At that time, Gu Yuan had suspected that this stranger might be a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator.

Now, Qian Yunfeng was using a sinister trick similar to the evil techniques cultivated by Old Phantom Ghost with his demon spirits. Since the two were in a master and disciple relationship, this made perfect sense!

What surprised Gu Yuan even more, however, was the cultivation level Qian Yunfeng displayed, which had clearly reached the level of an Innate Martial Master.

It can only be said that the technique Qian Yunfeng practiced is indeed sinister and powerful!

Though an evil technique, it's evidently a profound and exquisite technique.

"Fortunately, I followed along today. Otherwise, I would have truly been targeted by this guy, and that would have been troublesome."

Gu Yuan fondled the hilt of the Qiushui Sword, his eyes flickering with a glimmer:

"Fine, since you're going to come looking for me sooner or later, I might as well take the initiative and kill you first!"

Although Qian Yunfeng was an Innate Martial Master, he had only achieved Great Success in Organ Refining and clearly hadn't reached Washing Marrow yet.

Which is to say, this person is not like Old Mo, Xia Mingyang, or Wei Chuan, those seasoned Innate Martial Masters who have undergone the Blood Exchange Stage.

Though quite formidable, he is not invincible for Gu Yuan.

At least, Gu Yuan himself was not an ordinary Peak Martial Master.

He practiced multiple martial arts, including Superior Martial Arts and Supreme Martial Arts.

Plus, he had several innate talents from his spirit pets, putting him far ahead of ordinary Peak Martial Masters in every aspect!

Moreover, he had helpers; Ah Huang was right by his side, and Ah Wu was on his way and would soon arrive.

Strictly speaking, the two demons, in terms of cultivation, were equivalent to Innate Martial Masters.

Although there are slight differences in strength, size, and methods between demons and humans, there was no room for deception in essence.

As for Big Mouth, forget about it, it's not a demon yet but is not far from the mature stage. It's better to let it quietly stay somewhere.

…

"Hmm? What is that smell?"

Inside the cave, the master and servant were talking when Qing Ping frowned, his nose twitching as he picked up strands of a fishy stench.

His face was already covered by a layer of grayness, which he himself hadn't noticed.

"Not good, it's poison!"

Qian Yunfeng's expression changed slightly, reacting first by striking his loyal servant in the chest with his palm!

Boom!

With that palm strike, a sinister wind seemed to rise in the air, emitting a shrill and dull sound.

Qing Ping, already sluggish from poison, was caught off guard and took a palm strike directly to the chest since he had no defense against Qian Yunfeng.

Bam!

Crack, crack, crack!

With a series of crisp and tooth-aching sounds of bones breaking, Qing Ping's chest shattered directly, flesh and blood flew, and fragments of bones and viscera splattered.

The scene was so bloody and violent that it was unbearable to watch!

The entire person was knocked flying backward, lifeless in the air.

The corpse then collided head-on with a gray arrow shooting towards it.

The gray arrow had tremendous power and a horrible toxicity and corrosiveness, blasting a large hole through the body from front to back. The corpse continued its momentum, hitting the wall and bursting into a tragic, beautiful blood flower!

Meanwhile, Qian Yunfeng darted forward ghost-like, striking again with his palm targeted at a dark corner.

In that corner, a dark shadow was originally lurking motionless.

But before the palm force could reach, a bright sword light suddenly flashed.

Clang!

The sword light was dazzling, exuding sharpness and brimming with intense killing intent, stabbing straight at Qian Yunfeng's chest as if trading life for life.

Qian Yunfeng, holding himself in high regard, believed even his hair was more valuable than another person's life. How could he make such a losing move?

He halted his steps, transforming his strike into a grab, his hand enveloped with strands of black True Qi like a living creature, intending to grab the sword barehanded.

The biggest difference between an Innate Martial Master and a Martial Master lies not in physical strength, but in True Qi.

True Qi is what Innate Martial Masters cultivate externally in tendons, bones, skin, and flesh, and internally in organs, purifying and strengthening the physique, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and transforming it by mixing with one's essence and blood.

Its power is immense, capable of injuring people through the air!

It could even render someone immune to blades and spears, enabling them to catch a weapon barehanded.

At least a Martial Master can only rely on weapons or fists to harm the enemy, while an Innate Martial Master can harm them from a distance.

In a clash between the two, the advantage for the Innate Martial Master is massive!

"Qiushui Sword?!"

When Qian Yunfeng saw this sword light, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the stern-faced, black-clothed figure:

"You are Yan Shisan!"

Meanwhile, he accurately grasped the sword light.

But in the next moment, Qian Yunfeng's face changed drastically as he quickly retreated.

Alas, it was too late,

The sword light, like a rebellious sea-overturning poisonous dragon, exceeded his expectations in sheer power.

Swish!

The sword light broke free from Qian Yunfeng's grip, easily cutting a bone-deep wound on his hand, then thrusting into his right chest, swirling and exploding into a bloody hole.

Despite landing a strike, Gu Yuan suddenly felt an eerie chill creeping up his spine, urging him to quickly retreat.

Woo, woo, woo...

Just after he took a few steps back, a claw enveloped in black energy swept past where he had just stood, emitting a heart-wrenching wail, like the cry of fierce ghosts.

If not for retreating timely, even with his success in Horizontal Training, this claw could have split him open.

Surely, with any other Peak Martial Master, this blow might have torn off half their body, leading to a grim death on the spot!

"Good! Very good!"

Qian Yunfeng's face darkened as he glanced down at the teacup-sized bloody hole in his chest, through which even his damaged, wriggling organs could be seen!

With such injuries, an ordinary person would have long collapsed, but Qian Yunfeng merely looked a bit paler now.

He controlled his muscle to constrict, stopping the bleeding, his eyes locking onto Gu Yuan, emanating an extremely dangerous aura!

Upon reaching the Innate Realm, one's life force becomes extraordinarily robust, akin to a cockroach.

Even with torn muscles or damaged internal organs, unless extremely severe, survival is not threatened.

Even if the heart is punctured, one might not die immediately.

"Since you dare hurt me, you shall die!"

Before finishing his words, Qian Yunfeng's voice was chilling to the bone as he rushed forward.

Whoosh!

Due to his speed, the airflow in the cave was stirred like a whirlwind, lifting the dust and stones on the ground.

Then Qian Yunfeng raised his palm, pushing towards Gu Yuan.

Rumble——

Under this palm, the air seemed to solidify, turning into a wall of air like steel, pressing against like mountain torrents and seas.

Under this palm, even a person made of iron would turn into iron sheets!

However, Gu Yuan was no iron man!

By fully employing the Black Turtle Armor Technique, his physique was far tougher than iron!
