"Heavenly Tyrant Mixed Element Sword? Blood Slaughter Triple Universe Shattering." With a light swing of the Purple Cloud in his hand, three dense streams, condensed like blood, shot out, confronting Lin Ya's Primordial Qi Palm with immense force.

Previously, Zhu Bufan had always been suppressing the Killing Intent surging within him. It was only during the life-or-death battle with Shui Mi that he unleashed the fury in his heart. But afterward, he continued to restrain himself, even during his encounters with creatures like Purple Cloud Swallowing Sky Python and Lian Xie, his subconscious never fully released its final shackles.

However, after a conversation with Wang Hui, a subtle change occurred in Zhu Bufan's heart. He no longer feared his own sentiments and even harbored a willingness to proactively embrace them. Today, Zhu Bufan finally let go of his long-held psychological restraints, manifesting the terrifying Blood-colored Soul Shadow.

The three released 'mini' blood serpents lacked the previous might of the Blood Slaughter Shattering Universe; they seemed no more harmful than the difference between a python and a small grass snake.

Yet it was these three seemingly harmless 'mini' blood serpents that drastically changed Lin Ya's expression, for he palpably felt the power they contained.

'Clang, clang, clang!'

The three mini blood serpents struck the Primordial Qi Palm, just less than two meters away from Zhu Bufan, in a rapid succession of under a half-second. Lin Ya, dumbfounded, watched as the purple-golden Qi Palm shattered instantly, breaking just as quickly as Lin Ya had previously broken through Zhu Bufan's Blood Slaughter Triple Waves.

"Extremely compressed Primordial Qi releasing Universe Shattering, and that precise judgment of the opponent's Martial Arts stance at the Primordial Qi Eye. Are you really Zhu Bufan?" Seeing Zhu Bufan effortlessly countering Lin Ya's technique, Emperor Yan sighed before asking him, but it was a rhetorical question as she, closely connected to Zhu Bufan's spirit, undoubtedly knew whether it was really him or not; she was merely astonished by Zhu Bufan's suddenly demonstrated mature observation skills and technical prowess.

Without responding to Emperor Yan, Zhu Bufan easily neutralized Lin Ya's Primordial Qi Palm and then stepped on the Fire Lotus, instantly appearing in front of Lin Ya. The Purple Cloud in his hand, carrying Snake-shaped Sword Energy, thrust straightforwardly towards Lin Ya's neck.

Faced with Zhu Bufan's sudden counterattack, Lin Ya was greatly alarmed. The Blood-colored Soul Shadow behind Zhu Bufan exerted an unimaginable pressure, and as the Purple Cloud was about to pierce through his throat, Lin Ya barely escaped the oppressive force by leaping backwards swiftly.

"Oh? Not bad, huh?" Seeing Lin Ya break free from the pressure and escape, Zhu Bufan revealed a mocking smile and softly spoke to Lin Ya, whose nostrils nearly flared in anger. Being forced to retreat by someone of much lower cultivation and hearing them speak as if praising a junior, was infuriating to anyone.

"Ha! Golden Dominator Palm? Golden Morning Ritual!" Despite his anger, Lin Ya dared not show a hint of negligence. The eerie Blood-colored Soul Shadow behind Zhu Bufan, coupled with the current overwhelming aura Zhu Bufan unleashed - stronger than his own despite being a lower level Martial Cultivator - was unheard of to Lin Ya!

Never underestimate the role of aura in a battle. The so-called victory without a fight mainly relies on aura; a powerful aura can deter the opponent from even conceiving the thought of resistance. Even if they resist, they often get influenced by the opponent's aura, causing them to hesitate and be unable to unleash their true strength.

Moreover, some highly cultivated Cultivators use aura as a weapon; a mere glare can break an opponent's Martial Arts techniques, a cold snort can unsettle minds and shake spirits, and there are even specialized aura-based Martial Arts - rare and difficult to find, but invariably powerful techniques!

Facing the reappearing golden Qi large palm, Zhu Bufan merely showed a disdainful sneer, not showing the solemnity of the first encounter. With a hearty laugh, he spoke to Lin Ya, "Hahahaha! Let me show you, how real Martial Arts should be executed, Heaven and Earth Shock? Heaven and Earth Indeterminate!"

As his fist engulfed in Poison Fire fell onto the golden Qi palm, Zhu Bufan's eyes suddenly erupted with a blood-colored divine light. With a twist of his fist, a Vortex force was immediately exerted.

"Heaven and Earth Shock? Reverse Heaven and Earth!" On contact with the golden Qi Palm, Zhu Bufan executed Reverse Heaven and Earth. The energy of the golden Qi Palm, without any reservation, was funneled into Zhu Bufan's body, then transferred to the Purple Cloud in his right hand. With a 'swoosh', a Snake-shaped Sword Energy imbued with the golden Qi of the Golden Morning Ritual ferociously rushed towards Lin Ya amidst his astonished gaze.

"How is this possible, how can this be possible?" After clumsily dodging the golden snake-shaped sword energy, Lin Ya was nearly driven to madness. He had seen Zhu Bufan's Reverse Heaven and Earth before, but he could never have imagined using it in such a way.

"There's nothing impossible. In my eyes, you just have a slightly higher cultivation level, nothing else is of merit." With an indifferent smile, Zhu Bufan's figure began to blur and with a flash, he was already in front of Lin Ya, not even using any martial arts, as the Purple Cloud directly struck at Lin Ya.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Facing Zhu Bufan's relentless attacks, Lin Ya could only passively dodge, not even able to defend himself. The sharpness of Purple Cloud was palpable without even needing to experience it.

For Lin Ya to be put in such an embarrassing situation by a martial cultivator of the Body Tempering Seventh Layer Heaven was unbelievable to the Black Dam Army present. The encounter had not lasted a few minutes, and Lin Ya was already in this state, how could this not shock these soldiers of the Black Dam Army?

What was even more despairing for them was that Huo Ling's offensive was more ferocious than actual high tides, with such powerful assaults that they could only defend, having no chance whatsoever to retaliate, and even their defense continued to weaken, losing soldiers since the battle began. Who could have imagined such an outcome?

"Roar! Red Star Palm? Rose Mist Swirl!!"

The rotating red primordial qi met the spine of the Purple Cloud, aiming to negate the force of the Purple Cloud as a counterattack. This move might have been effective against Zhu Bufan before he unleashed the Blood-colored Soul Shadow, but for Zhu Bufan at this moment, it was nothing short of a joke.

With a turn of the Purple Cloud in his hand, Lin Ya's palm met the sword peak of the Purple Cloud, not yet touching his palm, the intense cold edge caused Lin Ya to shiver uncontrollably. Without any hesitation, Lin Ya quickly retracted his left hand, but following this, Zhu Bufan's Purple Cloud struck again, its sharp point bringing with it a cutting wind that pained the face, forcing Lin Ya once again to reluctantly dodge.

Elsewhere, the fight between Wang Hui and Hei Qing raged fiercely. With the aid of Primordial Qi Flames, Wang Hui's combat strength was formidable, but being an alchemist meant his actual combat experience was limited, unlike Wu Yingzhong. Added to this was Hei Qing brandishing a pitch-black long spear, generating a fierce wind, and for the moment, the two were in a complete stalemate.

"Flame Spirit Golden Feather Palm? Sky Feather Soaring!" Fire flame feathers formed a hand blade like the wings of a soaring eagle, sweeping directly at Hei Qing. Faced with this strange yet highly lethal move, Hei Qing's long spear immediately danced through countless spear flowers, mingled with black primordial qi. The spear flowers exploded in less than a second.

"Destruction Spear? Wind Cloud Continuous Explosion!!"

The explosion of the spear flowers instantly obstructed Wang Hui's attack, and Hei Qing's long spear vibrated fiercely as he thrust it directly at Wang Hui. Yet even though Hei Qing stabbed towards Wang Hui, he dares not aim at vital points. Hei Qing was well aware of the status of an alchemist like Wang Hui and understood that even in this first layer, it wasn't entirely his call to make. So even though his stance was tough, he did not dare to actually take Wang Hui's life.

"Damn it!" Facing the thrusting spear of Hei Qing, Wang Hui momentarily had no effective way to respond, but he was well aware of his own advantage that Hei Qing would not dare to fatally strike him. Knowing this, Wang Hui did not hesitate to meet the incoming black spear and, gathering flames in his hands, Sky Feather Soaring struck again towards Hei Qing's shoulders.

"Wang Hui! Don't go too far! I have given you face in every way, yet you are so presumptuous, could it be that you really want to force me to kill?" Seeing his hands about to be cut off, Hei Qing was horrified, hurriedly pulling back his spear to block in front while loudly berating Wang Hui. He now realized that Wang Hui had a desperate resolve, although he did not understand why Wang Hui was so adamant at this time, but right now, Hei Qing indeed had the intention to give in.

"Hei Qing, who exactly is going too far, you should know. You've insulted me, Wang Hui, time and again, and provoked my friend, now you say that I am going too far? I'm not going to argue with you. Today is a battle for life at most, but it won't be easy for you to wish me dead!" Wang Hui, having brought out his fighting spirit ohne hesitation, no longer maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, and his face was full of fighting intent. The red primordial qi flames surged from his body, making him look like a Fire God descended from heaven. His fiery eagle wings, though not able to make him fly, had elevated his momentum to the extreme.

"You!" Hearing Wang Hui's words, Hei Qing's eyebrows crinkled so much they almost knotted, but just then, a familiar scream instantly seized all of Hei Qing's attention.

"Ah!!!" A piercing scream resounded, Hei Qing immediately turned around to look, and the first thing he saw upon turning was Zhu Bufan's Purple Cloud, ruthlessly chopping off Lin Ya's right hand from the arm, and naturally, the piercing scream was from Lin Ya whose arm was severed.
