Chapter 85: The Great Battle

Facing Ouyang Yuan's incomparably domineering palm strike, Chu Jianqiu summoned the Seventh Palm of the Seven Surging Waves Palm and unleashed it with all his might.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion was like a thunderclap on a calm day, with soil raining down from the sky, and a massive crater several dozen feet wide appeared on the ground.

The two figures each retreated hastily, plowing deep furrows into the ground.

Chu Jianqiu felt his chest churn with blood, his arms turning red as if branded with iron, the crimson tide spreading up his arms. Ouyang Yuan's palm clearly contained a terrifying poison.

Chu Jianqiu activated the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique, and after a few breaths, the redness on his arms quickly faded, returning to normal.

With his Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique, the Supreme Chaos Bloodline, and his Supreme Martial Body, there were very few poisons in the world that could harm him.

Ouyang Yuan was also not faring well. The palm force from Chu Jianqiu was like a raging torrent, wave after wave, the叠加 of seven layers of palm force nearly destroying his defenses.

Ouyang Yuan had thought that with this palm strike, even if Chu Jianqiu wasn't killed by the palm force, he would be poisoned to death by the palm's venom.

The Blood Shadow Palm was an extraordinary martial technique of the Mystic Rank. Although he hadn't cultivated it to its peak, he had reached the third level. This palm strike was at least as powerful as a mid-level Mystic Rank martial technique, and even top-tier True Qi Realm Ninth Level martial artists couldn't withstand it.

But when the dust settled, Ouyang Yuan saw Chu Jianqiu standing there as if nothing had happened, his white robe fluttering, exuding an indescribable elegance and grace.

Ouyang Yuan was furious, his figure flickering as he lunged forward again.

Chu Jianqiu still didn't dodge, summoning the Seventh Palm of the Seven Surging Waves Palm to clash with him head-on.

Although the Seven Surging Waves Palm was a low-level Mystic Rank martial technique, when cultivated to perfection, its power could rival that of a mid-level Mystic Rank martial technique. Chu Jianqiu had long cultivated this technique to its peak, and in terms of power, it was not inferior to the third level of Ouyang Yuan's Blood Shadow Palm.

Liu Tianyao, seeing the martial technique Chu Jianqiu used, recognized it as the Seven Surging Waves Palm. Only then did she realize that the mysterious figure in the first private room at the auction in the Ten Thousand Martial Arts Trading Company was Chu Jianqiu.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianyao felt a deep-seated resentment. That day, Chu Jianqiu had made their Liu family lose face in front of everyone.

But that was no longer important. After she joined the Blood Slaughter Sect, the Liu family had been destroyed by the combined forces of the many noble families in Tian Shui City.

And all of this was because of Chu Jianqiu.

Although Liu Tianyao had once regretted it, there was no medicine for regret. The life-and-death enmity between her and Chu Jianqiu had no room for reconciliation.

She had almost caused Chu Jianqiu to perish, and the Liu family had been wiped out because of Chu Jianqiu. The enmity between them was as deep as the sea, and it would never be resolved unless one of them died.

Chu Jianqiu and Ouyang Yuan engaged in a fierce battle, the area around them being flattened, with deep craters appearing on the ground.

The crowd stayed far away, fearing being caught in the aftermath of their battle.

With the intensity of their fight, even ordinary True Qi Realm Eighth Level martial artists would die if caught in the crossfire.

Zhao Gaochi and Ji Zhixin's faces were pale, trembling with fear.

At this moment, they regretted bitterly. If they had known Chu Jianqiu was so terrifying, they wouldn't have provoked him.

Bu Feiyue and Yan Junbi's faces were also extremely grim. If Chu Jianqiu attacked them, they might not be able to defend themselves. It was laughable that they had even thought of harming Chu Jianqiu.

Fortunately, Tan Youxin had taken out a Flash Escape Talisman, which made them hesitant to act. If they had attacked Chu Jianqiu at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, the stronger Chu Jianqiu became, the more they couldn't let him leave alive.

The grudge had been formed, and it wasn't easy to resolve. They had shown killing intent towards Chu Jianqiu, and he wouldn't let them off easily.

Although Chu Jianqiu had displayed such formidable strength, Bu Feiyue had not completely given up on his plans to harm Chu Jianqiu.

Although he might not be a match for Chu Jianqiu, their Law Hall had a more powerful senior disciple who had entered the secret realm. Even if Chu Jianqiu was powerful, he wouldn't be a match for that senior disciple.

Ouyang Yuan, after fighting for a long time, couldn't defeat Chu Jianqiu, and he became increasingly anxious. He had thought that even if Chu Jianqiu was strong, in terms of the thickness of True Qi, he would definitely be inferior to him. After all, Chu Jianqiu was only at the True Qi Realm Fourth Level, while he was a True Qi Realm Eighth Level powerhouse.

But after such a long battle, Chu Jianqiu's True Qi seemed endless, like an ocean, showing no signs of depletion.

Enraged, Ouyang Yuan's body trembled, and a bizarre blood mist suddenly enveloped him, his aura surging even more.

Ouyang Yuan punched Chu Jianqiu, who met the punch with his palm, but was sent flying dozens of feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The power of Ouyang Yuan's punch had increased several times.

Chu Jianqiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, realizing that Ouyang Yuan had used some secret technique to boost his strength temporarily.

Chu Jianqiu narrowed his eyes. If Ouyang Yuan had a way to boost his strength, did he, Chu Jianqiu, not have one?

Chu Jianqiu took out a Strength Enhancement Talisman and slapped it onto his body. The talisman transformed into a golden light and merged into his body, and Chu Jianqiu's aura instantly increased several times.

This Strength Enhancement Talisman was a second-level talisman with an excellent core, capable of increasing strength by three to four times, far surpassing the upper-grade core second-level Strength Enhancement Talismans he had sold.

With both of their strengths enhanced, the battle once again fell into a stalemate.

"Boom!"

Ouyang Yuan was once again sent flying dozens of feet by Chu Jianqiu's palm. He looked at Chu Jianqiu with eyes blazing with anger, but he was helpless against him. Continuing the battle would be difficult to resolve.

Although he still had a powerful trump card, using it now would greatly increase the risk of completing his mission in the Xinze Secret Realm.

If he failed the mission, even as an extremely important disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect, he would not escape severe punishment.

After careful consideration, Ouyang Yuan, though filled with great reluctance, ultimately decided to stop fighting Chu Jianqiu to the death.

Since there was still plenty of time before the entrance to the secret realm opened, he could complete his sect's mission and then come back to kill Chu Jianqiu. In the secret realm, there was no fear of him escaping.

"Leave!" Ouyang Yuan glanced at Chu Jianqiu, angrily waved his hand, and led a group of blood-robed martial artists away.
