"Hmph! You're no match for me!" Ou Yang's hand flipped over, and a three-foot purple-red sword appeared in his palm. This was actually a top-grade treasure of the Human Rank.

  The true yuan poured into the sword body, and the purple-red long sword turned into a strange white bone color. Ouyang's sword was cut out, accompanied by a burst of ghostly wailing sounds, colliding with Long Yun's spear.

  "Bang!"

  Guns and swords clashed, the true yuan rampaged out in a reverse roll, directly overturning seven or eight tables. Long Yun's whole body shook, and he only felt a chill to the extreme, like a poisonous snake drilling into his body. His right hand holding the gun instantly lost its sensation, as if it were not his own.

  Long Yun took several steps back, his face pale, while Ouyang stood still on the spot, and even the wine table behind him was not affected at all.

  "Big brother."

  "Senior brother."

  The two men and one woman behind Long Yun hurried over to support him, but as soon as they touched his body, they felt a chill run through their hands and were startled.

  Lin Ming watched clearly from the side, Ou Yang was using the Absolute Life White Bone Sword, this move he had experienced in both Zhang Guanyu and Ou Yang Dihua's hands.

  Although Ouyang Xiu's mastery of the True Yuan was far inferior to that of Ouyang Yaru, when it came to controlling the Absolute Bone Sword, he was actually more skilled than Ouyang Yaru.

  "This Ou Yang, although his cultivation hasn't reached the Condensing Pulse stage, the realm of 'He Huan Shen Gong' is even higher than Ou Yang Zhihua's, and can be considered a genius, with something to be proud of."

  Ouyang burst out laughing, "Can't even withstand a single sword? A martial artist from the Sixteen Repairing Martial Family is indeed useless!"

  "I say, why don't the sixteen families just discuss with the thirty-six countries and hold a martial arts conference of their own? Don't come to Qixing Valley and lose face, lest you won't even be able to enter Shandemen in the future and become a laughing stock!"

  "Haha, Ouyang brother said it well. A pile of mouse droppings can spoil a whole pot of soup. The total number of people who can pass the entrance exam is limited to 22 years old, and the threshold for selection is already very low. As a result, more than 200 people came, but only 70 or 80 people could enter the mountain gate after passing the entrance exam. After so much effort, running tens of thousands of miles, they couldn't even get in the door. Is it interesting?"

  Listening to these people's unscrupulous teasing, Long Yun's anger ignited, he suddenly let out a loud roar, his true yuan surged violently, his face turned into an eerie purple-red color, the floor under his feet was ripped open with a loud crash, even the walls trembled slightly.

  "Get out!"

  Long Yun's figure blurred, like a ghost rushing to Ouyang's face, holding two guns in his hands and smashing them down heavily. After this shot was fired, Long Yun's body burst out with piercing blood light, like a red sun rising. Obviously, he had used up all his skills.

  Ouyang's eyes revealed a solemn expression for the first time, he fiercely bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of vital blood. It sprayed directly onto the sword body, and the originally cold and shining longsword absorbed the fresh blood and transformed into an eerie crimson color.

  "Soul-Extinction Blood Skull!"

  Ouyang Lie let out a loud shout, and a heart-wrenching roar was heard. The entire wine tower was filled with eerie winds, and the air was devoid of any vital energy. A red skull shot out from the sword and flew straight towards Long Yun!

  The skull opened its bloody mouth wide, and Long Yun let out a loud roar as he stabbed his spear into the skull's mouth. His true yuan exploded, but to his surprise, the blood skull swallowed all of his true yuan like a balloon inflating, and then bit down on Long Yun's shoulder!

  "Ah——"

  Long Yun let out a mournful cry, feeling as if all the blood and energy in his body had been sucked into the Blood Skull with just one bite. His right arm, which had been bitten by the Blood Skull, began to wither away at a speed visible to the naked eye. Meanwhile, after absorbing Long Yun's vital energy, the Blood Skull grew even more vibrant and red, as if it was about to drip with blood.

  "Big brother!"

  "Big Brother!"

  The girl with Long Yun almost cried out at this scene, obviously having very deep feelings for Long Yun, probably not just as simple as senior and junior fellow disciples.

  Ouyang saw the girl's reaction, and a hint of lustful light flashed in his eyes. He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressing the turmoil of true yuan within him. Using the Soul-Devouring Blood Skull had cost him dearly; without several days of cultivation, he wouldn't be able to recover to his peak state.

  At this time, Long Yun had been completely swallowed by the Blood Skull, his body floating in mid-air, as if wrapped in a huge red blood bubble, his face pale, like he was dead.

  Although it looks terrifying, Ou Yang actually didn't make a move to kill, at the moment when the martial arts competition was about to begin, if he were to kill participants in public, the influence would be too bad, even if Ou Yang had a powerful backer in Qixing Valley, he wouldn't dare do so.

  The girl wished she could chop Ouyang into pieces at this moment, but she still managed to maintain a thread of rationality. Even Longyun was no match for her, let alone the gap between them would be even greater. "Let go of my senior brother!"

  Ouyang smiled lewdly at the girl and said, "Want me to let your senior brother go? Heh heh, there's no such cheap thing. I used up a lot of my essence blood to bring out this Soul-Extinguishing Skull, it'll take several days for me to recover from the loss. The sect's martial competition is in a few days, and my losses won't be small."

  The girl was so angry that she trembled all over, her full bosom heaving violently as she said in a tone of hatred: "What do you want?"

  Ouyang greedily swept a glance at the girl's plump chest, and chuckled: "Simple, accompany me in dual cultivation for three days, let me replenish my qi and blood. Don't worry, dual cultivation will also be beneficial to you..."

  "You...you..." The girl could hardly believe her ears, how shameless can he be!

  "Jiū mèi, don't waste your breath on this beast! Let's go together and kill him!" The two young men behind the girl were burning with anger, and they simultaneously drew out their long spears from their quivers.

  "Right, let's go together!" Several people could no longer bear it, their true yuan bursting out, their kung fu methods identical, obviously all from the legacy of the Dragon family.

  Ouyang snorted, "You're also worthy!"

  "Hey, let's have some fun with you guys." Several disciples in brocade clothes walked out from behind Ou Yang, smiling. They were also at the peak of Tempering Marrow and could easily handle these three people, who were no match for Long Yun earlier.

  For a moment, the momentum of both sides burst out, and the Long family's side was clearly weaker. The girl's eyes flashed with hatred, but her pretty face was deathly pale. She knew that if they fought, she would definitely lose.

  Just then, the three people suddenly heard a hissing sound above their heads. They looked up to see a purple electric snake drilling into the blood skull, swimming around in circles, and then they only heard a "peng" sound. The blood skull turned into a bloody mist and exploded, and Long Yun, who was almost unconscious, fell down with it.

  "Big Brother!"

  "Big brother!"

  The girl and two young men rushed over to hold Long Yun, seeing his pale face and trembling lips, the girl's heart ached like a knife cut.

  "Who!?"

  Jue Xuan's blood skull was connected to Ouyang Jingxue, but it was suddenly broken by someone. His body shook violently, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Ouyang was shocked and angry as he looked towards Lin Ming and Qin Xuan, because they were in a relatively remote location, which he hadn't paid much attention to before.

  "Who are you? Which family?" Looking at Lin Ming and Qin Xuan's attire, it was clear that they were not from the Seven Profound Valleys Sect, which is why he asked.

  "We are not from any family, we come from Tianyun Country." Qin Xuan looked at Ouyang with disgust, she was most disgusted by these arrogant and bullying disciples of the Hehuan Sect.

  The seven sects of the Qi Xuan Valley are both orthodox and evil, and the seven factions inside have different personalities due to their different cultivation methods. As the saying goes, "different paths don't make plans together". The relationship between the seven elders is not good, and the master of the Qi Xuan Valley can't do anything about it.

  In the Seven Profound Valleys, the He Huan Sect was notorious for its evil deeds and overflowing malice. This was determined by their cultivation method, as they needed to plunder and pillage everywhere to refine their furnaces and tripods in order to make their sect powerful. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to advance in their cultivation. Moreover, the disciples of He Huan Sect were vigorous and strong, often doing some domineering and bullying things from time to time.

  For such things, the Great Elder of He Huan Zong took a permissive attitude, as long as no big trouble was caused, and as for the Master of Qi Xuan Valley, he couldn't control it even if he wanted to.

  "Tianyun Country? Haha, it's actually Tianyun Country, among the 36 countries, Tianyun Country is only mediocre. You're not even comparable to the 16th rank of the Wu family!" Although Ouyang laughed wildly, he was secretly on guard. When did Tianyun Country produce a genius warrior with lightning attributes? A lightning attribute warrior has a restraining effect on ghosts, making them extremely troublesome.

  The several people behind Ou Yang still didn't know that Ou Yang had just been at a disadvantage, hearing that they were from Tianyun Country, burst out laughing, "Brother Ou Yang, no need for you to take action, we'll handle it. Two country bumpkins from Tianyun Country with only Bone Forging cultivation dare to be arrogant? That little girl's skin is indeed quite good-looking! Brothers, let's help him get her and assist Brother Ou Yang in cultivating the 'Union of Joyful Spirits Technique' to the fourth level of perfection!"

  When he heard that the other party had actually set his sights on himself, Qin Xuan was furious, gritted his teeth and drew out the long sword of the Su Mei seal.

  At this time, Lin Ming pressed down on Qin Xuan's hilt and said, "Let me."

  The hand holding the sword was pressed down, Qin Xuan said with a bite of his lip: "I can handle these small fries, except for that Ou Yang I'm not confident, but I can take care of myself."

  After hearing Qin Xuan's words, Lin Ming was slightly surprised. That Ou Yang probably had the strength of a mid-term martial artist in the Condensing Pulse stage. If Qin Xuan could protect herself from his hands, she would at least have to be at the peak of the early Condensing Pulse stage. Her progress was too fast, and her sixth-grade talent was indeed extraordinary.

  He still pressed down Qin Xuan's sword and smiled: "I'll take this round."

  Lin Ming said it was a fight, not a martial duel. To him, this was just a fight to vent his anger for the time being and didn't count as a martial duel at all.

  The disciples of Tianyun City, especially those from large families who practice martial arts, often get into big fights in taverns and brothels over a single disagreement or for the sake of women. This behavior may seem arrogant and brainless, but isn't it just the manifestation of youthful passion and infatuation with beautiful women?

  Lin Ming didn't agree with this approach, but he had to admit that he had also envied the carefree life of those wealthy young masters in their luxurious surroundings. However, at that time, his abilities were limited and he had no background, so he spent every day practicing diligently behind the mountain, a life that was completely out of his reach.

  The boy's nature had been suppressed for many years. Now that he had this opportunity, he really wanted to fight Qin Xuan.
