how frantically he retreated, how he dodged, Meng Chong always followed closely behind. Punch after punch, his attacks were ferocious and relentless, like a humanoid savage beast, incredibly fierce.

On the Cang River, all the experts were horrified.

The strength of that bald youth's physical body was unexpectedly terrifying, almost comparable to a treasure.

How could there be such a formidable physical body in this world?

How could a flesh-and-blood body compare to a treasure? How was it cultivated?

While everyone was shocked by Meng Chong's ferocity and his incredibly powerful physical body, the Thunderous Sword descended like divine punishment.

Boom!

Under this sword, all of the Demon Lord of Fire's attacks, the viscous blood waves, were completely dispelled.

The sword swept away all darkness.

"No..."

A short, incredulous voice sounded, and under this sword, the Demon Lord of Fire's body turned into ashes, dissolving into nothingness.

At the same time, Yin Jue and the protector's attacks also aimed towards Xu Yan.

However, in an instant, Xu Yan's figure disappeared from its original position, already appearing beside the protector.

Body Shifting!

A sword strike fell.

Roar!

Dragon's roar echoed through the mountains and rivers!

In the dragon's roar, the protector felt a moment of dizziness, as if entering a realm of mountains and rivers.

"Not good!"

He was horrified. What sword technique was this? It could actually disturb his mind.

Boom!

A cold aura rose with the blade light, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, directly using a martial art secret technique.

Xu Yan struck again with his sword, the Sword of Myriad Manifestations of the Mountains and Rivers!

Just as the protector broke free from the influence of the mountains and rivers, he seemed to see the mountains and rivers collapse, and all living beings were slaughtered by the sword.

Puff!

A sword fell, and his body disintegrated into pieces, eventually turning into ashes and dissipating.

Yin Jue had already rushed over to rescue, but it was too late.

One sword killed the Demon Lord of Fire, two swords killed the protector. The battle lasted only for an instant, and the outcome was already irreversible.

What terrifying strength!

Yin Jue's expression was horrified, and his eyes even showed a hint of fear. If this youth before him were to continue growing, he dared not imagine how powerful he would become.

To aspire to the peak of the martial path in the Inner Domain?

Escape!

He must escape!

Only the Tower Master could kill Xu Yan!

Yin Jue assessed his strength, slightly superior to the Demon Lord of Fire, but limited in strength. In a real life-and-death battle, while he could kill the Demon Lord of Fire, he would also suffer severe injuries.

And the Demon Lord of Fire, possibly due to his martial art, was restrained by the sword-like thunderous punishment, hence unable to even withstand a single strike.

Yin Jue pondered, even if he could withstand one strike, what about the second, the third?

Xu Yan seemed relaxed and at ease, clearly possessing more than just the power of one sword.

Originally intending to attack Xu Yan, Yin Jue's figure twisted, madly retreating, intending to escape.

"No enemy can escape from my sight!"

Xu Yan snorted coldly, his figure disappearing from its original position, instantly catching up to Yin Jue.

A sword strike fell!

The mountains and rivers collapsed, the Thunderous Sword descended like divine punishment.

Yin Jue's expression turned pale with terror.

Facing this sword head-on, he realized the terror of this strike.

The crisis of death enveloped him.

As if the mountains and rivers were collapsing, the vast and mighty power, like divine punishment, aimed to obliterate him completely!

The curved blade shattered, turning into an intense bone-chilling aura.

Yin Jue's body instantly shriveled, and an extremely strong blade light surged from his body.

Instead of resisting the thunderous punishment-like sword, he directed the blade light towards Xu Yan.

"Hmph!"

Xu Yan snorted coldly, striking out with a palm.

The golden dragon roared, its dragon might vast and magnificent, its dragon eyes gleaming brightly, a tremendous anger surged from the golden dragon.

The fiercely unmatched golden dragon charged towards the blade light.

Boom!

Yin Jue's dying blow, although it shattered most of the golden dragon, it was only this much and was blocked by a palm.

He was full of disbelief.

A palm strike from the dragon could completely block his dying blow?

Just how strong is Xu Yan!

Puff!

Yin Jue's body turned charred, dispersing into ashes!

Xu Yan stood with his sword, proudly surveying the surroundings, leaving all the powerful individuals stunned!

The youth was like a dragon, dominating the world!

Boom!

On the other side of the battle, it appeared even more violent.

In the eyes of the powerful individuals, Meng Chong's figure had already approached the black-robed man. In the horrified gaze of the latter, Meng Chong grinned, clasping his arms together and embracing the opponent in front of him.

Puff!

The powerful individuals swallowed their saliva, their faces full of shock. This was simply a humanoid savage beast!

Ferocious and violent, unreachable by anyone!

Meng Chong's arms clasped together, embracing the black-robed man, suddenly tightened. The terrifying strength of his physical body directly crushed the black-robed man into pieces.

Cracking sounds echoed from afar.

The black-robed man's body shattered, turning into pieces, then into ashes and dissipating.

Gulp!

All the powerful individuals present were shocked.

How ferocious and violent! Truly a humanoid savage beast! He directly hugged the person to death, crushed him into pieces, the terrifying scorching aura, not even a drop of blood splattered from the enemy, they turned into pieces and dissipated into ashes!

Too violent, too ferocious.

"This is too fierce!"

Hu Shan muttered in shock.

Xie Lingfeng sighed, feeling fortunate to have been noticed by the senior and accepted as his disciple. 

Meng Chong's fierceness was undeniable this time.

He directly used his formidable physical body to crush a peak grandmaster.

Perhaps, this was the first peak grandmaster to be crushed like this in history.

Of course, Meng Chong's quick victory was also due to Xu Yan's consecutive killing of three peak grandmasters. The black-robed man was in a state of panic, filled with fear, and was not focused on the battle, exposing vulnerabilities that Meng Chong seized upon.

But Meng Chong's strength was already enough to contend with peak grandmasters.

Hu Hairen was dumbfounded. Where did this monster come from? This young man was too strong.

Looking at Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan, his eyes were strange. Even he, who was so powerful, was no match for this young man. Was there any need for him to intervene?

On the Cang River, silence prevailed.

All the powerful individuals remained silent.

Fu Yuntian stared at Meng Chong. Where did this bald youth come from?

"Master Xu's junior brother is unexpectedly so powerful!"

Yun Miaomiao exclaimed in astonishment.

And on a small boat, a charming woman gazed at Meng Chong, her eyes showing infatuation.

"This is a real man, not someone those pretty boys can compare to. What kind of trash likes pretty boys? Too violent, too fierce, ah, I really like it!"

The woman covered her chest, her eyes filled with admiration for that burly figure...

Xu Yan stood with his sword on the Cang River, arrogantly surveying the surroundings. "I am Sword God Xu Yan. Is there anyone else who dares to challenge me, covet my Canglan Island, or seek to kill me? Step forward!"

On the Cang River, no one responded.

Even some boats, fearing being misunderstood because they were closer to Xu Yan than others, were now frantically retreating.

To step forward at this moment would mean certain death, wouldn't it?

"No one dares to step forward? From today onwards, without permission, no one is allowed to set foot on Canglan Island. Otherwise, it will be considered a provocation!"

Xu Yan declared loudly.

No one dared to say a word of dissent!

The second prince of Dayue Kingdom spoke in a deep voice at this moment, saying to those around him, "The relationship between Yin Hong and me must not be leaked. Anyone who knows about this must be taken care of!"

If Xu Yan were to find out that Yin Hong was his man, and came looking for trouble in a fit of anger, wouldn't that be disastrous?

Provoking such a powerful enemy, his father, the emperor, would certainly abandon him immediately and expel him from the royal family. That's how realistic it was!

"Just two or three swords!"

The Peerless Grandmaster muttered to himself.

Yun Miaomiao snorted and said, "Master, I told you for your own good, but you didn't believe me. If it weren't for me pleading for mercy, you would have been killed by Master Xu with just two or three swords!"

The Peerless Grandmaster glared at his disciple, extremely angry. She was truly a rebellious disciple, thinking only of Xu Yan in her heart, not even her own master!

"This battle was really satisfying."

Meng Chong rubbed his head, excitedly walking over.

This battle truly showcased the essence and ferocity of physical martial arts.

"Junior brother, with the strength of your physical body, ordinary grandmasters won't be able to harm you."

Xu Yan sighed.

Physical martial arts, truly ferocious, showing a violent and fierce momentum, like a humanoid beast.
