Chapter 12: A One-Sided Battle

  Shen Xiang was not only a young alchemist, but also entered the fifth rank of Mortal Martial Realm at a young age. However, he did not become arrogant because of this, and his modesty earned him nods of approval from some of the branch leaders and elders of the Shen family.

  Shen Xiang looked at a middle-aged man beside Shen Haohai, who was Shen Haohai's younger brother, Shen Yihan, a martial artist of the Seventh Realm! He was a slender middle-aged man with a beard. He walked out slowly, and from the beginning, he hadn't said a word.

  Shen Xiang was about to fight him next, and he only had the strength of a fifth-order Mortal Martial Realm.

  Everyone was shocked and didn't dare to breathe out, that the Shen family's head election would actually happen like this, is something that no one had anticipated.

  Shen Yihan saw his nephew being defeated, and there wasn't a hint of anger on his face. He smiled in an eerie tone: "No matter how talented you are, challenging the Seventh Layer of Mortal Martial Realm will always end in defeat."

  Shen Yihan had to admit that if Shen Xiang was given a few more years, he would undoubtedly lose, but at this moment, he had a 100% chance of winning.

  Shen Yihan cultivated a body of icy true energy and was considered someone with relatively special true energy in the Shen family.

  The young genius of the Shen family, actually wants to challenge a seventh-level ordinary martial artist who is an uncle's generation. If it were someone else hearing this before, they would definitely think it was a crazy idea and wouldn't believe it. But after seeing Shen Xiang's formidable skills just now, the people from the Shen family in the square couldn't make up their minds.

  But most people would think that Shen Xiang will lose, after all, the age difference between Shen Xiang and Shen Yihan is quite large, and Shen Yihan is a high-ranking master of the Mortal Martial Realm's seventh layer, with many advanced martial arts skills to boot, his true energy is thick and rich, not something that a young person can defeat.

  A battle of disparity is about to begin, and everyone is quietly watching. After this battle, the tribe leader will be elected!

  After two months of cultivating the Qinglong Divine Art, Shen Xiang possessed the Yin-Yang Divine Pulse. Every day, he spent a large amount of time absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance his internal true energy. After all, he was simultaneously cultivating five True Energy Vortices, cultivating five attributes, so his true energy was extremely dense.

  There is still a sixth "Divine Consciousness Realm" between the fifth "True Qi Realm" and the seventh "True Cauldron Realm". Divine consciousness refers to the special spiritual power that can control true qi through spiritual cultivation, which has a great help in controlling true qi. At the same time, it can also strengthen true qi. Only after having divine consciousness can one cultivate the "True Qi Cauldron Power".

  Shen Yihan was a seven-layer "True Qi Realm", he could use a powerful Qi Blast, which couldn't be compared to True Qi, so he had absolute confidence in easily defeating Shen Xiang.

  Shen Xiang's terrifying martial arts may have intimidated many, but for those who had some understanding of true energy, they could see that his true energy was still quite "immature" and far from reaching the level of an "aura", however, among peers of the same level, it was extremely powerful.

  Shen Yihan slowly walked towards Shen Xiang, and with each step, the temperature on the square dropped by one degree, accompanied by a cold air flow blowing in all directions. It was clear that Shen Yihan was also breaking through the edge, his icy true energy being incredibly thick.

  Shen Xiang was closest to Shen Yihan, and that piercing chill he felt most deeply. At this time, Shen Yihan released a Qi aura condensed from true energy, which could only be done by a martial artist at the 7th level of the Mortal Martial Realm.

  The "Vermilion Bird True Qi" in Shen Xiang's body was of the fire attribute, and after being stimulated by the cold air, the Vermilion Bird True Qi suddenly erupted from his dantian, rushing towards his limbs and bones. After feeling a comfortable warmth, Shen Xiang's somewhat stiff body finally recovered.

  At this moment, Shen Yihanshen smiled coldly and threw a palm from afar. A white chill suddenly gushed out of his open palm, and the oppressive icy aura was clearly visible, shooting straight at Shen Xiang's head.

  Shen Xiang saw the opponent move, his feet slipped, and his footsteps were like a nimble snake, quickly sliding forward. While avoiding the attack, he even counterattacked.

  Shen Xiang's feet moved in a nimble and mysterious pace, his hands transformed into dragon claws, and the captivating Qing Long true energy overflowed from his hands. This was the same Qing Long Claw he used to defeat Shen Zhenhua earlier. Now, he unleashed both claws simultaneously. As his hands materialized two dragon claws formed by his true energy, everyone held their breath again, gazing at him in awe.

  "Hmm!" Shen Yihan let out a low, husky hum, his icy palms slapping together and striking Shen Xiang's dragon claws. A blast of cold air erupted, and in an instant, Shen Xiang's cyan-glowing dragon claws vanished. His arms were now covered in thick ice, and the biting chill seeped into his entire body, rendering him stiff all over.

  Shen Yi let out a cold laugh, and his feet suddenly froze over with frost. With a light leap, he kicked Shen Xiang's cheek with great force, sending him flying tens of meters away.

  Shen Xiang fell to the ground, his cheek was cut by the sharp ice, and several scars were drawn.

  The frost that covered his arms was shattered, but his hands were frozen stiff. He immediately activated the Taiji Divine Art, absorbing the cold air that had entered his body while allowing the fiery Vermilion Bird True Qi to surge into his arms and dispel the numbness.

  Shen Xiang realized at this time that he was facing a huge gap with the current seven-layered Mortal Martial Realm, even if he possessed divine skills, but he had to win.

  "Hehe... I have to admit that you are a genius in the Shen family, unprecedented! But both you and your father are too arrogant!"

  Shen Yihanshen smiled softly and walked step by step towards Shen Xiang, he was not in a hurry to kill Shen Xiang yet. He wanted to trample Shen Xiang in front of many Shen family members, while showing off his strength, intimidating the Shen family.

  Suddenly, Shen Xiang's body bounced up and he actually stood up. Everyone thought he was seriously injured from the kick just now, but unexpectedly, he looked like nothing had happened to him, even Shen Yi Han was astonished.

  Shen Tianhu, who was watching from the side, also let out a sigh of relief and began to circulate his Qi to heal his wounds.

  Seeing Shen Xiang didn't suffer much injury, Shen Yihan made a swift leap forward, his figure fluttering and agile, extremely fast. This lightness of body method was quite pleasing to the eye.

  Shen Yihan approached, Shen Xiang was like being in the icy sky and snowy land, and a large area under his feet was also covered with a layer of frost.

  In the midst of Shen's icy leap, a lone fist pierced the air, its chilling force sending shockwaves through the atmosphere. In an instant, it struck Shen Xiang's chest, and a burst of fresh blood gushed out from the impact site, only to be immediately covered by a layer of frost.

  "It's Xuan Bing Gang Jing! The top-notch martial arts of the Xuan level, when released, can pierce through metal and crack stones!" Shen Tianhu said with a serious tone.

  Shen Xiang was hit and his body flashed, dodging Shen Yihan's aerial kick. As a result, Shen Yihan's foot, covered in frost, heavily stomped on the ground, shattering a large piece of stone bricks. The shattered stone bricks were immediately frozen.

  "When he unleashes his aura, there are two weaknesses. One is that it consumes a lot of true energy, and the other is that it greatly drains his mental state. If he doesn't use his aura, he won't be able to heavily injure you!" Shen Tianhu said.

  Shen Xiang nodded in agreement, now all he had to do was drag it out!
